ABOUT THIS BOOK
Description
Assassination Attempt in Riyadh
At the King Center Tower in Riyadh, a mysterious man sits silently in darkness, alert and calculating. Sensing movement, he discreetly pulls a pistol from under the table. He counts ten footsteps before a group of armed men burst in, firing wildly at the bed, assuming their target is there. But in a swift counterattack, the man—code-named Burkan (Volcano)—eliminates them all.
After calling emergency services to pick up the bodies, he changes his outfit and flees the scene on a power bike. Thirty minutes later, he arrives at a secure apartment complex, goes straight to the 5th floor, and enters an office. There, an elder Arab man—his superior—is furious at his failure. A tense exchange follows, with Burkan nearly assaulting him, demanding respect. He leaves, knowing one more failure means termination.
Power and Prestige in Abuja
In Asokoro, Abuja, a heavily guarded penthouse belongs to Ameera Mahmud, a powerful media executive. She is stunning, professional, and commands respect with every step. Her presence is graceful yet commanding. She dismisses a security guard for a minor fault, revealing her no-nonsense nature.
She shares a brief, flirty moment with her husband, Mahmud, before heading to News Buzz, her high-level media house.
Inside News Buzz Headquarters
At News Buzz, security and efficiency are paramount. Ameera is received by her staff, including her loyal secretary, Faith, and friend, Nisah. As they prepare for a major meeting, she reminds Nisah to relax and stop treating her so formally.
During the meeting, discussions revolve around weakening a competing businesswoman. Ameera plans to force her out as Chairwoman by buying more shares. Her motivation? To protect her father’s legacy, AK Group.
A shocking revelation also arises—evidence that a respected businessman, Sa'ad Wambai, is secretly a predator preying on young boys. Ameera refuses to watch the video but commands her team to dig deeper.
Secrets at AK Group
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of AK Group, Khadija—a younger executive—is being monitored. A senior female figure, possibly her stepmother or rival, questions her growing power. Her chief of security, Muktar, stays loyal to both women and refuses to betray either’s secrets.
He warns, however, that Khadija is not running an ordinary news agency—News Buzz is a powerful machine capable of controlling narratives and shaking governments. He suggests Khadija knows what she’s doing, possibly more than anyone else.
Motherhood Behind the Power
After work, Ameera personally picks up her young son, Zayn, from school. Their loving bond is clear—she cares deeply about his wellbeing. At home, she finds Mahmud relaxing, and their chemistry continues in sweet and humorous exchanges, including a shared bath scene and some gentle teasing.
Despite her tough exterior at work, at home she is warm, nurturing, and deeply affected by one thing—the mysterious boy in the hospital.
A Hidden Patient and a Broken Heart
Ameera visits Wellness Hospital, bypassing security to reach a special underground room. Inside lies a young boy on life support, hooked to machines that cost over ₦500,000 daily to maintain. She tends to him personally—cleans him, prays for him, and even paints nearby to find peace.
A curious nurse wonders why Ameera spends so much money and time on the boy, but the doctor shuts her down, protecting Ameera’s privacy.
The boy’s identity is unknown, but clearly, he means everything to her—so much that she breaks down emotionally after each visit.
A Love Under Strain
Mahmud, her husband, meets her at the gate as she returns from the hospital. He notices her drained energy and tries to comfort her. Despite their seemingly perfect relationship, she admits something is missing. Her heart isn't entirely with Mahmud.
Still, Mahmud is patient, understanding, and supportive. He’s done everything right, but he senses she is haunted by a past he cannot touch.
She collapses into a mild asthma attack, and he helps her recover. As always, she apologizes, promising this will be the last time she returns home in such a state. But will it?
