Sultanah Aliyu is sharp, fearless, and breathtakingly beautiful-a 19-year-old waitress trying to keep her family afloat. Her life is a constant struggle: a sick father, a troublesome mother, unpaid rent, and school fees for her two younger brothers. This job at a luxurious five-star restaurant is her lifeline, a chance to survive and provide for the people she loves. But one ordinary day turns everything upside down. In a fateful collision, Sultanah bumps into the restaurant's rare and mysterious visitor-Aziz Abubakar Goje, a 25-year-old business tycoon, owner of the empire she works under, and the very definition of arrogant, rude, and unforgiving. Orders spill, his expensive tailored suit is ruined, and a multi-million-dollar deal hangs by a thread. What starts as an apology quickly spirals into a battle of words as Sultanah refuses to bow, insulting him in return-a move that lights a fire of irritation and fury in Aziz. He promises to make her regret meeting him, but she laughs it off, unaware that his memory of their collision-and of her fearless gaze-won't let him rest. Days later, while Sultanah struggles with her crushing responsibilities, Aziz can't stop replaying their encounter, the defiance in her eyes haunting him more than he'd like to admit. Pride, anger, and stubbornness will clash as they navigate a battlefield of grudges, misunderstandings, and unspoken attraction. There is no love at first sight. Only hate... and the slow, inevitable pull that neither can ignore.

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.
