This story follows the lives of two prestigious Northern families-one that earned its place, and one that can't afford to lose it.

Salma Babajo-skillfully veiled, conflicted, and fiercely proud-has always idolized her father. But he lives by one rule: if you burn the midnight oil to secure something, you hold onto it by hook or by crook. Salma wears her last name like a badge, oblivious to the cracks beneath; until the secrets start to surface.

Kabir Yabo is everything Salma is not-reserved, steady, and willing to bend to societal expectations. He tiptoes through life, careful not to step out of line. They have nothing in common... except for a fate neither of them sees coming.

But what happens when the perfect son collides with the girl who plays by her own rules? And when what's expected threatens to overpower what's real? Will they fight to protect the illusion they were raised to uphold-or risk everything for a love that was never part of the plan?All Rights Reserved

PRESIDENT'S SON AND I by Aishatuh_M

I have a secret obsession. You probably may wonder why it's a secret when I've made it pretty obvious on the gram. Everyone knows about my obsession, well, except him, of course. And the universe seemed to be on my side the day I got to be his maid for a few hours. Only that, I've never expected that a day that started so amazing could end so badly. I've never expected that I'd regret seeing him that day. Or that I'd end up hating him and avowing never to forgive him for the rest of my life. But destiny has a funny way of twisting with lives; just like it has twisted with me. And I ended up not just a maid for a day for him, but a live-in maid! And just when I thought I've hated him enough not to be fascinated by him, the universe showed me that I haven't even loved him enough. And he turned out not to be the person I thought he was. Breaking all those walls I've carefully built around my heart to crash without even trying to. Making me fall harder in love with him-just that this time, even though I knew that I'd never have a chance with the President's Son, it couldn't have been clearer. I loved him, but he had someone else. Carrying the little self esteem I have, I took the leapt of being with someone else. But...could I really live without the President's Son? Is the secret I'm hiding, meddled with the hatred of him that I buried in my heart, be an opener to something beautiful...or worse? Maybe Zafir's Story and I would be an epic lovestory. Maybe not. --- Preview Chapters Only!

PARALLEL HEARTS by gimbiya_reads

*A thrilling arewa slow burn... ©2025 all rights reserved --- Aisha Hassan Saeed never planned to work for a man like Sudais Abubakar Muhammad - the meticulous, intimidating CEO who somehow manages to stress her, confuse her, and fascinate her all at once. She's outspoken, funny, and full of trouble. He's controlled, calculating, and impossible to read. They clash in the office, argue over little things, and pretend they can't stand each other. But underneath the sarcasm, the quiet looks, and the unspoken tension... something is shifting. This is a slow-burn story about a boss who swears he doesn't care, a PA who swears she can't be bothered, and the undeniable pull between two people who were never supposed to get close - yet somehow keep finding their way back to each other. --- ~"An image of complexity, painted in the subtilities of black and gray."

The days we didn't know by maryam_d

Hi, this is completely a fictional story about khadija and Muhammad's love story. They didn't fall in love at first sight... in fact, they weren't even meant to. It all started with an arrangement, a decision made for them by their parents but of course with their consents. Muhammad was distant, calm, unreadable... the kind of man whose silence says more than words. While Khadija was soft, patient, the kind of woman who could love quietly and still burn for him in every heartbeat. Days turned into months, cold glances into accidental warmth, and somewhere between her unspoken hopes and hidden feelings, love began to bloom... messy, confusing, but real. He wasn't easy to love, and she wasn't easy to forget. Together they became something rare... a story that feels like home and heartbreak at the same time. But love like this... it never comes without a price. This story isn't just about marriage. It's about timing, fate, and the kind of love that refuses to die... even when one of them might. 💌Author's Note Hey, I'm Maryam. This isn't my first time writing, but it's the first story I'm sharing here. It's close to my heart... a mix of love, pain, patience, and everything in between. I hope you feel something real while reading it. Have fun reading it lovelies💞

Crossed worlds by __ayshrh

Crossed Worlds is a tale of forbidden longing and unexpected connection between two unlikely souls. Suraiyah, a poised and privileged 37-year-old Muslim woman from Northern Nigeria, has always lived within the strict borders of tradition and duty. Femi, a fiercely independent 28-year-old farmer from Osun State, has carved out a life of quiet ambition and grounded resilience on the outskirts of Abuja. When their worlds collide-hers polished and constricted, his earthy and free-a spark ignites that neither of them can ignore. But love between them isn't just complicated by age, background, and religion-it's a threat to everything they were raised to believe in. As they navigate gossip, judgment, and the weight of their pasts, Crossed Worlds asks: Can love survive where cultures clash and expectations suffocate? Or is desire between them just a beautiful rebellion doomed to burn out?

Sabrina, with a heart steeled by sorrow, faces the man who obliterated her happiness. Her vengeance is a ballet of precision and pain, each move echoing the love that was stolen from her. Their paths converge in a crescendo of retribution, a dance of merciless revenge. The city trembles under the weight of their fury, a landscape forever altered by their relentless pursuit of justice. As dawn breaks, the sisters stand as titans, their spirits unchained, their hearts unyielding.

THE HEARTS REAWAKENING by aishatu_xx

Copyright© 2020. All rights reserved. She sat on her bed thinking how on earth is she to get married at the tender age of sixteen. Not marrying any ordinary person, but the youngest prince. He is also just nineteen years old and to her, he is still a young boy growing just like she is. Poignant you might say? She thought at that age, she will be thinking about which university to choose amongst all the universities in the country but no. She is now going to start thinking about what to cook before her husband gets home and how to dress for the day as a Royal. Jumbled right? That is not half the story. She got divorced a day after their marriage the reason known to her clearly but she refuse to take fault. Brutal in your mind isn't it? No, the fact that she needs to work in the same palace she's left as a married woman to get something in her stomach is the trouble. How can she cope working in her ex-husband's Chamber? She also didn't know that the position she started working hard for would be taken away from her just like that in a blink of an eye. He got everything he's wanted and more. That is when she thought about stepping up in her game. He should know who he is dealing with and she is no more young, she is a woman now.
