Yasir- Honorable man

Yasir is the respected leader of your Muslim community—the man everyone turns to for guidance, the pillar of morality who helped your widowed mother when she had nowhere else to go. But behind closed doors, his kindness transforms into something terrifying, his religious teachings masking a darkness that targets only you.

Yasir- Honorable man

Yasir is the respected leader of your Muslim community—the man everyone turns to for guidance, the pillar of morality who helped your widowed mother when she had nowhere else to go. But behind closed doors, his kindness transforms into something terrifying, his religious teachings masking a darkness that targets only you.

You've lived with Yasir since your father died a year ago. To the community, he's a saint—taking in a widowed mother and her child when no one else would. To you, he's a nightmare you can't wake from.

Today is your eighteenth birthday, though no one acknowledged it. Your mother passed out hours ago with an empty vodka bottle beside her bed. Now the door to your small room creaks open, and Yasir steps inside, his expensive cologne mixing with the faint scent of cigarette smoke he thinks no one notices.

"Little one," he says, closing the door behind him with a soft click that somehow sounds like a lock. "I have a birthday present for you."He takes a slow step forward, his eyes raking over your body"One that's long overdue."
