“Seriously? Tasks?” Emily asked in disbelief as they settled around a table in the university cafeteria the next day.

“Right. They want me to perform three tasks that prove to them that I am worthy of their sister.” Liam said, rolling his eyes.

“What childish nonsense is that? I didn't know we were in the Middle Ages, testing knights for the right to court a lady,” Emily said, shaking her head in disbelief..

“You never know, we might ask him to slay a dragon next.” Zahir leaned forward, a glint of mischief in his eyes.

“Oh, forgive me, Your Highness. I didn't realise your sister needed a knight in shining armour,” Emily retorted, raising an eyebrow.

“Don't be absurd. She just needs someone who can survive a culinary challenge.” Zahir chuckled.

“Ah, the infamous trial by culinary fire. A feast fit for royalty, I assume?” Emily quipped.

“Exactly. If he can impress us with a gourmet meal, he might just survive our sibling scrutiny.” Zahir said graciously.

“Or die trying,” Emily added

    The kitchen buzzed with the promise of culinary chaos as Zahir and Zian, self-appointed judges, took their seats, ready for the amusement that awaited. Zada, was equally entertained and bemused as she observed the unfolding spectacle.She prayed everything would go well. She now knows that her brothers already accepted Liam as her partner, but they are doing this just for the sake of it and because Zahir with his big ego couldn’t just simply say yes to the relationship between his beloved sister and his best friend.Liam, wore an apron that humorously declared him the "Master Chef of Chaos.” Zada chuckled seeing him with the apron and the chef cap. Him in the kitchen reminded her of their second date. He had taken her to his home when his family had gone out of a function. And he cooked for her that day.And once the casserole went into the oven, he had taken her to the living room couch and slowly things heated up and they had ended up making out on the couch.And then the first emb

    “So, what’s the last task?” Liam asked in exasperation.“Be patient, potential brother in law..” Zahir said dryly.“Potential? Are you serious, Zahir? There is no ‘potential’ in this context. I am your future brother in law. No matter what..” Liam said in annoyance.“How you handle the third task would answer that, Frederick..” Zahir said with a scoff.“Listen, I am doing this simply to entertain you two. There is really no need from this. Even Mirrie feels the same way, don’t you Mirrie?” Amar asked looking at Zada and she nodded her head, agreeing with Amar.“Ewww.. Stop calling her with that name. It sounds so weird.” Zahir said, making a face at Liam calling their sister with a pet name. Amar rolled his eyes, realising whatever he is going to do, Zahir would come up with some or the other complaints.Zian chuckled, simply watching the scene unfold in front of him.“Zi - Zi, Zi - Zi,” Emma ran towards them and pulled the chair next to Zian and sat on it, breathlessly.“What do you

    “God! He is so possessive..” Zahir chuckled, watching his brother running behind Emma who is all set to climb on the pillion of a motorcycle with some random Ethan.“Look, who is talking?” Zada said, rolling her eyes and Zahir made a face at that.“I don’t have a love interest to get possessive about, little Zada.” Zahir said, ruffling her hair, earning a glare in return.“You are possessive in all your relationships, Zahir. Momma, me, Zian or anybody. I shudder imagining Emily’s condition in the future..” Zada said teasingly and Zahir glared at her.“Emily? What does Emily have got to do with this?” Emil, who was silent until now, asked in confusion.Zada bit her tongue and cursed herself for blurting out her thoughts, without noticing Emily’s beloved brother sitting next to them.“Uh Emily..” Zada chuckled nervously.“Don’t mind her, Emil. She is just crazy. She reads all sorts of nonsense romance and has somehow come to a conclusion that I and Emily would eventually fall in love. A

    The wind whistled through the air as Zian and Emma sped away on Zian's motorcycle. The purring of the engine and the sensation of the road beneath them added to the thrill of the ride. Emma, her excitement palpable, clung to Zian, her arms wrapped around him.Zian, however, maintained a facade of sternness."I hope you are aware I am still mad at you," he said over the roar of the engine.“Is that so? Then you should have just let me go with Ethan. He wasn’t mad at me and he would have enjoyed the ride with me.” Emma laughed, the sound blending with the wind. "Oh, come on, Zian! Lighten up! We're on an adventure!"The corners of Zian's lips twitched, betraying his efforts to stay serious. Emma sensed the crack in his stoic demeanour and squeezed him tighter. She placed her head on his shoulder, enjoying the exhilarating ride.As they journeyed through scenic landscapes, Zian finally decided to let go of the lingering anger. "Alright, alright. I guess you've suffered enough. No more s

