Louisa Mensah believes she has it all; a powerful business, a wonderful daughter and the greatest best friend one could ever wish for... but one thing she does not have is a man to call her own. She did have one, but he vanished from her life without a trace, leaving her with no option but to move on after a very devastating heartbreak. Billionaire Philanthropist, William Blankson has never stopped loving Louisa. Yes, he may have exited her life abruptly... but he has a perfectly reasonable explanation for that; it was to protect her from the darkness that was his family's past. But he's back now, and he's ready to do whatever it takes to win her back. Christian Ayettey meets Louisa, his former classmate again after so many years and just like that, his crush on her is back with a vengeance- only this time... it is something even more. Chris is determined to win her heart with this second chance he has been given, even if it means stepping on the toes of his business partner and close friend, William Blankson. Stuck in a dilemma of having to choose between the two men, and wanting to keep a very important secret hidden, Louisa finds that perhaps, she may not have it all like she initially thought.

You should turn Chris and Reggie's story into a stand alone. I'd really love to read that!

1. THE PHONE CALL
"Hey... sorry I'm late." Louisa smiled apologetically at her best friend Naa Larley as she took her seat."I can't believe you ordered without me." She complained, her tone light and playful.It was their lunch break, and despite being very busy, successful women, with their own companies, they always met for lunch at their usual hangout, Jerry's...at least twice a week.They had been doing this for almost ten years; you could even call it their thing now. There were sometimes hindrances, with the occasional lateness like today, but they never cancelled on each other.Naa laughed. "When I called and you told me you were stuck in the lunch break traffic around the independence square...I thought you were going to break our ten year record finally; plus… a girl's gotta eat."Louisa shook her head playfully.For the next hour, they filled each other up with gossip and long talk amidst good food and wine.Jerry's was truly the best.Time ra

2. NO VIOLENCE
"Miss Mensah, you are to be present at the headmaster's office at 3 for a brief meeting concerning your daughter." Someone Louisa was assuming was the secretary replied."But is Isabel alright?" Louisa asked perplexed."Yes ma'am. It's not really a health related issue. Everything is alright."The secretary's voice toned down into conspiratorial whisper. "Heads up, it's actually a minor issue, nothing to worry about. Well in my opinion."Louisa sighed in relief. "Thank you very much then. I'll be there."At thirteen and in junior high school, this was the first time Louisa was being summoned to her daughter's school for something that wasn't a general issue. Her baby was a good kid; never got into trouble, she really hoped it wasn't a serious problem.She glanced at the wall clock in her office. It was 1:45 and she really had to leave if she wanted to be at the school on time. Mensah and Associates was located in the central business district of Accra and her daugh

3. SUPERMOM
Louisa yawned tiredly as she combed her hair. She hadn't been able to get much sleep last night; she had been angry as fuck. Suicide wasn't a small issue and she was really itching to sue foolish Mr. Phillips to the moon and back for being so stupid. She had a lot going on her mind right now but she couldn't really do much till she had spoken to Melissa.She heard her phone ring and rushed to the bedroom to answer it."Hey girl." Naa Larley beamed as soon as Louisa answered the video call."Jesus, you look like shit even with the makeup, I wonder how you'd look without it then." Naa commented.Louisa rolled her eyes. Trust Naa Larley to tell it like it is."Aren't you going to work today?" She asked."No." Naa responded."Remember the wedding in Kumasi I told you about? Well the engagement is on Friday so I have to be there today. I'm actually en route atm… I have like two hours to go."Naa Larley was into event planning and she was dam

4. ONE DAY AT A TIME
Louisa was surprised to hear laughter as she stepped into her house that afternoon.... or should I say dusk. Her watch read 5:00 pm; definitely dusk. You could even call it evening.Her mum and Isa and a pretty chubby girl who she was assuming was Melissa were in the kitchen making dinner."Hey guys." She spoke out in a bid to get their attention, and it worked."Mummy!!!" Isa exclaimed and with a run, crushed her mother in a hug.Melissa laughed. "Aren't you like too old for this Is?"Meanwhile Isa was telling her mother in an undertone, "Be nice mum, please."Turning to face her friend, the teenager shrugged. "I know I'm too old for that, but I'm mummy's only baby and if I don't do these little things, no one would."Isabel and Melissa burst into laughter at the horrified faces of Louisa and her mother.Mrs. Mensah shook her head before joining in on the laughter. Wiping a tear from her eye, she said, “Jesus Lou, she's even more savage

