Holding your heart hostage
The world is corrupted. That is the only thing how one could describe this world where they lived in. And in this cruel place, the usual laws didn't work and most people would often had to find ways to get the money they needed, even if their methods weren't right. The world where you were either highly successful or in deep debt. And that is a world where four certain people lived in. Unfortunately for those four people, they were the latter of the two social standings, as they always had to use dirty ways to survive the world. One day, they decide to end this crime-filled life by committing their last crime. Kidnapping. Not wanting to make anybody broke with the amount of money they needed, they decide to kidnap eight other people to share the ransom. Little did they know, one kidnapping can change all of their lives. Cover art by @OsamaNekoni

Valentine's 2020
Less than six months ago, I discovered through the most shocking means that I fathered a child with my first love and the only woman I have ever truly loved, 20 years ago. Of course, as a responsible adult, I swung in and did the right thing. But the right thing also includes getting married, giving my daughter Nimi a home she would be proud of and setting the right examples at 40. I have chosen a candidate for that. But my plans are again foiled by Lola Sodipo, the one woman who broke my heart and shattered it to pieces in the year 2000. The woman who is the reason I have become the person that I am today - someone who doesn't give a hoot about love and all the shenanigans associated with it. However, Lola gets in my head again and while I fight her off, I realize she isn't the only distraction that has entered my life. But only when I decide to face my demons by revisiting the past and getting in touch with the man that I once was will I be able to conquer the major enemy trying to rip my family, my legacy and my heart into tiny shreds. - Tokunbo Carew, Valentine's 2020.

THE PRICE OF HONOR
In a world where the lines between reality and hell are blurred,the lines between culture and oppression are also blurred, a young girl's life is forever shattered by the brutal hand of a father, the feeling of utter helplessness becomes her constant companions. In Northern Nigeria, a culture of silence and oppression reigns supreme. Behind the closed doors of seemingly ordinary homes, a sinister reality lurks, where women are subjected to unimaginable abuse and brutality. This is not just a story about domestic violence, but a stark reflection of the harsh realities that many women face in Northern Nigeria, where the societal norms and cultural expectations perpetuate a cycle of abuse and fear. In this intense and thought-provoking tale, we delve into the lives of women who are trapped in loveless and violent marriages, where the threat of divorce is a luxury they cannot afford. Financial dependence and the fear of social ostracism force them to endure the unimaginable, their voices muffled by the weight of societal expectations. Mothers, daughters, and sisters are all victims of this vicious cycle, where the notion of "family honor" is used to justify the brutal suppression of their rights and dignity. The story exposes the dark underbelly of a society where women are treated as commodities, their bodies and minds subjected to the whims of their husbands and in-laws. This is a story that will leave you breathless and disturbed, a story that will challenge your perceptions and force you to confront the harsh realities of a society that is deeply entrenched in oppression. It is a story that will make you question the very fabric of our society and the values that we hold dear. Dive into this intense and emotional story, where the boundaries between reality and nightmare are pushed to the limit, and the true meaning of survival is put to the test.
Kuroo x Reader [COMPLETED]
[Im sorry the cover sucks; I don't own anything except the plot] The world is filled with many colours. And what colour we see depends on our status as a human. You're the kind of girl who was just an ordinary person: Not many friends, no love life, no parents. You could hardly see any colours when you open your eyes. Yes, you can different shade a blue pen and a red, but over than that, everything's a myriad of grey, black, and white. But what if, one day, you just happen to meet someone who seems like the most colourful person in the world? And that your world starts becoming less... "colourless".
