Gift gasped and widened her eyes in shock as Uche dropped the question again.

"will you marry me?"

She covered her mouth as the guests began shouting and cheering both of them. She just couldn't believe her eyes. She felt like she was dreaming inside a dream. It was heaven on earth. Finally, after a long pause, she spoke up.

"You insensitive jerk.....what sort of question is that?" she barked with a frown that immediately caused Uchennas heart to sink and others to turn pale. He held his breath for the worst.

"of course I'll marry you!!!" she exclaimed while jumping and clapping, causing he and everyone else to heave a sigh of relief. He grinned, and took her hand. He carefully slid it into her ring finger, on her right hand. He stood up, admist cheers of joy from the others.

"That's one one now. Next time, don't scare me like that again" she stuck out her tongue. He grinned and threw her arms around her, and she also hugged him tightly. Finally, after a while, he separated from her and their lips were locked in a passionate kiss.


Rose just sat at one corner, watching the whole scenario with a bitter heart. At first, she was excited when she saw Uchenna pretending to have a heart attack, but was immediately shattered again when she saw him pull out a ring and propose to her. Imagine! her worst enemy who she considered no better than a rag, was the one getting all this attention and now, she was engaged to the love of her life. All in one day! while she, the so called beautiful, popular and perfect rich girl was sitting at one corner, crying her eyes out. No love, no friend, no one to comfort her. She was all alone and miserable in life, as she believed.

While she was in the midst of her thoughts, she felt a shadow fall over her. She slowly look up and saw a sight she thought she had never seen before in her life. A breath taking figure.

He was tall, like really tall, almost as tall as a statue. One could even mistake him for one, with the way he moved his body unnoticeably. His skin was as dark as coal, yet it shone brighter than the sun. His muscles shot out, and his broad chest stood him out. His eyes were just divine, at it had this look that would make any sane woman fall on her knees. He was just....wow.

"Hey there lovely, would you like some company?" he asked in his perfectly deep pitched voice.

"No" Rose said plainly. The man was drop dead gorgeous yes, but she wasn't in the mood for any interaction now, talk more with a man. She was just too emotionally stressed to be charmed by a man like him.

"Are you sure, you don't look like you should be alone" he said as he sat down.

"Look at them" Rose said with her eyes fixated on Uche and Gift, who were dancing merrily. "Just look at how happy they are. Dancing, jumping around acting like lovers from a soap opera"

"You mean your sister?" he asked with a raised brow. She turned to him and smirked.

"Upon shes the one that ruined my relationship with the only man I ever loved....she's still the one that ends up happy. She's still the one that gets all the attention and love. She practically has my life now. And still yet, she still gets married to a Prince... a bleeping freaking prince....while I'm here, drowning my sorry self in alcohol" she raised the cup of alcohol in front of her to him.

"Wow, that's a pity. Well sorry for you girl, but if you know that she doesn't deserve to be happy now, why let her? Even the odds babe"

She narrowed her eyes. She nodded her head and smirked. "Say, you're right. Why should I let her be happy and joyful while im sad and miserable? no. I should let her feel what I feel now. I should make the game fair, right?"

"Just saying" he shrugged.

"Thank you so much stranger, I appreciate. cheers" she picked up the cup and walked out with a victorious smile.

"I'll always be there for you....Rose Okoye" he gave a smirk.

Book 3
Episode 1
Two years later...
He glanced at his wristwatch again as a black limousine parked in front of him. He removed his shades and a smile drew across his face. The exquisite car purred to the halt and the doors flung open. She gently placed her feet on the grounds of her mother land,like someone who didn't want to stain the tarred road of the airport. She stepped out gracefully,the winds blowing across her carefully moulded face. She hadn't changed much these past few years. A curved her lips upward when she sighted Luis walking towards her,his arms wide open.

"Alexis"he said in his husky voice and hugged her tightly. She gave him a gentle pat on the back.

"Luis"

"How was your trip?" He asked when he released her.

"Tiring as usual. I just need some rest now..."

"Antonio,buddy" Luis called to the tall, muscular and fair skinned Italian man, his green eyes, setting him out immediately. They gave each other quick hug.

"Nigeria seems like a nice place" he said in his weak itallian accent,due to prolonged exposure to the British.

"Oh you'll love it here Antonio,trust me" Alexis held his strong arms.

"Well I hope so. I won't be enjoying my little vacation if it turns out that things are not in place" they both turned to Luis.