5. BLAST FROM THE PAST
The door to her office banged shut, causing Louisa to look up in alarm to realise it was only Naa Larley. She opened her mouth to ask what her friend was doing at her office so early in the day but halted when she saw the look on Naa Larley's face.Standing up worriedly, she asked. "What's wrong Naa? Is everything okay?"Naa raised a hand signalling for a moment as she breathed in deeply to slow down her breathing. But she realised Louisa was getting more anxious so she whispered in between breaths."Will....William is he..here Lou."Louisa's eyes widened in fear. "Here as in here in the firm?"Naa Larley shook her head. "No he's back in the country."Louisa started to tremble. "You're lying Naa...right? Please tell me it's some joke, like maybe its April fool's. It's first April right?" Reaching out for the calendar on the desk, a glance told her it was March 26th, and that's when her heart literally stopped."How can I joke about something like t

6. WEDDING BELLS
Naa Larley decided to tell her friend the truth. What was the point hiding it anyway? Louisa was bound to find out sooner than later and it was best she find out from herself than from another source.Clearing her throat uneasily, she said. "So I had an appointment around 6am with one William Blankson and a Regina Aryee. To be honest, I didn't give it much thought, but then when my assistant and I arrived at our meeting spot, I had a bad feeling about the meeting, so I asked her to go in my stead."Louisa listened raptly and signalled for her friend to continue when she saw signs of hesitation.Naa Larley sighed. "It's not good Louisa. William is getting married, and he's asking for my event planning team to plan the wedding.""Of course, I'm not going to take the offer though. I know how you felt abou-" She was suddenly interrupted by her friend."You'll do no such thing Naa. You're going to take that offer and I don't want to hear anything else.""But-""But n

7. CHRIS
Louisa woke up with a start, all bothered and sweaty. She had been having a wet dream.Again.Ever since she had heard that Will was in town, she just couldn't stop thinking about him.But she had to. She chided herself. The insensitive bastard was getting married, and he had broken her heart. Nothing could repair their relationship but her subconscious wouldn't accept that.With a sigh, She grabbed her phone from her bedside drawer and checked the time.It was 4:30 am. She definitely wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep anymore, even if she tried.Today was a Saturday, meaning she had no work, so she figured she'd just while away time by doing some cleaning. She had promised Isabel that they'd go out later in the day, and she couldn't wait. They hadn't hanged out in a long time.By 8am, the whole family was up, and breakfast had already been had. Louisa and her daughter were going to the Efua Sutherland Children's park. There was a show goi

8. MIDDAY HANGOUTS
"Haha okay, you got me this time." Naa Larley rolled her eyes sarcastically as she pulled her chair back and took a seat.Louisa just couldn't stop laughing."You see how karma is honey? We almost canceled today because of you."The duo were on their usual lunch date at Jerry's and it had been Naa's turn to be late hence the laughter and mock anger.Louisa had been lucky. She had been in court the whole day so she had come straight from there."I can see you haven't ordered yet." Naa Larley muttered as she eyed her friend's glass of orange juice."Yes, yes." Louisa teased. "I'm not a foodie like some people who can't wait for their friends to show up before they get something to eat. "Naa shrugged. "Meh. You still love me anyways so..."The two laughed."Okay, so now tell me how your weekend went." Naa Larley stated as soon as the waiter had come for their orders.Louisa wished the ground would swallow her up. The question had come

9. THE MIRACLE
"Morning Akua." Louisa greeted her assistant as she briskly walked to her office. The poor woman could barely keep up."Morning Louisa. Here's your coffee"Louisa gratefully took the plastic cup from her assistant and quizzed her on the day's itinerary."Uh...you have to meet up with Mr. Asante and his lawyers, and you promised to be on Jeannette's co-defense council meaning you have to go to court.""Ughhh." Louisa groaned."It's today? The days seem to be flying by so fast."Placing her bag down and settling down in her chair, Louisa massaged her temples as she waited for her assistant to get comfortable in the chair opposite her.Akua scrolled down her iPad ."Oh and Louisa, one Mr. Ayettey called to book an appointment. Should I clear him for today?"Louisa sipped on her coffee with an indecipherable look on her face. Oh so he still has my card. After a whole week, he calls to make an appointment and thinks I'll be at his beck and cal

10. LOVEBIRDS MEET AGAIN
"Don't tell me you're not going to have breakfast today too." Mrs. Mensah stated as she glared at her daughter. It was a Wednesday morning and the older woman was busily cleaning the kitchen counter.Louisa tried her best not to roll her eyes. She didn't know why her mum always bothered to get her to eat in the mornings and she voiced out her feelings.Isabel sat at the dining table digging into her cereal obnoxious to what was going on around her. She couldn't handle anymore bickering between her mum and grandmother especially over the same issue.Mrs. Mensah continued. "Louisa breakfast is an important meal in the day. You simply can't skip it."This time Louisa rolled her eyes for real. She had had enough, so to humor her mother she grabbed an apple from the fresh fruit stand."There mum. Happy now?" She asked sarcastically.Her mother grinned. "Very much."Isabel quickly washed her bowl and headed upstairs for her school bag while her mother an
