The following day, Benita arrived at L.H Group to Anthony in his office. She had simply forgotten that James had resumed working in L.H Group.

James didn't take over Lerisa's office as Anthony's secretary. He was posted to the financial team to work with them, and there he learned about Benita's affairs with Anthony.

James was disappointed to learn that Benita and Anthony were having an affair before she left. Most of the staff also didn't know why Benita left L.H Group.

Some had thought maybe Anthony did something wrong to Benita or cheated on her, but none of the staff working in the accounting office could give an account of why Benita left.

As Benita arrived at L.H Group, she hadn't thought of seeing James. She was stunned, so she quickly came up with a lie as James met her on the third floor.

"Benita, what are you doing here?" James asked. He wore a white shirt and black pants as he approached Benita.

Benita wore a cream-colored short skirt and blue top, paired with her black purs

    "Benita, you know that's not possible for me not to invite my parents if we decide to host the housewarming party. For now, I haven't informed them yet of the new house location. It's okay, when you're ready you can let me know," Anthony said. He was not happy to know that Benita was hesitant to marry him. She sat across from him and finally said, "Okay. I will be expecting your call to hear the date of the housewarming. But what car did you purchase for me?""Not to worry, when the day arrives you will see it. Or do you want me to fix the housewarming this weekend," Anthony said."No. Whenever you're ready too. I just want to see the car," Benita lied, looking hopefully at Anthony's face. He took out his phone and showed her the Range Rover Sport that he purchased for her.Benita leaped for joy and wanted to receive the car immediately. "Please, can you take me to see the car. I really do like it," Benita begged."No. Let me settle with everything first. Probably next weekend. I will

"But Lerisa is only going out with Remy and it's not like she's going somewhere else.""I know, Mother. But for Lerisa's safety. Let her go back inside and change her clothes.""No, Mother.

    Lerisa smiled and looked at Remy's face. "That will be nice," she told him. But deep in her heart, she knew that she longed to be with Anthony and not Remy."Yes, I know. So what are you saying about my marriage proposal? I gave you an engagement ring, and you rejected it. Can I come over to see your family now?" Remy took some sips from his wine glass and saw Lerisa frown."No, not yet," she said, hoping not to give away her emotions again."Why are you still delaying us from getting married? Don't you trust me?" Remy asked. He was seated on the long blue couch beside Lerisa.Looking at her cute face, Remy felt the urge to pull Lerisa close and kiss her. He had forgotten to request non-alcoholic wine, and the wine he got had a little alcohol.Lerisa was already feeling drunk. She smiled and replied, "It's not that I don't like you. I do, but..." Her words trailed off, and Remy eagerly asked her, "But what? Tell me what you need me to adjust, and I am ready to become the man that you d

Lerisa looked up at Anthony's face, bit her lower lip, and responded, "You.""Lerisa, I have told you that we cannot date. Don't you get it?" Anthony asked. However, before Lerisa could reply, Remy walked out of the house without seeing Lerisa inside the event hall.He decided to check outside for Lerisa and saw her standing before Anthony and near his car."Babe!" Remy called out to Lerisa and walked up to meet her. He spun her around to face him, not minding Anthony's presence with them. "Why didn't you inform me that you were already going home?" Remy inquired of Lerisa."I thought Anthony was leaving so I decided for him to drop me home," Lerisa said, trying to free herself from Remy's hold."Anthony can

Mr. Fred asked. "You went to Anthony's house and ended up sleeping on his bed.""Dad, I don't want Anthony and Remy to quarrel because of me.

If you say so, I will contact you tomorrow morning before going to work. Try to charge your phone, okay?" Remy said. As he looked at Lerisa's finger, where he had placed the engagement ring the previous day, he noticed that Lerisa had taken off the ring.He furrowed his brows and asked her, "Where's your engagement ring, Lerisa? Did you purposefully take it off? Where is it?"Remy suspected something fishy."I left it indoors," Lerisa tried to lie, but she wasn't good at lying as she spluttered."You left it indoors? Where? You know that you were not supposed to take this ring off. Fine, go inside and bring it, and you can wear it back. Right here in my presence," Remy insisted. He didn't know what was wrong with Lerisa. Just the previous night, he had called her, and she promised to call him b

    Mrs. Antonia frowned and accompanied James to Lerisa's room. Lerisa had cried herself to sleep on her bed. She was hungry and weak, but she didn't want to meet with anyone.

Mrs. Antonia asked again, and Lerisa, feeling hungry, woke up.Lerisa pulled the door of her room open. Her mother and James gasped as they spotted her."Since when did you return?" Mrs. Antonia was the first to ask Lerisa, who looked sad, as did James."Not too long ago. Maybe after you and Dad left for church," Lerisa replied in a sad tone."What happened? Why do you sound sad?" Mrs. Antonia inquired. Lerisa shook her head and said, "Nothing, Mom. I am hungry."As Lerisa walked out of the corridor, Mrs. Antonia saw the red marks all over Lerisa's neck.

Remy loves me too," Lerisa cried, still sitting on Anthony's bed."You will tell Remy the truth, that you cannot go ahead and marry him," Anthony replied, as he wanted to touch Lerisa's arms again, not equally satisfied with the previous night's events with her. However, Lerisa pushed his hands away."No! It's easy for you to say, but I cannot do it. I cannot face Remy. I have to go home now." Lerisa stepped down from the bed, and Anthony admired her physique.Anthony got down from the bed, fully unclothed.

The media would become aware, and it would also cause a rift in their family.Lerisa sobbed, and Anthony hugged her closely, comforting her."I am sorry," he continued to apologize, and Lerisa knew that if she had to choose between Anthony and Remy, she would pick Anthony."I don't know what to tell Remy.

    "How could you lie to me, Anthony? I have been in love with you all these years, and you lie to me that I am just like a sister to you." Lerisa was in tears, and Anthony's heart broke. He turned Lerisa to face him, but she pushed his hands off just as his hands touched her arms."Stay away from me! You cheated on me; you pretended not to be in love with me, breaking my heart further with all your lies. Yet you know the truth that we are destined to be together. Why are you denying that, Anthony? Do you feel scared that you would hurt me in the long run and feel another man deserves me?"Lerisa was in tears as she moved away from Anthony. Anthony stood speechless; he loved Lerisa, but he couldn't admit it to her. He had also felt she saw him as an older brother, and it was only recently when she confessed her feelings to him—that she had been in love with him and couldn't bear to see him with other women—that he knew he had wronged her dearly."I am sorry," Anthony said, but Lerisa move

She stared at her plate, which contained jollof rice and fried turkey legs for dinner. She eventually replied to him, "It's okay. I can manage it."Mrs. Beatrice smiled understandingly at Lerisa, not interfering; she soon blessed their meal, and they started eating.After dinner, Anthony's mother called his father, and Anthony spoke to his father for a while.Lerisa knew that she had switched off her phone to avoid her parents. She couldn't face them, so she waited for Anthony to show her to the guest room to rest.Anthony's mother was exhausted, admiring her son's house. She wanted
