Noteworthy...
I included some vernacular to spice it up. My beloved pidgin English and Nigerian languages will be used here. I will translate it into English in a bracket beside the word.
I will update my work whenever there are more spicy terms.
Guide: Aboki means friend in the Hausa language.
I dey come means I am coming in Nigerian pidgin
I do finish means I am through or I have finished.
Dey look where you dey goes o girl means watch where you are going, girl.
No vex means do not be angry or do not be offended.

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! As usual have an abortion. 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 ©
