Kairayochukwu Okorie stopped believing in second chances especially her own. After an accident involving someone she cared about, Kaira becomes the subject of rumors she never asked for.

And I keep feeling this tug towards you, to check up on you but you're so stubborn. I had to pray about it all the time because I felt my heart was deceiving me or something. God knows how confused I was before I accepted that..." He just paused. "That what?" "That I liked you." ❊❊❊❊❊ In my story I'm a child of unfortunate circumstances, born to a reckless father and a housewife mother although the world thinks I have it all. In my story I struggle between loving my parents even though their actions make me angry, I struggle to be the shield for my sister while leaving her alone to pick herself up, I struggle to fit in with my peers even though we we've been friends for years. I can't even hold on to the person who saw me and wanted me. I hide myself behind thousands of questions, anxiety and fear. In my story I'm just another girl raised in Ibadan with nothing to look forward to. Hope is unknowingly what kept me together, hence I started writing letters. What am I hoping for? Who am I hoping on? Why? Why do I write to a person I can't see? How desperate must I be? I hope in a God I used to have around me. Though I don't blame him, I question why he left me, if he's still out there, and if he can still help me. Or maybe he never left me at all.

Genesis's child had your eyes and she talks just like you too. Sharp mouthed, brave, open minded and let's not forget she's not shy either" she tried pointing out. "With all due respect ma, all these could be minor coincidence and nothings else. I saw them myself having fun on his bed and she slept there comfortably putting on what I can't even call clothes" I was already getting angry remembering the scene that took place years ago. "I dont know what you mean or what happened but I'm a mother and I know what I'm saying. That child is yours" she drank out of her tea cup.

The description of this book is honestly self-explanatory (I guess 😌). After reading so many amazing books on Wattpad and discovering a lot of incredible writers , especially Nigerians I'm super proud of .I decided to give back to the WattNaija community. I'm not a writer, but I am an amazing reader, and this is my own little way of contributing. I'll be dropping honest reviews of books I've read on Wattpad and recommending the really good ones for you to check out. I'm also open to reading requests, as long as your book is completed. Update (a year later): I've decided to start doing my reviews from a Nigerian reader's perspective, so expect a lot more focus on how the books connect with us, our culture, and our vibes.

"I love you." He whispered huskily into my ears, nuzzling the region between my neck and shoulder. And as simple as it may sound, that's all it took for me to know he was the one-approximately three words and eight letters. I grabbed his strong jaw gently and kissed him passionately, not giving two fucks if we get caught.
