Zulaiha Abdallah is a final-year medical student at Nile University, Abuja, living with a past the world refuses to let go. She once loved the wrong man-an abusive relationship kept hidden from everyone. One night, while trying to protect herself, he died. The court ruled it self-defence, but society passed its own judgement. Cleared by law, yet condemned by people, Zulaiha is forced to live with labels such as "A woman who lost her virginity before marriage" whispers, and the stigma of not fitting into society's idea of a "pure" woman. During a visit home for Eid in Kano, her life takes another turn when she is pushed into an arranged marriage meant to settle debts and repair damaged reputations-not to bring love or healing. Her soon-to-be husband, Umar Al Muqtadir, is a respected and successful man with a past as dark as hers. Years ago, an affair led to a child he never got to raise, his lover commited sucide, and a promise he made to never forget her and to find his child. Two broken souls. One forced marriage. Secrets buried deep. As the truth about the past begins to surface- What happens when Umar finds out his child was killed by his girlfriend- about death, guilt, and a child lost "Who was this girlfriend?" -Zulaiha must face the question that has followed her all her life: Is this marriage her punishment... or her only chance at survival?

he was forced into an arranged marriage by his family. 8 months into the marriage, there was not a single word spoken between husband and wife. no love. no fight. just pure silence. but what happens when silence slowly starts feelings...different? Small note: hey, i'm writing about my own arranged marriage. i don't really know how to write it in a third-person view or in a polished way, so i'm just writing it exactly the way i remember it.... casual, a bit messy, like a personal diary. since i'm from nepal, there might be a few minor mistakes in some hindi phrases or in my english as well.

🌸 Saanvika Tripathi Saanvika Tripathi arrived in Mumbai with a suitcase full of books and a heart full of boundaries. A first-year MBA student from Bhopal, she carries her traditions quietly, like something sacred. Calm, disciplined, and academically sharp, she believes love is meant to be respected-not experimented with. Her large, deep brown eyes, lined gently with kajal, reveal more than her silence ever will. They hold hesitation, restraint, and a softness she refuses to let anyone see fully. A tiny black bindi rests above them, grounding her in who she is.There's innocence there, but also strength-the kind built from values and fear of disappointing those she loves. She doesn't run from him because she's weak. She runs because she might fall. ☀️ Shivay Khurana Shivay Khurana walks across campus like he belongs there-because he does. A second-year tech student and the chairman's son, he balances legacy with humility. Brilliant in academics and effortlessly skilled with a guitar, he is calm, composed, and observant. His deep brown eyes are steady and unreadable at first glance-sharp enough to analyze, warm enough to reassure. But when they follow her, there's something new in them-curiosity mixed with quiet determination. He isn't loud about his feelings. He doesn't need to be. For the first time in his controlled, structured world, someone makes him want to be patient-not powerful. And he intends to earn her trust, not demand it.

The one person he thought he'd never have to face again. Now, trapped in weeks of close coordination, forced meetings, and glittering Delhi wedding chaos, Arjun and Radhika must pretend they are strangers - professionals - unaffected by a past neither of them ever truly buried.

Because sometimes the hardest part of love isn't falling for someone. It's facing the person you were when you first did.

🎥 Trailer 🎥 Between Two Worlds Written by Lily O'the Valley The screen fades from black to Quetta's sunset, a young woman gazing out of a window. Narrator: "Home-it's where your roots are, where your heart learns to beat. But sometimes, life pulls you away, forcing you to find yourself in a world you don't yet know." Quick cuts show Hanah Malik laughing with her sisters, then the family at the airport-teary goodbyes. Sultan Malik: "Hanah, no matter where you go, stay true to who you are. Your family is your foundation." Hanah (softly, almost a whisper): "I left behind everything I knew-my family, my city, my life. But how do I find myself here without losing who I am?" Hanah and Zobi laughing together, forming an unexpected bond. Zayd leans against his car, his eyes cold, his group watching in silence. Zayd (low, icy): "People can talk about danger, but without wisdom, it's nothing but noise." Hanah, half-serious, half-frustrated, turns to Zobi. Hanah: "Is he cold and sharp with you guys too, or just me?" Zayd's dark eyes glint as he meets Hanah's gaze through the rearview mirror. Zayd (smirking): "It's just a collaboration, flower. You ain't gonna be my group's member." Hanah (voiceover): "He's arrogant, distant, and impossible to read. Everything about him tells me to stay away. So why can't I?" A heated exchange between Zayd and Hanah, emotions sharp. Hanah stands under a streetlight in the snow, looking back at Zayd, their gazes locking-tension, curiosity, and something unspoken. Narrator: "Between Two Worlds"-a story of love, loss, and the spaces where light meets shadow. "Coming Soon to Wattpad."
