Ryan looked great in his white body con Tee and his slightly ripped denim with a white sneakers to match, he was exceptionally handsome. Chimamanda couldn't help but admire the handsome creature before her although she was still feeling nervous and shy but she brushed it off.
"Good evening mi lady" Ryan says as he took Chimamanda's hands into his and kissed it. "You look ravishing and Elegant Darling" Chimamanda blush Scarlett as he complimented her.
She muttered a thanks "you don't look bad yourself" she added, "you know he looks more than what you just told him" her subconscious queried her. She wanted to say more to him but she didn't want to sound cheesy or awkward.
She quickly tells her sisters good bye and entered the Range Rover sport Car door that was opened for her to enter by Ryan.
"Um I was thinking if we could go to my house" Ryan said nervously, scratching the back of his head waiting anxiously for her to say something, he searched her eyes expecting an answer
Chimamanda was stound, too speechless, she wanted to say something but her voice was nowhere to be found.
Ryan sensed her hesitation, "it's okay if you don't want us to go to my house we could just go to any restaurant of your choice" "No, it's okay, I mean I would love to go to your house" Chimamanda finally voiced out.
"Are you sure?" Ryan probed looking at her with concern. "Yeah"she replied with a smile. "Okay" he grinned and stepped on the acceleration
The drive to Ryan's house was silent except the music that was playing from the Car stereo, they nodded in rhythm to
He pulled over at a big building, Ryan opened the door for Chimamanda before she could reach for it. "Thank you" she appreciated. it's not every time, a guy gets to open the door for a lady her subconsciousnes reminded her. She could feel butterflies in her stomach, her heart was fluttering.
He held her hand as they walked into the house, he tossed his keys to a staff to park the car properly before they entered the house.
The house interiors were speaking wealth and ostentation. The floor was made with shiny white tiles with beautiful designs on it. The colour theme is that of a typical bachelor gray and white. "Welcome to my house" he announced with a hint of pride in his voice.
He led her to a massive dinning room. He pulled out a chair for her to sit, he took a sit at the head of the table close to Chimamanda's, a butler dressed in complimentary black and white attire made his way to the table carrying a bottle of wine.
Chimamanda was surprised when she saw her father's company trademark 'larvish'. She glanced at Ryan's direction with a small smile.
He chuckled "yeah I know you are surprised but I'm a fan of your father's company wine infact they are my favourites"
"Wow, thank you for choosing larvish we won't disappoint you" Chimamanda grinned
The conversation was put on hold when the maids brought in the food setting it in front of them.
Chimamanda scanned the food, her mouth began to water, the aroma from the food made her stomach to growl. "Seems like someone is hungry and can't wait to eat this food" Ryan quipped. Chimamanda felt a little bit embarrassed "sorry forgive my manners I love good food and I don't seem to control myself if one is placed in front of me" "let's eat then so your stomach won't get upset"
Chimamanda took in the first bite, it felt good she couldn't help but moan "this is delicious" she said out loud.
"Thanks, my chef always prepare the best" Ryan smirked smugly.
After the meal he led her to the living room and they started a conversation. She found out Ryan is a calm, shy, organized, intelligent and a cheerful person.
He told her he had not loved nor seriously dated anyone. He also told her that he liked her, when he said that Chimamanda blushed Scarlett but quickly hid her face so he won't see her. He said he has a male best friend who's name is Obadare, Dare for short. Chimamanda told him she didn't have a best friend but Chidinma is more like a bestie to her, she told him she had dated a lot of guys.
They both shared similarities like touring, trying out new things, Ph.D in business administration and Masters in political science, they talked about political happenings in the country. They talked about their first degrees Chimamanda told him her's is law while he told her he's is business administration.
They were both U.S citizens, Chimamanda told him about her maternal family who are natives of Atlanta Georgia in the U.S, she talked about her grand ma who gave her and her sisters their middle names and would always nag them to visit her in the U.S everytime. They kept on talking about so many things till Chimamanda got tired and wanted to go home. He asked her on another date which she agreed to. As they were about to head out he called a maid to carry out the drinks on the side table.
Chimamanda was standing up from the couch when she felt a cold sensation on her dress, she looked down and saw the clumsy maid that poured the drink on her dress.
