He married her... but he never chose her. For five years, Inaya Abdullah loved Ameer Muhammad Siddique in silence. The way she designed her buildings - with precision, with patience... with the quiet belief that what she built would last. She never told him. A man like Ameer wasn't someone you confessed to. You admired him from a distance. You made du'a. You waited. Until one day... his parents chose her for him Because Ameer didn't come to her with love. He came with duty. His past left him guarded. Untouchable. The kind of man who could say "I do"... and still feel nothing. Now Inaya is bound to him by nikkah, building skylines by day, and returning each night to a husband who keeps her at arm's length... like she is something he doesn't trust himself to want. She is one of the most sought-after architects in northern Nigeria. She has built structures meant to stand for centuries. But Ameer is not something she can design. He is a wall. And the question growing heavier in her heart isn't whether she can make him love her... It's whether she will still recognize herself when she finally stops trying. A slow-burn story of quiet love, emotional distance, and the painful truth that sometimes... Being chosen matters more than being loved.

COMPLETE!!! Zarah is twenty, but her body is a battlefield. She's a master of the brave smile the one she wears so the people she loves don't have to see her breaking. After a lifetime of fighting Sickle Cell, the arrival of Leukemia feels like a final, cruel betrayal. She has spent her youth tracing the patterns on cold hospital sheets, enduring the unendurable, while her fading pulse threatens to quiet for good. Dr. Zayn knows exactly what it means to hold a life in his hands. A single father who prides himself on his clinical composure, Zayn is used to the sterile distance of the ward. But the girl in Room 402 undoes him. He doesn't just see a diagnosis; he sees a fierce, remarkable spirit he is desperate to anchor to this world. Between the hum of monitors and his own daughter's whispered bedtime stories, Zayn finds himself falling for a woman whose every breath is a victory. In the quietest corners of the hospital, something unexpected blooms. It's a love built on gentle jokes, whispered confessions, and hands held tight against the approaching dark. But medicine has its limits, and as surgeries fail and hope grows thin, Zayn is forced to face the ultimate question: How do you save someone who has already accepted the end? Zayn and Zarah is a raw, emotional journey through the wreckage of illness toward a light neither of them saw coming. It's a story of courage, the strength of a father's heart, and a love that refuses to let go, even when the monitors scream.

AN AREWA SLOW-BURN... ©2025 all rights reserved --- Aisha Hassan Saeed never planned to work for a man like Sudais Abubakar Muhammad - the meticulous, intimidating CEO who somehow manages to stress her, confuse her, and fascinate her all at once. She's outspoken, funny, and full of trouble. He's controlled, calculating, and impossible to read. They clash in the office, argue over little things, and pretend they can't stand each other. But underneath the sarcasm, the quiet looks, and the unspoken tension... something is shifting. This is a slow-burn story about a boss who swears he doesn't care, a PA who swears she can't be bothered, and the undeniable pull between two people who were never supposed to get close - yet somehow keep finding their way back to each other. --- ~"An image of complexity, painted in the subtilities of black and gray."

In the world of high-stakes gold and ancient legacies, Ali Muhammad Maigari was a "Titan" born to rule, a man of Saharan serenity whose very existence was a shield for the empire he commanded. But his strength had a silent, structural flaw-an obsession with a past he tried to bury and a future he feared he couldn't protect. Zara Sadauki didn't choose to be the "fragile solace" in a billionaire's contract. She didn't choose a heart that fluttered with medical risk, nor did she choose to be the "axis" upon which Ali's complex world revolved. Yet, she became the only light capable of piercing his shadows. When that axis was removed, Ali's world was thrown into a literal, physical chaos-a descent into a darkness that even his gold couldn't illuminate. Being the heir to the Maigari name wasn't Ali's choice, nor was carrying the burden of secrets that nearly cost him his soul. Why was Zara forced to bear the brunt of the grudges held by his brother? Why did she have to endure the short end of the stick in a war of blood and betrayal? From the moment she stepped into his gilded cage, Zara knew the path would be hard-fought. But she wasn't willing to remain a "clinical project." She harbors the same fierce determination to survive that Ali uses to conquer. However, there is a saying: "The more fragile the heart, the stronger the love that anchors it." Love_Scientist😘♥️ (Sumy_US)

#Book 1 In The Legacy Series. Arwa Mas'ud and Muhammad Hisham Maleek are opposites in every way-she's a young, idealistic student with a love for novels and a passion for change; he's a wealthy businessman with a hidden life as a detective. _____________________ Arwa knew she shouldn't have challenged him. But when she stood up against Hisham-the cold, arrogant detective with too much power and too much pride-she never imagined the price she would pay. A single argument, a moment of defiance, and suddenly, she's trapped in a forced marriage with a man who would rather punish her than love her. Hisham never let anyone get the better of him. Yet Arwa had humiliated him in front of an audience, and he wasn't the type to forgive. Marrying her was supposed to be a lesson-a way to remind her who truly held the power. But what happens when the lesson backfires? When the girl who was meant to break refuses to bend? When the man who swore he wouldn't care starts to? And when enemies lurking in the shadows realize that the easiest way to destroy Hisham... is through the wife he never wanted? Some battles are fought with weapons. Others with words. This one? It's war. Read to find out.
