Ama POV
My heart raced as I deciphered who was on the other end of the call. It was Femi.
"Yes hello?"
He chuckled.
Femi POVShe was perfect.As we watched the musical, I could see the awe on her face as she gave it her undivided attention. I on the other hand, gave her mine. I couldn't look away. If someone asked me what was happening in the play, I would have
Femi POVI stepped into Tunde's house with my duffle bag in hand. I had already gone home to change to black sweatpants and a sweatshirt. Tunde was still in the process of healing and we decided to stay with him this weekend as support. I was sure that Kola was already there and I stepped into the sitting room to find that I was right. They were seated on the ground playing FIFA."Hi guys" I called to them."Hi" they dragged in unison, their eyes still transfixed on the screen.I shook my head with a smile. They never pay attention to anything else when playing that game. I did it too sometimes. I went to my room in Tunde's house and dropped my duffel bag and came back out to meet them.Kola and Tunde were now seated on the sofas drinking whiskey and discussing about the one thing they get high off of.Girls.I plopped myself on the long sofa and they both stopped and stared at me."What?" I said."Where have you been Femi. I was calling you and your phone was switched off." Kola compl
Ama POV"Radike, Radike!!" I called out as I stepped into my house. It was awfully quiet which was odd. Saturday nights always had Radike playing loud music and dancing round the house but it was oddly serene and it didn't feel right."Raddy, where are you?" I quickly locked the door and made my way to her room. I opened the door and saw her curled up in her bed. She was asleep, so slowly and quietly moved to close the door but stopped when I heard whimpers. It sounded like she was crying. I immediately rushed and sat beside her. She was facing the wall."Raddy?" I called again to make sure I wasn't hearing things. I heard it again and this time it sounded more like a sob. I touched her."Ama" she sobbed out."Radike please sit up and tell me what's wrong" I said quietly. It broke my heart to see her cry. She was the strongest person I know and to see her like this was completely foreign to me.She sat up and the sight of her face broke my heart even further "what's wrong?""Uche came
Femi POVI felt like killing Kola.I was just about to ask Ama for a second date and the idiot interrupted our discussion. I really didn't understand his problem with me talking to Ama. As he stood in front of me, I wanted to punch his head
Ama POVFemi hovered over me, peppering kisses all over my neck and chest. My shirt was half open and he had taken of his shirt. My need for him was blinding with his incessant growling telling me that he needed me too.He claimed my mouth again i

Ama POVA week later..."How's your new workplace?." I asked Radike as we spoke on the phone. She now worked in Kola's wing and so far she always told me that she never met him.
Femi POVIt was a cold afternoon. I had turned off the air conditioner and was seated on the sofa in my office reading a magazine. I couldn't concentrate as Ama clouded my mind. Every corner of my mind was clouded by her. She was living rent free in my head. I was nervous as to what her answer was going to be. Was she going to say yes or no? I was scared that given my reputation as a world class player, she would refuse me but if there was one thing I was sure of, it was that I would never betray her or break her heart and that even if she refused me, I was going to come back harder and stronger. I needed to have her in my life, one way or another."Hi Femi"I drew in a sharp breath while I raised my head to see the female intruder. I closed my magazine and kept it aside as I saw the person who had not so politely barged into my privacy.I looked up slowly. The first thing I saw was the person's bare legs. Female,
Ama.The day had ended. I felt giddy to go home and tell Femi all that happened today. My dream was being fulfilled before my very eyes. I was living in it. I really appreciated Femi's dad for giving me this opportunity. I was very grateful.Femi texted me, telling me he was downstairs and I ran into the elevator without knowing, meeting Tola there. "Ha, hey bestie... why are you running like that?" He said with an amused look on his face."Running ke, me? Never" I said, feigning ignorance of what I just unknowingly did."It's only man that will make you that excited. Femi is here isn't he?" He said.I folded "Yes he is." I rolled my eyes "I'm just happy to finally see him that's all. He's been MIA throughout today." I said."Ahn ahn why?" Tola asked."Well he's been in a meeting and I get it you know. Today is his first day at work since the transplant so I understand. They were probably doing an organizational meeting of some sorts." I said."Okay I get it. Anyways how are you enjo
Femi.I felt so bad for not answering my fiancée. I looked and saw a text from her. “Hey, I know you’re probably busy. You wouldn’t believe what just happened. I’m so happy. Gahhhh call me when you can. Ly x” the text said.I didn’t want to dampen her own mood in any way. She seemed very happy about what was going on around her. I was still sad and emotionally downcast and I knew if I spoke to her in this mood she was going to leave everything she was doing and appear in my office. I would really appreciate her presence now but I also didn’t want to spoil her happiness. I decided to text her saying that I was going to be in a long meeting and I would come pick her up when she’s ready to go. She texted back for acknowledgement. I dropped my phone and sighed, placing my head in my hand. I seemed to be doing that a lot.In my mind, I was trying to picture how this woman could even be remotely related to me. I had to keep telling myself “my parents are dead”. Whoever this woman was, she
