LOVE AND LIES

  AUTHOR:   NAMINA KAMARA In a world where love meets doubt, two best friends find themselves tangled in a web of fear and lies.

But when secrets start to unravel and unexpected messages cross the lines of friendship, nothing is as it seems. This is a story about trust, betrayal, and whether love can survive when everything is on the line . * LOVE AND LIES *   *Chapter One: Thirty Missed Calls and a Lie Waiting to Happen* “Jesus, Jesus, Marvellous!” Becca shouted, nearly spilling her Fanta as she dropped dramatically onto the couch. Marvellous, calm in her oversized t-shirt and headwrap, didn’t even flinch. “Becca, I honestly don’t have the strength for you today. Just go straight to the point. You’ve been shouting like a faulty generator.” Becca sat up, her eyes wide like she had seen something terrifying. “That gu...
