Chapter 1

CHAPTER 1

Anita Baker just graduated from the university. She's a 24-year-old lady and the first daughter of her parents. She has five younger sisters. Her father is a banker, while her mother is a trader. 

She's fair in complexion, beautifully shaped with curvy hips. Among all her sisters, she's the only one with fair skin, as the rest are darker, with some being a fair brown.

 She resembles her mother but is more beautiful, which sometimes causes her father to accuse her mother of infidelity. He doubts he is truly Anita's father because of her fair complexion, but her mother has always remained silent about it and tells her not to mind her father, assuring her that she is indeed his child.

Her father even threatened to run a DNA test on her because he couldn't understand why she's so different in appearance from her sisters. 

Her immediately younger sister, Flora, who is a dark-skinned beauty, dislikes her, even though Anita is two years older.

 Four of her sisters harbor resentment towards her, except for her youngest sister, Glory Baker, who genuinely loves her. 

They say blood is thicker than water, but in Anita's case, it seems water is thicker than blood.

Anita's father, Mr. Joshua Baker, continues to send her to school, although he accuses his wife of forcing another man's child on him to marry her in the past. Nonetheless, he supports Anita's education in Business Administration. 

***

Anita is delighted as she just completed her final exams, and her results came out with flying colors. However, due to her father's constant accusations towards her mother, Mrs. Tonia Baker, Anita has refused to entertain any romantic relationships. She goes on dates but always ends up rejecting love proposals.

Her best friend in university, Temisa Patrick, has advised Anita to give love a chance, but Anita remains wary. She says, "My father constantly accused my mother of cheating, yet he still returned to her, and she bore six children. My mother says Dad loves her, but his daily insults don't reflect that love." Anita shared this with Temisa during their second year in the private university.

Handsome guys are eager to date her, but she feels they only want to use her, fearing they would change and accuse her of cheating, as her father does to her mother. 

Anita sits on a chair in the private room she shares with Temisa, preparing for their final convocation.

"Anita, I'm so happy. Finally, we're leaving this school. I can't explain how much I miss home already," Temisa says. "Me too," Anita replies faintly, though she knows it's not entirely true, as she dreads returning to her father's insults and her sisters' torment.

"What's wrong, girlfriend? You don't seem happy, even though you're graduating among the top students today?" Temisa asks. She approaches Anita, knowing well the struggles her friend faces.

"Don't worry, dear. When I get home, I'll talk to my mother about you coming to live with us during your internship," Temisa offers. 

"No, thank you, Temisa," Anita smiles faintly, appreciating her friend's concern but reluctant to impose.

"You know you're like a sister to me. Don't worry, graduating with a first class is no joke, and you should be happy. Today is your special day. Let me help you with some makeup," Temisa insists.

"You know I don't like makeup," Anita protests as Temisa leads her to the mirror. 

"I know, but today is special. You'll look great collecting your awards. No more excuses," Temisa says, starting to apply makeup.

Anita is amazed at her reflection, having never worn makeup before. She realizes why Temisa, a billionaire's daughter, has so many admirers. Despite being tempted to ask Temisa for help joining the Benson Group, a prestigious company, Anita decides to apply on her own to avoid seeming like a gold digger.

"All done. Don't you look sweet? I'm the best makeup artist on campus!" Temisa jokes. 

"Don't over-praise yourself, Temisa. You did well, but I still don't like makeup," Anita admits. 

"I hope a handsome man sees you today!" Temisa giggles, always thinking about relationships. Although Temisa is not serious about love, Anita admires her confidence.

Temisa, despite her many relationships, maintains she's a virgin, which Anita finds hard to believe given Temisa's outgoing nature. Still, they're best friends, sharing the same department and course.

"Let's go outside. Our families must have arrived," Temisa suggests, packing her things. 

As they leave for the graduation ceremony, Anita prepares to say goodbye to university life. She receives her first-class award and recognition for academic excellence, with Temisa proudly cheering her on.
