"I'm so sorry," she said, but there was no fear in her voice. "I wasn't looking where I was going."
I clenched my jaw. "You should have been."
To my surprise, she didn't back down. "Well, maybe you should watch where you're going, too. It's not like I did this on purpose."
I stopped, stunned. "Do you have any idea who you're speaking to?"
Her eyes didn't flinch. "Yes, I do. And I don't care. I'm not going to stand here while you blame me."
I was taken aback. Most people would've cowered, but she didn't.
"Next time, be more careful," I said, colder now.
"I will," she replied, "And maybe don't judge so quickly."

Zahra is a kind, fierce, and hardworking woman who is deeply dedicated to her religion. As a hijabi, she maintains a strong sense of faith and self-respect, and her unwavering determination to do right by her values makes her both compassionate and savage when necessary.

When they are arranged to marry, their worlds collide. Zahra's fiery independence and strong beliefs challenge Rashid's dominance and cold control. Neither is willing to back down, creating a tension-filled dynamic. Will Zahra's strength break through Rashid's hardened exterior, or will their clash of wills tear them apart?

I stormed towards him, anger blurring my sights. The moment I was in front of him, I grabbed hold of his collar with my both hands. As I yell, "Are you cheating on me, Shahzain?"
Seems like I took him by surprise, it took him a whole minute to realize what was happening right now. And the moment he did, he loosen my hold on him and pushed me, which had me stumbling back.
"Even if I do, it shouldn't matter. I was forced into this marriage, Sobia." He yells back. "I didn't have a choice. But you had. You shouldn't have agreed to this marriage."
Only if he knew, all my life it wasn't me who got to select the choice. Neither is this one, the most important one in my life.
"I won't tolerate this. Either you leave me or leave her." I stated, anger clouding my senses.
He walked towards me and took a hold of my chin in his hand and stated clearly. "And where's the fun in that? You ruined my life. I promised to ruin you till death do us a part."
I pushed him hard. I had already suffered much from my so-called family. And I refused to get suffered by my husband. It's all about the limit. The moment I had my limit of misery and pain, I will end all of this.
"Are you sure, it's not the other way around?" A humorless chuckle escapes my lips, as my darkest shade of eyes met his grey ones. "Also, just wanted to correct you, my dearest husband. You can't ruin what's already ruined, Shahzain."
"And if I find out that you kept meeting her behind my back. I will ruin you and that lover of yours." With that I stormed out of our room, making up my mind.
