Ema thought she knew what she wanted. A calm life, a simple love, and a boyfriend who cared for her. But everything changed the day Shedrack walked back into her life. He wasn't rich. He wasn't perfect. But his presence shook her heart in ways she couldn't explain. Suddenly, Ema found herself caught between two different kinds of love: The safe love she already had... And the intense love she never expected. As secrets grow, jealousy rises, and emotions collide, Ema must choose between the boy who has always been there for her and the one who makes her feel alive again. But every choice comes with a price. And someone's heart will break before the truth comes out. A powerful story of love, betrayal, and the painful

Chapter 1 WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE

Ema balanced the tray of freshly arranged wigs on her arm as she stepped out of the small shop. The sun was already high, stretching across the busy streets of Enugu like a spotlight that refused to move. She blinked against the brightness and adjusted the strap of her handbag. "Today has to be a good day, " she to herself. "It just had to."

Her phone buzzed again.

Chuka.

For the fourth time this morning.

She sighed before picking up the call.

"No vex, baby," she said softly. "Network has been bad."

"So you don't pick up my calls because of the network?" Chuka repeated, his voice already carrying that familiar sharpness. "Ema, I'm not one of those boys you ignore. You hear me?"

Ema swallowed. "I didn't ignore you. I'm heading to the delivery point now. I told you yesterday, na."

Chuka clicked his tongue. "How much do you get now? Have you sold the frontal I bought for you?"

Ema pressed her lips together. "I'm trying, babe. Business dey slow, small..."

"I invested in your life, Ema," he reminded her, as if she needed reminding. "You know how much I put into that your wig hustle? So try dey serious."

"I'm serious," she whispered.

"Good. Because I don't have the strength to drag with you today. I'll come see you later. And dress well, you hear me? You're my babe. You represent me."

The line went dead.

Ema stared at her screen for a moment, chest tight.

She loved Chuka... or maybe she thought she did. Before the possessiveness. Before the reminders of what he had done for her. Before the subtle threats hidden inside sweet words.

She took a deep breath and kept walking.

Her life wasn't terrible. It was just... stuck.

Every plan she had now was tied to what someone else had done for her. Every decision she made, she had to think of Chuka first.

She wanted more. She wanted freedom. She wanted a future she controlled.

But wanting and receiving were two different things.

Ema reached the main junction and waited for a keke. As she stood there, sweaty and impatient, a black SUV sped past her, splashing a wave of muddy water onto her white dress.

She gasped.

"Jesus!"

The car slowed. The tinted window rolled down halfway.

A deep, calm voice spoke.

"I'm so sorry. Are you alright?"

Ema wiped the wetness from her arm and looked up.

She couldn't see his full face yet only the silhouette of a man in designer shades, his hair perfectly trimmed, his wristwatch gleaming like it cost more than her entire shop.

Something about him... presence, aura, authority... made her heart skip.

The man's voice carried a gentle command.

"Let me drop you off. You can't go around like that."

Ema blinked, confused for a second.

She didn't know this stranger.

She didn't know his world.

She didn't even know his name.

But one thing was clear:

Her life had just brushed against something far bigger than she was prepared for.

She shook her head quickly.

"No, thank you, sir. I'll manage."

He paused, studying her through the dark glass.

"Alright," he said finally. "But take care of yourself."

The window went up. The car pulled away slowly.

Ema stood frozen as the SUV disappeared into the traffic.

She didn't know she had just spoken to Shedrack Nwokocha, one of the youngest and richest CEOs in the country.

She didn't know her small, simple life had just collided with the beginning of something bigger.

She didn't know fate had just taken note of her name.

All she knew was... her heart was beating too fast.

And her white dress was ruined.

The Scars Behind My Golden Dress

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.

Rain hammered against the asphalt as my sedan spun violently into the guardrail on the I-95. Blood trickled down my temple, stinging my eyes, while the rhythmic slap of the windshield wipers mocked my panic. Trembling, I dialed my husband, Clive. His executive assistant answered instead, his voice professional and utterly cold. "Mr. Wilson says to stop the theatrics. He said, and I quote, 'Hang up. Tell her I don’t have time for her emotional blackmail tonight.'" The line went dead while I was still trapped in the wreckage. At the hospital, I watched the news footage of Clive wrapping his jacket around his "fragile" ex-girlfriend, Angelena, shielding her from the storm I was currently bleeding in. When I returned to our penthouse, I found a prenatal ultrasound in his suit pocket, dated the day he claimed to be on a business trip. Instead of an apology, Clive met me with a sneer. He told me I was nothing but an "expensive decoration" his father bought to make him look stable. He froze my bank accounts and cut off my cards, waiting for the hunger to drive me back to his feet. I stared at the man I had loved for four years, realizing he didn't just want a wife; he wanted a prop he could switch off. He thought he could starve me into submission while he played father to another woman's child. But Clive forgot one thing. Before I was his trophy wife, I was Starfall—the legendary voice actress who vanished at the height of her fame. "I'm not jealous, Clive. I'm done." I grabbed my old microphone and walked out. I’m not just leaving him; I’m taking the lead role in the biggest saga in Hollywood—the one Angelena is desperate for. This time, the "decoration" is going to burn his world down.

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What's worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn't thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn't seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he's different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
