*please I wrote this story at 16/17. I'm 28 and I crying because I would rewrite this in a heartbeat especially coz I sound crazy* so read with caution* I fell in love. I fell in love with a fairytale. Oh Yes I did. You know that one story that gives every little girl hope out there that good things comes to those who wait even in rare but simple gems like a glass slipper. This hope carried me far and beyond. It's a fairytale that is relatable to any prospect of life. There will be your evil stepmother and evil stepsisters, your fairy godmother and your one true prince. It is a fairytale that understands the element of surprise: That what we seek can sometimes appear right in front of us without knocking on our doors. Most especially, it's a fairytale that understand the importance of love: A true prince may not come in shape of perfection but regardless of the imperfections and flaws, he would still remain perfect in your eyes. Regardless of its flaws, Africa was my father and Nigeria was my prince. Africa was my birthplace, born to the greatest warriors on the planet: Shaka Zulu, Nelson Mandela, Cleopatra, Kofi Annan even Didier Drogba the famous footballer. Most especially it was my home. It was the place I learnt to walk, talk, run and now 200000 feet above the ground I look down at my home. Little lights flickering everywhere like fireflies contrasting with the dark night. Maybe one day I will come back to my father. My prince. My Ile.

There's no better love than self love. So say something nice about yourself today, queen. And king. 👑👑👑

"Is my soul too dark for you, Soel?" His voice softened, a whisper on the edge of the night, he asked, shadows pooling in his eyes, the kind that held secrets older than the city itself. ✧ Soel Sinclair has spent the last six years building a life on her own terms. At 23, she runs a thriving design company, wears confidence like her favorite jacket, and has tucked away the girl she used to be-the one who believed in fate and first loves. But some shadows are harder to outrun, and no shadow is darker than The Vampirez. The band's music was the soundtrack to her youth, their enigmatic lead singer, Hael, the face of every daydream. One night, one chance encounter, and then he vanished-until now. What Soel doesn't know is that Hael is more than a rockstar. He is a vampire, centuries old, living under ancient laws that make loving a human a dangerous game. He has watched her from afar, his secret world brushing against hers, knowing that one misstep could unravel them both. When their paths cross again, the line between reality and myth blurs. As Soel is drawn deeper into Hael's orbit, she begins to sense the secrets beneath his skin and the darkness that comes with them. But with every truth uncovered, the dangers multiply, and the choice between love and safety becomes razor thin. Some rules are meant to be broken. But breaking them could cost everything.
