Louis gave a hearty introduction of Aminu to which Aminu came up on stage and gave him a hand shake per formalities. I knew he wanted to hug Louis for that very mushy introduction.
Aminu stood at the podium and I knew he was already searching for me by the way his eyes were moving around. When his eyes finally landed on me, his chest visibly came down and he started.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for being here today to witness the unveiling of Amira Group of Companies." He said and got an applause in response. I wanted to scream for him but I read my environment quite well and saw that it wasn't necessary.
He continued after the applause died down "This is a company that is very dear to my heart, I spent the last few years working on putting it together and I'm just glad that it's finally here." Another applause. The speech went on for another three to four minutes and I couldn't help but no

ZaraI felt horrible as I exited the door to the chalet and almost didn't notice Patrick leaning on the wall with his back like the creepy person that he was. I stopped abruptly because he was partially blocking my way."Wow Zara, you look beautiful." He said when I opened my mouth to tell him to excuse me.I rolled my eyes. I wasn't in the mood for his mind games. "Would you just let me pass?" I said."Oh I will dear I will. How are you enjoying your evening though?" He said smirking devilishly."Don't fucking patronize me Patrick. I know what you did and soon, everyone will know it too" I said. This was the first time I was threatening someone, but if I was right about Patrick then he deserved it because he was a horrible person."Wow, she swears" he said feigning surprise. I glared so hard a him and I was doing everything in my power not to swipe my hand a

ZaraI was in utter pain as my heart pounded painfully in my chest at the sight in front of me. So this was the reason why Aminu sent me away. It hurt so much to even look at his head on Jasmine's shoulder and Jasmine caressing his head. Only God knew what had gone on before I walked in here.They still hadn't noticed my presence until I sniffed as tears rolled down my cheeks. Aminu's head whipped up and when he saw me, he pushed Jasmine away. Jasmine who was wearing a smug look on her face.Aminu betrayed me. This was what Lanre didn't want me to see."Zara.." Aminu said standing up.I closed my eyes, trying not to scream.I immediately walked out of the room to avoid doing anything that would involve throwing a fit or tantrum. I promised myself that I would never fight over a man. And even as much as I loved Aminu, if he chose to be disloyal to me then there was no point.I could hear Aminu chase after me, eventually blocking

This was a day that I looked forward to. Taking a big step with my partner and love and launching this amazing venture only for it to end in disaster and tears. Sad was an understatement."Are you going to talk about it now or you're not up to it?" Louis said while he drove us home as he didn't like having a driver. I kept mute not because I was ignoring him but because I couldn't talk at all. I couldn't bring myself to without bawling my eyes out again so I just sat in that passenger's seat trying to think about anything but Aminu until I fell into a deep slumber.**I woke up in bed in my night wear with Tanna laying by my side. I noticed that my hair was out and my makeup also cleaned. Tanna probably did all that for me. She was such a wonderful friend. I looked at the time. It was just a little after 7am on Saturday. Immediately I moved, Tanna woke up as well."Hey, Zara are you okay" she asked a

ZaraIt had been two weeks since I had contact with anyone other than my cousin Louis and my best friend Tanna. Aminu had tried getting in contact with me and so did Lanre and Tayo but I resolved to blocking them all for the moment. I hated what I was doing but I wasn't ready to face anyone yet.Today was the first day in two weeks that I was going in to work. I had been working from home so as to not piss the board and my aunt, but I just didn't want any human contact. Up until this moment I still felt very horrible about what happened at the launch.Aminu had come to my house multiple times each day to see if I would talk to him, even Tanna begged me to see him but I refused. I wasn't ready to listen to him without screaming at him. I sat at my table in the office looking affectionately at the ring on my finger. I still hadn't taken it off. I couldn't bring myself to do

AminuI was devastated. I could barely sleep or eat knowing that my fiancée wasn't speaking to me. I hadn't seen or spoken to her in two weeks and Louis was not helping matters at all. He never allowed me close to her, talking about 'you weren't loyal to her'.I knew very well that it looked bad, what I did. But I had an explanation that apparently nobody wanted to hear. I took a large gulp of the whiskey in my glass and poured myself another one, taking a large drag off the cigar in between my fingers. This was what I had resorted to in order to ease the pain of my love being far away from me.I looked fondly at the bracelet on my wrist which had her name on it. I bled in my heart about this scenario we were in at the moment. I had lost count of the many bouquets I had sent to her house and office everyday for the past two weeks with no response back.

