Tainted Ties
Suhaira has lived her whole life under comparisons - always falling short beside her cousin, Saad, the golden boy of the family. Reserved, accomplished, and endlessly admired, he embodies everything their grandmother wanted Suhaira to also be and everything she resents. After years of distance, fate pulls them back under the same roof, where every stolen glance and accidental encounter reignites the tension she thought she'd buried. To Suhaira, Saad is still the untouchable, indifferent figure who once made her feel small. To Saad, she's still the one person who unsettles the calm he works so hard to maintain. But behind his composed silence hides a vulnerability he cannot voice and beneath her defiance lingers a heart that refuses to stay guarded. Between biting banter, protective gestures he'll never admit to, and the quiet pull neither dares acknowledge, their strained bond begins to shift. What happens when the weight of unspoken emotions becomes too heavy to ignore? In a world bound by family, tradition, and a secret threatening to spill , Suhaira and Saad must decide whether their tainted ties will break them apart or tie them together forever.
