Once a beloved actress in Nigeria, she walked away from the spotlight for a quiet, private life after marrying billionaire heir Olayinka Adegbite in a secret ceremony in France. Though she struggled to conceive, she poured all her love into raising her ten-year-old stepson, Tobi, treating him as her own flesh and blood. But within the walls of the prestigious Adegbite mansion in Lagos, truth is a rare commodity. Unbeknownst to Ayotunde, the family she married into thrives on manipulation, secrets, and power games. Her world crumbles the day she discovers that the quiet nanny who lives with them-Kemisola-is not just a staff member, but Tobi's biological mother. Worse still, it was Olayinka who planted her there, believing two mothers would create the "perfect upbringing." The shock shatters Ayotunde's fragile peace, but fate isn't done with her. That same day, she loses the child she had just discovered she was carrying-and her marriage. Cast out and broken, Ayotunde embarks on a journey of reclamation, truth, and revenge.

Sister Deborah
Imagine going from this: "Can I kiss you?" Those words reverberated through my ears and sent shivers down my spine, literally. I could sense the passion in her voice and the immense desire in her eyes. "Can I?" Deborah repeated, tilting her face close to mine. I steered my lips near hers and closed the gap between us, barely inches apart. _____________________________________ To this: "Neche, my love." Deborah said my name softly, almost in a whisper. She struggled to get on her feet to no avail, stretching her hands to her crutches, pissing me off with her pitiful actions. Timi leaped close to her and helped her up while I just stood there, numb, disgusted by her very presence. "Why did you bring this whore into our room, Timi?" I faced him angrily, and Deborahʼs face turned sour at my words. She looked so dazed, clearly not believing what I'd just called her. _____________________________________ Now, imagine the rest of the story. Or you could just simply read it and find out what this epic, thrilling blockbuster novel holds in store for you!Complete
