Chapter 1- Chimamanda

The alarm by the bedside beeps indicating that the owner needs to wake up for work. 

She grunts and climbs out of her bed. Chimamanda the second child and the most successful daughter of Chief Uche Odenigbo of Odenigbo Group a.k.a The business magnate .

A professional lawyer who heads the legal department of Odenigbo Group.

After thirty minutes of preparation, she's set for work and heads to the dining room for her breakfast of tea, scrambled eggs and two slices of bread prepared by her wonderful chef, Julie. 

After her breakfast she picks her bag, laptop and some office files. 

She looks at her self in the Mirror in the living room. Satisfied with her appearance, she leaves the mansion in her BMW SUV driving to work. 

She parks in her custom parking space for the Head of the legal department once she arrives at the company's parking lot. 

She enters the elevator and heads for her office. She slides into her office chair, arranges her bag, laptop and office files neatly on her large mahogany table.

She tells her prayers, an old character imbibed in her by her mother. She goes through the email her P.A sent to her for reviews.

"Miss Odenigbo, The Chairman needs your attention". Elo chimamanda's father's P.A informed her. 

"What does he want me for" ? She asked. "I'm afraid, I don't know Ma'am" she replies and leaves the office. 

She leaves her office and heads to her Dad's office, she walks into the large office with shelves lined up by the wall, different kinds of business books by different authors are stocked in them. 

She secretly admires the office whenever she enters it, knowing one day it will belong to her. 

Chief Uche Odenigbo was standing by the large view of the outside world looking outside a habitual thing he takes pleasure in doing.

"Good morning, Dad", "Morning Princess" he replies. "I need you to follow me to our new branch, I need to see how things are moving there". 

When it comes to her Dad's business, Chimamanda takes an active role. That's why she always accompanies her Dad for any business transaction, except it's nothing serious, then his PA will accompany him.

"Okay, Dad, let me grab my stuff's I'll meet you downstairs". She left for her office to grab all she would need and headed for the Elevator. She meets him at the receptionist desk, and they walk together to his Ford Explorer with Chuka his driver behind the wheels.

After the day's activities in the office, she heads home. Once she got home, She took a shower to refresh her nerves. She puts on a black gown with a low neck line that shows her cleavage and stops mid thighs. 

She applies a light make-up on her face and packs her long hair in a messy bun. She and her sisters inherited the long hair from her maternal family who are Americans. She grabs her phone, car keys, small blue hand bag and walks out of her room.

"Chimamanda, where are you heading to?"She heard the familiar voice which belongs to her senior sister Chidinma. 

"I'm going to the club, it's boring staying at home" she replied. 

"Do you mind if I join you"? Chidinma ask giving her a puppy eye look. 

She was not going to buy that face because she knows what her sister is up to.

"Yes, I mind, I'm better off by myself instead of having an annoying baby sitter watch me." She replied sardonically. 

Chidinma chuckles "Come on, I won't baby sit today, I promise, let's just keep today as a fun day between us." 

She turned back, eyeing her an  'Are you serious look. "I'm serious, Jean" she responds. 

She likes addressing her with her middle name, and she doesn't seem to mind that, it's still her name. 

"Okay"Chimamanda says defeated and follows her to her room to get her dressed.

Chimamanda pulls out a Dark Orange gown long enough to make it's way down between the hips and knees, with the sides open down to the waist. She gives it to her sister to try it. Chidinma Immediately slips her body into the dress. It brought out her every curve and the back dipped down to the bottom of her spine.

"Perfect" Chimamanda exclaims. 

Chidinma sits down for Chimamanda to make her up. 

She outlines a dark smoky eye to compliment her light skin and apply a black lip stick on her lips. You can now look at the Mirror and thank me".

She looks at the mirror smiling at the oeuvre displayed on her face. "Thanks sis" she said with an approving smile.

"You are welcome, now let's start going". 

Chidinma grabbed her purse and her phone heading outside behind her sister.
