I can take care of myself

Sky could finally breath well after Amaka and her gang left. She showed mister Akin the proposal and they talked for an hour plus, she could see the light in the man's eye and knew he would sign the contract but she had to be fast before the evil wife returns.

"As I was saying Mr Akin, the Mall will have nice scenery that will attract people, there will be a big aquarium in one side and a cascade at another side of the mall, am sure you are aware of Mr Jayden's love for nature."

"Yes I'm aware of that, good plan young lady, i must say you are good with your job and you too Mr Teffa," picking up the pen, he signed the contract.

Investors usually queue up to invest on Jaydite's Mall whenever it's open to investors but they decided to try something new this time, they had a plan for this mall and they wanted it to be special, to be the most talked about, this was her gift to Mr Jayden.

Smiling Sky thanked Mr Akin as she packed the documents on the table and handed it to Dwayne. Sandra decided to walk in at that moment... "Sweetheart I have been waiting for you....i miss you, aren't you done with her?" eyeing Sky she sat down beside her husband. "Can I take a look at the plan...."Sky looked at her rolling her eyes, as if she knew what a plan is, taking the file from Dwayne, she handed it to Sandra, "off course Mrs Sandra."

" Honey are you going to invest?"

"Yes I am, it's not really much of an investment, it's more like paying your rent for a few years before the mall is built." Her husband replied her..."I love the idea of a big aquarium and a cascade...."

Sky watched the couple, she knew Sandra didn't know what a cascade means... "Mrs Sandra dont you think a cascade will be beautiful in a mall and will attract people?" Sky asked smiling.

Sandra glared at her..."off course it will, it will be nice for a family to hang around in a cascade, and have fun, children playing different games and all..."she said. Mr Akin was embarrassed he looked down. "Mrs Sandra Dwayne said....it's not an arcade game it's a cascade, a small waterfall."

"Oh i thought I heard arcade...I just love games. Here you go .."she threw the file at Dwayne.

"We will keep you posted Mr Akin and have our finance department contact you..." standing up Sky said, "Thanks for your time." She said as she shook hands with Mr Akin "and oh...Jaydite is part owner of Palmera, so don't worry about the bill. Have a pleasant evening Mr Akin, Mrs Sandra." With that she turned to leave.

"let me walk you out Mena ....I still can't believe it's you." Sandra walked out with Sky and Dwayne. As they walked out of the Resort, the Valet handed Dwayne his key, Sandra hugged Sky and whispered in her ear...."I thought you were a saint. ...just who did you sleep with to get to this position? and don't you think the young guy beside you is too good for you?"

Sky hugged her back, tightly and said. "Not every woman is a whore dear and some of us like to use our brain, plus I don't need to sleep with any man to become great when I have my God and that reminds me....those rags you wore in school to seduce men were not cloths...learn how to speak to me and be careful what you say about me or else I will show your husband who the real Amaka Chimdi is...i still have proof."

Shocked Sandra pulled out of Sandra's embrace as she put a fake smile on her face...turning to face Dwayne she smiled brightly and shook hands with Dwayne. "Nice meeting you Mr Teffa, please take good care of our Mena." with that she walked away.

Dwayne held the door open for Sky as she got in, he walked over to the drivers side and got into the car. "That went well, Sky said breaking the silence, you did good Mr Teffa but what was the whole fiancee thing about?"

" I didn't like the way she talked to you and looked down on you. Dwayne replied ...I only wanted to help."

"Don't do that again Mr Teffa except I ask you too, I can take care of myself."

" Ok ma'am. If I may ask ma'am, was she really your friend in school?"

"We were friends for a while, she only became friends with me because I was intelligent .....seeing that I wasn't so much into the things of the world, after getting what she wanted from me she stopped talking to me and pretended not to know me and I did the same. I was surprised back then at Palmera when she welcomed me."

"Hmmm Dwayne said...I'm sure she hasn't changed much..." using his left hand to drive he held a card up for his boss to see.

Sky gasped as she collected the card from Dwayne.....it was Sandra's card with a call me written behind it...."Bitch she said,as she tore the paper into pieces. I can't believe she wants you even after knowing you are my fiance."

Dwayne smiled to himself as she tore the card, she was acting like a jealous girlfriend.....he was going to enjoy this ..but what he doesn't like is how he feels whenever he touches her.

"Please drop me at Mama Cass, Anton will come pick me up, I'm hungry and I want to be alone."

"Yes ma'am Dwayne said."

Hours later, Sky sat in the car as Anton drove home. She called her mom and thanked her for the food. The only thing her mom said through out the conversation was..."hope you are doing ok and don't forget about the date on Friday." Sky sighed as she ended the call. Anton put on the radio. Sky smiled as she heard her favorite musicians voice. It was a song by Adekunle Gold titled 'My Life'.

She looked out the window as she listened to the lyrics of the song. Sky was teasing Anton about getting married when she opened the door to the house and was welcomed by a nice aroma....she quickly looked at Anton who smiled brightly urging her to go check who's in the kitchen. Opening the Kitchen door Sky was shocked to see her elder sister. "Brianna she said, surprised.

"Welcome Brianna said, we need to talk."
