Copyright© 2023. All rights reserved. Meet Yasmin El-suraj, the epitome of determination. Defying the stifling norms of a judgmental society, Yasmin fervently pursues her dreams to ensure her family's rightful prosperity. In a society quick to judge, branding a woman's success as tied to whoring about and veiling it under a less prosperous business, Yasmin refuse to be defined by prejudice. When fate presents her the chance to become an event planner, Yasmin seizes it like a lifeline, disregarding her humble beginnings and embracing the opportunity with vigor. As the youngest and least affluent among her peers, she pours her heart and soul into mastering the craft, unwilling to squander this chance. Amidst the whirlwind of her burgeoning career, fate orchestrates a pivotal encounter during her first wedding event-a meeting with Abdullah, a groomsman. A man she knew she wanted, she fell for at first sight. The memory of their first interaction is a blend of blushing embarrassment and unforgettable mortification, etching itself indelibly in Yasmin's psyche. Most wouldn't look his way ever again and would hope to never meet in this lifetime, but not Yasmin. Despite discovering Abdullah's impending marriage, she stakes her claim, unyielding in a society where a man can have four wives, determined to find her place in his life.

Rain remembers everything. Every whispered prayer. Every slammed door. Every almost-love and every wound hidden beneath soft smiles. For Ilham, rain has never just been rain. It is comfort. Memory. A language only her heart seems to understand. In the middle of a loud, loving family filled with teasing sisters, late-night conversations, wedding chaos, and unspoken emotions, she moves through life carrying feelings she cannot always explain, and truths she is terrified to admit. Because some kinds of love arrive gently. And some arrive like a storm. Surrounded by people who love fiercely and imperfectly, Ilham finds herself caught between loyalty, guilt, longing, and the aching need to be understood. Then there is Aayan. The one person who sees through every version of her. Calm where she is restless. Certain where she is afraid. What begins as quiet comfort slowly turns into something far more dangerous, a connection so deep it threatens the careful balance of their lives and the relationships around them. As emotions intensify and buried feelings rise to the surface, Ilham must confront the question she has spent so long avoiding: What happens when the person who feels like home is the very person you are not supposed to love? Set against rainy Abuja nights, intimate family moments, sisterhood, faith, heartbreak, and healing, this story is a deeply emotional journey about love in all its complicated forms, the kind that breaks you, remakes you, and teaches you that sometimes the heart chooses for itself.

Love in Silence She loved him from afar, her heart quietly holding onto a hope he didn't even know existed. Every glance, every word unspoken, carried the weight of feelings she never dared to share. He walked into her life like a storm-charming, unaware, and impossibly close-while she remained a shadow in the background, silently wishing for a moment that might never come. Between stolen glances, unspoken words, and nights filled with longing, she must decide: hold onto her silent love, or risk everything to finally be seen. A story of quiet hearts, hidden desires, and the courage it takes to let love find its voice... before it's too late.
