"Don't be too humble,don't be too rude. Just treat people accordingto their attitude". ZAFIRA ...In a cold dark room, she was standing for the past. Her eyes moved around the space until they finally rested on the unfamiliar, rough-looking faces who were staring at her coldly. She pressed her lips together and remained still and was not showing any emotion or saying a word.The silence in the room was heavy and the tension hung thick in the air. Despite the stares piercing into her, she didn't flinch. Her hands were clenched at her sides but she kept her posture firm and refused to show any sign of weakness. One of the men stepped forward as his eyes narrowed as he studied her but she met his gaze without wavering. Still, she said nothing, waiting for what would come next.The man took another step closer and his expression had a mixture of curiosity and annoyance as he said in a low threatening tone, "You think you are brave, don't you?"."I know what I am. You don't need to

"I'll break every rule, every law of nature, for a moment of your heart's surrender."AZRAEL ...Zafira stared at his handsome face as he continued to speak, "I want you to be my woman."Zafira blinked in surprise and her heart was pounding at the unexpected declaration. His attraction to her was undeniable, and the weight of his words hung heavy in the air."Do you say this to every girl in the first meeting?", She said, chuckled softly as she was trying to cover up her uneasiness.Azrael did not say a word but continued to look at her. "Why would you want me? And why should I become your woman when you must have dozens of women by your side?", Zafira asked as she had a mixture of confusion and intrigue that swirled within her.Zafira was enchanted by him and she was drawn to his charisma and the way he commanded the room. Yet, the weight of his identity crushed her tiny hope before it could bloom. She knew who he was. The one who held power and secrets that could ruin her. Ea

"Zafira Wilder, 30 years old. Divorcee. Cause of divorce- infertility, but the real reason was your ex-husband's infidelity", Azrael murmured softly and his words sliced through her like a knife. Her heart dropped at the mention of her past and the pain she tried so hard to bury now dragged to the surface.Her eyes turned red with unshed tears as the realization hit her. She glanced behind Azrael and found that only one member was there in the room, and his back was facing them.The man standing so close to her had already pried into her life, had uncovered every secret, every piece of her broken history. He wasn't just controlling the present- he was deciding her future as well.Zafira quickly looked away and her breath caught in her throat as she fought to hide the sudden wave of vulnerability that threatened to overwhelm her. She could feel the weight of his gaze on her, the way he reveled in her discomfort. Weakness- a feeling she despised, clawed at her insides.But Azrael wasn

"Zafira, my Crimson", Azrael whispered and his voice was filled with intensity. Staring at her, he felt a fierce possessiveness rising in his chest and an overwhelming desire to claim her as his own.As he traced her jawline with his thumb, thoughts of power and danger faded away and left only his need to protect her. In that moment, all that mattered was Zafira- the woman who had unknowingly awakened a new kind of obsession in him. He realized he would do anything to keep her by his side.Zafira stirred slightly and her brows were furrowing as if sensing Azrael's presence. Her eyes fluttered open and for a moment, she was disoriented and was unsure of where she was. The soft glow of the room illuminated Azrael's intense gaze fixed on her and a rush of warmth flooded her cheeks."What are you doing here?", she asked and her voice was hoarse with sleep.Azrael remained silent while his eyes were searching hers as if trying to uncover the secrets within.He couldn't help but feel t

"My love for you is a beautiful insanity, a fire that burns through the darkest nights."AZRAEL ...Azrael stepped forward as he stood protective yet proud beside Zafira, "Yes, this is Zafira. The eldest daughter-in-law of the family". Leaving everyone stunned and speechless. Zafira felt her heart race at his words, surprised by the weight they carried. She looked at Azrael, seeing the seriousness in his eyes.But she didn't want to seem weak, so she raised her voice and asked, "What are you talking about? What is the eldest daughter-in-law?"The people around her found her tone amusing. Azrael stared at her and the room went quiet for a moment. His brothers looked at each other were surprised and excited while Vesper, their father, looked at Zafira with understanding.One of Azrael's brothers said, "Sister-in-law! You are awesome! Only you can raise your voice on him and even shoot daggers" The others cheered and clapped while looking at Zafira, ignoring Azrael's gaze."Welcom
