Echoes of survival, An African Island Chronicles
Adventure ## Echoes of Survival: The African Island Chronicles – Part 2
The humid Nigerian air hung heavy with the scent of sunbaked mud and anticipation. Months had passed since the Adebayo family, driven by whispers of an uncharted island, ventured beyond the familiar embrace of the Niger River. Their fate remained shrouded in mystery, a gnawing question mark etched upon the hearts of their village. Rumors swirled like dust devils on the wind – some whispered of unimaginable riches, others of monstrous dangers.
In the quiet of the village elder's hut, Mama Ayaba, her weathered face etched with concern, gazed at the flickering flames of the oil lamp. Beside her, the grizzled Chieftain Emeka held onto a worn map, its edges frayed from countless anxious fingers tracing its cryptic symbols. They had entrusted Gabriel, Ekaete, Imani, and Ayo to the whispers, a gamble fueled by dwindling fish stocks and the allure of the unknown. Now, silence stretched thin, a taut string threatening to snap under the weight of their worry.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the darkness, his silhouette stark against the moonlight. It was Obinna, the village hunter, renowned for his keen eyes and unerring instincts. He knelt before the elder and chieftain, his voice raspy with urgency.
"I bring news," he declared, his words heavy with portent. "News from the river. A message carried on the current, faint but unmistakable."
Mama Ayaba leaned forward, her eyes reflecting the flickering flames. "What news, Obinna?" she inquired, her voice barely a whisper.
Obinna paused, his gaze flickering between the elder and the chieftain. "A single object," he revealed, drawing a small pouch from his cloak. "Found lodged in a fisherman's net. It bears the markings of the island whispers..."
Silence descended upon the hut, thick and heavy with unspoken hopes and fears. As Obinna carefully untied the pouch, the flames danced, casting grotesque shadows on the mud walls. In the flickering light, a symbol emerged – an intricate carving of an eagle soaring towards a crescent moon. A symbol recognized only by the elders, a symbol whispered in ancient stories of a hidden island and its forgotten people.
With trembling hands, Mama Ayaba reached out and touched the carving, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Echoes of survival," she breathed, her voice a tremor in the stillness. "They live..."
The news rippled through the village like a stone cast into a still pond. Hope flickered anew, mingled with trepidation. The fate of the Adebayo family hung in the balance, their story now woven into the fabric of a far greater quest – the search for the island of whispers, a journey fraught with peril and the promise of rediscovering a lost legacy.

Bound By A Dare, Rejected By The Alpha
Baby Kemo "You're going to take it, aren't you, little lamb?" Dominic's voice is low, teasing, dark. A hand grips my throat, just enough to make me gasp, make my pulse hammer beneath his fingertips.
Ashton is behind me, lips tracing the curve of my shoulder, his hands spreading me open. "Be good for us," he murmurs, his breath hot against my skin.
I whimper as Dominic's fingers slide between my thighs, teasing, parting, finding me already soaked. "Fuck," he groans, rubbing slow, torturous circles over my clit. "She's dripping. You feel that, Ash?"
Ashton's chuckle is warm against my ear. "She likes being between us."
A sharp smack lands on my ass, and I yelp, but the sting only makes the fire burn hotter.
"Tell us, pretty girl. Tell us how much you want it."
"Please," I gasp, my hips rolling, chasing their touch.
"Please, what?" Dominic demands, his fingers dipping lower, teasing my entrance but not giving me what I need.
Ashton's hands are spreading me wider now, his breath teasing the sensitive skin between my cheeks. I barely have a second to process it before his tongue flicks out, circling the tight ring of muscle.
I jolt, a strangled moan tearing from my throat. "Oh, fuck-"
"Relax," Ashton soothes, but there's nothing gentle about the way he holds me down, his grip firm as he licks deeper.
Dominic's fingers press inside me, curling just right, setting off sparks behind my eyes. "She's so fucking tight," he growls, watching my face as I shatter between them.
My body trembles, caught between pleasure so intense it borders on pain.
"Cum for us, little lamb," Dominic commands.

Mr. Ben Having some of the poems in the first edition of the poem collection, ‘The P.O.T (Poured Out Thoughts)’ published in several poetry magazines as High On Poems, Earthborne Magazine, Deadsnakes and so on, the author has ushered in the second, titled ‘The P.O.T (Poured Out Thoughts) ---The Reloaded.
