Groom For The Day She Chose Him
Just like that, they stayed talking until morning.“I have to go,” she said as the shaft of light brushed the sky.“Okay,” Ayo said even though he had a lot more to say.“Yeah,” she said without disconnecting the call and they both grew quiet again, each listening to the breathing of the other.“I miss you,” Ayo said suddenly. “I wish I could have been there with you. I hope I can help you through this. I want to be there for you.”He heard the catch of her breath before she said in a low tone; “We need to talk. After.”“Okay, but…”“I need to go. The queen… we are having a meeting with the councils of kingsmaker today. They say it's a condolence visit, but I don’t think it is that simple. So, yeah. I need to go. To prepare and stuff.”“Can I come and see you?” Ayo asked hurriedly before she could disconnect the call.“I will be busy,” she said before the call was disconnected.Ayo’s heart grew heavy again as he stared at his phone. At first, it seemed like things were better between t

“No, I would not.” Five faces turned to look at Tanya in surprise.“Princess, you mean you don’t mind if the title leaves your lineage?” One of the kingsmen asked.“No, she can never say that. My daughter, do you have a fever? I am sure it must be the stress of everything, right?” Dowager Charlotte asked as she gave Tanya a meaningful look.Tanya shook her head and said; “I am fine. My mother is right though. I don’t mean that the title should leave our lineage. What I am saying is that there is another alternative that we are not thinking of.”“What alternative? What other alternative is there, princess?” Another kingmaker asked while Brianna looked at her with interest.“I can’t be queen. I was never meant to rule. George is…was the perfect person for that. Not me.”“But the king is no longer with us, my princess. In the history of our land, we have never had a queen rule before, but time is advancing, and we are willing to allow change too. That is why we wouldn’t mind crowning yo

“My queen, I must implore you to think well about this role. Just as the princess had said; you have indeed ruled alongside the king for some years, but you need to know that things will be different now. Once you accept this role, you will be solely responsible for many things. Until the prince is old enough to handle matters for himself, you are the one the people will talk about if anything goes wrong.”Tanya sucked in her breath at the man’s indirect jab. He believed Brianna wouldn’t be able to handle the role, and he was already expecting that there would be issues. Tanya thought for a long time that maybe she should have informed Brianna about this before as well. Putting her on the spot like this might be a bit too much for her. Maybe…“I will do it.” Brianna’s strong voice interrupted her thought.She had mostly been quiet during such meetings in the past month, and she had been the same that evening too.Tanya knew she must have been surprised by her suggestion, but as she tur

“You are Unleashed?” Ayo’s heart leapt as he heard her voice.He turned back with an automatic smile which died immediately as he saw the look on her face while she held his laptop in her hands.He had been buried in his new book throughout the night. He stayed up all night in the study which he had turned into his temporary office, and he just stepped out to clear his head with some fresh air.“You are back,” he said with the excitement he felt about her return still showing in his voice.“Answer my question,” she said in a deadpan tone while looking at him. When he hesitated, she looked at the laptop in her hand and back at him, “When did you even get a laptop? What else are you hiding from me?” she said in a raised voice.Ayo looked away from her.He blamed himself for not closing his laptop before coming out. He didn’t want her to find out like that. He was going to tell her after all.“Answer me!” she shouted at him and that surprised him.Even though her staff were always so qu

“Give me your best,” he said to the bartender as he sat on the stool.“You’ve got it, boss,” said the bartender. In a few seconds, he had slid a drink in front of him.Ayo took the frothy brew without hesitation and downed it immediately.The burn made his eyes water and numbed him a bit. Good.He slid the glass towards the bartender again. “Keep it coming.”“Anything you want, boss,” the bartender said right before he gave him another glass.Ayo downed it again, and he could finally feel his racing heart slowing down. Even better.He slid the glass across again, “More,”The bartender gave him a look even as he filled up the glass again.The glass was halfway to his mouth when he heard, “Hey handsome, fancy meeting you here.”“Get lost,” he said automatically before he downed his drink again.“How rude. You are lucky that I take no offence.”“Yeah, lucky me.” Ayo thought in annoyance as he turned towards the lady who was dragging the next stool closer. “I said…”She turned to him, and

“Guess who I found drowning his sorrow in a bar, princess? Are you a sucker for punishment? Believe me, I could easily cause another scandal for you if that is what you want. You owe me. Again.”Tanya sighed as she looked at the hotel address that Vera had added to that message. She set the phone aside and looked at the light dancing through the wineglass she was twirling in her hand.“I hate this,” she thought with a sigh “I can’t believe I am feeling this way because of a man I have known for less than three months.”She set the glass aside without touching the wine she had been twirling since.She went to the window and threw the blinds aside.The stars in the sky seemed to mock her just as the mesmerising lights of the city twinkled at her from a far distance.Everything reminded her of him.Despite her better judgment, she had watched him leave the house, telling herself that she did not care where he went or what happened to him.If only it had been that simple.Everywhere she t

