The burden of expectations

The Burden of Expectations – A Novel Introduction In the heart of Nigeria, where tradition and modernity often collide, two lives are set on a course neither of them could have foreseen. Zahra Muhammad Aliyu has always known her path. The last daughter of one of Kano’s wealthiest families, she has spent her life cloaked in discipline, dignity, and the quiet burden of expectation. Her mother, ever doting, whispers prayers of success into her ears, while her father, a man too busy building an empire to look back, assumes she will never falter. Medicine is her calling, and excellence is her duty. There is no room for distraction. No room for deviation. No room for someone like Kevin chidera Ikechukwu. Kevin is everything Zahra is not. A nursing student by choice and a Casanova by reputation, he walks through life with an ease she cannot understand. Where Zahra sees duty, he sees freedom. Where she clings to faith, he tests his own beliefs. He is Igbo, Christian, and reckless—three reasons she should never cross paths with him. But fate is not so easily dictated. When Zahra arrives at Lagos University of Nigeria, she steps into a world that challenges everything she knows. And when an infuriating encounter with Kevin marks the beginning of their story, she realizes that some battles are fought not with words but with the unspoken weight of expectation, pride, and something even more dangerous—curiosity. This is not a love story. Not yet. This is a story of identity, faith, ambition, and the unpredictable ways the heart defies reason. And it all begins the moment Zahra and Kevin meet.

When he offers me a weird deal—to be his fake girlfriend for a month—the money is too good to refuse, but can my heart survive the bargain? What begins as a simple arrangement quickly turns into a tangled mess of desire and fear. As I get closer to Sebastian, the line between reality and the charade blurs, leaving me terrified of losing everything that matters most. But then I quickly realize that falling for this man could mean losing the only things I hold dear. Sebastian Hiring Isabelle Summers was supposed to be a straightforward arrangement—a job, nothing personal. But from the moment she stepped into my world, everything shifted.

So I make her a deal—be my fake girlfriend for a month to get my family off my back. Simple, right? Except nothing about Isabelle is simple. The more time I spend with her, the harder it is to keep my distance. What started as a calculated move is quickly spiraling into something I never expected, the walls I’ve built are beginning to crumble. And when she suddenly runs from me at a crucial moment of my life, I am left to wonder if I really know the woman I am hopelessly falling for.
