Fate of the Eyes By Nafisa Abubakar Sadiq In the quiet village of Karaye, Fatima Musa is known for two things, her brilliance... and her strange, unforgettable eyes. But beauty is not always a blessing. To the villagers, her light brown gaze is a curse. A sign of bad luck. A reason to whisper behind her back, point fingers, and call her names she never deserves. And in a home where love should feel safe, Fatima faces a different kind of pain, one that comes from the people closest to her. All Fatima wants is a future. A chance to study. A chance to escape the small life that is slowly suffocating her dreams. But just when she thinks her life is finally moving forward, everything begins to fall apart. A scholarship opportunity. A marriage proposal. A jealous village. A love she never expected. And a decision that could change her entire destiny. Fatima is trapped between the life she wants and the life others are forcing on her. And in a world where secrets hide behind smiles, one truth is waiting patiently to explode... and when it does, nothing will ever be the same again. Because Fate is watching.

Alanna did everything in her power to gain her parents' approval: wore the right clothes, dated the right men, attended the right parties, and made enough money to get them through the doors of high society that had long been out of their reach. Instead of a thank you for all she had done, she was blamed for reacting the wrong way to finding out her husband had been cheating on her with her younger sister-and her family wanted her to accept it because it was "true love." When Alanna decided she was done vying for her parents' approval and started feeling isolated, an old classmate came to her with an offer she couldn't refuse: marry him and join one of the most powerful families in town. The catch? Intimacy was off the table. Any plans for future children would be done through surrogacy or artificial insemination. Deciding this was the only way to regain her dignity, she agreed. But her growing attraction to her new husband made the no-intimacy rule all the more unwelcome.

Description: Detective Alex Reid is trained to read between the lines-but what happens when her life becomes one long, tangled lie? At work, she's hunting a sadistic killer whose victims are piling up fast-each body left in the rain, carved with symbols no one can decode. At home, chaos reigns: her 13-year-old daughter is pregnant, her teen son is spiraling into addiction, and her ex-husband is nothing more than a voicemail that never gets returned. She's holding a badge in one hand and her sanity in the other-barely. Then comes the man in the storm-dark-eyed, enigmatic, impossibly seductive. The kind of man who should come with a warning label... or a body count..There's an immediate pull, a desire so fierce it breaks her rules. He disappears before she can ask his name. And somehow, Alex keeps letting him back in. Into her house. Into her bed. Into the case? As the bodies stack higher and the storm outside grows more violent, so does the one inside her. She doesn't know who to trust-including herself. Why does the killer feel so close? Why do the clues keep pointing to the man she can't stop touching? And what happens when the line between hunter and prey disappears completely? Alex keeps digging. And sleeping with the suspect. She tells herself it's control, strategy. But how many more people have to die before she stops confusing pleasure for protection? Can she uncover the truth before her family collapses entirely? Or will her need-for escape, for touch, for him-drag her into a grave she didn't see coming? How many lies can she tell herself before one of them becomes her own obituary? Some storms kiss. Others kill. And some... do both.

Seven friends, One New Year's Eve. Seven secrets that should have stayed buried. Every year, the group celebrates New Year's together. This time is no different-or so they think. To make the night more interesting, they play a game. Each of them writes down their deepest, darkest secret on a slip of paper and drops it into a bowl. One by one, the secrets are read aloud, followed by awkward laughter, nervous glances, and silent promises to never bring them up again. By morning, someone is dead. At exactly 11:11 PM, each of the phone in the group receives the same anonymous countdown- 59:59; just one hour before someone has to die. No sender. No explanation. Just a timer. When it reaches zero, another person dies. The killer never leaves behind a weapon. Instead, they leave a personal belonging-a chilling clue tied to the victim... or to one of the seven. As the bodies pile up, friendships begin to fracture, relationships crumble, and every secret threatens to destroy the people who buried it. The police believe it's a serial killer. The survivors know better. Because the killer is one of them. In a town where the past never stays buried, the countdown has already begun. The only question left is... Whose timer runs out next?

Some people enter our lives with loud confessions and endless conversations. Others become a part of our lives through nothing more than silent glances. Our story began with glances . No loud confessions. No grand love story. Just stolen looks, shared jokes, playful sarcasm, and a silent understanding that grew with every passing day. We never knew that the person we secretly noticed every day would become the one our hearts would quietly long for. Born from real emotions but carried by fiction. Some moments are inspired by memories, while the story, its mysteries, and its characters belong entirely to imagination.
