THIS BOOK IS NOW A PREVIEW Asma'u believes in marriage the way she believes in oxygen - necessary, non-negotiable, and somehow always just out of reach. She comes by it honestly. Growing up watching her parents love each other with the kind of ease that looks effortless and never is, she decided early that she wanted exactly that. The same warmth, the same certainty, the same soft place to land. What she got instead was a series of men that can only be described as practice for patience. After enough disasters to fill a journal - and she has, unfortunately, filled one - Asma'u is starting to wonder if the problem is her. Then Yahya comes back. She remembers him as the neighbor's son who was nineteen when she was twelve - patient, steady, the kind of person who made the world feel safe just by being in it. When he appears at her parents' door years later and asks for her hand the same evening, it feels like an answer to every Dua she's ever made. She says yes before she finishes thinking. This is a story of love, desperation, and the quiet cost of marrying a memory.

NOW AVAILABLE IN PAPERBACK! This story follows the lives of two prestigious Northern families-one that earned its place, and one that can't afford to lose it. Salma Babajo-skillfully veiled, conflicted, and fiercely proud-has always idolized her father. But he lives by one rule: if you burn the midnight oil to secure something, you hold onto it by hook or by crook. Salma wears her last name like a badge, oblivious to the cracks beneath; until the secrets start to surface. Kabir Yabo is everything Salma is not-reserved, steady, and willing to bend to societal expectations. He tiptoes through life, careful not to step out of line. They have nothing in common... except for a fate neither of them sees coming. But what happens when the perfect son collides with the girl who plays by her own rules? And when what's expected threatens to overpower what's real? Will they fight to protect the illusion they were raised to uphold-or risk everything for a love that was never part of the plan?

Najma never wanted a complicated life. She certainly didn't want a marriage she wasn't prepared for, a husband she barely understood, or the confusing feelings that came with sharing her life with someone who always seemed one step ahead of her. Fuad was everything she wasn't: reserved, composed, and frustratingly difficult to read. Beneath his cold exterior, however, lay a man burdened by responsibilities, expectations, and emotions he refused to acknowledge. What begins as a marriage between two strangers slowly unfolds into something neither of them expected. Between family gatherings, misunderstandings, laughter, jealousy, and countless moments left unsaid, Najma and Fuad find themselves navigating a relationship that is anything but simple. But when feelings begin to grow and hearts begin to soften, one question remains: Can two people who struggle to understand themselves ever learn to understand each other? A story about family, faith, and a love that grows quietly in the spaces between words. With ❤️ 99percent ©️ Copyright 99percent 2026

They're inevitable.

Text copyright ©️ 2026. All Rights Reserved by hafsyxx ❦ SOMETHING LIKE FOREVER ❦ Book 1 of The Something Series From the very first day Hauwa Musa stepped into the palace, she gave herself rules to survive by. She would stay out of trouble, avoid the royals completely, and never allow herself become part of palace problems. But almost all those rules begin to break after she unexpectedly catches the attention of not one, but two princes. Hauwa Musa may look quiet and calm, but only Allah truly knows what she has endured long before she ever entered the palace walls. Yerima Malik is calm, disciplined, and feared for his controlled nature. A prince who never cared about the throne or the endless politics surrounding it until Hauwa's presence begins to unsettle him in ways he cannot explain, mostly because she reminds him too much of his late fiancée. Determined to keep her close, Yerima Malik publicly announces his intention to marry her, making the entire palace believe he has fallen in love with a maid. But the truth is far more complicated than that because, at first, he only wanted her near him because of the resemblance she shares with the woman he once loved. Somehow, in the middle of it all, Yerima Malik also begins showing interest in the throne he once rejected completely. Now Hauwa finds herself trapped in a dangerous palace world filled with jealousy, secrets, betrayals, hidden enemies, and power struggles far beyond her imagination. But what happens when long-buried secrets begin revealing themselves one after another? And what happens when Hauwa realizes the love she believed in may have started as nothing more than an act? Follow the journey of two people who are not even certain they were meant for Something Like Forever. ...Prince X Maid Highest Ranked: 🥉3 in #forbiddenlove on 14/05/26
