Everyone fears Damian Deluca - CEO of Deluca Industries and the Mafia king of Russia's underworld. No one knows his weakness... because he never reveals her. His wife, Avelina Rose. To him, she's everything he refuses to lose. To her, he's the monster who stole her dreams and locked her in a golden cage. But secrets don't stay buried forever. And when his darkness and her desires collide... their truth might ruin them both.

When ambition tastes like sin, who pays the price? In the corridors of Abuja's elite, Senator Damilare "Dami" Adeyemi stands on the brink of the presidency-a man groomed for greatness, adored by the masses, and feared by his enemies. But one forbidden night ignites a scandal that spirals into a national nightmare. She is Binta Yusuf, the beautiful, grieving wife of a decorated colonel. He is the rising star who should have stayed away. Their secret affair is a whisper that becomes a weapon, unleashing a storm of blackmail, betrayal, and bloodshed that threatens to bring down not just a man, but a nation. As leaked tapes rock the media, assassins stalk the streets of the capital, and Senate vultures circle, Dami must decide what matters more-his love for the woman who became his weakness, or the power that once defined him. But power is never surrendered; it is stolen, bargained, or buried with the dead. And in the shadows, a vengeful general, a cunning fixer, and a relentless journalist tighten the noose around his neck. From secret weddings to explosive hearings, from whispered hashtags to the echo of car bombs, this is a story of love twisted by ambition, betrayal bought with blood, and redemption paid at a devastating price. Will Dami rise again as a reformer-or return as a ghost of what power once made him? The Stain of Power is a masterful blend of political suspense, forbidden romance, and heart-stopping intrigue set against the volatile pulse of modern Nigeria. Every chapter bleeds with tension, passion, and the haunting truth: sometimes the cost of power is everything you ever loved.

His jawline is so sharp I'm sure it can cut through anything. "You hit me, spilling my coffee all over me," I say, pointing out the obvious. "So, what do you want me to do about it?" he asks, like he's done nothing wrong. "You're supposed to say sorry," I say in a duh tone. "And why should I?" "Because that's what people with manners do." "I know that, but you don't deserve a sorry from me." "Wow. And why is that?" "Because black bitches like you don't deserve it," he says with a sneer. "I have told you times without number to stop calling me that," I say, angry at his insults. "Make me," Ethan says, taking a dangerous step closer. I don't say anything but hiss and walk past him. I don't know why I expected him to apologize. It's Ethan, after all. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethan is a young male about to get his first degree, he might look normal to the world, but don't we all have our demons inside.
