Will I continue to wait, should I even be waiting... Sky is twenty-two, empathetic, sweet, and quietly passionate. She loves dogs, feels deeply, and carries a little bit of knowledge about everything, enough to see the world for what it is and imagine what it could be. To everyone else, she is already enough. To herself, she feels unfinished, as if something within her is still waiting to grow. Most nights, Sky sits by her bedroom window, staring into the stars, lost in thought. Garfield, her dog, stays close, offering comfort without questions. And at the center of her heart is Chula, her lover, familiar, safe, and deeply loved. Their relationship is gentle and real, built on warmth, understanding, and the kind of connection that feels like home. But at twenty-two, love exists alongside becoming. Sky isn’t unhappy, she’s wondering. Wondering who she might be if she listened to the quiet voice inside her asking for more. Nothing is broken. Nothing is ending. Yet she finds herself standing at a crossroads she never expected. She isn’t afraid of losing Chula, she’s afraid of losing herself while holding on. And she wonders if choosing herself will mean letting go of the person who once felt like home. For How Long, Chula? is a tender, deeply human story about love at the edge of change, the ache of growth, and the courage it takes to honor your heart without knowing what it might cost.

In the kingdom of Beguisra, power is inherited, but love and betrayal decide who truly rules. When President Sebastian Rutherford names his younger son Diamond as heir, he ignites a storm of jealousy, revenge, and heartbreak. His wife, Ashton Lincoln, schemes to crown her eldest son Nolan, setting off a chain of tragedies that shatter the family. Yet destiny has other plans: Ashton is reborn as Lillian Franklin, determined to heal the wounds she once caused. From the ashes of betrayal rise two children — Jenna Cooper and Jayden Clinton, twins torn apart at birth. Jayden is raised as a weapon of vengeance, while Jenna grows into a fearless leader, her strength forged in hardship and love. Their paths collide with secrets, forbidden romances, mafia intrigues, and battles for survival, until the truth of their bloodline is revealed. At the heart of it all is Jenna’s turbulent love with Alistair Everett, tested by family opposition, betrayal, and sacrifice. As wars rage, mafias fall, and dynasties crumble, Jenna must embrace her destiny as the daughter of Diamond Rutherford and the future President of Beguisra. In a breathtaking climax of sacrifice and redemption, Jayden gives his life to save his father, and Lillian redeems herself in death, ending Nolan’s reign of terror. The family mourns, but Jenna rises — scarred yet unbroken — ready to lead Beguisra into a new era.

A love that was never meant to exist. A family built on a truth no one knew. And a question that changes everything. When Amina arrives in the city searching for the father she has never known, she does not expect to find connection, let alone love. But a chance meeting with Kunle Adeyemi draws her into a relationship as quiet as it is profound. What neither of them knows is that Kunle’s father is the very man Amina has come looking for. Samuel Adeyemi built his life on duty, loyalty, and the belief that the past had already taken what it would from him. But a letter he never expected forces him to confront a truth buried for more than two decades: a daughter born of a moment he never knew had consequences. As love deepens and secrets unravel, a family is pushed toward a revelation that will alter every relationship within it. What begins as romance becomes a reckoning. What feels like fate becomes a test of loyalty, identity, and forgiveness. Who’s Fault? is a haunting, emotionally rich story about love caught in the crossfire of truth, and the devastating cost of what is left unsaid.
