                  CHAPTER 13 Different thoughts started surfacing on Dayo's mind. "Where did she go wrong? What could have come upon Kunle? Or did the lady hypnotise him? Has he forgotten all they had been through? Has he forgotten she was the only one there for him when he didn't have a job and nothing was coming forth? Has he forgotten how it all started? How it took him months before he could have a place in her heart? Has he forgotten they both prayed for the job? Has he forgotten all the promises they both made to each other? What will she tell her family and friends? That her fiance dumped her when it was just a few weeks to the wedding?" These were the questions going through Dayo's mind as John was driving. John kept on stealing surreptitious glances at her. He wondered how broken she must be and all that could be going through her mind. He wished there was something he could do to ease her pain. He almost choked on the apple ...

  CHAPTER 12 Dayo rolled on the bed all night. She kept getting up, checking the time, going into the kitchen to get water and coming back to bed. She just couldn't get herself to sleep. She practically joined the household pests to keep vigil. She just couldn't understand what could have gone wrong with Kunle. She got scared when a thought ran through her mind. "Maybe he has been kidnapped" She got up again and paced the whole room till her knees started aching. She sat on the edge of the bed and held her jaw with her hands. She picked her phone and tried calling again maybe she will get a better luck this time. ************************************** Feyi looked beside her and smiled. It took days for her to be able to convince Kunle to sleep beside her. All along, they've been sleeping in different rooms, even though Kunle made it clear he's not going to touch her, seeing him snore beside her is enough joy. Feyi suggested they both relocate to ...

                   CHAPTER 11 "So you mean you've not heard from him since last week" Bola said immediately she got to Dayo's place and dropped her bag. She didn't even utter a word of pleasantry, she's just too bothered. "Yes. I try his number every day, it rings but nobody picks up, then after a while it goes off and i won't be able to reach him till the day ends. It's been like that since last week now. I've been to his place 5 times this week but there's no one in the house. Even his neighbors don't know his whereabouts". Her hands were on her jaw as she sat on her cushion chair. She looked so unbalanced. Everything about her said it all. It's just a month to the wedding and Kunle is nowhere to be found. Bola managed to sit beside her and took the same position without saying a word for few minutes. "Have you checked him at work?" Dayo suddenly removed her hands and looked up. ********************...

CHAPTER 10 Kunle drove into his compound few hours later, and bowed his head. Dayo never stopped calling and he never stopped ignoring her calls. He got out of the car and walked to the entrance of his bachelor flat. His face looked like that of someone coming back from a funeral - pale and worn out. The surprise that met him as he entered was nothing compared to the guilt he was feeling inside of him. He saw Dayo sleeping on his couch, she must have used the spare key he gave to her to gain entrance into the house. It was getting late and he knew she must have been there for long, waiting for him. He wanted to walk unnoticed into his room just to avoid having a discussion but he was too late. Dayo opened her eyes one after the other and sat up. Kunle was still standing by the door. He would have opened the door more gently if he knew she was there. "Welcome dear" she scratched her neck. He faked a smile and replied, still standing on the same spot. "Are you...

  CHAPTER 9 "Are you sure that's all?" Kunle made a stop and turned around just to meet the scorching gaze of Feyi. He tried looking elsewhere but his eyes kept meeting hers. "Uhmm......Yes.... Ma" he stuttered  She sighed, then playfully picked up a pen lying on her desk. "Well, i don't think so" she paused, expecting Kunle to talk then she continued when the latter was just feeding his eyes on the lifeless objects in the room. "Your facial expression says otherwise" Kunle was still in the same spot looking around. Feyi pressed her lips against each other and gave him a long look with a lustful thought going through her mind. "This guy is really handsome. Look at his broad chest. Dad could really be funny. How in this world will such a guy be around me without falling for him" She scoffed and rolled her chair. Kunle too was having a thought simultaneously. "What exactly is she expecting me to say. This...