It is said to be ‘reloaded’ because there are other poems to be added to make this edition slightly richer than the first. With poems as ‘Out of the Box’, ‘Dad Loves Me’, ‘Heralding God’s Magnificence’ being published in notable poetry journals and magazines, the sequel is hoped to make an impact to the entire world, beginning with the readers.
The Table of Contents has the additional poems that readers, who have read the first edition, would realize. They are intended to look into general issues, family, gender, parental, religious (Christian faith), children, love and personal/motivational.
The aim behind this piece is simple. As said in the first edition, it is about entertaining, enlightening, inspiring or motivating and enabling people think for themselves.
Worthy of Note: The author believes that subsequent edition(s) of the work would carry the above-stated aim.
His Innocent Obsession
Estelle Hayes Isla Hart has spent her entire life protected from the truth. Sheltered in the cold, opulent mansion her father built with wealth stained by secrets, she has never known the world outside the safety of her gilded cage. She's been raised in the comfort of ignorance-her innocence preserved like a precious gem, untouched by the horrors lurking just beneath the surface. But nothing lasts forever.
Her father, a man with debts deeper than anyone knows, has been in the claws of a dangerous criminal syndicate for years. And now, with everything collapsing around him, he makes an unthinkable decision to save himself: he will auction off his daughter's virginity to the highest bidder. The price of her body is nothing compared to the price of her father's survival.
At twenty-one, Isla is thrust into a world she never knew existed-one where power and corruption reign, and she is nothing more than a transaction, a pawn in a game she doesn't understand. An underground auction, hidden in the dark corners of New York's criminal elite, will determine her fate. But as the bidding begins, there's one man who stands out from the rest.
Vincenzo "Vince" Moretti is not like the others.
A mafia don who commands respect through bloodshed and fear, Vince is a man who has made his fortune off ruthlessness. At thirty-seven, he has built an empire that stretches across continents, feared by everyone who dares cross him. Cruel, cold, and indifferent, Vince has never allowed weakness to cloud his judgment. But when his eyes land on Isla, everything shifts. She is an innocent, untouched by the darkness of the world he controls. She's everything he shouldn't want, but something about her purity calls to him.
Vince outbids every man in the room, securing Isla as his own. She is no longer just a piece of property for sale-she is now his possession. A contract signed in blood, a life bound by the chains of obligation, desire, and power.
To Isla, the world as she knew it shatters. Her father's debts are wiped clean in exchange for her innocence, but in the cold, unyielding world of Vince's mafia empire, she is now nothing more than a beautiful hostage-trapped in a life of submission. But with Vince, things are different. He is cruel to everyone else, manipulative and tyrannical in his dealings. Yet, when it comes to Isla, there's a strange gentleness. A possessive tenderness. He keeps her close, under his watchful eye, as if she's a rare, delicate thing that no one else can touch.
But his protection comes at a price.
Vince will not let her go. He will mold her, shape her, and possess her in ways she never thought possible. With every passing day, the line between desire and control blurs. Vince isn't just taking her body-he wants her heart, her mind, her soul. And as the days turn to weeks, Isla finds herself torn between survival and submission. She is drawn to him in a way she cannot escape, yet terrified of what she's becoming.
But a storm is coming.
Luca Santoro-Vince's former ally, now his deadliest rival-has been waiting for a weakness. A crack in Vince's otherwise unbreakable armor. And he has found it in Isla.
Luca knows that Vince's obsession with Isla is his greatest vulnerability. He will stop at nothing to break her spirit and use her to bring Vince to his knees. His plan is simple: destroy Vince's empire by destroying Isla. Luca doesn't just want to own Isla-he wants to destroy what she means to Vince, and he will stop at nothing to make her his.
The clock is ticking.
As the tension between Vince and Luca escalates, Isla's world becomes even more dangerous. The mafia's brutal games are no longer just about loyalty and power-they're about survival. But the deeper Isla falls into Vince's world, the more she realizes that the man who controls everything around her is also controlling her heart. She cannot leave him, yet she knows that staying might cost her everything.
Is she willing to lose herself in a man who sees her as both a possession and a passion?
In a world where love and pain collide, Isla must decide if she can find freedom in submission or if her innocence will be the very thing that destroys her
