Amina never expected her first term at Crescent Hall Academy to be this dramatic. She planned to study, stay quiet, and keep her head down until graduation. But everything changes the moment she crosses paths with Usman - the charming boy everyone seems to know... and the last person she ever thought would get close to her. Between whispered rumours, jealous classmates, unexpected friendships, and pressure from upcoming exams, Amina finds herself caught in a storm she never asked for. Zahra, the school's resident troublemaker, has her own plans. And when a new girl arrives, getting a little too comfortable around Usman, things get even more complicated. As graduation approaches and tensions rise, Amina must figure out who she can trust, what she truly wants, and whether she's strong enough to handle the truth - especially when feelings grow, secrets unfold, and not everything is as it seems. A story of friendship, pressure, and the messy, unforgettable chaos of growing up - one chapter at a time.

"Money isn't a personality." Those five words were never meant for him. She didn't know the man standing a few feet away was Haidar Bello, Africa's most powerful billionaire. A man whose name commanded respect, yet whose face remained a mystery to the world. He should have forgotten her. Instead... He remembered every word. Fate, however, had other plans. When a rainy afternoon brings their paths together once again, a chance encounter blossoms into an unexpected connection. What begins as simple conversations slowly grows into something neither of them saw coming. But love has a way of arriving with storms. While Haidar secretly hunts the people responsible for the mysterious plane crash that claimed his parents' lives, Fatima finds herself trapped in a nightmare of her own. A new marriage in her family turns her peaceful home into a battlefield, forcing her into a future she never chose. As buried secrets rise to the surface, enemies step out of the shadows, loyalties are tested, and a single question remains... How much is a man willing to sacrifice for the woman who became his only exception? "We'll all be wrapped in the same white cloth. We'll all be buried beneath the same earth." Perhaps that's why she never cared about his wealth. She only cared about the man behind the name. Join me as we dive into a story of love, mystery, family, betrayal, revenge, faith, and the quiet moments that change everything. Because sometimes... The greatest love stories begin with a stranger... and a rainy day.

It's not a secret that he never wanted this marriage, but I thought I could satiate his hatred. And I'm coming to realise how much of a fool I am.

. . . . . The man took her to a small office downstairs. It seemed he was the owner of the hotel, given how well he knew his way around. She sobbed quietly, her sister's betrayal hurting more than Halima's beating. Today, she had to find out that her sister had no heart. "Take this," the mysterious man passed her an ice pack. "Use it on the swelling." She took it from him. "Thanks." The man studied her. She looked so young. What was a young lady like her doing in a hotel while her mates were in school? The man wondered. Women of today have no shame at all. "What were you thinking?" he asked. "Excuse me?" she asked, cocking a brow. "What were you thinking when you followed that man to the hotel? Don't you have any shame?" "Stop it. Stop talking as if you know the whole truth. You don't even know half of the story, but you're already judging," she said. He cackled. "Oh, really? What I witnessed is enough for me. You sell your body for money. It's as simple as that." "Shut up!" "The truth hurts, right? Next time, you should think before repeating the same mistake." "Please shut up!! Please," she broke into tears. It hurts a lot. Now she's the prostitute. People will laugh at her if they come to watch the videos some people took. "Okay," he raised his hands up in surrender. "I want to go home," she stood up. "I can send my driver to drop you if you want." "No, thank you. Wouldn't want part two to repeat itself," she said sarcastically. "Thanks for the ice, anyway." A story about two sisters fighting for their rights. A secret they've sworn to keep from the world. One of these sisters has to take the blame for the other sister's wrongdoing, and there's no way this innocent sister can speak the truth. No one would believe her, except one man.

Afeeyah was never supposed to be his wife, She was his sister. The little girl who used to steal his hoodies, hide behind his legs, and fall asleep on his shoulder during long car rides. Afdal loved her - always. But not this way. He loved her in every unseen, unspoken, unreturnable way a boy could love the girl raised beside him. Then life twisted. Destiny flipped the script. And suddenly, the girl who once called him brother... became the woman tied to him by marriage. But love doesn't follow logic. And hearts don't obey timelines. Now Afeeyah must learn to live with a man she still sees through the lens of childhood... While Afdal fights to unbury a love he buried long ago. This isn't a fairy tale. This is faith, family, and a marriage born from chaos. This isn't the marriage she wanted. But maybe... it's the love she needed. Not My Choice, Still My Nikkah - where hearts collide, lines blur, and the real question isn't why... but what now? --- > © Khulsum Saleem. All Rights Reserved. Wattpad Edition | 2025