“Princess, what’s going on?” Meg’s alarmed tone jerked Tanya from the fitful sleep she had fallen into just shy of dawn.She opened her eyes slowly and felt Meg’s mint scent wrap around her just as her worried face showed in front of her.“What’s wrong?” Meg asked in concern.“Nothing. What? Why are you here at this time?” Tanya tried to think with her sluggish mind.“It’s past nine, princess,” Meg answered as her brows furrowed deeper with concern. “Please, get off the floor first.” Meg helped her off the floor to the couch and Tanya sat heavily as her head finally cleared enough for her to remember.“Dios mio. You have been crying? What happened?” Meg said. Then she looked towards the staircase before she lowered her voice, “Is it…your husband?”Tanya shook her head and regretted the action immediately, “He is not here,” she said through clenched teeth.“What? Why?” Meg asked in surprise.“I sent him away.”“But…”“My head is killing me. At least get me some coffee and maybe some me

Spending hours in the hotel gym had become Ayo’s routine in the past few days.He needed something to numb his mind from its raging thoughts.His body was in overdrive, and it felt like he would go crazy if he didn’t do something with it.His muscles bulged as he strained under the punishing weights that he had piled on.He could see the looks the gym attendants and the others around gave him when he kept putting on the weights.That was after he finished with kickboxing and the battle ropes.Arms burning and chest heaving, it took him a moment before he realised that the surrounding men had turned their attention elsewhere.He glanced over casually and swore as his arms turned to jelly and the weight almost smashed his toes when they dropped.“Sir, are you alright?!” the attendant asked as he hurried towards him.“Huh?!” Ayo looked blankly at the attendant’s worried face and back at his feet. “Yeah, yeah. I am fine,” he said as he waved his hands at the attendant and reached for his w

Groom For The Day Who Is The Trash Now?
"Why is he here?" Tanya felt Ayo's hand tighten on hers.She turned her head to see Martinez down the hall surrounded by his new manager and his bodyguards.She noticed that the bodyguards were fewer than he normally had.She supposed he had to keep up pretenses because she of all people knew that he could no longer afford them.He could barely afford the clothes on his back as he was so neck-deep in debt that she was sure he wouldn't finish paying for them in a decade, even if he decided to straighten up and do better.Since that didn't seem to be in the cards anytime soon, she was sure even his pretences would crumble soon enough.She saw Derek, a heavyweight champion, pointedly snubbed Martinez and walked away.When he spotted them, he turned towards their direction, but Tanya looked at her security head before turning away.She knew he wasn't going to get to her family even if he became a fly."Ignore him," she told Ayo. "Some people still believed that his old music, Gangrene, des

“It will be fine,” she told herself firmly.She had to believe it.She told her men to stay out while she looked for him.She entered the hotel and was directed to the ballroom on the second floor, sectioned off separately from the main floor.Tanya took the stairs that led to the ballroom just as someone was coming down it.“Why must I always see you everywhere I go? Isn’t it enough that you ruined my life?!” Susan’s shrill voice dampened Tanya’s mood.She wondered what she was doing here, especially coming from that part where the receptionist said it was closed off to the public for the day.Despite her curiosity, Tanya decided to ignore the bitch so she could go away with her trouble. She had something better to deal with, and she was not going to allow her to ruin it for her. She continued up the stairs expecting Susan to shut her trap if she didn’t respond.She gasped when she suddenly felt a hand pull her from behind, and she slipped backwards.“Tanya!” she heard Ayo’s voice as

