A growing romantic-suspense drama that x-rays human survival struggles, self-pardon, and emotional rebirth using the lenses of a young female adult who escapes her toxic and monstrous husband only to find a succor and love again in the arms of a man she once ditched.
After several years in an abusive and toxic marriage, Amaka Nkwo escapes from her physically abusive and politically connected husband to take refuge in a serene and remote riverside situated in a West African community not knowing that the apartment she hides in is owned by her former lover, Bayo Segun, an ex-Airforce officer who she ditched many years back. Haunted by regrets and hunted by her husband's touts, Amaka has no other option than to depend on the one man she once betrayed. As the trackers closes in, old wounds start to open, as archived secrets begins to surface, and both lovers discover that real peace often come in a sealed form of pain and dissatisfying situations.
The story is a mix of raw emotional tension with cinematic suspense with each chapter moving like a heartbeat very intense, emotional and brief. The idea is to pull readers through domestic violence, rescue, and self-pardon in a way that make us feels like humans and not super beings.
