Alle Kapitel von The price of loving Jennifer.: Kapitel 1 – Kapitel 10

Chapter One – MatchmakingThe notification chime on Jennifer Oko’s phone sounded for the fourth time that morning.Her eyes opened immediately.For a brief moment, excitement rushed through her. She reached for the phone on her nightstand, hoping the message she had been waiting for had finally arrived.Her NYSC call-up letter.She unlocked the phone.Her excitement vanished.It was another notification from her university group chat.Jennifer groaned and dropped the phone onto her plush duvet.“Seriously?”She fell back against her pillows and stared at the ceiling.For three weeks, she had been checking the NYSC portal almost obsessively. Morning, afternoon, night. Still nothing.At twenty-two, Jennifer was ready for a new beginning. She had recently graduated from university, and although her father had already started talking about her future, she wanted to experience life on her own terms.Being Douglas Oko’s daughter came with privileges, but it also came with expectations.Her

Chapter 3 – One DinnerThe following evening, the Oko estate was prepared for dinner.The dining room looked less like a family gathering and more like the setting for an important business meeting.Jennifer sat beside her father, maintaining a composed expression as the servants made their final adjustments.Douglas Oko sat at the head of the table. Beside him was Victoria, Jennifer's stepmother.Across from Jennifer sat Greg Adams, one of her father's major business partners, and his son, Julian.Jennifer glanced at Julian.He was undeniably high-society material. His designer suit, perfectly styled hair, and confident manner reflected the wealthy world he had grown up in.Throughout the first course, Julian spoke about his life in London, his father's logistics empire, and his plans for expanding Adams Logistics.“I've been studying the West African transport corridor,” he explained. “There is enormous potential, especially with the developments around the ports.”Greg laughed prou

Chapter 5 — An Impossible LoveThe evening sky was beginning to turn golden when Jack finally returned from work.It had been a tiring day. Four special clients had brought their cars to the workshop, and they trusted no one but Jack to repair them personally. By the time he closed for the day, all he wanted was to get home, take a shower, eat something, and rest.He drove through the familiar streets, already imagining himself stretched out on his small sofa with the television playing in the background.But as he turned into his street, something caught his attention.A woman was standing outside his compound.Jack slowed down.As his car drew closer, he recognized her.Emelda.His expression changed immediately.“What is she doing here?”He parked near the gate and stepped out.Emelda smiled when she saw him.“I've been waiting for you.”Jack stared at her. “Why?”“I need to talk to you.”“You should have called.”“I did. You didn't answer.”“I was at work.”“I know. But I wanted t

Chapter SevenJulian paced back and forth across the spacious living room.His bodyguard, Raymond, stood several feet away, waiting silently.The information he had just delivered had clearly not gone down well.“So, you are telling me that she went out with a mechanic?” Julian asked again.“Yes, sir.”“A mechanic?”“Yes, sir.”Julian laughed bitterly.He walked toward the large window overlooking the compound and stared outside.Of all the men Jennifer could have chosen, she had chosen a mechanic.That thought wounded his pride more than he wanted to admit.He had spent years watching women compete for his attention. Beautiful women, wealthy women, influential women, women who would do almost anything just to be seen with him.Yet Jennifer had looked at him and simply said no.Now, instead of chasing after him, she was sitting somewhere with a mechanic.Julian clenched his jaw.“I want everything about this man. His name, where he lives, where he works, his family, his friends, his f

Chapter NineJennifer sat quietly in her bedroom, staring through the large glass window without really seeing anything.Her mind was somewhere else.She was thinking about Jack.Ever since their relationship had begun, she had found herself thinking about him more than she expected. Jack was not wealthy. He did not come from a powerful family. He did not have the kind of connections her parents considered important.Yet she liked being around him.With Jack, she did not feel like the daughter of a billionaire. She felt like an ordinary young woman.But lately, another thought had begun troubling her.What would happen if her parents discovered that she was in love with a man who was not wealthy?A soft knock interrupted her thoughts.Before Jennifer could respond, Victoria opened the door and walked in.Her stepmother looked at her carefully."You seem far away today."Jennifer smiled faintly."I am just thinking.""About what?"Jennifer hesitated."There is something I want to ask y
