"No mom, it’s one of the new students,” he responded, and tried to veer his mother's attention away from the topic. Now, he picked a slice of fruit from the saucer, and threw it into his mouth. However, his tricks did not work. His mother continued, “At first, it was your coach; now it’s a new student. Which will I take?” Now she looked at him keenly, and waited for his response. When he hesitated, she ignored him, and went straight to her mission.“Anyway, that is not why I am here. I told you earlier on that I was expecting a visitor, and would like you to meet her. When will it be convenient for you to meet her?”Now, George was aware of what she was up to. Instantly, he got up to leave. Then, his mother asked, “Where do you think you are going, George?”“I want to use the convenience,” he lied, and walked towards the convenience. Then, his mother got up at once, and declared, “Give me your response when you are ready,” before she walked out of his room. Now, George was happy that

"No, the woman chose her for her beloved son.”“Oh! The woman must be a caring, and loving mother for choosing such a rare gem for her son.”“I think so.”“In that case, I will propose that you let her be. As you can, she is a disciplined, and an honest person, every man’s dream. You will meet your dream woman one day. I pray she will be like her.”“Thank you for your encouragement. I pray so, too.”A Few Days Later.Now, with the absence of Rose in George's life, and the pestering from his mother to accept a blind date, he resolved to fill the vacuum that Rose had created in his life. To ensure that his mother would not impose any girl on him, he picked a girl for himself at once. To Sarah, and Benson's surprise, he got back from work that day very excited. Then, he announced with glee, “Ya eh! I have good news for you all.”Now, Mrs. Owens and Benson looked at him instantly, and requested one after the other, “Wow! Share it.” “Yes. Let's hear it.”Now, George looked at Benson, a

"I will. Thank you for your concern, aunty. I appreciate.”“It is all right.”Now, George was a bit relieved from his emotional stress. “If only mom would stop disturbing me with the issue of choosing a wife for me, and allow me to worry about losing Rose, and develop enough love for Sophia, my problem would have been minimal,” he pointed out. Then, he braced up, and began to prepare for the management meeting. When he got stuck, he would call on his father for clarification. Before the meeting, he walked to the General Manager's Office for harmonization of their agenda. However, the GM saw that as a great honor for coming to his office instead of sending for him.“Thank you, AGMD. I'm honored to have you,” the General Manager appreciated.“Think nothing about it, GM. I am well guided with your input,” he responded.When it was time for the management meeting, with the call from his aunt, and the General Manager by his side, he had a successful meeting. His father, who monitored the m

Thereafter, he walked out briskly, and returned with some clothes in his hands, and a briefcase. Nevertheless, George showed worries, and he explained at once, “Mommy said I will be sharing your room with you for the moment. It is like she is around. How can she just displace me?” He asked angrily, and attempted to drop the clothes in the wardrobe. “I will be ruthless with her. She would regret ever meeting me,” Benson concluded with visible anger. Now, George was weak, and could not think of what to do. To steady himself, he left the window, and walked back to the couch. Then, he simply asked the overzealous Benson, “Who will you be ruthless with?”Likewise, Benson, who thought that he was protecting his big brother from a forced marriage, was surprised at his question. He locked eyes with him, and inquired, “What?” PrologueAt Rose's HouseNow, Mrs. Owens had assured Rose that all was set for her to meet with her son, and she was expectant. Meanwhile, she could not wait for th
MARRIED TO THE CONFUSED BILLIONAIRE 11. The Challenges and George's Fears
Sarah's Perspective. Seven Years Ago,Some women picked the wrong men out of many. I have heard women complain of a whoring husband, but I always counted myself an exception. My husband, can be best described as every woman’s dream. He is handsome looking – well-built, intelligent and smart. Besides, he is a man of his words. Furthermore, he attached so much love and interest to his family because he was out to ensure that he distinguished himself from his father. He grew up with a father who was a polygamist and an irresponsible one, who was also known as a wife beater with many legitimate and illegitimate concubines. Fortunately, none of my husband's siblings took after their father, except the step siblings. When he asked for my hand in marriage, my mother was afraid, judging from his background. But today, he had proved everyone wrong by living beyond their expectations.As a policy, he hardly kept late night except of recent, and I was surprised at his sudden change of attitude.

The VisitNow, I hastily walked back to the kitchen to check the food without waiting for a response.However, he stood there confused as he watched me walk back to the kitchen. 'Why would she bother to reheat the food under this circumstance? The food got cold as a result of my returning late. Yet, she took the pain to do that.'He thought to himself. Meanwhile, the food was his favorite. Potatoes from Jos, Plateau State, North Central of Nigeria, which most Nigerians preferred to call Irish Potatoes. As for my husband, it was Jos Potatoes or, better still, Berom Potatoes. His first encounter with it was when his uncle, who lived in Jos, brought it to the village. The uncle was fondly called 'Uncle Jos' and as such the potato was named after him.If only he knew the pains I took to get that, as it was not the season and not even sold in the neighborhood. In my opinion, no matter the situation, he needed to eat because he might be starving and would not joke with his precious 'Jo

'Do I deserve to be sacked? Do my friends and colleagues agree with the management that I deserved what I got?'He asked himself.Evans had been in that organization for twenty-nine years and had contributed immensely to its growth and development. I remembered the days of our courtship when he always failed to keep his appointment with me because of his work. My husband was a thorough person who hardly jokes about anything he did, and he also applied the same tenacity with his love and family life.Then, he walked back to the living room and sat before the television again. Within two weeks, he had experienced unimaginable things. Losing his job and hitting his wife. Then, I wondered what could be going on in his mind. These were the character traits that made him to dislike his father. 'Was he gradually taking after his father?'I thought as I watched him from the kitchen. Now, the children and I were having a good time without him. Though, I was feeling the heat because I had mi

They all greeted simultaneously, while George and Lilian gave her a hug one after the other. Now, her presence always reminded them that they had native names because she addressed them by that. These names had event connotations. George's name is 'Odera; Odego' – Which means, once it is written by God that something must take place it had been written, nothing changes it.While Lilian is 'Omere ebele'. Ebele for short. It means the child who showed mercy.I was billed for a Cesarean Section while I was in labor due to some complications, but before the surgeon arrived she came forth. Likewise, My husband, who stood aside with a discontented smile on his face while grandma and the grandchildren exchanged pleasantries, looked at me for a clue. “My in-law.” Mama called as soon as she had the opportunity to look at my husband. “Yes, Mama.” He replied with a concealed anxiety. Then, the children left for their room, leaving us alone. “My daughter had informed me of what happened.
