In the ruthless world of politics, everyone has a price. But what is the true cost of power?

Kabir Suleiman Balogun, an ambitious 32-year-old Yoruba politician, is determined to make his mark in the political arena. To secure his path to success, he forges an alliance with Fatima Zara Ahmad, a 22-year-old Gbagyi businesswoman whose family holds the key to his political ambitions.

Their union is not one of love, but a strategic move in a high-stakes game of influence and power.

From the moment Kabir and Zara meet, they clash. Their personalities, values, and even their cultural backgrounds seem at odds, turning every interaction into a battleground. Yet, with everything to lose, both must navigate the treacherous waters of politics, family expectations, and personal desires.

How far are they willing to go to hold onto power? And when alliances shift and enemies close in, will they find common ground or be torn apart by the very forces they sought to control?

Yasmine is a star girl, with plans for the future, good grades and a boyfriend to top it up but how can she survive when her enemies are her family, a menacing father willing to give her out without a second thought, a step mother cruel enough to be Shaytan himself and a step sister who's jealousy burns from within, a drive that's enough to kill a person. As her world comes crumbling down, will she crumble with it or stand in the midst of the rumble. _________ I'm not going to cry I'm not going to cry I'm not going to cry He chuckled wickedly as Hauwa stoked his hand tenderly. 'At first it was about your virginity but you were stubborn so I took it slow, till I got what I wanted' he said, his eyes void of emotion. 'Turns out you're easy and a slut at that' he completed as Hauwa laughed heartily. Tears fell from my eyes freely, like a waterfall, like dew on the desert. I swallowed to ease my parched throat as I bit my lips trying not to scream. My breath was becoming uneven as I strode to where he stood and slapped him across the face with all the anger, the sorrows and frustration that were bottled up on me. 'You disgust me' I managed to say as tears started to blur my vision and for a second I saw hurt in his eyes or maybe I assumed it. I ran, bumping into tables, chairs and people, I didn't care. Ammi always told me there was a thin line between love and hate and I had crossed that line today with Sadiq', the one that wiped away my tears and told me it was going to be fine, my calm after the storm was actually my enemy in disguise. Shit!!! When it rains it fucking pours. ____________ Will she loose herself or find love in the most unexpected place?
