The description of this book is honestly self-explanatory (I guess 😌). After reading so many amazing books on Wattpad and discovering a lot of incredible writers , especially Nigerians I'm super proud of .I decided to give back to the WattNaija community. I'm not a writer, but I am an amazing reader, and this is my own little way of contributing. I'll be dropping honest reviews of books I've read on Wattpad and recommending the really good ones for you to check out. I'm also open to reading requests, as long as your book is completed. Update (a year later): I've decided to start doing my reviews from a Nigerian reader's perspective, so expect a lot more focus on how the books connect with us, our culture, and our vibes.

Debare might have thrown his past away but he still had feelings for the woman who was once in it, the woman married to his bestfriend. INSIDE THE BOOK::::::::: "So you can't see it too?" she said dropping her tea cup. "see what exactly ma?" I asked getting confused. " Her child's eyes. Genesis's child had your eyes and she talks just like you too. Sharp mouthed, brave, open minded and let's not forget she's not shy either" she tried pointing out. "With all due respect ma, all these could be minor coincidence and nothings else. I saw them myself having fun on his bed and she slept there comfortably putting on what I can't even call clothes" I was already getting angry remembering the scene that took place years ago. "I dont know what you mean or what happened but I'm a mother and I know what I'm saying. That child is yours" she drank out of her tea cup. It couldn't be, I mean I saw them, she cheated and they wanted to give me someone else's child to call my own but what if it was true.

"You are not going back to that man. Over my dead body!" He yelled at me with so much anger that I was at the verge of tears. With tears already in my eyes, I feebly replied "But he's dying and_" "So let him die and before he does let him suffer!" I gasped at his response. He spoke about my father with great hate and all I could do was sit there and cry. "Listen to me Fadesewa" his voice was softer this time around. "I don't want you to go back there. He may be at the verge of death for all I care, but he failed as a father. For Christ's sake Sewa, he kicked you out of his house for not obeying his rules_" "Whatever you say, always keep in mind that that man is my father. The one who was there when my mum wasn't. So let me bare the cross and go see him." I cut him off with a cold voice that sent chills down his spine. He gazed into my eyes almost as if he was trying to figure out if I was possessed. "You'll regret this" he simply said and walked away. "Then so be it" I whispered quietly to myself in his absence, wiping away my tears. Fadesewa Hope Gbenga is your not so typical eighteen year old high school student having to deal a controlling father and his enormous rules; No male friends. No tight or revealing clothes.
