****A Wattpad Featured Novel**** • • • (Book one) Many of us, have read lots of books and watched lots of movies, about a boy who dumped his long termed girlfriend just cause he fell in love with a new character. The Right Girl. When we'd realized that he had fallen in love with the main character, we all became happy about the turn of events. Just cause we'd been shipping both of them for a very long time. No one wanted him to be with The Wrong Girl, cause she was either too perfect, had a nasty character or treated everyone like trash. We all enjoyed the boy and The Right Girl new found relationship, and totally forgot that he was in a different relationship not too long ago. No one thought about The Wrong Girl, or how her life would be like after the break up. No one thought if she'd actually get into a new relationship, or stayed single for the rest of her life. I was guilty as charged, until Alex my boyfriend, decided to kiss The Right Girl in front of our secondary school and left me The Wrong Girl, to be the laughing stock to the entire students of Blossom High. • • • Eno had been the most popular girl at Blossom High School. She was like every cliché popular girls you've read on books and watched on television. She had a nasty attitude, popular boyfriend and three popular besties.

He's My Secret (edited-ish) by royal_loveheart

He kept on staring at me but I ignored him, at least I tried to. He was sitting right beside me and although I was looking at the board I still could glimpse his form facing me, he seemed to be looking at my lips. I wasn't able to take it any more. I slowly turned to him, he was indeed staring at my lips. "What??" I ask feeling self cautious as I fought the thought of wiping off my mouth. He slowly licked his lips and said, " nothing" as he shook his head " your lips ... they just look so kissable" he added slowly and calmly after a while causing my heart to overreact, my eyes went wide and my mouth to turn into a forbidden smile. "What?" I asked as I tried to give him a weird look but I couldn't stop smiling, the forbidden smile seemed to be taking over my entire face, slowly but surely. This book is in the point of view (P.O.V) of the main character (first person) with an exception of chapter 1 which is told by the narrator (second person) { Book 2 - Revealing Secrets https://my.w.tt/bF5lujvGo2 } When this book was reviewed by yours truly it was summed up to 50 chapters. Sorry if you find some of the chapters a bit too short . Lol.

I do and I do by Mercy198

A simple orphaned school teacher with a heart of gold meets a strange and helpless woman who has lost all memories of who she was. He takes her home and eventually marries her. 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.
