Lagos, Nigeria (Cookie)

Still a little bit shocked by the previous incident, Cookie went to her room's ensuite. She watched her face with the cool water running from the tap. She got a little bit lost looking at her reflection on the mirror. Cookie had big eyes, plump lips and a slightly pointed nose. She loved how dark and long her eyelashes were and how it made her eyes attractive.

Cookie blinked her eyes severally as she wiped her face dry with her towel before she walked to the kitchen. There, she found Fabian cooking.

She was surprised because it was either the maids in the house or Gloria that does most of the cooking. Speaking of Gloria, she had some work to do so she wasn't around. Cookie stood by the door, resting her back on the wall as she became engrossed with watching Fabian slicing the yam. Mr. Chef did not even notice someone staring at him.

"Woah," Cookie finally exclaimed and that caught his attention.

Fabian's eyes widened out of shock and he gave her a weak smile

    Lagos, Nigeria (Cookie) "Fabian! Fabian!" Amanda's scream vibrated through the walls of the house. Cookie could hear the voice getting closer and coming towards the living room, where she was busy playing video game. Fabian was with her but he was typing away on his phone, ignoring the fact that Amanda was shouting his name. Amanda entered the living room. She walked past Cookie and towards Fabian but not without hissing and snapping her eyes at her.Cookie just sighed and continued with playing her video game. "Fabian, I want to ask you something and I demand for your attention," Amanda said rudely. Cookie paused her game because it was hard for her to focus on it. The noise Amanda was making was distracting and she also wanted to watch the little drama that was about to take place. She just couldn't mind her business even she wanted to. Fabian took a quick glance at his girlfriend and then back to his phone like he wasn't the one being spoken to. "Fabby, I'm I not talking to

She finds them welcoming and nice but when it comes to Amanda, it was a different story all together. For the past few days she'd lived here, she had been able to avoid her.

They were drinking and having a conversation when Fabian's scream interrupted them."What is it honey? Why shouting my name like that? Do you want to fall down the roof of this mansion?" Amanda asked when Fabian and Cookie walked closer."How many times have I told you that Cookie's not a maid?" Fabian asked instead.Amanda looked at him briefly and then behaved like no one had spoken to her. She continu

    Lagos, Nigeria (Amanda)"What are you saying, my daughter? That Fabian left you?" Queen Beatrice kept asking, "How can he leave you a month before your wedding? This is annoying."The king remained quiet. He had lots of things running through his mind. He had told his village council about his daughter's upcoming marriage and was disappointed to hear about their breakup. How was he going to break this disheartening news to them now? Another of his concern was placed on his daughter. He knew Amanda was young for marriage but if she continued with her bad attitude, over protectiveness and selfishness, he didn't think she was going to get a date anytime soon. Thirdly, his first son Nonso had refused to get into any form of entanglement ever since he came back from England. King Eze was getting old and he wanted an heir apparent to the throne before he kicked the bucket. Also, he wanted to see his grandkids before doing so. The customs and traditions of his village were that the King's

The one She'd occupied with Gloria since they moved into Uncle Kayode's house."Yes...?" it came out as a question rather than an answer because Cookie wasn't so sure of her self. She didn't know if she was ready to go about life in another country.Charity took a look at Cookie's polythene bag that was sitting on her small bed. She furrowed her brow in confusion."Come on, don't tell me you are only taking those—"

For a first time ever being in a plane, Cookie was afraid of a plane crash and also scared of heights."Are you alright?" Someone sitting at her back tapped her but she gnored the person, not knowing what her answer should be.Am I alright? Am I?.. Hell no, I am not.She told herself.Although, a part of her was happy that she'd entered a plane for the first time since she was born while anot

    "prepare yourself for this chapter."****I woke up with a slight headache the next day. I sat up on my portable bed while massaging my temple and squinted my eyes cause of the lights coming from the lights.Nepa keeps the light steady these days.. Maybe a popular politician is in town unless the lights would have been disco instead. On and off.I sighed and then looked around my room, suddenly remembering that the last place I was was in my living room. Funny thing I can't remember exactly what happened. Maybe it was because of the headache I was having that was giving me a hard time to think.How did I get to my room?I collected my phone from my nightstand, turned it on to see that Deardre had sent me a text which reads;I know that you are angry and you have every reasons

"Cookie didn't do it. Amanda did."I couldn't piece up what she had just told me. How can Amanda put a dead rat in her own plate and accuse Cookie for it?Who does that? Or should I say, why will she do that?"I don't get you.""believe it or not Fabby.. This morning when I was getting ready for the wedding.. I saw Amanda standing close to the kitchen, whispering something and handing a black bag to her maid, Amaka.

    Hey! Just wanted to say I love y'all readers. ❤***********I wore my one arm knee length Ankara gown, a flat shoe to match, tied up my brown extension hair into a bun, wore my glasses, my earrings, necklace, bangle and then a touch of lipstick on my lip.Nothing too much cause we were only going to Mrs. Okonkwo's to buy some beads just like the King had said.I touched my necklace, looking at my reflection on the mirror whilst admiring how beautiful I look.These are one of the days I just can't help but admire my own self. Self love is indeed the best love.I smiled broadly then a tap came to my door, starting me a bit. "who's that?""are you giving birth inside?" Tolu's voice told me."on my way."I imagined her rolling her eyes now when she said. "that's what you said like five minutes ago.

    We all sat down at the large sitting room, listening to the king as he lists out some few things that needed to be done at the traditional wedding."father, don't you think it would be better if we buy clothes from the city?" Jordan questioned, same thing on my mind."no. That should be for the white wedding-" he turned to Deardre. "are you okay now?"She gave a nod but still replied with a shy smile. "yes my king.""good. I want you to resume cooking for me. You know how much I like eating your food." the king said with a wide grin on his face.She looked down, her blonde hair fell, covering the sides of her face giving that we don't see the pink shades that must've have appeared on her cheeks already. She was blushing."thank you."He then turned to me and my eyes widened a little. "you taught her well, God bless you for that. You will sure be a good wif

    Something soft hit my head but I continued sleeping, then a nip on my skin followed by slaps on my poor leg but I just couldn't open my eyes, they were heavy with sleep.Then the unexpected happened, a pair of hands dragged my legs downwards, I struggled to stay on the bed as I gripped the sheets but it seems like my efforts was not enough because the next thing is i fell face flat on the floor."Ooowwwn!" I rubbed my nose, if I was white, my nose would have bled."Why did you do that?" I asked once I saw the annoying piece of shit.

    "You can't get married to a white woman!" King Obi repeated in a much louder and angry voice.We all freezed in shock and fear that I think I was no longer breathing. I felt Deardre was about to cry so I gave her hand a little squeeze to encourage her."papa like I said, she is my choice and we have a son already." Prince Chinonso said in a more apologetic voice, like he was trying not to get offended by his parents reaction when he told them he wanted to get married to Deardre.We had arrived at the village an hour ago, we enjoyed the ride here. The village smelt of mostly cassava, it was Sandy and quite bushy with alot of kids singing and playing around.The palace was beautiful and big, more like everything I was expecting it to look like but I wasn't expecting King Obi to react this way.I was expecting Queen Obi or princess Amanda to react this way but not him."have
