Architect Stories

AN 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."

Can you fall in love with the same person twice? They built a home together. Somewhere along the way, they forgot how to live in it.

But somewhere between arguments, late-night planning and unexpected moments of understanding, things begin to change.

The girl he thought was chaotic and unpredictable becomes the one person who sees past his confidence and the life he has carefully built. But falling in love is never simple not when family expectations, personal rivals, old relationships and buried insecurities threaten to stand between them.

Nothing is bound to be perfect. Nothing is bound to remain as secret. Relationships won't remain unshaken when wounds from the past resurfaces--especially when the heart still aches for them despite having you in the present. And sometimes, the heart that still beats for another person fails to recognize who was there until they were gone. Until it was Raine who was gone. When Azrallai realized what he has done, what he had lost, nothing can make up for it. Everything fell apart and what's left seemed impossible to patch up. Guilt and regret creeps in, haunting worst than nightmares. Because in life, some things can't be fixed once shattered. A heart that loved purely, trust given willingly, and neverending understanding are some of the things we can't get fixed once broken. Azra had to learn it the hard way.

Why do you remind me of someone so close to my heart?" his voice made me flinch at my feet, but I could not show him. "I don't know what you are talking about...." "Are you sure?" he smirked, before flipping my parents' photograph in front of me. And there I stood, hopelessly, helplessly, falling into his trap. "Tum Shivanya nahi...tum...meri Shivika ho..." he said, before I gazed at him, my eyes welled up in tears. I can't. I can't break in front of him. Not again. (You are not Shivanya...you are my Shivika....") 🚫"Because you are NOT allowed to fall in love with your enemy."🚫 ___________________________________________ This war is no longer just about revenge. It's about a love that should have died years ago, but refuses to be buried. Read "SHIVANYA: His lost love" to witness the biggest clash of love ever. [Weekly updates]

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.

But what if that saying goes beyond the two? Started: 6|10|24 Completed:
