The women in her world are given three choices. Be perfect. Keep secrets. Or run.
At nineteen, Meerab Alarcón chose the third - leaving her family, Los Angeles, and Murtasim Khan behind. In that order.
Eight years later, he walks back in like he belongs there. A man who notices everything, says nothing, and refuses to leave.
She has two rules.
Rule one: nobody gets close enough to hurt her.
Rule two: Murtasim Khan is not an exception.
She just can't figure out why rules are suddenly so hard to keep.

Meri Musibat [Tere Bin FF]
If 21-year-old Murtasim Shahnawaz Khan were to rank television-worthy revelations in his family, the revelation that Meerab was his chacha-saab's daughter, a Khan, would take the cake. If the secret had shaken him less, he would have enjoyed her gobsmacked expression more. But he was too busy worrying about the new musibat he had inherited - the annoying girl who was once a mere acquaintance was now someone he was forced to understand. Forced to protect. Forced to accommodate into his already complicated life. Follows Meerab x Murtasim during her summer visits to the Khan Haveli | Tere Bin AU based on "what if everyone found out the truth of Meerab's parentage in a less dramatic way".Complete![Infinite Encounters: Love Across Universes [Tere Bin]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/363565806-256-k627885.jpg)

The Confusing Diary of a Very Angry Meerab
Post Ep 18: In spite of trying to take the full brunt of the accident, Murtasim could only watch in horror as Meerab is thrown out of the car and hits her head in the pavement. The last thing Meerab remembers was the excitement of her upcoming 21st birthday but now apparently it's almost 4 months past that. She is apparently already 21. Her parents are not her parents. Anwar Khan is her biological father. She is married and Murtasim Khan is... in love with her. Well, apparently anyway.![Dhaagey: The Ties that Bind Us [Tere Bin FF]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/340876426-256-k968149.jpg)

You and Me (Tere Bin FF)
A different take on my favorite couple...instances from the show if the story was written differently. Meerab and Murtasim get married under the same circumstances, but they don't have a contract.

He was born to rule; on land and high in the skies. She, it seemed, was born to reign over him. He had defied all odds in his life. She was hell-bent on deifying him. Murtasim Shahnawaz Khan's destiny had been written for him; to take over his family's ancestral seat as a feudal lord and live his life for the people. He'd altered destiny. A man of iron-clad principles, he'd silenced all who dared to question him by becoming Khan Murtasim Khan and Captain Khan simultaneously. He did his duty and indulged in his passion. Why did he have to choose one? He made the rules after all... Meerab Waqas Ahmed didn't like rules. Especially ones made to control her, or any woman for that matter. Out with the old, in with the 'whatever the hell I want to do' was the way it worked in Meerab's world. If this meant deifying family tradition to pave her own way in the world, then she was willing to pay the price for her independence. They say if you play with fire, you're bound to burn, but doesn't ice burn the warm-blooded too? Fire and ice went hand in hand, just like desire and destruction. Note: This story is not completely 'mature'. It may include parts which are mature but can be enjoyed otherwise as well.
