Copyright ©️ 2025. All Rights Reserved. Safeena Magaji never dreamed of more. A steady job to support her family and keep her daughter smiling - that was enough. She knew better than to hope for anything beyond survival. Working at the Garo Mansion drained her with every passing day. Serving a matriarch obsessed with appearances, answering to a boss who despised her, and working alongside people who barely tolerated her. She lived by two simple rules: 
Keep her head down. Stay invisible. Then he returned. 
Abdulhafeez Habeeb Garo - the prodigal son, the new MD of Garo Enterprises.
The man who made the air shift the moment he walked into a room. From the very first glance, Safeena set her third rule in stone - stay far, far away from him. But keeping her distance? That proved impossible. 
His eyes followed her when they shouldn't.
His words hit harder than they should. 
And when he made her an offer she couldn't refuse... 
Safeena's carefully guarded life began to unravel - marked by the shadows and silent imprints of the one man she'd sworn to avoid. By Ferdeausee_

Copyright © 2024. All Rights Reserved. It wasn't how she could never seem to pronounce his name, "Qasim," correctly, always calling him "Kasim" since she was young. Nor was it her innocence, which seemed to follow her everywhere, highlighted by her delicate Fulani features that could be recognized from miles away. It was her, entirely. Her very existence was the axis upon which Amir Qasim's life revolved. But when that axis was removed, his world was thrown into chaos. Being born the eldest child of the Sultan wasn't his choice, nor was becoming the next Sultan, burdened with immense responsibilities. Yet he accepted it, carrying those duties he so deeply resented. Becoming the next Sultan's wife wasn't her choice either, nor was becoming the eldest Princess of the Kubi Caliphate. So why was she forced to bear the brunt of the grudge he harbored within? Why did she have to endure the short end of the stick? From the moment she stepped into the world of royalty, she knew the path would be hard-fought. But she wasn't willing to lose. Why should she? She harbors the same hatred towards him. However, there is a saying, "The more you hate, the more you love." By Ferdeausee.

THE FIRSTS SERIES BOOK 1 They taught her that silence was strength. That obedience was worship. . Asmau never asked for a love story. Growing up between cultures, between heartbreak and healing, she learned early that silence is survival-and trust is dangerous. Now, years later, she's told this is God's will. To marry. To surrender. To begin again. But how do you give your soul to someone when pieces of it were stolen long ago? And then there's Marwan. A man who doesn't chase, doesn't press, doesn't pretend. A man whose presence feels like stillness after a storm. Quiet. Watching. Knowing. A man with eyes that see too much and hands that never reach for what isn't his. In a world where shame speaks louder than truth, Asmau must decide: Will she live quietly to please them? Or finally choose her own voice? This is a story about quiet faith. About healing, not all at once-but in the hush between prayers. About choosing yourself... even when your voice shakes. A tender story about girlhood, grief, and the quiet rebellion of choosing yourself.

"I'm so sorry," she said, but there was no fear in her voice. "I wasn't looking where I was going." I clenched my jaw. "You should have been." To my surprise, she didn't back down. "Well, maybe you should watch where you're going, too. It's not like I did this on purpose." I stopped, stunned. "Do you have any idea who you're speaking to?" Her eyes didn't flinch. "Yes, I do. And I don't care. I'm not going to stand here while you blame me." I was taken aback. Most people would've cowered, but she didn't. "Next time, be more careful," I said, colder now. "I will," she replied, "And maybe don't judge so quickly." ***** Zahra is a kind, fierce, and hardworking woman who is deeply dedicated to her religion.