"Oh I'm quite sure Luis has been doing the needful, right Luis?"

He gave an evil smirk. "Of course Alexis, I told you I wouldn't disappoint"
Alexis smirked and moved a little further. "I bet they thought they would live happily ever after after what they did to me. But I will make sure each and everyone of them pays dearly for ruining my life. This battle,has just begun........"


*****

"Common baby,you can do this,I trust you"

"I don't know Uche,I just have this feeling that I'm gonna mess up" Gift... sorry, Daisy said while placing her hand on her chest. Uche turned her to face him and placed his hand on her face. "Look baby, you have been preparing for this from day one. I watched you as you relentlessly practiced day and night, missing hours of sleep just for this moment. There's no way your gonna fail, do you know why?"

"Why?"

"Cuz you're one badass babe" they laughed and he planted a kiss on her lips. Soon, the door opened and George interrupted the moment.

"Eww,can you two please get a room?" He smiled

"Dad"

"They're ready for you Daisy,are you ready for this?"

"Yes Dad"she turned to Uche,"I'm more than ready"

"Perfect. Uche?"

He nodded and the three of them walked into the board room. She walked in front of the directors who were all looking at her sternly. She gulped hard, saying a silent prayer before dropping the files she had on the table. She saw her mum giving her a thumbs up. She gave a nervous smile. Finally,she cleared her throat and was about to speak when the door flung open.

"Sorry I'm late"Alexis said as she rushed into the room. George widened his eyes and gasped in horror.

"Alexis??"

"Yes darling?"

He turned to Susan who just kept staring at the devil that just appeared before them.

"What in Heavens name are YOU doing here?"

"Excuse me,am I not allowed to attend directors meeting which I'm clearly part of?"she rolled her eyes and sat down comfortably. George stood up furiously.

"What do you mean by that Alexis?"

"Oh you didn't know? Well let me explain to you love. I now own sixty five percent of the company shares,all thanks to my wonderful cousin here" she pointed at Luis who just gave a thumbs up. George turned to him with a blazing look.

"What is she talking about Nzeribe?"

"I sold my shares to her. Is there a problem with that?"

"Without my consent!!!?" He said,his blood boiling.

"Calm down George" Susan warned.

"Jeez George, I don't need your consent to make decisions for a company I clearly own" Luis rolled his eyes.

"Shut up! This is not your company!!" He barked and held his chest. Daisy and Susan ran and held him.

"Calm down George. You're over reacting. Have you forgotten that I saved this company"

"What do you want Alexis?" Susan finally asked.

"Nothing! I just want to participate in the companies activities,I'm I doing anything wrong?" She turned to the other board members.

"No Alexis,no way am I letting you into this company"

"That's your problem Georgie. Because if I pull out my shares,your piece of trash of a company is clearly ruined.so,it's your choice" she fake yawned before checking her nails.

"Mr George, maybe we should listen to the lady. It's obvious that she's the one holding this company together. If she pulls out then I do to, because I'm not ready to let my money go to waste" an investor echoed and other members nodded their heads and murmured in agreement. George looked at all of them before his eyes landed on Alexis who was still smirking.

"I can't believe this" he finally said before storming out, Susan following suit.

"Meeting annulled" Daisy said and rushed after her parents...

Episode 2
George kept his eyes fixated on the celling, wondering the sort of game fate was trying to play on him. He remembered one year ago, when the company suddenly became bankrupt due to unpaid loans and a defraud from one of the most trusted company workers. Stockholders were slowly pulling out their shares and His sweat and blood was on the verge of total collapse until 'luck' brought Luis Nzeribe their way. Luis bought most of the shares and repair the companies debt. Although he didn't trust Luis from the start,due to lack of information about him,he had no other choice but to sit him as a member of the board of directors. It never occurred to him that he was relatives with his worst enemy. He sighed and shook his head again.

He soon heard a soft tap on the door. "Come in" he said and Daisy walked inside with a smile on her face. Daisy. One of his greatest achievements ever since she came back into their lives. She had graduated with a first class honours in business administration and had proceeded to the United kingdom to do her master's. She was extremely bright and had greatly helped in the development of the company. He just wished he had got to spend more time with her.
"Sir, can we talk for a minute"

"Two years Daisy,and you're still referring to me as your boss. Is that not unfair my dear"

"Sorry..dad. Sometimes I can't help it."she grinned and played with her fingers shyly.

