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.
After her breakfast she picks her bag, laptop and some office files.
She looks at her self in the Mirror in the living room. Satisfied with her appearance, she leaves the mansion in her BMW SUV driving to work.
She parks in her custom parking space for the Head of the legal department once she arrives at the company's parking lot.
She enters the elevator and heads for her office. She slides into her office chair, arranges her bag, laptop and office files neatly on her large mahogany table.
She tells her prayers, an old character imbibed in her by her mother. She goes through the email her P.A sent to her for reviews.
"Miss Odenigbo, The Chairman needs your attention". Elo chimamanda's father's P.A informed her.
"What does he want me for" ? She asked. "I'm afraid, I don't know Ma'am" she replies and leaves the office.
She leaves her office and heads to her Dad's office, she walks into the large office with shelves lined up by the wall, different kinds of business books by different authors are stocked in them.
She secretly admires the office whenever she enters it, knowing one day it will belong to her.
Chief Uche Odenigbo was standing by the large view of the outside world looking outside a habitual thing he takes pleasure in doing.
"Good morning, Dad", "Morning Princess" he replies. "I need you to follow me to our new branch, I need to see how things are moving there".
When it comes to her Dad's business, Chimamanda takes an active role. That's why she always accompanies her Dad for any business transaction, except it's nothing serious, then his PA will accompany him.
"Okay, Dad, let me grab my stuff's I'll meet you downstairs". She left for her office to grab all she would need and headed for the Elevator. She meets him at the receptionist desk, and they walk together to his Ford Explorer with Chuka his driver behind the wheels.
After the day's activities in the office, she heads home. Once she got home, She took a shower to refresh her nerves. She puts on a black gown with a low neck line that shows her cleavage and stops mid thighs.
She applies a light make-up on her face and packs her long hair in a messy bun. She and her sisters inherited the long hair from her maternal family who are Americans. She grabs her phone, car keys, small blue hand bag and walks out of her room.
"Chimamanda, where are you heading to?"She heard the familiar voice which belongs to her senior sister Chidinma.
"I'm going to the club, it's boring staying at home" she replied.
"Do you mind if I join you"? Chidinma ask giving her a puppy eye look.
She was not going to buy that face because she knows what her sister is up to.
"Yes, I mind, I'm better off by myself instead of having an annoying baby sitter watch me." She replied sardonically.
Chidinma chuckles "Come on, I won't baby sit today, I promise, let's just keep today as a fun day between us."
She turned back, eyeing her an 'Are you serious look. "I'm serious, Jean" she responds.
She likes addressing her with her middle name, and she doesn't seem to mind that, it's still her name.
"Okay"Chimamanda says defeated and follows her to her room to get her dressed.
Chimamanda pulls out a Dark Orange gown long enough to make it's way down between the hips and knees, with the sides open down to the waist. She gives it to her sister to try it. Chidinma Immediately slips her body into the dress. It brought out her every curve and the back dipped down to the bottom of her spine.
"Perfect" Chimamanda exclaims.
Chidinma sits down for Chimamanda to make her up.
She outlines a dark smoky eye to compliment her light skin and apply a black lip stick on her lips. You can now look at the Mirror and thank me".
She looks at the mirror smiling at the oeuvre displayed on her face. "Thanks sis" she said with an approving smile.
"You are welcome, now let's start going".
Chidinma grabbed her purse and her phone heading outside behind her sister.
"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
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
"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.
"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
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 Chimam
The day for Chimamanda's date with Ryan came quickly. She was so nervous because she hadn't really gone out with a guy she was so attracted to. She couldn't concentrate well at work as she lost concentration on many occasions and her subordinates were looking at her with worry. They dare not ask her any questions relating to her personal life, or they will be fired by her and replaced immediately. Chimamanda couldn't take it any longer, so she took a sick leave and went home early. She hated looking soft or vunerable to people and it pisses her off when someone tries to pity her. She cursed herself for being so nervous and leaving work early. "It's just a date Chimamanda and Ryan, is like every normal guy you go on a date with, everything is going to end tonight after a make-out session. Stop being a weak girl, be a strong woman, you can do it". She chided herself on her way home from work.
