Their marriage was built on family ties, not love or at least, that's what he believed.
To him, it was a responsibility. To her, it was everything.
She entered the marriage with a heart full of hope, believing that one day, he might return her love. But Zayan Malik had long buried his ability to feel, to connect especially with someone who looked at him with such quiet devotion.
Seeing that hope in her eyes, he pulled away not out of cruelty, but to protect her from the hollowness inside him. What he didn't realize was that his silence, his absence, his indifference... would shatter her heart more deeply than any harsh word ever could.
And when he left without a goodbye, she thought the pain had reached its peak.
Until she discovered she was carrying his child.
