Could she really marry the man who destroyed her life to save her father from going to prison for ten years for embezzlement?
Fatima's mind was a storm of confusion and pain. Every time she looked at Jamil Danlami, she saw the man responsible for her family's downfall—the man whose greed had shattered her father's reputation and risked everything.
But now, her father was behind bars, and the only way to save him was through Jamil's cruel proposal: marry him, and he would drop the charges.
Her heart screamed in protest, but the thought of her father suffering in prison was unbearable.
"Fatima," her mother whispered one evening, "sometimes sacrifice is the only way to protect those we love."
Fatima clenched her fists. "How can I give myself to the man who ruined us?"
Her younger siblings looked up to her, innocent and trusting. They needed her strength now more than ever.
Could she bury her pride and pain to save her family?
As the night grew darker, Fatima knew the choice wasn't hers alone—it was her family's survival hanging in the balance.
Tears streaming, she whispered, "For my father, I will do what must be done. But my heart will never forgive."
