love is like a drug, which either tames the heart or completely destroys it.
and the beauty of love is in its simplicity and also in its power to make even a daisy look like a blooming rose.
love is as warm as it is tragic.
and that's two truths that can co-exist without much of an argument
***
Omar Hassan is everything a man would want to be.
Successful, married to a beautiful and loving wife, rich, influential, and as it seems, he has his whole life figured out and is living it in the best way he possibly can.
But of course, even the most perfect things cannot remain perfect forever.
He thought he had escaped his tyrant father's antiques, but when Hassan plays the devil and toys with the life of a family dear to Omar's heart, his only path to save a man he considers a true father is a bitter one: marry the man's only daughter.
Zainab enters the luxurious Hassan home not as a bride, but as a prisoner of war, her fury a shield against the gilded cage. Her presence is a living earthquake for Rina, testing a marriage once thought unshakeable.
Now, under one roof, three wounded hearts are trapped in a war orchestrated by a vindictive patriarch. As alliances shift and unexpected connections form, they must choose: surrender to the chaos designed to break them, or unite to fight the true enemy.
While of course... having to deal with things and emotions they never expected from themselves.

HIS WIFE BY FORCE
Anwar was already moving toward her. "Anwar... don't," she whispered. His hand reached for her veil. She screamed, the sound tearing from her throat as panic took over. "Keep quiet!" he shouted, his voice thunderous, shaking the room. She fought back, pushing at his chest, struggling with everything she had. Fear made her hands shake, but she didn't stop resisting. Her breaths came fast and broken as she tried to escape his grip. his father's call came through and puts it on speaker. "What is happening there?" his father demanded. "Who is screaming like that?" Anwar didn't hesitate. "It's my wife-to-be." Nayara opened her mouth to speak, to scream for help-but Anwar's voice cut her off. "Stay quiet," he warned sharply. On the line, his father's voice exploded, ordering him to stop whatever he was doing. Anwar ignored him. Instead, he picked up his phone again and dialed another number. It rang twice. "Nayara?" her father's tense voice came through. "Where are you? Why aren't you home?" She tried to answer. "She's with me," Anwar said instead. There was a pause. "Who are you?" her father asked. "Her husband-to-be." "What nonsense is this?" her father snapped. Anwar's voice turned cold. "I don't have time. My father is on the line. I want to marry Nayara immediately." Both men started shouting at once through the speaker. Anwar leaned closer to Nayara, lowering his voice so only she could hear. "Tell him." She shook her head, tears filling her eyes. He raised his voice again. "I want her as my wife. Decide now." His father roared through the phone, furious, ordering him to step back. Anwar didn't move. "I'd rather touch her as my wife," he said calmly into the phone, "than do something I won't take responsibility for. If you refuse this marriage, don't expect me to change my mind." Nayara let out a broken scream. Her father's voice cracked as he demanded, "What do you want?" Anwar answered without hesitation. "Marry her to me. Now."Complete

Beautiful Woman
BEAUTIFUL WOMAN _________________________ I was confused as to why they were making such noises. A girl was being dragged with a tyre around her. "She stole my five thousand naira." A woman shouted. Five thousand naira, I thought. Oh no, Nene has five thousand. I went further towards the crowd to see kerosene being poured on the girl. The girl was my Nene. "She's not a thief!" I screamed. "Please don't burn her. Let's resolve this, please." "No, she's a thief." The woman who claimed her money had been stolen said. "Ma, you're mistaken. My sister, didn't steal your money. Please tell them to stop. They'll kill my sister." "Sister, help me!" Nene shouted. I saw fear in her eyes, the spirit of death was hovering around my sister. "Please beg them to stop, please." __________________________________ Was Rosanna meant to cry, to suffer and to beg for mercy? Was her life meant to be filled with pain? How will all this end?
