To be honest, I got furious when I heard what Enyinnaya said to Iris. It hurt that the one person she was bold enough to tell her feelings could not appreciate her for it let's alone reciprocate it. My reactions to the situation wasn't called for but I had acted out of impulse and I most certainly will not start regretting it now.
I watch as Iris tries her best to hold back her tears. To say I'm not surprised by her actions, would be a deliberate lie.I settle down beside her, take her both hands in mine and gently squeeze them."You know you don't have to cry over that jerk, right?"
She nods.
"I really didn't want to let my feelings go this far, but somehow it did and every time I see my stomach, I am reminded of him. It's bad enough that I am in love with someone who can never love me back, but what is worse is that I am carrying his child."
"So you don't plan to take out the baby anymore?" I am silently praying for her to say ye

Two weeks later Iris If anyone had told me making preparations for a wedding would be this chaotic, I would have totally disagreed with them, but not anymore, and the most annoying thing about the whole situation was that Greg and I already hired the service of a wedding planner but it didn't look like it. It felt like everyone was out for my neck; the wedding planner and her employees, my fashion designer, make up artists, hair stylist, Greg's family and off course Nelly and Alyssia. The only person that did not add to the chaos was Zinnia, my half sister, well not entirely so, cause I had been disappointed to know only few days ago that she had not returned to Greece as we had previously thought but had been living a quiet life in Abuja for reasons I still don't know. "I honestly think you should go with the nude colour, red feels too sharp against your dark skin." Okay, scrap all I said about Zinnia not adding to the chaotic state of my wedding pla
CONQUERED Prologue
PROLOGUEIRIS I had the excitement of a child whose mother just returned from a long travel, the reason behind it wasn't far fetched: I was finally going to be a young billionaire without struggles unless, off course getting Mr Amadi's signature was considered one."Nelly" I called out to my personal assistant"Yes ma"" You are sure he said he wanted to meet with me in person?""yes ma.""And that is the only condition he gave for signing?" I further queried, grinning from ear to ear."That is all he requested, he read the contract and found it too appealing to resist. I'm certain meeting you is just a formality, perhaps he wants to know Nigeria's youngest female billionaire.""You are right, I mean, who wouldn't want to know me."I could just imagine how well planned my life was. A signature from Mr Amadi, a sealed contract worth billions, paparazzi trying to capture my

ENYINNAYAShe looked exactly as I remembered; tall, dark skinned with legs that seemed endless. I watched as she confidently strode to where I sat, elegance oozing from everything she wore. What completely enraptured me though was her lips that was painted a bright red colour, I remembered vividly how my lips felt on hers and for a brief moment, my groins ached. Iris. In just one night she had her being imprinted in my mind."Mr Enyinnaya Amadi?" She asked as she got to where I sat."Yes. Please do sit down." I replied"Nice restaurant this hotel has" she said after a quick appraisal of the restaurant."Yeah, really nice, and I can assure you, the rooms are even better." I replied with a knowing wink hoping she caught the meaning behind my response.She smiled showing her perfect set of teeth, catching me off guard. She was beyond beautiful and I was glad I was the reason behind her s

ENYINNAYATen minutes; ten minutes was all it took before she returned through the same door she walked out from. I couldn't help the smile that palmed my face. Iris, she was a spitfire, a fierce, stubborn and achingly arrogant princess, a very though one at that, but somehow, she knew when to bend to a tougher wind. After our night together she had left a kind void no other woman had been able to fill, engaging me in a rigorous task of searching for a certain lady called Iris that had proved futile, but then fate had brought her back to me through a business contract and I wasn't just going to let her go."You are back, didn't expect you to return so soon" I said as she came to stand before me.She snorted in an unladylike manner, pulled out the chair she had sat on before and dropped her bag before taking another to sit on."The smile on your arrogant face says the exact opposite, so don't you try to make me your object of jest.""Rea

IRISFury couldn't begin to express how I felt. I knew what I needed at that moment was a bottle of cold whiskey to calm my rattled nerves. Enyinnaya Amadi had chosen the wrong person to make his nemesis.The walk from his restaurant to my car was the longest walk I had ever taken or so it seemed, it was supposed to take not more than two minutes to get to my car, but at that moment two minutes seemed like two decades."Ma'am did you get the recording?" Nelly asked with much enthusiasm as soon as I got into the car.How could I bash the poor girls pride by telling her that her super smart plot to trap Mr Amadi was ruined by someone seemingly smarter, but then again, there was just no other option so I decided to just out with it."It didn't work, apparently he had a crisis management plan in the form of a person called Swift." Her brows knitted in utter confusion."I don't understand what you mean by that ma." She said, but

IrisThe beep coming from my phone woke me up, and I couldn't help but hiss when I saw the caller ID; Alyssa, why would she be calling this early I briefly wondered before remembering that I am supposed to be madam C.E.O had yesterday's meeting been a successful one. Her call would definitely be to find out how the meeting had gone and perhaps congratulate me for that, what a pity though, there would be no need for a congratulatory message as there was absolutely nothing to celebrate."Good morning" I greeted in response to hers after picking the call"Oya, give me the gist. How did it go? Are you now madam C.E.O? Is he good looking? Well, was the meeting stressful?" She bombarded me with questions and I was not surprised. Alyssa was a natural born gist lover and that was the one of the few habits she never outgrew."Madam, so which one of your questions should I answer first?" I asked in return."Anyway joor, just give me the full gist

