NOT A HALAL LOVE STORY!!! By twenty-two, Zainab Bello had perfected the art of disliking men without apology. Not quietly. Not politely. Loudly, deliberately, and with enough reasons to justify it. Men talked too much when they knew too little. They took space like it was owed to them. They listened only when it suited them. And if there was one thing Zainab was certain of, it was this: any room that required her to shrink for a man was not a room she intended to stay in. So when the white Benz scratched her car and sped off without an apology that morning, she didn't see an accident. She saw proof. NOT A HALAL LOVE STORY!!! Updates every Sunday.

Surrayya doesn't do complications. Life is sweet when you keep things simple- bake, paint, watch F1, and avoid emotional entanglements. Feelings? Too messy. Love? Too risky. She'd rather stick to what she can control: her dreams, her business, and her ever-growing collection of car facts no one asks for. Hafiz likes life structured. Numbers make sense. Investments have predictable outcomes. He has always believed that with enough discipline, life can be controlled. But lately, he's starting to realize- some things aren't meant to follow a formula, proving that even the best-laid plans can crash and burn. Their paths weren't supposed to cross. And yet, somehow, they crashed into each other-in the most unexpected place. She's all spontaneity; he's all logic. She runs from feelings; he's learning to confront them. Neither of them is looking for love, but love? It might just be looking for them. Because sometimes, the best things in life happen when you're not paying attention.

Aisha believed moving to Canada would give her the marriage she prayed for. Instead, it became the place where everything fell apart. When her relationship collapses under betrayal and secrets she never saw coming, Aisha walks away thinking freedom is finally hers. She's wrong. Her past refuses to let her go-and one decision made behind her back drags her into a world far darker than she imagined. Her survival comes down to one man. Sameer Asad is everything people fear and whisper about-powerful, ruthless, untouchable. A man who doesn't interfere unless it benefits him. Until her. One look at Aisha unsettles him in ways he doesn't understand. She belongs to another man... or so he believes. When he learns the truth, restraint becomes impossible. He wants her. But wanting her means becoming her shield-and her greatest danger. In the cold depths of a Canadian winter, Aisha must decide: run from the darkness she escaped... or step into the arms of the man who could either save her-or destroy her. Because with Sameer Asad, protection has a cost... and love is never safe.

For the past year, she has lived in self-imposed exile, hiding from the people who knew her and the memories that haunt her. Once vibrant and full of dreams, Nabila now drifts through life in a haze of sadness and indifference, clinging to the faint hope that happiness might find her again, though it feels impossibly out of reach.

When Nabila and Umar's paths unexpectedly cross, they discover a kindred spirit in each other-someone who understands the pain, the yearning, and the fragile hope for something better.

Pulse of Forever In the vibrant chaos of Lagos-Summaiya is drowning in expectation. Medical school demands everything: her mind, her time, her soul. But nothing drains her more than the presence of one man. Professor Muktar Abdullahi. Young. Surgeon. Authority. Confidence. Discipline. brilliant. feared. untouchable. His words cut sharper than his scalpel. His eyes? Cold enough to freeze a room. No one dares get close. No one even tries. He's the man whose silence drowns out entire lecture halls. Whose precision in the operating room borders on brutal. Whose eyes never stray-but when they do, they linger. She hates how she feels on edge around him. Then the unthinkable happens-life pulls her into his world, not as student and professor, but something more intimate. Unspoken. Unnatural. A closeness that neither acknowledges, but both endure. In the quiet moments between them, something sharp begins to shift. A question without form, an ache without name. Is he still the same cold, unreachable professor? Or is there something under the surface-fractured, tender, hers? As secrets press in and old wounds whisper from the past, Summaiya finds herself unraveling everything she thought she knew about love, about duty, and about the man who shouldn't bother her-but somehow does. Pulse of Forever is a haunting, emotionally charged love story of restraint, redemption, and the quiet war between two hearts still learning how to beat-as one.
