CHAPTER ELEVEN (The Visit)

Helen I sat on my bed with my knees curled to my chest and my two hands on my cheeks, reminiscing on the call I just received from the doctor. I couldn't believe what I had just heard. Was it a crime that I didn't have enough money to pay for my mother's medical needs? The news he had called with was a different ball game from what I had hoped for when I went visiting earlier in the day. He'd called to inform me about the slight change in my mum's hospital accommodation. Earlier today, when I went to the hospital, I was so excited that he’d said she is in a good condition and getting ready for the surgery, that all I had to clear was the outstanding bill before he proceeded, and I wanted a little time to gather some money. According to him, there was no cause for alarm, and I couldn't have been happier to receive that news. At least, one of the worries on my mind was out. I had a lot of burden on me, but the stress of also knowing that my mother was critically ill weighed down on

CHAPTER TWELVE (The Visit Cont...)

“Open the door, Helen.” a familiar voice I had come to dread fearfully echoed behind the closed door. “Just a minute granny” I said in a tired tone. Just as I suspected, my old landlady has probably come to remind me of the house rent that was due. I had been behind on payment, and she probably got tired of waiting for me to fix myself up. Maybe, she had come with her eviction notice. I braced myself for whatever she had come for, as I couldn't have had a worse day. The old lady has done enough to let me stay for two extra months for free in her house after my last rent expired, which is the only source of her livelihood. As much as i was afraid to look her in the face and inform her that i don’t have her money yet, i also had no choice than to let her know. At least, this was going to help her make her decision. She could decide if she wanted to have me ejected out of her house or decide to keep me till I would be able to sort her out. I shrugged at this thought and shuffled list

CHAPTER THIRTEEN (The Visit Cont…)

I wasn't expecting to hear that voice I heard speak those words he just spoke. I've always seen him as one who never cared about what the other party was feeling, as long as he got what he wanted.I knew that was very peculiar to businessmen who were successful in their various fields. They only identify where their aims and objectives are and begin to push in the direction without stopping until they've achieved the desired results.Since I already had his audience, it was better I turned and faced him, so we could get to business, although I shouldn't appear too eager in order not to shoot myself in the foot.Appearing too desperate may ruin the little chances I have to redeem my image before him in the future, and I wouldn't jeopardize the chance I have now.I offered a quick prayer and turned around to behold the face which had come to my rescue.I could see the car door was opening and a sleek shoe which probably cost more than all the money I had spent in my entire life peeked o

CHAPTER FOURTEEN (Three days to sign)  

Lucas opened it and took a minute to run his eyes over the document in the file before he snapped it shut. “This is a deal you have to sign concerning the marriage i mentioned earlier to you, it includes in detail all the cash and incentives you will receive as my wife. ” he pushed it out to me with a look that showed he wanted to be done with this and get back to business. That was the problem with him. He was always in a rush. He usually does things like he was being forced and right now, he was acting like he wouldn't be here if he had a choice. Well, he really didn't have a choice if he was coming to me for marriage. Insure, he had already weighed the pros and cons of the matter, and I'm sure it was going to be beneficial to him in one way or the other. Successful businessmen like him wouldn't cut or make deals that wouldn't favor them. They went into a deal rest assured that their interests were protected, hence, the need for the document he was offering to me. I was reluctan

CHAPTER FIFTEEN (Buzz in Boutique)  

LucasI took one last look at the girl, who stood transfixed and hadn't moved an inch from where she stood since I made my intention for coming known to her.She was like something within my grasp and yet it eludes me. I furrowed my brows trying to explain the feeling to myself, but there was no other way to explain it.She was like a deal I wanted badly due to the benefits I would get from it, and yet I wanted more than nothing to be associated with it. I glanced sideways at Phillip and could see that he was also engrossed in a world of his own.My thoughts traveled back to the girl who was still standing transfixed on a spot. Her guts annoyed me most, and on the other hand, it surprises me. With my experience in handling desperate people, I have never seen any that would hesitate to sign a 7-figure deal, requesting it goes by her terms.She didn't even take a moment to spare a glance at the document with her, unlike some of the others who wouldn't hesitate to append their signatures

