Their forbidden attraction becomes the spark that threatens to ignite a city wide conspiracy, forcing them to question the very nature of law, loyalty, and love.
CLASH OF CRIMES

Lagos Mafia Matrimony
They rule Lagos in silence, luxury, and blood. By day, they're billionaires - CEOs of Nigeria's most powerful conglomerate, Aureum Corporation. By night, they're kings of the underground. Leo. Michael. Scott. Obi. Matteo. Five ruthless men bound by violence, loyalty, and empire. And at their side? Four women who weren't handed crowns - they earned them. Zayden, the CEO with a legacy of blood and brilliance. Debbie, the fashion mogul who dresses queens and undresses enemies. Stacie, the influencer who turned fame into control. Betta, the silent millionaire who owns the shadows. But when Matteo - the coldest of them all - invites a woman named Siena into their world, everything changes. She's not rich. She's not refined. She's not ready. But she might be the second most dangerous queen of them all. ⸻ Power is inherited. Fear is learned. But to sit on this council... You have to earn your seat - or die trying.
Triangle
In the restless heart of Lagos, a wayward son drifts home-pulled back by ghosts he never really outran. Behind the lazy smirk and half-lidded eyes hides a mind that sees too much, reads too deep, always three steps ahead in a city where everyone wears a mask. As loyalties twist and forbidden lines blur, old betrayals surface-sharp enough to cut through blood ties and fragile desires alike. Set against the noise of Lagos streets and the silence of things better left unsaid, Triangle is a story of love, lies, and the dangerous geometry of survival.

SCANDAL
At 3:27 a.m., rain falls softly over Makoko, the kind of rain that feels less like weather and more like memory. Zainab Olawale stands beneath a flickering streetlight, holding a Bible she did not come to pray with. Inside it is a note written by a person who knew they might not survive long enough to explain. A name. A warning. A confession written in fear. Dimeji Koleosho. To most people, he is a senator. To Zainab, he is something closer to a wound. Years ago, her father lost everything. His reputation. His voice. His life, in ways that never made the news. No one ever told her why. Until now. Zainab is not searching for justice in the grand, heroic sense. She is searching for understanding. For the truth behind a past that refuses to stay buried. Each step she takes pulls her deeper into a Lagos that exists beneath the bright lights - a city of offshore accounts, silenced journalists, compromised pastors, and powerful men who never get their hands dirty. The closer she gets to the truth, the more she begins to understand that some secrets are not hidden. They are protected. And sometimes, the most dangerous moment is not when you uncover a secret... But when you realize you can no longer look away. Scandal is a story about power, silence, faith, and the quiet courage it takes to choose the truth, even when it costs everything.Lengkap
