Proud woman episode 2

(My special love story)


"Look here son, forget about the fact that you got rich after struggling, you came from an average living family and I want a daughter in law that can pound yam very well, can fall on her knees when she is greeting elders, can smile all the time, can gist with me and talk like someone with a heart of gold, nothing else. Don't bring those career women that don't have respect to this house ooooo. I have said my own oooo". His mother told him that for the five thousandth time.

He chuckled as he watched his mother say that again and again.

If he eventually propose to Rita and bring her to his home, he was definitely sure that his mother was not going to like her.

But what was he going to do?

He has had a crush on Rita David ever since he had been watching all the movies that she had written. And now that Allen Star had brought a deal for her, he was excited about it but he was definitely going to teach the ambitious writer a little lesson about humility.

Just a very little lesson even if the offer of marrying her was so enticing.

After relaxing on his bed, his phone rang.

He knew that she was the one calling.

He connected the line. "Hello?"

"This is Rita Anabel David".

"Oh, Rita, how are you?". He laughed in his heart because he knew that she felt like killing him that moment for calling him his first name just like that.

"So, what am i supposed to do to make you propose to me?".

"First thing is that you are going to visit my parents and introduce yourself as my girlfriend. Not fiancee, girlfriend".

"I have never been called a girlfriend of anyone before".

He shrugged. "How is that my business?".

She disconnected the line.

He laughed heartily.

It was fun.

Dealing with this proud woman.


I was so tired when I got home.

I took a shower and relaxed on the bed as I watched my maid arrange my clothes into my wardrobe. Myra was my best friend even if she was my maid. "I did the most embarrassing thing today. I called a man. He gave me his number and I was the one that called him". I screamed frustratedly.

Myra sat next to me on the bed. "Why?you like him?".

"Like who? Me? Never! Allen Star offered to pass his publishing company down to me only if I make Raymond propose to me and Raymond agreed to the deal. He wants me to convince him to propose to me".

"Whoa! Is it compulsory that you marry him or you just have to make him propose to you, that's all?".

I sat up on the bed impatiently. Myra's question made sense.

I tried to recollect what Allen Star had said to us back then at the hall.

Allen Star had not made it compulsory that I marry the lowlife, he just wanted him to propose to me.

The only thing I had to do was to make Raymond fall in love with me.

I nudged Myra. "What do you think I should do in this situation?".

"Study Raymond and his past relationships, then you will know how to deal with him".

"I already did that. He broke up with his last girlfriend because he caught her drinking alcohol. He had broken up with the one before this one because she had fixed black nails. He breaks up with people for stupid reasons because he is very stupid".

Myra squinted thoughtfully. "For him to accept this deal despite the fact that he has nothing to gain, does that not tell you something?".

I blinked cluelessly at her. "No?".

"Raymond might like you".

I licked my lips and nodded thoughtfully. "So are you telling me that this game is gonna be so sweet?".

"Seduce him. Make him see your charm and fall flat for you".

I winked at her.

My phone beeped.

It was an information from a news Network.

The president's son that I had rejected only a week ago had just proposed to someone else!!!

My heart was beating so fast.

It was not even a full week yet since I turned down the offer of meeting him.

I wouldn't allow him get married so fast!!!

I was never going to allow that.

I rose to my feet.

"Where are you going?". Myra asked me with a surprised glint in her eyes.

"To claim back what belongs to me". I walked out of the house and drove out of the compound in my car.

Fortunately, the two love birds were still at the venue that the engagement party was holding on when i arrived.

I ignored all eyes on me and walked to him.

I stretched forth my finger. "Engage me right now".

He gasped at me. "...but I have already engaged someone else".

"Elliot, I am coming back to you and you are telling me to my face that you have engaged someone else?". I loved the frightened look on his face. "Engage me too".

He gasped. "I should engage two ladies?".

"You are only engaging one lady and a side chick. She is your side chick and I am going to compete with her".

The people present were around us but they couldn't understand what was going on between us.


He made order right there for another ring and we stood right there waiting for it to arrive.

The lady walked towards me and glared at me. "What do you think you are doing?"

I ignored her and touched Elliot's cheek. "You picked her because I rejected you right?".

He nodded.

"How many days to go is the wedding ceremony?".

"Seventy two days".

I winked at him. "Seventy two days is enough then".

"What do you mean?".

"Engage me at Sound Life beach at two p.m tomorrow". I winked at him and walked away.

The next day, I waited just as planned at Sound Life beach.

I was elegantly dressed as usual.

It had hurt my pride when the president's son had proposed to someone else just one week after proposing to me.

I couldn't loose the game.

As I stood right there, I heard footsteps from behind and turned.

It was Allen Star and Raymond Anderson.

What were they doing at the beach?

How on earth did they know that I was there?

Allen Star cleared his throat. "What about our deal? Has it been cancelled?".

I sighed uneasily. "In the deal, you were not clear on if it must be compulsory that I and Raymond Anderson get married, you only said that the deal was about me making him fall for me and propose to me".

Raymond chuckled. "What if after the proposal, I decide to marry you?".

I rolled my eyes. "Raymond, hope you don't like me already, because this is just a game?".

Raymond cleared his throat. "You have the deal in your hands. You have to drop one person, either Elliot or me".

"I will definitely drop you".

"Then forget about the company". Allen Star cut in.

"If I marry Elliot, I will be able to get times two of your company". I defended.

Allen Star and Raymond burst into laughter.

"He can never get you the name it has acquired over the last forty two years".

Elliot approached us and brought out the box of ring.

He fell on a knee and opened the box of ring.

The beautiful diamond ring.

Oh my finger was salivating.

"Rita Anabel David, will you marry me?".
