Lade: Of all the Girls in Lagos

By John Spurgeon

Will you still dote on an old flame who is no longer worthy of your company, just because you believe that since she was once good enough to be friends with, she still has it in her to be a better version of her present self?This is a romance thriller about a young man with a bright future who, struggles to prove to himself and everyone else that the girl he's in love with is much more than a pimped-out hooker who might also be a drug addict.This story revolves around Banks the heir to a business empire built by his mother. He has access to everything he could ever want. As such he has no business dilly-dallying with a pretty hooker and her P.I.M.P whose goons are always lurking. Except, Banks isn't just consorting with his old flame. Their paths in life has just crossed again and he's falling in love with her all over again, against the wishes of his friends and family, even her pimp; and offering her what she needs most - a getaway ticket from the clutches of crime she'd gotten entangled with. Some old feelings die hard, and Lade agrees to elope with Banks to his family home and quit the drugs thereby painting the bull's eye on his family. Four clean weeks later (including the accompanying withdrawal symptoms), Banks elder sister, Vanessa is kidnapped. Lade decides to give herself up to Sting in exchange for Vanessa without Banks' knowledge. When he finds out, Banks knows that Sting has no intention of releasing Vanessa in exchange for Lade. Banks must gang up with Mike, Vanessa's soldier-fiancee. They must find the exchange point to rescue Lade and Vanessa from Sting's evil plans.
