THE CONFLICT WITHIN by sadiik1234

From her earliest days, Elliet sensed she was set apart. She possessed a strength and speed that surpassed all the children in her village. Because of this, her parents forbade her from revealing her extraordinary abilities to others. One day, while playing with her sister, Elliet unintentionally caused her harm. Consumed by anger and frustration, their mother confessed that Elliet was cursed and adopted. Heartbroken by this revelation, Elliet fled, embarking on a quest to uncover her true heritage. It was then that she discovered the world was far more expansive than she had ever imagined, filled with individuals who wielded power greater than her own. She was soon swept into the clandestine vandid society, a covert group of assassins comprising superhumans. Rising through their ranks like a dark horse, she quickly became the youngest and deadliest assassin in the world, earning the moniker "Dark Angel." Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, Sonya embarked on a mission to find her missing sister. Fate intervened when she crossed paths with a young boy destined to become the king of a formidable nation. After saving his life and those of his bodyguards, Sonya was conscripted into the army. Following numerous successful missions, she climbed the ranks, becoming one of the kingdom's most formidable officers. How would Sonya react upon discovering that the assassin responsible for the death of the only man she ever loved was her long-lost sister?

At War by michelle18uzoma

"Obanma if you keep vibrating like a car engine, neither of us would get good sleep. I can feel the bed shaking from way over there" He gestured at the edge of the bed where lay he before. Her mouth couldn't form any words in her own defense. "I've been battling with pneumonia I would have left the bed for you. Those tiles might just worsen my case. Besides there's enough space to fit two more people on this bed." She only nodded still staring at him and recoiling inwardly at the proximity between them. Adaugo had once told her that being on the same bed with a man could make her pregnant. Oh Biology her saviour! " I am not that kind of man, I offered you a place to rest for the night and that you shall get. Sleeping with your Jean trousers on, one foot in and foot out of the bed, huddling at the edge which is quite close to the door, wouldn't really save you if I wanted something else. I am a man, I am stronger and faster. So please relax, stop shaking and go to sleep. I have a very busy schedule tomorrow and just like you, I can't sleep unless my surrounding is suitable for sleeping " How did he know all that? Was he a mind reader too? She nodded again then slowly relaxed on the bed, still very much awake. Sleeping was not really what one did in enemy camp. He smiled, gently rolling over to his side to really have a look at her. She was truly very beautiful and innocent. He knew deep down that she could escape if she wanted to, he was no superman and she would definitely elude him. His hands itched to caress and hold her, that feeling was not alien, he had always felt protective of the girl. Onyedikachi simply turned to the other side of the bed with a smile on his face and very familiar words in his heart as exhaustion drove him to sleep. Smart girl! *** Two families living peacefully as neighbors till an unfortunate event turns them into arch enemies. How long will their war last when love decides to make their children mediators?
