    Aderiyike Olayinminu was supposed to be starting over. After losing her job and returning to her parents' house with more shame than luggage, the last thing she needed was a wedding invitation from Ewatomi, her secondary school classmate and Lagos socialite, the kind of woman who made success look effortless. Everyone loved Ewatomi Olabiwonninu. Or at least, everyone pretended to. She had money, beauty, connections, and a way of looking at people that made them feel like problems she hadn't yet figured out how to solve. Riyi had to attend the wedding since her parents wanted her to break out of her isolation. But that Saturday morning, inside a packed event center bursting with aso-ebi lace, gele, jollof rice, talking drums, and guests spraying money like there's no tomorrow, someone finally decided they were done pretending. Ewatomi never made it to the reception. She was found murdered in cold blood in the dressing room. The problem was that everyone was in the hall. Everyone was accounted for. Nobody left. And yet, someone killed her. The groom looks guilty. The mother-in-law never bothered to hide her hatred. And the bridal train? Every single one of them is smiling a little too calmly for women who just lost their friend. Riyi has no badge, no plan, and no reason to get involved. She only has too much time on her hands, nothing left to lose, and a terrible feeling she can't shake: that the killer is standing close enough to touch her. Everybody has a motive. Nobody has an alibi. And the truth? No one will see it coming. Some invitations come with a price. Cover Design by the talented @cynthiaainsleywrites here on Wattpad

    The Republic Unravelled: Noctis' Stand Some men are remembered because they survived. Noctis Daybreak is not one of them. Nigeria is a nation held together by a motto no one believes anymore. The institutions stand. The speeches are made. The ceremonies continue. And the people who ask the wrong questions - disappear quietly or loudly, depending on how afraid the powerful have become. Noctis Daybreak asked the wrong questions. A lawyer. An activist. A man who believed that truth, spoken with enough precision and enough courage, could crack the architecture of a corrupt republic. He was not wrong. That was precisely the problem. This is not a story about whether he falls. It is a story about what he chose to stand for - and why that choice, even now, refuses to be buried with him. The republic unraveled. But Noctis' stand - that endures. What will you do with yours?

    "You always do this, it's not a fucking game to me. I am in love with you." She laughed, the same humorless laugh she had laughed that day- that same day her ex-boyfriend tried to take his own life on live TV. "I mean statistically, high school romances end all the time even before the first year of college. Don't do this to yourself. We both had fun. But this, whatever this is has run its course." He opened his mouth to say something to her but no words came out. He was too hurt and dumbfounded to speak. She had played him and he had fallen for it, he was right where she wanted him and there was nothing he could do about it. This girl, standing before him who had sworn to give him heaven on earth was breaking his heart again but unlike her ex, he wasn't going to take his own life, he was going to take hers.

    "I'm sorry, Esther," he said, his voice low and deep. I sighed, folding my arms across my chest. "You don't have to apologize to me, Zayne." "Oh, but I do." His gaze didn't waver. "You know... even though you're the first girl I've ever apologized to, all I can think about is kissing you." A chorus of gasps rippled through my dorm mates and friends. "Are you crazy?" I asked, my voice edged with embarrassment. I couldn't believe he had just said that in front of everyone. "Maybe," he replied, his sharp green eyes fixed on me. ............ Esther Oyinkansola Aneke, a Nigerian girl with dreams bigger than the life she left behind, flew to America with her family-her mother and her sister-in search of a new beginning. A life of peace. A chance at success. All made possible by a scholarship she earned to an elite college known as The Legacy. She was bold, caring, and effortlessly confident- the life of the party, yet unafraid to speak her mind to anyone who would listen. But beneath that vibrant spirit was a past shaped by hardships. And so, with quiet determination, Esther carried a promise in her heart-to build a better life, not just for herself, but for the family who had always stood by her. Zayne Luther Russo, an Italian who had relocated to America a few years earlier, was now a third-year student at The Legacy.He was known by everyone-though not truly known at all-Dangerous, Brooding, Quiet, a mystery that lingered in every room he entered. Whispers followed him wherever he went, growing louder after the news about his father surfaced-a man rumored to be deeply entangled in the mafia. From that moment on, Zayne became more than just a student; he became someone people feared, someone they kept their distance from. Untouchable, Unreadable, and definitely not someone to be messed with. Watch how two people from entirely different world meet and fall in love 🤭🤭
