“Ready?” Nelson asked Amelia.

“Yes I am” She replied.

“Remember, you’re not just my assistant, you’re my woman, because you’d meet Eva in there and a couple of other ladies whom I have gone on dates with, but don’t feel bad or jealous, just be yourself” Nelson said as he led her into the hall.

    Nelson could not sleep all through the night. He wished the dinner date didn’t turn out to be a disaster. Initially, he had planned not only to confess his feelings but to also ask Amelia to be his woman officially, but looks like fate was determined to make his love life a little fuzzy before giving him a clear path to trend upon. Amidst all of these thoughts, he turned to face the bed side clock on his bed side table to check the time and saw that it was already six am in the morning, so he got out of his bed and walked into his bathroom to take his bath and prepare for work. As at six-forty, he was ready and set to go to work, so he climbed down the stairs and dragged himself to the door before he heard his mum call out to him.“Hey son, why are you going to work this early? Won’t you wait to have breakfast?”“Oh hey mum, didn’t see you there. I’m in no mood to have breakfast this morning so I’d rather just go to work” He replied.“Why?

And this time, it is either she gets back together with me or I destroy everything she holds dear in her life and take down those who try to stand in my way” He concluded.Ever since he got out of prison a year ago it’s been very hard for him to go back to his job or even find another job.

He got in and took a hot shower before going to sleep, having nothing but the thoughts of Amelia on his mind. Getting up very early in the morning, Nelson decided to go to the gym before preparing for work. He spent forty minutes in the gym and when he began to feel a strain in his arm after carrying the heaviest weight trying to level up his arm muscles, he decided to go take a shower and prepare for work.
