Curtains Of Unhappiness
"Stop… please," I begged, voice ragged, retreating with each blow.
"No, you stop right there!" His eyes were wild now, spitting venom. "You think any man will look at you twice? A fat hippo like you? You think anyone will touch you? You're nothing, Timi. Nothing!"

Timi never imagined her search for love would end in a police interrogation room.
From the moment she arrived in Lagos, life has been a restless battle between survival and desire. Her relationship with Raymond — once tender — spirals into control, humiliation, and violence. When she finally dares to break free, she stumbles into the arms of Gregory Francis, a wealthy and enigmatic car importer whose touch awakens a hunger she has never known. But Gregory carries a dark shadow around, wrapped in grace and elegance. A shadow that threatens to consume them both— Natasha.
As Timi navigates lust, betrayal, and the lingering grip of her abusive ex, secrets unravel in brutal ways, and every choice drags her further into a web where passion and danger blur.
Now, sitting before an officer, Timi lays bare her story — piece by piece — confessing how love, jealousy, and desperation collided into a nightmare. Each revelation pulls her deeper into the mystery of herself, of Gregory, and of the horrific events that brought her to the police desk.
Gripping, sensual, and devastating, Curtains of Unhappiness is a confessional Nigerian thriller where the boundaries between love and destruction collapse — and survival comes at the cost of truth.
