Billionaires Broken Heart

Jemima

Jemima Yola is a 23 years old girl, measuring 1m65. She is a slender girl with a dream figure. Also, she has a very beautiful face, but she is not at all aware of her assets. She has never thought of herself as beautiful, because of the infirmity she has on her face.

In her early childhood, when she was only 5 years old, she was the victim of a domestic accident. While she was playing with other children in the neighborhood, she unintentionally pricked a nail in her right eye. She received no medical attention. A few years later, she developed blindness and divergent strabismus in that eye.

Jemima has been subjected to daily taunts and insults from people around her since childhood because of her eyes, which has resulted in very low self-esteem. For some, she has boiled eyes and for others she has the eyes of a witch...to name but a few.

When she became aware that her eyes were different from those of others, she decided that day to never look people in the eye again, because she didn't want to be laughed at anymore. She always isolated herself from others for fear of being insulted, belittled and chased away because of this eye defect.

Only Anaëlle has been her friend since childhood. This girl with a heart of gold has always been there for Jemima and doesn't hesitate to put in her place anyone who tries to make fun of her in her presence.

Having already reached the age of love, she does not lack the willpower. The fact is that she just doesn't think she's beautiful enough for a man to be interested in her. "Besides, what man would like to have a woman with witchy eyes by his side?" she regularly asks herself.

When a man usually approaches her to court her, she pushes him away without thinking since she is very ashamed of her eyes... Most often, she thinks that she is simply not made for love.

     No one can imagine how frustrating and painful it can be to carry a disability, especially when it is visible. Except, of course, for those who have it.

Because of all this, she is deeply heartbroken and sometimes feels like committing suicide, but she pulls herself together every time she thinks about her mom.

People are very cruel to her. In fact, even her fellow medical students who are supposed to bring a smile to the faces of patients later on, are the ones who hurt her heart through their taunts, insults and bullshit remarks repeatedly.

You know, you can be made fun of once and it's okay, but when it's done repeatedly and has been done since you were a child, life itself becomes a burden.

No one with a disability will ever find enough words to describe what they feel in their heart because of this and this is the case with this young girl. Every time she looks in the mirror, she bursts into tears because of this observed difference. She doesn't like herself at all and thinks she looks so awful

« Monday morning »

     Being already awake, Jemima rushes to get ready to go to the central hospital where she is currently in internal medicine internship.

   After sending a message to her loving mother to wish her a nice day, she enters her shower to take a bath. She comes out clean a few minutes later and picks up her big African dress that she is wearing.

She doesn't look at herself, she doesn't like to see the reflection of her eyes in the mirror.

She tries as much as she can to style her natural hair that has been blowing in the wind for about a month.

She then hastily takes her breakfast and looks in her bag to reassure herself that she has not forgotten anything. She exits her room, locks the door and starts walking briskly to the hospital.

   --- IN PARIS ---

       Caleb Williams

Caleb is a young orthopedic surgeon, 30 years old. He is the executive director of the Williams Hospital Foundation, located in Paris. French-Cameroonian with an exceptional physical beauty, Caleb is the kind of man that all women would dream of having, because apart from being handsome, he is full of money and has a heart on his sleeve. He is someone who knows how to care about the well-being of others. For him, the human being always comes before money. Nevertheless, he has never been lucky in love. Being from an extremely rich family, he has only been in a relationship with gold diggers. At the beginning, all of them are nice and seem to be perfect, but when he usually crosses the threshold of engagement, they show their true faces. This is the case with his current fiancee, Anissa.

Anissa doesn't want to do anything with her ten fingers since Caleb made her his fiancée. She spends all her time shopping. The only thing she knows how to do since that day is to squander her money. At first, she was the ideal girlfriend, but since she wears an engagement ring on her finger, she has radically changed. Her character over the past few months is causing Caleb to seriously question their marriage plans. More than anything, he wants a devoted, sincere and true woman like his mother and not a multi-faceted hypocrite. He has always wanted his marriage to be like his parents', because he believes in true love. Unfortunately, so far, love refuses to smile on him.

« Look, Anissa, if you think I'm going to give you my credit card again for your stupid stores, you've got another thing coming. For over 6 months now you've been refusing to work for some reason. You're really pissing me off and I'm sick of it » he said to Anissa who had just asked him for his credit card to go shopping.