Aminu"Here, got this for you" I said giving my lover the gift I bought for her. She reluctantly took it, looking at me skeptically."I hope you didn't go spending millions on this, I'll just cry." She said and I laughed."No no. Just open it baby" I said smiling at her.She opened the long and slim box to reveal a silver necklace with a sapphire pendant. Her jaw dropped."Aww this is so pretty" she said gushing over it. I knew she would think it was expensive. It actually wasn't, well not by my own standards anyway."Babe. These look like diamonds" she said giving me a look while inspecting the chain."Yeah.. um they are actually. The blue sapphire in the middle is your birthstone." I said trying to spare myself the lecture that was coming. She had told me before to tone down the expensive gifts for now when she foun

ZaraIt was the weekend and Aminu and I decided to spend it together in his house. Especially since I would soon be living with him as his wife, it would be good to get to know the house and get acquainted with it.I was currently in the kitchen whipping up an Igbo delicacy for him. I was making Ugba (shredded oil bean) with goat meat and Palm wine for him. I had gotten the palm wine from a vendor here in Lagos who had so many good reviews. This was the very first time I was cooking for him so I wanted it to be sumptuous.I was already in the final stages of preparing the meal when i felt a set of powerful arms wrap around my waist."Mmm. That smells lovely baby." He said and kissed my neck."Thank you. Wait until you taste it." I said, trying to ignore the things that Aminu's touch and kisses were doing to my body.He bit my ear and whispered "what if I want

Zara"Mm this is delicious. You know, I've never had this dish even though my mother is Igbo. She's more gourmet than anything else. But this is spectacular. I've been missing a lot..." Aminu complimented, but all I could think about was the anxiety associated with the fact that Aminu's mother was coming to town soon and I would soon meet her.Contrary to what people thought, I wasn't not very excited to meet her as the scenes with me and the rest of Aminu's family members weren't very delightful or pleasant. Meeting her might very well solidify the fact that none of them would accept me. Well I still was not sure where I stood with his father. That was also a problem."Baby.. Zara" Aminu tapped and called before my mind came back from wonderland."Oh, sorry what were you saying" I said blinking rapidly. I didn't know what he said beyond missing a lot."I was saying how I love th

Aminu. Previously... "Ma'am this is from Mr Garba" he said and gave me a card. "What's that?" Tanna asked. I opened it and smiled "aww it's a note" "Aww. Read it out" she said. So curious for gossip. I giggled. "To my Angel Wife, I remember the day we met. It was then that I knew that I wouldn't let you slip through my fingers. At first sight I knew that you were the one for me. I didn't care about anything else other than being with you from that moment. I just knew I wanted to see you happy. The love I feel for you is strong and eternal. My Queen, you are the light in my life, the air in my lungs. You give me purpose in every way and I am so happy you agreed to be with me forever. Your aura has consumed me and I want to bask in the light that you give for the rest of eternity. Today, we seal the deal and I just wanted to s

Zara Previously... "Sorry ma'am I didn't wasn't to keep you waiting so I had to let you in before they were done." Atafo apologised. "There's no need to apologise. I don't mind" I shrugged. Tanna who had been silent all along tapped me pointing at an armless gown she seemed to like. "That's a really cool design." Tanna said. "Feel free to move around and choose. I'll be waiting for what you decide. You can also have this notepad to write down your thoughts." He said and gave us a notepad. We began our search. The gowns on display were all breathtakingly gorgeous. I was so shook at what Atafo could actually do with those hands of his. I Was already imagining what my wedding dress would look like. "So do you have anything in mind?" Tanna asked me. "Yeah I have an idea of what I want. I want an armless dr

Zara Previously... "Do you miss Greece? We could go back soon if you want." He said taking my hand across the table. "Yeah but we will plan it this time Mimi. No surprises." I warned and he sat up, putting his hand on his chest. "Promise ma'am" he said. "Good. So what are we eating, I'm hungry." I said and took the menu. The dinner date was really fun. We had laughs and talked about everything. Also gossiped about a few of our friends. We basically dissected everything while violating table manners. But we didn't care. Once we were done with our three course meal of exquisite delicacies, as of on cue, music started to play. One of my favorite songs at the moment. Odo by Johnny Drille. "Can I have this dance ma cherie" Aminu held his hand out smiling while I laughed at something he had said earlier.

