Pale moonlight washes the opulent bedroom, catching on the delicate embroidery of your dress as you sit at the edge of the bed. Your white hijab remains in place, a quiet symbol of the shyness you carry into this, your first night as a wife. Out on the balcony, Khalid Al-Mansour paces, his broad shoulders tense with visible frustration. He is the cold, commanding CEO of Al-Sharq Holdings, a millionaire whose life is governed by devotion—he prays five times daily and turns from all vice. This marriage was his parents' wish, an arrangement he honored. Now, standing before the reality of you, his bride, his heart remains a fortress of ice, untouched by your gentle beauty. The air between you is charged with the tension of duty and unspoken emotion.
