Amina Abubakar Gamɓaki thought freedom would come the day she walked away from her abusive marriage. Instead, she's faced with a new kind of battle, single motherhood, the threat of losing her children, and the weight of scars no one else can see. Love is the last thing she's searching for; safety is all she wants. Salis Bugaje has built an empire from silence and discipline. Since losing his wife, he's locked his emotions away, convinced that marriage can only ever be duty, not love. But when family pressure forces his hand, he agrees to a marriage of convenience with Amina... only to discover she is the doctor he holds responsible for his wife's death. What begins as an arrangement quickly turns into a collision of secrets, grief, and unexpected sparks. Caught between mistrust and the fragile hope of healing, Amina and Salis must decide: will they keep running from the past, or dare to rebuild a future, together?

Do we even realise that we are violating the rules of being a Muslim because Muslim literally means 'the one who submits to the will of God'. The story stresses on the particular topics which the present youth is going through. A girls journey from haram to halal who was trapped in haram things and a lesson for those who attach their hearts before marrying.
