HER HEART, MY HOME.
Lailah Mahmud,at just twenty one, already knew loss too deeply. A widow with two little boys - Amir, barely three, and Akbar, still in her arms - she's buried her dreams beside her husband's grave. Love is no longer part of her story... or so she believes. Then fate rewrites her path. Captain Zayd Bishir Kanjiji, once her brother's senior and roommate back in the Nigerian Defence Academy, first saw her at the convocation ceremony - graceful, smiling, unforgettable. He tried to forget her, dismissing it as a passing admiration. But two years later, at her brother's wedding, he realizes he never truly did. Determined and sincere, Zayd confides in her brother, who warns him it won't be easy to win Lailah's guarded heart. Still, Zayd refuses to retreat. His confession is gentle yet bold - only to be met with Lailah's immediate rejection. But love has never been about convenience. Even when his mother and sisters disapprove - unwilling to see their heir, a first-time groom, marry a widow with children - Zayd remains steadfast. For him, Lailah isn't just another chapter... she's the whole story. And for Lailah, his patience, persistence, and quiet warmth begin to melt the walls she built so high - reminding her that love can rise from loss, and sometimes, a heart once broken can become the safest home of all. Her Heart, My Home is a breathtaking tale of second chances, healing, and a love that chooses - again and again - even when the world says it shouldn't.Complete
A Beautiful Abyss
In the glittering sprawl of Abuja's elite circles, Amani is a vibrant force of curiosity and rebellion, drawn to the shadows others fear. When she crosses paths with Arfat-a brilliant, enigmatic man with a darkness he keeps carefully masked-her intrigue threatens to consume them both. Arfat is controlled, untouchable, and entirely uninterested in playing by anyone's emotional rules. But Amani isn't like the others. She isn't afraid of him-and that makes her dangerous. As their worlds collide in a dance of temptation, secrets, and unravelling control, Amani begins to see the cracks in Arfat's armour, and what lies beneath is both beautiful and terrifying. But love, when touched by darkness, is never simple. It is a plunge into the unknown. An abyss you choose. And sometimes, just sometimes, what you find at the bottom is light.Complete
Veiled
COMPLETED!!! Abuja - the city of power and secrets. Zayd Ibrahim Khalil leaned against the hood of his Mercedes, the engine still purring, though he wasn't going anywhere. He scrolled absently through his phone, notifications piling in from friends, half the girls in Abuja, and half-hearted invitations to exclusive parties. His thumb hovered, pausing at a recent blog post headline: "If you like make your papa be minister, this babe no really send you!" The picture beneath it showed him -face frowned, mid-rant and her, calm and unwavering, staring him down like he was nothing more than a storm she refused to be swept away by. She wasn't like the others. She didn't care about who his father was, or how much his car cost, or that he'd graduated from one of the best tech universities in Dubai. She didn't want his attention and that only made him want hers even more. Amina "Amal" Muhammad. Final year Petroleum Engineering student. Youngest of her circle. The one whose eyes didn't just look, they saw. The one whose veil wasn't just fabric, it was conviction. He clenched his jaw. "She thinks she's above it all," he muttered. But beneath his arrogance, something twisted in his chest an ache he didn't want to name. It wasn't just rejection. It was something deeper. Something dangerous. Somewhere across town, Amal sat with her journal open, the words flowing like prayers. "He's everything I was taught to stay away from... but somehow, I keep seeing him everywhere I go." Neither of them knew it yet, but this was no ordinary clash of personalities. This was the beginning of a firestorm. One fueled by pride and mystery, the other by power and faith. This was the moment where love first struck... not gently, but like lightning. Veiled behind it all secrets, ambition, pain, and the possibility of redemption. And neither of them would come out untouched. Rankings No.1 Naija Stories- 3rd August 2025 No. 2 Arewa Stories- 3rd August 2025 No.1 billionaireson- 7th August 2025Complete

DESTINED FOR THE CROWN.
In the grand Kano Emirate, Sultan Abdulrahman III ruled with wisdom, power, and an unshakable sense of justice. Yet beneath the glory of his reign brewed a storm within his own household. On the same fateful day, four princes were born to four different mothers-each one raised to believe the throne belonged to him alone. Prince Abdul Malik, the fiery eldest of Lady Muzaina, carried ambition like a sword. Prince Abdul Hameed, heir of Queen Ruhaima, was bred in pride and entitlement. Prince Abdulrazak, son of Lady Hafsah, mastered cunning and manipulation. And Prince Abdulsalaam, the youngest, born of Lady Maimoon, was unlike them all-an introverted yet peaceful soul, adored by the people and quietly cherished by the Sultan. Raised in the care of their formidable grandmother, Sultana A'isha, Abdulsalaam grew into a man who never fought for the crown, yet every word he spoke carried weight. His gentleness stood in stark contrast to his brothers' arrogance and cruelty, earning him both their hatred and the people's love. But the fragile balance of the royal household shattered when Sultana A'isha discovered an unconscious maiden, Arfah, during one of her evening strolls. Brought into the palace, Arfah's beauty and mystery captured the hearts of all four princes at once. Love became another battlefield, entwining itself with ambition, rivalry, and destiny. As secrets unravel and the struggle for power deepens, one question looms over the Kano Emirate: Will the throne be claimed by fire, pride, or peace? The Prince of Peace is a tale of power, betrayal, brotherhood, and the one prince whose silence may prove stronger than swords.Complete
