Hola, mi amigos!
Thank you so much for clicking on my book and deciding to read it.
I'm new to Wattpad, so I would really appreciate it, if I can get all the love and respect I deserve.
This book is a Mafia romance. I came up with the idea of this book at the age of thirteen, which was five years ago. I mainly came up with it because all I ever read about Mafia stories on Wattpad was arranged marriages, forced proximity, big, bad giant Mafia Dons and innocent girls or big bad Mafia Dons and badass bitches sent to kill them.
So I thought... what if instead of an arranged marriage, they are enemies, rivals who grew up hating each other without even knowing the reason why? And what if, instead of starting out as love-at-first-sighters, they were strangers who had a night of thorough, rough, kinky and extremely mature sex? What if, they were rivals who could no matter what, stay five feet next to each other, let alone be together, date, fall for each other?
And that's how I came up with this story. It was supposed to be the only one, but I've now decided to make it a series. This is the first book.
But then, just a day before I published this book, I was involved in a ghastly accident in my country, Nigeria.
I lost everyone, except my grandmother.
Two years later, we moved here, to the States where I started out a new life.
I don't know why I've been scared to write on Wattpad since, I didn't even download it. But I was speaking to my therapist earlier this year, and she asked me, what were those things that made me happy? And so I told her.
Painting. Ice skating. Cooking with my grandmother. Baking.Watching kdramas.Watching movies and series. Listening to music. Listening to podcasts. TikTok. Playing video games. Reading the Quran. Going to church. Helping people out, especially old and less privileged. Reading books. Astronomy. And finally... Wattpad.
She then asked me, why Wattpad?
I couldn't explain. But I just knew, I had this feeling, this happiness that bubbled up inside me then, before the accident. But after it, it's like I just locked it up. And I knew, I just knew for a fact that it could only be, fucking Wattpad.
So she suggested I go back to it. I declined. I was scared to release that happiness. I was scared that if I did, bad things would happen. I guess I overthink a lot, but that's just what happens when you survive being submerged deep inside water in a sinking minivan, with your entire family of seven inside it.
But then, last month, she got me thinking back. She asked if I started writing or reading on Wattpad. I told her no.
And she smiled. She literally fucking smiled. She downloaded Wattpad on her iPad, and lended the iPad to me, asking me to sign in and read just for a week, to see if anything would change about me.
Two nights later, I did as she asked.
And my life hasn't been the same since then. I read dark books, humor, romance, new adult, fanfics, horror, whatever you name.
I was finally... happy. Wattpad is my happy place. The happiness I hadn't felt since the evening I woke up from an eight months coma, just. Opened.
So after a lot of thought, I decided, to start writing again.
I was mainly inspired by the following writers;
@Fudgecakexox
@__julieee
@_Dark_romantic
@SweetCossette
@_himeros_
@koolkenz
@TheFeveredBookaholic
@ScarlettBlackDaisy
@ofbrowsandcakesI have some of their books in my library and my private reading lists. I will create a reading list for them soon.
So in conclusion, this is coming from a girl who took everything in her to start her journey on Wattpad again.
A LITTLE NOTE:
_________
Mature audiences only.
_________I'm not going to lie and say I'm not sensitive and shit, bro, I'm the most sensitive person on earth. So watch the shit you say here. I may be sensitive, but I'm not soft, I can blast you while crying my heart out.
__________
There is no perfect story. This story and my characters will have flaws. But that's what makes it real. That's what makes it authentic. As humans, we all have our flaws, so it would only be wrong of me not to add at least one flaw in each character that'll make you wish you had a gun so you could blast their heads off. So yeah, they'll annoy you.
_________
I don't have an update schedule.
_________
I'll edit this book when I'm done with it. Not while I'm writing it. So please bear with me.
________
Did I mention that I'm currently studying astronomy in college? So it might take some time before I update.
________
Please, if you don't like something or a chapter or the way a character is acting, say so. Nicely. Constructive criticism is the best way to help a writer grow. Telling people the truth, bluntly, yet in the nicest way ever, is the only way you can help them succeed and move forward.
__________
You might not know it, but every comment counts. I don't have a lot of followers yet so I don't know how I'll even get reads. But the reads don't actually matter, it's the readers, the love and support, the care, the comments. So even if I have only two reads, I'll cherish it, take it with me to the grave. So please comment. If you don't like something, if you do, if you have suggestions, whatever, just comment. Thank you.
__________
Thank you for reading. Don't forget to vote, comment and share with your friends. I love you.

*P.S I cried a lot while writing that brief STORY OF MY LIFE lmaoo. It's actually not funny. Idk why I just- nvm.
Read on amigos!
