STUBBORN lINEAGE. by danmaesule

Not edited yet this is a story about young people that got married with out their affirmation but took place with their parents agreement,so technically it was a arranged marriage from their parents perspective but a forced marriage to them. He was far way too arrogant for her liking and she was far way too stubborn and clumsy for his liking, we all have those cousins that can never be called family but rather cats and dogs bcs they can't share same shed,so technically you can relate. They are those kind of cousins🤐 .😪😯😍 **⚠🚫⚠PLEASE I THE WRITER MY SELF I'M STUBBORN SO No DISRESPECTFUL WORDS IN MY COMMENTS SECTION.Thanks😪😇

Default Title - The Next Bride by bluestockings90

In a typical African setting a girl must be married at a certain age. It's almost like her life is programmed "what to do, when to do,how to do and with whom". In the Northern part of Nigeria people see an unmarried girl of 25years and above as a failure to her religion,culture,family,society and herself. The so called society forgets the struggles of the "unmarried girl" what she goes through emotionally, what she thinks, things she has to do to keep a relationship just to be married, decisions they make to make people around them happy, but the truth is every single girl has a story good or bad and all she needs is someone not to judge but to have a little empathy and know that she didn't plan her life. This book however is a fictional but relatable story, the story is about four young girls who have been more of sisters than friends for so many years, in good times and bad times. Their friendship was what they have for each other but like many friendships it was tested. Was it that their love wasn't love after all or was their bond not strong enough? In the end these girls made decisions that broke the ties, what they built and the future of their sisterhood. They become victims of a desperate society that keeps asking"who is The Next Bride".
