Sabrina always dreaded facing her father. He always found fault in her decisions and wanted her to be a stereotypical obedient daughter.
Muhsin Mashe, a very popular politician wanted all his children to be master pieces, sculpted by his own decisions and desires.
But then Sabrina was as stubborn headed as her father. She wanted to have a life sculpted with her own hands. She would not allow her passion for fashion designing go unfulfilled simply because Muhsin Mashe wants her to be a proctor.
Despite loving her daughter so much, Minal Muhsin couldn't afford to go against her husband's wishes; her marriage was riding on it. Her interference would have her and her daughter thrown out.
Innocent Sabrina thinks her mother in support of her father's decisions. A girl of her age shouldn't be subjected to such rash decisions, she should be left to sway with like the wind. Her two options were to run away or a build an alter life. One where she could sway with the wind.

Double fire🔥
She breathes fire 🔥 He breathes fire🔥 The word 'detest' isn't enough to describe what these two have for each other. Some say respect is reciprocal, but not when two blaring fire clash. She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderer. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. 'Time' for her isn't something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water. She was a wild and crazy one; always stomping on eggshells that everyone else tip-toed on. She held fire in her eyes. She was fierce, and strong, and full of fire, and that not even she could hold herself back because her passion burned brighter than her fears. They all saw her as an angry person, but why bother explaining to them, when sadness and grief engulfs your heart, it turns into anger. What happens when she cross paths with an arrogant,short tempered and egoistic man? He isn't one to lose, he gets whatever he wants when he wants it. His mind is clouded with nothing but success. He has a heart, but doesn't know how to use it, he doesn't know what it's meant for other than family. It's small, but it's there. He does more and says less.

Destined Hearts
Muhammad thought of Madeenah as a child, younger than his baby sister, although way more mature. She seemed to have created a bond with his daughter and that was all that came to his mind about her. Not her smooth caramel skin, or her captivating light brown eyes and neither did her sweet voice do it for him. Madeenah thought of Ya Muhammad as an arrogant and stoic person but a really good father. In truth she was terrified of him. She hated the way he would look at her, as though she was less important than him. She hated the way he never spoke unless he needed to. She hated the way his voice washed over her, making her shiver. She hated his height and how it made him tower over her small frame. She hated him but she just couldn't stop thinking about him. So what happens when the two end up being brought together by an unusual arrangement . He's older, she's younger. He has a daughter and she has barely begun life. Will he let go of the past and try to find happiness or will he drag her down with him? --------------------------------------- "Let's get married." He says with such a straight face that I feel stupid as I chuckle. "What did you just say?" I ask in disbelief. "You heard me Madeenah." He says in a gravelly tone. "Why would you want to marry me?" I shake my head. "You don't like me." "I like you well enough to be married to you." His broad shoulders shrug in his familiar black suit. What is going on with him? And what have I gotten myself into?

Not that she'd not seen odd messages before but this one, in particular, brought her world crashing; because she'd never seen this message before, how would it be that she was the person that sent it? How could she not remember ever writing this message? The words, the contents all didn't make sense. Her head started spinning and she felt light headed, her knees became weak like melted rubber.