  CHAPTER 8 After church service the following day, Kunle decided to branch at his friends' place since their church ends service an hour before his. He hasn't seen them since the day they both came to his place. He arrived at the mini duplex owned, among all other properties by the twins' father. He had given the house to both of them after their return from Europe. Kunle maneuvered into the compound and parked his car in the parking lot made of strong metal poles and canopies. As a close friend and practically a member of the family, Kunle bumped in without a decent knock. "Aha! Kunlex bobo!" John hailed as he stood up from where he sat, playing a soccer game. "How far na?" "I dey jare" they shook hands and hugged. "How service today?" Kunle sat and started removing his shoes. "Chai! Which kind smell be dis na?" said Philip jokingly  as he came out of the kitchen. He went straight to the window to open them...

         CHAPTER 7 Kunle stylishly dropped his phone. He didn't want Feyi to have the slightest idea about Dayo getting angry. He couldn't even get himself to tell Dayo the reason why he couldn't make it and Dayo was too angry to ask. He had called Dayo on his way to drop Feyi after the mechanic left with the cab Feyi ordered. "Trouble in paradise?" Feyi asked Kunle smiled but didn't reply. "I seem to be the cynosure of misunderstanding between you two recently. I'm sorry" "You don't have to. She has no idea i cancelled because of you" "Ooh okay" she paused, then continued "Well, i know i haven't been particularly friendly to you for some days now and i can't help but feel unworthy for the inconvenience I'm causing you" she said solemnly "You don't have to feel that way Ma. You are not only my boss, but also a lady and it's rude to leave a lady stranded"  Kunle re...

Chapter 6 It took Kunle and Dayo a week to finally settle the misunderstanding they had. Kunle had to apologise since Dayo believed she did nothing wrong. Things went back  to normal as usual, even though their wedding date is still out of sight. "What exactly are you waiting for?" Dayo's mother blotted out angrily on the phone. She had called Dayo very early that morning and asked how far they are with their wedding plans. She flared up when Dayo told her there are no visible plans yet. "Mummy, we are on it" she tried to calm her down. "For how long? If you people need help, you should carry the whole family along. By the way, what is Kunle's parents doing about it" "I don't know mummy. Kunle hasn't told me anything yet......" "At least, we should have done the introduction by now"  she cuts in  Dayo sighed "You people must start making plans. At least Kunle can't give the excuse of not havi...

                CHAPTER 5 "How dare he agree with his rude and arrogant boss that i look like a maid! I graduated with a first class in business administration for crying out loud! I'm the personal assistant to one of the most influential and successful men in the country. I've been to different countries for business meetings with my boss and I'm........." ".......then look the part!" Bola cuts in aggressively. She's been listening to Dayo ranting and blotting since she came back from Kunle's place. She didn't even reply her greetings before she started narrating all that happened angrily. Dayo kept quiet for some seconds before uttering another word. "What did you say? Don't tell me you are also supporting Kunle and his boss" she's obviously still angry and was ready to pour it all out on Bola if the latter isn't careful. "I'm not trying to be on anybody's side here. I'm just being hone...

                     CHAPTER 4   A thunderous noise erupted inside his head immediately his feet reached the floor, he knew immediately that it's as a result of him not sleeping well. "Who exactly could be knocking this early on a Saturday?" he grunted angrily. He hates being woken up so early especially 'on a Saturday'. He walked sluggishly to the door after putting on a shirt to cover his broad hairy chest. The person kept on knocking and later created a rhythm with it. "This person is really having fun with knocking on my door sha, let me even see who it is". He opened the curtain halfway to peep. "Feyi?!" he exclaimed ************************************** "Wake up jhor, naso you go dey do". Bola stretched one more time before she opened one eye sluggishly. "Where are you going so early this morning?" "To Kunle's house. I've been trying to call him but his phone is off and I'm...

CHAPTER 3 "That was such a wonderful presentation Kunle, i am so proud of you" Chief Olasanmi said with a radiant smile on his face as he shook hands with Kunle. They had just finished a board meeting in which Kunle made a presentation to the board members about the next project the company was going to embark on.  Kunle kept on checking Feyi's countenance throughout his presentation and he found out she was the only one not fully in support of his ideas. Her index finger was on her lips throughout his presentation despite the fact that the rest of the board members were glaringly in support of Kunle as they kept on nodding in agreement. His confidence dropped each moment his eyes caught Feyi's but he managed to scale through especially with the full backing of her father. ************************************** "That was a job well done" Kunle had just finished talking with some members of the board when he suddenly heard that voice behind him...
