*Could you ever love a broken person?* "I understand that you're broken," he said as he lifted her chin so she stared directly into his eyes. "But I want you to understand that it is my job to restore the happiness you lost. I am your husband now, Afrah. And it is my responsibility to make you happy. So that is my mission from now until the end of time." Afrah stared down at her hands, feeling as though her soul was being wrenched from her body. She couldn't look him in the eye. Not after what she had gone through. Not when she still saw the devil in his eyes. * It is said that the most painful wounds leave the deepest scars. No one could attest to that more than Afrah Aminu. For eleven years she's kept a secret to herself, knowing that she might never be able to tell anyone. Not that she wanted to.

"If I tell you I am in love with you, how will you react? " he leaned close to me. Hmm... I could faint, jump in excitement, cry, run away, hug him, kiss him, shrug... I don't know I have never had a love story before. "I don't know" I looked back into his eyes. "Then you need to find out," a smirk danced on his face. ~~~*•* ~~~ She had never had a love story! Never felt love! Never kissed! Never had a heartbreak! But I guess this term she would be in a rollercoaster filled of love. Don't forget not all high school love ends well. I guess she needs to stick till the end to find out. STARTED: May 18th 2020 FINISHED: Dec 3rd 2020 Credit for my new Book cover goes to me @MabelOsagiede ☺❤
