Amina never believed a marriage could feel like a second chance - not after everything she escaped.
But when she is bound to Zayad Usman Musa, a man who carries his own storms and an impossible set of expectations, their union becomes a battlefield of unspoken truths, cold misunderstandings, and a vow neither of them was ready to make.
She hides a past she fears,
He holds a file that lies.
And between them lies a marriage built on tension, fate, and a connection they both pretend not to feel.
When vows are unkept... hearts break, secrets rise, and love becomes the most dangerous truth of all.