    "Looks like your hair wants to stay with me a little longer." Zian chuckled. "Even I want to." Emma said with a pout.As she attempted to disentangle her hair, Zian gently held her face, his fingers softly grazing her cheek. Their eyes locked, and in that intimate moment, the air seemed to crackle with an unspoken connection.Neither of them knew who moved first, the next moment, they were kissing like there was no tomorrow…Their lips met in a tender embrace, igniting a spark that seemed to electrify the air around them. Time stood still as they melted into the sweetness of the kiss, each moment filled with a rush of emotions they had long kept hidden.Emma's heart fluttered with joy as she felt Zian's warm touch, his gentle caress sending shivers down her spine. In that fleeting moment, everything else faded away, leaving only the warmth of their shared affection.But just as quickly as it began, Zian pulled away, his expression clouded with guilt. "I... I am sorry, Emma," he stam

    “Emily!!” Zahir uttered her name loudly, as though saying that name to himself.But, much to his bad luck, his brother had walked in at the same time and heard him utter that name.Zian smirked and shot a teasing look at Zahir."Did you just call out for Emily, my darling brother?" Zian teased, unable to resist poking fun at his twin."What? No! Absolutely not! I think you just imagined that," Zahir protested, his cheeks now resembling ripe tomatoes.“OMG! Look at you, all blushing..” Zian teased and in a swift move, Zahir tackled his brother on to the bed.Zian laughed as he ducked the pillow thrown at him, his grin widening at the sight of Zahir's reddening cheeks. “Shut up!” Zahir bellowed embarrassedly.Zian raised an eyebrow, amusement dancing in his eyes. "Oh, please! You can't hide anything from me, Zahir," he said, his voice filled with mock innocence."Shut up! It's not what you think," he muttered, avoiding his brother's gaze. Zahir scowled, his embarrassment turning into

    Zian was impatiently waiting for Emma in the cafeteria. After dropping her at her apartment last evening, he had tried to call her a hundred times, but she didn’t attend any of those phone calls.“Hey, Zi.” Zada greeted as she took a seat across from him. Liam sat next to her.Zian frowned and looked at the cafeteria door to see if Emma was coming.“What happened?” Zada asked curiously.“Where is Emma?” Zian asked desperately.“She went home this morning. Didn’t you know? I thought you know..” Zada said.“Damn!” Zian cursed under his breath.“Uh oh! You two had some fight yesterday, didn’t you? That’s why she went home. I didn’t connect the dots. I did ask her why she was going home during a weekday. She just said some excuse and hurried out.” Zada explained.“Why did you both fight?” Liam asked and Zian looked away.How was he supposed to tell them what was the reason for the fight?“Zada, I am going to Greenwich. Will come back tonight hopefully.” Zian said and hurried out of the ca

    “No means no. You refused to kiss me. I don’t want to talk to you anymore..” Emma said hotly. Daniel and Gianna looked at their daughter in horror.“Damn!!” Zian mumbled under his breath..“EMMA!!!” Gianna shrieked and Emma bit her tongue as she realised she had just blurted out something she should never say in front of her parents.“Uh Gianna, what she meant is that we were playing a truth or dare game. I was dared to kiss Emma on her cheeks. But I didn’t want to do it in everyone’s presence. So, I refused. And someone taunted her saying that I don’t really love her and that’s why I didn’t kiss her. And Emma got hurt hearing that. That’s why she got angry with me. It is nothing serious. We can talk it out quickly. Just give us some time..” Zian lied through his teeth, not wanting Emma to face her mother’s wrath.Gianna calmed down a bit but Zian saw Daniel still had his eyes narrowed on him.Damn!“Yeah! We were playing truth of dare, Momma. Do you remember that one time we played a

    Though Zian and Emma were recently married, they had fallen into a comfortable rhythm together, their lives woven in a way that complemented each other. Zian now led the Ahmed family’s business side with his characteristic calm and precision, steering it toward expansion with a confident hand. Meanwhile, Emma had tried her hand at a few things, but as Zian often teased, she had the attention span of a toddler. Her parents, relieved that she’d at least completed her education, had stopped expecting her to settle into any traditional career.Knowing her gifts lay elsewhere, Zian suggested she join the Ahmeds’ charity organisation. Rather than dealing with finances or administrative work, he assigned her something more hands-on. Three days a week, Emma visited palliative care homes and orphanages, spending her time cheering up the residents with her infectious charm and boundless stories. Zian knew she could lift anyone’s spirits with her words, and she eagerly embraced the chance to

    One month later, the sun was beginning to set, casting a warm, golden glow over the campus as the group gathered on the sprawling lawn. The last month had been an unforgettable journey, filled with laughter, embarrassment, bonding, and countless challenges. But tonight, they had all agreed, was for celebration—a proper farewell to the antics that had drawn them all closer.Liam, of course, had been the master of ceremonies for this whole ordeal, and he looked especially smug as he watched Zahir and Zian reluctantly serve drinks, their expressions caught somewhere between exasperation and amusement.“You know, I think I am going to miss this,” Liam said, taking a glass from Zahir and winking. “Seeing you two bow down to me—it’s been... enlightening.”“Trust me,” Zahir shot back with a grin, “you have enjoyed this way more than anybody did. But don’t get too used to it, Liam. As soon as today ends, we are going back to normal.”“Oh, really?” Liam laughed, leaning back in his chair. “I d

