"Every normal bride should be overjoyed to see this day; the day when finally she'd be joined to the love of her life in holy matrimony forever."

"My gaze dropped to the thin cold silver band around my slender ring finger......
Every normal bride would fondle it lovely, reminiscing that fateful day and most romantic way it was placed there by her one true love.
Yet I wasn't a normal bride. What I so wanted to do was far from fondle it. I stared at it blankly but in earnest, I was resisting the urge to pull it off and smash it against the wall......"

Marriage is bondage they say; for Charlie and Asher, it certainly was. Charlie and Asher were two Nigerians in totally separate worlds until a holy in fate brought their worlds crashing together. Thier marriage was a disaster waiting to happen or rather already happening. Could anything come out of their union, if you could even call it that? A failure from the beginning?

"But God uses the base things of the world to confound the wise..."

Thiers' was as one "Begotten From The Dead"

Scarred For Life by _najeeb_i

*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. But now, with the sudden arrival of a strange man in her life, she finds herself thrown into the terrifying situation of having to relive it all. As he tears down each and every wall she has set up around her heart, the memories of that haunting night come crashing in waves. Will she be able to survive it? Or will she be crushed underneath its weight?

JUST FOR YOU by Bambie019

CURRENTLY EDITING!! ~♡♡~ "Are there other vows you'd like to say to each other?" The priest asked. We both nodded simultaneously as we smiled. "I have to catch my breath to believe this is real-that I'm marrying my true love, my heart's desire. I promise to hold our love as an everlasting love. I promise to love you, to be your hearth, to keep a flame alive for you in my heart." I beamed widely as tears of joy flowed from my eyes. "I promise that my love for you will be an ever-flowing spring, never diminished, always sweet, and life-giving. Not just for this moment, not for an hour, day, or year, I will always love you, and most of all, I promise to be just for you." He concluded, lifted my veil, and kissed me even before the priest asked us to while the congregation screamed. ♡♡ Janette Williams is a typical shy, quiet, and introverted girl because of her overly protective and dictating father.

1 of 2 - Shukr series. {COMPLETED} ___ • His African Angel & Her Brown-Eyed Stranger • ___ I whispered to him as we continued to sway to the lyrics. "They say, 'every life is a story', but I thank you. Thank you for being part of mine, thank you for being my knight in shining cloak, Zayan ibn Ahmer." ••• Not all smiles make a happy person. Contrary to the misinterpreted fact that not all horns and forks make the devil. Sadiya Muhammad Yusuf. Having lost a father as well as a brother at her teenage years. No, wrong guess. Many might be stricken of a thought as to her loss of those who were meant to be the most important males in her life. It was not the defunct of any of them. With a sick mother, scales through all life threw at her. Aiming right at the bullseye as a gynecologist. Right when she thought all was falling back into place, she loses her only confidante, supporter. Her only parent in the picture, dead. She never thought her life would be the same. But what happens, when the one being she convinced herself to loathe the most shows erratically after the past comes haunting her present? ••• Royalty screams a lot. Power. Grace. Wealth. Aristocracy. And most of all; Status. In the city of Yemen, comes no exception from the qualities of being Royal. When a prince by name, Zayan ibn Ahmer ibn Ayyub al-Qadim III, like a cliché Bollywood movie, bumps into a lady shooting laser towards the man he finds her in the arms of. Nigeria had always been among his favorites, perhaps even more. Specially after he sets those light-brown orbs on her. Not all angels had wings, and not all Africans must be bound to their continent. Maybe physically and ethnically, but surely not by heart too. You might wonder what happens after, long story short, having a mix of the two is worth every patience. |NEW VERSION| Fatima Abdulmalik 2023. All Rights Reserved ©
