She's quiet, shy and reserved. She gets her fair share of the male attention... which she ignores. The only males she's been seen to talk to?... her dad, brother and nephew.
Meet Hauwah, a 19year old girl of gentle beauty. She has no time for boys... why? They freak her out!
He saw, he coveted,
He fought, he conquered,
Meet Khalid, a young successful consultant who fell for her and gradually broke down her defenses.
She's his big bro's bro's sweetheart, but that didn't stop him from going after her. She rejected him, he persisted, continuing to fight, why?...
She had something of his that he meant to get at all costs, no matter what!

"Don't see why you have to move around with the baby, why can't you just leave him with his mother?" I stared up at the man looming over me as he continued to scold me, I was frozen with fear. He demanded to know why I saddled my younger brother with the responsibility of taking care of him, thankfully Abdullah chose that moment to show up, and him being the ever over protective little brother, he jumped into the fray, snapping at the man as he did so, "The baby's mother is dead and she's handling more responsibility than you know, so don't judge." The man looked shocked (understatement)...
Like every other Muslimah her age, Syeda Anaabiya Ahmed dreamed of a love that would heal her scars-a love that would cherish and protect her. As an orphan, she had spent her life fighting battles no child should face-struggling for survival, for a home, and, most painfully, for the love even her own younger sister denied her.
Her last hope rested on marriage-the man destined to be her partner, her guide, the one who would help her grow into a better Muslimah. But that dream shattered the moment she was forced to marry Syed Humza Junaid-a man she loathed, a man as ruthless as the dark empire he ruled, a man who saw love as nothing more than a weakness.
Defiant and unyielding, Anaabiya refuses to be another pawn in Humza's world of power and crime. She challenges him at every turn, determined not to bow to his arrogance and cruelty. But just when she thinks she has him figured out, the cracks in his armor begin to show-a man tormented by his demons, a man who, against all odds, might just be capable of love.
As their world spirals into chaos, hatred begins to blur into something far more dangerous. Love. Obsession. Destruction.
Will Anaabiya tame the monster within him, or will she lose herself in the fire that is Syed Humza Junaid?
Join Anaabiya on a journey where love and ruin walk hand in hand-where the heart's deepest desires clash with fate's cruelest twists.
