Tears Are Not Enough!!
"Death is like a roll call to slumber with no orderly criteria and a kick in the teeth. It doesn't matter who you think you are," Mum used to say.
She was bloody right!
So, how do I tell Dad to love, honour and respect his wife?
To the brave, what is the true value of life when the unexpected happens?
Twice, Amara Kash had fallen.
Twice, she'd gotten back up.
But her return to Lagos would change everything.
For all concerned, it was only the beginning of a catalogue of unfolding events!
A sombre tale of love, loss, greed, myth and the ultimate resolve of one immigrant to succeed against all odds.

With Pain Comes Love 3
Seeing my wife in the state she was in has to be the 2nd most painful thing to go through, the first being losing your little princess. I watched her sleeping peacefully, at least she was at peace and not thinking about what we are currently going through. I think the most painful thing about losing someone is that there's no warning, you don't get a chance to say a proper goodbye to them and there's no telling when you'll ever see them again. Death is a thief. - Melo Before my daughter came into the picture I used to drink and get really drunk. Alcohol has always been a coping mechanism f and my go-to for pretty much every emotion, be it happiness or sadness or even anger... it was always my go-to. But I stopped when I found out I was pregnant and only drank every now and then but never to get drunk. Losing my child has been hard, it's been a struggle I am yet to conquer, if how I also don't know. I've never been able to handle pain easily, for me reality strikes after some time... let's just say I react in a much later stage to pain or trauma. Yes, she was gone but I didn't want to accept it at first and I can't say that I've accepted it now because I haven't still but I'm taking it one day at a time... I've been drinking to ease the pain and not think about her or remember her but that's stupid because every part of this big house reminds me off her. It's been a month since her funeral and I've been drinking excessively. I'm not coping and neither is Melo. I cannot imagine us surviving this one. We just strangers who sleep on the same bed. She didn't deserve to die. She shouldn't have died. - YayaComplete

Coerced
It is rightly said and often proved by the proverb, man proposes and God disposes. What happens when everything seems to go well and a day arises in your life that within a heartbeat the fate comes crashing down at your feet turning your destiny to an utter catastrophe? What happens when the only girl you LOVE in this world and next starts to HATE you for an action you aren't even responsible for and you can do nothing about it except to keep your hands folded? What happens when you lose everything in your life including your family within a matter of seconds just because of a single ignorant move? It just cost me a blink of an eye and my life gyrated into bits and pieces because of a dopey move under the influence of sedation and sex. I am Shannon Clandevis, CEO of Clandevis Group of Industries, one of the top billionaires of the United States. People seek me with praising annotations but they are ignorant about an important veracity. I am a love struck bovine with a vacuous soul and secrets buried deep under the ground.

Crossroads Of The Heart
She woke up in a hospital bed, disoriented and aching, only to be hit with the devastating news-she had been in a terrible accident... and lost the last five years of her memory. The faces around her felt unfamiliar, except for two: her father... and Kai, the man her heart still called home. But reality didn't match her memories. Because everyone insisted she wasn't with Kai anymore. In fact, she was engaged-to someone else. A calm, steady man named Evan, who stayed by her side through the accident... and after. He claimed to love her. And he was patient-painfully patient-even offering to help her track down Kai, the man she swore was still her forever. As she tried to piece her life back together, torn between the ghost of her past and the man claiming her future, she began to uncover a truth deeper-and darker-than she ever expiected. Because finding Kai again wasn't the miracle she thought it would be. And remembering who she once was... might destroy who she's become.Complete
Deserve to be loved
She was the daughter they didn't want. The girl her own family blamed for everything - for her brother's disappearance, for the grief they chose to wear as rage. For ten years, Amara Rose Willemson survived beatings, silence, and starvation. She kept her head down, her secrets locked, and her love for a family that did not love her back. Then came the night everything broke. One accident. One name she didn't recognize. One family who looked at her like she was something worth fighting for. She woke up as Rosa. She doesn't remember the pain. She doesn't remember the years of cruelty. And she doesn't remember him - the dark-eyed man who once watched her suffer and felt nothing but satisfaction. Xavier King Knight has never wanted anything he didn't get. But the girl he loved in silence, then hurt in silence, doesn't know his face anymore. And the man who could buy countries and break empires finds himself standing in the cold outside her gate for seven days - waiting for a girl who doesn't owe him a single second of her time. She forgot everything he did to her. He remembers every last thing. Does she deserve to be loved? She always did. The question is whether the people around her finally deserve her.
And In The End
She gave up her career, her dreams, and everything she was.. for a love that promised forever. But forever was a lie. When the truth shatters her perfect world, Amara is left with nothing. No husband. No job. Not even the son she gave up everything to raise. Everyone thinks she's broken. But they forgot one thing. You can't bury a woman who remembers who she is. And in the end... he may have walked away, but she's the one who survived. Trigger Warning: This story dives deep into grief, heartbreak, and the raw, unfiltered emotions that come with loss. Because healing is never a straight line.Complete
