abuja arewa arrangements hausa longdistance marriage nigeria north northern nothernnigeria slow slowburn

Amira never thought her father's old friend at the bank
would change the course of her life.

What began as family visits and polite conversations
soon pulled her into the orbit of Captain Ibrahim.

He was everything she was not expecting- 
calm, reserved, disciplined,
a man who spoke more in silence than in words.

She, on the other hand, wanted magic.
She dreamed of a love that looked like the movies.
But what she found was something else entirely-
an arrangement dressed as marriage.

Between family pressures, cultural clashes, and his unfinished past,
Amira learns that respect is not the same as love.

And Ibrahim must decide if silence can ever hold a heart,
or if love, once lost, is too fragile to be found again.All Rights Reserved

Bound by fire(Book II in the Bound series) by Theanonisho

Bound by Fire When ambition meets desire, something always burns. Fatima has spent years building a life on her own terms-sharp, successful, and unapologetically independent. She doesn't fall easily, especially not for men who command every room they enter. But Faruk Shagari isn't just any man. With a reputation for quiet dominance and unwavering focus, he makes her question everything she thought she knew about love, trust, and surrender. Their chemistry is undeniable, but love alone may not be enough. As the wedding draws near, it's not the past haunting them-but the choices they're making now. Faruk's need for control clashes with Fatima's fear of losing herself. Misunderstandings mount. Boundaries blur. And between two forces unwilling to bend, will love survive the fire-or feed it? Can two people used to leading learn how to love without overpowering each other? Can vulnerability exist where ego used to rule? In Bound by Fire, a smoldering standalone companion to Bound by Fate, love is not the softest thing in the room-but it might be the bravest.

When Silence Breaks (Hausa Story) by s4mvr4ii

They say a woman's success means nothing if she doesn't end up married. I used to laugh at that. Quietly. The kind of laughter that doesn't escape your lips, because you don't have time for arguments that go nowhere. My name is Ibtihal. I'm twenty-eight. I have two degrees, a corner office in Abuja, and enough money to make my own choices - or so I thought. But in a house where my mother prays more for my marriage than for my health, and my father treats every holiday like a matchmaking summit, my silence eventually became an agreement. Not because I was in love. Not even because I believed in the institution. But because I was tired. Tired of being the "too focused" one. The "still not married" one. The "career is not companionship" one. So I said yes. To a man I didn't know. A man who barely looked at me during the introduction. A man who, as I later found out, had someone else waiting for him - someone he actually loved. But he said yes too, because his uncle - the man who raised him after he lost his parents - asked him to. A year, we agreed. A year of pretending. No expectations. No intimacy. No emotional strings. Just two people performing tradition so the noise would stop. And I was fine with that. More than fine, actually. I didn't want love. I didn't want mess. I wanted space to breathe and be left alone. But then, something changed. It wasn't dramatic. There were no candlelit moments or sudden heartbeats. It was subtle - the way he started looking at me like I wasn't just a deal. The way my name sounded different coming from his lips. The way I began to notice his silence... and miss it when it wasn't there. I didn't mean to fall. And I don't think he meant to either. But here we are - trapped in a marriage neither of us wanted... now tangled in feelings neither of us planned for. And for the first time in my life, I'm not so sure I want to be left alone anymore.
