The opening scene of the saga story depicts a rich Nigerian family, the Baloguns, enjoying a Sunday afternoon meal in the luxurious Banana Island, Lagos. Despite being a powerful player in Nigerian politics, Chief Balogun is shown to be just like any other human, with flaws and imperfections. The scene serves to highlight the challenges that come with being a part of an affluent family and how this can affect perception. While the public may view the Baloguns as perfect, the reality is that they are a group of individuals with varied perspectives, beliefs, and values. Through the story, we get to see how they navigate their lives despite their differences and how they strive to maintain dominance in their political engagements while trying to live in a world that is different from what they are used to. It's a tale that explores the dynamics of family, politics, and life in a society where perfection is rare. {}Ranking on Wattpad{} #1 Screenplay. |17/10/2023 #1 Africanbooks. |17/10/2023 #1 Shortstortromance. |17/10/2023 # 3 Dramafiction. |17/10/2023 # 5 Relief. |17/10/2023 #6 Blackamerican. |17/10/2023 #6 Nigerianbooks. |17/10/2023 #10 Script. |17/10/2023 #11 Nigerianstories. |17/10/2023 #14 Hotlist. |17/10/2023 #21 Unitedkingdom. |17/10/2023 #85 Africanamerican. |17/10/2023 #89 Nigerianromance. |17/10/2023 #113 Wattpadauthors. |17/10/2023 #409 Generalfiction. |17/10/2023

It was a dangerous night for Squad 4or, as usual, mounted on a checkpoint by a road bordered by bushes on both sides. But, thieves, kidnappers, and bribery, they already strategized for, but what they saw...who they saw after mere little boys ambushed them, left the little boys dead and Agbo; a blooder in Squad 4or, stricken that he didn't sleep for four days; as something he loved doing, it was appalling he didn't touch his wife. The attack had left him tethering at the brink of life and death with three nuts lodged in lethal areas in his stomach, but the man they saw, who warned them never to say his name out loud, made him cross the line easily and his chest began to rise and fall again. That he could lie beside his wife and eat with his family, adding his only son, was appalling to him. His wife wouldn't understand. Touching her down there or having her nipple in his mouth wasn't even close to what he thought about. He thought about a man and he couldn't stop thinking about this man. This man who the book is about, this man who tells tales of his past life, this man who is strong, but always reminds Agbo that something is stronger. And dreadfully, that something was coming. It is also about me, the poor, sacrificial lamb, it is about me, the host of the Almighty.

"What is your predicament?" he repeated slowly I was getting pissed. My predicament is; I led my coworker and friend to an early grave, my fiancé if I dare call her that, was gallivanting around God knows where, doing God knows what. I had never even seen or held a gun all my life but in less than 48 hours I've somehow managed to stare down the barrel of a gun. I also endangered my family and anyone foolish enough to call me a friend and not too long ago I put an innocent woman, someone's grandmother in ICU. "What's your predicament?" Short legs asked again, spacing his words slowly as if each held a double meaning. My brain clicked suddenly; "I have delayed diagnosis" He nodded briefly. "Welcome. I'm Doctor Rasheed". ::::::::::::::::::::: Rex Obasi was just an average banker struggling to deal with his fiance dissapearing after eight years. In a crazed moment of greed, he steals valuable documents worth millions but there's something else in the mix; a piece of paper containing numbers - coordinates he doesn't understand. When the coordinates lead to a deadly human trafficking ring, operating under the guise of an N.G.O, Rex realizes he has stumbled on what is no doubt the most dangerous organized crime, operating since 1989. His life of deposit slips and checkbooks are turned upside down, now it's guns and bullets, knives and assassins. It's up to Rex to put an end to it, redeem his conscience, and just maybe he could get a second shot at love. But there's every possibility that a bullet is coming next.
