💔 Sister vs Sister: The Unthinkable Betrayal
Amara’s seemingly perfect life takes a devastating turn when her younger sister steals her wealthy boyfriend. In a shocking twist, the sister announces she’s pregnant by him.

Wearing a plain white shirt and black slacks, Alex exudes humility. But there’s more to him than meets the eye. In a drunken haze, Amara offers him ₦100,000 to pretend to be her date at a family dinner meant to impress a visiting pastor.
Turns out, Alex isn’t a bartender at all—he’s a multibillionaire with a sharp mind and a heart full of surprises. What begins as a fake date turns into a whirlwind of emotions, revelations, and plot twists.
