Secrets
Adebisi and Adeola’s love story took place in the mysterious depths of Ibadan, where spirits of past generations lingered and shadows hid secrets. Adebisi met Adeola at the Oja Oba market, where supernatural whispers whispered through the palm trees, her eyes reflecting the wisdom of old Yoruba priestesses.
Promised to another by a dark covenant, Adebisi’s heart met Adeola, a guy whose mysterious aura both intrigued and terrified her. Unknown to Adebisi, Adeola had concealed a secret as dark as the night — the blood of a lineage steeped in forbidden rituals and ancient malevolence.
Under the mysterious Iroko tree, their secretive love developed into a dance between desire and the frightening shadows that surrounded them. Adebisi had no idea that Adeola’s family was thirsty for the essence of pure-hearted beings. His duty to sacrifice Adebisi in order to feed the evil spirits that plagued their family soured his affection for her.
The moon not only observed their brief moments but also the revelation of secrets from the pasts of both lovers. Born from a long line of priestesses, Adebisi knew a secret incantation that might drive out the evil that had haunted Adeola’s family. But Adeola was bound by a dark covenant with the spirits to keep his dire revelation a secret.

The secrets of the two lovers collided under the cursed iroko tree on the night of the scheduled union.
