On the day Humaira Anoze Umar is sexually assaulted in the neighbourhood mosque by the Mallam she revered the most, she turns to her family for help and solace. The last thing she expects is for her family to take his words over hers and then drag her back to the place where the nightmare she’d endured is brought back to life. Forced to make a decision for her future, Humaira gets help from a person she least expects and she manages to pull her life back together, far away from the place she’d once been happy to call home. Years later, when she discovers her assaulter is seeking a political position he doesn’t deserve, she makes it her mission to ensure he doesn’t get it, no matter how far she has to go to kill his big dream. ❀ When Tariq Hussain randomly picks up a file on the day the law firm screens for new employees, he doesn’t expect it to belong to a woman named Humaira who intrigues him in ways he can’t understand and has a backstory he feels there’s more to. They work together as the perfect team and like a moth to a flame, Tariq cannot stay away, especially when he starts to notice the cracks in her façade that give him glimpses into a past whose entirety he wasn’t ready for. For Tariq, helping Humaira is the only right thing to do but the stakes have never been so high and there has never been so much to lose. Although the end goal is victory and ensuring that justice is served, Tariq has to ensure that they stay together, regardless of what’s thrown their way, no matter what it’s going to take.
