First off, the fact that the book is set in Nigeria is surprising; in a good way of course. Also glad the author sheds light on the unfounded hostility that the half-castes have to endure in many communities. Not leaving out the issue of abusive guardians who search for the most unreasonable excuses to get drunk and beat up, rape or molest helpless children. Over all, its a nice book. Good author-to-reader relations too. Oh lest I forget, I almost can't believe I got captivated by a book written in first person😂. That's the first since River God. Anyway, I'm impressed. Still reading tho, don't know where tf the author ran off to. Come back you silly woman! And good luck Danielle😗

Half-castes is a derogatory term, it was done away and replaced by mixed-race. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Revenge Of Billionaire's Wife

[The cover is not mine, I had just edited it.] [Warning : This book is going to contain adult scenes.] Amaya shocked and terrified to find out that her boyfriend was sleeping with her sister on the day she came out from jail, she was in jail because of her sister's mistake. She got into an accident and found herself back 7 seven years ago when everything bad with her was started, the same day in which she got into the jail because of her sister Kate's crime. Will she able to save herself this time? What will she gonna do after that? How will she going to change her faith? *********** [Amaya POV] My leg was hurting, but I tried my best to move. Before anyone came to check the balcony, I opened the window to get inside the room where I landed. Inside, I saw a man staring at me silently, as if I had committed a crime. He was staring at me constantly, as if observing from the balcony. I didn't have time to explain everything, but then he said, "You have guts to jump from the 10th floor. It's good that you're alive." As he looked at my body, I glanced down and noticed my dress was somewhat unstable from the jump. Feeling embarrassed, I quickly fixed my clothes and then looked back at him. I was stunned by his appearance; he was incredibly handsome. He had grayish eyes that seemed to pierce into someone's soul. He was taller than me, even though I'm 5.7 ft tall, he appeared to be around 6.2 ft. His body was perfectly covered by a bathrobe. Wait, he was just in a bathrobe. His face seemed familiar, like I had seen him somewhere before, but I couldn't quite place it. *********** [Adrien POV] She rushed inside the room upon hearing the police approaching to check the balcony. As she entered, she caught sight of me sitting on the bed, staring at her intently. I noticed her dress was messy. My gaze inadvertently fell on her legs, which were fair and smooth. I quickly averted my eyes when I realized what I was doing. It was embarrassing; I shouldn't have been ogling her like that. But she was the one who had leapt onto my balcony like a cat. She was cute and adorable, and I found myself waiting for her to give an excuse, but she seemed lost in thought, trying to figure out what to say. ***** [Adrien POV] I was about to say something, but then I heard a sweet and seductive voice from behind me. I knew that the policeman had also heard it. I looked inside the room, as did the police, and I was shocked to even look at her. She was just in a freaking towel around her bare body. Oh my god, I felt some sensation around my body. She was looking damn sexy. She said, "Ohhh darling, who has come to disturb us in our personal time," in a very seductive tone. My ears were burning after hearing her. She started coming near me slowly, and I looked at her body structure, her body curves near her waist. She came near me and stood beside me, keeping one hand on my shoulder, and came very close to my body. Our faces were close. I could feel her breath on my neck. She looked at the police and said, "Sir, you were disturbing us in our private time." I know how nervous she was a moment ago, but look at her now. She was very confident while speaking. Her acting is quite good though. Does she know what she was doing to me? She was very close to my face, and I could feel how smooth and beautiful her skin is. Her facial structure is very strong.

Cinderella Fell For Her Bully

“W-what do you want to do?” He removed his hand from the doorknob and walked back towards me, placing his backpack down and looked back at me. “Come sit.” He said slowly. I followed him over to the bed and sat down. “What are we going to do?” I was so nervous but there was a slight hit of anticipation in my tone that made him looked excited. “I mean, are we just sticking with what we did last time or—?“ “Tongue.” He said bluntly. “What?” “I’m going to teach you how to really kiss a guy using your tongue.” ***************************************************** Stella Hemmings aimed to leave her wicked stepmother and evil stepsister behind because they treated her like Cinderella in the fairy tale story wherein they made her do the household chores and beat her. The only difference was that her stepmother sends her to school but on one condition. She had to hide her identity, like wearing a curly wig and round glasses. Why? Because she looked exactly like her mom and her stepmother hated her mom so much that she asked her to cover her face and make herself ugly. And just like Cinderella, she also has a Prince Charming but sad to say, he was bullying her. Stella had a huge crush on him but he never noticed because she’s ugly. He only had eyes on the sexy and famous cheerleader Maxine. Knowing she couldn’t compete with Maxine, Stella hid her feelings for Tyler Lewis. However, the stupid cupid played his role and let them crossed their path in an unexpected way. Stella needed a huge amount of money for the operation of her stepbrother’s heart surgery, so she asked her friend Lisa to help her. Her salary as a part time student in the coffee shop wasn’t enough to save money for Dino’s operation. So she went with Lisa to work in one of the famous nightclub in town but soon went into trouble and the guy who bullied her in the school, saved her and saw her without the wig and the round glasses. After that incident, she tried to avoid Tyler in the school as much as she could, for he might recognize her as the girl he saved that night in the nightclub. But how could she avoid him when her feelings for him grew from infatuation to love. And despite fighting hard to keep her feelings contained by distancing herself from Tyler, he was determined to show her that he had earned a spot in his heart.
