Precious POV Wait, he was here? That thought snapped me out completely like a bucket of water and I pulled away quickly but still enough to see the hurt that flashed through his eyes. "How are you here? How did you know where I live?" I fired the questions at him. My body was excited and nervous that he was there. Why was I nervous? Granted he hurt me, but I have never gotten the image of him out of my head. "What no hello? How are you?" he playfully smiled and I just glared at him making him gulp. He had a playful side to him that I had missed so much. His ability to either lighten or darken the mood always made me intrigued by him. "You know what I mean Ethan, what are you doing here?" I asked in an indifferent tone. As much as I knew that I was the one hurt, I was happy he was here, and that pissed me off. "Can we go somewhere to talk?" he asked quietly looking around and I noticed that we had managed to pull a crowd. I chuckled at people’s reactions. It was not every da
Precious POV"What are you doing here, Ethan? How did you get my address? Did Funke tell you, oh I'm going to strangle her for not telling me" I fired at him suddenly seriously? He tensed but sighed."I bought a company here in Lagos and came to see how it was going. Someone told me your address and no, it's not Funke, it was your dad." I went rigid.Did he just say my dad told him? That couldn’t be right. Why would daddy do that? does he know about my kidnapping? I started to panic."Does my dad know about what happened to me?" I asked frantically and Ethan's eyes widened shaking his head, I relaxed a little.It still didn't explain how my dad could have told him."I called him a few weeks after you returned home to check on you since you never replied to my messages and after some time he got fed up and yelled at me to come and make things right myself" he explained and I was slightly annoyed my dad didn't tell me, but I understood.I was practically useless for a few weeks after I
I see the moon in your eyes...I see the stars in your heart.©OluwatoyosiPrecious POVI woke up to my alarm blaring. Stretching my limbs, I moved to switch the alarm off.It was 7 am on Sunday, so I had to go to church. I attended the King's heritage parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God. Quickly getting up from my bed, I moved to the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face.Then I proceeded to the living room to start my chores and since my siblings weren't home, I had to do the work and the housekeeper doesn't come in on Sundays.I finished cleaning the house and cooking rice and stew for us, then I went to wake up my parents only to see my mum doing her daily quiet time and my dad snoring away.Shaking my head, I softly tell them food is done. I went into my room to have my bath. Stepping out of the bathroom, I took out my clothes which consisted of a long-sleeved, short flowing sky-blue gown that reached my knee and my pair of silver heels. I put on my lotion and un
Where did that come from? Get it together, Ife. "Ife will you come for my sister's wedding on Saturday," Mercy asked, snapping me out of my daze. I shook my head to get rid of those thoughts before returning to our conversation. "Babe, I can't. My convocation is on Friday and I leave on Thursday to be back on Saturday afternoon." I explained and her face fell but she quickly brightened, flashing her eyes at Ethan, and I wanted to slap her face away from him. "Yeah, come for the reception. Omolola wants to see you" I sighed, I knew she was lying, she just wanted me to bring Ethan. "I'll get her there," Ethan, who had been sitting there listening to the conversation, suddenly slipped in. He suddenly stood up to hold my waist and I gave him a curious glare. What was he playing at? "Thank you, járé brother," she said in her Yoruba accent as she touched Ethan's hands. C’mon, girl we were in church and you were flirting. "No problem," Ethan said firmly, pulling me away from her. We
P.S This chapter is a bit long, so sorry in advance. What you don't know,Can't hurt you...What you do know,Can change you.© Oluwatoyosi Ethan's POV I drove for about 2hours but finally pulled up at the gigantic building. I turned and looked at Ife, she had woken up 30mins when she first slept but I told her we hadn't gotten there yet, so she picked up her phone and was reading I think a book called The Alchemist, which was what she called it, and went right back to sleep. She looked so peaceful and still so beautiful; she still had the power to knock me out of breath anytime I saw her. I leaned in and caressed the side of her hair, she relaxed and moaned, and I smiled knowing I still affected her. I wish we could stay like this for a while, peaceful, without having to eventually see the look of dislike for me in her eyes. I could tell she tried to make it subtle but I always got it and it pained the hell out of me. I wished, I wanted to turn back the hands of time and go ba
A friend stays,No matter what...A true friend's advice,Is it more than worth it?©OluwatoyosiPrecious POVI woke up early due to my alarm blaring in my ears. Groaning, I switched it off and stood from my bed to have my morning prayers.I hated Mondays. I had to get to work before 8 am and it was 5:30 am. After my prayers, I entered my bathroom to have my bath. I finished in under 10 minutes and picked out my outfit which consisted of black jeans with a long sleeve black top and my white canvas.I dried off my body and put on some lotion, then I wore my clothes and tucked in the top. Finishing it up with a black belt, I added some powder to my face and lip gloss to my lips before moving to put on my silver stud and long silver cross necklace.I quickly called an Uber to take me to work before proceeding to wear my shoes and put on my wristwatch. I put my phone and purse into my small bag and placed my lab coat on my arm. Satisfied with my appearance, I left my room and went into my
Precious POV Roses are red violets are blue,The world evaporates,when I'm with you. I wanted to get the whole pot of flowers but I didn't think you would be able to carry them home. I miss you and love you so much Ethan xx I smiled at the card like a child who had been taken to the amusement park. This was beautiful but how did he get it to enter the factory? I shrugged, he was a multi-billionaire, and his money could buy this factory. I placed the bouquet into a glass and put water in it then kept it by my table. I opened the box next and my jaw dropped at my favorite chocolates looking delicious. This chocolate was so expensive and I grinned so hard as I put it in my mouth, savoring the taste. I was interrupted from satisfying my taste buds for a little longer when my cabin door opened to reveal the clients I had been waiting for. I composed myself. "Please have your seats and let's get started" I gestured for the two men to sit down. I was finally done with my work for

Give me a chance.©OluwatoyosiPrecious POV “Let me see you (go low low low low) let me see you (go low low low low low). Buga wọn(Lemme). Buga wọn"Funke, Arewa, and I sang along to Kizz Daniel and Tecno’s song ‘Buga’ playing from the radio in Arewa's car as he drove us to Abeokuta for our convocation.We all studied at the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, and finished very well. We had decided to stay in my family house here in Abeokuta near the school so we could be early for the convocation because the road would be blocked with traffic."Óyá, we are in Abeokuta, let's go and enjoy ourselves before tomorrow. It's still early" Arewa suggested, and I grinned. I checked the time and saw that it was still 1 pm, which meant we had enough time to go wherever we wanted to."Let's go to Obasanjo's library," I clapped my hands in excitement.Obasanjo's
