Less than six months ago, I discovered through the most shocking means that I fathered a child with my first love and the only woman I have ever truly loved, 20 years ago. Of course, as a responsible adult, I swung in and did the right thing. But the right thing also includes getting married, giving my daughter Nimi a home she would be proud of and setting the right examples at 40. I have chosen a candidate for that. But my plans are again foiled by Lola Sodipo, the one woman who broke my heart and shattered it to pieces in the year 2000. The woman who is the reason I have become the person that I am today - someone who doesn't give a hoot about love and all the shenanigans associated with it. However, Lola gets in my head again and while I fight her off, I realize she isn't the only distraction that has entered my life. But only when I decide to face my demons by revisiting the past and getting in touch with the man that I once was will I be able to conquer the major enemy trying to rip my family, my legacy and my heart into tiny shreds. - Tokunbo Carew, Valentine's 2020.

Every piece you have to offer." ----------- He told himself he shouldn't look at her. Shouldn't think about her. Shouldn't want her. But he did. An Egyptian man, raised among women who valued modesty, where faith was unshaken and restraint was second nature.

He had been taught that women like her were reckless, unrestrained. He had been warned against their kind. Yet, why couldn't he look away? He needed focus. School. Graduation. Home. That was the plan. That was the only path. But distraction had a name. And she was a fire in his veins. Now, he had to choose-duty or desire. -----------------------
