In Love With My Bully

“Why didn’t you tell me?” “Tell you what, Richard? What would you have done?” “I don’t know. Apologized sooner? Bought you a burger to make up for it?” Her eyes lit up with fire, “You think what you did to me… you think a burger can make up for it?” her eyes twinkled like she was fighting tears. Did I hurt her that badly? I was just a foolish teenager. “Nita, I am sorry. I was young, I was stupid. I wish I could take it all back and tell you how I feel instead of being a constant jerk to gain your attention.” “How did you feel that would justify what you did to me?” I paused for a minute, finding the words. “I had a huge crush on you at the time. And I didn’t know how to express myself. I was full of myself, I was the school’s ladies' man and the one girl I had eyes for didn’t even care if I existed,”  “And that justified what you did to me? Richard, you broke me. I can forgive you for ‘accidentally’ spilling your ice cream on me, or throwing my due assignment in the toilet, or the gum in my hair, or the glue in my chair but tell me how can I forgive you for what you did that night? Tell me!” “What night? Nita, what are you talking about?” “Remember when you asked me if I knew who sexually assaulted me?” I nodded, but what does that have to do with anything?  The more we spoke, the more confused I became. “You did and I cannot believe that you would stand there and pretend like it didn’t happen!” Nita has spent years trying to forget the torment she endured at the hands of Richard. When her family’s financial ruin forces her into an arranged marriage, she is horrified to find out the groom himself was her bully. Richard, a charming and successful businessman meets the first woman to be repulsed by him. Intrigued, he proposes a deal of a one year marriage of convenience. Navigating life as a couple, old wounds reopen, buried memories surface. As Richard learns more about his wife, he finds that he has enemies that followed him from his past to continuously cloud his wife’s judgement. Will Nita believe the truth and bury old wounds or will the pain of the past prove too strong to heal?

Chronicles of Vortex

The Godborn: A Legacy of Chaos and Divinity From the celestial expanse where gods weave destiny and chaos battles order, Ikeng, the trickster god, walks among mortals. Cloaked in human form as Richard, he suppresses his divine abilities, knowing that revealing them would summon the wrath of the Agents of Chaos, beings sworn to eradicate divine interference. For centuries, he moves unseen, avoiding deep attachments—especially love—for any child of his blood would act as a beacon to those who hunt him. But in 1984, in the bustling city of Onitch, fate sets a different course. A Love That Defies Fate Working at The Guardian Telecommunication Company, Richard has blended into the mortal world. That is, until he meets Beatrice, a fiery activist fighting against government corruption. Her passion awakens something long buried in him, and despite his caution, he falls in love. Their union leads to the birth of Vincent Ikenga, a child whose very existence threatens the cosmic balance. A World Consumed by War As Beatrice and Richard expose corruption, the country descends into turmoil. Protests, bloodshed, and rebellion grip the land. When the president is assassinated, dark magic carved into his chest, the world erupts into chaos. Forced to intervene, Richard breaks his centuries-old vow and uses his godly powers to restore order—drawing the eyes of the Agents of Chaos. The Night of Betrayal In 1993, on a storm-ravaged night, their home is attacked. An Agent of Chaos, wrapped in shadows and wielding eldritch power, comes to claim Richard and his son. A battle of godly proportions shakes the earth, but even a god has limits. Knowing he cannot destroy the Agent in the mortal realm, Richard makes a terrible choice—he banishes himself and the Agent into the Realm of the Gods, leaving Beatrice and Vincent behind. The Godborn Rises The world believes Richard died a hero, and a memorial is built in Onitch, honoring him as the Superhero Dad. But Beatrice knows the truth—that one day, whatever took Richard will return for Vincent. As Vincent grows, so do his unnatural abilities: the power to see through deception, hear whispers of the divine, and summon forces unknown to men. By his eighteenth birthday, he stands before his father’s memorial and vows: "I will find you, Father. And I will destroy those who took you." The ground trembles, the winds roar, and power surges through his veins. And so begins the legend of Vince Ikeng, the Godborn—a child of both mortal and divine, destined to shake the heavens.
