"Let me make this clear from the very beginning-" But she interrupted. Lifting her veil slowly, She faced him. Her tone was calm, but her soul trembled behind her words. "I don't have any expectations from this bond," she said steadily. "You've given me your name-that's enough. You'll always be my sister's husband. I'm not here to demand a place in your life. I know exactly where I stand." He watched her, caught off guard by her sudden fire yet nodded. "Good. That saves us both the trouble. And Stick to that.

"But... you said you didn't hate me. So, can't we start fresh?" He laughed again, a bitter sound. "Aliya Emdad, are you naive, or just pretending to be? Let me make it clear-I don't hate you. In fact, I feel nothing for you. So, don't expect anything from me." And just like that, the hope I'd clung to dissolved, leaving an aching emptiness behind. "Then why did you marry me?" My voice trembled, raw with anger and sorrow. "You could have said no..." He sighed, his tone indifferent. "You were the best option at the time."
