Ahmaya’s life had always been surrounded by questions and oddities. A mysterious tree in her grandma’s home, strange occurrences, and an unsettling distance between her and her family had created a sense of isolation. Her mother’s sudden disappearance left a void that no one spoke about, and the more Ahmaya tried to fit in, the more she felt out of place. But everything changes when she starts to awaken to the truth about herself. As she begins to understand her divinely bestowed powers, Ahmaya realizes that her life, and the lives of those around her, were never what they seemed. Her family, once thought to be ordinary, reveals layers of secrecy and divine connections that Ahmaya hadn’t even imagined. The tree at her grandma’s home, once just an oddity, becomes a portal—leading her to uncover the hidden world of divine protectors and sacred duty. But the true twist comes when Ahmaya is suddenly transported back in time, to 1935. There, she encounters key figures from the past—people who she recognizes from her present life in 2024. These connections run deeper than she could ever have imagined. As she uncovers the truth about her past and the role she plays in the eternal cycle of life, love, and protection, Ahmaya’s heart and spirit awaken to the divine purpose that was always waiting for her. In this tangled web of time, Ahmaya must navigate both her earthly and mystical realms, discovering her true identity, embracing her divine mission, and forming bonds with the very people who shaped her destiny in both the past and present. With newfound strength and understanding, Ahmaya steps into the role she was always meant to play—the guardian of a sacred truth that spans across generations. ………………… A/N:Cover art is an original piece created by the author.

But Jacob is not prepared for what awaits him. From the very first moment, he is struck by a harsh reality: the school is ruled by Adam, a tall, athletic seventeen-year-old who enforces his own brutal code, running the school like a self-proclaimed king. Adam demands Jacob's loyalty. Jacob refuses. He won’t bow. He won’t follow. In no time, Jacob becomes the school’s outcast, isolated in a corrupted system... until Houssam appears.

Mandy Morgan thought she had her life figured out—until it all shattered. Working as a competent manager at Vienna Suites in Owerri, Nigeria, Mandy carries the scars of a previous relationship that nearly destroyed her. Lonely yet guarded, she finds unexpected solace in a mysterious online connection with Jayson Anderson, a dark, alluring man who quickly consumes her heart and mind. What starts as a few flirtatious chats soon morphs into something deeper and dangerously intoxicating. Jayson is everything Mandy never thought she needed—dominant, enigmatic, and emotionally elusive. Their late-night conversations become her escape, even as red flags begin to appear. Mandy’s heart overrules her reason. She knows he’s not offering commitment, yet she clings to the illusion that he might change. After two intense months, she travels to Abuja to meet him, and reality hits harder than expected. Jayson is charming in person, just as magnetic as his messages promised—but emotionally distant and cold when she needs him most. Their time together is passionate and unforgettable, yet every tender moment is followed by a wave of detachment. Upon returning to Owerri, Mandy begins to unravel. Jayson becomes less present, more absent, and painfully unreliable. Meanwhile, Nathan Hydes, a wealthy and kind-hearted executive she meets through work, begins to show interest in her. Nathan is everything Jayson is not—attentive, stable, patient. But Mandy is too emotionally entangled in her illusion to truly see him. As weeks pass, Jayson ghosts her, returns with weak apologies, then disappears again, leaving Mandy stuck in a painful limbo of hope and confusion. Her emotional decline becomes visible at work. Rumors among staff about inappropriate affairs trigger Mandy’s fierce sense of professionalism, and she begins to assert control—but inside, she's crumbling. With Christmas around the corner, Mandy’s best friend Hazel arrives from abroad and immediately notices her friend’s decline. Hazel becomes the voice of truth, urging Mandy to wake up and see Jayson for who he really is—a fantasy, a carefully crafted illusion of love. Slowly, Mandy is forced to confront the painful truth: her relationship with Jayson was never real—it was all desire, not devotion. Heartbroken and disillusioned, she begins the long journey toward healing. Even when Nathan expresses his love and offers her a fresh start, Mandy isn’t ready. She’s broken, confused, and lost. But she knows one thing for sure—she has to choose herself this time.