IRIS"Hey Mami" The caller said. A deep frown graced my face, I didn't need any priest to tell me the caller was; Enyinnaya Amadi. A nice way to ruin my already not so good morning. I wasn't going to ask how he got my private number cause that would be akin to asking the devil how he possessed humans."What do you want?" I asked, still with an angry voice."We both know what I want, right Mami?" He teased."See, Mr Amadi or whatever, it's too early in the morning for games, so if you are not going to say anything reasonable, I will suggest you get off my phone. Some of us have to work to keep living."*Come on Mami. Why are you being so cranky this early in the morning, huh?"What the heck! He had nerves acting like he didn't know he was the reason I was being cranky so early in the morning. At that point, my patience became exhausted and I was about to cut his call when he continued."I need to see you today. Meet me same place
CONQUERED Chapter six
MR NARRATORAnyone describing Mr Enyinnaya Amadi as a black god of beauty wouldn't be so far fetched from the truth, except this god was a mortal being with an undeniable crave for women so one could also add the fact that he was also a sex god.Two ladies quietly walked into the classy restaurant, except the synchronous sound coming from their six inches stilleto heels was considered as noise.One of the lady, a tall, curvy and light skinned charmer, was dressed in a yellow skin tight dress that ended a little above the knee. Her hair extensions was packed up in a ponytail and she had a light make up done on her attractive oval face. Though an utter beauty, she wasn't the reason the guy seated at the far end of the restaurant kept an unwavered gaze. The other lady beside her who seemed more like a boss lady was responsible.Boss lady was a tall, lanky and dark skinned beauty. She was dressed in a white two piece designers jumpsuit that

I utter without a pause in between my words."Hmm." She frowns for a while and continues. "This lot that you are talking about, I hope it's something good, because I'm tired of hearing bad news already.""Bad news? From who? About what." Her choice of words draws my attention so I curiously question them."Before I begin talking to you about that news, first tell me about that very fine and expensive car I saw in your car park. It's yours right?" She questions me, gleefully.I nod in response."Heyyyyy!!!" She exclaims and jumps up from the chair she had been sitting down on. "Babe! That is a Ferrari portofino!!

IRIS"Babe are you ready now?" Gregory ask me while he tries to keep himself busy with the magazine on my puff in my sitting room."I will be in a minute." I yell out in response to him, from my bedroom.For the past one month we had been together, Gregory Malik had been nothing but loving and affectionate towards me. He had proven Nelly wrong and even she was beginning to like the idea of me being in a relationship with Gregory. I was really enjoying this alter ego, and one beautiful thing about this new side of him was the fact that he was completely selfless and quite obsessed with me. He had gone ahead to involve himself in everything regarding my life including my business too, and though initially I had felt it was an invasion of my private space but I soon came to the realization that if I had plans of being together with Gregory for a long time, then I had to learn how to accommodate him in not just my heart but also my life."How do I look?"

ENYINNAYAA lot of questions run through my mind as I sit in my office, with my iPod in my ear, Omah Lay's Bad influence sounds directly into my ears, while I keep staring at the picture of the lady that is my screen saver; Iris Adelana.She is dressed in a white bum short and a bikini bra. Her long, full hair that is left unpacked forms an afro on her head, giving her diamond shaped face, a fullness. Her black skin glowed with the wetness of the beach water on her skin and, an added effect from the sun of that afternoon. Her long, legs ended in foots that were bare of any foot wear except the beach sand on which they stood. She exuded innocence, femininity and strength in one picture, she was no doubt a siren, and I am the victim; the one who she had trapped in her spell."Iris Adelana, what are you doing to me? even now." I mutter, lost in my thoughts of her. Everything with her was like an unadulterated magic, her smile was pure and even if she tried to hide

Iris"Gurl, are you really pregnant?" Nelly asks me, the minute we get to my car.I laugh, but it's short."I'm not pregnant joor.""Ehen? So why did you lie to him about being pregnant and risk loosing the contract?""He was being unbearably rude. I would have struck that his big mouth with a slap, but managed to hold back because I don't want the media to have a field day off my personal life.""But you know we need that contract na, you have a goal remember?""Well, you are not wrong. We need that contract, but longtech needs this partnership more and I'm sure they will not be foolish enough to let this opportunity go.""Well, from what I saw, Mr Folarin is definitely foolish. So?""Calm down, I have a plan, even if Mr Folarin is foolish to let this go, I'm not stupid enough to just sit back and do nothing to stop him."

I ignore the phone and return back to sleep, but the continuos ring doesn't give room for that."Who could be calling me this early in the morning?" I grumble, while reluctantly standing up from my bed."Ooh, Nelly!" I grumble, after Checking the caller ID and finding it to be hers. "Why is she calling me this time around eh?" I ask nobody, thus there is no response."Good morning ma." She greets."What do you want?" I don't bother to greet or try to be courteous."Wawuu! Girl what's up?
