Ranya Rabiu is everything a perfect daughter should be-until her body begins to fail and her soul starts to rebel. Engaged to a man who treats her like an achievement, she drifts through life half-awake, suffocating under obedience and silence. Then she meets Dr. Zaydan Malik-quiet, watchful, dangerously gentle. He doesn't try to save her. He simply sees her, and that changes everything. As Ranya begins to awaken, the world tightens its grip. Love becomes a liability. Choice becomes a sin. Forced into a marriage she never chose, she is sealed inside a house where her voice fades, her faith flickers, and the one person who made her feel real disappears. This is not a love story. It's the story of what happens when a woman learns who she is-and the cost of wanting more.

Anwar was already moving toward her. "Anwar... don't," she whispered. His hand reached for her veil. She screamed, the sound tearing from her throat as panic took over. "Keep quiet!" he shouted, his voice thunderous, shaking the room. She fought back, pushing at his chest, struggling with everything she had. Fear made her hands shake, but she didn't stop resisting. Her breaths came fast and broken as she tried to escape his grip. his father's call came through and puts it on speaker. "What is happening there?" his father demanded. "Who is screaming like that?" Anwar didn't hesitate. "It's my wife-to-be." Nayara opened her mouth to speak, to scream for help-but Anwar's voice cut her off. "Stay quiet," he warned sharply. On the line, his father's voice exploded, ordering him to stop whatever he was doing. Anwar ignored him. Instead, he picked up his phone again and dialed another number. It rang twice. "Nayara?" her father's tense voice came through. "Where are you? Why aren't you home?" She tried to answer. "She's with me," Anwar said instead. There was a pause. "Who are you?" her father asked. "Her husband-to-be." "What nonsense is this?" her father snapped. Anwar's voice turned cold. "I don't have time. My father is on the line. I want to marry Nayara immediately." Both men started shouting at once through the speaker. Anwar leaned closer to Nayara, lowering his voice so only she could hear. "Tell him." She shook her head, tears filling her eyes. He raised his voice again. "I want her as my wife. Decide now." His father roared through the phone, furious, ordering him to step back. Anwar didn't move. "I'd rather touch her as my wife," he said calmly into the phone, "than do something I won't take responsibility for. If you refuse this marriage, don't expect me to change my mind." Nayara let out a broken scream. Her father's voice cracked as he demanded, "What do you want?" Anwar answered without hesitation. "Marry her to me. Now."

A man and A woman living in different worlds. "You're smiling at biscuits now." Habeebah immediately frowned. "I am eating normally." "You're eating emotionally." "That doesn't even make sense." "It does when somebody is in love." Habeebah nearly choked. "I'm not in love!" "Mhm." Ziyada pointed dramatically toward the bedside table. "Hamma bought enough supplies to survive an apocalypse." "He was just being nice." "He bought three types of chocolate." Habeebah looked away weakly. Okay. That part had affected her too. Very much. Before she could respond, her phone buzzed lightly beside her. And unfortunately- Both girls already knew.

Book five in the forever series

Maryam Nazeef Danbatta is the crown jewel of the Danbatta legacy. Surrounded by five overprotective brothers and a father whose name commands the very soil of Kano, her life is a beautiful, velvet-lined cage. At twenty, her world is defined by lecture halls, family traditions at her grandmother's estate, and the silent understanding that she is "too delicate" for the world outside. She is safe. She is loved. She is invisible to danger. Then there is Khalil. Cold, brilliant, and devastatingly powerful, Khalil is the son of a political dynasty and the only man the Danbatta lions truly respect. He has been a fixture in Maryam's life for years...a silent, arrogant shadow who barely acknowledges her existence. To Maryam, he is the "Ice King," a man too high on his own pedestal to notice a girl like her. But behind Khalil's chilling indifference lies a calculation years in the making. He hasn't been ignoring her; he's been waiting. Waiting for her to grow up. Waiting for the right move. Waiting to dismantle the very walls her brothers built to keep him out. In a world where reputation is everything and family is law, can a quiet obsession turn into a "halal" happily ever after? Or will the secrets Khalil carries burn down the fortress Maryam calls home?

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem She built her world on control. Nayla is everything people admire-successful, composed, untouchable. As the CEO of a thriving interior design company, she lives by one rule: no distractions, no love, no complications. For the next three years, her heart is off-limits-and she intends to keep it that way. Umar has never believed in chasing what isn't meant for him... until he sees her. Powerful, patient, and certain, Umar knows one thing instantly-Nayla is different. And this time, walking away is not an option, even if she rejects him at every turn. But in a world where business ties bind them, reputations matter, and family expectations run deep, staying away from each other becomes impossible. Nayla refuses to yield. Umar refuses to let go. And somewhere between resistance and patience, pride and longing... two unyielding hearts may finally learn what it means to choose love. Unyielding Hearts, where love isn't given... it's fought for. This is my first ever Wattpad novel. I've always had a passion for well-written love stories, but never the courage to actually write one and stay consistent without thinking it's not good enough. So here I am, choosing to start anyway. I'd really appreciate your support, feedback, and encouragement as I grow through this journey. Please help keep me accountable. Jazakumullahu khairan ❤🌹
