Born To Kill Him
She followed the money. It led her to herself.
Amara Okonkwo enters Adeyemi Group to conduct a forensic audit, expecting hidden money and corporate secrets. Instead, the trail leads to Matteo Greco—a murdered business partner, the father she never knew, a brother who has been watching from the shadows, and Kolade Adeyemi, the son of the man who destroyed her family. As thirty years of lies begin to unravel, Amara must decide whether truth demands revenge, whether love can survive inherited guilt, and whether anyone else gets to decide what she was born for.

STAR-MARKED
Emre Osei-Kaya has spent nineteen years ignoring the celestial system that failed to give him a designation. He built a life instead—an architecture career in Edinburgh, a world he understands, and no interest in finding out why the stars could never name him. Then he dreams of a collapsing building, a dying man and a woman he has never met. Hours later, that woman steps into his path. Her name is Saoirse Adeyemi-Walsh. She is a Bridge—one of the rare few born to connect people, systems and things that should never have been separate. And she has been sent by the Scholar Council to find him. When strange celestial events begin appearing inside buildings Emre designed, the life he carefully built starts pointing towards a truth he has spent years avoiding. Maybe there was never anything missing from his chart. Maybe the system simply never had a name for what he is.

AWAKENED
After eight months of unemployment, Temi Adeyemi finally gets the call she has been praying for: a Content Executive role at a Lagos agency, a steady salary, and the chance to start rebuilding her life. But the job she is grateful to have slowly becomes something else. Her ₦85,000 salary becomes ₦75,000. Late-night voice notes become normal. Her responsibilities keep growing. Her ideas win clients, but her name rarely follows them. Every time Temi questions something, she hears the same words: growth, opportunity, family, soon. So she starts keeping records. Every task. Every missing naira. Every weekend. Every piece of work that leaves the office without her name on it. And somewhere between exhaustion, anger and the stories of the women who came before her, Temi begins writing something else too. Something that might finally help her understand what is happening to her. AWAKENED is a deeply emotional Lagos workplace drama about money, ambition, self-worth, survival—and the difficult moment when being grateful is no longer enough.
