Coming Soon - Wildfire's Reign 🔥 Where power meets passion, and secrets burn brightest.

When twenty-seven-year-old Ziyana Raza's cousin is dumped by her fiancé with a messy excuse, it's Ziyana's last straw. A former hopeless romantic-now disillusioned by too many betrayals and heartbreaks-Ziyana abandons all notions of true love and vows to remain single forever. "Forever" meaning as long as her Pakistani Muslim family's patience for her singlehood thins. Besides, she's too busy hating her grueling corporate job as a data analyst to focus on anything else. And as long as she convinces herself that love is an anomaly, she'll be fine. It's safer to be alone than blindsided by heartbreak, anyway. But right when she's settling into a somewhat comfortable routine of avoiding men and scoffing at the idea of marriage, Shahzain Shah barrels into her life. Charming, good-natured, and a little too observant, the new Business Intelligence Manager of her company seems determined to crack Ziyana's armor. But as much as his compassionate nature gets on Ziyana's nerves, he also...somehow knows all the right things to say. Sees through her facade of being strong 24/7 and appreciates her hard work. Befriends her brother and respects her parents. Makes her laugh even when she's trying desperately to hold it back. She can't help but reminisce that an old version of herself would have thought Shahzain checked all the boxes for a potential spouse. Too bad she's dead set on her mission...right?

Problems are like beams of light. Majority of them get absorbed. Some get reflected and passed on to others while some get refracted and are tweaked a little before being passed on to others. The problems that dominate our lives are the ones that perform the opposite of Total Internal Reflection - Total Absorption. Naina Singhania believes that she has the most uneventful life ever. The people she is surrounded with-not so much. Her associates make up for the lack of spice in her life or so she thought. What she doesn't realise is the drama she talks about isn't in third person. Somebody else might be bearing the brunt of it, but Naina always gets a share. Share by share, her experiences are defined. Experiences that are centred around her, that cater to her but in somebody else's background. The problems and struggles that are solely hers are stashed away in the farthest corner of her mind. Who wants to relive the non-good memories of their own lives! Naina focuses on being the perfect second character. Long conversations with friends do not include the sleepless nights to crack her college, the financial instability that subtly influenced her growing years or her impressive multi-tasking skills. They highlight other topics like her ex-crush and ex-bestfriend's relationship or her dance partner's injury one day before their show. Read on to see how Naina's life is inadvertently impacted by the chaos she is surrounded by. Afterall, her life is full of reflections and refractions.

In a city where schedules and spontaneity rarely meet, a single cup of coffee becomes the unlikely spark for a collision of worlds. One is scattered with sketchpads, notes, and half finished outputs for her clients, a quiet chaos that speaks of restless energy and uncontained creativity. Across the room, a briefcase rests by a chair, emails pinging in a rhythm dictated by efficiency, each movement precise, measured, and intentional. ‎ ‎When a lipstick-stained cup is left behind, two lives, one moving at the speed of inspiration, the other governed by order-intersect in a fleeting, ordinary moment. An apology muttered over the rim of a forgotten drink evolves into conversation, and what begins as a simple exchange quickly grows into something neither anticipates. Between stolen glances, unplanned meetings, and the rhythm of everyday life, the line between chance and connection blurs, revealing how easily lives can entwine when worlds that shouldn't meet, collide. ‎ Started: 12/23/25 Ended:
