*Bound by Fate* *by Fateemarh Anka* She's quiet, focused, and full of grace. He's distant, disciplined, and doesn't entertain distractions. *Fateema* never believed in love stories - especially not on campus. *Farooq* never imagined getting drawn to anyone - until their paths crossed. In the middle of lectures, stares, jealousy, and whispered feelings, a slow-burning story unfolds... Between class status, silent rivalry, and hearts that speak through glances, will fate bring them together - or pull them apart? A soft, halal, and emotional Hausa-English love story set in Abuja. *#BoundByFate* - because some hearts are written for each other.

When Fardous agrees to an arranged marriage with Amir, her sister's former fiancé , she doesn't expect peace, let alone affection. What begins as a quiet act of duty quickly turns into an uneasy coexistence between two strangers bound by circumstance, pride, and unspoken pain. He's composed, reserved, and unreadable. She's gentle, stubborn, and still finding her footing in a marriage that was never meant for her. Between the silences, fleeting glances, and accidental touches, something fragile begins to form something neither of them planned for nor fully understands. But in a world where expectations are heavy and emotions are dangerous, love isn't a fairytale it's a slow unraveling. And sometimes, the hardest part isn't learning to love someone new, it's allowing yourself to be loved at all. "He said he'd respect her boundaries. She didn't realize how much that promise would cost them both." I guess you'd just have to read and see. THIS BOOK IS FOR MATURE AUDIENCE ONLY.
