Heart Thieves
"You're heartless," Kamji said him. She was sure that if she was to cut open his chest with a blade, she would find nothing but an empty dark space and maybe with a few cobwebs. "It took a lot of courage for her to confess her feelings to you. Did you really have to say such hateful things to her?"
"I almost felt guilty a bit. I must confess you're really good at pep talk," he looked up from his book to stare at her, his brown eyes bore no emotion. "But it's as you said, a heartless human being like myself isn't capable of showing sympathy."
Kamji was a bit taken aback by his response, She couldn't tell if he was joking or being serious right now because his face was as aloof as it has always been.
"Maybe I should take the girl up on her offer and start stealing hearts to fill my empty void chest. What do you think? Being a heart thief doesn't sound like a bad idea." He tilted his head as if deep in thought.
"And I would gladly start with stealing yours." his eyes still fixated on hers as he added the last part.

Her whole little world was perfect. She had wealthy parents, the dreamiest best friend/child hood sweetheart, good grades and was the senior prefect of the most prestigious Academy in Abuja. There was nothing more she could have asked for. But after losing her mother to a dreadful heart disease, Kamji could see her whole little world crumbling down.
First her grades started to drop and after that she had lost her post as the No 1 student in school. Things got a whole lot worse when she had to transfer to a new school in Lagos leaving her bestfriend, Michael and everything else she valued behind.
But when she arrived at the new school and met Joshua, a quiet, cold guy who looked exactly like her childhood sweetheart Michael, Kamji finds herself attracted to him as she strives to uncover the mystery behind the striking resemblance.
He was the cold-hearted and anti social genius of the school who just wanted to be alone and have nothing to do with the outside world. But when he accepted the job of tutoring the new girl in school, Joshua Bakare realized that he just might have made the greatest mistake of his life. She was this beautiful, kind hearted, loving girl from a respectable well-to-do family. While he was just some low life thief living with a single drug addicted mother and surviving by engaging in fraudulent activities. There was definitely no way an Angel would get along with a Demon... But one thing the Genius failed to realize was that, Opposite Attracts.
And when Joshua was diagnosed with Coronary artery disease, the same sicknesses which took her mother's life. Kamji realized that she would have to be stronger than ever. Joshua's heart belonged to her and she was not going to let this sickness take another heart from her again. As far as she was concerned she had stolen his heart first, fair and square. She was his little heart thief and had every right to keep it.
