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.

They say the people who hurt you the most are never your enemies. They are always the ones you love the deepest. His name was Mustapha. And for a long time, that name was my whole world. To everyone else, he was just a man. But to me? He was my best friend, my safe place, my greatest adventure, and my wildest dream all wrapped into one person. We were the kind of couple people envied. Black love in its purest, happiest form- loud laughter, inside jokes, nights that turned into mornings, and a promise that we would never, ever be apart. I loved him with everything I had. I trusted him with my heart, my secrets, my soul. I handed him every piece of me, thinking he would keep them safe. And for a while... he did. We laughed until our ribs hurt. We loved like we had all the time in the world. We built a life that felt like a fairytale. But fairytales are just stories, aren't they? And stories always have twists. Somewhere between the "I love you's" and the "forevers"... everything changed. I didn't lose him to death. I didn't lose him to distance. I lost him to a lie. I lost him to a secret he kept hidden right under my nose. I lost him to the cruelest thing love can ever teach you: That the person who vows to protect you... is often the one who ends up destroying you. Mustapha didn't break my heart with a shout. He broke it with silence. He broke it by looking me in the eye and lying. He broke it by becoming a stranger while he was still standing right next to me. This is not just a story about heartbreak. This is a story about the fun we had before the pain. About the love that felt like heaven... until it turned into hell. About the betrayal that almost destroyed me. And most importantly... This is the story of how I learned to SMILE... Even when my soul was screaming. Welcome to my world. Welcome to Smiling Through The Betrayal.

"A marriage neither of them chose. A chemistry they can't ignore. And a fate neither of them can escape." "You're avoiding me." Yusra froze, fingers tightening around the silk scarf. She didn't turn. "I'm not." Fahad scoffed. "You barely look at me. You barely speak to me." "Maybe there's nothing to say." He stepped closer, his voice low. "You've been acting like I don't exist since the conveyance. If you have a problem, say it." Yusra turned, chin lifted. "Why would I? It's not like you care." His jaw tightened. "You think I don't?" "You don't act like it." Silence. Heavy, charged. Then, before she could move, his fingers brushed hers-a fleeting touch, but enough to send a jolt of heat through her. She inhaled sharply. "You think I don't care? Since when?" His voice was rough, edged with something dangerous. He leaned in, forcing her to look up. "Then tell me why you're shaking." She wasn't. At least, she didn't think she was. But now, with his touch lingering, she wasn't so sure. Fahad's gaze flickered to her parted lips before he pulled back, his restraint like a thread about to snap. "You don't want me to care, Yusra," he murmured. "Because if I do, neither of us will be able to stop what happens next." And just like that, he walked away-leaving her breathless, rattled, and desperate to understand why she suddenly wanted him to turn back.

Amal never meant to fall for the wrong brother. She never meant for heartbreak to push her into the arms of the only man who truly saw her - the only man who understood the pieces of her everyone else overlooked. Aarif wasn't supposed to look at her that way. Not when she once belonged to his brother. Not when loving her meant tearing his family apart. But he looked anyway. He fell anyway. He loved her anyway. And now he's willing to risk everything - family, reputation, pride - for the girl the world believes is perfect... the girl only he knows is quietly breaking. In a world where loyalty is tested, secrets refuse to stay buried, and love comes with consequences, Amal must decide whether healing means walking away from the past... or risking everything for a future she never saw coming. Because sometimes the greatest betrayal... is falling in love with the one person you were never meant to choose.
