BONTYYY
In a palace ruled by tradition, silence is obedience-and wives do not speak.
At just 20
years old, Mazeedah Dan Musa, one of a set of triplets, is married to Sameer-the king of tomorrow.
Not out of love, but through pressure from her late father's brother.
She accepts the marriage and tells her mother and siblings she was not forced-that she chose it willingly.
But in her heart, she knows the truth: she agreed so none of her siblings would have to take her place.
When Mazeedah becomes the wife of the king of tomorrow, she is expected to bow, accept, and remain silent.
To blend into walls of gold, power, and unchallenged tradition.
But Mazeedah is not built for silence.
She will not kneel.
She will not beg.
And she will not accept mistreatment.
In a palace where no woman has ever said no-
Mazeedah does.
And she stands her ground.
On the Other Side of the Throne
Muhammad Sameer saraki, 33 years old, is a successful businessman and the king of tomorrow.
A twin who lost his other half on the very day of their naming.
He also lost his mother-and a younger brother who vanished without a trace.
Loss shaped him early, leaving him and his younger sister Ameera to grow up without their twins.
They are raised under the care of Fulani Maryam, their stepmother-
a woman who treats them like her own... yet whose smiles hide stories untold.
Sameer and his younger sister Ameera grew up believing their mother abandoned them-that she ran away, that she did not love them.
That wound shaped their hearts, turning grief into resentment and silence into armor.
