She had a father. She just never had him. 🔥🔥 My name is Amara Okafor. But my father calls me "that girl from Lagos." For sixteen years I managed. Managed without birthday calls. Managed without PTA meetings. Managed the silence of a man who lives... but acts like he's dead. Then at 12:01 a.m., my phone vibrated. *Unknown Number:* "Hi. Sorry for bothering you this late. Can I ask you something weird?" Weird became war. Because the girl on the other side has my father's nose. My father's smile. My father's last name. She's his American princess. I'm his Lagos mistake. *BLACK AND WHITE* is the story of two daughters. One name. Two worlds. One war for a father's love. Lagos struggles. Diaspora privilege. Colorism that cuts deeper than skin. Told in Amara's raw voice. If you've ever asked "Why wasn't I enough?"... Amara is asking it with you. *_Vote ⭐ if her pain feels like yours. Comment 💬 if you're Team Amara 🇳🇬 or Team Aurora 🇺🇸. Add to list 📚 because this war is just starting.__ _Don Lhee writes the stories we hide in our chest._ P.S. Judges, readers, sisters... you're all welcome to this war 👑

A stranger with laughter sharp as sunlight. A silence that grew roots. A friendship that didn't ask for romance-until love arrived anyway. Told in lyrical fragments pulled from my real life, this is a true story of how teasing led to trust, how hesitation became love, and how one connection turned into vows. Every stanza carries a heartbeat, a delay, and the kind of warmth that only comes from lived experience. This isn't just poetry-it's memory in motion. I didn't just write this. I lived it.

Tamunoemi has always been the one who walks away first. She's never been the girl who gets played. Until she is. After discovering the man she loved was living three different lives simultaneously, Tammy picks herself up the only way she knows how - a new story posted, a new face in her replies and a quiet, stubborn determination to find her way back to herself. Osaze comes easy. Charming and distant in equal measure, he's exactly the distraction she needs. But then there's Eyi. And Eyi is something else entirely. Pure Wonder is a story about a girl who had everything figured out. Until she didn't. About losing yourself in someone else and finding something better on the other side. About the men who break you, the ones who confuse you and the one who makes you question everything you thought you knew about yourself. Some people come into your life and leave fingerprints on everything. This is that story. UPDATE SCHEDULE Every Wednesday and Sunday. Follow the story so you never miss a chapter.

I am Chiedza. I don't remember my real Amai. All I know is that one day, a long long time ago, when I was just but a little girl, there had been sad and mournful singing at our house. I vaguely remember people coming to pat my back or hug me to their bosoms, whispering, "It'll be alright." I remember, vaguely too, their whispers, "He is a man. How will he take care of a young girl on his own?" I also remember standing by the mound of soil that had hugged and hidden my real Amai, my hand in Baba's, and Baba crying. But as for my real Amai, I remember nothing. Not her scent. Not her laughter. Not her voice. Nothing. Almost as if she never existed.

Helena felt goosebumps all over her body and even stifled out a moan when he pushed up into her groin with his hips. "Mmm, don't you look delicious tonight." He mumbled more to himself and ran his hand into her hair and then down to her face before pausing to run his thumb over her bottom lip. He stopped for a moment, as if imagining scenarios of what he could do to her before lowering his hand down to lift her chin up. He shifted his hips into her again purposely and then lowered his top half to lightly kiss her neck. It was a breathless kiss, just enough for her to feel the heat of his lips on her skin. As a college girl, paying tuition has always been a difficult task. Especially if you've been living in a disgusting motel most of your school life just to make ends meet! Helena Martin was determined to take any job given to her, no matter how degrading it was. The only problem was, no one was biting! Not until she snagged an interview at Daville Manor where she would be a house maid for a loving couple in a gigantic mansion. The misses had one main rule. DO NOT SLEEP WITH HER HUSBAND. That's easy enough right? That's what Helena thought until she met Liam Reider in person. Will Helena be able to avoid falling for the sir's dashing good looks and suave charm or will her heart be stolen and be swept away like all the other maid's who worked for him?
