I still can't believe Mma left me with no awareness. She has disappeared with no trace of her.
"Dad I feel like dying, I can't bear this" I cried deeply while holding on to my father, he has been my pillar of support since the mysterious disappearance of Mma.
"Son you don't have to cry because of a woman, you are the son of a lion and lions don't cry, you should be happy she showed you her true colour" my father comforted me as I looked up at him.
"Dad tell me she will come back, I will die if she don't, I can't live without her" I felt like I was in a dream which I pray to wake up from.
"I'm sorry son but she is not coming back, you have to accept the fact that she was only after your money and move on, she doesn't love you" the king said as I shook my head in disapproval."I don't believe you, Mma loves me so much, I guess she travelled and she will be back in no time" I tried to give hope to myself."S
TWO YEARS LATERPRINCE'S POV,She smiled exposing her dentition as she went about welcoming the guest, her hourglass shape was the desire of all men, she occasionally twitched her fingers while demonstrating her words showing off her high level of sophistication, no doubt Cherry is the pure definition of excess beauty.He grimaced why watching her every move which seems to add to his level of confusion. How one could change totally within six years is what he is yet to unravel. He knew for sure that the gorgeous woman walking sophisticatedly around the hall is definitely his long lost love Mma but what he is yet to know is how she turned out to be the only daughter of a multi-billionaire who just finished her education abroad."Hi" he was interrupted as he turned to meet the owner of the voice.He was captivated by her deep smile as she stretched out her hand for a handshake. The Mma in front of him i
CHERRY'S POV,The glassy walls of the gigantic building met my eyes immediately I entered the company, no doubt everyone present was captivated by my beauty and sophistication as all eyes was on me. I walked gorgeously towards the receptionist not minding the lingering gaze from the employees after all I'm used to people staring at me right from when I was in the state."Is my father on seat?" I asked the receptionist who looked up with a glint of smile on her face."Yes ma" she replied."Tell him I'm here to see him" I said as I kept myself busy with my cellphone."Ma, you can go in" she said after placing a call to my father."Please follow me" she said as I followed her.I smiled as I met my father busy with some files on his table."Dad" I called excitedly as he looked up and flashed me a smile."My princess" he said before standing up to hug me."Dad, I was worried when you said you wanted to see me urg
KING'S POV,I couldn't believe my eyes as I watched her walk elegantly around the hall."I can't believe this, she really looks like the Mma I know, she must be the one" I soliloquized while watching her every move.." The king himself" the voice of Mr Otumba brought me out of my thoughts as I stood up to reciprocate his extend of a handshake."I'm very surprise seeing you in my party because I can't remember ever inviting you" Mr Otumba said as I swallowed hard enduring his indirect insult."What can I do, since the mountain refused to visit Musa, Musa has no option than to visit the mountain" I said as he smiled before sitting down on the seat opposite me."The toad does not run in the daytime for nothing, so tell me what you want from me?" He asked as I sat down."I came for peace, your company has been threatening to sell your shares in my company to the Nelson's group of companies and you know very well Nelson's group of companies is my company number one enemy, so I wonder why"
CHERRY'S POV,I felt jealous while watching him smile at the jist of one of the ladies in the conference hall, I huffed while wondering why I was even concerned on who he was talking to.I felt like the ground would swallow me when I sensed him coming towards my direction."Hi" I felt like I was in a trance at the sound of his voice."Hi" he said again as I finally turned to his direction with a fake smile plastered on my face."Hi" I replied while trying to comport myself."Are you sure you are okay? You look kind of distant" he said while staring intently at me, I looked down in order to avoid his steady stare at me."I'm okay, I'm just not used to conferences" I lied as I noticed a pitch of smile on his face."You sure?" He asked with a mocking tone."Yes" I replied."Or are you uncomfortable because of me" he added as I hastily looked up at him."What makes you think so and why should I be
𝗣𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗖𝗘 𝗣𝗢𝗩,I stared at the young lady before me without saying a word, she coughed trying to get my attention but I took my stand."Hi" she said while waving her palms before me."How can I help you?" I asked with no glimpse of smile on my face, her presence was obviously upsetting me, to think she has the guts to visit my office still surprises me.She searched through her bag as I stared suspiciously at her, she finally brought out a perfectly wrapped cup of pills arousing my curiosity to the core."What's this?" I asked while staring directly at her."That's why I'm here, there are many doctors in town whom I can consult but my spirit lead me to you" she said while staring at the cup in her hands."I had an accident six years ago, it was a terrible one which cost me my memory, I'm suffering from amnesia, I can't remember anything about my past life" she said confusing me the more."So how does that concerns me?" I asked as she looked up at me, I looked away from her not w
The sound from the daily ritual of the cocks woke me up from my deep slumber, turning reluctantly on my small mat I notice the uneven steps from passerbys who seem to be going about with their business. With a sigh, I tried to have a little more sleep but hastily stood up at the remembrance of my early morning fetching of water. With an unsteady movement, I walked towards the backyard as I picked up the jerrycan and a piece of wrapper and left the compound."Adaure" I shouted as I stood under an udara tree near my friend's house. She hastily rushed towards me with her jerrycan and a piece of wrapper as though she has been waiting for me."Otutu oma" she greeted with a deep smile as we head towards the public tap which was built by the king of the village. Being the first village to ever have the privilege of owning a tap, Umuire has turned out to be the most popular and developed kingdom as people from far and near kingdoms always come to the village to fetch water. The tap water is
They were twenty in number with their bag of clothes, Mma sigh in tiredness as they stood waiting for the arrival of the headmaid. She knew the task ahead might not be that easy but she was happy and proud of herself for finally putting a smile on her mother face when she revealed her success to her."I'm very happy for you my daughter, at last I can rest in peace knowing fully well that you will be comfortable where you are. Remember all I thought you, always do your chores deligently and never contribute to any form of social vices" her mother adviced as she nodded obediently."I'm sorry for keeping you guys waiting, follow me" the voice of the headmaid interrupted her thoughts as the maidens stood up and followed her.Mma opened her mouth in awe at the sight that met her inside the palace, the surprised look of the maidens also explained their amazement."God this is heaven on Earth" Adaure whispered to Mma who nodded while taking notice of the extravagant sight before them.

MMA'S POV,A loud knock followed by the deafening sound of a bell woke us up as we all ran hecter scarter to put on our clothes."Don't tell me you guys are still sleeping till now" one of the old maid asked as she stood hands akimbo at the entrance of our room.I almost ended up wearing the back of my clothes, I was so consumed by the enjoyable feel of the bed on my skin that I didn't know when morning came."You all should come down fast, miss Margaret has been waiting for you guys and I pray she doesn't skin you guys alive today" the maid said as she turned to leave the room."Our bath, won't we atleast take our bath?" Nkechi, one of my roommate asked as the maid stared at us in surprise."Oh no, you mean you guys haven't taken your bath? The time for that was an hour ago when the first bell was rung, I guess you guys were sleeping then, that means no bath today till nightfall" she announced."What" we almost shouted."Yes, that is the way things are here" she said and left almost
