Beyond the Veil of Pride

Laylah Dahiru Galadima believes the world is hers for the taking. Spoilt, arrogant, and unapologetically reckless, she walks through life with the belief that money can fix anything. AbdulJawwad Bukar Sherrif is her complete opposite-a calm and collected man who has known the taste of agony. A week before his wedding, he lost his fiancée due to his stepbrother's recklessness, a tragedy that plunged him into a nearly fatal illness. Now, he's back, broken but set to rebuild his life.

When Laylah's path crosses with Jawwad's, it's a clash of fire and ice. The more they meet, the more they despise each other. For Laylah, Jawwad is the one man who doesn't bow to her whims. And she hates the way his thoughts always crawl into her mind!

For Jawwad, Laylah is a painful reminder of everything he hates: arrogance, cruelty, and a sense of entitlement. But as much as they fight, a twisted attraction simmers beneath the surface. Laylah starts to see something in Jawwad she didn't expect. And just as she begins to fall for him, his hatred for her reaches new heights.

In a world where emotions are as unpredictable as the next storm, Laylah and Jawwad find themselves in a dangerous game of love, betrayal and hate.

What happens when the one person you can't stand becomes the one person you can't live without? Yet, stubborn enough to never admit that?
