When 22-year-old Kikelomo Olayiwola gets selected for an exclusive, all-expenses-paid art residency at the prestigious Olowo Art Pavilion in Ibadan, she believes her big break has finally come. The gallery is legendary, the artists are elite, and the curators? Cold, eccentric, and obsessed with control.
But once inside, she realizes this isn't just a space for creativity. It's a house of secrets, whispers, and rituals. Artists start disappearing. Paintings bleed. Doors lock without reason. And somehow, her art seems to know things she hasn't yet told anyone.
As her sense of reality unravels, Kikelomo must decide: is this all in her head, or is the gallery alive-and hungry?
Because in Olowo Pavilion, you don't just create art.
You become it.

Heavenly Inferno
When the prestigious Elysian Gallery unveils a chilling new exhibition from an anonymous artist known only as A.S.M., whispers ripple through the elite art world. The pieces are hauntingly beautiful-gruesome, surreal, and disturbingly intimate. Sculptures made of what appears to be synthetic flesh, paintings that unsettle the subconscious, and arrangements that look almost too... anatomical to be fake. Anaisa Willow Fairchild, an avid lover of the macabre and a passionate student of dark aesthetics, attends the exhibit out of curiosity-but what she finds awakens something deeper. She doesn't recoil. She understands. She sees. Also in attendance: Dr. Hannibal Lecter. Quiet. Observing. Disguised as just another curious patron, he watches Anaisa with intrigue. She does not flinch before the monstrous beauty of his creations-she lingers. She appreciates. She reveres. Unaware of his true identity, Anaisa begins a dangerous waltz with a man who sees her fascination as something divine. And in a world of masks, murder, and mirrors, the question is not whether she'll discover the truth... ...but whether she'll embrace it.Concluida

IN THE NAME OF DESIRE: a prayer unfinished
His eyes grow heavy, and then, in a voice so low it barely exists, "I want you." I freeze. "Every bit of you. Naked and clothed. Vain and deep. Bratty and unsure. Every piece you have to offer." ----------- He told himself he shouldn't look at her. Shouldn't think about her. Shouldn't want her. But he did. An Egyptian man, raised among women who valued modesty, where faith was unshaken and restraint was second nature. But here, in Nigeria, at one of its most prestigious universities, his convictions wavered. Everything about this place was loud-the voices, the laughter, the confidence. But nothing unsettled him more than her. A Nigerian Woman. The way she dressed. The way she carried herself. The way she met his gaze without fear. He had been taught that women like her were reckless, unrestrained. He had been warned against their kind. Yet, why couldn't he look away? He needed focus. School. Graduation. Home. That was the plan. That was the only path. But distraction had a name. And she was a fire in his veins. Now, he had to choose-duty or desire. -----------------------Concluida

Cael built his empire on secrets, sin, and silence. But when Aurelia steps into his world, she doesn't just threaten his control - she reminds him of everything he's tried to bury. Her fire awakens something lethal in him: a need to possess, to protect, to destroy. What starts as a professional transaction turns into a dangerous obsession - one that could unearth the truth about Aurelia's past and ignite a war Cael has spent years trying to prevent. Their love is magnetic, toxic, inevitable - and it might just burn the entire city down.
