Qatal-e-Ishq

**He was danger wrapped in power. She was silence wrapped in blue eyes.**

In the Khan khandaan, power was inherited before love ever had the chance to exist.
For years, the minister's chair belonged to the family. Politics ran through their blood, control lived in their walls, and loyalty was valued more than happiness.

Then he came back.

After four years abroad, twenty-one-year-old Haider Zarrar Ali Khan returns to reclaim his place as the next Sardar of the family empire. cold, feared, dangerously intelligent, and carrying enough darkness to make people lower their eyes when he walks into a room.

But the girl he left behind is no longer fourteen.
Ayzal Rehmat Ali Khan is eighteen now. Quiet. Soft-spoken. The kind of girl who learned how to shrink herself to fit everyone else's comfort. She never asks for anything. Never complains. Never raises her voice.

Until him.

Because the moment Haider sees her again,
something shifts. And obsession is a dangerous thing inside a house already filled with secrets, politics, control, power struggles, forced choices, and a love that should never have happened in the first place.

Especially when Ayzal's father would rather burn the world down than hand his daughter to Haider.
But some love stories don't begin with destiny.
They begin with destruction.
