THE UNCHOSEN VOW

They had never chosen each other.

Layla had her own plans for life. An expressive, free-spirited doctor, she had no intention of letting anyone else decide her future. Saeed, a reserved and stoic architect, had his own ambitions, his own routines, and little interest in having any of them disrupted.

Then their families make a decision neither of them saw coming.

Marriage.

To their parents, it is a perfect match. Two respectable families, two accomplished children, a union that makes sense in every way that matters.

Except to them.

Neither asked for this marriage. Neither was looking for love and neither is prepared to surrender the life they had planned for themselves.

But sometimes, the vows we never choose become the ones that change us.

And somewhere between two reluctant hearts, family expectations, and a life neither of them intended to share, they may discover that not every love story begins with a choice.

Some begin with a vow.
