Hussam Ahmad Saraki is struggling to save his family's business which is on its road to failure. This made Hussam take a huge loan from an old friend, Salman Abdulsamad Isyaka Rabi'u and it came with one condition:
'If the money is not fully paid on a specific date, he gets him married to his sister, Aisha Saraki.'
Rahman Al-Hassan Shehu Shagari, the successor of his father's billionaire company took Hussam's brother, Khalid Saraki hostage and is ready to end his life if he didn't give him Aisha's hand in marriage.
Abubakar Barkindo is willing to help the Saraki's family business if they agree to arrange Aisha and his eldest son, Adnan Abubakar Barkindo to prevent betrayal or any act that is disaccording to their contract, as in the Hausa land in-laws are taken with so much importance that betraying them will completely taint your image in the society, so the barkindos are assured that the sarakis won't risk it.
For years, the families of shehu shagari, Abdul-samad Rabi'u, and Abubakar Barkindo have been rivals, but things haven't been always like that, their hunger for power has managed to destroy the strong bond and trust established by their ancestors.
Hussam ran out of time, Rahman is still adamant about keeping Khalid hostage, the barkindos have laid the condition accompanied with their aid and all of these points to one person.
'AISHA AHMAD SARAKI'.
