A Star Crossed Christmas

Christmas With You

Powei is twenty years old, she was born and raised in a Christian household family of four. She has three older brothers and she's the last born. It's her final year in university studying mass communication at a private university and it's the end of the first semester which means Christmas is approaching. Powei doesn't want to go home to her family but she can't stay in school either because it would be closed. Having no other choice, Powei goes home for the holidays and it's just her immediate older brother who's going to be home for the holidays with her. The first son, Tamuno, is happily married and lives in London with his family. The second son, Deinyefa is currently preparing for his bar finals in the law school so he doesn't want to come home and her parents excused her. Which leaves her and Tari home for Christmas. Things take a surprising turn when their mother insists that they would be spending Christmas at her older sister's family home this time since their father wouldn't be home for Christmas. Powei isn't surprised by this because her father is never around for anything that has to do with celebrations. All he does is send money. Powei feels like the change of environment could be great for her and she's excited to visit her aunty. Donald Ebiowei (22) doesn't understand why his parents insist that they have to fly in to Nigeria for the Christmas holidays this year. Since they arrived in the United States more than twenty years ago when he was just a kid, their entire life has been here. This year, his parents insist that they spend Christmas at their family home in Nigeria. Donald and his family of four eventually fly into Nigeria and this sets the pace for unprecedented activities in his life. Donald thought Christmas would be completely uneventful but meeting Powei changed everything for him. But it gets even more intriguing when Powei and Donald's relationship stirs up drama in the family. There's a history of betrayal between both families and for decades, both families swore to never be as close as they used to be. Would the two eventually overcome the family history between them? Or would they let the past affect their present. Or, would they just live in the moment and enjoy Christmas.

REBIRTH OF A MOVIE STAR

Fu Xiang, an emerging beta actor in the acting industry, believed he had it all—a steadfast best friend, a loving boyfriend, and a devoted fanbase that cherished him. Yet, in a heartbeat, his seemingly perfect life crumbled. Betrayed by those he considered family, Fu Xiang was plunged into a harrowing reality, becoming an unwilling subject of cruel experiments, and ultimately met a harrowing end. Just when he believed it was the end, he was given a new lease on life by a mysterious system. Reborn as Feng Mei Hiu, an omega heir to a multimillion-dollar empire, he faces the daunting challenge of navigating a world filled with dark schemes and hidden conspiracies. Fueled by resentment and a burning desire for revenge, Feng Mei Hiu grapples with the ties of his past as he fights relentlessly for a brighter future. Amidst schemes, betrayals, and hidden truths, Feng Mei Hiu finds his only ally in Han Yichen—an enigmatic figure to whom he is engaged. Han Yichen carries a dark past, and his secrets cling to him like scars on his skin. Will Feng Mei Hiu ever discover love and forge a new future, or will the shadows of his hatred ultimately consume him? ******* "I have been raped, humiliated, betrayed, used, and abused by the people I trusted," Feng Mei Hiu's smile was filled with pain, "the only thing that kept me alive, that made me sane, that kept me from being broken was my anger, my pain, and my faith." Feng Mei Hiu's blue eyes looked tranquil as he spoke. "Faith in myself, that one day I would make them all pay, suffer in more ways than I ever did." He smiled darkly, "I want to put them in hell and watch with a smile as they burn." "Let me stand by you; I can ensure they pay for everything. Just say the word." Han Yichen leaned in closer, their eyes locked with certainty. "You want to support me?" Feng Mei Hiu asked, surprised. "With all I've done, how could you possibly see me as anything but a monster?" "Monster?" Han Yichen embraced him tightly. "You’re not a monster; you’re my guiding star, my hope, my rescue, my angel. You lifted me from the darkness that nearly swallowed me, and now I, too, must return that gift." "I want them dead, Yichen; I want to watch them suffer and burn." "And that's exactly what we shall do, my love; we will burn their empire to the ground." Warning: The main characters grapple with mental illness and deep-seated traumas, leading to unpredictable behaviors that may challenge conventional norms. Understanding their struggles is crucial to fully appreciating their journey. Please kindly support the author with comments, votes, and gifts. Thank you for reading.

June is haunted by a lack of self-worth, deep-seated guilt, and the pressure of expectations from his family.