CHAPTER SIXTEEN (Buzz in Boutique Cont…)

I smiled at this thought, but then I frowned at my face, knowing she was taking more time than I was willing to give her. All I wanted her to do was to sign the damn document and save me from the embarrassment that the board of directors and my counterpart could bring to my family. Most of the directors were really expecting me to fail in finding a wife, as they were actually in support of the other person who was trying to contend for the position of CEO with me. They must have felt that since he was married, he was more responsible than I was and deserved to be the CEO irrespective of competence and character. My thoughts made me look sideways, and I could see that Phillip was lost in another world of his own. I hadn't heard him speak to me since we left Helen's place and was curious about what could be wrong when I saw that he was also immersed in his own thoughts. One thing that ever ceases to amuse me about Phillip was how he would appear to be faraway in his thoughts for a mom

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN  (Buzz in the Boutique)

All the mean words in my mouth left me, that was exactly what I would have done. I wanted nothing more than to make sure the tongue he uses in defaming me hangs loosely by the side of his mouth or, better still, it should be cut off, so he wouldn't have the opportunity of going after another person. I chuckled inwardly to myself as this thought filtered into my head, but I had to keep a stern face at the man running his loose mouth, standing before me. I could see that my bodyguard and Phillip had already gotten into a defensive mode and had their guns clicked, ready to fire at any slight provocation from any of the Williams family. I didn't doubt what they could do at the moment, but we were in a shopping mall and the fight could get nasty which would probably affect others who had no business with it, so I have to be diplomatic about this. Buzz was an airhead who didn't care what happened as long as he got the upper hand, but I wasn't brought up to be a simp, but to be sensib

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN (Film Festival)

Throughout the drive to Houston, the thoughts of the previous event were all over my mind. Instead of getting angry, I made a firm resolve in finding a way to end Buzz madness once and for all. Buzz may be a clown, but he’s no fool, he knows how to pursue what he wants and will always try with all effort to get what he wants. Especially now that his father has fueled all his actions. His father never rebuked his attitude and actions, he’s even supporting him with his special forces to help him fight for the position. No wonder Buzz's father, Marcus Williams, had insisted right from the time, that Buzz should attend a different business and martial arts school like me. It's obvious that he doesn’t want the CEO position to leave his family. But Buzz as a clown who lacks interest in school had refused, with the conviction that to be a good CEO, plenty of education isn’t required. This revelation made me remember what had happened at one business school we had both attended one summer

CHAPTER NINETEEN (Meet Catherine)

CHAPTER NINETEEN(Meet Catherine)When he noticed that my eyes were barely looking at him, she shook my hand gently twice, and it sent a signal to me that I have traveled too far. I arranged myself instantly and smiled a bit.Mr. Dowell, this is my daughter Catherine, she just came back from Sweden. She’s a model and manages one of my modeling agencies in Sweden.” Mr. Adam said, pointing at the lady. “Nice to meet you Catherine, you have a beautiful smile” i tried to be as polite as possible while reaching out for a handshake.“It’s my pleasure, Mr. Lucas. Your dad has told me a lot about you, and I am looking forward to knowing you more” she took my hand.I sat down and wink at my father, signalling to him that I have little time to spend. Like he knew already, he glanced at his time and nodded in response.“I know you have limited time, Lucas, so do i, but when my friend Adam told me that his festival is here i had to grace it myself at least that how to pay back a good friend lik

CHAPTER TWENTY (Fixed date gone wrong)

With the way Catherine was fawning over me, I couldn't help but think she would probably act the same way. I couldn't take any chances. I also had my own share of the problems that came with dating gold diggers. It was while I was in college, that time I was still vibrant and sexually active. Thanks to this tedious job that has made me the oppo Although, I didn't act like I was from a rich home, somehow the news filtered out about who I was and then all the ladies had their attention on me. I tried my best in evading them until I met Keisha. Keisha, who was shy and usually kept to herself. At first, I wanted to introduce myself to her as an average guy, but I decided against it since my family background was well known. I would not want her to feel like I lied to be with her. Since I could afford to, I got her gifts. I mean, real expensive ones. Most times, I would take her to places which she had never dreamed of getting to in her life. We continued dating, with her acting all lov
