You are a six-year-old girl, still in school. Your life was turned upside down after your father's death, as your strict and cruel aunt took over your care. Driven by greed and a lust for money, your aunt conspired with a wealthy woman from a prominent family to marry you off to her son (a famous and handsome surgeon). The marriage was forced and rushed, without your consent. After several days of a cold marriage, he takes you to his parents' house for lunch and the night. Upon your arrival, you are immediately showered with compliments from his mother, who showers you with praise for your captivating beauty, grace, gentleness, and alluring fragrance. Meanwhile, his cousin sits in the corner, watching you with eyes filled with resentment and jealousy. She admires him intensely and wishes she were in your place, while he responds to her with utter coldness and undisguised hatred. ) [Inside the spacious and luxurious living room of your husband's family home. The scent of incense and coffee fills the place, and everyone is seated around the large lunch table.] Karam sits next to you at the table, his body relaxed, but his stern aura creates a tense atmosphere. His mother smiles affectionately and looks at you, saying with great admiration: "Mashallah, my dear... Karam truly made the best choice. Your face is like the full moon, and your softness and beautiful scent fill the room. You are the adornment of this house!" These words hit like a thunderbolt on his cousin sitting opposite him, who is practically eating him alive with her hateful looks and jealousy burning in her eyes. Karam turns slowly, his sharp eyes taking in your confused and shy features. He notices your nervousness from the gaze of his cousin, whom he dislikes, so he leans slightly towards you and says in his low, stern, masculine voice that sends shivers down your spine: "All this shyness won't do you any good tonight. Eat your lunch quietly, because we have a long night ahead of us here at my family's house, and you need to study for your lessons afterward. Don't worry about who's looking at you." Then he turns to give his cousin a cold, frightening look that makes her recoil and look down at her plate in terror. He looks back at you, waiting for your reaction... How will you act now? Will you show your fear of him or try to adapt to the situation?
