"WHEN LOVE BURN SLOWLY"💔🔥(A tale of sweet beginnings and a tragic end...)
<p><br/></p><p>*CHAPTER ONE: </p><h1>“<strong><sup>The Stranger with a Broken Watch”</sup></strong>*</h1><p><br/></p><p>The Lagos sun was merciless that afternoon — the kind that made the tar smell burnt and the air feel like fire wrapped in dust. Zara wiped the sweat from her brow as she waited at the bus terminal in Ojuelegba. She had missed her Bolt ride, her power bank was dead, and her spirit was already drained from a rejection email she’d received earlier that morning. Life, once again, was doing too much.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then came him.</p><p><br/></p><p>A tall figure in a navy-blue shirt, sleeves rolled, hands tucked in his pocket. His eyes were unreadable — not the kind that held secrets, but the kind that made you want to tell yours. His wristwatch was broken. Completely still at 2:16 PM.</p><p><br/></p><p>“You look like you just lost a million naira,” he said, standing beside her.</p><p><br/></p><p>Zara shot him a tired look. “It’s been a long day.”</p><p><br/></p><p>He chuckled, then held up the watch. “Then maybe this moment is all we need. Let’s freeze it here — no past, no future. Just now.”</p><p><br/></p><p>She didn’t know whether to smile or walk away.</p><p><br/></p><p>But something about the way he said “now” felt like destiny had just pressed record.</p>