“I am pregnant?” Tanya started at the doctor in shock.“Yes, princess. That explains all those feelings you’ve been having. Congratulations.”Tanya couldn’t believe it.She stared blankly at Dr. Aguilar then looked down at her stomach.Cupping it, she stood up from the bed and walked slowly towards the door.She flung it open and Christianah almost tumbled in. She had her ears plastered to the door, while Meg leaned against the railing with a worried look on her face.Meg hurried forward while Christiana steadied herself, “Well?” she asked while peering into Tanya’s pale face. “What is it? You are fine? You are fine, right?”Her worried tone made Tanya nod automatically, and then she said quietly, “I am pregnant. He said I am pregnant.”“Pregnant?! That is good news!” Meg said excitedly, then “Come, you shouldn’t be standing. You are pregnant…”Tanya didn’t believe she could squeeze laughter past the ball lodged in her chest, yet it erupted as she looked at Meg’s face. “Pregnant, not s
Groom For The Day Tanya Loves Me!
In a theatrical whisper, he said, “It is that man I saw on the TV with you. I think he is your husband? Yes, that one. Such a wicked soul,” he said with disgust on his face right before he forked some lobsters into his mouth.“There are many men with me on the TV, many have acted as my husbands before too. Which one of them are you talking about?” Tanya asked with confusion on her face.“I mean the…” he cleared his throat and drank wine to wash down the hastily chewed food. “The real one. The one you married instead of Martinez. What is that name I hear people call him? Yes, Mr. Taiwo. That one.”With surprise evident on her face, Tanya leaned forward. “Are you sure about this? You must have been mistaken. After all, it was a dark street.”“I know it as sure as I know my name, princess. I won’t lie to you. If that killer wants to lie about it, I can say this right to his face!” he said firmly.“Oh? That means you wouldn’t mind repeating this anywhere?” Tanya asked.“Of course not! Mart
Groom For The Day Who Is He?
Tanya waved the man over as she saw him enter the restaurant.She had booked the whole restaurant for the evening and was seated alone, so it was easy for him to see her.He wore a blue windbreaker jacket that seemed to have seen better days, just like his jeans and shoes. He seemed to be in his thirties.Smiling broadly, he approached her table. "Hello, princess. I can't believe I am meeting you in the flesh. This is so surreal. May I have an autograph, please?" he said excitedly."Of course, why not?" Tanya answered with a smile. "Let's get down to business first. We can do that later.""Okay, okay," he said as he scraped the chair back loudly and sat eagerly while smiling at her.Tanya disliked his shifty eyes immediately, but she held her smile as she assessed him. Her eyes went towards the man behind the counter with his face turned away before focusing on the man giving her a once-over.She was sure she had never seen him before nor knew him with Martinez, but then it was easy to
Groom For The Day He Is No Saint
She was ashamed.The better Ayo’s family treated her during their two-day visit, the more ashamed she felt about the way her mother had treated Ayo and was still treating him.The visit was meant to be a few hours' visit, but his sister had persuaded her to stay one more day.She could see that his mom loved the idea as well, so she immediately agreed.It had been the most relaxing and heart-filled visit she had ever had.Ayo’s mother did not treat her like a stranger at all. She treated her like she had known her for ages.Her care and compassion almost seemed alien to Tanya.It wasn’t that her mother wasn’t capable of love, she just couldn’t remember a time when things like her career and her standing in the family hadn’t overshadowed any bond they might have developed while spending time together.If she thought hard enough, maybe she could recall a time in her childhood when she had been allowed to just be a child or when her mother had just looked at her with love without thinking

She covered the distance between their hands and linked them together, saying, “I want to meet your family. It would be my honour to see your home.”Emotion clogged Ayo’s chest and thickened his voice as he said, “And after that?”“I want you back,” she said without hesitation.“Back? Like…?”“Forever,” she answered. “I don’t want to end this. I lied when I said this was just an arrangement. I want more.”Oh, baby. Ayo’s hands tightened on hers as his eyes swam with the blooming emotions in his heart. “I want more too, baby. I want it all. I don’t ever want to let you go. I will work hard to deserve you. I will…”She leaned forward to lay her finger on his lips, “Ssshh,” she said softly. “You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do. You are more than enough for me,” she said with glistening eyes.Ayo shot out of his chair and hauled her into his arms before he could stop himself.Enough. She believed he was enough.Apart from his family, no one had ever believed he was enough.E
Groom For The Day Do You Want To?
Excitement and anxiety warred in Ayo as he entered Avery.Avery was one of the top restaurants in Lagos with full-course international cuisines. One could request any food from Asian delicacies to oriental cuisines.The restaurant was so famous that one had to book a reservation at the restaurant at least a week before the date.Ayo had decided to try his luck that afternoon when he called. He was disappointed when he was told they were booked for the next three months.He was thinking of another place he could invite Tanya to that would be just as phenomenal when he got a call back from the restaurant.“You are in luck, sir. Someone just cancelled their reservation now. Would you like to take it?”“Yes,” Ayo said immediately.Though the reservation had taken the bulk of the money he had left, he was happy to do it for her.The security guard greeted him cordially and opened the door for him, and he stepped into the cool interior.He was surprised when he saw three attendants waiting f

“You won’t believe this!” Tanya smiled as she readjusted on the bed and asked, “I can sense it is something exciting from your voice. What is it?”“Oh my God! Excitement is the least of what I am feeling right now. I am overwhelmed.” his exuberant voice made her smile widen.Oh, she missed him. She wished she could see him right now.Even better, she wished he could be beside her at that moment. She missed him badly, but she was determined to respect his decision.“Even if it kills me,” she thought as she rolled her eyes at herself, then focused firmly on his excitement.“Do you know James Beed? I mean, what am I even talking about? Of course, you know James Beed. Mr Beed called me!”“Oh?” she prompted while grinning from ear to ear.“He called me for my book! He wants to make it into a movie! Can you believe that?! He was even talking about series, collaborations, and some other things I couldn’t really focus on. Can you believe this, Tanya? My book will be turned into a movie. I wro
