A sugar baby

Sandra collapsed onto her bed, tears streaming down her face as she gazed at James' picture on her iPhone 14 pro max. The beautiful frame he had given her on her 25th birthday had fallen off the wall in her bedroom. Exhausted and overwhelmed, she reluctantly pulled herself out of bed, her tears still falling. She picked up the frame and stared at it, her weeping persisting.

"I used to believe that life was all about money and living a glamorous lifestyle, but I never expected to fall so deeply in love with someone like James. He was the last person I thought I would love, but now his father, my former sugar daddy, is preventing me from marrying anyone, including his own son. I thought being a 'baby girl' was the ultimate dream, but now I realize it's not. I can't settle down because of Otunba. If only I had listened to my mom," Sandra sobbed.

"Regret fills my entire life right now," Sandra said, her tears continuing to flow.

Sandra has achieved all her wildest dreams, now a powerful and successful businesswoman with a luxurious car and a stunning mansion. However, her sugar daddy is against her getting married. As her phone rings, she hurriedly answers to find James on the line.

"Hello, James," Sandra greets him with a soft voice, tears still in her eyes.

"Are you crying?" James inquires.

"My father won't allow us to marry," Sandra explains.

"Stay calm, love conquers all obstacles. We will find a way," James reassures her.

"What's your plan?" Sandra asks.

"I was thinking we could escape abroad," James suggests.

"Running away won't solve anything. We must face this together," Sandra insists.

"My father is stubborn, poisoning my mother against you," James reveals.

"It's all my fault, blinded by money," Sandra laments.

"I'll come over so we can talk. Stay strong, I love you," James declares.

"I love you too. Goodbye for now," Sandra replies, ending the call and placing her phone on the bed, reminiscing about her past.

Sandra stood in front of the mirror, twirling around in her dress. "This dress doesn't look right, I don't feel sexy enough," she muttered to herself. She hurriedly made her way to the wardrobe, running her hand over the clothes. Just as she was about to grab a crop top, her eyes landed on a black, backless, mini fitted gown. With excitement, she pulled it out and quickly undressed.

Slipping into the gown, she admired herself in the mirror and felt a surge of satisfaction. "I think this looks perfect for me, especially for Otunba," she whispered to herself. She walked over to her shoe rack and selected a pair of Gucci heels, the latest addition to her collection courtesy of Otunba's generous gift. The nine-inch strapless heels added an extra touch of glamour.

Grabbing her mini handbag and cellphone, Sandra cautiously peeked out of her bedroom. Seeing her mother engrossed in her bible, she silently slipped off her towering heels and tiptoed towards the door. However, her mother suddenly looked up and shook her head disapprovingly. Her voice echoed through the room, catching Sandra off guard and freezing her in place. Her mother's gaze scrutinized her from head to toe, clearly dissatisfied with her choice of attire.

"Where are you off to at this time of night?" her mother asked, a question Sandra dreaded. She knew her mother would inquire about her plans and she couldn't risk losing the money she stood to gain from spending the night with Otunba at the hotel. Panic washed over her as she struggled to come up with a believable lie.

"I... I'm going to visit my friends," Sandra stammered, meeting her mother's intense gaze. She quickly looked away, swallowing hard, hoping her mother would believe her fabricated story.

"Oh my gosh, Mom, when did it become a crime to hang out with friends and go to a party? I mean, come on, I'm already eighteen and perfectly capable of taking care of myself," Sandra argued.

"Seriously?" her mom replied, pointing at the wall clock. "Have you even checked the time?"

"Mom, can't you just keep up with the times?" Sandra pleaded.

"Mom, I'm gonna be late for the party. Please take care of yourself. I'll be back soon," Sandra hurriedly left the house, leaving her mom shaking her head in disbelief.

"Sandra has changed so much. She's not the same girl I raised with Christian values," her mom muttered.

Sandra is a girl with big dreams. She's always aspired to be a successful boss lady. She's beautiful, intelligent, and desired by many. She's willing to do whatever it takes to achieve her dreams. Coming from a middle-class family, she loves to enjoy life and she's fearless. She decided to take an Uber and head to a nightclub, where she unexpectedly met Otunba Adebayo Benson.

As she entered the nightclub, Sandra walked past the VIP section where Otunba was seated. Their eyes met, and Sandra made her way to the bar to grab a seat. She ordered a glass of wine from the bartender, catching Otunba's attention. Intrigued, he approached her at the bar to strike up a conversation.

"Hey," Otunba says with a smile as Sandra takes a sip of her drink and smiles back.

"You look so beautiful and attractive," Otunba compliments.
