Martha saw the engagement ring photo and immediately phoned her older sister.

"Hello, big sister! Congratulations to you!" Martha was so excited, as she was in her school hostel.

"Thanks, baby sis. I appreciate," Lerisa smiled. She knew Martha would call.

"I'm so happy for you. When is your wedding date? And who proposed to you?" Martha inquired.

"Who else? Remy, of course," Lerisa replied, and Martha laughed, not wanting to raise the topic about Anthony again.

"That's good news. I will be back home next month end, please shift the wedding date until I'm back. I don't want to miss it," Martha said.

"I know. Remy said we shouldn't rush the wedding process. I haven't chosen my wedding gown yet, so I will let him know," Lerisa replied.

"Okay, sister. Wow! I'm so happy! I cannot wait to become a big Aunty soon," Martha squealed.

"Be calming down. You will soon become an aunt," Lerisa smiled, and Martha wished her all the good luck that comes with becoming married.

She couldn't believe what her mother had said about her and Anthony being soulmates.“How is Anthony my soulmate?” Lerisa wondered in her mind."Here's your tea," Mrs. Antonia said as she stepped out from the kitchen and served Lerisa her tea."Thanks Mom, has James left the house?" Lerisa asked, as she heard the sound of her father's car starting in the garage."Yes, James left the house earlier, and your dad is going out to meet with a real estate agent.

His father is a billionaire, which is the reason he's well-established at a younger age.Remy smiled and went back to his other work. He knew Lerisa was a shy lady, so he didn't bother calling her over to his office. He decided to give her time and for them to see later, maybe after closing hour.

Lerisa exclaimed. She jumped up with joy and hugged Remy tightly. "Are you serious? Is this really for me?"She looked so excited. Remy replied, "Yes. You can check out the vehicle. If you don't like it, I can get another model asap.""Oh my goodness! I love it, Remy. Thank you," Lerisa leaned forward and kissed Remy lightly on his left cheek. Remy smiled; however, he knows Lerisa is shy, so he wasn't demanding much from her. He gave her the car key, and Lerisa walked up to her new car to examine it."My goodness! It's lovely," Lerisa toured the white Land Cruiser SUV that Remy acquired for her. She felt so emotional, and she went back to kneel in front of Remy and thanked him in their cultural way."No, baby.

    "Oh my God! MOM! They're here," Lerisa was nervous as she knew the multiple cars arriving at her father's house were Remy and his uncles. "Yes. Calm down. Let me go and attend to them. I will send for you," Mrs. Antonia said. She turned and exited her daughter's room. Mrs. Antonia hadn't taken her bath, so she rushed into her room for a quick bath. She put on traditional clothes and applied a little makeup to her face. She stepped out wearing an orange top with a brown wrapper wrapped around her waist. She paired it with black shoes and applied makeup to her face, along with a little red lipstick. Remy got out of his car and looked around Lerisa's family home.

Lerisa is inside; let me call her for you." James quickly went back into the house to summon Lerisa. He couldn't ask Mrs. Beatrice why she wanted to see Lerisa. It was not like Mrs. Beatrice was a stranger, so he went into the living room and saw Lerisa and their mother."Lerisa, come first," James said, not wanting to tell Lerisa that Anthony's mother was looking for her outside the gate."Why are you calling Lerisa, James? What do you want to say to your sister?" Mrs. Antonia, who looked happy and excited, queried James."Mom, It's nothin

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. They're brothers and...""You should have been aware that they were brothers and not comfortably slept with Anthony unclothed on his bed. I don't want to discuss this matter again.

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. She had also switched off her phone."Lerisa!" With a gentle knock on her daughter's room door, Mrs. Antonia called Lerisa. "Lerisa, are you in there?" 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. She inquired, "Wait, Lerisa. What happened to you? Who beat you?"Mrs. Antonia rushed to examine her daughter's ne

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.

    Anthony stood up from the tiled floor. He knew that it wasn't just him and Lerisa alone.

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. I don't want to see you both fight because of me," Lerisa said as she turned her back to Anthony's chest.Anthony kissed Lerisa on the neck; he could no longer hold himself back.

    "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.
