18+ only! πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯ | Toyin was living her best life! She had the perfect job with an Oil Major, amazing friends, a suitor and a fabulous apartment with a view of the Atlantic Ocean. Life was good until an unexpected breakup led her to the hot but NFA (No Future Ambition) Osaze. An odd pairing which helps her discover herself nonetheless. 🌴 Osaze didn't know what he was doing with his life anymore. He spontaneously quit his dream job as a top programmer with Google 3 years ago, moved back to Nigeria to start up his own tech company but failed miserably, was swindled out of his own code by ruthless business partners and is left with a million dollar debt to pay back to his investors. He now squats with a childhood friend in a dilapidated mansion (which is on the market by the way) and drinks his failure away in Lagos bars. When he meets Toyin, a young high flying oil & gas exec who has her own life together he starts to reevaluate his whole existence.

"They say life experiences can either make or mar a person. Well for me, it was both. Being broken and repaired, experiencing different emotions, as though I'm an emotional arcade. Life went through me, leaving scars and stars." She chuckled lightly, reminiscing her beloved. "And if you were asked to describe your life in a sentence..." She adjusted slightly on her seat. Fondling with the straps of her black spaghetti top and feigning confidence in her posture, she gave her answer. "I'd describe my life as a bed of roses, only, with so many thorns." "I guess that makes you a scarred beautiful thorned rose." β™§ β™§ β™§ Life is like a game, same as love. One wrong move, and you're done for. Well what wrong move could Sewa have done in this beautiful game of love and life? What wrong move could she have played in her emotional arcade? β™§ β™§ β™§ Started; 7 February 2022

Nsikan isn't just our clichΓ© high school girl. In fact, she's as normal as they get. An average look, an average brain, and an average way of reasoning. With two amazing best friends she's supposed to be the center of attention right? Wrong, but she did gain some attention. Nsikan miraculously found a way to gain the Trix's attention despite her trying to be a wallflower which turned out to be a complete failure. Aside from that, she manages to gain the attention of the most attractive boy in school, but not in a good way. To Damian, Nsikan is weird. He sometimes wonders if her brain functions differently from every other human. Irrespective of being bullied on a few occasions, he realizes Nsikan still finds ways to smile and act silly and he found that strange. Damian and Nsikan might be two opposite individuals, but will there be something to learn from each other?
