His pride- The African mate

The heir

Kingsley P.O.V

Everyone believed that I am the luckiest man in town. being the only son to a multi millionaire is a huge position that comes with huge responsibility.

I never had a normal childhood like other children. By the age of seven, it was decided that I would have a degree business studies in an already decided higher intuition in this country. I had always wished to travel to the U.S.A for my University like other children from rich families but my father will not permit.

My father had the opinion that children who travelled abroad to further their studies, usually gets carried away by peer influences and consequently end up disappointing their parents.

That had never stopped us from spending most summer holidays in my father's house in Philadelphia.

I however, spend every other holiday and free time working for my father, mostly at the head office in V.I, where I do all sorts of work like office assistant, secretary, receptionist and more. Dad believe I need to have variety of experience in other to be a better CEO some day.

My father choose Federal Polytechnic Oko for my business studies. owing to the fact that they have the best school of business studies and Mass communication in Nigeria. After my degree, I was allowed to go to London for my masters. I made lost of friends in London and also had flings with girls over there.

I also met a friend and business partner Mr Xavier Rayne. we were then in same masters class although he owned multi billion companies around the world at such young age. Although he acts weird and goes awol from time to time but he is a nice guy. His influence has gotten me some London business partners for which my dad is very proud of me.

currently, I am twenty- right years old and already in charge my father's company at Abuja. My dad is still actively involved in the running of the business but I make most business decisions.

Abuja is a beautiful town, with lots of side distractions. I am not the type that mix business with pressure. I take my work serious. That is why at the age of twenty-four, I have successfully sealed many business deals and won so many contract and connections for the company.

No wonder I was named the youngest business don two years ago.

However, being rich and popular comes with it's own temptations which most times, I am glad to indulge.

Being the heir to Obikoson international group of companies, all girls proudly throw themselves at me.

Every man needs s*x from time to time and when it is offered frequently, well, who am I to say no?

Abuja offers the best variety of night life so after the days work, I visit one restaurant or club depending on my mood to relax and maybe find myself a babe for the night.

I don't believe in the relationship s**t. Nah, not my thing. Every lady I come in contact with, already knew who I am so they usually are interested in the money and gifts I can offer. I know I am handsome and all, but I am no fool to think that they love me. I am ok with that because, I don't need any clingy girl by my side in the name of love.

It was Friday night. After work, I had returned to my dublex in Maitama. my father owns many of these in different cities and states where our companies are situated. our business head office is in Victoria island, Lagos, hence, my parents live in one of the duplex at ikoyi Lagos.

My dinner was already prepared by our cook, madame mercy, a Calabar lady in her late forty. she works as cook and house keeper.

thanks mercy I said after enjoying the delicious pounded yam with nsala soup she presented for dinner and a glass of fresh grape juice. please tell Akpan that we will be leaving by 9pm for the club.

I preferred going with one of my drivers to a night club or any night outing because I am usually wasted and busy with my female conquest on the way home. besides I hate the idea of driving after taking alcohol.

I, then decided to call my baby sister Julie before heading out. it's been a week since we spoke last. she is one of my true friends because, she is the only one I can conveniently confined in. I don't lack friends though because both male and female friends surrounded me regular. but Julie is the only person I could open up to whenever I need to.

she knows the true me, my pains and my weakness. To other people, I am a carefree, business minded and hard working wealthy guy.

she picked at the second ring. xup big bro she scream. that's my sister, loud and jovial. she will always lift your spirit no matter how down you are. I couldn't help the broad smile on my face

xup you? so because you are now in school you forgot your big bro.

hahahaha. you are not serious. do you ever think of your baby sis. she replied. I can imagine her face, I know she is pouting.

not like that darling, you know you are the best sister in the whole world. work has been tough these days but you are

are top on my mind.

hmmmm, I know bro. I wish you luck bro. make dad and mom proud and make a name for yourself. As for me, you will always be my hero.

thanks Julie. how is school generally? hope no boy is disturbing you? I need you to face you studies now this final year.

Boys ke? after my experience back home and the way you treat girls. I am officially done with boys and men whatever.

I chuckled at that. her first experience at love had been a failure. the bast**d even had the got to make out with Rita in my house.

To think that my sister had been trying to hook me up with Rita. eww, that sl*t. Although she is definitely pretty with curves in the right places but I never liked her. I admit that Rita is a pretty girl, don't get me wrong but she is too flirty for my liking.

kings, kings, are you still there? my sister called back my wandering mind.

yes what did you say?

speak to my roommate. she must have said that before when I was in my wandering thoughts

ok, give the phone.

That was when I heard the most angelic voice I have ever imagined. Hello? it sounded like a question and at same time it sounded like a greeting

wow! was all I could say.

There was this lingering silence. Both of us waiting for the other person to speak first. I had never been at lost for words in the presence of a girl. but that voice...God! was something else.

hello, how are you? she spoke at last

I am fine angel. what of you?

fine she said giggling.

I have heard a lot about you from Julie but its beautiful to finally hear the voice behind the beautiful pictures she has been sending on w******p.

she giggled some more. I have also heard a lot about you too .

hope to meet you soon. Hope you will come to Abuja for your national youth service program.

I hope so too but I have no relation over there.

But you are my sister's best friend so we are family don't you think so?

Yea we are but I wouldn't want to over burden you guys.

Who ever gave you the idea that you will be a burden to us?

No one. thanks for the offer though. I should give the phone to Julie now

no no no please keep talking, I am in love with your voice.

what? I heard Julie's scream at the other end. say that again she taunted .

mind your business Julie, give the phone back to Amanda.

No you will scare her. thank God I was already with the phone when you started your flirting.

who said I was flirting. I was saying the truth. her voice is like that of an angel.

please don't mess with Amanda, she is not one of your girls

hmmm. I chuckled. let's see how it goes.

Kingsley! I warn you she threatened.

hahahaha. I laughed in response. bye little sis.

Bye big bro. thanks for the call

pleasure is mine. I answered cutting the line.
