Rise of a village Girl

I couldn't believe my ears when my dad said I was going to the village to continue my education, it was unlike my dad.

"Chief!!!! For God sake, why will Jake go to the village to continue his education" my mum exclaimed.

"dad why will I go to the village, check it out I have no class in the village" I said firmly.

"you all know that I am a titled man, Omeluora one of Itolu Kingdom and I really love my tradition and culture. With the kind of lifestyle Jake is living he doesn't know anything about tradition and culture and I will like him to belong, understand and know his tradition who knows he may end up being a titled man like his father" chief Omeluora said as he laughed in an elderly manner.

"dad what you are saying is meaningless, I don't f-–g wanna belong to any tradition" Jake fired.

"you must be stupid" chief said angrily.

"chief how do you expect him to cope with things there? You know he isn't used to local and unpleasant environments" my mum said trying to convince Chief.

"woman you don't have anything to worry about, he is staying with my mother, I will get him a driver and all that he needs, with the best school"

"well if you say so, I just hope he copes"

"so I will now be left alone" my younger sister cut in.

"not at all my angel, here is lively beside I promise to take you to see him once in two weeks" my dad said.

"OK am OK with that" Cindy my younger sister replied as she continued with her phone.

I looked at every one in the living room as they all succumbed to my dad's decision, I hissed and headed for my room.

As soon as I got to my room, I connected my head phone to my iPhone 6 and started playing my favorite song by LHF benzo to cool off my anger....

The next day was a Thursday, I woke up from my soft bed, muttered some prayers that I never forget to do every morning even though am an arrogant person, and headed to the restroom.

I washed my face and brushed my teeth before relaxing on my bed to play music (am a music lover).

I was still listening to my cool music when a knock landed on my door...

"come in" I said removing my head set

"food is ready" Carole our cook informed

"I will be there shortly" I muttered.

I was about living the bed when a call came into my phone oh it was Hannah my one and only girlfriend. Her family and mine are really close

"good morning sunshine"

"good morning Jake, how was your night" an angelic voice asked

"went well and yours?"

"splendid"

"that's good"

"Jake are you coming to school tomorrow, we were asked to come copy our scheme"

I sighed before answering her

"I don't think am resuming with you guys"

"Jake are you leaving the school for real"

"yea, my dad wants me to school in the village"

*what village??? Jake stop kidding, this isn't April 1st" Hannah said laughing loud

"am serious, you can come over today so we would discuss things"

"sure I will by noon"

"bye angel"

"bye love"

The line went off. I left my room straight to the dining

"where the hell is Jake" I over heard my dad..

"am here" I said as I sat on my chair, they were almost done with theirs

"where have you been" my mum asked

"I was busy upstairs sorting something"

"eat your food" my mum said

My dad was fully dressed in his native attire ,an ogbu agu top, a black trouser with a red cap and his breeds, he was ready for work (that's his normal way of dressing to work or he wears a senator attire)

"Jake I want to inform you that you are living for Enugu tomorrow morning, so you could know your new school and collect your necessary materials to resume school on Monday"

"OK" I said in a low tone "dad by the way what's the name of this new school"

"when you get there, you will know" he took his briefcase and left the dining

I looked at him but was just silent as many things were running in my mind. Minutes later I was the only one left in the dining as I quickly rushed my tea, bread and sandwich.

FEW HOURS LATER===??

"ding dong" the door bell alarmed

I went to check who it was and it was no other person than Hannah

"Hannah!!"

"Jake"

"you look gorgeous"

"thanks dear"

She was putting on a dark blue gown at her knee level with a silver shoe, silver Michael kors Bag and a silver head band and the enchanting perfume she was putting on.

"how is Cindy"

"oh she is not at home, she went out with mum"

"so you are home alone"

"that's it"

"welcome aunty Hannah, what would you like to take??" labake our maid asked

"oh nothing, am OK"

"are you sure" I asked

"yea"

," OK let's go to my room"

____________________

"so you are no longer coming to Lambert International School"

"No as a matter of fact things are beyond me, am even living for Enugu tomorrow morning and today will be the last day I will see you till further notice"

"why is your dad doing this??"

"I don't know"

The room was silent for some minutes as I saw tears rolling down her cheek, I held her wiped off her tears and kissed her on her forehead

"I will really miss you" she said

"same here, I will over miss you"

"I want to ask you for a favour" she said suddenly

"what Favour?"

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
