Chapter 1: The Unforeseen Twist

                                    

                                          

The luxurious hotel in Swat, nestled among lush green valleys and towering mountains, was buzzing with life as guests celebrated various occasions. The Hasan family's luxurious hotel symbolized magnificence, with its elegant architecture, crystal chandeliers, and beautiful views of the breathtaking landscape. 
The air was filled with laughter and music, but behind one of the many fancy doors, a different story was unfolding.
Today is Zara Hasan's 22nd birthday. She was genuinely excited about that. Her family has never celebrated her birthday. 
But this year, her best friend Ahmed told her that he would throw her a birthday party at midnight, invite all her school friends, and celebrate her birthday in her parent's hotel. He also told her he had taken permission from her parents. 
Despite her parents' strictness and their insistence that she cut ties with her school friends, Ahmed had always remained by her side. 
Ahmed's father's friendship with Zara's father granted him certain privileges. Despite all his claims, the only true thing was that he had taken permission from her parents to take that room, but her parents had no idea he would take their daughter there. He had used that trust to bring her here under false hope.
Ahmed blindfolded her and led her into the room, Zara's excitement quickly turned to confusion and fear as the blindfold was removed. She was shocked to find the room empty, devoid of any friends or decorations. Turning to Ahmed with an unsure look, she saw a disturbing change in his eyes—pure lust replacing the friendly affection she once knew.
"Ahmed, what is happening?" Zara's voice trembled with uncertainty. Ahmed locked the door and moved closer, his intentions clear. "Come on, Zara, it's your birthday. We should be celebrating."
Zara's heart raced with fear and uncertainty. "Ahmed, please, don't do this," she whispered, her voice trembling.
Ahmed's eyes narrowed, and a sinister smile crossed his face. "I've waited long enough, Zara. You're mine tonight."
Panic surged through her as Ahmed grabbed her wrists, pulling her towards him and plastering kisses all over her face. She struggled against his grip, her mind reeling from the betrayal. "No, Ahmed, stop! Please!" she cried out, her voice echoing in the room.
Despite her desperate pleas and attempts to push him away, Ahmed's grip tightened. Zara shouted and cried for help, praying to Allah for protection. The friend she had trusted the most had become her worst nightmare, and she was trapped in a room with no way out.
In the adjacent suite, Ibrahim Khan, a powerful mafia boss in Pakistan, was reviewing some business documents. His piercing green eyes flickered towards the wall as he heard someone screaming. His protective instincts kicked in, and he decided to investigate. 
The room's door was locked, and Ibrahim kicked it open, revealing a scene that made his blood boil.
Without a second thought, Ibrahim stormed into the room, his towering figure casting a shadow over Ahmed. "Let her go, now," he commanded, his voice cold and authoritative.
Ahmed froze, his grip on Zara loosening. "Who the hell are you?" he spat, trying to muster bravery.
"I said, let her go," Ibrahim repeated, his voice low and menacing.
Ahmed's boldness crumbled under Ibrahim's intense gaze. He released Zara, who stumbled back, tears streaming down her face. Ibrahim wasted no time and landed a powerful punch on Ahmed's jaw, sending him crashing to the floor.

Hearing the commotion, several guests complained to the hotel staff. The manager was about to investigate when Sheikh Hasan and his wife Zeenat Hasan arrived. "Where are you hurrying off to?" Sheikh Hasan asked.
