since williams knows he wont be convinient aroud amoge,plzzzz tell him to leave nicky and find sumone else,or else,he would ruin a happy family for arinze and amoge.

Nicky freed herself from his grip and ran down the stairs. She picked up her purse and ran out of William's house.

She ran to the closest bus station and picked a ride going to the hotel.
William went inside the house when she ignored his calls.

Nicky got to the hotel room which she shared with her younger sister who was already fast asleep .

Nicky went into the shower to have a hot shower. The hot water which flowed from the top of her shower cap, mingled with her salty tears and flowed out through the drainage.

The bath was refreshing although her heart still ached.She laid down on her bed. Nicky struggled to keep the tears from flowing. The memories she shared with William kept flooding her mind.

She remembered Adanna's warning to her about guys . Nicky cried herself to sleep.

She woke up early the next day and went to Adanna's house. She avoided confiding in any family member because she didn't want to complicate issues for Amoge or William in the future.

Adanna took her into her room. "What's the problem Nicky?, you sounded so troubled over the phone ",she said to her.

"Ada I should have listened to you.William dated my brother's wife when he lived in Nigeria",she replied.

She narrated everything that happened to her friend with tears in her eyes.


" I don't know which is worse;the fact that he hid their relationship or Arinze's hatred for him.I am so confused Ada", she said to her.


"Hmmm, I must confess it's an awkward situation to be

in.It is true that he hid some things from you but I

equally know that William loves you. Don't throw away

your beautiful relationship with him because of your

sister in law who is happily married, Ada replied.

"How will I be able to trust him in the future? ", Nicky asked.

"One step at a time dear. Just don't take any drastic action yet" she replied.

Nicky cleaned her eyes and said " I think it might be too late because I kind of ended it with him yesterday".

"Relax Nicky, you can still straighten things out with him.Let me make a cup of coffee for you okay", Ada said to her.

Amoge woke up in the arms of her husband. "Good morning love" she said to him. "Good morning! ", he replied with sleepy eyes.

"I am truly sorry for making you feel sad yesterday", Amoge said to him.


"You know that it's you that I love. I choose you a million times. Don't ever forget that.It was just strange seeing William after a long time, besides things didn't end well between us", she said to Arinze.


"You should consider giving Nicky a chance to date William after all I am cool with it ", she said.

"Babe , I am also sorry for the way I spoke to you. I became angry when I saw the guy who kissed you on that faithful morning. I became jealous. I know that you once loved him.Seeing you act so quietly in his presence made me doubt your love for me.I would have been stupid to keep quiet when a man who probably still loves my wife wants to marry my sister" he said to Amoge.


"What are we going to do? .I don't even know if Nicole knows about William and I", Amoge said to him.

"Let's give him time to open up to Nicole first. I will speak with her about it whenever the time is right" he replied her.

William was devastated. He sat on the floor of his bedroom thinking about Nicky.He had already made plans to propose to her .He was always waiting for the perfect time .


A perfect getaway for the both of them was his desired plan to propose to a lady like Nicky or so he thought.

"Now I have lost it all" he said to himself.

He stared at the jewellery box which contained Nicky's engagement ring with bitterness in his eyes.

He thought of several ways to reach Nicky because she refused to pick his calls.

He hurriedly picked up his laptop and went to the inbox of his email. He remembered that he exchanged a few mails with Amoge in the past.


William typed a message to Amoge. "Please we need to talk about Nicky. Can you send me your phone number?
".
Amoge received a mail alert on her phone as she was shopping in the mall with Arinze and his family.

She read the mail and wondered if all was well with Nicky. Amoge quickly gave him her number and called Nicky's cell phone number.

"Hi Nicky, I hope you are okay? .We need to see as soon as possible. Where have you been all day? ", she asked .

Thanks o

Gbam! I said it, see am now e don happen.... thumbs up Doc!👍👍👍👍

Williams is a good man. If I were to be in his shoe, I wouldn't have let the cat outta the bag like that. He needs some time to gel with Nicole before revealing such a big secret to her. I hope Nicole will give him another chance while Arinze should let the two love birds to be.

Yeah, that's why he kept the secret when he saw Amoge's wedding pictures in Nicole's room months earlier. Let's see how the story would unfold. Lol
Thanks dear

@Timileyin...for to have said diz; dat is u can do lyk yc... I believe relationship should b open, no secrecy....

Interesting....l

Cough... Cough.. Cough...

I think I am not feeling fine... I will need Doc. Ogo to check me... I assume she is a doctor as her name implies...

Seriously, William should have told her everything immediately he saw that picture. Why hide it??
Why pretend??
Pretending is almost the same as lying.

You loved her?
She loves you?
You both know this..
Then what is the rationality for lying??

The secret of a long lasting relationship /marriage apart from LOVE... Is HONESTY.
Send the ball of truth to her court and let her decide what to do with it..

