Lerisa thought about why Anthony didn't show up at his company. She knew that he usually showed up every day and wondered if all was well with him.After her dinner with her family ended, Lerisa went into the kitchen and tidied it up. She tried not to think too much about Anthony and wondered why she was feeling bad about him.She engaged herself with washing the dirty dishes in the kitchen.

Lerisa wondered why she stood in front of the white new Jeep decorated with balloons with Remy.Remy turned to face her and said, "Here's my lovely present to you for accepting to marry me.""Oh my!" Lerisa exclaimed. She jumped up with joy and hugged Remy tightly. "Are you serious? Is this really for me?"She looked so excited. Remy replied, "Yes. You can check out the vehicle. If you don't like it, I can get another model asap.""Oh my goodness! I love it, Remy. Thank you," Lerisa leaned forward and kissed Remy lightly on his left cheek. Remy smiled; however, he knows Lerisa is shy, so he wasn't demanding much from her. He gave her the car key, and Lerisa walked up to her new car to examine it."My goodness! It's lovely," Lerisa toured the white Land Cruiser SUV that Remy acquired for her. She felt so emotional, and she went back to kneel in front of Remy and thanked him in their cultural way."No, baby. Get up. You know that I love you very much, and I can do more than this for you,
Remy sat in his office watching the interviews regarding his fiancée. It was the reason he hadn't proposed to any lady yet. His father is a billionaire, which is the reason he's well-established at a younger age.Remy smiled and went back to his other work. He knew Lerisa was a shy lady, so he didn't bother calling her over to his office. He decided to give her time and for them to see later, maybe after closing hour. He had also discussed the marriage plans with his parents, and they agreed to meet with Lerisa's parents over the weekend to set the wedding date.Lerisa was in her working space when a lady named Kira Jackson entered. A fair-skinned young lady of about 25 years old. She was jealous of Lerisa as she had been working for Remy for three years and hoping he would propose to her.

Lerisa sat in the dining room waiting for her mother to return from the kitchen. She couldn't believe what her mother had said about her and Anthony being soulmates.“How is Anthony my soulmate?” Lerisa wondered in her mind."Here's your tea," Mrs. Antonia said as she stepped out from the kitchen and served Lerisa her tea."Thanks Mom, has James left the house?" Lerisa asked, as she heard the sound of her father's car starting in the garage."Yes, James left the house earlier, and your dad is going out to meet with a real estate agent. You know he's building a house for rental purposes, that's why he's leaving the house.""Okay." Lerisa quickly drank her tea with her bread. Her mother then reassured her, "You shouldn't worry too much about what I have told you regarding Anthony. I will meet with the pastor. Maybe with more prayers, there will be a solution. Your marriage will be happy and blessed.""Mom" Lerisa sighed. She didn't know what to say."It's all right. I am not going back
Lerisa smiled and turned to face her mother, "Good morning, Mom.""How are you doing?" Mrs. Antonia asked as she stepped into the room. She wore a white nightdress. She smiled as she walked up to her daughter's bed."I'm fine, Mom. I'm going to work," Lerisa replied as she dried her wet body."Let me get my clothes from the wardrobe," Lerisa said as she walked into her closet to search for the dress that she would wear to work.Mrs. Antonia smiled as she wanted to discuss with Lerisa, she desired a private conversation."Okay," She said, waiting for her first daughter to step out."Mom, this one you're sitting here on my bed. I hope there is no problem?" Lerisa asked her mother, as she donned a blue shirt and a black pencil skirt."No problem. Only that I wanted to inform you about what Mrs. Beatrice said yesterday. You know that she's still my friend, and regarding Anthony too."Lerisa frowned as she heard what her mother said. Every time Lerisa heard about Anthony, she's not happy,

She didn't even know where he was living now.Anthony placed a phone call across to his mother. She answered the phone call immediately."Hello, Anthony. Where are you? Tha
Martha saw the engagement ring photo and immediately phoned her older sister."Hello, big sister! Congratulations to you!" Martha was so excited, as she was in her school hostel."Thanks, baby sis. I appreciate," Lerisa smiled. She knew Martha would call."I'm so happy for you. When is your wedding date? And who proposed to you?" Martha inquired."Who else? Remy, of course," Lerisa replied, and Martha laughed, not wanting to raise the topic about Anthony again."That's good news. I will be back home next month end, please shift the wedding date until I'm back. I don't want to miss it," Martha said."I know. Remy said we shouldn't rush the wedding process.

You will soon become an aunt," Lerisa smiled, and Martha wished her all the good luck that comes with becoming married."Take care of yourself,
"Lerisa, where are you off to?" Mrs. Antonia asked, and Lerisa paused by the living room corridor."Mom, I cannot sit down there and listen to all the things that James said. I told him before that Anthony and Benita were dating. Why would James still go on to date Benita?" Lerisa asked.Mrs. Antonia sighed and replied, "You shouldn't be bothered about Anthony again. James is not at fault here, but the silly lady that allowed herself to be used by multiple men. How are you sure that she's dating only James and Anthony? What if the lady has other boyfriends apart from Anthony and James? You shouldn't be looking sad because of Anthony, so come back here and finish your pepper-soup. You will soon be getting married and all your focus and care should be on your husband and not another man."Lerisa frowned and quickly understood that she had overreacted. She allowed her true emotions to overwhelm the physical realm and now she feels so embarrassed."I am sorry, Mom. I just feel bad that An
