In a bustling modern city, Zain lives a life far removed from luxury. Every day, he wakes up before dawn, walking and jogging a 30 km journey just to reach the home of Hana, the youngest daughter of the wealthiest and most powerful family in the region. Zain works as her driver and personal assistant, taking her to work, running errands, and accompanying her wherever she goes, never complaining despite the struggles in his life.

His routine is mundane, yet filled with dedication. After each workday, he showers and changes clothes in the car porch of Hana’s mansion, waiting for her to finish preparing herself. He often finds himself admiring her beauty and perfect life, but in silence, his heart feels empty. There is something deeper he feels for her, but Zain can only keep this secret within himself. He knows that in a world of privilege, he is just a simple man who doesn’t deserve to express such feelings.

Hana, on the other hand, seems to live in a perfect world. Beautiful, wealthy, and free, she has everything that others long for. Yet, behind the sweet smile and the shiny life, Hana feels an emptiness deep inside. The pressures of her family’s expectations have never allowed her to truly breathe. In moments of solitude, her thoughts wander to Zain—the man who’s always there, quietly handling her daily life without expecting anything in return. But like Zain, Hana also fears expressing her feelings. She feels unworthy, worried that acknowledging her emotions might ruin the professional relationship they’ve carefully built.

However, the tension between them continues to grow. Every interaction is charged with unspoken emotions—Zain holding back his longing, and Hana trying to forget the feelings that are becoming impossible to ignore. Every light touch, every gaze that lingers, every moment shared creates bittersweet memories that both soothe and hurt. They both know that the love between them exists, but their worlds are too different for it to flourish.

The biggest challenge comes when Hana’s father introduces another man—a perfect suitor, according to the family’s standards. This man is wealthy, successful, and has everything society expects. When Zain hears the news, his heart shatters. He feels powerless and pushed aside, only able to watch from a distance, even though his heart cries out because he knows that the love he hopes for may never be returned.

Yet, when Hana finds herself trapped between her family's wishes and the growing love she feels for Zain, she faces a tough choice. Should she follow her heart and chase the love she desires, risking everything, including her family’s approval and status? Or should she submit to the life her family has chosen for her?

Just Fate

That night, the stars hung low above the mansion as silence settled into every room.

Elena lay curled on the couch, a warm throw wrapped around her, her head tilted slightly toward the dim TV light playing a soft drama in the background. She wasn't really watching — her thoughts were tangled with one person only: Zain.

In the guest room upstairs, Zain sat quietly, scrolling through his phone. His heart was still dancing from the evening's warmth — the laughter, the food, the acceptance. He looked out the window and smiled faintly.

He never imagined things would turn out like this.But somehow, Elena had become the center of his world.

Sunlight poured through the windows.

Zain, ever the early riser, was already dressed. He had a white shirt loosely tucked into his joggers, sleeves rolled up to his elbows. He headed to the kitchen to prepare a light breakfast — eggs, toast, and some fruit.

He moved silently, almost gracefully.

Elena walked in, still in her sleepwear, hair messy, eyes barely open. She paused when she saw him.

"You're always in the kitchen, aren't you?" she teased.

Zain turned and smirked, "And you're always looking beautiful even when half-asleep."

She chuckled softly, walking up to him and leaning her head against his shoulder.

"Thank you for coming back last night," she whispered.

Zain wrapped an arm around her. "Anywhere you are… I'll always come back."

They ate together, laughing over little things.

Until Elena's phone vibrated on the table.

She picked it up casually — but froze the moment she saw the name on the screen.

Zain noticed her sudden stillness. "Everything okay?"

Elena slowly answered the call. A male voice came through. Calm. Cold.

"Who is this?" she asked, her voice trembling.

"It doesn't matter. But Zain… doesn't belong to you."

She stood up instantly, her chair scraping the floor.

"Ask him about the name… Rashid Rahman. He'll know."

Zain stood as well, concern painted across his face.

She turned to him slowly. Her lips trembled. "The caller… he told me to ask you about someone named Rashid Rahman."

His expression shifted — just for a second — from calm to something unreadable.

Then… he smiled faintly, but the warmth was gone.

Elena's breath caught in her throat.
