Amaka's heart was shattered when her ex cheated on her. Encouraged by her friends to get back out there, she reluctantly joins an online dating app-never expecting to match with a mysterious Korean guy, Jinwoo. What starts as awkward chats through a translator soon turns into late-night conversations, laughter, and confessions of feelings... despite the fact that they don't speak each other's language. They navigate miscommunications, cultural differences, and the chaos of long-distance love, but just when things seem perfect, a week-long silence shatters their fragile connection. Years later, after heartbreak, overthinking, and blocked messages, Jinwoo-now fluent in English-arrives in Lagos, determined to find the girl he never stopped loving. What happens when the boy from your online dreams shows up in real life? A story of love, language barriers, heartbreak, and the wild surprises life throws your way.

"You know, I'm feeling generous tonight, so I'll let you decide." He leaned in, his breath hot against my cheek. "Should I use my fingers, or would you rather feel this gun inside you instead?" He smirked, enjoying the way my body tensed. "Which will it be, princess? My hand, or a barrel full of bullets?" Tears burned my eyes, spilling hot down my cheeks. My breath came in shuddering gasps as I shook my head frantically, silent, pleading. "A loaded gun is far more thrilling than mere hands, don't you think?" he drawled. The barrel hovered just above my navel, pressing lightly, a reminder I could lose my life any second. ______________________________________ Adunni Agbaje never expected to spend valentine's day running for her dear life.

Aymaan Malik had everything-wealth, power, influence. As the only son of the president, he was adored by many, feared by most, and spoiled beyond repair. Arrogant, bossy, and cruel, Aymaan lived as though the world existed only to serve him. Then came Aiyanah-the clumsy, timid daughter of the household maid. She tried to stay unnoticed, blending into the walls of the grand Malik mansion, but her very existence seemed to irritate him. She was everything he wasn't: meek where he was commanding, naive where he was cunning. What began as mockery soon twisted into something darker, something Aymaan couldn't control-an obsession. The spoiled heir found himself drawn to the one girl who was supposed to remain invisible. And Aiyanah, caught between fear and an unfamiliar pull toward him, realized that escaping his grasp might be far more impossible than enduring it. In a world where power defined worth, could a fragile heart survive the obsession of a boy who had never been told "no"?