"I hope there is no problem. Come and sit down" he tapped on his king-sized bed and she came and sat down.

"None at all. I just wanted to ask about this woman, Alexis. Who is she to you?"

He sighed and sat up. He had been expecting this question since they returned home yesterday.

"She used to be my lover, before she dumped me and went for a wealthy foreigner"

She gasped in shock,"Oh my goodness. What does she want then?"

"She wants me back. It's either that or she wants to ruin me because I once rejected her advances"

"This is bad. But can't we do something about her before she succeeds in her plans?"

"It's too late. Too much is already at stake here,her removal will spell doom for us"

"I knew that Luis guy couldn't be trusted right from day one" Daisy said,folding het fists.

"Me too"he sighed and looked up"I just hope that whatever plans she has will not succeed....."


*****
She opened the door of her apartment and walked in. What a mess,she thought to herself. Her living room was a mess. She would have to call Flora her friend and tell her off before she causes the wife building to collapse one day.

She sat on the couch and brought out her phone. Eight missed calls from mum,the only person she ever kept in touch with in her family. She dialed her number and Susan picked up almost immediately.

"What's up mum?"she asked, walking to the fridge to get something to eat.

"Hi Rose"

She picked up her mother's sad tone almost immediately. "What's wrong mum? Has your husband been at it again?"

"Rose,mind your words. He is still your father"

"Correction mum,was. Remember he disowned me for that bastard of his daughter?" She asked as she took a sip of her chilled drink. Susan sighed on the other end. She didn't have the energy to start arguing with her daughter now so she just changed the topic.

"I have some bad news Rose..."

"What about? If George had a heart attack again then forget it,I'm not going to visit him"

"Alexis is back"Susan broke, ignoring her remark and she spat out her drink at that instant.

"What?!!!!"

"She returned the previous day. She's now sitting as a member of the board of directors....."

Rose cut the call at that instant and dropped the glass cup on the table. Alexis? She thought she had gotten rid of that bitch. This meant one thing. If Alexis was back then it meant that she was out to completely destroy her family and she couldn't let that happen...














Looks like she'd have to return earlier than she thought.

Episode 2 cont'd.
Finally,Daisy had succeeded in winning the heads of the investors. Although Alexis almost ruined things for her,things went to her favor and she secured a win

"Well done Daisy,i am so proud of you"George spoke to his daughter on the other end of the line.

"Thanks Dad,i couldn't have done it without your encouragement"

"Its alright. I'll leave you to get some rest now. Goodnight my dear"

"Goodnight Daddy" she smiled as the call ended. She removed her phone from her ear and saw a message from an unknown number. Curiously,she clicked it and it read,

"IF YOU REALLY WANT TO MAKE PEACE BETWEEN US,THEN MEET ME AT THE YOLANDA RESTAURANT TOMORROW BY 10:00AM. AND COME ALONE
-ROSE"

she gasped as she read the message over and over again. Rose was contacting her? After all these years? She thanked God that she was okay as she quickly made for her room...

Episode 3
"....but mum,you promised we'd go out today..." Little Victor whinned as he held his mothers hand. Daisy squatted and held his cheeks, "I know love,but mummy has somewhere very important to go to today. Dont worry,next week,i promise to take you out,okay?"

"That's what you always say...." He mumbled as he succumbed to defeat"

Daisy smiled at her 3year old bundle of joy. For his age,he was already pretty smart. He had his father's fair skin but his mothers eyes. He was one of the best things that ever happened to her after Uchenna.

She kissed him on the forehead and stood up. She turned and met Uchennas worried gaze.

"Dont tell me you're still worried about me going to see my sister?" She rolled her eyes.

"Im just being human. And I still think this isn't a good idea. What if its a trap? Why did she ask you to come alone? What if....." He was interrupted with a deep but comforting kiss from his wife. He grabbed her waist and drew her closer to him

"Ewwwwww,mom" Victor closed his eyes and the lovebirds separated immediately when they remembered their sons presence. They burst into laughter.

"Look honey,I promise I'll be fine okay? Stop worrying" she looked into Uchennas deep eyes. Finally,he sighed in defeat, "fine...but be careful okay?"

"I will" she pecked him and waved Victor goodbye before walking out.

Episode 3 contd
She arrived the restaurant some minutes past ten and now I was past Eleven,still no sign of her. She glanced at her watch again and sighed
"Maybe she was just playing me"she said as she picked up her bag and stood up. She kept some notes on the table and turned to leave when she saw the door fling open and a familiar figure walked in. She looked around and then their eyes met.

