The demons from home followed her.
Ifeoma Samuel built her walls so high that even she can't escape it. Her heart has been made up a long time ago and there is no going back. But when her life is threatened and he comes to her aid, Ifeoma realizes how weak her walls were to begin with. Detective Emeka is here in front of her, and he is threatening to break her. All those years of running in other to guide her heart from breaking seems futile now. Could this be love? A thing that makes no sense yet makes a lot of sense?
Stella is the chairwoman and director of Nature's Feel Arts and Graphics. She is a cold and reserved woman - a true definition of a woman's scorn - and everyone would rather stay out of her way. She recruits Ifeoma but not for her brains.
What could she want a mere artist for so badly that she would keep her close?
The Woman In Me is a gripping romance suspense that follows the journey of a talented young artist who fights against all odds to keep her heart from love. But when the odds presents themselves, she is no longer sure which side she is fighting on - hers or someone else's?

My love
(Y/n) may be cute and funny, but beneath her lively humor lies a strength that makes her truly unforgettable. She has a presence that draws people in-strong, dependable, and resilient, (Y/n) is the one everyone can count on, always ready with a sarcastic comeback to lighten the mood. For as long as she can remember, she's dreamed of escaping into a world of fantasy through her drawings and books. Little does she know, the fantasy she's always wished for is about to become her reality-and she'll soon discover just how strong her heart truly is. Dante has a tough exterior and a natural air of leadership; he exudes confidence and charm, and he's often the one to take charge in difficult situations. His personality is a compelling mix of gruffness and charisma, and he can be hot-tempered when provoked, especially if someone he cares about is threatened. For most of his life, Dante believed his heart kept beating only to help him survive and fulfill his duty-but little did he know his heart would soon begin to beat for someone else. ------------------------------- "What are you doing here?" Dante asked, his brows furrowed in concern. "You're really going to leave six powerless fairies to defend for themselves? And did you really think we're going to let you guys walk around here alone." I retorted, my voice dripping with sarcasm. Dante's lips quirked up in a half-smile, and I couldn't help but notice how his eyes crinkled at the corners when he did. "Fair enough," he conceded, reaching out to give my shoulder a gentle squeeze before he said "just stay close." his voice low and serious. I nodded in agreement, feeling a flutter in my chest at the thought of being by his side. ------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: None of the characters belong to me but (Y/n) and Dante. The storyline is also not mine but I will switch it up a bit. Also all pictures posted will be from Pinterest or Google and I don't know who they were originally from. Started: 15/04/2023
