At just thirteen, fate dealt her a cruel hand - a child she was too young to claim, forced to raise in silence while the world believed it was her sibling. Every step of her journey as a rising local journalist is shadowed by that secret, the cost of survival, and the whispers of a past that refuses to stay buried. But fate has a twisted sense of timing. Just as her career begins to take flight, Bummi collides with the last man she ever expected to see - Damian Ayomide. A ruthless multi-billionaire, a global business magnate, and the man unknowingly tied to the child she's kept hidden all these years. The past she thought was buried threatens to unravel her present. The online stranger she had been drawn to turns out to be the same man fate once bound her to. Now, with her carefully guarded secret at risk, Bummi faces an impossible choice: reveal the truth and risk everything, or continue the lie and lose the man she never stopped craving. A story of secrets, power, and destiny, Tapestry of Lives is a breathtaking journey where love collides with betrayal, and the truth could set her free - or destroy them both.

    "Yes I am. Nice to see you too fatso." He had that signature smug smile of his. The only difference was that, now his voice had taken a deeper baritone, his hair has been nicely trimmed to his side burs and he's clean shaven. His bright eyes still held the same charm. Though he has always been handsome, but I'll say he's surpassed being handsome, looking at him now. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Williams Shade met and became friends with Folake Adams, under favourable conditions. But, when the conditions and situation of things turned sour, Folake believed she had truly seen Williams for who he actually was. He had played nothing but a sick game on her. Therefore, when the day came she was fated to have her revenge, she vowed never to be caught in his trap again. Only, this time, he hadn't come as a wolf in sheep's clothing. He had come as a knight in shining armour. Read ODWH to find out what happened. STARTED: 17/02/20 COMPLETED: 11/05/20 Β©Amyirechi

    "You are not going back to that man. Over my dead body!" He yelled at me with so much anger that I was at the verge of tears. With tears already in my eyes, I feebly replied "But he's dying and_" "So let him die and before he does let him suffer!" I gasped at his response. He spoke about my father with great hate and all I could do was sit there and cry. "Listen to me Fadesewa" his voice was softer this time around. "I don't want you to go back there. He may be at the verge of death for all I care, but he failed as a father. For Christ's sake Sewa, he kicked you out of his house for not obeying his rules_" "Whatever you say, always keep in mind that that man is my father. The one who was there when my mum wasn't. So let me bare the cross and go see him." I cut him off with a cold voice that sent chills down his spine. He gazed into my eyes almost as if he was trying to figure out if I was possessed. "You'll regret this" he simply said and walked away. "Then so be it" I whispered quietly to myself in his absence, wiping away my tears. Fadesewa Hope Gbenga is your not so typical eighteen year old high school student having to deal a controlling father and his enormous rules; No male friends. No tight or revealing clothes.

    Sewa has never been allowed to throw tantrums. Not in her house and definitely not in a country where "mental health" sounds like the nonsense people with no real problems would say. So she holds everything in: the panic, the perfectionism, the generational curses disguised as "good upbringing." Until one day, she cracks. Now Sewa is seeing things no one else can explain; shadows that whisper, memories that twist, and a Pastor who insists she's spiritually gifted instead of on the brink of insanity. Her brother Fehin is the only one who believes her, but he's drowning in his own battles. Together, the siblings tiptoe around family secrets, perform holiness for people who need therapy more than they need oil on their heads, and try to stay functional in a society that only believes in two emotions: "I'm fine" and "I'm fine but louder." Mental Is Not a Nigerian Word follows two siblings trying to stay human in a world where admitting you're not okay is somehow the biggest sin of all.
