She wanted to live the life her mother always wanted. Her desire in life was to satisfy and get back. He wanted life with love, not rules. His inner secrets turn on him and now he must live life on the run.
******
Zuri Wairumi had life on a golden spoon. She wanted to have kids, a loving husband and great career. The life her mother dreamed of having but couldn't attain. She was on the right track till he set her off. He was her doomed love. Darius Jackson was born to the throne. Everything he did, said, and ate was watched. He was everyone's kind prince but soon he'd have to be king. When his best friend offers to be his queen in return for the perfect life she wanted, he couldn't say no. She always loved him but he hadn't loved her yet. He learned to love her in a special way. A way no one would understand.
Love is a million things but theirs was bruised, scathing, and tainted.
❦︎❦︎❦︎
"I love you so much, Zuri." He whispered among my sobs. My blood stained the floor and my body was in pain yet all he could do was whisper to me.
If he loved me so much, he wouldn't have done it. Now I let a sob ripple through my throat and feel the pain slowly get less.
"I'm so sorry, baby."

Whimsical beauty ✔️
SYNOPSIS They thought she will not last She melted his heart He sent her running They paid the price Before he was too rich, now he is royalty Before he had two wives, now there is a royal marriage Too many baggage, too little choice.... ..... When Amal got married, everyone thought she will be divorced the very next day. She has nothing. Not the looks nor prestige. Not even attitude! In a house with two other wives aside from her, even her age is against her. No experience nor wisdom. How can she fight for a place in such a state? To make it worse, Saif Garzali is the heir to the kingdom of Maicki! Amal needs to prove that even though prestige and looks goes a long way in a marriage, even a royal marriage, they don't necessarily give it life. Because when the war of marriage starts, the only trump card is what lies within. ????? This story will delve into some minds of African women and how jealousy drives our women until they crossed a line they might never ever think themselves capable of crossing. It has a fantasy feel though and I hope I will end it as my very own African Cinderella-eish story! Note: All pics were found in Google. Thanks to kannywood celebs!Complete

Bloody Zulu Men
"You're my hero, Superwoman," he said, his voice rough like gravel - like he wasn't used to saying anything soft. I smiled, his gaze steady as I tied the last strip of the bandage around his shoulder. "How come my superpowers don't work on you and me?" I asked, quietly, like it wasn't already eating me alive. He didn't flinch. "Maybe they don't work on people who already belong to you." His callused hand brushed my cheek. My chest ached. "Sukhala mama, ungowami wena." And the tears came. Because I'd asked him to fake love me. And now I didn't know where the lie ended and the truth began. He said "mama." inqondo yagoloza,intliziyo yavuma. (my brain said no, but my heart said yes) Ngewami Mamba is a force-an award-winning gynecologist, tech mogul, and humanitarian with a passport full of stamps and a bank account in pounds, not rands. She's the woman every man wants and every woman envies. But when her younger sister announces an unexpected engagement, Ngewami's perfectly curated world tilts off its axis. She was supposed to be first. The wife. The bride. The standard. Now, with the spotlight slipping and her ego bruised, Ngewami will stop at nothing to beat her sister to the altar-even if it means faking a relationship with the one kind of man she's always sworn off: A Zulu man. Sharp-tongued, emotionally armored, and unapologetically ambitious, Ngewami isn't looking for love-she's looking for a win. But love has a twisted sense of humor. And it just might be written in bold, bloody Zulu.

𝑽𝑰𝑺𝑰𝑶𝑵 𝑶𝑭 𝑳𝑶𝑽𝑬|Book 1
Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a memory... You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight after they're gone. When you can still taste their kiss after you have said goodbye. You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they're gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spin. When they're the only thing you can think about. You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning to say, "I Love You" and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them and can't figure how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them you're incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and sound and mind all at once. 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎-𝐟𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏Complete

" I c-can't understand anything," I said slowly. I just wish this comes out to be a fake thing. All of this a joke. I helplessly looked towards him. He was quiet and looked emotionless.
