Till Lies Do Us Part
"Sometimes, freedom doesn't begin with walking away-it begins with daring to imagine a life beyond survival." Esther never imagined the vows she spoke in joy would one day feel like chains. To the world, Peter was charming, successful, a man with all the right appearances. Behind closed doors, however, his love was sharp, his words cutting, his hands heavy. For years, Esther endured in silence, believing sacrifice was the cost of marriage and motherhood. Until the silence grew too loud, and the bruises-both seen and unseen-too deep. This is not just Esther's story. It is the story of countless women who wrestle between loyalty and survival, love and self-worth, fear and freedom. It is the story of a woman who learns that strength is not in staying broken, but in rising whole. In these pages, you will journey with Esther from the ashes of pain to the rebirth of her freedom song. You will witness betrayal, resilience, the bonds of family, and the kind of love that does not bind but builds. Above all, you will discover what happens when a woman finally dares to say: Enough.Concluida
The other woman's DAUGHTER
Maryam never had a say. Although her situation wasn't her fault, people never fail to rub it in her face. If she was a child out of wedlock, she wouldn't have been sad. Atleast she'd be paying for her parent's sin. If she was an Almajira, she'd still lift her head up high and accept what ever the world threw at her, atleast she would still be paying for her parent's sin for throwing her out into the streets. If she was a prostitute, Heck! she'd stand proud and tall, atleast it was her decision to sell her body to men. But, she was neither one of this things. She had lost her father, a day before she was born. Her mother got married to someone else a week later! That marriage came with a whole lot of burden. A burden she was subjected to by her gullible mother. A burden she had no choice but to embrace.Concluida

The King's Captive Rose
She was born a rose among thorns... only to be plucked by the very hand that destroyed her world. When war swallows her quiet Yoruba village and leaves her orphaned and enslaved, Arike, a breathtakingly beautiful but strong-willed village girl, is thrust into the heart of the mighty Oyo Empire. Selected as one of ten girls to be trained as royal concubines to the fearsome and power-hungry King Gezo, Arike finds herself trapped in a golden cage where beauty is weapon, silence is survival, and every smile hides a dagger. But Arike is not like the others. Beneath her soft skin and graceful steps lies a heart burning with vengeance-and a mind sharp enough to outwit queens. In a palace filled with jealous wives, seductive plots, and deadly secrets, Arike must navigate power games, brutal betrayals, and her own rising influence... all while keeping her ultimate goal hidden: To bring down the very king who made her his captive.
At War
"Obanma if you keep vibrating like a car engine, neither of us would get good sleep. I can feel the bed shaking from way over there" He gestured at the edge of the bed where lay he before. Her mouth couldn't form any words in her own defense. "I've been battling with pneumonia I would have left the bed for you. Those tiles might just worsen my case. Besides there's enough space to fit two more people on this bed." She only nodded still staring at him and recoiling inwardly at the proximity between them. Adaugo had once told her that being on the same bed with a man could make her pregnant. Oh Biology her saviour! " I am not that kind of man, I offered you a place to rest for the night and that you shall get. Sleeping with your Jean trousers on, one foot in and foot out of the bed, huddling at the edge which is quite close to the door, wouldn't really save you if I wanted something else. I am a man, I am stronger and faster. So please relax, stop shaking and go to sleep. I have a very busy schedule tomorrow and just like you, I can't sleep unless my surrounding is suitable for sleeping " How did he know all that? Was he a mind reader too? She nodded again then slowly relaxed on the bed, still very much awake. Sleeping was not really what one did in enemy camp. He smiled, gently rolling over to his side to really have a look at her. She was truly very beautiful and innocent. He knew deep down that she could escape if she wanted to, he was no superman and she would definitely elude him. His hands itched to caress and hold her, that feeling was not alien, he had always felt protective of the girl. Onyedikachi simply turned to the other side of the bed with a smile on his face and very familiar words in his heart as exhaustion drove him to sleep. Smart girl! *** Two families living peacefully as neighbors till an unfortunate event turns them into arch enemies. How long will their war last when love decides to make their children mediators?Concluida
