Façade: Wife for Hire
BOUND SERIES #1 Amina Ammar has always prioritized freedom over convention. With her father's ultimatum to provide a husband by the end of the year or marry his choice pressing down on her, she was adamant on her views of marriage, a trap and a societal contract she'd rather not sign. Desperation can twist logic, a calculated marriage to a virtual stranger might be her best chance at escaping the gilded cage that would be her fate. Aayan Muhammad Junaid's view of love couldn't be more different from his father's romantic ideal. He has dedicated his life to building his career. Now on the cusp of getting all he has worked for, an unforeseen condition makes him do the one thing he has always stood against, taking a wife. And like everything in his life, he would make sure it was on his terms. No love, no expectations. Just a practical arrangement. But the heart, as they'll learn, plays by no rules.
Prof. Khan's Biwi | 18+
Meerab Mahnoor, 22, a breathtaking beauty with fire in her soul and poetry on her lips, graduated in English Honours from Hyderabad Central University. Her dream? To earn her M.A in Literature from London and return as someone her parents could proudly speak of. But London wasn't just a place of books and dreams-it was a storm waiting to swallow her whole. Because the danger didn't wear a mask. It wore a suit. And stood at the front of her classroom. Khan Murtasim Khan, 28, sinfully hot, cold-eyed, and maddeningly unreadable, was in his fourth year of PhD studies-and her professor. He didn't smile. He didn't bend. But when his gaze found Meerab, everything began to unravel. He noticed her. He watched her. And then... he wanted her. The glances turned into tension. The tension turned into obsession. And Meerab? She stepped into a game of shadows with a man who could ruin her... or awaken everything she never knew she craved. Because some lessons aren't taught in books-some are learned between stolen glances, whispered threats, and forbidden touches. He's supposed to guide her, not crave her. She's supposed to respect him, not need him. But some stories don't follow the syllabus. And some desires? They're just waiting to be unleashed. Dark secrets. Stolen glances. A past that won't stay buried. And a chemistry that refuses to be denied. This is not your typical campus romance. It's twisted. It's intense. It's everything you weren't ready for. Tropes you'll love: Professor × Student Age Gap (6 years) Possessive Male Lead Sweet Bubly Female Lead Dark Academia Vibes Enemies to Obsession Power Play Mystery + Slow Burn + Smut Hidden Past / Forbidden Romance He Falls First.

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
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
