  • The bookshop romance
    Chapter 8: Emily's Awakening

    As they stood before Emily's bookstore, Ryan's eyes locked onto hers. Emily's heart pounded.

    "I've been right here," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

    Their lips met in a tender kiss under the starry sky.

  • I and Raymond sat at the front yard and watched Ryan and my sister play their love game at the front of the house.

    Now that I thought of it, Ryan loved my sister but he hadn't realized it because they had been family friends for too long.

    I looked up at Raymond and noticed that his face was hardened.

    "Now that I look at it, it was never Nathan's intention for Clara to kil-l Gretta that day, he had only sent her to convince Gretta to never expose the truth since they were once besties, but Clara still felt threatened that if Gretta was alive, Nathan would one way or the other find out that the baby he had kil---led because of his ego was his child. She didn't want the real truth to ever be exposed, that was why she had poisoned Gretta's first love and pushed her off". He said bitterly.

    "What do you think Gretta had been doing for three hours with her first love in her office that day?".

    "According to my research, coincidentally, she had a three hours work plan on arranging a particular project she was given that day. Gretta was not the type that would leave her work half done to start chasing a bull head out of her office. When they had both stepped out,she had completed the project. If she was doing anything with him, she wouldn't have time to complete that long project the time she did".

    "Now, karma has caught Nathan and he will live in guilt for life for ki--lling his own son because of manipulation of a woman without even properly investigating. Coincidentally, the same day that Gretta had spent three hours with her first love was the day that Nathan had impregnanted her. That must have also convinced the stupid Nathan. Gretta suffered so much all her life". I said sadly.

    He met my eyes and brought out a ring from his pocket. "Rosa Harrison, will you marry this imperfect man?".

    "No, I will marry the most perfect man on earth, my handsome detective, Raymond Anderson". I smiled and he smiled heartily and placed the ring into my finger.

    He kissed me.

    I closed my eyes and prayed. "Oh Lord, give us a chance to always trust each other in marriage, even when anyone tries to manipulate us, let us keep believing in each other, because perfect love is trust".

    My phone rang and he had to release me. It was Mirabel.

    Mirabel was the one that was calling me. Alexander Anderson had passed the inheritance to her. He believed in Mirabel that she was hardworking and wouldn't waste his money.

    "Hello Mirabel?".

    "You were made the manager of the accounting department of Sparkles and you are busy getting engaged and kis--sing at this time of the afternoon?".

    I burst into laughter and looked up.

    I found her sitting beside Dominic and Ryan and waving excitedly at us.

    We waved back at her excitedly.

    "Sorry for the interruption! You guys can continue your zee world movie!". She chuckled.

    I and Raymond chuckled and he placed a possessive arm around me. "Clara, Nathan and Steve Austin are jailed for life imprisonment right now as we speak and the whole world respect you more because you are the first person that was framed that saved herself".

    "We did it together".

    "Rosa Harrison is no longer condemned! She is free! Rosa Harrison is free!!!". He cried out into the air and we burst into laughter.

    He was right.

    At last, I was free.