The maid gasped noticing the gravity of what she did "I'm sorry ma'am" she apologized sincerely, she tried to clean off the damage off Chimamanda's dress but it pissed Chimamanda who rewarded her with a heavy slap across her face and another one, the impact of the slap made the maid to fall down and start crying holding her cheeks and soothing the stinging pain it caused her.
"Ryan where is your guest bathroom" Chimamanda barked. Ryan was shocked to say a word, he pointed a door. Chimamanda was too pissed to give a fuck about what Ryan thought of her at this moment. She walked to the directions of the door, she cleans the mess with water from the toilet sink.
"We can go now" she told Ryan immediately she came out of the guest bathroom. She heads to the door without waiting for Ryan.
"Wait" Ryan said but it came out like a plea. Chimamanda stops in her tracks "you fucked up he's definitely going to scold you for what you did" her mind chided her.
"I know you want to scold me for what I did but she pissed me and I couldn't take it" Chimamanda blurts out. She was taken aback by what Ryan said "I'm sorry that she spilled the drink on your pretty dress, I'll buy a new dress for you, but you wouldn't have stressed yourself by hitting her, a pretty lady like you shouldn't stress yourself on matters like this instead control your anger"
His voice sent shivers to her soul and calms her down "I'm sorry I slapped her I'll try to control my anger next time, don't bother about my dress there is no need to get another one" Chimamanda replied, remorse and sincerity laced in her voice, the words flowed out before she could stop it, surprising both Ryan and herself. Alright let's get you home Ryan beamed.
"Good night princess" Ryan said as Chimamanda stepped out of his car. "Good night prince charming, sweet dreams" she forced herself to say so it won't be awkward if she don't say anything, this was new to her. He waited for her to enter the house before he drove off. "That's so sweet" Chimamanda muttered smiling
She got in to the dark living room and flickered the switch on, she gasped in fear when she saw her sister looking at her "oh my God! You both scared me" she was clutching her throbbing chest. "Sorry" they chorused.
"How was the date?, Where did he take you to? What was he like? Did you both kiss?" They kept on bugging her with questions.
"Calm down, wanna take my bathe now when I'm done I'll tell you both everything" she answered and headed upstairs for her room. They followed her like flies following dirt. They waited till she took her bathe and dressed up in her pajamas.
She told them all that happened, they blushed and cooed an awwn when necessary. "I knew you were bound to slap someone" Chidima quipped "but I'm dumbfounded that you actually apologized, you like him right? Don't lie to me and be sincere" Chidima probed maintaining a serious face the girls haven't seen before.
Chimamanda looked at her sister's face and just couldn't lie anymore besides she was her sister and only wanted the best for her. "Okay, yeah I do" she simply answered. "Oh my!" Chidima exclaimed I'm so happy for you she added happily and pulled Chimamanda for a hug. "Thank you" Chimamanda mouthed after she pulled out of the hug. "Sis you should learn to control your anger tho, so you won't be upsetting Mr. Admirer Everytime" Chisom advises. "Yeah I know I'll try my best" The girls gist about other random topic till they got sleepy and ended up sleeping in Chimamanda's room.
"Princess, take care of business while I'm away, take every decision on my behalf and if you find it difficult you can always call me" Chief uche instructed. "Sure thing Dad, I'll do just that, have fun with mummy" Chimamanda replied. Chief and Mrs. Uche Odenigbo were travelling, they usually go on Vacations and tour and this time they will be gone for a week and as usual Chimamanda takes over Odenigbo group while Chidinma takes over her mum's company. Chief Odenigbo turned to his eldest child, "Chidinma take care of your sisters and protect them like a mother hen will protect her chicks, you know you are the next Alpha of the Uche Odenigbo's park after me right?" He asked grinning. "Yes Dad, I know and I'll protect them" "Chisom you know i hate to leave you behind but I need to catch fun with my wife, I promise I'll get something specially for you on my way back" Chisom's face lit up with excitement as she heard what her father said "Yes Dad, please do I'll love it. The girl
"Let me talk to Dad alone." Can you guys go to Mom please? " Chimamanda begged. Chidinma nodded and held onto Chisom, leading her to their mother's hospital room. "I'll be right back and keep an eye on my uncle for me," she whispered to Ryan. He nodded in affirmation. Chimamanda walked into her father's room. The room was almost silent apart from the noise the ventilating machine and monitor made to show its capacity and usefulness. The room was spacious. A few brown-coloured couches and a table in between were placed for visitors. A window was close to the hospital bed, but the brown curtains were not drawn. The only sources of ventilation in the room were an indoor air conditioner, which was reduced to the lowest unit, and an air purifier placed above the head of the bed. She walked across to his bedside. He looked pale. Tears flowed down her eyes as she saw her father's state, but she cleaned it immediately. She didn't want to be in a vulnerable state in front of her father.
