Like gunpowder, all memories need are triggers and BOOM! they come flashing through our minds like a thunderstorm. Humans can forgive but not forget, heal but not forget the scar.

            Zoe Da-Silva had a hard life - raped at the age of twenty-four, parents who abandoned her, and as a result, she had to grow up fast and rise above the criticism of the Nigerian society.  Now thirty-two, she tries her best to raise her seven years old son who is understanding and obedient. An emergency occurred leading her to handsome, passionate, sweet and gentle Jordan Wellington. The two falls deeply in love with each other. But then, will he understand that she's been greatly damaged and can't bring herself to trust? Or will she be willing to open her heart fully to him?

Cause, sometimes, love is not always enough...

Azizah Yusuf is not your ordinary Arewa lady. At twenty-five and still unmarried, she has experienced more than one could ever endure in a life time -the brutalities of war, pain, grief, and heartbreak. Having fled from the war-ridden North-Eastern Nigeria, she and her parents are forced to start life from the scratch in one of the capital city's Area Councils. Despite how professional she appears to be, her past still hunts her and her only life goal is to live a peaceful life. Suraj Ahmad Suraj, an aristocratic medical doctor, has everything he has ever dreamt of. A good job, wealth, and a beautiful fiancée to show off. Though he has his own personal battles, he believes his life is quite perfect. This little perfection, however, was marred when a plain, yet sophisticated 'refugee' woman steps in, and forced Suraj to do a double take at his life. Despite their differences and the little resentment they hold against each other, Suraj and Azizah are forced to work together; both of them however, unaware, unprepared, and unexpectant of the adventures, challenges, as well as the tragedy that lay ahead of them... Not your everyday Wattpad story!

⚠THIS STORY CONTAINS THEMES THAT MIGHT BE TOO INTENSE FOR SOME READERS. ⚠ She pounded on her brother's door, screaming. No answer. Her tears intensified to the point that she could barely see. Her lungs were quickly filling with smoke. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kailani Flair wasn't exactly sympathetic towards people. Certain experiences had made her that way. After the supposed death of her entire family when she was five, Kailani had made a promise to herself. A promise to find them, or, if they were really dead, the person responsible and make them pay. And she didn't really care who got in her way. However, two young girls might be just what Kailani needs to soften her heart of stone. Nevan Ransom had buried his troubling past when he moved into a small town on the outskirts of Mispa. But nothing buried, dead or alive, stays buried long. His past has caught up to him. In an effort to find a better life for him and his adoptive little brother, Shea, he decides to find the assassin that's wanted all over the Southern Kingdoms and collect the bounty for them. 𝘔𝘪𝘥𝘯𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘚𝘯𝘰𝘸. His mission is sidetracked when Shea is taken, and he's left with an eerie note with a scarily familiar signature. Nazifa didn't know who her parents were, she honestly didn't care to. They were probably like all the other parents in the Southern Kingdoms. Selfish, egotistical, and money crazed. At least that's how Kai had described his parents, and he was her best friend, so she trusted him. But that trust wasn't gained overnight. She'd learned the hard way what easy trust led to. Which is one of the reasons why she's on high alert around their new friend, Killian. However, when Kai goes missing while on a hunting expedition, she has no choice but to trust Killian. As he knows the woods better than anyone in Paradise. He's the only one who can help her
