In the heartbeat of Lagos, where hustle meets heartache, When Love Bleeds tells the raw, unfiltered story of Mike a broke but brilliant developer with big dreams and Danika, a resilient hairstylist caught between love, obligation, and spiritual warning.

When a chance meeting by a pool sparks an unexpected connection, the two begin building a fragile romance, pieced together by shared ambition, late-night talks, and small acts of sacrifice. But love in a city like Lagos costs more than words. As financial pressures rise and Danika’s family moves in, Mike finds himself torn between being her hero and losing himself.

Then come the signs. An oracle’s cryptic warnings. Nightmares Danika can’t shake. A pregnancy filled with complications. And a loss that breaks them both. As Danika drifts into silence, Mike spirals battling depression, betrayal, and the ghosts of a love he can’t let go.

Years pass. Cities change. But some wounds don't heal with distance. When fate brings Mike back to Danika’s hospital bedside, with a child that may not be his but a love that never truly left the two must confront everything they buried. The pain. The sacrifice. The bleeding heart that still beats for each other.

Will they choose healing over escape? Redemption over regret? Or has too much already been lost?

When Love Bleeds is an emotionally rich, spiritually charged urban love story that explores the quiet heroism of staying, the weight of cultural expectations, and what it truly costs to build a future together when the world and even the spirits seem against you.

First, thank you—truly—for your unwavering support, your time, and the love you've shown When Love Bleeds. Every comment, read, and message has meant more to me than words can express.


I write to you today with a heavy heart.


Due to a recent rejection of my publication contract, I must pause the continuation of this story. It was not a decision I made lightly, but one that became necessary as I navigate the next steps for this project and my journey as a writer.


When Love Bleeds is a story that lives deeply in my heart, and I still believe in Mike and Danika's journey—every tear, every sacrifice, and every moment of love and loss. I hope to return to their world soon, in a space where I can give their story the home and platform it deserves.


For now, I ask for your understanding and your patience. This isn't goodbye—it's just a pause.
