Ameera Manga would rather analyze emotions than fall helplessly into them. Warm, magnetic, and effortlessly adored, she lights up every room she enters. Her future is neatly planned, until her final year throws her into chaos with someone she never expected. Zayyan Dikko is her opposite: controlled, precise, and private. Life to him is strategy. His career is on track, his reputation flawless, and his American girlfriend is expecting a proposal. But their parents have a different vision. They insist Ameera and Zayyan get to know each other. Neither wants the arrangement. Both love someone else. So they make a deal: Pretend to fall. Convince everyone. Then walk away beautifully. Simple. Logical. Risk-free. Until the lines blur. Until emotions shift. Until the act stops feeling like an act. Now the question is: What happens when pretending becomes the truth... and walking away becomes the hardest part?

Mariya...... In the depths of obscurity, a story unfolds. A tale of a girl who exists in the shadows, unseen and unheard. Her name is Mariya, a whisper in the wind, a faint echo in the silence. As I weave this narrative, I invite you to step into Mariya's world, a realm of perpetual twilight, where the lines between visibility and invisibility blur. At home, she's a ghostly presence, hovering on the periphery of her family's lives. Her parents, lost in their own worlds, barely acknowledge her existence. Her siblings, wrapped in their own cocoons, ignore her with practiced ease. In the halls of learning, Mariya haunts the shadows, unseen and unnoticed. Teachers glance over her, classmates brush past her, and friends... well, she has none. She's the quiet one, the invisible one, the one who disappears into the crowd. But what if I told you that Mariya's invisibility is more than just a feeling? What if I revealed that she's discovered a secret, a power that lets her fade into the shadows, to become one with the darkness? And what if I hinted that Mariya's not just invisible, but also waiting... waiting for the day when she'll be seen, heard, and understood? Waiting for the day when she'll emerge from the shadows and shine? That day is coming. And when it does, everything will change. Join me on this journey into the world of Mariya, where the invisible becomes visible, and the shadows come alive. Highest ranks : #9 Islamic love story #4 Hausa novels #9 arewa

Abdul Majeed Sardauna is wealthy, elusive, and untouchable. Known for his opulence and quiet dominance, he's the kind of man who walks into a room and owns it, without saying a word. Girls fall at his feet, but he never stays long enough for any of them to get comfortable. To him, they're too eager, too predictable... too easy. He craves a challenge. Zanira Abba Yusuf, brilliant, stubborn, and fiercely competitive. She has no patience for men like Sardauna, and definitely no interest in being another name on his list. Her walls are sky-high, her standards even higher, and her pride? Unbreakable. Their paths cross in the most unlikely of circumstances, one that forces them to work together, compete, and clash. Sparks fly, but so do tempers. He's used to being admired. She's used to being underestimated. And neither of them is willing to lose. But the line between hatred and longing is thin. And when secrets start unraveling, Abdul Majeed begins to question everything he thought he wanted. Because for the first time, someone doesn't just challenge him... She shakes him. And maybe, just maybe, she's the one woman who can undo the legend of Sardauna.

"Are... are you here to insult me? Or hit me... like everyone else has?" she whispered, her voice trembling. Malik sat beside her, his gaze steady. "No," he said softly. "I'm here as your brother, not the man who's supposed to marry you." Ikram looked at him, stunned, her chest heaving. He waited quietly, giving her the space to speak. "... i don't know what to say because you won't believe, who would believe what comes from a girl without dignity?." she asked, her voice barely audible. "If I wouldn't believe you," Malik replied, "I won't be asking." She fell silent for a moment, fighting the lump in her throat. "tell me what happened" Then, through her tears, she spoke, her words spilling out in a rush. "I... I only did this because I don't want to marry you. I want to marry Salim. I wasn't in the room to... not to do anything with him. Nothing happened between us. I promise. Salim told me to come greet his mother, and I thought... maybe if I did, his parents would see me, ask for my hand, and stop my marriage with you. I... I don't want to marry you. That's why I did it. Nothing else and we got stuck in his room his parents were back i didn't know what to do, and.. and Salem he told everyone that i use to go to his room often...."

Armani grew up starved of affection. In a house where love should have lived, her mother's coldness taught her to expect nothing from anyone. She learned to keep her feelings quiet, her hopes small, and her heart guarded. But everything changes when she is forced into an arranged marriage with Zaid Ismael AbdulRahman-a 26-year-old architectural prodigy and powerful multi-millionaire businessman. To the world, Zaid is known as a cold, calculating man. Reserved, disciplined, and distant, he is the kind of man people respect... and fear. No one has ever seen warmth in his eyes. Except Armani.

The same Zaid who terrifies boardrooms speaks to her softly, watches over her quietly, and protects her in ways she never expected.

In a marriage that was never meant to hold love, Armani may finally discover the one thing she thought she would never have-a heart that chooses her, every single day. ✨
