Tari Ibiyemi and Lani Olaere were highschool sweethearts. The embodiment of the term, 'Young Love' that adored one another unconditionally until Tari fell prey to the cliché vice of breaking Lani's heart, thus killing their ideal relationship. Or so, the world was made to believe as this tale was only a facade worn-a lie told to debunk the curiosity of their peers. After a decade of silence since their bitter squabble, they meet again in present day at a juncture of great compromise that restricts them from pulling out to maintain their distance. With Tari overseeing the resulting project as the acclaimed architect he is and Lani taking action to fill in the role of an enterprising interior designer-they'd find it impossible to sound the death knoll on their resurgent mutual emotions and the zeal to keep their relationship purely platonic. Although, they exercise caution so as to prevent the occurrence of another catastrophe. Little did they know, that their past was only replaying itself in a more disastrous way. -Completed Story.

BEAUTIFUL WOMAN _________________________ I was confused as to why they were making such noises. A girl was being dragged with a tyre around her. "She stole my five thousand naira." A woman shouted. Five thousand naira, I thought. Oh no, Nene has five thousand. I went further towards the crowd to see kerosene being poured on the girl. The girl was my Nene. "She's not a thief!" I screamed. "Please don't burn her. Let's resolve this, please." "No, she's a thief." The woman who claimed her money had been stolen said. "Ma, you're mistaken. My sister, didn't steal your money. Please tell them to stop. They'll kill my sister." "Sister, help me!" Nene shouted. I saw fear in her eyes, the spirit of death was hovering around my sister. "Please beg them to stop, please." __________________________________ Was Rosanna meant to cry, to suffer and to beg for mercy? Was her life meant to be filled with pain? How will all this end?
