Love in Silence She loved him from afar, her heart quietly holding onto a hope he didn't even know existed. Every glance, every word unspoken, carried the weight of feelings she never dared to share. He walked into her life like a storm-charming, unaware, and impossibly close-while she remained a shadow in the background, silently wishing for a moment that might never come. Between stolen glances, unspoken words, and nights filled with longing, she must decide: hold onto her silent love, or risk everything to finally be seen. A story of quiet hearts, hidden desires, and the courage it takes to let love find its voice... before it's too late.

Afrah Sule's life was never simple. Since her father passed away, she's carried a weight she never asked for, balancing grief, responsibility, and the fragile hope that life could still feel normal. But when a stranger's threat turns her world upside down, everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and trust begins to unravel. Muhammad - her childhood friend, someone she thought she understood, ends up in danger, and she can't ignore it. Every step she takes pulls her deeper into a web of secrets, lies, and an enemy she can't see but knows is watching. Meanwhile, Imam, the one she thought she lost forever, is still in the shadows, blocked from her life, praying from afar, and slowly realizing that distance is not protection. Musa, her protective elder brother, and Asmau, her best friend with a heart she didn't know was hiding storms of its own, get caught in the chaos, their loyalty, courage, and hearts tested in ways they never expected. In a world where trust can be deadly, hearts can be weaponized, and love doesn't always arrive when it's supposed to, Afrah must navigate threats, secrets, and her own feelings while discovering that sometimes, the one you think you've lost may be the one meant for you. A story of suspense, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers, family bonds, and faith, where every choice matters and every heartbeat could be the difference between life and loss.

"It was supposed to be a contract.... But contracts don't set hearts on fire." Nora Hadid's life has always been shadowed by one thing-her deep resentment toward her mother. No one knows the full story, and Nora isn't about to tell. All she knows is that the past has left scars she can't shake. Ayman comes from a world completely different from hers-wealth, rules, and traditions that have shaped him into someone who follows duty over desire. But behind the polished surface, he's trapped under the weight of family expectations he never wanted. When an unexpected twist of fate throws them together, a single contract and one signature bind them to each other in ways neither could have imagined. What starts as an arrangement quickly becomes a tangled web of unspoken truths, dangerous secrets, and emotions they can't explain. As they navigate a path filled with hidden motives, family drama, and a growing attraction they can't ignore, one question looms over them-will this forced alliance be the key to breaking free from the lives they never chose, or will it pull them even deeper into a mess they can't escape? In a world where trust is fragile and nothing is as it seems, Nora and Ayman are about to learn that sometimes, the answers we're searching for hide in the most unlikely places... and with the most unexpected people.

Dr. Arya Ibrahim is bold, brilliant, beautiful - and the fiercely protected youngest of her family. At 22, she steps into the prestigious Neurosurgery department of one of Abuja's biggest hospitals for her housemanship, determined to prove herself despite the shadows of loss and three overprotective brothers watching her every move. There, she meets Dr. Muhammad Armaan Saeed - the hospital's youngest medical director at just 29. Light-skinned, piercing brown eyes, intimidating silence... and a reputation as unforgiving as his perfection. He speaks only when necessary - sharp, cold, and sometimes painfully rude.

Especially not when Dr. Armaan's own cousin - charming, kind, and just as smitten - sets his heart on Arya too. Between family loyalties, hospital politics, and forbidden attraction, Arya is caught in a dangerous tension where every heartbeat becomes a choice. In a world of white coats, surgical steel, and guarded hearts - love might be the most complicated operation of all.
