His Childhood Bride

She was only six when her fate was sealed with his name.

Thirteen years later, when Dua returns from abroad, everyone expects a westernized, rebellious girl. Instead, they find a soft, cultured young woman whose beauty and grace leave whispers of envy trailing in her wake.

She is no longer the timid child everyone remembers, but a breathtaking young woman draped in grace and quiet strength.
The entire haveli whispers about her beauty. Some admire. Some envy. But only one man burns with an obsession he can't control-her husband by nikkah, Taimoor Arsalan Shah.
Cold. Powerful. Feared by many. Taimoor never wanted a wife chosen for him. Never wanted the childhood nikkah that tied him to her.

Years later, he has built a life of authority, discipline, and unyielding pride. But when Dua walks back into his haveli, draped in innocence and quiet strength, he is struck with a possessiveness he never thought himself capable of.

Her lowered lashes and trembling lips make him realize that the girl he once ignored is now the only woman capable of undoing him.
She wants freedom. He wants her surrender.

And in a world bound by family honor, secrets, and desire-

love was never supposed to feel this dangerous.The girl he once rejected is now the woman he cannot let go of-even if it means breaking her heart to claim it.

"You were mine before you even knew what marriage meant, Dua. And now... you'll know exactly what it means to belong to me."
