SS3 was supposed to be simple. Survive the exams. Figure out university. Navigate her parents' expectations. Make it to graduation. Adeola would probably have a better chance if she didn't overthink everything or somehow keep finding herself in situations she never asked for. But between friendships, family expectations, school, exams, and feelings she's still figuring out, her final year is turning out a little differently than planned. Maybe growing up is just learning to figure things out as you go.

Myra Nwaeze (25) is the founder of Myra Events, one of Lagos's most sought-after event planning companies. She is sharp, composed, and relentlessly capable - a woman who has built something real from nothing and carries the weight of it daily. She is also, underneath all of that, a lover girl to her core: someone who believes in the spark, who loves deeply when she loves, and who has learned - through experience - to guard that depth carefully. When her close high school friend Ada Okoli asks her to plan the biggest wedding of her career, Myra takes the job with her usual thoroughness. Ada's family is old money. Her mother, the formidable Mrs. Okoli, has been quietly grooming Myra as a potential match for her eldest son Chidi - charming, handsome, and exactly the kind of man Myra has spent years learning to step around. What nobody accounts for is the other son. Uche Okoli (30) is an architect who spent thirteen years building his life in New York before a drunk driver changed everything six months ago. The accident left him with scars, a walking stick, and a leg that may never fully recover. It also left him with PTSD, anxiety, and an acute sense of unworthiness that he has been managing - poorly - since he returned to Lagos a month before the novel opens. He is quiet, patient, and perceptive in the way of someone who has stopped expecting good things and pays very close attention to anything that resembles one. Their first meeting is thirty seconds of professional courtesy and cold efficiency on her part. She finds him unsettling in a way she files immediately under irrelevant. He finds her coldness fascinating in a way he cannot explain. The problem is that they keep ending up in the same rooms - at the engagement dinner, in the village compound for the traditional wedding, at the Lekki mansion during white wedding preparations - and thirty seconds becomes something neither of them planned for.

I'm Gaius Dominic. An avenger. The only legitimate son of the late deputy senate president (Senator Uche Dominic). CEO and legitimate owner of the Dominics multipurpose company. Number two in command of the organization (my uncle's empire). An assassinator, a philanderer, a gambler, and of course, one of the African famous young business tycoon.

And i am confuse and don't know on who's side to stand. But one thing for sure is that i rather die than letting those i love get hurt again. By Kingz Gaius Chinedu

Jade Dima has spent her entire life feeling like an outsider. Discovered as the long-lost daughter of one of Nigeria's most powerful families, she gained a surname, wealth, and a place in a world she never truly belonged to. While everyone else saw a fairy tale, Jade knew the truth. In the Dima family, love was conditional, loyalty was political, and every relationship came with a price. When a scandal threatens to destroy a century-old alliance between two billionaire dynasties, Jade makes a decision that changes her life forever. One minute she is a wedding guest. The next, she is the bride. Married to the notoriously private Robert George, heir to one of the largest business empires in the world, Jade finds herself trapped in an arrangement neither of them chose. Their union saves both families from public humiliation, but it also drags them into a ruthless game of inheritance, expectations, and family obligations that stretches far beyond either of them. Robert is everything Jade dislikes. Cold, distant, calculating, and married to his work. Jade is everything Robert never expected. Loud when she wants to be, stubborn when challenged, and far less willing to obey than either family anticipated. With powerful relatives watching their every move, old betrayals resurfacing, and the future of two dynasties resting on their shoulders, Jade and Robert must learn how to navigate a marriage built on duty rather than affection. But the more time they spend together, the more dangerous their arrangement becomes. Because somewhere between family expectations, public appearances, and private battles, they begin to forget one important thing. This marriage was never supposed to become real.
