CHAPTER 6
1248 Words
(Joseph's POV)
Seeing Amaka Richard again after four years of ending our relationship made my blood boil.
I had tried so hard to forget her, but it was the hardest thing I ever did.
My family could not find out that I had an affair with a poor girl. Although I took her virginity, that didn't mean I had to marry her. Nevertheless, she was the prettiest girl I had ever seen.
When she walked into my office, my heart skipped several beats, and I gasped for air.
My jaw dropped in surprise, but I quickly composed myself when I saw the shock on her face too.
Amaka was more than shocked to see me, but I switched to my stoic side, maintaining my professionalism. I had to pretend I never knew her, but my manhood kept twitching in my boxers, longing for her wonderful touch.
"Um, have a seat," I gestured to her.
Amaka tried to ask if I knew her, but there was no way I was going back. I had moved on, and my father wanted me to court the senator's daughter. Her father owned several businesses and was a great philanthropist.
Her name was Nina Stanley. She was tall, pretty, and 24 years old. Guess what? I had lied to Amaka Richard about my age.
I was 25 when I met Amaka. I was coming from the gym that day when I saw her going home with her younger sister.
Amaka wore a sleeveless red dress, and seeing how beautiful she looked in that body-hugging red dress, I couldn't get her out of my mind.
She came from an average family and was easily gullible. When I approached her then, I was scared she would reject me if I told her my real age, so I lied to get her to date me.
I showered Amaka with gifts, but she was only thinking about marriage.
Amaka wanted me to marry her, an eighteen-year-old girl. I only wanted s*x to calm my body from the effect she had on me. I had no idea that my father was planning to relocate after his last successful business deal that made him even more famous.
Dad told my mother and us that we wouldn't be living in Palazo town anymore and had to move to the island in the city for a more luxurious and comfortable lifestyle.
This cut my relationship with Amaka short, as I would have loved to sleep with her again and again before relocating with my family.
Amaka was heartbroken after I finally slept with her. She had delayed us having s*x because she wanted to keep her virginity until marriage. She didn't want to lose it to just any man, and I lied to her that I would marry her just to have her.
I am now 29 years old and will be 30 in a month. My father handed over this company branch to me after I proved my worth, while he continued with his new establishment on the island.
As for my younger brother, Aaron, he is 25 and recently graduated. Although he has no interest in business and is into filming and skit making, my father wouldn't accept that and wanted to force Aaron into managing the company branch, but Aaron didn't care.
Well, now I am confused about what to do.
Seeing that questioning look on Amaka's face, I knew I had wronged her. I recalled she later called me with a different number after I blocked her line and tried to forget about her.
I remembered that night Amaka called and told me she was three months pregnant.
I felt shocked, as I was at home with my mother. Mom noticed the change in my demeanor and asked, "What's wrong, Joseph? You look so tense, like you heard bad news. What happened?"
"Nothing, Mom. Excuse me," I quickly retreated to my room on the top floor and made it clear to Amaka that we were over. That was the worst day of my life, as I felt so bad cutting her off.
I warned Amaka never to call me again, saying, "Don't ever call me again, Amaka. We had s*x only once. You refused me from touching you, so how could you get pregnant from that encounter?"
"But..." Amaka began.
"No buts. I used protection and remember withdrawing from you when we made love. Go on and look for whoever else you slept with and pin your child on him. Don't call me again."
Gosh! The memory came flooding back, and now I am confused about what to do.
Should I own up that I know Amaka Richard?
Should I tell her I was sorry and that I hadn't forgotten about her?
I was so confused, but seeing her smiling with Simon made me jealous.
Amaka was very beautiful, and she has a cute dimple on her chubby cheeks.
I couldn't look away from her face and recalled how heavenly it felt kissing her lovely lips.
"Sir, it's already 7 p.m., and most of the staff have left. Aren't you going home today?" My head security, Tyler Ivan, came into my office and spoke to me.
"Right. I will be going home now," I said, rising from my office chair. I shut down my laptop and packed it up to leave the company. I put it in my briefcase as I had some unfinished business to do.
My phone rang, startling me out of my trance. I picked up my phone from my office desk where I had kept it. I glanced at the caller's ID and saw it was Nina calling.
I got engaged to Nini last month because my father insisted that I marry Nina, and there was nothing else I was waiting for. We were rich, and so was Nina's family.
Under my father's pressure, I got engaged to Nina even though it wasn't what I wanted.
Nina was a business student too. She was very professional and managed one of her father's private businesses. She was classy and not the type of woman to mess with.
I love s*x, and even after I fell out with Amaka and moved to the city, I had slept with a few women that I paid to do so.
Nina wouldn't let me touch her, as she said no s*x until we are married.
I respected Nina's choice, and since my father wanted us to marry, I respected him a lot as he came from a poor background and worked hard to achieve the height he has today.
I couldn't say no to my father, so I complied and engaged Nina Stanley.
I didn't engage Nina because I loved her. I don't feel anything for her, but I do respect her and her professionalism. It gives me a sense of peace that she will educate my children well and she's not a loose woman.
But now that I have seen Amaka Richard again, memories I had long buried and feelings from the past that I tried so hard to forget came rushing back into my mind.
Even thinking about Amaka now—her smile, her looks, and the way her big brown eyes held mine—made my dïck twitch, longing for her touch.
"You can leave, Tyler. I will soon leave; let me answer this call," I told Tyler, and he replied, "Understood, boss."
Tyler exited my office, and I answered the incoming call. "Hello, babe."
