2024-10-29 19:42:56Femi POV
It 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,

Third Person POVThey stood in silence, both of them lost deep in thought, while Ama's back was turned and Femi held on for dear life. He was scared that if he loosened his grip she would disappear without a trace. He couldn't let that happen.Femi was adamant. He was never going to let go of her. Often times he tried to comprehend the spark he felt for her. He always tried to figure out what drew him to her. He couldn't tell if it was her ambitious nature, her love for art, her love for the simple life, her absolute focus, her unnatural brilliance or her goddess like beauty.He didn't understand, but he knew that over time he would, but he will do everything to keep her by his side till then. He loved her and he knew it and the thought of losing her drove him mad. He couldn't bear to think about.Ama was utterly perplexed. The situation was hard to decide. She knew she fel

AmaEven though rain was pouring outside, I felt very hot for some reason. I had a restlessness in my bones as I laid down in my room thinking so hard of all that happened today.The day was packed full of debacles. First it was me prancing stupidly to Femi's office to actually agree to his proposal for a 'serious relationship' only for me to get there and his ex was straddling him wearing a lingerie. What the hell was I thinking? I was beating myself up so hard for even considering that things would get serious between Femi and I. There was no way that could happen because he was used to this life. He was a socialite not because of his genuine accomplishments but because of his body count and the fact that he was hot cake for these Lagos girls. Ugh! I was so stupid!Then there was Kola. The devil of the trio. He really went in, throwing Femi who was supposed to be his friend under the bus like it was nothing. He also pa

Ama.I got in late for work the next day. As much as I wanted to convince myself that I wasn't bothered about Femi or his demon brothers, it seemed as though I actually was. I was so down that I almost called in sick. I didn't have the will to get up from bed and my stomach had such an uncomfortable feeling that I wanted to puke all over myself.Goosebumps took over my entire body as I entered my office space to see my boss, Mr Shawn Ikechi leaning over my table with a stern look in his eyes and a very dark expression."Good morning sir" I said with a small voice, looking him in the eye. One thing my boss hated was being timid so even though I desperately didn't want to meet his eye, I just had to in order not to anger him more."What is good about the fucking morning Amarachi?!" He snapped. His words made me gasp. We never used swear words in the office environment."Sir, I'm so

Previously....Zara.My heart began racing in shock, what did he mean? "Sir, you said the next two weeks? Why?""Amarachi I've been watching you. I have CCTV in your office remember?" He said and pointed at the tv screen mounted in his office which showed all the areas in and around this office, including my office. "Look I know something is bothering you. You've been absentminded, rubbing your face exasperatedly and acting aloof all day. Sometimes you zone out and ask me to repeat myself which has never happened, ever. I'm concerned. So you're taking two weeks off" I gasped. He took twenty percent of my salary and still gave me two weeks of an obviously unpaid leave."Hey, don't worry I'm not heartless. It's a paid leave. I can't take twenty percent and still give you an unpaid leave. Come on now, anyways I have spoken with HR. Just go and clear your head. I'll send you some money to just have fun and spend on fr

Previously...Femi"What do you want Kola?" I growled out.Kola who was wearing a half open shirt with Cuban links and a pair of black jeans chuckled at me while standing akimbo. I groaned again."Well first off, you're a pathetic piece of shit. I just wanted to see if you're even alive at all since you haven't been to the office in days and you're not answering you're phone. I'm sha happy you didn't drink poison or something." Kola said while smiling. It was a normal thing for Kola to make fun of me when I was sad."Fuck off Kola" I said back and rubbed my temples. My head was hurting thanks to all the alcohol I'd been taking."And all this is because of Ama. The greatest Yoruba Demon in the world has been crippled by a mere assistant? That would make a good Instablog headline." Kola said and laughed at his dry jokes.I impulsively threw my shirt at h

Ama.On Friday nights, it was typical for a club to be very crowded and bustling with a lot of people. I thanked God that I was not claustrophobic because the amount of people in the club at 10pm could give one a heart attack.Radike and I navigated through the crowd and the loud music and got to the bar. I needed a lot of alcohol in my system to be able to handle this mess that was Quilox."Well take two long islands please." Radike told the bartender.I waved my hand towards the man "can I have a glass of whiskey neat, first while you're doing that." I screamed over the loud music.Swiftly, the waiter poured me a glass of whiskey and passed it to me before he went over to make our Long Island. I picked it up and took a sip which burned my throat a little and I caught Radike giving

Ama.I went as fast as my poor legs could carry me down the road. I had absolutely no clue where I was going but the panic and fear that I felt made me continue walking.I finally saw a small road to the left and took it only to be met with a deserted and quiet walk way. Unfortunately, I was still followed by this person. I had no clue who it was and it was killing me. Was it a thief, a cultist, a kidnapper."Ama would you stop?" A very familiar male voice which I dreaded suddenly spoke from behind me. I gasped and made a sharp turn around.It was him, my ex boyfriend who used me to better his life and proceeded to treat me like shit. The emotional and verbal abuse inflicted on me by this man came rushing back to me like an avalanche."What do you want from me Chike?" I said with a trembling tone. I was so scared of him. Why would he follow me to this lonely place in the middle o

Chike asked."Yeah she's an assistant" Tunde said and they began laughing.I got irritated about how they were talking about Ama "Hey hey hey hey I told you guys to stop talking about her in a derogatory manner." I snapped which made them stop laughing."Wow you must really like her if you're reacting like that man." Chike said in surprise."He does which shocks me to no end. He's the more ruthless one amongst us" Tunde said."How the mighty have fallen" Chike joked and the others laughed along with him.I wasn't finding any of this funny so I took all my drink in one gulp and stared outside the VIP towards

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?"

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.
