PROLOGUE

Sitting at the front of a dressing mirror admiring how beautiful a bride-to-be she is, dressed in a yoruba attire Iro and Buba made from the best fabric she could lay her hands on, with a matching Aso-oke as the gele and ipele, a moderately applied make-over to enhance her beauty perfectly. Waiting to be called-on into the hall where the traditional wedding is to take place. She checked herself again in the mirror to see how concealed the scar on her right cheek is. She smiled and sighed afterwards, she smiled seeing that the scar won't spoil her wedding pictures. She sighed at the thought of how the scar got to her face.

CHAPTER 1

Luisa was given admission into one of the prestigious universities in Nigeria to Study Business Administration. Being a Novice, she had to ask people who are already in the system to put her through somethings. That was when she met Soji, A 300level student of Business Administration which means they are in the same department. She was on her way to her department to exchange some bank tellers for receipts when a Blue Toyota Rav4 horned and pulled over right at her front. She was startled at the sound of the horn as she was not in anyway obstructing the vehicle from going its way, She was at the same time pissed with a frown on her face waiting for an explanation for what the had done.
Luisa's ebony black hair flowed over her shoulder to adorn her hourglass shape, an honey-like complexion and her greenish brown eyes framed by long lashes, with a pair of arched eyebrows. Her averagely long legs brings out the beautiful shape she's blessed with. One of her physical attributes is that she's not a fan of make-overs. Even though she was pissed at the attitude of the person who drove the car she couldn't hide her bubbly and sophisticated personality.
The driver of the car alighted with an apologetic but still a persuasive look but he was astonished at what he saw. Luisa's wore a black sleeveless short velvet gown that is as long as above the knee, the gown really fitted her curves, exposing some fantastic colour of her skin, the gown was complemented with a red stiletto and a red channel hand bag.

"Excuse me young man" Luisa's voice jacked him back from wherever his ogling thoughts might have carried him.

Hope say u don arrange high table for me

yes ooo table wey get refreshments don dey for you

"I'm sorry damsel, I didn't mean to startle you that way" he said alongside stretching his hand for and handshake to introduce himself to her formally, she hissed, still not satisfied with the guys manner of approach, she kept a straight face. He noticed she was not still interested and so he dropped his hand and continued, Soji is my name, A 300 level of Business administration. She nodded sarcastically and made a gesture pointing at her wristwatch. She knew she was running late for where she was going, she needed to submit the bank tellers and head to her next class. Soji asked to give her a ride but she declined

"Mr Soji thanks but I won't be needing your drive and as to your apology, it has been accepted" she said as she made her way to the department, soji who was still would be that beautiful and mannered said to himself, "this is not going to be our last meeting, I definitely would still meet her some time soon"

He was right afterall, that wasn't their last meeting, he waited till she was through with her class for that day, it was already 5pm, she ran in to soji who was already waiting outside the lecture theater for her, she instantly returned to her face the frown she had put on earlier that day when he had first met the 'arrogant' Soji. He was not bothered as he returned the frown with a smile on his face and asked if she could spare some minutes of her time, she gave in but after 10minutes of Soji doing the talking Luisa still didn't contribute to the conversation. He noticed she was not in the mood for the conversation so He requested for her mobile number which she gave to him knowing she won't respond to his calls.
"do you mind me knowing your name at least"
She gave a sarcastic laughter and told him her name is Luisa. Soji had initially thought it was a lie but decided to accept it as her name.
"its 6pm already and I will like to take my leave" she told him.
Soji didn't bothered to offer a ride this time because he knew for sure she would decline it, Moreso he now has her number. Luisa who lives off campus headed straight to the Bus stop to take a bike to her apartment.

****

Luisa was still in bed when her phone rang, it was 5:30am and she wondered who the caller could be, it was a number she doesn't have on phone she answered the call thinking it was Soji but it was a female voice telling her she has to be in school before 6:30am for the registration of a particular course because the registration ends that day. She thanked the caller and hung up, rushed to the bathroom to do the necessary things and she was ready for school by 6:15am, she got to prof Ige's office by 6:30am on the dot. Over hundred students are already there waiting for the man. Within the short period of time she had spent in that school she has come to know that Prof. Ige is a no nonsense and disciplined man, if he chose to do something nobody not even the management can reverse his verdict. he had told them that any one who refuse to register the course personally with him will come back for the course the following session. Prof arrived his office by 7am and the registration commenced, after waiting on the queue for over two hours, it still wasn't her turn.
The registration is becoming exhausting to her and she dare not leave the place, a text message came into her phone it read thus "LOOK BEHIND YOU" the message sender was unknown but she managed to look at who the person was. She saw Soji smiling sheepishly at her gesturing at her to come, to her utmost surprise she left where she stood to meet Soji. Without much ado he offered to help her with the registration this time she didn't decline but rather accepted the offer before he changed his mind.

Soji is a young man in his early 20s, he had initially studied law in that same university though he was obliged to follow everything his father tells him because he was underage and couldn't make decisions for himself so after graduating as a lawyer he went back to the same school to study Business administration which is the course he has always wanted to study. Soji is a genius, even though he is handsome no Coursemate of his dare contend with him academically. He is known and respected by the lecturers and professors in his school and this gives him free access to their office anytime.

Soji held her hand and they went to Prof's office. Prof was very happy to see Soji and offered them both seats.
"to what do I owe this visit soji" prof said
"I'm here to help this friend of mine with her registration" he said pointing at Luisa.
Prof looked at her and she bowed in a way of salutation, He smiled at her and then commenced the registration. She was done in less than 5minutes, she thanked Prof and went out, soji stayed behind to appreciate Prof for his help. Students on the queuing were already eyeing Luisa and she knew she dare not pass through them so she went through another exit. She stayed beside Soji's car to wait for him, at least to thank him, after 10minutes of waiting she saw him coming, she wondered what made him took such a long time before coming out, she would have frowned but she dare not because he had helped her so she feigned a smile.
"thanks soji I really appreciate what you've done for me this morning" she said
"I'll do anything in my might to keep my friend happy" he said and they both laughed.

"do you see me as a friend at all?" he threw the question at her.

"uhmmm... wh...why asking such a question, we are friends you know" she said.

"No, I aren't forcing myself on you please" he said with a frown.

"I'm sorry Soji, I don't mean it that way, you know I'm a newbie in this school and I wouldn't want to be too foolish, I don't want to fall into wrongs hands as I've heard a lot about tertiary institutions."

"can you have lunch with me today, 1pm" he asked her.

With the look on his face she knew she just had to say yes and she has no class that afternoon not until 4pm.

"okay, where is the venue" she replied

"at my place"

She raised her brows at the sound of "at my place"

"I'll come pick you up by 1pm at the school bus stop" he said heading to his car.

"....I will have to becareful because I have no idea what he has got in stock for me"