They might end up getting married as the story unfold but one thing is sure... Never lie as something sensitive.

HUMILIATION doesn't matter.. TRUST does!

"Hi Nicky, I hope you are okay? .We need to see as soon as possible. Where have you been all day? ", she asked .

" I am fine . I am busy with my packing,I moved most of my things to Ada's house so that I can travel with you guys to London tomorrow" , she replied Amoge.


"Can we meet when you return to the hotel? ", she asked Nicky.

"Okay ! See you later" she said to  Amoge.

Amoge concluded with her shopping and went back to the hotel. Arinze went with Jidenna to visit an old friend of his.

She decided to rest on the bed and order room service because she was very tired.

Amoge received a text alert on her phone from William which read; "is this a bad time to call you?".

"Not at all! I hope all is well?" , she asked William.


William called her immediately, after the initial exchange of pleasantries, he told her that he had been dating Nicky for a while.

"William am sorry to interrupt but l need to ask you a question. Are you really serious about Nicky or are you just going to play with her emotions like you did in my case?" , she said to him .


"I am truly sorry for hurting you in the past . Let's just say that I was immature and maybe fate wanted it that way. I love Nicky so much and I want to marry her .
The problem is that since I told her about us ,she has refused to pick my calls" , he replied with bitterness in his voice.

"Hmmm, I will speak with her about it since you sound sincere",Amoge replied.


"Thanks alot dear , my regards to the family "he said to her and ended the call.

Amoge had just finished her plate of spaghetti bolognese when Nicky knocked on her door.

"Hi Amoge" she said politely and sat beside her on the bed.


"Hi dear , how are you doing? "She asked.


"I am okay but I am not really happy with you Amoge.Why didn't you tell me that you dated William in the past. You told me that you were classmates, why did you leave out the dating gist?" She asked .


"I was so shocked when I saw him Nicole and frankly speaking I assumed that he would tell you later that day besides , I didn't know how close you guys where. I am sorry dear " ,she replied.



"So what do you want to do about William? , be rest assured that I support your relationship with him 100%" and your brother will definitely come around, she said to Nicky .


"Amoge, i feel sad about the situation. He lied to me!. He sort of hid your relationship with him from me.How will I ever trust him again?. I feel particularly bad because he knows my stance on lies and deceit",she said with irritation.


"Nicky my sister, eventually the decision is yours to make but don't leave him because of this . William is a good man . Don't do something you will regret later.
Every relationship goes through a rough patch . Give him a chance okay" ,she said to her and embraced her.



" I will think about it" , she said to Amoge.

They watched TV for a while and called it a night. Nicky went to her room.

The following day, all the Okafors went to London.Amoge registered with the hospital where she would have her babies delivered a couple of days later.


Arinze and his other siblings with the exception of Nicky,returned to Nigeria .

Mr and Mrs Okafor planned to stay in London for a while and visit a few countries in Europe they hadn't been to.

It was a rainy Wednesday evening, Nicky was trying her best to enjoy the bowl of chicken pepper soup prepared by madame Grace.

There was no doubt that the meal was sumptuous however, she lacked the apetite to do justice to it.It was her first proper meal of the day ,all she had earlier were some cookies and a few apples .

Madame Grace walked into the kitchen of the short stay apartment they rented and met Nicky eating her food with a frown on her face.


"Nicky my daughter, I don't understand why you are starving yourself. Do you want to kill yourself because of that young man?.You have refused to tell me why Arinze claims that he isn't good enough for you",she said to her .

Beautiful piece, I love the story right from onset. I just can't wait to read the next updates. Good job and keep it up.

@ Harunablezin, it's not like you thought about me. Yeah, relationship should be open and direct but it would be difficult to let the cat out of the bag like that. Maybe, William was actually waiting for the ideal time to tell her. It was a complicated issue for William. If I may ask, what would you have done?

"Don't worry mummy. I will be fine" she replied and took her food to her room.

Madame Grace went  into Amoge's room to discuss with her.They spent some time discussing about Nicky and the possible ways to bring her out of her present situation.


A week passed  by,Nicky was still feeling down. She decided that after her parent's trip, she would go back to Aberdeen and sort out her issues with William.

Nicky was watching TV with Amoge and her parents. Her eyes were glued to the screen but her heart was far away.

"Nicole ,your dad and I have decided that we are going to visit Santorini this Saturday ,Madame Grace said to her.

"Really! that's lovely mum. You both deserve the romantic get away", she said to her parents.


Nicky excused herself and went to her bedroom sadly . The last time she either received a text message or missed call from William was 3 days ago.


She was beginning to get worried. "I guess he is tired of me ", she said to herself. I wonder if he is doing okay" she said to herself.

