When Zoro Screamed My Heart

Zukhanyi has lived a life carved in shadows, her hands stained by a fire she never meant to light. Naledi carries scars she never asked for, protecting a secret that changed her forever. When their paths cross in a quiet village outside Durban, what begins as survival becomes something far deeper — love, built in silence, cemented in truth. Together, they create Embers & Ash, a charcoal business built with strategy, sacrifice, and secrecy. But as they rise, the world begins to notice — and so do those who want to see them fall. Haunted by their pasts, hunted by corrupt officials, and bound by a love that refuses to break, Zukhanyi and Naledi must decide: keep hiding, or burn everything down to protect what they’ve built. In a world where truth is dangerous and love is rebellion, silence may be the only weapon left.

“They told her love would come after Nikah. They never told her it might not come at all.” Amarisa Lamiya Al-Rawhani said yes to a man she barely knew — not out of love, but out of submission to faith, family, and fate.

But love doesn’t die quietly. Amelie, the woman Kadir once promised to return to, never left. She stayed. She’s waiting.

But in a world where hearts ache, people wait, and Qadr decides everything… Can love still bloom between two strangers — when another heart refuses to let go? A deeply emotional halal love triangle exploring faith, obedience, temptation, and the complicated journey of hearts written for one another… and hearts that weren’t.
