CON OF THE HEART

Rita Amadi has built her life on power, precision, and self-preservation. As the formidable CEO of a multimillion-dollar logistics empire, she’s known across Nigeria’s corporate circles as the Ice Queen brilliant, untouchable, and absolutely uninterested in love. But beneath the polished surface lies a woman tired of winning alone. Enter Deyemi Adebanjo: soft-spoken, respectful, and disarmingly attentive. A driver with no ambition but the kind of emotional intelligence that slices through Rita’s defenses. Their connection is slow, cautious, and entirely unexpected. Against every instinct, Rita lets him in. And when she proposes a secret wedding, it feels like a bold act of trust something she’s never given anyone. But just when she begins to taste happiness, her world starts to unravel. Bank accounts vanish overnight. Loyal staff disappear. Her company, once unshakable, begins to crack. Then comes the ultimate betrayal: Deyemi is not who he claimed to be. He’s a professional con artist and his entire relationship with Rita was a calculated scheme. Worse still, his ex-wife, the fiery and intelligent Nse, steps out of the shadows to reveal the cruel twist: she and Deyemi orchestrated it all as revenge. Years ago, Rita had fired Nse without warning, destroying her career and reputation. Now, the Ice Queen’s empire lies in ruins and the final twist is yet to come. Rita is pregnant. Broke, disgraced, and alone, she faces the most personal decision of her life. Will she raise a child conceived in deceit? Or will she reclaim her narrative and rebuild herself, piece by burning piece?

Mi voz con otro nombre

El nombre que nunca dije" En un mundo cubierto por océanos infinitos, existen cinco islas suspendidas entre el cielo y el mar, cuatro de ellas flotan gracias a cristales místicos impregnados con la esencia del Fénix, la deidad que, según las creencias, transformó un mundo de agua en hogar creando tierras y cristales, mientras tanto la quinta, Bahía Dorada, es la única que reposa sobre el mar tan tranquila y modesta. Las islas están conectadas por puentes donde los habitantes caminan entre ellas para llegar a su destino, aunque son grandes distancias, a su vez esta el tren mágico, que flota gracias a cristales ocultos y deja rieles efímeros en su paso. Entre rituales al Fénix y mercados de flores, los habitantes creen vivir en armonía pero bajo esa apariencia luminosa, se esconde un sistema desigual, sostenido por la idolatría y el abuso de poder. Luar, nacida en la seca Isla Árida, sueña con ser artista llegar a ser reconocida que todos vean su arte, aún con timidez a cuestas y el alma llena de trazos, parte a estudiar arte en Bahía Dorada, el único lugar que sus padres le permiten conocer Allí nace Lunaria, su nombre artístico, su máscara, la identidad que le permite crear sin ser mirada, que la protege, pero también le da voz. Cuando escucha hablar de la legendaria Ciudad de Oro, donde viven los famosos y supuestos “bendecidos por el Fénix”, Luar cree haber encontrado el camino a sus sueños. Pero descubre algo muy distinto: en ese lugar, los ricos y famosos gobiernan sin ser elegidos, usando su influencia, su imagen y la ceguera de una sociedad que los idolatra para mantener su poder, se aprovechan del fervor del pueblo, del deseo de creer en alguien más grande que ellos, y lo usan todo para burlarse, excluir y pisotear a quienes tienen menos. Luar no puede quedarse callada, poco a poco, a través de Lunaria, se convierte en algo más que una artista: en una voz para los silenciados, en una chispa en medio del fuego frío de la injusticia. Y lo que empezó como una forma de ocultarse, termina siendo la llama con la que quiere encender el cambio. "El nombre que nunca dije" es una historia de transformación, de lucha interna y colectiva, de máscaras que esconden y revelan, es el viaje de una joven que nunca mostró su verdadero rostro, pero decidió alzar su voz Una voz que arde, que inspira… aunque venga con otro nombre.

"Good lord."

The sound of slicing carrots from the kitchen was overoded with whatever sort of noise from the room of the other side. Not that the lady minded anyways, it was a sort of comfortable noise and reassurance that the kids do enjoy it here and held a certain point of comfortability. At least they weren't at all a silent suffering shell. In the other room, the kids were everywhere. Some doing risky thing, like trying to do creative tricks off a ladder, and others talking to their little group. A group of friends laid on the upper bunkers and a few kids were under one of the beds and figured that they started gossiping of heated arguments. Right in the middle of the room was a relatively small number of kids, playing a game of Duck Duck Goose maybe. They hit each other's heads as hard as they could and each reaction they got had rendered poor Jack into a wheezing gasping mess. The girl next to him was looking like she's having the time of her life, and maybe she is. Smiling beauty that could have won this year's beauty contest, was Jane -without-a-last-name. (And although she did have a last name, she prefers not to use it.) And Jane, all bright eyed and such and angel, holy and sweet and you could easily compare it to a toddler who got a bite of his first candy, was having the time of her life. _____ Alternatively, from the author. I guess you could call it a contest submission that and I am always driven by spite and also money. A friend sent this to me and somehow that turned on a sense that I should join this. WSA 2022 submission (If I recited that correctly since I'm on mobile and all) Fantasy and number 4. A female lead who's a vampire dumped at a orphanage or something. Realizes she's a vampire, goes be mature. Decided to write some backbone, a past to look back into for the future chapters. If I get more than a 100K words that would be a relief, if I get an award I think I'll just use that for my first Iphone and use that to play Genshin for the first time. ( I'll touch grass I promise. Why are most of you pay to win in that game anyway lmao) After this is done I might rewrite most things, all I'm doing now is writing every single thing that comes into mind. Though that's not assured yet. My laziness has it's ways with me. No discord, I can't manage it. No way to support me with money, I can't manage that too. Vote stuff, put whatever little thing you want in your comments, and I'll respond with memes and maybe an actual good reply. If you recognize me outside of social media, for one, this is hell, and two, I can't help but use punctuation every damn time.
