Book Blurb
Theirs was a marriage made in heaven, a marriage meant to last
forever or so they thought.
A
once-perfect marriage was thrown into a fragile state as a result of tiny
whispers, and an unfortunate encounter causes the marriage to collapse. The
once happy couple separate and a heartbroken Leilani returns home to
London. And then out of the blue, Folarin’s family needs Leilani’s help
and she must return to her ex-husband’s side. A series of unfortunate events
have brought them together again and Folarin and Leilani must come to terms
with the realisation, that somebody, somewhere was wrong. As they spend
more time together, falling in love seems inevitable; even though one of them
is promised to another, they must find a way to learn to trust and forgive each
other in other to move on.
Will Folarin be able to
trust Leilani?
Will Leilani be
able to forget the pain of their first marriage?
Will they both
believe in second chances?
Excerpt
Hello?”
Leilani answered her phone after it had rung a couple of times.
“Hello,
Leilani.”
Leilani froze. She would know that voice anywhere; it was the voice
of someone she would never forget. Folarin Balogun, her unforgiving ex-husband.
It had been two years since she had last heard from him, two years since that
fateful night when their marriage had ended abruptly. She almost dropped the
phone in shock.
“How did
you get my number?” she asked, slumping into her chair in the back office of
her café.
Silence.
Then Folarin Balogun responded quietly, “I got your number from Tega.”
Closing
her eyes, she took a deep breath and waited for a couple of seconds. “What do
you want, Folarin?” she asked in a very unfriendly tone. “You must have a
reason for calling me.” Leilani knew that she sounded rude, but she didn’t
care. She was in no mood to be polite to Folarin Balogun.
He had
hurt her so much. Back then, she thought she would die from the pain he had
caused her. It had taken her a long time to heal, and now she was ready to move
on. Hearing his voice again brought back painful memories, memories she would
rather leave in the past, where they belonged.
