Shaina is broken. She's lost her feelings. She's numb. She's lost hope in life. All she wants is for God to get her out her misery and end her life already. Afterall she's sick of dragging out her useless and meaningless life.
Jake has a good life. He has nothing to complain about. He has everything: cash, cars, chicks, looks and an elephant-size ego and the sky-high attitude. And of course, his camera. Everything around Jake means nothing to him. The only thing that matters is his camera. He loves to click pictures. It's his passion.
What happens when the two cross paths? Will Jake be able to fix the broken-to-pieces Shaina? Or is she broken into too many pieces that it would be too hard for Jake to get the pieces together and solve the puzzle that this girl is?

Cold, distant, and poisoned by assumptions, Amaan enters the forced marriage with one intention- to keep his distance and keep his resentment alive. Asmaira enters with something far heavier- guilt. Not to protect him. Not to save him. But because she knows the truth of what happened... and she cannot bear to confess it. They have never met. But the moment they do, the air turns sharp- full of tension, unspoken accusations, and the kind of hate that feels too much like longing. He despises her for a sin she never committed. She punishes herself for a sin she never confessed. And marriage turns into a battleground where silence is a weapon... and closeness is a threat. In this house, love is impossible. Trust is deadly. But hatred? Hatred is the only thing keeping them alive.
