Ammar’s Confession – A Love That Never Left
Ammar knew he shouldn’t be here.
But it was like something had taken over him, something stronger than pride, stronger than reason.
So when Tara opened the door, he didn’t wait.
He stepped inside, closing the door behind him.
She crossed her arms. "Ammar—"
“I still love you.”
The words slipped out before he could stop them.
Tara’s breath hitched, but she didn’t move, didn’t react the way he expected.
Instead, she let out a shaky breath. "Don’t do this."
"Why not?" His voice was rough. "It’s the truth."
She turned away. "The truth doesn’t change anything."
Ammar took a step closer. “It changes everything.”
She laughed, but there was no humor in it. “Ammar, we both knew why it ended. You couldn’t be there, and I… I didn’t want to be someone waiting for something that would never come.”
He clenched his jaw. "You think I didn’t want to be there?"
"I think you weren’t." Her voice was quiet, but the weight of it hit him like a punch.
Ammar ran a hand through his hair. "I thought… if I worked hard enough, if I built something stable, we’d have our future."
Tara finally turned to face him, her expression unreadable. "But by the time you looked up, I was already gone."
Silence.
And in that silence, everything they never said sat between them, heavy and unrelenting.
Ammar swallowed. “I never stopped loving you.”
Tara’s fingers curled at her sides, as if bracing herself. “Don’t say that.”
“Why?” He took another step. “Because it’s true? Because you still feel it too?”
Her throat bobbed.
But she didn’t deny it.

Haider Sees the Truth – A Love That Was Never Over
Haider wasn’t supposed to be here.
But fate had a cruel way of making people witness things they shouldn’t.
And as he walked past Tara’s apartment, he saw them through the window—
Ammar standing too close.
Tara not stepping away.
They weren’t just two people talking.
They were gravity.
Two forces pulled together no matter how hard they tried to resist.
Haider clenched his fists, his chest tightening.
He had liked Tara.
Maybe, in another world, she could have liked him too.
But in this world?
She had never been his to begin with.
And Ammar…
He was the only man she had ever belonged to.
With a deep breath, Haider turned away.
Some battles weren’t meant to be fought.
And this?
This was a war he had already lost.

Maya’s Last Play – A Love She Refuses to Lose
Maya wasn’t stupid.
She had seen the signs.
Ammar’s coldness. His distractions. The way his eyes always found Tara in a crowded room.
And tonight?
She knew something had shifted.
So she made the call.
“She’s with him,” she murmured. “And if you don’t act fast, you’re going to lose.”
The voice on the other end was silent for a moment. Then—
“I’ll handle it.”
Maya smirked.
Tara might have thought she had won.
But this game?
It wasn’t over yet.

Ammar & Tara – The Line Blurs Again
Ammar’s fingers ghosted over Tara’s wrist, his touch barely there.
“Tara,” he whispered.
She squeezed her eyes shut. “Don’t.”
But neither of them moved.
Because this moment?
This was dangerous.
Being this close. Breathing the same air. Feeling the pull between them like a current too strong to fight.
“Tara,” he said again, softer this time.
Her breath trembled.
“I should hate you,” she murmured.
He exhaled a quiet laugh. “Then why don’t you?”
She didn’t answer.
Because they both knew the truth.
No matter how much time had passed—
No matter how much they tried to fight it—
They were never over.
And maybe… they never would be.
