CHAPTER 6

Joseph's View:
Seeing Amaka again, after four years of ending my relationship with her, makes my blood boil hot.
I try so hard to forget her, but it is the hardest thing I do.
My family must not be aware that I have an affair with a poor girl; although I break her virginity, that doesn't mean I must marry her. But nevertheless, she is the prettiest girl I have ever seen.
When Amaka walks into my office, my heart skips several beats that I gasp for air.
My jaw drops in surprise, but I swiftly compose myself when I see the shock on her face too.
Amaka is more than shocked to see me, but I switch to the stoic side of myself, maintaining my professionalism.
I have to pretend like I never know her, but my manhood keeps twitching in my boxers, longing for her wonderful touch.
"Um, have a seat," I gesture for her.
Amaka tries to ask me if I know her, but no way am I going back. I have moved on, and my father wants me to court a senator's daughter.
Her father owns several businesses and is a great philanthropist.
Her name is Nina Stanley. She is tall, pretty, and twenty-four years old. Guessed right. I lie to Amaka Richard about my age.
I am twenty-five years old when I meet Amaka. I am coming from the gym that day when I see her going home with her younger sister.
Amaka wears a short red dress, and seeing how beautiful she is in that body-hugging short dress, I cannot get her out of my mind.
Amaka comes from an average family and is easily gullible. When I approach her then, I am scared she will reject me if I tell her my real age, so I lie to her just to get her to date me.
I shower Amaka with gifts, but she is only thinking about marriage.
She wants me to marry her, an eighteen-year-old girl. I only want s*x, so that my body will calm down from the level of affect that she has on me.
I have no idea that my father is planning to relocate after his last successful business deal that makes him become more famous.
Dad discloses to my mother with me and my siblings that we won't be living in Palazo Town again, and we have to move to the island of the city, where he can afford a more luxurious and comfortable lifestyle.
This cuts my relationship with Amaka short as I would love to sleep with her again and again before I relocate with my family.
Amaka is heartbroken after I finally sleep with her. She delays us having s*x because she says she wants to keep her virginity until marriage.
She doesn't want to lose herself to just any man, and I do lie to her that I will marry her just to eat her juicy cake.
I am a twenty-nine-year-old man now, will be thirty in a month's time.
My father actually hands over this company branch to me after I prove my worth. While he continues with his new establishment on the island.
As for my younger brother, Aaron, he is twenty-five and has recently graduated.
Although Aaron has no interest in business and is into filming and skit-making, my father won't have that and wants to force him into managing the company branch, but Aaron doesn't care.
Well, now I am confused about what to do.
Seeing that questioning look on Amaka's face, I know that I have wronged her.
I recall she later calls me with a different number after I block her line and try to forget about her.
I recall that night Amaka calls me and tells me she is three months pregnant.
I am shocked, as I am at home with my mother.
Mom notices the change in my demeanor, and she tries to ask me what the problem is.
She asks, "What's wrong, Joseph? You look so tense like you heard bad news. What happened?"
"Nothing, Mom. Excuse me," I quickly retreat to my room on the top floor and make it clear to Amaka that we are over.
That is the worst day of my life as I feel so bad to cut her off.
I do warn Amaka never to call me again, saying, "Don't ever call me again, Amaka. We have s*x only once. You refuse me from touching you, so how can you conceive from that encounter?"
"But..." Amaka begins.
"No buts. I use protection, and I remember withdrawing from you when we make love again!" I state firmly to her. "Go on and look for who else you sleep with and pin your child on him and don't call me again."
Gosh!
The memory comes flooding back now, and I am confused about what to do.
Should I own up to the fact that I know Amaka Richard?
Should I tell her that I am sorry and that I haven't forgotten about her?
I am so confused, but seeing her smiling with Simon makes me jealous.
Amaka is beautiful, and she has a cute dimple on her chubby cheeks.
I cannot look away from her face, and I recall how heavenly it tastes kissing her pink lips.
"Sir, it is already 7 p.m., and most of the staff have left. Aren't you going home for today?" My head of security, Tyler Ivan, comes into my office and speaks to me.
"Alright. I will be going back home now," I say, rising from my office chair.
I shut down my laptop and pack it up to leave the company. I set it into my briefcase as I have some unfinished business to do.
My phone rings, startling me out of my trance. I pick up my phone from my office desk where I have kept it.
I glance at the caller's ID and see it is Nina calling me.
I get engaged to Nina last month because my father is on my neck insisting that I marry her, and there is nothing else that I am waiting for. We are rich, and likewise Nina's family.
Under my father's pressure, I verbally get engaged to Nina even though it isn't what I want.
Nina is a business administrator. She is very professional and manages one of her father's private businesses.
She is classy and not the type of lady to mess with.
I love s*x, and even after I fall out with Amaka and move over to the city, I sleep with a few women that I pay to do the do with.
Nina won't let me touch her as she says no s*x until we are married.
I respect Nina's choice, and since my father wants us to marry, I respect my father a lot as he comes from a poor background and works hard to achieve the heights that he is at today.
I cannot say no to my father's request. So I comply and engage Nina Stanley.
I don't engage Nina because I love her. I don't feel anything for her, but I do respect 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 that I have long buried and feelings of the past that I try so hard to forget come rushing back into my mind.
Even thinking about Amaka now—her smile, her looks, and the way her big brown eyes hold mine—makes my dîck twitch, longing for her touch.
"You can leave, Tyler. I will soon leave; let me answer this call," I say.
Tyler replies, "Okay, boss." He exits my office, and I answer my incoming call. "Hello, babe."