Nicky knew that if and when she decided to go back to William, it would have to be when she is comfortable with Amoge and William being together in her presence without an iota of jealousy.


Nicky realised that she wasn't at that point yet.She missed him terribly but she didn't want to complicate her relationship with her sister in law by prematurely running back to William.


As Nicky was scrolling through the pictures of William on her phone, she received an email alert from Arinze.


It was a flight reservation to Santorini, Greece that bore her name .

Nicky walked hurriedly to the living room where she left her parents and Amoge.


"Daddy I think there is a mix up. Arinze just sent me a flight reservation to Santorini. He probably made a mistake, she said to him.

"It is not an error. We want you to travel with us.We can't leave you here like this.Your mum and I are worried about you . Besides,your mum would need a sight seeing buddy when my old and arthritic legs fail me" , he replied.

"Nicole my daughter, you need to relax . You are being too hard on your self. Come and cool off with us before you return to Aberdeen for your job interviews" ,Madame Grace said to Nicky with a smile .

Nicky was thrilled at the offer."Mum but who is going to stay with Amoge when we all travel ?she asked .


"Don't worry about me,I will be spending the weekend at my cousin's place,you deserve it girl after graduating with a distinction, Amoge replied with a warm smile on her face.

Nicky excitedly went to confirm the date of travel on her phone.

The flight leaves tomorrow afternoon. I thought it was meant to be on Saturday (the day after tomorrow )?she asked with curiosity.

" Are you sure about what you are saying Nicole? madame Grace replied.


" Look at the itinerary mummy! " Nicky said and showed her the flight schedule on her phone.

"Let me call Arinze because he booked our flights" she said to her with surprise .

"My dear how are you? .You mistakenly booked tomorrow instead of Saturday for Nicole to travel. Your dad and I have tickets for Saturday already ", she said to Arinze.

"Yes mum , I was going to call you to inform you about that. There was no available seat for Saturday. I had to choose Friday instead of choosing another airline for her return ticket.
She is a big girl, I am sure that she won't mind being alone for a day",Arinze replied.


Nicky packed a few items and headed to the airport. All the Okafors were British citizens so she didn't need to get a visa.


The plane was getting ready for take off. "Still no word from William" she wondered in her heart with sadness.

Nicky typed a text message before switching off her phone which read; is it too late for me to be yours,William ?.

Her heart raced when she clicked the send button. What if he has moved on?what if he still loves Amoge? What if he doesn't want any drama from the 2 women he loves ?.She asked herself.

She quickly switched off her phone before waiting for a reply in readiness for take off.

She finally arrived at her destination. It was a smooth flight and she was glad that the airport shuttle was pre arranged.

Nicky got to her hotel room .She excitedly explored the length and breadth of the room. Her room had a private pool and a spectacular view of the sea.




https://claireslovenest./

Yeah, it's paramount one tells his past to his partner. William got the shock of his life when he saw Nicole' family pictures. I'm sure Amoge and Arinze was the least person he ever thought could be in those picture. Do you expect him to spill the bean at that instant he saw it? He never expected to see them. Why not tell her in their subsequent meetings rather than that instant?

Hmmmm nicky nicky

Nicky was marvelled by the what she saw."The view of the sea is simply breathtaking" she said to herself. She wished that William was there with her.


She loved her parents but being in such a romantic city with her parents, suddenly seemed like a bad idea.


Nicky had a shower and changed into a long purple flair sleeveless gown which nonetheless accentuated her curves. She let her hair down , put on a pair of white flat stylish sandals and carried her sweater in her left hand.

She was so hungry yet eager to explore the rest of the hotel that she decided to have dinner in the restaurant of the five star hotel.


She sat outside on the white terrace facing the caldera.The terrace was beautifully decorated with tiny light bulbs. Nicky marvelled at the splendour of God's creation.

The view of the iconic Skaros rock was superb. She chose the perfect location for dinner as the sun was just beginning to set.

She was grateful that she was there alone.Nicky was indeed happy for the solitude because it gave her clarity.
Nothing else seemed to matter. No problem seemed too big.

"I love William "she said to herself as she waited for her food to arrive." I don't know why he hasn't contacted me or replied my message but I won't give up on him" ,she said to herself.

Nicky's food finally arrived. The steak and fries were displayed on the plate so artistically. She felt like a queen. The steak was so juicy .

As Nicky was eating her dessert, a man walked up to her and handed her pamphlet .

He told her that the hotel offered boat rides at discounted prices on Friday nights.The bill would be added to the room so that she could pay while checking out .

"Hmmm, I will give it a try" she replied with excitement.

Nicky couldn't resist the offer of a boat ride on an enchanting sea.She loved boat rides.

She quickly wore the white sweater she came with and asked for directions to the yacht. She finally got inside the yacht. Nicky was surprised that it looked empty.