    THE END

  • The urine that was trying to press out of my bladder before had disappeared.
    I walked into my office and tears filled my eyes.
    Hope someone somewhere still believed that I didn't kil!l Gretta.
    Someone...
    Someone knocked on the door to my office and walked in.
    Clara.
    She looked pitifully at me. "You don't have to pay attention to Diana, she is usually rash with her words and she was closer to Gretta than I was. I hope you don't take it to heart that she accused you".
    I watched her closely. "What about you? Do you believe that I k!lled her?".
    "Have you forgotten that adage? A person that everyone suspects is not usually the kill!er".
    Mirabel sent me to deliver an information to the manager in his office upstairs.
    As I returned from his office, Ryan appeared at the far end of the stair case .
    My heart slipped at the sight of him.
    He went on his knees. "I am sorry about what I did two months ago. I am sorry about everything".
    "Are you satisfied? Raymond has not contacted me for two months. I don't even know whether he is having a hard time because of you".
    "Why do you care about Raymond so much?".
    "...when i was struggling to change myself, Raymond reached into my soul". Tears filled my eyes.
    "You love him? You love Raymond?".
    I walked past him but he held back at my hand.
    "Answer me before you go. Do you love Raymond or not?".
    "We just barely spent a month together! How can I love someone in just one month?".
    "Is that your only stress? The time you knew him?".
    "Yes! I miss him and I don't even know if he is having a hard time". I frustratedly walked into my office. It was lunch hour.
    I headed to the cafeteria.
    None of the workers ever sat with me to eat, including Benson, my friend.
    The food was bland in my mouth.
    As I eat on, I caught Diana glaring at me and whispering 'Murderer'.
    It felt so frustrating.
    I had changed for good now, why can't anyone still believe in me?
    Suddenly, a person placed a tray on my table.
    I looked up at the person.
    It was Raymond Maxson.
    I was nearly out of breath at the sight of him.
    I didn't mind my manners, I began to cry like a baby.
    He walked to me, wrapped his arm around me and kissed me on my forehead. "It is alright, Rosa. I promise never to leave your side again".
    I observed him closely. "Are you okay? How have you been all those while? Did you even eat well at all?".
    He chuckled and squeezed my cheek. "I am perfectly fine".
    We hugged.
    After eating, we trudged to Sparkles parking lot, holding hands.
    "Were you able to continue on the case while we were not together?" I asked him.
    He cleared his throat. "Steve Austin remained in Nigeria. He didn't go abroad anymore".
    "Why?".
    "I don't know yet. He never visited Nathan since that day that Ryan had spoilt our plans".
    "Why?".
    "It is obvious that they usually meet somewhere else".
    I nodded thoughtfully.
    We had fun again at the amusement park that day.
    ...and I forgot all my worries.
    Raymond had brought light to my dark day.
    "Your B.P arose again". Doctor Cole told Dominic.
    She nodded thoughtfully. "I got myself thinking again".
    "Why? Ryan?".
    "No, my sister".
    "What happened?".
    "She still believes that i am part of those that condemn her. She has no idea that I took up this case to prove to the whole world that my sister didn't do what she was accused of".
    He nodded. "Are you sure you don't want to tell her?".
    "No, if I do, she will see more reason to let go of Ryan for me and I don't want her to sacrifice that much for me".
    "Are you sure you want your sister for Ryan?".
    "Why not?".
    "Ryan is the angel you don't know".
    "How do you mean?".
    "He told me two months ago that I should do everything to make you fall in love with me so that you can convince Rosa that you don't love me and she can go back to him again. He told me that if I didn't do it, he would sack my parents from KIA motors".
    I had just finished making a video call with Raymond that evening.
    We had even sang together.
    It felt so exciting that Raymond was back for real.
    Suddenly I heard my dad call my name from the sitting room.
    I rushed to the sitting room.
    My sister had just returned.
    "The both of you should sit down! I have something important to tell you".
    We sat down on the cushion obediently just like we had always done since we were kids.
    He cleared his throat. "I met Judge Joel Maxson today, and guess what! He told me that Rosa is a mu--rderer. He told me that he wouldn't mind locking her behind bars irrespective of our friendship! You know why I am telling you this? I don't want you to have anything to do with that man! Dominic, I will find another law firm for you, and you, Rosa, I don't want you to have anything to do with his son again".

  • Tell us who the angel is? They chorused.

    He laughed deep. He went to where Ayo was and knelt before her. He brought out a very expensive ring.

    " Please marry me Ayo!"

    Before Ayo could respond, the staff were already chanting.

