Akaninyene, a Nigerian prince meets and falls in love with Noel, the daughter of the Duke of Everhigh will their love blossom or will it be crushed by societal indifference?

Chapter 1 SYNOPSIS

After the successful British invasion of Benin and the capturing of the emperor Ovorunwem in 1897, the resolve of the other Kings of the Niger river to rid their lands of the British was destroyed as none of them would believe great Benin would fall.

Although it seemed like all hope was lost, some of the royal families weren't going to give up. To them they would rather lose their heads than bow to foreign powers they termed "the white men". In the east of the land of the Niger river, the royal families of unified Arochukwu and the towns of Ekemeku were still engaged in active warfare against the British, in the north of the Niger river, the sultans of Sokoto and Kano repelled British forces from their lands on several occasions.

While most of the Kings and Chiefs were engaging in open warfare against the British, some of them refused to sacrifice the lives of the people for their cause though this didn't mean they gave up fighting. The Nkuku (king of kings) of Annang arranged a meeting to send some of their men to England to learn the ways of the British. To make sure the other rulers would join heads together to achieve this common goal, he decided to send his first son, Akaninyene to Europe as this would prove to the other kings he had a lot to lose.

The Truth About His Mistress

I was four months pregnant, a photographer excited for our future, attending a sophisticated baby brunch. Then I saw him, my husband Michael, with another woman, and a newborn introduced as "his son." My world shattered as a torrent of betrayal washed over me, magnified by Michael's dismissive claim I was "just being emotional." His mistress, Serena, taunted me, revealing Michael had discussed my pregnancy complications with her, then slapped me, causing a terrifying cramp. Michael sided with her, publicly shaming me, demanding I leave "their" party, as a society blog already paraded them as a "picture-perfect family." He fully expected me to return, to accept his double life, telling his friends I was "dramatic" but would "always come back." The audacity, the calculated cruelty of his deception, and Serena's chilling malice, fueled a cold, hard rage I barely recognized. How could I have been so blind, so trusting of the man who gaslighted me for months while building a second family? But on the plush carpet of that lawyer's office, as he turned his back on me, a new, unbreakable resolve solidified. They thought I was broken, disposable, easily manipulated – a "reasonable" wife who would accept a sham separation. They had no idea my calm acceptance was not surrender; it was strategy, a quiet promise to dismantle everything he held dear. I would not be handled; I would not understand; I would end this, and make sure their perfect family charade crumbled into dust.
