Set in an era where the children of affluent Nigerian elites dominated the streets, the dynamics of wealth and influence created a world filled with possibilities, often disregarding the questions of the outside world, as long as money was involved.

The encounter between Andrew, or 'Drew,' a wealthy, charming, and self-assured playboy, and Maya, a bold, straightforward, and confident tomboy.

During their first meeting, Maya was struck by Drew's striking appearance, only to be put off by his haughty remark, "Whatcha looking at, snotty?" 

Conversely, when Drew first noticed Maya, he thought she was the most stunning girl he'd ever seen, until her sharp response, "Whatcha looking at, pervert?" caught him off guard.

Join them on their journey as they navigate the complexities of adulthood, exploring the nuances of unexpected love and the challenges that arise along the way.

Bane Of His Existence

"Shopping 101: you're supposed to buy something, not just try on the entire store," I said sarcastically and Sasha smirked, launching a dress at me like a projectile. I caught it mid-air, narrowly avoiding a face-full of fabric, and shot her an exasperated look. Sasha just chuckled, lounging on the couch like a queen, while I let out a deep sigh – my hundredth of the day, courtesy of her shopping spree antics. 


Sasha's expression softened, her brow furrowed with concern. "Maya, what's going on? You can talk to me, you know that, right?" Her voice was gentle, inviting, but I just sighed again, feeling the weight of my emotions bearing down on me. 


I'd thought a day out shopping would be the perfect distraction, a chance to clear my head and shake off the lingering tension. But now, surrounded by the chaos of the mall, I realized I'd been mistaken. The noise, the crowds, the constant stimulation – it was all just exacerbating my frustration, making everything feel worse. 


MISERY BECOMES ME.
