"Gerald, I never wanted you to find out like this but it's now or never. Osundu and I are getting married and yes I'm having his baby.... "


                           ***

In the bustling streets of Lagos, love can be as elusive as the morning mist. 

For Gerald, a resilient young man with a tender heart, life seemed to be a never-ending cycle of heartbreak.

Over the course of just six years, he had experienced the anguish of four shattered romances, leaving him disillusioned and questioning the very essence of love.

Determined to break free from the shackles of his past, Gerald took a daring leap of faith. Fuelled by a mix of curiosity and desperation, he set out on a transformative journey into the heart of a bustling ghetto. 

As Gerald immerses himself in the chaotic tapestry of the ghetto's streets, he encounters two remarkable women who captivate his heart in different ways. 

Suzy baby, a spirited and ambitious lazy woman exudes a magnetic energy that draws him closer.

On the other hand, there is Itohan a soulful and enigmatic woman with a haunting secret. 

As the days turn into weeks, Gerald finds himself torn between two extraordinary women. 

Each holds a unique key to unlocking his heart, yet the weight of his decision hangs heavy upon him. 

Caught in the throes of passion, he grapples with the profound question of who he truly is and what love truly means.
