BIRTH Of A VILLAINESS
COPYRIGHT © ALL RIGHTS RESERVED! How did we go from "My life is empty without you. I know I lack in many ways, and I know you deserve much better, but I can't bare the thought of you with someone else. Believe me Dua, I'll be better, for you. I'll do anything." His eyes pleaded, his voice trembling with desperation. And now "Get lost! You're nothing but a nuisance! An eyesore!" He scowled, the love that warmed his gaze now replaced into something dark and terrifying. *** Out of all my sins and mistakes, Haidar was my favorite and my worst. We began as friends in secondary school only for fate to tear us apart and cruelly reunite us at the university, where our lives took a devastating turn. Everyone on campus warned me to stay away from Haidar. They called him bad news, but I didn't listen, how could I? So I dismissed them as liars, enemies of what I believed was love. A love that shattered me. A love that killed the only genuine person that loved me. Now, evil thoughts crowded my mind, attacking my sanity. With tear blurred eyes, I stared at the heart wrenching letters trembling in my hands. My fingers shook as I tore one open, his familiar cold, ruthless voice echoed in my head as I read. "It's over! Don't cross me. I can ruin you with a flick of my finger. I have everything I need." The bastard didn't just abandoned me but he murdered the girl who once loved him too deeply. How could he strip me off my dignity by ending our years of relationship in the most humiliating way, turning me into a public joke, a campus spectacle. Indeed villains aren't born, they are slowly, painfully and deliberately made by the likes of HAIDAR ISAH. And I'm certain that I will survive this storm but not as the girl he broke but as the nightmare he would beg to wake up from but it will be too late. *** Highest Ranking🏆 #1 in Campus love story on 04-01-25 #1 in Ethiopia on 12-01-25 #2 in Mistreated on 04-01-25 Started 20/12/04 ©
The Grey In Black And White {COMPLETED}
The teenage period is usually not always easy. You make mistakes, you learn from them. It's like a moulding phase towards adulthood, which tends to be harder than adults make it sound. Especially in this generation. Growing up in a society where having a psychological condition means you're a freak, abnormal or an attention seeker. Where gender inequality is still seen as normal and right. Where anything other than Heterosexuality means you're possessed or the spawn of the devil. Where showing your emotions as a guy means you're soft and weak, because toxic masculinity isn't seen as a problem. Also, having anything to do that's related to these "atrocities" means you're set for an even bigger social stigma. Being a teenager becomes harder than hard. Just a group of teenagers trying to find a place for themselves in midst of a backward society, realising that life can't be all black and white. Growing in an African home is hard but what's harder is being a Nigerian. O le gán. "It is better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you're not." -André GideComplete
