Ada married because of collisions could it be God's will

Chapter 1: Fateful Encounter The warm sunshine cast a golden glow over the bustling streets of Lagos. The smell of freshly baked bread wafted through the air, enticing passersby to stop and sample the local delicacies. Amidst the vibrant atmosphere, two strangers were about to cross paths in a chance encounter that would change their lives forever. Ada, a stunning 25-year-old with piercing brown eyes and raven-black hair, hurried down the sidewalk. Her heels clicked against the pavement as she rushed to meet a potential client for her graphic design business. Lost in thought, she didn't notice the handsome stranger standing in front of her until they collided. "Oh, I'm so sorry!" Ada exclaimed, as her papers and designs went flying in all directions. The stranger, a chiseled 28-year-old with bright blue eyes and a charming smile, quickly bent down to help her gather the scattered papers. "It's my fault," he said, his deep voice sending a shiver down Ada's spine. "I should have watched where I was going." As they both stood up, Ada couldn't help but notice the way the stranger's eyes crinkled at the corners when he smiled. She felt an inexplicable spark of attraction, which she quickly brushed off as mere curiosity. "I'm Ada," she said, extending her hand. "Kai," the stranger replied, his handshake firm and warm. As they parted ways, Ada couldn't shake off the feeling that their chance encounter was only the beginning of something. Chapter 2: Hidden Emotions Days turned into weeks, and Ada found herself thinking about Kai more often than she cared to admit. She tried to focus on her graphic design business, but her mind kept wandering back to their chance encounter. One evening, as she was working on a project, her phone buzzed with an unexpected text from Kai. "Hey Ada, hope you're doing well. Would love to grab coffee and catch up sometime?" Ada's heart skipped a beat as she hesitated over her response. She hadn't expected to hear from him again, but a part of her was excited at the prospect of seeing him again. "Hey Kai, I'd love to grab coffee sometime," she replied, trying to sound casual. As they made plans to meet, Ada couldn't help but wonder what had prompted Kai to reach out. Was it just a friendly gesture, or was there something more behind his invitation? Chapter 3: Love in Bloom Their coffee date turned into a leisurely stroll through the park, with Kai sharing stories about his job as a writer and Ada opening up about her passion for graphic design. As the sun began to set, casting a warm glow over the landscape, Ada felt a sense of ease and comfort in Kai's presence. It was as if they had known each other for years, not just minutes. Kai walked her home, his hand brushing against hers as they strolled side by side. Ada's heart fluttered at the touch, and she knew she was in trouble. As they stood outside her apartment, Kai turned to her with a smile. "I had a great time today, Ada. Would you like to do it again sometime soon?" Ada's nod was enthusiastic, and Kai's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled. "I'll call you tomorrow," he said, his voice low and husky. As Ada watched him walk away, she felt a sense of excitement and trepidation. She knew she was falling for Kai, hard and fast. But was she ready to open her heart to love again? Chapter 4: Shadows of the Past As Kai and Ada's relationship deepened, the shadows of their past began to surface. Ada's fear of commitment stemmed from a painful breakup in her past, while Kai's reluctance to open up was rooted in a family tragedy. One evening, as they sat on the beach watching the stars, Kai shared his story with Ada. His voice cracked with emotion as he spoke about the loss of his parents in a tragic accident. Ada listened, her heart aching with compassion. She realized that Kai's tough exterior hid a deep well of pain and vulnerability. As they hugged, the tension between them was palpable. Ada knew she had to confront her own demons if she wanted to move forward with Kai. Chapter 5: Forever and Always Ada took a deep breath and shared her own story with Kai. She spoke about the breakup that had left her heart shattered, and the fear of commitment that had held her back. Kai listened, his eyes filled with empathy and understanding. When she finished, he took her hand and looked into her eyes. "I'm not going anywhere, Ada," he said, his voice filled with conviction. "I want to be with you, to support you and love you for who you are." Ada's heart swelled with emotion as she realized that Kai was the one she wanted to spend forever with. Chapter 6: Happily Ever After A year later, Kai took Ada to the same beach where they had shared their stories. He got down on one knee, pulled out a small box, and asked the question that would change their lives forever. "Ada, will you marry me?" Tears of joy streaming down her face, Ada nodded enthusiastically. "Yes, yes, a million times

When Zora was sick during the early days of her pregnancy, Ezrah was with his first love, Piper. When Zora got into an accident and called Ezrah, he said he was busy, when in actual fact, he was buying shoes for Piper. Zora lost her baby because of the accident, and throughout her stay at the hospital, Ezrah never showed up. She already knew that he didn't love her, but that was the last straw for the camel's back, and her fragile heart could not take it anymore. When Ezrah arrived home a few days after Zora was discharged from the hospital, he no longer met the woman who always greeted him with a smile and cared for him. Zora stood at the top of the stairs and yelled with a cold expression, "Good news, Ezrah! Our baby died in a car accident. There is nothing between us anymore, so let's get a divorce." The man who claimed not to have any feelings for Zora, being cold and distant towards her, and having asked her for a divorce twice, instantly panicked.

"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.
