Must Read: Deceit (A Short Story) By Amponsem Akosua - Season 1 - Episode 4

I sat down at my mini-bar sipping wine from a cup and thinking about Chuks. To me, everything seemed perfect about him, I started developing feelings for him ever since he told me about himself. Chuks was indeed down to earth, he seem to have everything I crave for in a guy, handsome, fair, modest, caring and respects me and infact he is man enough because he doesn't allow my wealth to intimidate him. He visited my house 4 times in those 5months of our friendship. So I sat down imagining what a future with him will be like, having my kids for him. I haven't felt this way in a long time but I can't bring myself to tell him about my feelings(trynna protect my ego).
Chuks decided to mark 6months of our friendship. I chose one of my restaurants for the event. The day came real faster than I had anticipated. I went for a simple a yellow sleeveless long dinner gown, a black ankle strap shoe and a small black channel purse, checked myself out in the mirror and I was satisfied with what I saw. The yellow gown really complemented my chocolate skin colour. Even though my dress was simple I made sure he would not resist me.
What I met made me speechless. A cake was delivered to our table, and our orders were taken unknown to me that he had got everything covered. After so much chitchat we both cut the cake, he gave me a portion and I was about using my cutlery when I felt something metallic is in the cake. With anger I called on the waiter who brought the cake and started ranting, chuks was just looking at me. I wanted to flare up but I calmed down when I felt his touch on my hands.

"Adeola, will you make me the happiest man by becoming my wife and the mother of my kids?"
