Chimamanda, that guy has interest in you, can't you see it? Chidinma said. Since the mall experience Chidinma have been bugging Chimamanda about Ryan's interest in Chimamanda.
The three Odenigbo sisters, Chidinma, Chisom and Chimamanda, were all in Chidinma's room.
They were helping Chidinma pick clothes for a fashion show she was attending with their mum.
"Who is this Ryan guy, if I may ask Big sis?" Chisom quizzed. He's a hot guy that's attracted to Chimamanda and she is also attracted to him but is too proud and stubborn to admit it" Chidinma replied.
"I'm not interested in him, he's not even my type" Chimamanda defended, which certainly wasn't true because Ryan is definitely her type.
She thinks about him and secretly has pictures of him that she admires in her phone but just can't admit it. Besides, she didn't want to feel anything for him, she couldn't bear to have someone close to her heart again.
"What's his name? Let's G****e him out and get to know about our sister's admirer" Chisom asked "Ryan Onyeka Ikeagu" Chidinma blurted out. Chisom pulls out her phone to research him as Chimamanda moves close to her to get a good view of the phone; Chimamanda moves close too.
Multiple websites pops out as she scrolls down, she lands on a Wikipedia website that read Age, Net worth, Marital status, she clicks on it, and the website reveals its content.
She press the X button of an AD nearby and scrolls down for them to read the information displayed on the screen. A cute picture of him surface, and Chimamanda makes a mental note to steal it later.
"Aw, Ryan, you are so cute" Chidinma cooed. He is a cute dude o. sis give him a trial na Chisom said. she scrolls down to read the picture.
"Dr. Ryan Onyeka Ikeagu (Ph.d) is a graduate of business administration from the prestigious Babcock University, where he also got his master's degree in political science a year after the compulsory National Service youth service corps (NYSC) program.
Later he proceeded to covenant University to obtain his Ph.d degree.
"wow! Such an academia" Chisom commented. "He is surely a book worm" Chidinma chirped in smiling, her eyes still glued to the phone screen.
"He is the first child and only son of Engr. Nnamdi Ikeagu and event planner Mrs. Oluchi Ikeagu (nee Okoye). He is the senior brother to a model, a fashion icon and a cake designer, Miss Chikadibia Avril Ikeagu"
As Chisom keeps scrolling, a family picture of the Ikeagu's pops up. "He is a splitting image of his father" Chimamanda said noticing the features and resemblance. "Yes, he is" Chidinma and Chisom agreed.
The ikeagu's just like the Odenigbo's have been in the business world for years. Chimamanda smiles as she reads the article. "I am a proud Odenigbo who doesn't know us in the business world" Chidinma said with a sense of pride. "They don't call Dad a business magnate for a mouth, we get fans eh" Chisom added ending her speech in pidgin English.
"They own an Air line, multiple hotels around the world, restaurants, clothing stores, jewelry shops, clubs, own shares and investment in malls, banks, real estate, private universities.
They are also know for their philanthropic acts like helping the poor through Charity, working with W.H.O and other health insurance establishments in eradicating diseases and Malaria in Nigeria and Africa.
Ryan likes to follow his father's footsteps in helping the poor through their foundations. He was born on the 9th of April, 1994. "So he is 27 years old, older than I am by a year and you Chimamanda with three years, the age difference is not even much, sis" Chidinma calculated.
Chisom scrolled up to read more. Unlike his counter parts who are eligible bachelors, Ryan seems to take another direction.
According to him, he hasn't had a girlfriend, neither has he been spotted with any lady in pictures except his sister. Following an interview, Ryan disclosed that he is not into any secret relationship, and to him, ladies are a distraction to his work life and he doesn't think of settling down in the near future.
He hasn't had a girlfriend before and no lady has attracted him to the point of having a relationship with her.
Through this statement this has made us conclude with pictures of him and different guys that Ryan Onyeka Ikeagu (Ph.d) is gay.
Below were different pictures of him and a guy's face almost together as if they were kissing and one he was hugging tightly.
"Oh my God!" Chisom exclaimed, "Mr admirer is gay?" She questioned another shock evident on her face."I don't think so. Besides, you shouldn't believe everything the internet says sometimes they can lie because I saw the way Ryan was looking at Chimamanda. It wasn't ordinary" Chidinma defended."Okay, no problem, he might not be gay" Chisom said. Besides, he has a masters in political science just like you, why don't you give him a chance for the sake of the same spirit you bookworms share? Chisom pleaded.Chimamanda rolled her eyes in disgust "I am not interested" she replied bluntly."Come on, little sis, Chidinma whined Ryan feels something for you, you have seen the bouquet with cute messages he sends here, and I know your desk has a share too. I've seen you turn down his numerous dates, and he still comes back to ask. Give him a trail na." Chidinma pleaded.Chim
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.
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
"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
