                           ***

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.

"Obanma if you keep vibrating like a car engine, neither of us would get good sleep. I can feel the bed shaking from way over there" He gestured at the edge of the bed where lay he before. Her mouth couldn't form any words in her own defense. "I've been battling with pneumonia I would have left the bed for you. Those tiles might just worsen my case. Besides there's enough space to fit two more people on this bed." She only nodded still staring at him and recoiling inwardly at the proximity between them. Adaugo had once told her that being on the same bed with a man could make her pregnant. Oh Biology her saviour! " I am not that kind of man, I offered you a place to rest for the night and that you shall get. Sleeping with your Jean trousers on, one foot in and foot out of the bed, huddling at the edge which is quite close to the door, wouldn't really save you if I wanted something else. I am a man, I am stronger and faster. So please relax, stop shaking and go to sleep. I have a very busy schedule tomorrow and just like you, I can't sleep unless my surrounding is suitable for sleeping " How did he know all that? Was he a mind reader too? She nodded again then slowly relaxed on the bed, still very much awake. Sleeping was not really what one did in enemy camp. He smiled, gently rolling over to his side to really have a look at her. She was truly very beautiful and innocent. He knew deep down that she could escape if she wanted to, he was no superman and she would definitely elude him. His hands itched to caress and hold her, that feeling was not alien, he had always felt protective of the girl. Onyedikachi simply turned to the other side of the bed with a smile on his face and very familiar words in his heart as exhaustion drove him to sleep. Smart girl! *** Two families living peacefully as neighbors till an unfortunate event turns them into arch enemies. How long will their war last when love decides to make their children mediators?
