He ruled an empire. She challenged the man behind it.
Five families. Five empires. One world ruled by power.
In Northern Nigeria's elite circle, wealth is inherited, loyalty is bought, and every marriage is a business deal.
At just twenty-eight, Ziyad Adlam Maina is the youngest billionaire among the five ruling families. Cold, ruthless, and untouchable, he has spent years building an empire no one dares challenge.
Then Jumana walks into his life.
She refuses to fear him. He refuses to bend for anyone.
What begins as an arrangement meant to protect powerful legacies soon becomes a dangerous game of pride, passion, and betrayal. As old rivalries erupt and long-buried secrets threaten to destroy everything the elite have built, Ziyad and Jumana must decide what matters more...
Power. Legacy. Or love.
In the world of the elite, every smile hides a secret, every alliance has a price, and falling in love could cost everything.
