Copyright © 2025 To the outside world, Maysa's family was flawless. An elegant Arab father, a regal Nigerian mother-the kind of couple people admired at dinner parties and envied from afar. But behind closed doors, their marriage was already falling apart. When her father dies on her tenth birthday, the illusion vanishes with him. Suddenly, Maysa becomes a stranger in both her worlds. Rejected by her father's people for being too dark, and never truly embraced by her mother's side for being too white, she grows up drifting in the in-between. And when her grieving mother turns bitter and cruel, home becomes the most dangerous place of all. Maysa learns early: love is a lie, belonging is a myth, and silence is safety. But then he shows up-kind, patient, unafraid of her shadows. He sees the walls she built, the cracks she hides. And for the first time, Maysa wonders: what if love isn't a weakness? What if home isn't a place, but a person? Now she must face the hardest truth of all: To be loved, she has to believe she's worthy of it.

Transferred after punching her corrupt superior, she's trapped between the chaos of her home life and the cold war brewing between her and her commander.

Marie had been hidden away in her room for over a year, letting the world shrink to four quiet walls after the day her classmates broke her spirit. She wanted only stillness, only silence... but silence has echoes. And in those echoes, something ancient heard her. a lonely girl whispering without words, summoning an angel she never meant to call, one that would bend her fate in ways she couldn't dream or escape.

At 2 A.M., the truth confronted me. At 3 A.M., I confronted myself. 3 A.M. Realisation is the quiet moment after the storm - when the tears have dried, the demons have retreated, and the room feels painfully honest. It's where conviction turns into clarity, and clarity turns into healing. These are the thoughts that wake you before dawn: the prayers you were too tired to finish, the habits you thought you hid from God, the forgiveness you didn't know you needed, the peace you didn't think you deserved. Set in the familiar streets and spiritual rhythms of Nigeria, this book is a reflective, emotional, faith-centred journey - the softer, wiser sequel to The 2 A.M. Confessions. When the night is quiet and the world is sleeping, Heaven still speaks. At 3 A.M., you finally hear it.

Okiemute used to be the girl with sunshine in her laughter and kindness in her heart-until the love of her life shattered her. When he left her for another woman, something inside her froze. She became distant, guarded, and done with love entirely. Determined to rebuild herself, she packed her bags, disappeared from her old life, and moved to a city where no one knew her name. In that new world, she rose from her pain and became a fierce, successful businesswoman-the kind no one could mess with. Two years later, a sudden family emergency dragged her back home. She wasn't prepared for what-or who-would be waiting for her. "Okiemute, this is Ovie... Gabriel Akweyvun and Ejiro Mary Ogba's son," her mother announced. Shock didn't even cover it. Ovie was no longer the mischievous 14-year-old boy who used to follow everyone around. He had become a man-a dangerously handsome one. Powerful. Respected. Untouchable. And somehow... also her new boss. His bluish-green eyes locked on hers with a heat she felt all the way down her spine. There was longing in them. Lust. Hunger. A silent promise that he'd been waiting for this moment just as long as she had. Leaning casually against the kitchen counter, sleeves rolled halfway up his forearms, tie loosened, top buttons undone. And the look in his eyes? Possessive. Hungry. Tender. Like he had been holding himself together all day and she was the final release. He pulled her close, lifting her slightly onto her toes as if she weighed nothing. Her fingers slid into his hair, feeling the softness, feeling the warmth of his scalp, feeling the way he leaned deeper into her touch like he'd been starving for it. Without breaking the kiss, he guided her backward toward the bedroom-one slow step at a time-giving her space to draw back if she wanted to. She didn't. She wanted him. She had wanted him all day. Her entire body was aching from wanting. And that night... They finally let desire speak freely.

Angrily, she shouted,"Are you senseless? I am sending you off to someone, and you will work for them as a maid!" Fatima emerged from the kitchen, her voice filled with disbelief, "How could you, Mum? A housemaid?" she questioned. Aunt Maryam, "I am sending her away, end of discussion." Fatima glanced at me, her eyes brimming with tears. I struggled to comprehend what I had just heard.
