Ayomiposi Faleye's middle name could be dubbed Insecurity and it would suit her perfectly. Battered by her mother's verbal abuses and her father's abandonment, she longs for something or someone that can fill that void and replace the uncertainty she feels. 

Olatayo Adekiitan Sijuade is drowning in the aftermath of his wife's death. He is wealthy and has the love of his family and the God of His wife to run to. But he feels too far gone to have that sweet communion of his new birth experience. 

While both are still coming to terms with their newly-found bliss, they receive a shock that threatens everything they have ever known. 

Will they both crumble under the weight of insecurities and miss what God has predestined for them? Or continue to long for the One Who knows all things?

Beneath the Surface ( Completed ) by Writiyapa

In their mid-40s, Naina and Arjun have built a seemingly perfect life together with two teenage kids and a comfortable home. But behind closed doors, their marriage is filled with unspoken tensions, old regrets, and an emotional distance that has left Naina questioning her place in Arjun's life. When Aditya, Naina's charming college friend and former crush, unexpectedly reappears, he reminds her of the laughter and confidence she once had. Watching her reconnect with Aditya, Arjun faces a startling realization: he may lose the woman he took for granted. Driven by jealousy and an unfamiliar fear of abandonment, he's forced to confront the painful past he's kept hidden for years-the past that has prevented him from fully opening his heart to Naina. As Naina rediscovers herself, Arjun stumbles through awkward attempts to show his love, leading to humorous missteps, heartfelt confessions, and moments of undeniable chemistry. But with old wounds, jealousy, and insecurities threatening to tear them apart, can Arjun and Naina move beyond their misunderstandings and rebuild a love that has been buried for too long. Beneath the Surface is a story of rediscovering love, where second chances, heartfelt confessions, and a shared laughter prove that sometimes, love is found not in grand gestures but in the quiet moments and the decision to stay, no matter how deep the scars run.

Blossom and Bloom Graceful and Tender - She couldn't believe her ears, or her eyes. Her husband, the man she loves, the father of her unborn baby, was asking for a divorce. "Mason," She stammered, but he held his hand up in the air. "I'll arrange a place for you and our child to stay, I'll send weekly support for the child. Just sign the papers," He urged her and handed her the pen. She took it hesitantly, hoping that this was only a dream, she prayed to wake up. "I love you," She whispered and signed her name on the allotted space. And though she would miss him, she knew better than to fight for a man's love. Somehow, he didn't love her anymore. It hurt her heart, but once a man made up his mind, nothing could make him change his mind. She even knew that much. She placed the pen down and walked to the door. "Goodbye," He looked up from the papers and smiled. "Be on your way," And with those final words, her heart crumbled into pieces. - Let the story of Vanessa Grace take you on a journey of transformation. - The Clean Reads Collection Are you looking for a clean read with Christian themes?

COLD (a nigerian story) by BeautyYoungWriter_

"Nevaeh you need to understand that life ain't a bed of roses. It has it's ups and downs but that doesn't mean you should blame God for that! Once in a while you lose people you love. It's not because God hates you or because he doesn't exists. It's because that's what is meant to happen." He said dropping his fanta. "God exists. And that's why you and I are still living" he finished. I frowned at him not wanting to press the issue further. He held my gaze, his eyes not leaving mine. I looked down at my plate trying to avoid his bold stare. "This sucks" I muttered. Daniel and Yimika are practically the same in this God thingy. How the heck did I get myself tangled with them?! ############## Have you ever come across someone with so much drama in their life? If you haven't...
