Updates: Once every two weeks Lolade Adebayo, a young NYSC corps member serving in Abuja, visits an art gallery, she comes face-to-face with a portrait that changes her life forever. The woman in the painting looks exactly like her. The title beneath it reads: THIS IS ME. But the artist, Omolara "Lara" Ajayi, has been dead for three years. Drawn into a mystery she never asked for, Lolade begins uncovering fragments of Lara's unfinished life-hidden letters, forgotten paintings, whispered secrets, and a trail of evidence buried beneath layers of deception. As every clue pulls her deeper into a dangerous conspiracy, she discovers that Lara's death was never the tragic accident the world believed it to be. Together with a relentless detective, Lara's grieving husband, a loyal assistant, and a little girl determined to understand what really happened to her mother, Lolade races against time to expose a powerful criminal network hiding behind Nigeria's prestigious art world. But someone is watching. Someone who has killed before. And someone who will do anything to ensure the truth remains buried. As danger closes in, grief slowly gives way to healing, strangers become family, and an unexpected bond grows-not from resemblance, but from shared courage and quiet hope. In a story where every painting hides a secret and every brushstroke carries a clue, one question remains: "If you stood before a portrait wearing your face... would you dare discover who it truly belonged to?" DOPPELGANGER is a gripping Nigerian mystery thriller filled with suspense, shocking twists, emotional depth, and a beautifully slow-burning romance that proves love is never about replacing the past-it's about finding the courage to embrace the future.

For seventeen years, I was trapped in a boring life, the people I made contact with everyday are my parent, Julia and no one else, my aunt drops by occasionally. I want more than that boring life, I want to stop being home school, I want to know how life is by not living under the watchful eyes of my parent and I got it when I spent my last year in high school at Blake high school. It was crazy, I experienced a lot, I met the mighty P-12, Every happy Linda, Annoying Amy, mysterious Isabella, Joel and his bully crew, playful Zion, boyish and troublesome Mitchello, cunny Irantiola, sweethearted Bee and my heartrob leandro. I learnt something which I still held with me till today, the people you least expected to hurt you will hurt you most, you can never tell someone can hurt you until the person hurt you. I am glad I left home, I made some mistakes and I learnt my lesson, never judge someone you just met because you can never tell their story, how life has dealt with them, what makes them what they are presently, I have a lot to talk about in my story.

In the grand, yet rigid, courts of ancient Oyo, Bewaji was an anomaly-the lastborn, rebellious, and fiercely independent, earning her the scorn and isolation of her own royal family. Treated as an outcast, her defiant spirit only hardened with each disdainful glance. But when a devastating tragedy strikes the palace, tearing at the very fabric of the royal house's esteemed reputation, the collective hatred for Bewaji reaches a fever pitch. Branded a pariah, she must now navigate a world that despises her, unravel the truth behind the catastrophe, and perhaps, against all odds, find her place in a kingdom that cast her aside.
