The Qaid Of Ishq

He was a gentleman... until betrayal turned him into the man everyone feared.

Aslan Meer had everything a man could ask for-a respected name, a powerful haveli, and a heart that still believed people were worth trusting.

Aroosha had only ever seen the good in him.

To her, Aslan Meer was the kind of man who made kindness look effortless. The kind of man a girl could quietly fall for without even realizing when it happened.

But some love stories don't begin with a confession.

Some begin with a secret.

A betrayal that had nothing to do with her.

And a man whose heart is broken so badly that love is no longer enough to save him.

When Aroosha finds herself bound to the very man she once admired from afar, she discovers that the Aslan Meer she knew no longer exists-and she had done nothing to deserve the darkness he now carries.

Now she must learn to live with the man everyone fears...

while Aslan Meer struggles to decide whether he can protect the one innocent person caught in the ruins of his trust-

or the one truth he was never meant to lose.

Because sometimes, an innocent heart has to pay for a sin it never committed.

And sometimes... it's the one who makes you believe in love again. 🖤