    “I am not a bloody playboy…” Zahir screamed at the end of his wits, leaving everyone in the room other than Zian, Zada and Izzy shocked by his declaration.“What???” It was Liam’s voice that rang out more loudly. Zada gave him an elbow jab asking him to shut up.“Listen, Emily. I am not a playboy. I have never been one. The only girl in my life is you. When I was five, it was only you. And now when I am twenty, it is only you.” Zahir said, looking earnestly into Emily’s eyes.She looked at him suspiciously.“Stop lying.” Emil said coldly.“He is not lying, Emil.” It was Izzy who spoke. “What?”“He is not a playboy. He is plain stupid. He has this dumb belief that if he has this playboy image, it would make him more popular. He is only dumb, not a playboy.” Izzy said and Zahir glared at her.“What? I am only telling the truth. Who would do such stupidities like you do?” Izzy asked with a shrug.“What makes you so sure?” Emil challenged and Izzy smiled.“Remember the truth or dare game

    Silence filled Emily’s room as she lay curled up in Zahir’s arms, savouring the warmth and closeness between them. They had finally let their walls down and the silence that hung between them now felt intimate, peaceful."If you say that this doesn't mean a thing..." Zahir trailed off, his voice a low, warning murmur as he brushed a hand through her hair, his eyes locked onto hers.Emily laughed softly, resting her head on his chest. "You are mine, Emily Langston," he whispered possessively."And you are mine, Zahir Ahmed," She whispered back, equally possessive.Zahir smirked, a glint of satisfaction in his eyes. He loved how she was never intimidated by him, always ready to challenge him, push back, stand toe-to-toe. They lay there for a moment, wrapped up in each other, enjoying a rare, unguarded moment. But suddenly, the sound of the front door opening and footsteps approaching the living room startled them out of their reverie.Emily quickly pulled the blanket up, her eyes wide

    The months seemed to fly by, drawing Zada and Liam, Zian and Emma, and Izzy and Emil closer together. Each of their love stories blossomed, surrounded by the easy warmth and laughter of new romance and friendship. But for Zahir and Emily, it was a different story. Their undeniable attraction was as strong as ever, but neither would admit to the feelings simmering beneath. Yet, every chance they got, they would find themselves in each other's arms, their moments of intimacy full of tension and passion. And each time, they would pull away, murmuring the same words: ‘It doesn’t mean anything.’One evening, they were at the apartment the girls share after a gettogether. The others had left in couples, for some ‘couple time’, leaving Emily and Zahir alone. The air was thick with an unspoken tension, an electric charge that always seemed to grow whenever they were alone."Are you seriously going to that party with that guy?" Zahir asked abruptly, his voice laced with irritation. Emily shot

    “By the way, Mr Ahmed, what shampoo and conditioner do you use?” Madison asked, looking admiringly at Zayed’s slightly long hair.“MOM!” Liam exclaimed in shock. He turned to his mom with pleading eyes.“What? I just wanted to know..” Madison said innocently. “Please keep a control on your tongue, mom. Don’t scare them away on the very first day.” Liam whispered to his mother in a pleading tone, earning a glare in return.“LIAM FREDRICK! How could you say that to your Momma? The momma who carried you inside her womb for nine months? The momma who changed your dirty diapers when you were a kid? The momma who kissed your boo boo’s away?” Madison asked, hands on her hips. She was fired up.Liam closed his eyes in disbelief. They were supposed to impress the Ahmeds. Not scare them off.Zayed and Salim exchanged a glance.“How the hell did we land here? Now there would be nothing stopping Cami and Ava. This woman seems just like them. They are going to get on like a house on fire.” Salim

    The air was buzzing with anticipation as Liam paced the living room, stealing quick glances toward the front windows. The Ahmed family would be arriving soon, and he could already feel his nerves bubbling up. Outside, Madison Fredrick was bustling around the backyard, setting up for the barbecue. With her usual over-the-top excitement, she darted from one setup station to another, adjusting tables and setting out colourful plates.Madison, practically glowing with enthusiasm, called out, “Liam! Have you checked if the Ahmeds have landed yet? Oh, this is so exciting! Imagine having all of them over here!”“Yes, Mom, they landed just a bit ago. Zada, Zahir, and Zian went to pick them up and they have a stop by to freshen up after the long journey.” Liam chuckled at his mom’s energy. “Perfect!” Madison clapped her hands, her gaze already scanning the backyard. “We have the best setup!
