Idris, a successful tycoon, was a man of few words, but ensured his was always final. Comfortable in his seat at the head of the table, he intended to run his marriage the same way. Thus, began his search for a wife constrained under his contractual obligations.

Stifled by Idris' rules, Zoya is forced to live the same fate as her mother. She surrenders her dream and steps into a nightmare where cultural expectations coerce her to become the obedient bou her parents dreamed her to be.

That is until fate handed her a lifeline; a daughter. Zoya, both broken and revived, finds herself in a heartbreaking paradox from which a new dream is born. It is a dream protected by a mother's love. As her strength grows, she vows to fight for her daughter like no one fought for her.

Under Idris' watchful eye, she must execute the perfect escape. It is one final desperate mission to liberate herself from the cycle, but she must be willing to break a few rules.

Because if there's one thing she'll learn, it is that freedom cannot come by being obedient.
