“Congratulations my son! I'm now a proud father in-law and soon-to-be grandfather!” Mr Benson exclaimed as he saw his son walk in, carrying a woman on his shoulders, wearing a dress which is only worn by women when they're about to marry. He wasted no time in posting on social media about his son's surprise wedding. Little did he know that Erica; the woman his son walked in with, was a total stranger Henry knows nothing about Erica was set to marry in less than twenty four hours when she caught her fiance making out with another woman– not just any woman but her junior sister! Still thinking if she should forgive him and go ahead with the wedding, she overheard her fiance communicating on phone, giving them some details about her that will aid in kidnapping her on their wedding day before she alights the church. Erica found a way to escape into thin air and she ran into Henry, who was just taking a walk by the poolside to ease the heartbreak he was facing. “Please, help me! In the name of God that you serve, just get me out of here.” Erica pleaded and her was granted. At the verge of losing his appointment at the peak of his career, Erica offered to sign a marriage contract of three years with Henry as an appreciation for saving her life. “Congratulations ma. You're two weeks gone!” The doctor told Erica when she regained consciousness after three hours of being unconscious. “Oh no! I'm in a big mess! Our contract is ending by next week and this was never part of our deal!” Erica lamented instead of rejoicing over the news of her pregnancy, wondering if to inform Henry or just terminate the pregnancy secretly. “Your blood is not a match sir. It will be good if you find her blood match with immediate effect because she's in a critical condition,” Dr Hanson told Erica's father, who wanted to donate his blood to save his daughter's life on the sick bed. After several investigations, Erica's father was shocked to find out that Erica wasn't his biological daughter. Erica's mother became disturbed. How will she explain Erica's paternity? How will Erica react when she finds out that her real parents were once servants in her father's house who were accused wrongly by Erica's mother hence ceasing their child from them?
"Please, make it snappy and be extra careful. I'll be at the airport, waiting for you," she said with a serious but calm look.
"What is she up to? Oh, I just hope my angel had not gotten herself entangled in any criminal act because of the hardships of this life," Aunt Kendy couldn't help but feel worried about Lila's nature of call.
Lila took a deep breath and squinted. Finally, this day has arrived. A day where she can dress and appear the way she wants. She lifted her eyes and looked at the tall building before her, admiring every feature of it. For the past three years, she had ceased to appear like the way she did today.
"I know today will not be the last, but I'll be coming here every day." She assured herself and navigated her steps to the HR office.
