In the city of Kaduna and Zaria, where tradition holds power and family names carry weight, Amina Usman Suleiman dreams of freedom. A final year sociology student at ABU Zaria and the beloved daughter of a prominent Northern family, Amina has always known her life is not entirely her own. But she's in love with Yasir Ibrahim, a rebellious guy with a sharp tongue, dangerous habits, and a heart that beats only for her. Their love is fire passionate, toxic, addictive From their school days at Essence International to stolen weekends and whispered promises, they've lived in a world where love dares to challenge legacy Until Amina's father arranges her marriage to Khalid Aminu Bello the cold, mysterious heir to a powerful business dynasty. Khalid isn't interested in love either. He has wounds of his own. But duty demands obedience, and families like theirs don't ask they decide. What begins as a polite arrangement slowly begins to shift. In shared silences, small kindnesses, and late night confessions, Amina and Khalid find themselves entangled in something unexpected. Now, caught between a love that refuses to die and a marriage she never asked for, Amina must choose: The boy who holds her heart. Or the man who might help her rewrite her story. Set against the rich cultural tapestry of Northern Nigeria, A Marriage of Names is a sweeping tale of love, duty, and the cost of choosing yourself in a world built on expectations.

Arwa Mas'ud and Muhammad Hisham Maleek are opposites in every way-she's a young, idealistic student with a love for novels and a passion for change; he's a wealthy businessman with a hidden life as a detective. _____________________ Arwa knew she shouldn't have challenged him. But when she stood up against Hisham-the cold, arrogant detective with too much power and too much pride-she never imagined the price she would pay. A single argument, a moment of defiance, and suddenly, she's trapped in a forced marriage with a man who would rather punish her than love her. Hisham never let anyone get the better of him. Yet Arwa had humiliated him in front of an audience, and he wasn't the type to forgive. Marrying her was supposed to be a lesson-a way to remind her who truly held the power. But what happens when the lesson backfires? When the girl who was meant to break refuses to bend? When the man who swore he wouldn't care starts to? And when enemies lurking in the shadows realize that the easiest way to destroy Hisham... is through the wife he never wanted? Some battles are fought with weapons. Others with words. This one? It's war. Read to find out.

Surrayya doesn't do complications. Life is sweet when you keep things simple- bake, paint, watch F1, and avoid emotional entanglements. Feelings? Too messy. Love? Too risky. She'd rather stick to what she can control: her dreams, her business, and her ever-growing collection of car facts no one asks for. Hafiz likes life structured. Numbers make sense. Investments have predictable outcomes. He has always believed that with enough discipline, life can be controlled. But lately, he's starting to realize- some things aren't meant to follow a formula, proving that even the best-laid plans can crash and burn. Their paths weren't supposed to cross. And yet, somehow, they crashed into each other-in the most unexpected place. She's all spontaneity; he's all logic. She runs from feelings; he's learning to confront them. Neither of them is looking for love, but love? It might just be looking for them. Because sometimes, the best things in life happen when you're not paying attention.

Tears are a sacred link between the heart and soul. They are not the omen of weakness, but a sign of power. They speak more eloquently than thousands of tongues and speak in lengths, no other language can reach. They speak beyond the true boundaries of love and hate, for, these two are such strong words that they can melt hearts but at the same time, can initiate storms and hurricanes of destruction. ~.~.~.~ Her tears narrated stories, her lips were afraid to speak of. She begged for justice and she begged for freedom from the pain she was enduring. But lamentably, life failed at giving her all that. Could only death grant her all that she begged for?
