Decietful Allure (Around the fireplace series)

The light of the fireplace cast long shadows on the wall, the fire reflected in the eyes of the woman sitting on the couch with a blanket over her shoulders. She had a bittersweet smile on her face as her mind traveled to the past days, nights long passed, nights she shared with her family when she was a kid. Memories she hoped to bring alive if possible. First story: a story adaptation of a popular folklore in Nigeria; The Princess and the half man; She had sworn on her mother's grave never to be blinded by emotions. But It'd seem she took after her mom in that aspect after all. Throwing all caution to the wind just for a man. She had thought she was different from the rest, leave it to reality to smack her back to her senses. Her feelings for her dad was complicated, she could say she hated him, but that was not quite true, no matter what, he was still her father. The one who pampers and gives in to her every whim. She knew it was partly guilt and the fact she was his only daughter out of a battalion of boys that contributed to his attitude towards her. But so what, she didn't care much for affection, all she had cared for was getting what she wanted, and that had been true about her, until now. Authors note: As a kid my dad will always sit us down at night, outside, in the darkness and tell us the most delightful stories of kingdoms long passed, Princesses and princes, magical creatures, much to the delight of us kids. But there's not much of that nowadays. So I want to share these delightful stories with everyone and I hope by doing this, these stories will not get lost in the sands of time. Thank you, have a nice read.

Joy Davidson Series

In a world where the past never truly stays buried, Joy Davidson finds himself at the center of a mystery far greater than he ever imagined. What begins as a simple love story soon spirals into an intense battle for survival, scientific discovery, and the fight against a powerful force determined to control the future. Book 1: Joy Davidson – Into the Jungle Joy Davidson had everything—a promising career, the love of his life, and a secret he barely understood. On the night he planned to propose to Tia Carter, everything changed. One moment, he was in a candlelit restaurant; the next, he woke up in the depths of the Congo Basin, alone and hunted. Struggling to survive in an endless jungle with no memory of how he got there, Joy encounters deadly predators, an abandoned hut with a terrifying past, and a mysterious leopard he names Leo. As he forms an unlikely bond with the beast, he begins to piece together a chilling truth—his presence in the jungle is no accident. Someone sent him here, and they don’t plan on letting him leave. Meanwhile, back home, his daughter, Tina Davidson, finds a hidden diary, a cryptic map, and a strange stone linked to an ancient secret. As she and her cousin Roy dig deeper into Joy’s disappearance, they realize that his vanishing is connected to something far bigger than they ever imagined. But the jungle holds its own secrets, and as Joy fights for his life, he must uncover the truth before it’s too late. Because the forces hunting him are closer than he thinks—and they want him silenced. Book 2: Joy Davidson – The Project Months after Joy Davidson’s mysterious return, his past refuses to let go. A name haunts his nightmares—Victor Esono, a powerful figure lurking in the shadows. When Tina and Roy uncover more of Joy’s research, they realize he was working on something dangerous—Project Vitalix-X, a genetic experiment with the power to alter human DNA. But Joy was never a willing participant. Forced by Victor Esono, a ruthless billionaire with a dying son, Joy was pushed to create a cure—one that could either save a life or destroy countless others. And when he tried to escape, he paid the price. As Tina and Roy chase the truth, Joy is pulled back into a world of deception, blackmail, and scientific horrors. And when he’s abducted once more, he awakens in a place he knows all too well—the jungle. This time, he remembers everything. The virus inside him, the experiments on the animals, and the truth about Leo. With time running out, Joy must rally the jungle’s survivors—including Leo and the victims of the experiment—to take the fight back to those who wronged them. Because Project Vitalix-X isn’t just about control. It’s about reshaping the world. And if Victor Esono succeeds, there will be no escape for anyone. Book 3: Joy Davidson – The Legacy The war isn’t over. With Joy missing once again and the jungle’s secrets spilling into the world, Tina and Roy must finish what he started. A single name holds the key—Henry Banner, the scientist who disappeared decades ago, leaving behind clues in the diary Joy left behind. As they uncover the final pieces of the puzzle, they realize the truth: Project Vitalix-X wasn’t just about a cure. It was about evolution. The virus isn’t just inside Joy—it’s inside Tina, Roy, and countless others. It’s changing them, and soon, the world will never be the same. With Victor Esono tightening his grip on power, the final battle begins. Tina must embrace her father’s legacy, Joy must face the monster he helped create, and Leo must lead the jungle’s warriors into a fight that will determine the fate of humanity itself. Because some secrets should remain buried. But when they surface, they rewrite history. And in the end, the jungle never forgets.

A little too strong and the universe collapses in on itself and a little too weak, it expands so fast that the creation of stars, planets, and other celestial bodies would not have been possible. Does this hint toward the universe having a sentient creator? Who knows. Regardless of the existence of a creator, there is one question that will probably remain unanswered for eternity and beyond. What created the creator or the universe in case there was no creator?" The world faced an unprecedented crisis. Nearly 25% of the world's population had been reduced to ashes in a single day, the "Dawn of Apocalypse". What followed was destruction on an even larger scale caused by even more bizarre and unexplainable phenomena. The world changed at a pace thought to be unaccomplishable by mankind, but as always there was a class of people for whom the world remained the same more or less. Markus was one such person. Being separated from his family at birth and living on the streets since the tender age of 6 years old, every day was usually a fight for survival. A life where the possibility of sleeping with a full stomach every day seemed bleak, Markus did not have any hopes or dreams, his only reason for living was that death had not yet come to him. One fine day, his life turned upside down and it all changed with a single message: [Welcome, To the Jungle]... ============================================ Release Schedule: At least 6 chapters a week, each chapter 1500 to 2500 words (Usually leaning on the 1500 words side). ============================================ To Readers: In case you have queries, post them in the comment section (of any chapter paragraph or the novel's page itself).
