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. Remy never had a fling with any of his workers. He didn't stare at his staff with hostility either. But what Kira couldn't understand was why Remy didn't ask any of them out. Now, ever since Leri
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,
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. After that, she retired back to her room to sleep.The following morning, Lerisa woke up in her bedroom and prepared to go to her workplace. She knew that she was the talk of the town after her engagement with Remy went viral. Lerisa didn't think she could leave Remy, and she was glad that he was also loyal to her.She went into her bathroom, brushed her teeth, and did some clean shaving. Admiring her reflection in her bathroom mirror, Lerisa thought about the moment she would definitely consummate her marriage with Remy.She slapped her left cheek and said, "No, I shouldn't be thinking about this
"Oh my God! MOM! They're here," Lerisa was nervous as she knew the multiple cars arriving at her father's house were Remy and his uncles. "Yes. Calm down. Let me go and attend to them. I will send for you," Mrs. Antonia said. She turned and exited her daughter's room. Mrs. Antonia hadn't taken her bath, so she rushed into her room for a quick bath. She put on traditional clothes and applied a little makeup to her face. She stepped out wearing an orange top with a brown wrapper wrapped around her waist. She paired it with black shoes and applied makeup to her face, along with a little red lipstick. Remy got out of his car and looked around Lerisa's family home. He arrived with two of his uncles, his father's elder brother, and younger brother too. Mr. Fred Jonah stepped out of the house to welcome them. He greeted Remy's uncles and ushered them into his house. "You're highly welcome to our home. What can we serve you?" Mr. Fred asked. James was around, so he shook hands with Remy,
"Good evening, Ma," James greeted Mrs. Beatrice as he saw her speaking to their gateman as soon as he walked out of the house."Good evening, my son. Is Lerisa at home?" Mrs. Antonia asked James. She had totally forgotten that it was Lerisa's engagement day. As she was speaking to James, that was the same time Remy and his uncle's car drove out of the house.However, Remy didn't spot Mrs. Beatrice, but she already knew why Remy was there."Yes, Ma. Lerisa is inside; let me call her for you." James quickly went back into the house to summon Lerisa. He couldn't ask Mrs. Beatrice why she wanted to see Lerisa. It was not like Mrs. Beatrice was a stranger, so he went into the living room and saw Lerisa and their mother."Lerisa, come first," James said, not wanting to tell Lerisa that Anthony's mother was looking for her outside the gate."Why are you calling Lerisa, James? What do you want to say to your sister?" Mrs. Antonia, who looked happy and excited, queried James."Mom, It's nothin
As James brought out his phone to check the incoming messages, it was a message from Benita with Anthony's house address.Mrs. Beatrice was looking so impatient, so she asked James, "Is that Anthony's address?""Yes, ma," replied James, and he passed his phone. across to Anthony's mom."Please send the house address to me. It's almost getting late. I think I know the new estate written in the message," Mrs. Beatrice said, and Lerisa also looked worriedly as she was still standing outside with James and Anthony's mother, despite the fact that her mother had summoned her to enter the house and not pay any heed to Anthony's mother."Thank you, James. I have to start going there now, as Anthony's phone isn't reachable. I am afraid of what I will meet there. I can only hope that Anthony is truly fine," Mrs. Beatrice said after James forwarded the text message to her phone.James, on the other hand, was previously going out to see Benita. But after hearing what Anthony's mother had said reg
Lerisa couldn't believe her ears when the security man informed them that Anthony didn't want to see his mother and also stated that he would be at home until next week."What's wrong with Anthony? Why does he not want to see me? Did I do anything wrong to him?" Mrs. Beatrice cried while sitting in her car's driver's seat, and Lerisa felt so terrible for her.James, on the other hand, was silent, not knowing what to say to the estate security men again as they refused to allow them to go inside and see Anthony. Even if they were allowing other people who lived on the estate to drive inside,."Calm down, Ma. I believe Anthony is fine and maybe only going through a hard time; he didn't want you to see him in his broken state. Just give him some time, ma. I am sure he will come home." James spoke to Anthony's mother, wanting to ease the older woman's heart."No, James. What went wrong with Anthony? He is my only son. What will become of me? How will I be able to have another child at thi
Lerisa looked at Anthony and his mother. She wanted to refuse to enter their house as her lips parted to speak and tremble, but she couldn't find the right word to refuse. She couldn't share the same space with Anthony, as she was still in love with him.Seeing Anthony walked back to pull the gate open for his mother to drive inside as he ordered his security man to open the gate. Lerisa didn't want to prove too stubborn, so she walked up to meet them and then walked into the compound too, marveling at the exquisite mansion in front of her.Lerisa's phone buzzed, and she immediately answered the phone call, seeing that Remy was the one phoning her after she watched Anthony's mother park her car."Hello, babe," Leirsa said to Remy as soon as she answered his phone call. "Hello, Lerisa, where are you?" Remy Inquired.Lerisa didn't want to reveal to Remy that she was not at home, so she told him. "I am at home. I will call you later, as my phone battery is low."Remy didn't suspect anyth
