---------------------🥀--------------------------
In the crowded heart of Lagos, where wealth hides behind high walls and secrets bleed beneath luxury, nineteen-year-old Adaeze Eze has only ever known suffering.
Maltreated by her stepmother and ignored by a weak father who believes every lie whispered into his ears, Adaeze grows up feeling unwanted in her own home. When a "poor but responsible" man asks for her hand in marriage, her parents agree immediately - eager to get rid of her.
What they don't know... is that the man they think is struggling is actually one of Lagos' most feared and untouchable mafia lords.
Ruthless. Cold. Emotionless.
He marries her for reasons of strategy, not love.
Adaeze enters his mansion believing she has escaped one prison, only to discover she is now bound to a stranger whose world is soaked in danger. She knows nothing about his empire, his enemies, or the blood on his hands.
But something unexpected happens.
The man who never felt anything... begins to feel.
As their fragile bond slowly grows, a buried secret rises from the past - a truth capable of destroying everything.
Adaeze's stepmother didn't just hate her.
She murdered her real mother.
And the past is about to collide violently with the present.
In a city ruled by power, betrayal, and blood, love may be the most dangerous thing of all.
