They were forced to marry for power.
But neither expected to fall in love—or nearly die because of it.

Amira Khoury never wanted to belong to a dynasty. She signed the marriage contract to protect her father's crumbling empire—never realizing she was trading her freedom for a cage made of secrets.

Zayn Malik never believed in love. For him, marriage was a tactical move—an arrangement inked in blood to pay off old debts and secure his family's legacy. Cold, calculated, untouchable—that was the only way he knew how to survive.

Until her.

What begins as a war of wills quickly turns into something neither of them can control. But just as walls start to fall, the betrayals begin. A locked door. A forged signature. A photograph never meant to be found. And when a gun appears in her drawer and a bullet nearly ends Zayn's life, Amira realizes the truth: their marriage was only the beginning.

This isn't a love story.
It's a battle for trust, redemption—and survival.

In a world where loyalty is currency and legacies are written in blood, Amira and Zayn must choose: let the past destroy them, or fight for a future neither of them thought they deserved.
