One Year Gap

Ihsan's pleas fall on deaf ears as her guardians dictate every aspect of her life—from her wardrobe to her education. Desperate for autonomy, she makes one final request, only to flee to her room in tears when dismissed.

Her Daada's ultimatum arrives like thunder: study abroad, but only as a married woman. The groom? Sadeeq, Alhaji Mustapha's son—a billionaire studying in Qatar who's barely a year older than her. At nineteen, he's hardly the man she envisions sharing her life with, yet the promise of freedom dangles within reach.

Ihsan stands at a crossroads, torn between her yearning for independence and her reluctance to marry someone she barely respects. A contract marriage to escape her suffocating reality. A year's age gap that suddenly feels like an ocean. The question haunts her: can a forced union become something genuine?

As Ihsan navigates marriage, education, and self-discovery in a foreign land, she'll discover that sometimes the greatest barriers aren't age or circumstance—they're the walls we build around our hearts. What begins as a desperate gamble transforms into an unexpected journey of love, growth, and finding her voice.

A rollercoaster of romance, rebellion, and redemption awaits.
