Indieauthors Stories

Inaya Fathima Siddiqui grew up learning how to shrink herself. Losing her mother at ten and raised under the shadow of a cruel stepmother and a cold-eyed grandmother, her only escape was silence. Intelligent and soft-spoken, Inaya spent her teenage years surviving - until her world shifted with a single decision: an arranged marriage proposal from Zain Ahmed, her father's older cousin's son, nine years her senior. At first, he hesitated. But then... he made her believe. Inaya, naive and love-starved, fell - deeply, beautifully, blindly. What started as hope soon twisted into heartbreak. Zain disappeared from her life as quickly as he had entered it, only for Inaya to discover that he was engaged to someone else - the woman he truly loved. And still, she prayed. Still, she waited. Years later, when life gave her a second chance, she found that some hearts never return - and some girls grow strong in the ruins left behind. His Chanda, Her Ruin is a quiet romantic tragedy - aching, raw, and hauntingly real. A story of betrayal, unspoken prayers, and the strength it takes to walk away... even when your heart stays behind.