Zara. Previously... When the police man had chained him to the table and left, Patrick started laughing. "What's funny" I said frowning. "You know, I never ever thought that I would ever see you again in my life" Patrick said, still chuckling. "Well, one last time wouldn't hurt. I used to consider you my friend." I said and folded my arms. "I used to be in love with you you know. Or should I say, infatuated." Patrick said and chuckled. It seemed as though he was finding himself amusing. "I know that" I said. I surprising was not feeling any emotions right now towards him. Everything was well and okay. He didn't disgust me the way Jasmine seemed to. "Yeah and you know I didn't intend to shoot you. I'm really sorry." He said. "I just hope you don't hate me" "I don't Patrick. Have y

Zara Previously... The judge was rested back in his chair, but his face held shock and fear. Probably fear for knowing someone like Jasmine. Aminu who was sat beside me had become furious again and I stroked his arm to calm him which he was responding to well. The silence in the room was deafening for a few seconds before the judge finally spoke again. "Wow, officers, I don't know what you people are waiting for. Cuff her immediately." He said with venom in his voice. The policemen who were stationed in the courtroom went forward and cuf

Zara Previously... Your honor, my client is not guilty of the allegations on him. First of all, this child is legally his son which means he had all the right to have the boy in his custody however, the way it is being narrated is not how it happened. My client went to the Plaintiff's apartment which in his magnanimity he had given her, only to realize that she had run away from the house along with all her belongings leaving just the boy, the nanny and a letter confessing all her crimes against Mr Garba here. My client having a good heart, took the boy into his home even after finding out that the boy is not his. So your honor, this whole case is a lie and shouldn't even have been a case in the first place." My lawyer said and sat down. "Objection my Lord! There is no evidence to back his claim" Jasmine's attorney said.

Aminu. Previously... Almost a week had passed and it was finally the day that we would stand trial with the arbitrator. Aminu had pushed for it because he didn't want the stupid case to taint his brand which was the wise thing to do. The arbitrator would essentially keep everything on a low and not attract press to it. Or so I thought. I hadn't spoken to Aminu even after Tanna's intervention. Now I was ready and I was going to surprise him at the arbitrator's office. There was no way I would leave him to do this alone. I didn't tell Louis because his big mouth would tell Aminu in a heart beat. On getting to the venue for the trial, contrary to my belief, there was a swarm of press people with microphones and cameras at the doors to the building. What the hell? Who told them where it would be. I decided to hide and slip in undetected. I met a secur

Zara. Previously... "Yeah I get it. It's very nice of her though" I said and sighed, rubbing my eyes. "I really miss Zara. And Nas has been crying, he wants to see her. I'm always scared of going home to him because he'll start hounding me with questions and crying again." I said rubbing my face in frustration thinking about how sad Nasir was that Zara wasn't there. "Did he do that when he was brought to your house in the first place. Like did he cry about Jasmine?" Louis with his nosiness asked. "Not at all. It was like he didn't know the difference. Nasir for her was always a tool to use to get what she wanted so I believe they didn't have much of a relationship with each other." I said and sipped my usual glass of whiskey. "Don't worry, she'll come around" he said and his eye twitched. That was something I learnt over the years to look out for if Louis

Aminu. Previously... "Both you and Jasmine will rot in prison, I will make sure of that" I said, gritting my teeth. Anger rose in me and I had to fight of the urge to get my hands around his throat and kill him there and then. But then I had to allow the law take its course and Zara.. she wouldn't be happy with my line of action. "I've accepted my fate brother. I wish I did things better. I probably would get a life sentence or worse, be executed which I'll prefer because a life sentence is a fate worse than death. I have never asked you for anything before but I will do it now because this is a mutual need. Make sure Jasmine goes to jail or dies. That is my only wish." He said this time looking me in the eye. "That's easy. And for what it's worse. If you hadn't betrayed me and had told me about the fact that we were brothers from the onset, I would have accepted you with all the joy in the w