Femi.Today was a good day. I was very giddy while entering the office and it wasn't even about anything that I did or was going to do. I was just very glad that Ama was finally getting her flowers. It was vivid in my mind how she would always talk my ears full on how many ideas she has for the Lays project even when it was not set in stone that she was going to handle it with Kechi industries. She had so much passion for this that i knew she was going to do very well with it.As i walked into the office i was greeted by the front desk representative and before i could leave the lobby she said "There's someone here to see you sir. She said she is your mother." She said.I frowned. My mother never came here before. It was strange that she was here. "Okay where is she?" I asked. I hoped for her sake that she didn't send my 'mother' to my office."The conference room" she said. I sighed and walked in to my office first to drop my laptop and gadgets before going downstairs back to the con
Ama."So, the Lays project was actually suggested by me for business continuity. We were brainstorming for strategies to have more leverage in the manufacturing market and I came up with this. We already have a deal with Pepsi who are the primary owners of the Lays brand. It is such a big brand in the US. Now we have to latch on to the brand more to be able to keep our relationship. We already have the Quaker Oats deal because we asked them for it and that is why Quaker Oats is no longer an imported brand. Now is the time to take Lays. This will mean that Lays would be cheaper here in Nigeria and would make more sales, generating revenue for the company. We need to design the product and pitch it to Pepsi for approval and rights." I said. Once I was done with my speech, there was a roaring thunderous ovation for me. Even the HR manager who looked scornfully at me before was ecstatic. I felt good indeed."Any questions?" I said once I was done with my presentation. I had shown them a c

Ama.The meeting went from project to project until it finally got to my turn. The Lays Project. Shawn smiled when he saw it. He had texted me before today that I had to come and defend the project in front of the board. They had approved it but wanted to know if I knew what I was doing. They are very unserious because I was the one who came up with this idea so what more did they want? I however, tried to study what had already been rendered and made slides to display what I was about to say.I stood up and walked over to the front of the conference room and started my presentation. I was looking around at the faces before I started and my eyes landed on Shawn. He gave me a small smile and a nod. I felt more confident as I was feeling nervous before.
Previously...Femi."Wait I actually told the doctor to still do the test with the fetus they removed. I know it's dark sided but I don't want to be beriddled with grief that's not mine to bear. Because I think it's my fault. If I wasn't shagging some girl and actually answered the phone on time maybe they could have saved the baby you know." Tunde said."There was no way that you could have known," I said."How long till the test comes out?" Kola asked."By tomorrow." Tunde said."So calm the fuck down. If the baby is really yours then you can now cry as much as you want but I am sure that the baby isn't yours. That girl is a slimy snake." Kola said.. "As for you, I will call Dad's therapist. You need to get yourself straight after the damn drug use." Kola said."Okay. I don't want dad to know though" Tunde said."He won't know don't worry. Therapists don't snitch on their clients. Even if Dad will definitely know you're seeing the therapist, he won't know why and think it's for your
Femi.Tunde just stood there staring at us but we didn’t waver. We had to intervene. Tunde did not look good in any capacity at all.“Tunde you need to speak.” I said after a while of silence.“Why? Why do you guys think that something is wrong with me?” Tunde said while twitching, even though I doubted it before now I was sure that he was using.“God! Tunde where did you get the drugs from!” Kola yelled, he was not having it. Tunde was getting irritated now.I held Kola’s shoulder. “If you come at him like that he won’t say anything,” I said to him.I looked at Tunde, “The reason why we think you have a problem is this,” I pointed at his appearance,“You’re really insecure about your hairline but your hair is growing out, you never let that happen for anything. You didn’t even wear a cap to cover it. You’re dressed like a homeless person. Shirt not tucked in, tie loose, clothes rumpled. No suit on a Monday morning that’s very unlike you.” I said.“And let’s not forget the uncontrolla
Previously…Femi."Well after all this it seems like I have to get an executive assistant because the work is plenty. I need someone to keep track. This just means that our company is growing day by day and I am proud of everyone and the work they have put into this while I was away. Thank you so much. Speaking of our company growing, it may seem as though we have made enough money for us to raise salaries. You all have done a wonderful job. I will liaise with HR. Expect those emails." I said. Everyone cheered and I liked to see smiles on their faces. They would only be happy to work for us when they are happy with the benefits they get.Once the meeting ended we cornered Tunde in the conference room, just the three of us and I used my phone to shut off the surveillance cameras so that we could effectively speak to our nit wit brother.———-Femi.“Oya what is going on with you, quickly.” Kola said.“I don’t understand why you guys are attacking me like this” Tunde replied. I noticed h
