A/NA much better chapter for you all. XoxoPreviously Ama"So, Radike found out that Kola was trying to replace you and ran here to tell us because Femi apparently left his phone on no vibrate so she couldn't reach him. I'm a fit of rage, Femi went to talk to the doctor who gave Femi a pass to leave the hospital even without discharging him but made him swear to come back in two hours. Anyway we got to the office and sent everyone home. Instead of Kola to explain himself he started talking smack so Femi lunged at him. I held him back before he could do anything but he was very livid. Long story short, when he heard that you were awake and we wanted to leave, we saw a blood patch on his shirt and saw the the stitches ripped." He said.I sighed. I was worried for Femi. I wondered what Kola had said to make him forget that he was a convalescent."Sucks for him. I just wish he had gotten a punch in. All this one is for nothing now." Radike said. I chuckled. He hate for Kola ran deep."Y
Previously..."Wait before you go, remember this... Femi is grown now and can make his own decisions. Please let him do him and don't try to project on him. I'm begging you." I plead. Hoping he would listen."Okay I've heard you." He said nonchalantly."So truce?" He said and held out his hand.I took it and replied "truce"———Ama.Tunde came in the room a few minutes after Kola left to tell me that Femi was awake. I was gutted that I couldn't go and see him because the doctor wouldn't let me out."I really wish I could go see Femi." I told my brother who was currently with me in the room along with Radike."Yeah I know it's hurtful. But you just have to wait a little so he will regain his strength." He said.Radike scoffed "Knowing how Femi is he's getting himself in a wheelchair and coming here like the stubborn goat that he is. That's what he did when he woke up from the surgery." "I hope he comes even though it's not good for him. I'm selfish like that." I saidI really meant it
Previously...Ama.I sat up with no ease at all, but I was pretty good with pretending. I didn't want it to seem like I was down bad again and eligible to be locked in the room for another week. My siblings were that annoying."I understand. You can stop acting all buff now. I won't lock you up for now. Just go see her first man." Tunde said laughing at me while I was limping to the door.I had passed out in the car and was brought here for the doctor to stitch back up. When I woke up, Kola was pissed and told me that I should care more for my health. I knew what he wanted to say that I cared for Ama more than I cared for myself. I would have tried to smack him if he said shit like that.I was excited to see the love of my life finally awake. It was all I ever wanted. I just hoped she was getting better and the doctor wouldn't come to me with some bs.———Present...I opened the door to Ama's room. The first people I saw were Radike and Matthew. Immediately they saw me they stood up a
Previously…"I've been hearing all your gossips here, haha. You think I don't know all you've been saying here?" She said and folded her arms.She looked serious. I thought back. I didn't even say anything wrong in regards to her. "But I didn't say anything wrong about you. You know I wouldn't do that." I explained, hoping she was teasing me.Once I was done explaining, she loosened up and laughed. "I'm just teasing you. It's not that deep."I rolled my eyes on the outside but on the inside I wanted to breathe a sigh of relief. How did she even know what we were saying."How did you even know what we were saying here or was that a joke too?" I asked her.She shook her head "Nope, that one is true. I was aware of what was going on around me I fear. But it was like echoes in my head. Took a while before I could figure out that I was hearing you guys speaking. Anyways how's your wound now?" She asked me. She was really selfless because it was her that was supposed to give the low down o
Previously...FemiShe laughed too "I'm just shooting fire for fire now,"I chuckled again and pulled her to my chest "you have no idea how much I missed you." "I missed you too baby cakes" she said from within my chest.In this moment, I was fulfilled.——-Ama.I was glad to have seen Femi again. I was getting bothered and anxious as to why he hadn't come in yet. I thought the rip caused something else and made him bed ridden again. I was already discussing with my brother and Radike what the way forward was. If I could get in a wheel chair and go to his ward since I couldn't walk. They were talking about how the doctor would be pissed if we did that without his knowledge and pointed out the cctv cameras in the hallway. I was feeling defeated already before my door opened and Femi walked in.It was as though he saw me and froze. Radike looked at me and smiled and mouthed "I told you so" she said and stood up and left along with my brother. The door was shut behind them and Femi cam
Previously…Ama.I understood that but I also understood that Kola really loved Femi and that was the main reason why I presented that as my argument."Hey listen. Kola loves you, probably more than anybody in the world. My dear, I put it to him that something bad almost happened to you today because of our useless fight. So I'm sure he will behave from now on." I said.Femi took some time to think before replying "I think you're right. But we'll have to see.""Yeah." I said. Femi proceeded to wrap his hand around me. I did as well. We were savoring each other."I missed you." I said. "Me too," he said back.The door opened after some time and we looked up to see who it was.It was the doctor.I became scared as my heart started beating really fast. I hoped genuinely that he had good news for me. I was scared he would tell me that my time would soon be up.I didn't want Femi's efforts to go to waste. He would be devastated because he literally stuck his neck out for me."Good evening

I didn't need this right now."Doctor if this isn't good.." I said in a threatening tone. I was fed up with the rubbish.Ama u
Previously…Femi."Are you certain doctor?" I asked him again. I didn't want more bad news later or him not telling us stuff."Yes and before you ask sir, no, I'm not hiding anything." The doctor said and smiled.I chuckled "Getting witty there are you?" I said.The doctor smiled wider "Congratulations miss Ama." He said and left.Ama had tears in her eyes when I turned my attention to her. She was finally free of all this rubbish. It had been a turbulent experience for the both of us but we had pulled through."It's over?" She asked while tears fell from her eyes."It's over babe. You did it." I said and brought her into my side."Oh my God... we did it babe. We did it." She said and cried more into my shoulder.We laid down for a bit. I let her marinate in the news she just heard for a while until she fell asleep. I knew how much of a rollercoaster it must have been for her in this situation. She's been in pain for so long. I was sure that at some point she felt her life slipping aw
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
