But somewhere between Hassani designing dream properties in Greene Gardens, a groundbreaking new village, and Ayla holding down the life they built, the blueprint for their marriage has started to crack.
Late nights at the office. Unspoken words. A distance neither of them can ignore. When yet another argument pushes Ayla to her breaking point, she realizes she’s spent so much time supporting Hassani’s vision that she’s lost sight of her own.
Determined not to let their love collapse, Hassani makes a bold move, one that forces them to finally face everything they’ve been avoiding. As they confront their deepest fears and rediscover what first drew them together, a spontaneous getaway pushes them out of their comfort zones, breaking down walls, laying new foundations, and reigniting the passion that once came so easily.
But just as they begin to imagine a future stronger than ever, Ayla reveals a truth she’s been too afraid to voice… one that threatens to shake the very foundation of their marriage. Now, Hassani must prove he’s not just willing to fight for their love—he’s ready to build something even better.
But when love has been weathered by time, distance, and doubt… can it ever be rebuilt to last forever?