All she saw was an empty exquisitely furnished living room. She wondered if people were in the upper and lower deck."I Certainly won't be a sailor tonight "she thought to herself .

She opened the small fridge by the mini bar and poured out a glass of cold ginger ale,her favourite drink.

While Nicky was contemplating on whether to stay on board or leave, the yacht began to sail slowly away.

She quickly sat down and picked a magazine to read from the stool beside her. She suddenly began to her music play inside the yacht. Nicky was surprised at what was happening.

She decided to go down the stairs that she saw to know if other guests were on board. On her way down, the lights went off. Nicky was happy she came with her phone. She hurriedly put on the torch of her almost battery drained phone to enable her see her way down.

There was pitch darkness. Nicky became scared.She stood quietly at a corner trying to figure out what was going on.

The lights suddenly came on .Nicky saw a white envelope on the table which bore her name and hotel room number. She opened it out of curiosity and found a pink note inside which read" it's not too late ".At the lower right corner of the note,she saw a tiny inscription "the view is better from above ".


Nicky ran to the topmost floor of the yacht. She stood there alone." The view of the sea is really more beautiful from here" She thought to herself .

The cold night breeze began to blow.Nicky became so cold that the sweater she wore felt like a scarf.

She wrapped her arms around her self to warm herself as she soaked in the beauty of the scenery.

She began to hear music playing in the background again .It was one of her favourite love songs playing. Nicky faced the sea and sang along. She suddenly felt two warm hands on her shoulder .

Nicky was frightened to her bones and turned around quickly to see who it was. A male voice said to her " It's not too late darling ".

She was so shocked but thrilled to see William standing right before her eyes.He was wearing an emerald green turtle neck sweater on a dark blue pair of jeans.

Nicky could not believe her eyes. "What are you doing here? ",she asked with excitement.

"I had to come and see you" he replied with a smile on his handsome face.

"How?,why?, who told you".....Nicky tried to ask a million questions in a minute .

"Sshhhh", William said and placed his index finger on her lips .

"I am so sorry Nicky. It's all my fault !" ,he said to her with a soft voice.

"I didn't want you to leave me that's why I didn't tell you immediately about Amoge. My world crashed when you left me and refused to hear me out" ,he said to her as he looked into her beautiful eyes.

"I am sorry about how I shut you out. It was my own way of dealing with the situation. I have been a shadow of myself", she replied.

"Let's go inside love. It's really cold out here" he said to her.

Nicky followed him inside. They sat on the sofa together. The music continued playing in the background as they faced each other. Neither of them said a word to each other. It was as if they had been separated for decades. He couldn't keep his eyes off her.

" I have made a lot of mistakes in my life Nicky. You came into my life at a point when I had given up on love.You brought colour to my world and taught me the definition of true friendship. You have given me the courage to love. Indeed, it's an honour to be loved by an embodiment of grace, wisdom and beauty".


Nicky smiled as he said those words to her ."My head is literally going to burst if you don't stop all these compliments" , she said to him with modesty.

"Okay let us watch a movie then" he replied with a mischievous smile .

William put on the TV and inserted a film into the dvd player.It was her favourite romantic movie .
"This is my best movie "she blurted out with excitement.

"I know babe", he replied.

They watched the movie to the end in each other's arms.William removed the dvd and inserted another one inside .

" I am tired of watching movies, I need to sleep ", she said to him with a soft voice.

"You will love this one, I promise. You can sleep in my arms if it's too boring though" , he replied.

This time she sat in front of him and rested her back on his chest because she was so tired.

The dvd started playing. It showed different short clips of Nicky and William which he recorded when they were eating together, studying and generally having fun.
Beautiful pictures of them together displayed next.

"This is so nice William, how did you put this together ?"she said to him with a broad smile.

Thanks love, he replied.

Nicky was so happy to see a pictorial display of the times they spent together. William seemed to know exactly how to make a lady feel special.

She continued looking at the pictures . She noticed that beneath the pictures were typed messages .He told a brief story about how they met .The pictures ended with a black blank page. Then a picture of Nicky followed by a smiling picture of William.

Nicky laughed when she saw the picture and continued looking at the screen of the TV. Next was a picture of his house in Aberdeen followed by a typed message on the screen.

William stood up and came in front of her.He smiled as he looked into her eyes.He knelt on one knee and brought out a black small box from his pocket.

"What's going on?" Nicky asked with surprise.

She read the message again , it was a question.

"Will you make me happy forever my love?".

William opened the box and brought out a beautiful ring. Nicky screamed in excitement.

"Before you came into my life Nicky, my life felt empty.

You put a smile on my face and gave me a reason to

work hard everyday.I want you in my life forever. Let's

travel the world together babe!.I love you so much.

Please make me the happiest man alive .Will you marry

me , my best friend? "he said to her with a soft voice.