    Marry him! Mary him

    "Of course I will marry you Olajide Emmanuel"
    He wore her the beautiful ring and there was sound of clapping. While celebration was going on in the office, Andrew sneaked down stairs to his office with sad expression on his face.
    ____________________
    The Oluwafikayo were the happiest. The family introduced Emmanuel to the pastor Ezekiel who prayed for them. Emmanuel came with his mum and other family members for introduction. He made it clear he doesn't want a long courtship. Six months was too long for him but the Oluwafikayo told him to relax that six months was okay. Since Ayo was there only child, they wanted the marriage to be elaborate.
    The moment it was announced that Ayo was getting married, everyone who she had touched in one way or the other, sent money. Amarachi who was already overseas, sent a huge amount of money to Ayo.

    " My father's brother is in town now. He just returned from overseas. I want us to meet him" Emmanuel told Ayo.

    They drove to visit Emmanuel's uncle only to discover it was Mr Adeshina who gifted her #25M when she was almost graduating from school.
    They were so happy to meet again. Mr Adeshina told Emmanuel how God used Ayo to rescue him. Emmanuel laughed and told his uncle his story."

    " Your mum never told me you were sick. I am glad the enemies failed in your life" he told Emma. " I can relax knowing you are in good hands. Let me give you a token for the wedding". He brought out his check book and wrote on it.

    Ayo collected it and shouted.
    "#16M? Waoh! She kept say.

    "It's for your wedding gown"

    Ayo hugged him.
    I will sponsor your marriage. I will take charge of everything.
    Ayo hugged him again and started crying.

    But when Ayo got home, she splitted the money into four. She gave her parents #4M each. #4M for pastor Ezekiel and #4M to the widow, orphans and less privileged.

    A week later, Emmanuel bought her a befitting car.
    ___________________
    While Ayo and Emmanuel were busy planning for their wedding, Andrew was busy planning evil.
    "If I can't have her, the he can't have her either." If I had not employed her, he wouldn't have met her here."

    He waited until everyone had left, then he sprinkled a powdery substance on Ayo's chair so that she will run mad. He smiled when he remembered that by tomorrow, Emmanuel's joy would be cut short.
    ____________________

    Ayo got early to work to finish the previous day work. She entered the office and felt uncomfortable. She made to sit on her chair but a force pushed her and she fell.

    " Don't sit on that chair." the voice said. Replace your chair with Andrew's and do it fast." Still dazed, Ayo went into work immediately.
    ____________________
    It was not long before Andrew arrived. He dropped his briefcase at his office and proceeded to join the morning devotions. As usual, staff greeted each other after the devotion before entering their different offices. Like everyone, Andrew went into his office, sat on the chair and there was commotion. He ran out of the office screaming. He had removed his clothes and trousers. The tie was around his tiny waist.

    " I put charm on Ayo's chair but I sat on it."He clapped his hands and laughed. " I wanted her for myself but he got her before me"
    Everyone was bewildered. Andrew got a chair with which he used to break glasses until he was restrained by the security men. Andrew's wife was alerted and she came to the office crying. At last, they took him to a psychiatrist hospital.

    Ayo went to Emmanuel's office and narrated what happened when she entered the office earlier.
    "I almost sacked Andrew but you remembered my mum called begging on his behalf. I forgave him and look at what he did to himself."

    Both of them knelt and thanked God for scattering the works of the enemy.
    ____________________
    Ayo stood in her white flowing gown before Pastor Ezekiel. Then she turned and saw the crowd who came to attend her wedding. She looked at her parents, the dazzled. She saw Mrs Rosemary and Mr Adeshina.
    "Do you take Ayomide as your lawful wedded wife? she heard pastor asked.

    "Yes I do!"

    " You may now kiss your bride."
    Emmanuel who had waited for this long, didn't waste anytime time. He grabbed Ayo's mouth in his and gave her a deep kiss."
    Ayo reciprocated shyly though and the crowd cheered them.

    Bro Kola and sis Adenike were the most happiest parents.

    Rosemary and Adeshina thanked God for bless Emmanuel for a complete package.

    Ayomide and Emmanuel were grateful to God for working out everything for their good.

    THE END.
