A Thousand Silent Cries

She left home with ₦20,000 hidden in her bag and a scholarship application hidden from her mother-because hope is easier to carry when nobody can steal it.
Lagos stole it anyway.
Now Nayan is trapped in a story she can't fully remember... but her body remembers enough to be afraid. A name keeps echoing-Amina-and every clue points back to the one place she never thought to question: her father's past.
Then Zayd steps in-rich, powerful, untouchable.
He offers protection like it's a decision he already made.
But the more he "saves" her, the more Nayan realizes something terrifying:
Zayd might be the safest place to hide...
and the most dangerous person to trust.
Because in his world, love doesn't come softly.
It comes with secrets. Rules. Eyes that follow you.