One week had passed since the accident that placed Chief Uche Odenigbo and his wife in a state of coma. Chimamanda and her sisters have been restless. All their efforts to get the people behind the accident proved abortive. The family of Chuka, Chief Uche's driver who died in the accident, were consoled and settled appropriately by the Odenigbo group. The experts were brought in to check the car if it indeed had a break issue according to what the eye witnesses testified to, but the experts confirmed it was negative.According to them, they stated that someone wanted Chief Uche and his wife dead because the brakes of the car were tampered with, which resulted in the accident. The people who tampered with the brake were smart. They knew the angles where the CCTV was installed and hid well without the CCTV capturing them while tampering with the brake.The security men at the Odenigbo's Mansion were changed; more CCTV cameras were installed at strategic positions in every direction
"Will you accept this poor boy that is begging to be your boyfriend?"Chimamanda was standing in shock, never did she expect this to happen soon.She was so shocked to say anything she looked like someone who was struck by thunder and lightning bolt."So this playgirl is going to be in a serious relationship" her mind kept screaming.She looked at Ryan, the man she was willing to commit to. It was not going to be easy on her end but she couldn't say anything less than yes to this handsome man looking intently at her piercing her soul with his beautiful gaze."Yes Ryan, I'm going to be your girlfriend" she finally says.Ryan hugged her in ecstasy, he was joyous and it was evident like pregnancy.He took her hand, kissing it in the process "Thank you"Chimamanda nodded "It almost sounded like a marriage proposal tho" she joked."Then I guess I gave to make more impressions when I will ask you to be my wife" Ryan replied."Let's go already it's late, I'm sure chidinma will skin me alive
The alarm by the bedside beeps indicating that the owner needs to wake up for work. She grunts and climbs out of her bed. Chimamanda the second child and the most successful daughter of Chief Uche Odenigbo of Odenigbo Group a.k.a The business magnate . A professional lawyer who heads the legal department of Odenigbo Group. After thirty minutes of preparation, she's set for work and heads to the dining room for her breakfast of tea, scrambled eggs and two slices of bread prepared by her wonderful chef, Julie.

There was a special club for the high class in the social ladder, they were granted a V.I.P pass due to the fact that they are their father's daughters. They had their own clubs littered around the city, but Chimamanda refused to go there because she wasn't ready for their eye service since they already know her as the boss, and a part of her past still drags her to the same club everytime. The music coming from the large speakers filled their ear drums as they walked into the club. Already excited by the feeling, she noticed some eyes on her. It wasn't a new thing to her since she was a ravishing beauty to behold. She made her way to the bar."A shot of Larvish spark" she told the Bartender. "Yes, Ma'am" the bartender replied looking at her with a bright smile. She didn't seem to care as she looked around the club for any hot guy. The Bartender passes the drink to her, Larvish is a trade mark
Chimamanda walked into her office, The first thing she noticed as she entered was the bouquet of Red Roses on her desk. This was the eleventh time she was receiving these flowers from Kola. She surveyed the flowers to read the note that always came with the flowers. "Just like the sun, you light up my world and like the stars you are so bright; I pray your day will be beautiful like your smile" Kola Adewale. "What the fuck is wrong with this Kola, is he clueless or something? I haven't even replied nor approved his flowers, plus I've turned down his date request so many times, and he still brings these flowers to my office" Chimamanda soliloquies. "Nnenna" she shouted her P.A's name into the phone, "Come to my office" she ordered. Nnenna enters almost immediately after she called her. "Yes, Miss Odenigbo" Nnenna replies in fear. She understands Chimamanda better that sh
