She already had the man she wanted.
He never wanted a wife.
Too bad their families made a promise years before either of them were born.
Now Arwa and Zaheer are expected to honor it.
One is determined to escape it.
The other couldn't care less.
But fate has a strange way of turning resentment into longing... and promises into something far more dangerous.

PEARLS AND POISON
For five years, twenty-three-year-old Khadija lived in a sanctuary of her own making. Far away from her father's sprawling mansion and the toxic shadow of her stepmother and stepsisters, she built a life filled with light, peace, and a thriving perfume business. She thought she had permanently escaped the golden cages of old money. But when her powerful father (or so people think) snaps his fingers and demands her return, Khadija is forced to make a devastating choice: step back into the lion's den, or watch her mother break under the family pressure. Choosing her mother, Khadija walks back through the heavy black gates of her childhood nightmare. But she isn't the quiet, compliant eighteen-year-old they remember. Armed with a cold resolve, Khadija plans to survive the hostile glares of her stepsisters and whatever calculated "plans" her stepmother has waiting for her. What she didn't plan for, however, was Hammad Aali. Hammad Aali, relentlessly charming, permanently calm, modern businessman and a man whose family is constantly pushing a parade of elite cousins and high-society women into his line of sight. From desperate socialites to Khadija's own step-sister, who will do absolutely anything to claim his name, Hammad is a prize to be won. But he has zero interest in being trapped. Untill he met Khadija. Sharp-tongued, fierce, and utterly unimpressed by his status, she is the one woman who has the audacity to ghost him. For a man used to women falling at his feet, her silence is a reckoning, a challenge he cannot seem to walk away from.
Bintu ardo
An emotional tale of self-destruction, survival and healing woven through a society where tradition and expectations often speak louder than truth. To the world, Farida Bintu Ardo is a bitter, emotionless disruptor who finds peace in chaos. But beneath her sharp tongue is a woman who has spent years mastering a dark art of survival-shielding herself with choices she knows are sinful, and burying truths that were never meant to stay hidden. She believes she is finally in control. Until her world crosses paths with Saleem Kabir Jega. Haunted by his own past regrets, Saleem carries deep scars beneath a mask of restraint. He is everything she didn't see coming. When their forced union becomes the very reason the fragile life Farida fought so hard to protect begins to unravel, her desperate defenses turn against her. Will she finally face the truths she has hidden from the world, or will her dangerous need for control destroy her completely?
PUDDLES
Fatima is in her third year of architecture school, and life has never felt better: stellar grades, loyal friends, and Jamal, a boyfriend who loves her the way rain loves soil, quietly and completely. Isah has mastered the art of restraint, putting principles above all else and never once blurring the line between professional and personal, until grief collides with proximity and a girl lands in front of his car, striking a place in his chest he thought had long since healed. The timing is wrong, the wounds are fresh, and some kinds of love ask to be chosen twice. Puddles is a story about the love that finds you, and the love you were already keeping.
AMRAH

Amrah Saleh Imam's hatred becomes something far more complicated when she discovers that the man everyone admires is hiding secrets dangerous enough to destroy lives. But this isn't just a love story. It's a story about consequences. About choices that can't be undone. About people who aren't who they seem. And about the terrifying realization that sometimes the person you should run from is the person your heart keeps choosing.Zakończone

Once upon a heartbreak
Najma never planned to be at that art exhibition. She only went because Maryam practically dragged her there. And honestly? She regretted it the moment a certain grumpy stranger snapped at her and ruined her mood for the entire day. She didn't even ask for his name. She just wanted to go home. But somehow... the universe wasn't done with them. They kept running into each other - in places neither of them expected, at moments that felt too strange to call coincidence. And slowly, all that irritation turned into something softer. Something real. Before she knew it, she was saying yes to the man who once spoiled her day. Their home was warm. Peaceful. The kind of happiness people pray for. Until the day everything shattered. One message. One video. One betrayal she was never prepared to face. Najma walked away. Ayaan broke quietly. Maryam drowned in a truth no one wanted to hear. And somewhere in the shadows, someone else was pulling the strings... someone neither of them suspected. Now Najma is about to learn that not every story is what it looks like - and not every villain shows their face. Read to see how everything unravels, and how the truth finds its way back... no matter how long it takes.
