The description of this book is honestly self-explanatory (I guess 😌). After reading so many amazing books on Wattpad and discovering a lot of incredible writers , especially Nigerians I'm super proud of .I decided to give back to the WattNaija community.
I'm not a writer, but I am an amazing reader, and this is my own little way of contributing. I'll be dropping honest reviews of books I've read on Wattpad and recommending the really good ones for you to check out. I'm also open to reading requests, as long as your book is completed.
Update (a year later): I've decided to start doing my reviews from a Nigerian reader's perspective, so expect a lot more focus on how the books connect with us, our culture, and our vibes.

*** 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)Abgeschlossene Geschichte

However, their matrimonial bliss is cut short when the truth about her past is revealed. * * * Adedayo Michael is an orphan who works as a school teacher. He is known for being cool-headed but sometimes he is too soft-hearted for his own good. One day, he comes across a strange and helpless-looking young woman and immediately feels drawn to her. He can't walk away, especially after finding out that she has lost all memory of who she is. Adedayo does something that many Nigerians might consider foolish - he brings her home with him. Despite several attempts to uncover her true identity, he was unable to find any information about her. As time passed, he found himself becoming more and more entwined with her life. When friends, co-workers, and members of their church began to question their relationship, Adedayo decided to make her his wife in order to provide a label for their cohabitation. Although he told himself that this was the only reason, he knew deep down that his feelings for her went beyond convenience. If only loving her was enough to make her his for eternity, but it wasn't. Now, Adedayo is about to learn the hard truth as their marital bliss is disrupted. *** If you enjoyed my story 'When The Sun Sets In The East', click 'read' and save it to your library.Abgeschlossene Geschichte![Subdued (18+)✔️ [A Nigerian Romance]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/314179903-256-k385938.jpg)
