ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The narrative centers on Zoya, a stunning but arrogant 17-year-old girl who has been raised in opulence and groomed by her manipulative aunt, Aunty Yana, and her grandmother, Yayyah. Years ago, Zoya’s father, Alhaji Abbas, was coerced into divorcing his wife, Rumanah, due to his family’s extreme prejudice against her Fulani heritage. Zoya was forcibly taken from her mother as an infant and brainwashed to believe that Rumanah never loved her and is a "lowly" person.

The contrast is drawn between Zoya's sheltered, wealthy life and the resilience of her mother. After being cast out, Rumanah was saved by a mysterious benefactor named Umaimah, who provided her with the capital to build a successful perfume empire. Despite her success, the family continues to slander her, labeling her as a common servant or a criminal to keep Zoya from seeking her out. The arrival of Jawaheer the sister Zoya never knew into the family mansion as a "servant" sets the stage for a dramatic clash between pride and truth. A romantic subplot involving Abutturab, a wealthy doctor from Egypt, adds further tension as Zoya’s obsession with him remains unrequited.
