Usman Shagari was the kind of man who turned heads without trying,handsome, wealthy, and born into one of the country's most powerful families. But beneath the tailored suits and calculated charm was a man carved from ice distant, unreadable, and deliberately cold to the world. Only a few ever saw the warmth he reserved for those he truly trusted. Once, long ago, love had cracked his armor and nearly destroyed him. Since then, he'd built walls too high for anyone to climb, swearing never to fall again. Dating was off the table. Emotions were a liability. He would know the one when she came, he told himself but until then, nothing and no one would get close. Love wasn't just unimportant it was dangerous. Especially when every smile aimed at him came with an agenda: some drawn by his family name, others by his staggering wealth. And then there were those who followed him online, obsessed with the version of him he curated clean, perfect, untouchable. What they didn't know was that Usman Shagari wasn't just protecting his heart. Na'ima Abubakar lived a life that barely made a ripple at least on the surface. A quiet 300-level student of Nutrition and Dietetics, she came from a modest, middle-class family, the kind that stayed out of trouble and avoided attention. The third of five children Sa'ada, Salim, Zakiya, and Yusuf,Na'ima sat right in the middle, always in the background. But the middle child often sees what others miss. She blended into crowds, kept her head down, followed the rules. No one would have suspected that the girl with the shy smile and quiet eyes was about to be pulled into a storm that would shatter everything she thought she knew about herself, about love, and about the powerful man who would soon enter her world. Stay tuned!🌹

She was never meant to be his. But destiny doesn't ask for permission. Meet Fatima Zahra, 22 years old. A radiant soul-loving, beautiful, full of life. An extrovert with a warm heart, she wears joy like a second skin. But behind her laughter lies a quiet strength and a deep sense of responsibility. Then there's Umar-33, calm and composed. Gentle by nature, yet strikingly handsome in a way that makes silence feel louder around him. An introvert, thoughtful and kind, carrying the weight of loss with quiet grace. Umar was her cousin. Her brother-in-law. Her sister Haneefa's husband. That was-until tragedy took Haneefa away, leaving behind their two-month-old twins, Anam and Anim-and a void too large to fill. When Fatima is forced into marrying Umar to help raise her sister's children, her world begins to unravel. The man she once looked up to like an older brother becomes her husband. And with that, everything changes. She didn't choose this life. But maybe... fate did. How do you love someone you were never meant to love? How do you find peace when guilt holds your heart hostage? And what if... love dares to grow where pain once lived? In a story where duty blurs with destiny, and heartbreak dances with hope, Fatima must navigate grief, forbidden emotions, and the quiet pull of Qadr-the divine will she never saw coming. Fatima never dreamed of a life like this. But sometimes, the hardest stories... are the ones written by destiny. And sometimes, the person you're not supposed to love -is the only one who can make your broken heart beat again. Now the questions remain... Can you choose love when it feels like betrayal? Can your heart bloom in the shadow of another woman's memory-especially when that woman was your sister? Is this sacrifice? Or is it fate-disguised as pain? Will she ever truly love him? Will he ever see her as his wife, not just the mother of his children? Well.. There's only one way to find out.

In politics, image is everything. Behind every picture-perfect smile, someone always bleeds. "The world will see your ring... but only I will see the leash attached to it." Layla married for freedom. He married for power. Their union was never about love, it was performance. A show for the cameras, a fantasy for the nation. But in this world, scripts don't last. Desire festers, deception deepens, trust and loyalty are measured by how many skeletons you can bury, and secrets rise - the kind powerful enough to destroy nations. In political affairs, no one is ever what they seem. The same person who kisses you for the cameras... might be the one to pull the trigger in the dark. This is the price of power - gaining it, keeping it, surviving it. Another irony of this life? You go from wanting freedom to falling into the arms of someone who wants to own your being. "Every one of my yeses will be your yes... my no will be yours too." This isn't a marriage. It's a battle wrapped with luxury!!!

When her world shatters, a stranger becomes her greatest test-and her fate.
