            ❝pray tell, young lass,
             what do you know about hell?❞

For Aala AbdulMalik, her home is hell personified.

In a house where words were left unsaid, promises broken, and hearts bitter from ages of disappointment, being her father's 'mistake' was her biggest regret.

 It didn't help that her family members blamed her for jinxing their happiness, and so, hated her. Thus, she was hidden in plain sight from the world that itched to know everything about the illusive AbdulMalik family, for no one airs their dirty laundry in public.

When her stepmother finally decides to get rid of her by marrying her off to the highest bidder-The Son of the President of Nigeria, everything changes. 

Because when you've spent your whole light in the shadows, being in the spotlight was nothing but torture.

____•____ In Nigeria, it's known to everybody that each and every family has it own tradition. DAGGASH also has its, which differs from any other families of the Shuwa Arabs in that country Being a member of the 'DAGGASH' was everything she hates in life, she regretted being brought to such a family that goes under the will and control of a selfish old lady 'AYYA' She doesn't understand why must everything has to go just as Ayya commands?!! Can't they just live a happy life with no Ayya and her problems!! Is that a lot to ask for?! It's a rule laid by Ayya , a rule that has been going on ever so long, which makes things more complicated. She can't believe that Ayya is the one to tell her what to dream of and what not to! Her mates are down their in their graves and she's here trying to take control over their own lives. The rule says "NO ONE IS EVER ALLOWED TO MARRY A SPOUSE OUT OF THE BOUNDARY OF THE DAGGASH" and what annoys her more is that Ayya is to match spouses. That's not the only rule Ayya laid, there are many more others , she felt disturbed. Suffocated. Prisoned. Weak. She wondered how her parents were able to go through all this, now that. She couldn't live her normal life. Why must Ayya take her family's happiness for her own self satisfaction?!! Is she this heartless?!!! If not for the sake of mama and baba, she'll have never stayed in such a disaster with Ayya torturing her life and all other members of the family. ____•____

"Sarauniya!" I said almost loudly but not enough for my friend Bilal to hear, "who is she?" "Aaliyah. She's the late Alhaji Mujib's daughter. " Bilal said seeming uninterested with the topic. "Ina gidan su?" I asked, sounding a bit like a crazy stalker. "Ka kamu da ciwon so ko?" He asked as a smile spreads across his face, "They live in Asokoro district. Remember Aunty Shamsiyya? The place isn't far from your habibty's home too." "Ok, thank you. Allah ya maka albarka." "Let me know when to be expecting an invitation card." Hamza said while trying to stifle his laughter but fails woefully and I smack him on his arm as payback, joining him to laugh too. I wanted to follow her and speak to her but I heard the music start, signaling the commencement of Bilal's cousin Nadiya and her groom; Saleem's overpriced dinner party for both families. #WattysNG2020 **** This is Aaliyah's story from grass to grace as she faces obstacles created by her aunt who has done nothing but torture her since her parents death.

Destined Hearts by xxxwannabewriterxxx
45 parts Ongoing Mature
Muhammad thought of Madeenah as a child, younger than his baby sister, although way more mature. She seemed to have created a bond with his daughter and that was all that came to his mind about her. Not her smooth caramel skin, or her captivating light brown eyes and neither did her sweet voice do it for him. Madeenah thought of Ya Muhammad as an arrogant and stoic person but a really good father. In truth she was terrified of him. She hated the way he would look at her, as though she was less important than him. She hated the way he never spoke unless he needed to. She hated the way his voice washed over her, making her shiver. She hated his height and how it made him tower over her small frame. She hated him but she just couldn't stop thinking about him. So what happens when the two end up being brought together by an unusual arrangement . He's older, she's younger. He has a daughter and she has barely begun life. Will he let go of the past and try to find happiness or will he drag her down with him? --------------------------------------- "Let's get married." He says with such a straight face that I feel stupid as I chuckle. "What did you just say?" I ask in disbelief. "You heard me Madeenah." He says in a gravelly tone. "Why would you want to marry me?" I shake my head. "You don't like me." "I like you well enough to be married to you." His broad shoulders shrug in his familiar black suit. What is going on with him? And what have I gotten myself into?

FEATURED in @AmbassadorsNG reading list Kamharida heard the unfortunate news and smirked but when she realizes she's the only one who could see the boy whom she has always disliked since his arrival into her school, circumstances change, things happen and she begins to wonder if she should have really done that. * * * In our present Nigeria, Kamharida Godwin, a rather average but not so typical teenager discovers she's the only one who could see her classmate, a young boy whom she had taken a dislike to since his arrival into the school. In a country like hers where seeing the unseen is regarded as something a little on the devious side, she's about to convince herself and the people around her that she hasn't lost her sanity... or has she?
