Drenched Silence

The mountain road to Abbottabad was a treacherous snake of slick asphalt and blinding downpour, but inside the leather-lined sanctuary of the SUV, the world was reduced to the precise, rhythmic sweep of the windshield wipers.

Haider Shah, at twenty-nine, the CEO of Shah Corp did not believe in weather delays, fate, or the quiet magic the local villagers attributed to these misty peaks. He survived on dark espresso, uncompromising deadlines, and the absolute predictability of financial spreadsheets. He was a man forged in ice-disciplined, calculating, and ruthlessly cold.

A flash of red pierced the torrential darkness. A silhouette-frail, drenched, and terrified-stumbled directly into the path of his car.

When he stepped out into the freezing rain, he found Noorain Iqbal. At twenty, she was a stark contrast to his harsh reality-shy, sweet, and innocent, looking like a shattered porcelain doll wrapped in a ruined bridal lehenga. Her soft brown eyes met his through the downpour for one fleeting second and his world came to a halt.

What happens when Haider agrees to marry Noorain in the dim lights of the hospital midst of the beeps of the machine?

A vow that he takes to protect her all his life...