Rose had intentionally come late,just to piss her sister off. When she sighted her sister,it seems like all the memories of hatred came flooding in. She looked different now. She had gained more weight and her dark skin really shone. Everything on her smelt expensive and posh. She faked a smile and walked to her.

Rose had really changed. She looked like she had lost some weight. Her once glowing skin seemed to have faded away,and her eyes were really dull. Like someone who had seen the harsher side of life. Was this really her twin sister? Her former best friend?

"Hey sis" Rose said as she said down on the seat opposite her.

"Hi..Rose" she sadly replied as she slowly sat down.

"Boy,am i starved. Don't they have any food here?" She yelled looking around.

"You can order anything you want" Daisy replied,handling with her bag

Rose turned to her and smiled, "Isn't life ironic? Imagine. Ngozi,the poor and wretched village girl,is now the one treating me out. Unbelievable right?" She paused as she drew closer to her "Tell me,sister,how does it feel,living my life? Enjoying what is rightfully not yours. Tell me''

"Please Rose,can you not do this now? We just met each other after two years fir Godsake. Lets just pity ourselves...."

"Youre the pitiable one here im afraid. Because a tim will come when I will take back everything you ever took from me. But let's not go into that now. Right now,I need a favor from you,that is if you're willing to do it of course"

"I'll do anything to bring yiu back Rose"

She smirked,''if I told you to give me back my life,and go back to the garbage where you belong,would you do it?"she asked but she just looked away.

"Of course. I need you to help me get a job in dad's company. I'm made to understand that youre the of big wigs there?"

"Uhhh,sure. Did you bring your CV?"

"Oh please. You dont need my CV to ask something from him. After all,you are his favourite daughter"

"Youre wrong Rose,daddy loves you very much. Yet hes mad but he misses you and......"

"Are you going to help me or not?!!"

"I'll try..."Daisy looked down in defeat.

"Great. Good to know you're useful for once" she stood up and picked up her bag,"give me a call when you youve succeded. Goodbye"

She made to leave but Daisy held her back, "Please Rose. Cant you just forgiven me already?" She asked with pleading in her eyes. Rose looked at her and shook her head

"Unless you give me back everything you stole from me and get out of our lives..." She yanked her arm away"i will NEVER forgive you" she hissed before storming off.

Daisy dropped her hanging hand and didn't realize what the tears began flowing.....

"No..never. i will never accept that girl back into our lives after all the damage she caused. She made her choice of she can stick with it for all i care!!" George spat as he sat on the couch furiously.

"Dad please. Rose seems really repentant. I mean,why else would she want to work in the company?" Daisy asked though she knew she was lying about the repentant part.

"Or maybe,she's up to no good again. Forget it Daisy,I can do anything for you but the last thing I will do is to accept Rose into my company or into our lives!!' he stamped.

"And why is that George?" Susan suddenly asked. She'd been eavesdropping on their conversation all this while,and when she couldn't take it anymore,she came out and spoke up.

"Why can't you accept her in your company?" She asked again, "because she isn't your daughter anymore? Because she made some mistakes wish you caused in the past?"

"Don't criticize me Susan. Your daughter made her choice. She left for two years without a word. Tell me,what sort of daughter does that?"

"And tell me what sort of father disowns his child because of another one? Tell me George. Did you remember she was human when you blatantly told her she wasn't your child anymore? Did you?!!'' she asked,tears welling up her eyes by now. George turned away from her soul piercing eyes.

"I had no choice. She was determined to hurt Daisy, even at a special moment in her life. What would you have me do,huh?"

"I would have expected you to act like a real father and treat your two children equally,that's what!!!"

"Guys please stop!!" Daisy suddenly barked when the argument was getting heated up. She turned to George with tears in her eyes.

"Dad please. I know im the reason you disowned Rose. And i know you are really mad at her. But keeping her away from the family will only make things worse. Dad,please. I need to make peace with my sister" she pleaded. George turned to her and saw the sincerity in her eyes. He turned to Susan again. Finally,he sighed.

"Fine. Do as you wish. But if she does anything to hurt you again,then my hands are off!" He decleared before he stomped out.

Daisy heaved a sigh of relief and hugged her mum tightly,"it's okay mum...." She said while cleaning her eyes.

"Thank you Daisy...thank you..."
