Overview

Genevieve is a rising young lawyer in Victoria Island, Lagos-brilliant, beautiful, and standing on the edge of everything she has ever worked for. Her life finally feels complete: a promising career, a loving partner, and a future filled with hope. Then a bruised woman walks into her world. Zubby once endured a bleak chapter of his life-one shaped by childhood violence and loss. But he clawed his way out. In just a few months, everything changed: a dream job, the woman he loves, and a sense of stability he never thought he'd find. Until Omotola arrives. She is Zubby's most important client. Elegant. Soft-spoken. And covered in unexplained injuries. Bruises soon become black eyes. Black eyes become hospital visits. As the signs escalate, Zubby begins to recognize a pattern he knows too well-one he witnessed as a child, when his own mother suffered in silence. Haunted by his past and driven by an uncontrollable instinct to protect, Zubby becomes determined to save Omotola before it's too late. But Omotola is not a victim. She is a black widow. Alongside her lover, she has already buried husbands-each death carefully engineered to look natural, leaving no trace behind. After studying Zubby's history, she realizes he is the perfect target: a man wired to intervene, emotionally vulnerable to suffering women, and willing to cross lines in the name of justice. Her plan is calculated and ruthless. Draw Zubby closer. Make him care. Convince him her wealthy husband is a violent monster. Turn compassion into a weapon. As Zubby is slowly pulled into Omotola's web, Genevieve begins to sense something is wrong. The man she loves is changing. Secrets begin to surface. Trust fractures. And the life she fought to build starts to unravel. By the time the truth emerges, Zubby may already be standing at the center of a crime he never intended to commit-set up as the perfect fall guy.

Author Information

Olajide A. Smith writes from lived experience. Raised between Nigeria and the United States, his stories are forged at the intersection of ambition and survival-where trauma leaves scars, power corrupts quietly, and deception wears familiar faces. A law graduate of the University of Jos, Olajide brings psychological precision to his thrillers, crafting worlds where trust is dangerous and consequences are permanent. Outside writing, he is a dedicated fitness enthusiast and aspiring gym owner who rebuilt himself through discipline after profound personal challenges. That transformation shapes the emotional grit of his work-stories driven by resilience, obsession, and the relentless pursuit of control. His fiction doesn't offer comfort. It tells the truth.
