In the dimly lit corridors of Nigerian University, secrets whisper louder than truths.
professor Elias Vane is a man forged in silence-brilliant, feared, and dangerously magnetic. Scarred by a dark past and bound by a strict code of ethics, he keeps his distance from everyone, especially his students. But when 20-year-old Amara James stumbles into his philosophy seminar-brimming with fire, defiance, and a haunting vulnerability-his carefully controlled world begins to crumble.
Amara is everything he shouldn't want. Young. Reckless. Off-limits. But Elias finds himself drawn to her in ways he can't explain or resist. She's hiding demons of her own-ones that recognize the shadows in him like an old friend. The more he pushes her away, the deeper she digs into his soul.
What begins as stolen glances and veiled tension erupts into a forbidden affair-obsessive, consuming, and toxic. Elias is possessive, protective, and willing to destroy anything that threatens to take Amara away from him, even if that threat is himself. But secrets buried in the past don't stay dead for long, and as their twisted bond tightens, the consequences of their love begin to spiral out of control.
How far will he go to keep her?
And how much of herself is Amara willing to lose to stay?
MY RUIN is a dark, taboo romance where love crosses lines, power seduces innocence, and obsession turns deadly.
[COMPLETED] "I-I've never kissed anyone before." Matthew whispers and my eyes widen in shock.
This gorgeous giant has never kissed anyone before. Then that must mean......
"Are you a virgin?" I whisper, playing with his tie as he looks up at me from his seated position with wide eyes. He gulps and I can tell he's embarrassed as his neck begins to tint red.
"I am."
