One viral video. Two powerful families. One vow that was never meant to be made.
Inayah Muhammad has spent years fighting for one thing: freedom. Freedom to finish university. Freedom to build the life she dreams of. Freedom from the past she's spent years trying to escape.
Then, in a single afternoon, everything falls apart.
A scandal sweeps through Abuja, turning her into the city's newest headline. With her reputation in ruins and danger waiting beyond her family's gates, Inayah is left with an impossible choice.
Taheer Abubakar never lets emotions dictate his decisions. A respected lawyer from one of Abuja's most influential families, his future has always been carefully planned-until one unexpected decision changes the course of his life forever.
Now, bound by circumstances neither of them chose, two strangers must navigate a marriage built on duty instead of love, trust instead of truth, and promises neither of them ever intended to make.
But some secrets refuse to stay buried.
And when the truth behind that unforgettable afternoon begins to surface, they discover that surviving the scandal was only the beginning.
Because the hardest vows to keep... are the ones that were never written.

Opposites Attract.
Copyright © 2024. A not-so-straightforward love story. The saying "opposites attract" is used to say that people who are very different from each other, in terms of personality or interests are often drawn to each other. The said saying describes two hearts; Khalil Ahmad Sambo and Ameera Bukar Babangida. Khalil Ahmad Sambo, a civil engineer full of optimism, an outgoing individual with a benign aura. He is the man who wears his heart on his sleeve, and his smile is the most visible part. Yet, his standards and values are unwavering when necessary. Ameera Babangida, a reserved, ambivalent, and determined young adult with a pretty normal life, surrounded by loving family and friends and working at a well-known company as an architect, her life is simple. One could say that she rarely, or never even pays attention to anything outside her career and family. Until a trip to Kaduna changed everything in her own little bubble for her. But what if that saying goes beyond the two? Started: 6|10|24 Completed:

STRAIGHTENED AFFECTION (PREVIEW)✅
The link on my bio to grab the complete book! Sabira Idris Turaki never imagined that after everything she and her husband endured, the years of struggle, pride, misunderstandings, and silent sacrifices, she would lose him just when love finally began to feel steady. It was love. But it came too late. Umar Faruq Bello's death was ruled an unfortunate encounter. A sealed report. A carefully arranged narrative crafted by those who understand that power protects power. Grief has barely settled when two men enter her life. Abubakar Sadiq Bello is the twin who was sent away as a boy for refusing to bend to Dada's authority. The son who learned early that defiance comes with exile. The brother who built himself into something formidable, strategic, and untouchable. If Faruq was warmth, Sadiq is fire. If Faruq was softness, Sadiq is the rock. Sadiq wants revenge for the only brother who stood by him when no one else did. Then there is Zaid. A man who wants the prize he has yet to win. Faruq's death did not satisfy him. It was far from over. A marriage of convenience brings Sabira together with Sadiq. What begins as strategy slowly becomes something far more dangerous. Proximity awakens emotions neither of them expected. Their journey unfolds in stages. Attraction, attachment, trust, love, worship. A return to faith. A rediscovery of themselves. Sadiq is morally grey. Calculated. A man who understands power and is not afraid to use it. Revenge tempts him. Control comforts him. Softness does not come naturally. Sabira, no longer the woman she once was, refuses to be conquered. She demands respect, sincerity, and growth. Between vengeance and vulnerability, political silence and family loyalty, dominance and surrender, they begin to change. Together, they learn how to lead and raise their family with intention, care, and love.
