Umaiyrah Abdulmalik is soft like lavender-quiet, graceful, and content with living a simple life in Gwagwalada. Between supporting her family, planning events, and finding peace in routine, she has no room for the chaos of Abuja's elite world.
Until the day she walks into a penthouse lounge in Maitama...
and meets Zayd Yusuf Abubakar
He smells of oud-rich, warm, and dangerously unforgettable.
A multi-billionaire energy mogul with hazel eyes, a calm voice, and a presence that shifts the air around him. Zayd is the kind of man people whisper about powerful, quiet, and impossible to reach.
But for reasons even he can't explain...
he can't look away from the modest event planner who carries herself like she doesn't know her own beauty.
Their worlds clash-soft and strong, lavender and oud.
She wants simplicity.
He lives in luxury.
She plans events.
He plans empires.
Yet destiny weaves their paths together, drawing them into a slow-burning connection neither of them saw coming.
In a city where status speaks louder than hearts, can a gentle girl from Gwagwalada and Abuja's quiet billionaire find a love that feels like home?

The Spoiled Heir's Obsession.
Aymaan Malik had everything-wealth, power, influence. As the only son of the president, he was adored by many, feared by most, and spoiled beyond repair. Arrogant, bossy, and cruel, Aymaan lived as though the world existed only to serve him. Then came Aiyanah-the clumsy, timid daughter of the household maid. She tried to stay unnoticed, blending into the walls of the grand Malik mansion, but her very existence seemed to irritate him. She was everything he wasn't: meek where he was commanding, naive where he was cunning. What began as mockery soon twisted into something darker, something Aymaan couldn't control-an obsession. The spoiled heir found himself drawn to the one girl who was supposed to remain invisible. And Aiyanah, caught between fear and an unfamiliar pull toward him, realized that escaping his grasp might be far more impossible than enduring it. In a world where power defined worth, could a fragile heart survive the obsession of a boy who had never been told "no"?Complete

The Distance Between Us
Fatima has been through everything-from a failed marriage to a crippling lack of confidence. She thought she had all the time in the world to figure out her feelings for Mustapha Ibrahim. But when things became too real, too overwhelming, she chose distance over confrontation. Now, time is no longer a luxury-Mustapha is sick, and the man who once seemed invincible is slipping away. Once celebrated as one of Nigeria's brightest young architects, Mustapha built his career with unwavering confidence. He had it all-success, admiration, and the quiet hope that Fatima would one day be his. But life had other plans. His diagnosis changed everything, stripping him of control and forcing him to confront a future he never envisioned. Now, with fate pressing down on them, Fatima returns-determined to make amends and hold onto whatever is left of him. But Mustapha has already let go. He refuses to tether her to a love that may not last, to a future that might end before it truly begins. Yet, despite the walls he builds, Fatima refuses to walk away again. As emotions unravel and the weight of unspoken words hangs between them, they must face the truth-love alone cannot change fate, but it can redefine the moments they have left. A heart-wrenching story of love, regret, and the battle between holding on and letting go. This is "The Distance Between Us"
