Halima Aliyu's style is pretty simple: Live life to the fullest and be successful while at it. She deems her life pretty simple; she's not looking for a husband, her salon is going along nicely and she can eat sharwarma anytime she wants. That is the goal! But, what is peace of mind for a woman who's mother-in-law is the bane in her existence? Dealing with her and her many directives is enough to turn our girl's hair grey. What then happens when she meets two little angels who matchmake her with their daddy, and her mother-in-law's directives can't be followed. Is her rose colored life about to turn grey?

She has been in love with him for as long as she can remember. She was madly head over heels for him. When she was bound to him, things don't go as she expected. Trust gets broken... Lies and deceit.... Twists and distortions. She tried everything. She trusted everyone. But good things don't come easy.

She could feel the pain slowly overcoming her soul. The agony, the grief, taking over all that she once thought was alive in her. She felt so empty that she was sure her whole body will echo if someone was to shake her. But she stood, rigid as though a hundred years old tree, clinging onto the only thing that made her alive; her eyeglasses. Through those glasses, she had seen things she had wished she could erase. She had hated the things she once loved, places she once cherished and the man she grew up to love. It didn't matter who he was to her, his role in her life or even the title he possessed. She was going to take revenge, she was going to make him regret, she was going to make her father cry right before her eyes! But what if he chose to add more pain to her aching wounds? The day he declared her married to a gateman, the strings left attaching her with him were forcefully cut off. And she was certain even if it would take her till eternity, so long as she stayed married to the gateman, her father would never know what happiness felt like!

"Why?" she whispered. "WHY?!!! ABUBAKAR WHY?!!!" she screamed. Her voice sounded inhumane. I flinched and watched as she broke down crying again. "Look at the pain you are causing her" my father's voice uttered behind me. I couldn't look away from the sight of my mother crying. "Who would have thought my very own flesh and blood would be so callous. You disgust me Abubukar." He said brushing past me to comfort my mother. The room was suddenly filled with a bright light and I watched as they walked towards the light. My father turned to me. "May Allah have mercy on your soul" ********************** Parties, women and drugs were a usual for Abubakar 'Abba' Abdullahi. He lived without a care in the world and he wasn't about to change it for the world. Or so he thought. A reckless decision one rainy night leads him on a new journey of self discovery. But will it be enough to save him? ****** Book 2 of The Loving Khalifa Series. It can be read as a standalone.

A few minutes into the walk, I heard footsteps shuffling behind me. I tensed up and halted in my tracks. My heart began to pound violently in my chest. I felt too afraid to even do anything. I stayed glued to my spot, but that didn't stop the footsteps from approaching. Mustering all of the courage left in me, I spun around and to my utmost horror, two men - more like thugs were standing just few inches away from me. Ya Allah, please protect me! I don't want to die like this. I spun back around and started walking, my pace increasing rapidly. "Hey! Where the f*** do you think you're going, bit**" One of the men slurred. By the tone of his voice, I could tell he was tipsy or high. The rate of my fear intensified. MANAL ❤ ©2019
