Genevieve Ukaji is a successful banker still single at thirty-seven-years-old. Her mother continues to remind her to find a husband. Her colleagues gossip about her behind her back, and to make matters worse, she wakes up one morning in a stranger's bed.

Regardless, she decided to push the experience to the back of her mind until the stranger unexpectedly walks into her parents' home, and she realises the big age difference between them.

Genevieve is too ashamed and embarrassed of herself. She wants nothing to do with him, but it's not the same for the cute stranger. He tries his hardest to bring her out of her shell.

Amidst all this, Genevieve finds out she's expecting. For the first time in her life, she would have to decide if this glimmer of happiness is enough to face the fear of what others might say about her.

Sifon ✓ by _eberechi

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. Or will she succumb to her growing attraction for the man she desperately wants nothing to do with?. .... 18/08/21 ranked #1 in projectnigeria 21/05/22 ranked #2 in nigerian 31/10/23 ranked #4 in african *Slowly being edited* ~ ©_eberechi 2021

Not Yours || Jungkook FF || Mafia×Reader by seraphic_agape

What happens when a girl who runs away from the sounds of gunshots and the sights of blood is forced to be with a man who finds peace in the bloodbath and chaos.... A 22 year old college student, Y/n whose life is peaceful at front but rotten in the insides. The more she struggles to forget her reality and live in her delusional bubble, the more pain she has to endure. She gives care about nothing in the world except for one thing which has tied her to the man who is the desire of many but a nemesis to her. Jeon Jungkook, a 28 years old Mafia, has been raised with the sound of gunshots playing as his lullaby. The man has played his days and slept his nights in pools of blood. His peace and comfort all come from the pain he causes to others. He cares for nothing except for power and money which ties him to a woman, and the only woman to catch his eyes, who was never supposed to be a part of his life. Look out for how the story of Y/n and Jeon Jungkook unfolds around the tropes of Forbidden Love and Enemies to Lovers.

*** Why are you still here Mr Wellington?" I asked as I clutched my bathrobe to cover my body well. I don't want the scenario of my bathrobe falling off. "You've not answered me, who's that guy?" He asked "You mean Darlington?" "Da... What?" He raised his brows "You heard me, I work for you Mr Wellington, as your PA, you have no right to ask me about my private life, who I hang out with or talk to isn't your business! I don't poke my nose in your affairs so don't poke your nose in mine!" I shot at him in anger. "Listen you have every right to be mad at me and I don't blame you, I just need you to listen to me" he said firmly "Whatever you say won't change anything Mr Wellington" "Great! I'm sick and tired of trying to reason with you, I'm not interested in explaining myself anymore, but I want you to know one thing, strong relationships are built on the foundation of trust, relationships without trust or forgiveness are bound to fail, just like ours" he said and stormed out I slumped on my bed and different thoughts ran through my mind. His statement echoed in my head "strong relationships are built on the foundation of trust, relationships without trust or forgiveness are bound to fail, just like ours" *** Read and enjoy DEPTH OF PAIN #51- adc... out of 292 stories (december 1st 2018)
