YOURS,Nuwaira

She had always been there-brilliant, beautiful, unstoppable. Yet he never truly saw her.

Adil never wanted Nuwaira; he wanted the version he had invented-careless, familiar, easy to dismiss.

When he says, "Coming from someone who has dated half of Abuja," it is said with certainty, not cruelty.

When she replies, "You chased me while loving another woman. You don't get to judge me," it is without apology.

Nuwaira is admired everywhere she goes-a celebrated fashion designer, charming, untouchable. Yet she never gave Adil more than polite greetings and distant small talk.

At thirty-one, unmarried and unwavering, she carries the weight of expectations she never asked for-a life measured by timelines she refuses to obey.

They are not meant to want each other. Not after assumptions, silence, and distance.

But desire is persistent. And proximity is unforgiving.

As judgment softens and restraint begins to fracture, Adil is forced to confront the woman he never truly saw-and the cost of realizing too late that she was always worth noticing.

Yours, Nuwaira is a dark, slow-burn romance about misjudgment, cultural expectation, and a love that emerges quietly but inevitably-when seeing replaces assumption.
