Hooriyah was broken long before she ever truly lived. One night, everything was taken from her-her trust, her voice, her innocence. The world showed her that some things are never meant to be repaired, and love isn't meant for girls like her. She learned to live with silence, with shadows, and the weight of a memory that refuses to fade. But then there was Muhammad. Gentle, patient, and kind-he saw her in ways no one else did. Loved her with a tenderness that frightened her. But love isn't simple when the past is a ghost that never lets go. Especially when the man she's starting to trust is hiding something-something that could change everything. Buried Desires is a story of lingering pain, love that's too complicated to define, and the fragile hope of two broken souls caught between truth and deception-each one unsure if healing is even possible.

Anila is an introvert who finds solace in the soft rustle of pages and the gentle hum of nature.

She believes true love is something that belonged in dreams and fiction, a devotion no man of this generation could possibly match. Arman is the opposite in the eyes of the world-one of most respected architects, a man whose quiet demeanor and sharp presence make him both intimidating and untouchable. But with Anila, the armor falls away. Around her, he is no powerful figure-only a man hopelessly in love, willing to give her the kind of affection she thought only existed in history and dreams. They first crossed paths under the skies of Saudi Arabia, their meetings a strange dance of fate. On their last encounter, she gave him a riddle: "Find me in Nigeria, and my answer will be yes." he searches for her with nothing but her name and the weight of his dua.

In the world of high-stakes gold and ancient legacies, Ali Muhammad Maigari was a "Titan" born to rule, a man of Saharan serenity whose very existence was a shield for the empire he commanded. But his strength had a silent, structural flaw-an obsession with a past he tried to bury and a future he feared he couldn't protect. Zara Sadauki didn't choose to be the "fragile solace" in a billionaire's contract. She didn't choose a heart that fluttered with medical risk, nor did she choose to be the "axis" upon which Ali's complex world revolved. Yet, she became the only light capable of piercing his shadows. When that axis was removed, Ali's world was thrown into a literal, physical chaos-a descent into a darkness that even his gold couldn't illuminate. Being the heir to the Maigari name wasn't Ali's choice, nor was carrying the burden of secrets that nearly cost him his soul. Why was Zara forced to bear the brunt of the grudges held by his brother? Why did she have to endure the short end of the stick in a war of blood and betrayal? From the moment she stepped into his gilded cage, Zara knew the path would be hard-fought. But she wasn't willing to remain a "clinical project." She harbors the same fierce determination to survive that Ali uses to conquer. However, there is a saying: "The more fragile the heart, the stronger the love that anchors it." Love_Scientist😘♥️ (Sumy_US)
