Fated to More Than One

And it just so happens that she is awake when I remember our bedroom. The curtains are still pulled, the blinds also down so the rooms shrouded in darkness but despite that I’m able to see her sitting up in bed, she has Arlo laying on her legs and she’s staring down at him whilst humming that song she always hums. It sounds like a lullaby but in the same instance it’s sad. So can it really be a lullaby if it’s sad? I’d say no but perhaps others wouldn’t. I halt my movements, allowing her to hum to Arlo whilst I enjoy her voice.

Vengeance of a Billionaire's

This girl must have a very special place in his heart if he is willing to do so. “Don't laugh if my voice isn't up to par.,” said Ibrahim. “I just want you to sing before I fall asleep.” He cleared his throat before taking a big breath, imagining a tune suitable for a lullaby. When your legs don't work like they used to before And I can't sweep you off of your feet Will your mouth still remember the taste of my love Will your eyes still smile from your cheeks And darling I will be loving you 'til we're 70

Love Me Not, Mr. Snow

Love Me Not, Mr. Snow

I looked down at the now sleeping baby nestled in Diana’s arms, a stark contrast to the turmoil within me. My heart seethed like a flame, the pain tearing through me with a ferocity that took my breath away. The song had dredged up emotions too raw, memories too intense—memories that I battled daily to keep subdued, to prevent them from consuming me with the enormity of my loss. --- **Author’s Note: You can hear the lullaby on my i. g. page @theblackdaisy2023 under this book’s highlights <3**

I held him close, swaying slightly, feeling his warmth against me and without even thinking about it, I started to hum. The melody was soft and low, one I'd memorized in secret weeks ago, when Lena was still pregnant, when the nights were long and I couldn't sleep. A lullaby I learnt for my son, I never told anyone, not even her. It wasn't the kind of thing a man like me was supposed to know but I'd learned it anyway. Dylan's cries got weaker, fading into little hiccups. His eyes blinked up at me, heavy with sleep.

Well I can't make him miss his mom more, if it's a lullaby he wants then I shall song him one. I sigh. I don't have a good voice cause I don't usually sing, but since he wants to sing him a lullaby then I shall. I sit next to him and caresses his cheek, sometimes running my fingers through his hair as I sing. 🎶 Swing low, Sweet chariot... Coming for to carry Me home.... Swing low, Sweet chariot.... Coming for to carry Me home......🎶 I continue singing until I hear soft snores, then I know he's fallen asleep.

She let out another yawn and closed her eyes. “Elleanna?” “Hmm?” She hummed out. “Will you sing me a lullaby?” Romero asked softly. “Sure” She said softly then she began to sing a German lullaby she had learned in school once because she loved it “Shlaf, Kindlien, shlaf, Der Vater hut die Schaaf, Die Mutter schuttelts Baumelein, Da falls herb win Traumelein…Shlaf, Kindlien, schlaf….”

This book is by far one of the best books I have read on here. Many laughs and many, many tears. I recommend this book to anyone who loves a strong female lead along with supernatural entities. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Wonderful book though there are gruesome and painful torturous moments but the main lead is a brave, strong, kind hearted, positive and loving lady. Her positive outlook and disposition is commendable. Plenty of twist, hope, love lovely moments then psin real painful to read.. Hope for more lovely b

Even up until now when I was 18 years old, I still listened to them. Before I stripped down my clothes and turned the shower, I played the most sentimental lullaby on my phone. As it began to echo in the closed door of the bathroom, memories from which I suffered so much because of the tough past I had been through all this time flashed before my own eyes. The lullaby began, and so did my reminiscent. Rock-a-bye, baby On the treetop When the wind blows The cradle will rock, When the bough breaks The cradle will fall;

LOVE OF MY LIFE

he nodded his head I started singing the lullaby Lullaby, and good night, in the skies stars are bright May the moon, silvery beams, bring you with dreams Close you eyes, now and rest, may these hours be blessed Till the sky's bright with dawn, when you wake with a yawn Lullaby, and good night, you are mother's delight I'll protect you from harm, and you'll wake in my arms Sleepyhead, close your eyes, for I'm right beside you Guardian angels are near, so sleep without fear Lullaby, and good night, with roses be-dight Lilies o'er head, lay thee down in thy bed Lullaby, and good night, you are mother's delight

Sad to Say Goodbye

Sad to Say Goodbye

He had never imagined such a disaster could happen in a deal he had spent a year negotiating. At that moment, Sandra dropped to a deep ninety-degree bow, tears streaming down her face as she pleaded loudly, "I'm sorry! This has nothing to do with Mr. Ulrich! Don't scold him! I failed to discipline my child. Please forgive me, give me a chance to make it right!" The partner, startled, barked back, "I'm talking to Grayson! Who are you? How dare you ask me for forgiveness?" Sandra's tears fell in a torrent. Her shoulders shook, her posture small and pitiful, looking both wronged and helpless.

Frequently Asked Questions

'And Then He Sang a Lullaby' is this beautiful, gut-wrenching novel by Ani Kayode Somtochukwu that dives deep into love, identity, and the brutal realities of being queer in Nigeria. It follows two university students, August and Segun, whose lives collide in a way that’s both tender and tragic. August is this quiet, introspective guy who’s still figuring out his sexuality, while Segun is more outgoing but carries his own scars. Their relationship unfolds against a backdrop of societal homophobia, family expectations, and personal demons. What really gets me is how the author doesn’t shy away from the raw, messy emotions—joy, fear, heartbreak—all tangled up in the struggle to just exist as yourself.

What stands out is how the book balances the sweetness of first love with the harshness of external pressures. The scenes where August and Segun steal moments of happiness—whispered conversations, stolen touches—are so vivid, they stick with you. But then there’s the other side: the violence, the fear of being discovered, the weight of cultural norms. It’s not just a love story; it’s a survival story. The ending left me staring at the ceiling, thinking about how love can be both a refuge and a risk in places where it’s forbidden.
