In the heart of a distant desert, beneath storms of dust and rain, a man named Ben fights the weight of poverty, war, and loneliness. His days are spent selling firewood, his nights haunted by memories of a life that never loved him back — until Amelia appears one morning, golden-haired and soft-spoken, to buy a bundle of wood and unknowingly awaken a soul long asleep.
Their love begins as a spark in the storm — fragile, forbidden, and breathtakingly real. She is the daughter of wealth and education; he, a man born of hunger and loss. Yet between them blooms a tenderness that defies the world's cruel hierarchies. They marry in secret, build a life from nothing, and believe love can silence every voice raised against them.
But fate, and family, have other plans.
When Amelia's estranged mother returns to claim her daughter's inheritance — and her freedom — the lovers are torn between loyalty and survival. Their bond is tested by lies, pride, and a final heartbreak that will leave one holding a letter... and a single jasmine flower, the last memory of a love that refused to die.
