written before we met!

Afrah Sule's life was never simple. Since her father passed away, she's carried a weight she never asked for, balancing grief, responsibility, and the fragile hope that life could still feel normal. But when a stranger's threat turns her world upside down, everything she thought she knew about love, loyalty, and trust begins to unravel.

Muhammad - her childhood friend, someone she thought she understood, ends up in danger, and she can't ignore it. Every step she takes pulls her deeper into a web of secrets, lies, and an enemy she can't see but knows is watching.

Meanwhile, Imam, the one she thought she lost forever, is still in the shadows, blocked from her life, praying from afar, and slowly realizing that distance is not protection. Musa, her protective elder brother, and Asmau, her best friend with a heart she didn't know was hiding storms of its own, get caught in the chaos, their loyalty, courage, and hearts tested in ways they never expected.

In a world where trust can be deadly, hearts can be weaponized, and love doesn't always arrive when it's supposed to, Afrah must navigate threats, secrets, and her own feelings while discovering that sometimes, the one you think you've lost may be the one meant for you.

A story of suspense, slow-burn enemies-to-lovers, family bonds, and faith, where every choice matters and every heartbeat could be the difference between life and loss.
