The most powerful assassin in the country finds that the few months to the next presidential election are more than he bargained for.
His former employee turned rival wants her husband to be the next president and She's willing to eliminate anyone that gets in her way.
'Follow me'
Who is this guy anyways? And why is he interfering so much
'Now look here mister' I was getting a bit irritated with his interference. 'You have no business here, the police will be here anytime soon.'
'We can do this the easy way' He said, forcing a smile. 'Or the hard way' His smile disappeared. He pulled out a Glock 17
I glanced sideward. I saw Boss's knife out of the corner of my eye. It was my only chance to be on equal terms with this pest.
I lunged for the wooden dagger.
He casually fired at the dagger making it spiral out of my reach. Tough luck, now I was at the mercy of this... Well creature.

The Stain of Power
When ambition tastes like sin, who pays the price? In the corridors of Abuja's elite, Senator Damilare "Dami" Adeyemi stands on the brink of the presidency-a man groomed for greatness, adored by the masses, and feared by his enemies. But one forbidden night ignites a scandal that spirals into a national nightmare. She is Binta Yusuf, the beautiful, grieving wife of a decorated colonel. He is the rising star who should have stayed away. Their secret affair is a whisper that becomes a weapon, unleashing a storm of blackmail, betrayal, and bloodshed that threatens to bring down not just a man, but a nation. As leaked tapes rock the media, assassins stalk the streets of the capital, and Senate vultures circle, Dami must decide what matters more-his love for the woman who became his weakness, or the power that once defined him. But power is never surrendered; it is stolen, bargained, or buried with the dead. And in the shadows, a vengeful general, a cunning fixer, and a relentless journalist tighten the noose around his neck. From secret weddings to explosive hearings, from whispered hashtags to the echo of car bombs, this is a story of love twisted by ambition, betrayal bought with blood, and redemption paid at a devastating price. Will Dami rise again as a reformer-or return as a ghost of what power once made him? The Stain of Power is a masterful blend of political suspense, forbidden romance, and heart-stopping intrigue set against the volatile pulse of modern Nigeria. Every chapter bleeds with tension, passion, and the haunting truth: sometimes the cost of power is everything you ever loved.Complete
Captive
In a city where chaos runs deep and power speaks louder than justice, Major General Damola Olowe-feared, revered, and known simply as the Commander-rules Lagos's criminal underworld with a soldier's discipline and ruthlessness. His word is law. His presence, a warning. Backed by elite troops and an iron code of honor, Damola is the last line of order in a state slowly tilting into anarchy. But when a high-stakes raid ends in betrayal, an ambush leaves him bloodied and alone, and five of his own men try to assassinate him in transit, everything shifts. He survives by sheer will-and the unexpected help of a 'frightened' stranger. Damola gives him one thing in return: a favor. A single, open-ended promise. Three years later, the stranger returns-not for money, not for power, but with a request that will dismantle everything Damola has built. He wants Damola to protect his quiet, delicate younger sister, Adunni, while he travels abroad. The Commander refuses-until the debt is called in. What begins as a reluctant favor becomes a war of shadows, as Damola finds himself caught between growing feelings for Adunni and suspicions he can't ignore. Because Adunni isn't just innocent. She's a pawn. A spy planted to bring him down. And behind her is a man with blood on his hands-and a plan that could end the Commander's reign for good. But Damola didn't rise to power by playing fair and he was ready to fight until the very end. He took them down before, he could do it again. He would. Obey the Commander-or be destroyed.

Hard Man
Although no one knew it, Desire was struggling. It was highly unbelievable because as a top worker in one of Lagos' most exclusive and influential night clubs, she was making thousands every night. All her other friends were living large, and building houses, so why couldn't she? Her father had died five years ago, leaving them drowning in a sea of debt. Her mother was sick, and couldn't do anything, so from an early age Desire had had to wear the mantle of responsibility. A twenty six million naira debt was on her neck, and for five years, Desire had consistently been paying it off; while simultaneously keeping a roof over her mother's head, and saving up money for school. Salvation came at last; but in form of the hardest, most handsome man she had ever laid eyes upon? General Babalola Halal. He was offering five million Naira for a whole month of exclusive sex. Pure, undiluted gratification. It was her job, and this offer was coming on a platter of gold. Even more tempting was the fact that it was the exact amount needed to be free of her father's debt. Completely. But he was hard, and demanding, and excruciatingly virile. Accepting this posed a risk far greater than millions. The stark reality of losing everything she stood for, and gaining nothing in return because a man like this never gave anything of himself. He was rich, five million Naira meant nothing to him. But she knew what she was getting into, she knew how addictive his touch was, and how hard it was to stay sane around him. Could she do this? Was losing her sanity a price she was willing to pay?Complete![Just A Dare [Editing]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/167295871-256-k13057.jpg)

Sifon ✓ (SAMPLE)
He leaned into me so our lips were inches apart, I stared wide eyed, unable to move my body but I leaned my head back creating a little bit of space between us. A smirk graced his lips as his eyes twinkled with unbridled mischief. "You'll definitely make for a good wife. Lucky me". He said and purposely leaned into me so much so his lips nearly grazed mine, I squeaked and shut my eyes in surprise but his forehead only pressed on mine. I opened my eyes slowly to meet his and I realized he was holding up a diamond studded ring. I looked back at him only to see him watching my reaction closely. "What is that for?", I hoped he didn't detect how shaky my voice had become because of our close proximity. "This is your engagement ring, my dear fiancée", he said and took a step back, burying one of his hands in his pocket and tilting his head. I just stared wide eyed at the ring in his right hand, it was all too real. "What?, You didn't expect me to kneel, now did you", he chuckled at his own words and took my hand, sliding the ring on it. •••• Trapped in a marriage of convenience by her father, Sifon must fight tooth and nail to come out unscathed but she'd damned before she lets him have the last laugh.
