❝When the soup sweet too much, na im dey burn the tongue.❞
I Believed Him is not just a story. It is a confession, a wound, a warning, and a rising. It is the voice of every woman who loved too hard, trusted too much, and was left with nothing but a baby in her arms and a silence louder than betrayal.
Set in modern-day Nigeria, this deeply emotional and heart-wrenching book follows the true-life journey of a young woman who falls in love with a married man. For two years, he gave her everything—money, attention, comfort, and promises of forever. He begged her to have his child, convinced her she was special, swore he'd never abandon her.
But when the pregnancy became real—and it turned out to be another girl—his excitement turned cold. The messages stopped. The calls went unanswered. The visa he promised to Canada never came. And the woman who once had a car in her name and an apartment in Lekki found herself alone, bleeding on a hospital bed, holding a newborn with no father in sight.
From surviving heartbreak and shame to finding the courage to return home and rebuild her life, this book is a raw, powerful, and beautifully written account of womanhood, motherhood, and rediscovering worth after devastation.
