Series introduction: Men Who Rule Lagos, Women Who Ruin Them. They say Lagos men don't love softly, aren't the candy- Rosy-kind-of lovers, and the price of loving them is always heavy— The amount of understanding, girlfriend, and wife material duties and shit you have to endure to love them despite the bare minimum they always give in return, but we are all simply mistaking the power of being a womb-man, the gender with the sugar honeypot, or isn't it the same gender that made the Almighty King Solomon and David fall on their knees? Well, let me introduce you to the Ladies of "HEARTS BENEATH THE CITY OF LAGOS," the sisterhood mighty enough to bring the Kings of Lagos to their knees. "In Lagos, blood doesn’t lie. Silence doesn’t lie. And the ones we protect… no one touches.” After five years of being an understanding-girlfriend and still being dumped. Joy Eke swore to herself to never freely give her love ever again, and it seems God finally answered her prayers by bringing a wealthy guy who genuinely loved her, but...it came at a cost. Dating a Lagos drug lord wasn't part of her prayer point, nor could she escape his dangerous love not when...is involved.
