Fatima Zarah Modibbo moves to a quiet neighborhood in Kano after a personal tragedy forces her to leave Lagos behind. Reserved but warm-hearted, she hopes to focus on healing, faith, and her law job until her peaceful world is disrupted by the cries of a little girl and the heartbreaking mysterious man next door.
Muhammad Idris, a 30-year-old single father and widower, juggles his demanding architecture job and raising his precocious 4-year-old daughter, Ameerah and 8 months old daughter, Asiya. Scarred by love and duty, Idris has no time for distractions especially not for the new neighbor who keeps showing up.
But proximity sparks something deeper. As the walls between them thin, both Zarah and Idris must confront their pasts, their faith, and what it truly means to be home-together.
From the bustling streets of Kano, to unexpected turns in Abuja, and a reunion in Lagos, this is a story of second chances, silent longing, parenting, and the love that blooms quietly when you least expect it.

A war named love
Abdul Majeed Sardauna is wealthy, elusive, and untouchable. Known for his opulence and quiet dominance, he's the kind of man who walks into a room and owns it, without saying a word. Girls fall at his feet, but he never stays long enough for any of them to get comfortable. To him, they're too eager, too predictable... too easy. He craves a challenge. Zanira Abba Yusuf, brilliant, stubborn, and fiercely competitive. She has no patience for men like Sardauna, and definitely no interest in being another name on his list. Her walls are sky-high, her standards even higher, and her pride? Unbreakable. Their paths cross in the most unlikely of circumstances, one that forces them to work together, compete, and clash. Sparks fly, but so do tempers. He's used to being admired. She's used to being underestimated. And neither of them is willing to lose. But the line between hatred and longing is thin. And when secrets start unraveling, Abdul Majeed begins to question everything he thought he wanted. Because for the first time, someone doesn't just challenge him... She shakes him. And maybe, just maybe, she's the one woman who can undo the legend of Sardauna.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
