What is faith? Spending 12 years of a spoilt young master, Kofi is diagnosed of Brain disorder and has up to 3 years to live. Sleeping one day only to enter a dream where he meets a strange old man. After a brief conversation, the man taps Kofi's forehead lightly as he leaves the word FAITH in Kofi's spiritual palace. "Wait, after i am born?, dont tell me......" Join Kofi as he experiences the world and overcomes every obstacles in his mission to stand at the top of the world.
It is windy in Atlanta this faithful eve. A little boy lays on his bed staring at the window wondering when things would get better. Kofi is the son of the mayor and in the eyes of the public, very privileged boy. Only if the media could be present to witness his current circumstance. He was diagnosed of a serious brain disorder and had less than 3 years to live. He was 12 when this happened. Currently 14 years, Kofi has decided to be very kind and generous to anyone at all.
Over the past few years, after knowing what would happen to him after three years, he decided to dedicate his entire life to giving to the less privileged and poor people.
"Hurry Kofi, we going to be late!!" Hilary calls out to Kofi.
Over the past few years after that faithful day, only Hilary, Kofi's mother, had shown him love and support. He felt rejection from his father and siblings although they tried to hide it.
"One sec Mom" Kofi shouted as he gets his boots on
.
*Vroom Vroom*
*Horn Horn*
Kofi finally makes it into the Benz after the horn was heard several times.
Looking at the view in the window,Kofi placed his hand on his chin as he knew he had less than a month before he turn 15, which was coincidentally when the deadline for him to die.
They made it all the way to a shelter where they donated gifts to the children in the orphanage. Kofi played around with them for a long time since, he was a child after all and he didn't have that luxury to spend time with his siblings despite all he had.
While they where driving by, Kofi saw a church by the side of the road and wondered deep down if perhaps he could get his salvation from there. Yet, he did not say a word to Hilary as she was not a believer in spirituality.
Like this, the week went by.
Monday morning, April 24,2024 , Kofi was watching the television when he chanced upon a pastor preaching. Usually, when something like this happens, he would curse under his breadth and change the channel. This time however, he felt like he was meant to listen to this sermon. The pastor spoke about "Faith" and how every christian can do anything as long as they have faith. This sermon got Kofi kind of hyped but didn't know if he should believe it. Perhaps he was feeling desperate, he decided to follow the pastors preaching on faith to get a better understanding.
"Faith is the substance of things hoped for" Kofi muttered beneath his breadth as he listen. At this moment, unknown to Kofi he had started to believe in the word the pastor was preaching.
One week went by like this. " I declare that Jesus is my Lord and personal savior....." Kofi declared boldly as he repeated after the pastor. Hilary of course saw all this but didn't take it to heart. She felt Kofi was just getting desperate knowing he had one week left to go.
"I cannot die", " I am strong" , "I am healed" Kofi's voice reverberated across the room as he declared into his life.
"What are you doing there son?" Hilary asked, pain seen in her eyes as she watched he last born go through this. "I am going to be fine mom" Kofi replied with an unusual smile plastered on his face. "Why do you seem so happy these past few days" Hilary asked, confused. "Mom, I gave my life to Jesus, the best decision I have ever made. And guess what, I would live forever!!. I would not die because I have good health. I am healed in Jesus name" Kofi said with a bright smile and a clear eyes as if he could see through everything.
*Cry *Cry Cry*
Tears flew down Hilary's eyes as she saw her son "comforting" himself. She didn't understand what was going on but she took it as Kofi finding a way to relieve his pain and worry.
"Don't worry mom, I would be fine. God has a plan for all of us, I am blessed because he has blessed me, hence I have everything that pertains to life and Godliness" .
Over the past few weeks listening to the pastor, Kofi had surprisingly grown so mature and no longer feared death. All he wanted was to worship God and hopefully, get his mom to believe before he passed away. For this, he begun to listen to the sermons all day with his mom by his side. Initially, Hilary just wanted to accompany Kofi for his less than a week time he had left, however, as she continued to listen to teachings of the word of God, she unknowingly started to enjoy listening to it.
*BOOM *BOOM *BOOM
Lighting rained down as the day was unusually very windy. Accompanied with heavy rain, the city of Atlanta was experiencing a heavy downpour this afternoon.
In a mansion in the Oliver's Estate, Kofi was in bed sleeping when he started praying to God in another tongue. This went on for a while, unknowingly, a smile started to curve on his lips. He entered a strange dream.
He saw an old man looking at him with a smile. Smiling back, Kofi approached the man and asked, "How are you doing sir?" . "Fine young sir, yourself?" the old man replied.
"Been better by Gods grace" Kofi said.
"Good Good Good kid" a mischievous smile crept on the old mans face."What do you know about Faith kid?"
"Erm, Faith is when you believe you have something without seeing it, I guess".
"Ohh!, is that all?" the old man smirked strangely.
"I guess we can also say faith is when we call for something to come and know we have it despite not seeing it" Kofi with a straight face replied.
"Well Kid, Faith goes a very long way than you think, to make thing easier for you, I would give you a gift that would stay with you forever, remember to meditate on it day and night after you are born" The old man tapped his finger on Kofi's Forehead and walked way slowly as he said this.
It may seem slow but in less than two seconds Kofi could not see him again despite the fact that he did not vanish.
*THUD *THUD
Kofi nearly had a breakdown after he digested what the man had told him.
"After I am born?, don't tell me...."
"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
The whispers said that out of bitter jealousy, Hadley shoved Eric's beloved down the stairs, robbing the unborn child of life. To avenge, Eric forced Hadley abroad and completely cut her off. Years later, she reemerged, and they felt like strangers. When they met again, she was the nightclub's star, with men ready to pay fortunes just to glimpse her elusive performance. Unable to contain himself, Eric blocked her path, asking, "Is this truly how you earn a living now? Why not come back to me?" Hadley's lips curved faintly. "If you’re eager to see me, you’d better join the queue, darling."
Rosalynn's marriage to Brian wasn't what she envisioned it to be. Her husband, Brian, barely came home. He avoided her like a plague.

Everything changed days later. Brian took interest in a designer that worked for his company anonymously. From her profile, he could tell that she was brilliant and dazzling.

Brian bit his finger with regret when he recalled his past actions and the woman he foolishly let go.
"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.

Three years later, life had taken Corynn down a new path with someone else, while Elliot was left grappling with regret. Seizing a moment of vulnerability, he pleaded, "Corynn, let's get married." Shaking her head with a faint smile, Corynn gently replied, "Sorry, I'm already engaged."
"Ahh!" She was in a moaning mess. She did not want to feel anything for this man. She hated him. His hands began to move all over her body. She gasped when he pulled down the back chain of her dress. The chain stopped at her lower waist, so when he zipped it off, her upper back and waist were exposed. "D-Don't touch m-ummm!" His fingers rolled around her bare back, and she pressed her head against the pillow. His touches were giving her goosebumps all over her body. With a deep angry voice, he whispered in her ear, "I am going to make you forget his touches, kisses, and everything. Every time you touch another man, you will only think of me." - - - Ava Adler was a nerdy omega. People bullied her because they thought she was ugly and unattractive.
