Chapter: CHAPTER FIVEChiomaI’ve finally gotten him. This is getting easier than I thought. Since the day I overheard him mummering about his arranged marriage with Ruby while entering his office, I made it my duty to destroy the arrangement because Alex is mine but it seems Ruby doesn’t want to let go of him.It all started in secondary school, I and Ruby were bestfriends, we do things together to the extent we were nicknamed ‘twins’.

Chapter: CHAPTER FOURAlexTwo months ago before Ruby was back, I was in need of a secretary because my former secretary resigned due to some family emergency and as life played out Chioma was the only person available at the moment. Since I was desperately in need of one, I gave the job to her but I avoided her like plague because the last time we met was when I stupidly kissed her.
