"That Nigerian bitch," I spit out as his teeth graze my neck. "He thinks he can just bring some nobody here?" Each thrust is a bitter reminder of Callum, his eyes, his smile – things that should be mine. "She'll pay," I pant, my nails digging into his back. "He'll see. They all will." The sweat on his skin disgusts me, but it's a release, a pathetic stand-in for the rage burning inside. "He's mine! Mine!" I scream as I come, the emptiness afterward even more sickening. That little nobody in Lagos will learn what it means to take what's mine. They will all fucking learn. At the point that Callum Gallagher—billionaire, heir to Ireland’s largest shipping empire, and a man with demons of his own, entered the picture, she'd already accepted her fate to be another's sex toy. Callum needs a respectable wife to secure a high-stakes merger, and Chidinma is the perfect candidate: beautiful, intelligent, and utterly powerless to refuse his offer. A marriage of convenience. One year. Enough money to change her life. Chidinma Okafor has fought for everything in her life shortly after she'd lost her father. Growing up in the slums of Lagos, she clawed her way to a degree, working multiple jobs to support her sick mother. But when her mother’s medical bills threaten to drown her, Chidinma is desperate for a lifeline.

She and Callum have a business deal, but then, they start to really like each other…

THE CROWN OF WATERS

Noel Vallis, a young boy born into the noble Vallis family, has always lived in the shadow of expectations. As the heir to a powerful estate, his life seems destined to follow a strict path, but Noel has always felt out of place. Raised in a world of discipline and secrets, he yearns for something more—something that doesn’t conform to the rigid rules of his family. When Noel discovers his mysterious connection to the ancient koi pond on his family’s estate, he unwittingly awakens a dormant power tied to his bloodline. Magic surges within him, but it’s a power that cannot be controlled. A dark crystal refuses to react, and Noel is left questioning his place in the Vallis legacy. His only confidant, Ethen—his childhood friend and the son of his nanny—reveals that Noel is not just any heir, but the true heir to an ancient, magical legacy tied to the very land itself. The Vallis family’s secrets have been hidden for centuries, lost during the Empire Unification War. No heir has appeared in over 300 years, and Duke Vallis, Noel’s father, remains unaware of the true history that binds their family to an ancient seal—the Throne of Waters. This seal lies within the koi pond, a place that has always comforted Noel, but now holds a deeper meaning. It is a key to immense, untapped power, and only Noel, as the true heir, can unlock it. With the help of Ethen, Noel begins a journey of self-discovery and magical awakening. But the power within him comes with a price. As he grows stronger, he must confront his fears, his painful past, and the dark secrets of the Vallis family. The road ahead is fraught with danger, and Noel must learn to master the magic that flows through his veins, all while protecting his family’s legacy from those who seek to control it for their own gain.
