Tamed, Trained And Trouble

"What did you say?" Zayir's voice was calm. Too calm.
She swallowed hard. "I only—"
Arès chuckled. "Your wife is getting clever."
But Zayir wasn't amused. He only watched her, his silence thick with warning. Tonight, when they were alone, she would learn. He would discipline her.

In a world of endless desert and unforgiving traditions, a golden-haired troublemaker arrives—laughing, meddling, unbothered. Arès lives to provoke, and his half-brother, Zayir, is his favorite target.
Arès was laughter, mischief, and chaos wrapped in gold. Zayir was control, silence, and unwavering discipline.
Arès came for one reason—to tease his brother, and the wife his brother now ruled. But he found more than amusement. He found a stubborn wife who dared to rebel, a husband who believed in discipline, and a marriage built on obedience and retribution.
Arès played. Zayir punished. And his wife pushed—only for Zayir to tighten his grip. Under the desert moon, defiance had only one outcome.
