Zulaiha Abdallah is a final-year medical student at Nile University, Abuja, living with a past the world refuses to let go. She once loved the wrong man-an abusive relationship kept hidden from everyone. One night, while trying to protect herself, he died. The court ruled it self-defence, but society passed its own judgement. Cleared by law, yet condemned by people, Zulaiha is forced to live with labels such as "A woman who lost her virginity before marriage" whispers, and the stigma of not fitting into society's idea of a "pure" woman. During a visit home for Eid in Kano, her life takes another turn when she is pushed into an arranged marriage meant to settle debts and repair damaged reputations-not to bring love or healing. Her soon-to-be husband, Umar Al Muqtadir, is a respected and successful man with a past as dark as hers. Years ago, an affair led to a child he never got to raise, his lover commited sucide, and a promise he made to never forget her and to find his child. Two broken souls. One forced marriage. Secrets buried deep. As the truth about the past begins to surface- What happens when Umar finds out his child was killed by his girlfriend- about death, guilt, and a child lost "Who was this girlfriend?" -Zulaiha must face the question that has followed her all her life: Is this marriage her punishment... or her only chance at survival?

Copyright 2026 ©️ All Rights Reserved. Ruqayya Anna Balarabe is a name Nigeria knows by heart. An award-winning actress, a constant face on billboards and screens, admired, envied and wrapped in controversy. Justice Arabi Dikko lives by order, restraint, and rules. Sharp-tongued, calculating, and untouchable in the courtroom, his name alone commands respect. He is everything discipline demands-and everything scandal despises. When a case that was never meant to reach his desk lands before him, Arabi expects routine. What he doesn't expect is her. The nation's most controversial star. The woman who represents everything he stands against. The verdict should have been the end. Instead, it becomes the beginning. Because some encounters don't fade with a gavel strike. 
Some stories don't end in court. 
And some feelings feel dangerously... like love. By Ferdeausee_.

neither of them were supposed to fall. but one accidental encounter was all it took to crack the calm, and marked out the world khalid had built for himself. zainab was meant to be a fleeting distraction; loud where he was quiet, reckless where he was deliberate, a walking contradiction to every rule his precise-and-tradition-bound-life obeyed. the thing about fire? once it kisses your skin, control becomes nothing but smoke.

"And We have made some of you a trial for others. Will you ˹not then˺ be patient?" The first time I read this ayah in Surah Furqaan, I had no idea it defined my future so clearly. ********** Hafiz Hakimi;- A 26-year-old Nigerian-American who grew up believing those who worshipped something they couldn't see were crazy motherfuckers. But it wasn't like he would go out of his way to tell them his opinion. His life was perfect, a routine of work, party, fuck, sleep, and repeat. His only source of annoyance was the woman whose vagina he popped out of, but even she was very far away from him. Life was good, everything was great. Until one fateful trip to Nigeria, his home country, set off a tornado that wrecked his mundane to pieces. Aliya Suleiman;- A 22-year-old hafiza whose only goal was to finish studying medicine, the devil's course. She only planned to get married after making her first million dollars, a feat her best friend Jasra said was impossible. She wasn't offended of course, because she never planned to get married. And if she did, it would be to someone more pious than her, mature and respectful; indulging. But then the one person she couldn't say no to begged her with tears in her eyes to marry her son. She was the woman who raised her and provided for her mother and her. There was no way she could refuse. It was the worst thing to have ever happened to both of them. A sudden downpour on an otherwise clear sunny day. He wasn't anywhere near the kind of man she imagined herself with. She was the woman raised by the person he hated the most. It was basically a recipe for disaster. She saw him as a way to repay a favour. He wanted to use her to get revenge. And as such, the stage was set and the curtains lifted. ___ ⚠️⚠️⚠️: UPDATES ON MONDAYS AND THURSDAYS ___ 🚨 This is entirely a work of fiction.

Love Bouquet is a gentle story about love that arrives unexpectedly, one moment, one decision, one flower at a time. Zaynahra never planned to fall in love. Carefree, outspoken, and content with her quiet independence, marriage was never on her list of urgencies, until a misunderstanding turns her life in a direction she never imagined. Bound by a three-month agreement with a man she barely knows, she steps into a space between certainty and curiosity, fear and faith. Khairan is calm where she is loud, deliberate where she is impulsive. What begins as convenience slowly becomes companionship, and what feels temporary starts to take root in ways neither of them anticipated. Through family expectations, private doubts, tender gestures, and unspoken prayers. This is not a story of perfect romance. It is a story of becoming. Of trust. Of tawakkul. Of learning that love is not found all at once, but carefully placed in the heart, one flower at a time.
