Love Glitches: A Story of True Value
Ben should have been safe. After recovering from a terrifying brain malfunction, he was finally whole. Instead, he vanished, leaving the hospital room empty and forcing two rivals into a desperate, ruthless hunt that stretches across two continents. There is Bella, sharp, ambitious, and connected to the dark corporate secrets Ben needs to unlock his father's murder. She offers power, revenge, and a dangerous alliance. And there is Lilian, who offered six months of quiet, selfless devotion during Ben’s sickness. She has nothing to offer but her unassuming heart. Ben is playing a dangerous game. His sudden disappearance is a final, crucial test to determine who values him for himself, and who is just chasing the drama. In the race from Washington D.C. to Lagos, Nigeria, only the woman who trusts her genuine value will win the ultimate prize: his love.
The price of a soft life
The phone in my hand, still warm from my daughter's grip, flashed with a demanding new text. "I am ready. Send me the address now. Don’t keep me waiting, baby." I quickly typed a reply in my husband's voice: “Baby girl, go wait for me at this place. I changed the location because my wife might have seen the first message. I’ll be with you shortly. And yes, the room is already booked — just give them my name and you’ll get the key.†The address I sent was the Grand Lux Hotel, the most expensive palace in the city. I deleted the message immediately and turned my attention to Daniel, who was already restless, looking for an escape. I smiled sweetly, linking my arm through his. “Baby, it’s so rare that you’re home today. Why don’t we drop all the distractions and just focus on the family for once?†He hesitated, his eyes darting to his phone's charging spot. “But… I have business to handle.†“So you’re saying business is more important than your family?†I countered, my voice laced with gentle disappointment. He surrendered quickly. "No phones—just family bonding. I promise." The trap was set. My husband was contained, and the girl was heading for a feast she thought was free—a feast that would later come with an unforgettable ₦2.5 million bill. They were about to learn that the most dangerous woman in their lives wasn't the one who screamed, but the one who watched, waited, and set the price of their mistakes.

The Baobab;s shade
In the late afternoon, as the heat momentarily softened, the animals gathered to drink. Zuri, the magnificent lioness, led her pride, her golden eyes radiating effortless authority. Her presence made the other animals uneasy, especially Kasi, the common warthog, who always kept a respectful distance. Kasi was driven by a simple, quiet need: to contribute. She believed every creature, no matter how humble, had a duty to ease the burdens of the community.

The Whispering Peaks and the Boasting Eagle
Kito, a magnificent eagle, possessed a booming voice and an even louder sense of self-importance. “None can fly higher! None can see further! You know nothing of the true freedom of the sky!†he’d boast. One day, a terrible storm, unlike any seen in generations, descended upon the Peaks, and Kito was utterly lost. His boasting had done nothing to save him; it was the quiet virtues and combined knowledge of the ground-dwellers that had. Moral of the Story: Humility is a virtue that acknowledges the value in others and recognizes our own limitations.
