All Chapters of My fiance boss wants me.: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

My hand was shaking over the paper.The pen felt heavy in my wet hand. The rain was hitting the Range Rover roof loudly. My phone was ringing again in my bag. Mummy calling again.Mr. Jidenna Cole, the billionaire that everybody in Port Harcourt fears, was holding my hand and waiting for me to sign a marriage certificate that would make me his wife in 9 hours."Why me?" I whispered, looking at him. "Sir, you can get any woman in Lagos, in Abuja, fine girls with big Instagram following. Why me? A small tailor from Peter Odili road?"He looked at me. Really looked at me. From my wet hair, to my crying eyes, to my cheap church gown that was now soaking wet."Because you are not after my money," he said quietly. "Every other woman my mother brings wants my company. You didn't even know who I was the first time you met me last year when you came to deliver Tari's suit to my office. You looked at me and said 'Oga, your button is about to fall, let me help you fix it'. No woman has ever said

I could not sleep that night. Not because the bed was too big. The bed in his mansion was bigger than my entire tailoring shop at Peter Odili Road. Not because the AC was too cold. But because my new 30-day husband was sleeping in the sitting room of the same suite to give me privacy, and his mother hated me, and someone was warning me that I married a killer. At 2am, I went to the kitchen to drink water. The mansion was dark, quiet, and scary. So big that my footsteps echoed. As I was coming back, I passed his study room. The door was slightly open and light was on. I heard Jidenna talking on phone, his voice low and pained, like he was crying. "I still dream about her, Doctor. I still see Sophia in that car. Blood everywhere. I couldn't save her. It was my fault. I should have been the one driving that night. I should have said no when she said she wanted to drive." He was crying. The ruthless billionaire that everybody in Port Harcourt fears was crying alone in his study at 2

The sitting room was silent.Everybody was looking at the black file in Jidenna's hand.Kene was smiling. "Open it, big brother. Let us all see how you killed Sophia. Officer, this man is dangerous. He killed his first wife, now he has married a poor tailor from Peter Odili road. Who knows what he will do to her?"The police officer stepped forward. "Oga, please we need to see that file. We have a petition from the family of late Sophia Cole that you tampered with evidence."Jidenna's mother was crying. "Jidenna, if you killed Sophia, tell us now. Tell us!"I was standing beside Jidenna, my hand shaking. I knew the truth inside that file would shame Sophia's family, but it would save my husband.Jidenna looked at me. I nodded small, "Show them."He took a deep breath and opened the file on the big center table. He turned to page 4, the police conclusion page, and pushed it to the police officer and his mother.The officer read it aloud."Driver: Mrs. Sophia Cole... Alcohol level 0.19

Vanessa was not just any woman.In the car back to the airport, Jidenna was quiet. He was driving fast, his hands tight on the steering wheel, his jaw tight. His face was dark like someone who saw a ghost. I had never seen him like that since I married him. Even when Kene brought police, he was not this shaken."Who is Vanessa?" I asked again, my heart beating somehow jealous and somehow scared. The way she looked at him, and the way he froze, made my stomach turn.He didn't answer for a long time. He just kept driving through Lagos traffic, honking, overtaking danfos. Then he parked the car at a quiet place near Lekki bridge where the water was shining behind us. He turned off the engine and held his head with his two hands. For almost a minute, he said nothing."Vanessa was Sophia's best friend," he finally said, his voice low and tired. "And... and she was my first love. Before Sophia. Before everything went bad."My mouth opened. I didn't expect that."Yes. In university in UK, Va

I showed Jidenna the picture immediately. He woke up, saw the picture of us kissing in our own bedroom, and his face changed to anger, not fear. "Someone entered my compound. Someone put camera in my house." He called his security head instantly. "Check every corner of this mansion. Check every window. Someone took a picture of my bedroom last night from outside. Find the camera now!" Then I showed him the message: "Ask him where he was for 2 days after accident. Body found Wednesday, accident happened Monday." He sat down on the bed, his head in his hands. He was shaking. "Amara, that... that part is true. The police file says accident happened Monday night. But Sophia's body was found Wednesday morning by farmers. For 2 days, I was... I was not there." "Where were you?" I asked, my voice shaking. He looked at me with tears. "I ran. After the accident, after I saw Sophia dead, I was in shock. Blood everywhere. I pulled her out of the car but she was already dead. I was cove
