"You want to have sex with me? Just sex, nothing else attached?" "Is it so bad? Don't you want me too?" Chike's eyes were focused on her and she could feel the heat as if laser beams were being projected on her. "This will get complicated fast." "If it does, we take a break and talk things out. What matters is that we stay friends when this is done. I don't want to lose my best friend," Ada said. "How can I say no to that?" *** After five years away from the country and silently pining for his best friend, Ada, Chike returns to Nigeria. The one thing that has been keeping him going was the promise he made to himself that once he was back, he'd confess to her. Imagine his shock when Ada introduces him to her boyfriend. Would he step back after all these years of waiting? Or would he do everything possible to get his girl. On the outside, Ada and her boyfriend John are the happiest couple but what the public doesn't know is that there are a lot of pains hidden underneath. Ada is convinced that with a little time, John would change so she continues to make excuses for his excesses. After all, love is patient. With Chike fighting to get Ada and Ada fighting to stay with John, how do you think this would play out? BOOK TWO OF THE LAGOS MEN SERIES.

DEPTH OF PAIN{completed}
*** Why are you still here Mr Wellington?" I asked as I clutched my bathrobe to cover my body well. I don't want the scenario of my bathrobe falling off. "You've not answered me, who's that guy?" He asked "You mean Darlington?" "Da... What?" He raised his brows "You heard me, I work for you Mr Wellington, as your PA, you have no right to ask me about my private life, who I hang out with or talk to isn't your business! I don't poke my nose in your affairs so don't poke your nose in mine!" I shot at him in anger. "Listen you have every right to be mad at me and I don't blame you, I just need you to listen to me" he said firmly "Whatever you say won't change anything Mr Wellington" "Great! I'm sick and tired of trying to reason with you, I'm not interested in explaining myself anymore, but I want you to know one thing, strong relationships are built on the foundation of trust, relationships without trust or forgiveness are bound to fail, just like ours" he said and stormed out I slumped on my bed and different thoughts ran through my mind. His statement echoed in my head "strong relationships are built on the foundation of trust, relationships without trust or forgiveness are bound to fail, just like ours" *** Read and enjoy DEPTH OF PAIN #51- adc... out of 292 stories (december 1st 2018)Tamamlanmış Hikaye
WELLSPRING OF EMOTIONS
Poetry Is More Than Mere Words, I agree. As a poet I love all poetry verses but the two verses that interest me the most are free and blank verses. The blank verses give me the chance to fill-up their blankness while the free verse gives me the chance to rescue slaves of my thoughts and watch them enjoy freedom. The book is a completely fascinating one. It wanders in and out of poetry, puns, self-indulgently shifts in and out of borrowed and invented voices, and is tricky enough that, on re-reading it, you may find lines that take your thought on a wild goose chase in a quest to find answers to the real story behind them. The poems very nature seduces life experiences and tries to involute them into the poem in a prosy manner. It toys with solemnity and its covert theme is the joy and sadness of emotions. Probably this book is best read in small doses, one or two poems a day. But if you get caught in the web and want it all in one sitting, the freedom from my free verses urges you to go for it! Enjoy these poems, and you'll find yourself inspired!Tamamlanmış Hikaye
