Between caring for her mother, Haj Zainabu, and her younger sister, Nusayba, she built herself into a woman of strength and silence.
Next door lives Ajeed Abdur-Rauf, the heir to an empire, the boy she once teased as small yaro, and the man who later made her forget every rule she ever knew. Their secret bond began in innocence and grew into something that split both families apart.
Years later, tragedy, memory loss, and a forced marriage drive them in opposite directions. She is rebuilding her career. He is trapped by his powerful mother, Haj Rakiya, and an ambitious wife, Lamia.

Behind the murder lies a past no one wants uncovered, one that could destroy two families and expose a chain of revenge years in the making.
📌 Disclaimer / Intro Note for Readers:
When I first started this story, I was accused of copying from a book named Siara. At that time, I honestly didn't know about it, but now I do. This version is a completely rewritten plot, with fresh twists, new character arcs, and my own vision. Nothing here is taken from anywhere else-this is purely my creation.
