Despite this, she remained undeterred, focusing on studying for her WAEC exams, hoping to find a way to escape to university.

Copyright© 2022. All rights reserved. Two people forced to live under the same roof in the name of something called 'conjugation' a sacred relationship that is supposed to be filled with love, tolerance, patience, consideration, listening and respect but in this situation, it is the total opposite of what a marriage encompasses. Theirs is filled with castigation, intolerance, cowardice and heedlessness. Merged with dramatic in-laws, the family is turned upside down. Although she couldn't see his face, she sensed a change in the atmosphere... the fierce will of a warrior in battle, the urge to conquer and dominate. Aware of his violence barely kept in check, Layla remained very still. She kept her face turned away and listened to his breathing, until the deepening movements of his lungs became calm once more. Not at all moved of scared, she lifted a mocking brow and jeered. "Go to hell, Captain!"

Copyright© 2020. All rights reserved. She sat on her bed thinking how on earth is she to get married at the tender age of sixteen. Not marrying any ordinary person, but the youngest prince. He is also just nineteen years old and to her, he is still a young boy growing just like she is. Poignant you might say? She thought at that age, she will be thinking about which university to choose amongst all the universities in the country but no. She is now going to start thinking about what to cook before her husband gets home and how to dress for the day as a Royal. Jumbled right? That is not half the story. She got divorced a day after their marriage the reason known to her clearly but she refuse to take fault. Brutal in your mind isn't it? No, the fact that she needs to work in the same palace she's left as a married woman to get something in her stomach is the trouble. How can she cope working in her ex-husband's Chamber? She also didn't know that the position she started working hard for would be taken away from her just like that in a blink of an eye. He got everything he's wanted and more. That is when she thought about stepping up in her game. He should know who he is dealing with and she is no more young, she is a woman now.

Copyright© 2023. All rights reserved. Meet Yasmin El-suraj, the epitome of determination. Defying the stifling norms of a judgmental society, Yasmin fervently pursues her dreams to ensure her family's rightful prosperity. In a society quick to judge, branding a woman's success as tied to whoring about and veiling it under a less prosperous business, Yasmin refuse to be defined by prejudice. When fate presents her the chance to become an event planner, Yasmin seizes it like a lifeline, disregarding her humble beginnings and embracing the opportunity with vigor. As the youngest and least affluent among her peers, she pours her heart and soul into mastering the craft, unwilling to squander this chance. Amidst the whirlwind of her burgeoning career, fate orchestrates a pivotal encounter during her first wedding event-a meeting with Abdullah, a groomsman. A man she knew she wanted, she fell for at first sight. The memory of their first interaction is a blend of blushing embarrassment and unforgettable mortification, etching itself indelibly in Yasmin's psyche. Most wouldn't look his way ever again and would hope to never meet in this lifetime, but not Yasmin. Despite discovering Abdullah's impending marriage, she stakes her claim, unyielding in a society where a man can have four wives, determined to find her place in his life.

She was never meant to be his. He never wanted to feel anything. Sarah's world crumbles the moment she's sold off like property - forced into marriage with a man as distant as he is dangerous: Khalifa Modibbo, known for his silence, power, and the darkness behind his eyes. He doesn't smile. He doesn't touch her. He doesn't even pretend to care. But beneath his indifference lies a storm - quiet, controlled, and waiting to break. Their marriage begins in silence, with sharp edges and cold walls. No tenderness. No trust. Just two strangers bound by resentment and pride. But love doesn't always arrive with warmth. Sometimes it creeps in through stolen glances, bitter arguments, and the ache of two broken souls trying not to fall. As old wounds resurface and new trials threaten to tear them apart, Sarah and Khalifa must face the truth: They may have been forced together by fate - but what grows between them could either ruin them... or save them. Because the strongest loves aren't always gentle. Some are woven from pride, pain, and every thread they swore they'd never offer anyone.

Hooriyah was broken long before she ever truly lived. One night, everything was taken from her-her trust, her voice, her innocence. The world showed her that some things are never meant to be repaired, and love isn't meant for girls like her. She learned to live with silence, with shadows, and the weight of a memory that refuses to fade. But then there was Muhammad. Gentle, patient, and kind-he saw her in ways no one else did. Loved her with a tenderness that frightened her. But love isn't simple when the past is a ghost that never lets go. Especially when the man she's starting to trust is hiding something-something that could change everything. Buried Desires is a story of lingering pain, love that's too complicated to define, and the fragile hope of two broken souls caught between truth and deception-each one unsure if healing is even possible.

Maryam never noticed the eyes watching her. The quiet steps. The window that never quite closed the way she left it. A stranger with haunted eyes and a darkness she couldn't understand. He saw her in ways no one else ever did. He watched from the shadows, left gifts at her door, and whispered her name into the night. His name is Yusuf. But the world calls him V. To them, he's a ghost-criminal, thief, myth. To her, he's something far more terrifying. He's the one she can't stop thinking about. He says he'd never hurt her. But he's already stolen her peace... and maybe her heart.
