A Man To Call Her Own by TiffanyJ(f): 1:05pm On Jul 06, 2014 |
Goodmorning to you all. Linda and Henry's story is about to begin. I really had a conflict on the title of this work. At first, i thought to name it 'The Scandalous Bride' but a very very good friend of mine observed that another name should be better. So i opted for my original title, 'A Man to Call Her Own' This book is set two years after Tara had Eugene. We will meet the Nicholas and ofcourse Shan. My shout outs to the following peeps: Hassan85, Ifude, heemah,LyndaRoyce, meeteemzy, edwife, vblinks, Ummuja, A.J Gold, Ngraced, Adegoke623, ADDUKY, Kingphilip, Divepen, Lanicky, Toykathy, Jasmine 2013, chariepet, Jeffrey James, Xtarxhyne, Queenxstar, Beevann, mamaav, orirebaby, ijbeauty, gorgeousnogo, Ice4jez, bawelat, Diamonddamsel, epathra, demgirls, Oluchikeh, tosinmoxy, Cpblessed, gracile, harmless Phil, Akejujoe, pwettyolly, miss universe, Iolite, Ethel307, hnkan, Jjrhymez, Gudsyd, joizy, winninght, ashtonpicky245, teecute, eniodun26, Temmytayo20, seyi Jayden, kkjoy, princeAdepoju, radiance, vonn, lilipet, zeb04, Sweetcarrot, princessusan, paradise163, Abuklaw, iphie17, mariammi, Jaymomma, Babyzai, Cscl4G, Christabel, Lahrra, prettymisi, Hyfe, jiteshell, molarawaju, benibank, science4me, uchebest2006, moseph and the rest of you guys i have forgotten.

For those of you reading my story for the first time, i'd advice you to read 'The Reluctant Bride' it was written by me but the story got wiped out during the attack on Nl. Fortunately, A good friend, Divepen, had offered to repost it for me. He is still working on it. For you to really understand the characters of this work, you need to read ' The Reluctant Bride' this story is in a way, the continuation of that work. ENJOY 2 Likes

CHAPTER ONE Linda James sang as she drove home from the mall. '... If you need me i'll come runing from a thousand miles when you smile I smile' This song by Justine Bieber had always brought forth Henry's face in her mind's eye. 'Henry!' Linda exclaimed excitedly. She had carefully planned the events of the next day. At the back of her dark blue Honda Civic are the groceries she had purchased for tomorrow's event. 'Tomorrow is Henry's birthday' Linda reminded herself for the hundred time. Linda felt no shame admiting to anyone or herself that Henry was her lover. They had been lovers for more than two years. He was everything Linda had ever wanted in a man but he already made it clear to her that he won't marry her. 'marriage is not for me' he had often told her. Linda, who had had her own share of men saw nothing wrong in having a sexual relationship with Henry Joseph. Ofcourse, she was not his only woman. She knew most of her rivals. There was Salimah, Ruth, Sandra, Angelica-and others she didn't care to know their names. She loved Henry and that was the only thing that mattered and she needed no prophet to tell her she was Henry's favourite lover. She was the only woman with a spare key to his house, therefore, she visited him as often as she wished- a luxury none of her rivals had. Oh yes, she had met his family and Linda was the godmother of Henry's only nephew, Eugene. Linda parked at the lot in front of her flat. She alighted, walked majestically to her boot, unlucked it and removed the groceries before helping herself into her self contained flat. She kicked off her two inch heels and unceremoniously dropped the groceries on the tiled floor. Her sitting room was perfectly decorated in blue. She loved blue and had taken her time to personally decorate her house. Linda switched on the TV to her favourite music channel. Soon, she began dancing to the rhythm of the music. Linda was neither dark nor fair in complexion. She has a chocolate skin. She was beautiful with intelligent eyes. Her bosoms were full and succulent, her stomach was flat with a good hip to match. Linda has long legs which she loved showing off. She was twenty seven years old. With her height, her beauty and her intelligence, many often mistook her for a model. She has all it takes to be a model, but no, she prefered being an event planner and decorator. She had studied Urban and Regional planning at the university of Lagos and graduated with a second class upper. Her parent had been shocked when after her National Youth Service Corps, had annouced that she was going to learn event planning and decoration. This decision so baffled her parents it nearly caused a rift between them. Her father was the only Human who understood her. While her mother rant and shouted at the top of her voice, her father had simply stared at her and asked if being an event planner will make her happy. She told him yes. During her Nysc, she had met a planner and had simply fallen inlove with the job. Her father had consented to this, gave her his blessings and helped her financially as she went back to school. Two years later, she got a job with R and C Company in Abuja. That was how she had met Henry. 'Henry!' oh no, she has totally forgotten that she has to prepare for his birthday the next day. She switched off the TV and picked the groceries into the spotlessly cleaned kitchen. She heard her phone ringing. Linda ran to the sitting room and retrieved the phone from the table. 5 Likes 1 Share |
