"Behind those eyes, there's a girl in there desperately trying to break free. A girl who needs to be wanted so she can escape. 
        I'll be your redemption. " 

     "Stare at the devil's eyes head on. 
Demand an answer and free your self from his shackles..  Only you can do that. "


He helped her, some say he saved her but in the end... He left her.  

    Munachi Odumba the former outcast of Emerald Academy has evolved a lot since the first day she walked into the school.
    From being laughed at, avoided, respected by teachers, dating the most popular boy in school, mourning his absence, moving on with his best friend-second most popular boy in school, adjusting to his return and learning how to let go, she's been through it all. 
   Now she has friends who have proved that they'll have her back in any situation, friends she'd learnt and grew with, friends she would be willing to kill for, the type of friends that she has always wanted.  
      She's learnt how to forgive, learnt how to move on, learnt how to harness and turn her negative emotions into positive impacts and now she's stronger than ever but the one who was once her greatest strength and the only reason why she'd evolved so beautifully is now the weakness she has to either overcome or learn to live with.

Finding Yasmine by thatyorubagyal

As her world comes crumbling down, will she crumble with it or stand in the midst of the rumble. _________ I'm not going to cry I'm not going to cry I'm not going to cry He chuckled wickedly as Hauwa stoked his hand tenderly. 'At first it was about your virginity but you were stubborn so I took it slow, till I got what I wanted' he said, his eyes void of emotion. 'Turns out you're easy and a slut at that' he completed as Hauwa laughed heartily. Tears fell from my eyes freely, like a waterfall, like dew on the desert. I swallowed to ease my parched throat as I bit my lips trying not to scream. My breath was becoming uneven as I strode to where he stood and slapped him across the face with all the anger, the sorrows and frustration that were bottled up on me. 'You disgust me' I managed to say as tears started to blur my vision and for a second I saw hurt in his eyes or maybe I assumed it. I ran, bumping into tables, chairs and people, I didn't care. Ammi always told me there was a thin line between love and hate and I had crossed that line today with Sadiq', the one that wiped away my tears and told me it was going to be fine, my calm after the storm was actually my enemy in disguise. Shit!!! When it rains it fucking pours. ____________ Will she loose herself or find love in the most unexpected place?

"But that's the thing though, you'd think you know someone and then they turn out to be something completely different," I tell her honestly. I remember Jason being this perfect gentleman who always allowed me to speak my mind and be in control and as soon as I was his, he turned into a monster. Guys can be very persuasive when they want something and they'd go to the ends of the earth to get it. The harder it is to get, the harder they'll work for it, even if it requires them to change and be someone else but as soon as they got you, you'll see a different side of them. I'm not making any mistakes this time. This story is the sequel to Behind The Lights. New Updates Once A Week😊

He was not too dark neither was he fair. He had this look on his face, I wasn't sure if he was smiling or frowning. It was confusing. His lips were redish and looked quite kissable. Idiot!

What will happen when the dare she thought was so little could end up being so destructive.

Now, twelve years later, she is faced with the bitter truth. This truth uprooted her entire life, as she knew it. Denise, a 16-year ago, living in the slums Of Lagos Nigeria, knew that there was no reason to dream in this world, not when you were living in a country like Nigeria, so bleak and hopeless.

The Mafia's Mercy by Laisha_Gardner

I stepped into the doorway, turning back to look at him as he tucked his hands into his navy blue jean's pockets. Despite my obvious insecurity, I leaped against my timidity, asking, "Will I ever see you again?" There I was, standing with the door wide open before a man that I didn't know, begging that he'd say that he'd be interested in seeing me again some day. After a brief moment's silence, he stepped toward me, closing the short distance between us. The knuckle of his index finger gently lifted my chin, the pad of his thumb brushing the shadow beneath my lips. My heart fluttered in my chest, my eyes drawn to his compelling ones as he murmured, "I'm dangerous, doll. I'd do you good if I stayed away." I should've left it alone. I should've listened and shut the door, but I didn't. I couldn't. ~the Mafia's Mercy~ She saw it happen, but she was smart enough to pretend she didn't. She understood why it happened. She understood why it had to happen. What she didn't understand is why they didn't hurt her brother. What she didn't understand is why they didn't hurt her. From the moment she laid eyes on him, she knew her life was set to change forever. The Mafia doesn't kill your parents and leave witnesses behind. How do they make the best use of them? When they're adolescents, they don't dispose of them. Instead, he plans, nurtures, and when he's ready, he exploits.
