In the remote village of Dumurkul, Rayhan had life pretty hard. She's simply a teenage Fulani girl that knew pain in all shades, and all she wanted was to further her education. Her life savior came in the form of an NYSC Corp member named Dr Kurfi. Her innocent heart couldn't resist throbbing a bit at his sight, nor his kindness and when he smiled calling her 'Yar Fulani'? Rayhan's brittle heart shrunk and she was instantly enthralled! She called him 'Dan Bature' because to her, no man has ever looked this handsome! Agony fell upon her life so strong she fancied her death. And what her heart once felt for Nameer, it turned into sheer hatred churning her insides. She hated him as much as she was enticed by him before. And she avowed never to forgive him, even if a life was to be on the line...hers included. Fate wasn't about to let the duo be. As they met again but she wasn't that girl anymore. Despite the hatred she showed to him, Nameer knew he hadn't found her simply to lose her again. He was ready to fight...maybe A Trial On Love could be the price he'd pay to have her. And oh, what a trial it was!

Growls emanated from the darkness, just as she had suspected. The fierce wind lashed at the hood of her raven hoodie, wrenching it from its ties, leaving her vulnerable to the freezing winter assault. Fear surged, each breath creating a visible fog. Her heart pounded in her chest, but she refused to give in. She had come too far to let fear overcome her. Summoning every ounce of strength, she sprinted down the dark, unknown path, urging her feet to carry her to a mysterious and enigmatic destination. She would not remain tethered to the stranger her father had forced her to marry while she had been fighting for her life in a hospital bed. How could he have done such a thing to her? Her hatred for him intensified tenfold... The relentless pursuit abruptly halted, her voice releasing a high-pitched yelp at the unexpected sight. Before her stood her rejuvenated nightmare, her husband. She was not the least bit frightened, but the man had pledged to her father that he would stay married to her for eternity. "Seems like we're destined to be shrouded in this ominous darkness," he grinned, his smile dripping with menace, sending shivers down her spine. The desperate words she willed her mind to say failed to escape. Her retort of "Whatever, Police Officer" deserted her.
