Trauma Made Her Think Beating is Love.
For 23 years, I thought if a man does not beat you, he does not love you. A true Lagos face-me-I-face-you story. He was a tailor. He beat me with stool and dustbin and stained my white gown with blood. Same night, his sister settled us. The next morning, he sewed a new gown for me. I stayed because of home trauma and fear of starting over. This book is for every girl who learned love wrong. Beating is not love. Real love is peace.

Non-Fiction

She endured years of beating and pain to build a home and raise her four boys. The night God finally answered her prayers, she died in a taxi after giving birth. She never enjoyed the fruit of her labour. A heartbreaking lesson about love, sacrifice, and why we must say NO to abuse. Written by: taiwostories

Oh great! Yet another generic isekai
This is an isekai. Yes. That kind. The kind where a painfully average guy dies in an avoidable accident, wakes up in a fantasy world, and is immediately declared “important” by someone glowing. If you are allergic to overused tropes, recycled plots, or protagonists who survive purely because the chapter number is too low, close this page now. Seriously. Nothing will be taken seriously.
