CHAPTER ONE ‘Olad’

I walked down the street in content as there were no reporters waiting to attack me with questions. I honestly could not deal with them right now.It sucked to be followed around because I was a successful model and also the managing director of the best skincare product company but it definitely didn't suck to receive credit alerts for being beautiful, popular and all.I arrived at the event where the best business men and women would be awarded tonight. This event had been trending for two weeks on the internet and now, it was finally here and I was really looking forward to it.“Ola Smith i knew you'd come, I was talking to your mother earlier and I asked about you” Kemi Abikoye, one of my mom's acquaintances approached me with a wide smile on her face.She had always been this cheerful a

CHAPTER TWO ‘Tomorrow’

I stared at the tv with shaky hands and bloodshot eyes. My ex-boyfriend, Philip Folorunsho was getting married to a popular reporter of BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation)I was broken hearted, we broke up three months ago and now he was getting married? What the hell! I knew he cheated on me severally but I didn't expect him to move on.. so quickly.I turned off the tv and went to the cabinet where the drinks were normally stored. I grabbed a bottle of vodka and drank from it directly ignoring the stinging sensation in my throat.Hot tears rolled down my cheeks and I choked on my own saliva as I cussed Phillip.“I hate you Philip Folorunsho!" That idiot had taken advantage of the love I had for him, he used me to gain popularity and make more money and I hated him so much for that.

CHAPTER THREE ‘Received award’

Today was Friday which meant: less work, more fun!“Miss Ola, congratulations on the award you and your mom received yesterday I knew you both could do it!” Michael, one of my colleagues said immediately I stepped into the company.I passed by Michael with him hotly on my trail, “It's our award, we all worked for it and got it but you know you guys had to cover for us and attend those meetings that's why we couldn't bring you guys along” I say and he shrugged, uncaringly.“Don't stress yourself honey, as long as I keep getting my bonuses I'm good” he said and I laughed. I totally understood his point though.“I'll see you later” I said after getting some warm water. Micheal seemed confused, “Wait where are you going?" He asked and I gave him a look.“My office, to work, as usual” I utte

CHAPTER FOUR ‘Jade’

“I know. You're pretty popular around here” he said with slight hint of irritation in his tone before continuing, “What bothers me is why you're on my property” he said going straight to the point.I pulled my hands back and sighed.Oh he was not an easy one. I chuckled internally at the realization and lifted my chin up. “I was just passing by-” i wanted to move my hand around the man's chest seductively but with his mood and temperament, he would definitely embarass me so i gave up and walked confidently to my car.Then i banged my head on the wheel calmly. That was definitely not what i expected, Sade didn't tell me Daniel owned that place either.I sighed deeply to calm my nerve. What i needed right now was a drink.Immediately i drove home, i grabbed a green bottle from the cabinet and started gulping it, only noticing a

CHAPTER FIVE

Sade Johnson called me three times and I let it ring. I'd given her too many freedom to access me that was why she was taking advantage of my leniency calling me whenever she deemed fit.I received another phone call, this time it was from Jade's boyfriend. Damnit! The picture I posted with Jade yesterday must have made him call me.I decided to pick up to hear what he had to say."Ola Hi! This is James, Jade's boyfriend- well, ex-boyfriend" he stuttered. I rolled my eyes at his response.“Yeah I know, what do you want?” I asked cutting to the chase."W-wait you have my phone number?!" He said, a little taken aback.He cleared his throat and said, "I-i mean yeah, I need to talk to Jade” he stuttered.“Then call her” I say nonchalantly.“You know she blocked me everywhere and I can't even go to her house” He yelled, a

OLA"Ola I love you" Romeo says while I only slapped him hard across the face."You really have no shame do you? How dare you tell me such a thing, do you know who I am? I'm Ola Smith-""-Yes and I love you, I tried to stop myself many times but I just couldn't. It's you my heart wants, only you Ola" Buzz buzz buzzMy eyes opened and I realized it was all a dream. Thank God but why would I dream about a guy I barely know.What the hell?! Well it's just a dream because I thought about him before sleeping yesterday. It won't happen again.I check my phone and saw that I had a magazine photoshoot tommorow 12 noon. I'll have to take a break from work then.And also four text messages from Jade.'Heyy James and I made up, thanks for making me agree to see him again'

CHAPTER SEVEN

OLAMonday morning, I head to the company. I hurriedly did the work I could. I had a photoshoot at Adanna beach 12pm and I didn't want to be late so when it was 11:30am, I left.Thank God I already wore the bikini beneath my clothes. Otherwise I would have to strip completely there and it would get uncomfortable real quick.I got a text from the driver. 'I'm here for you'It's part of the contract, I get a driver to take me to the location for security purposes.I told my mom and Michael I would be back later, they let me go because I've done most of the work back home. I got only two hours of sleep.I head downstairs and spotted the limousine waiting for me. A security guard immediately opened the passengers seat for me once he spotted me.I walked in majestically and thanked him as he closed the door carefully."H

After that incident.We went out together and rumours of us being friends were buzzing around the internet.It's such a shame that Lola would be heartbroken in a few months.

CHAPTER NINE

I sneak into my house and locked the door slowly. I didn't want to deal with mom or the nanny.Suddenly the lights went on. Mom."Where were you?" She asked seriously as she cut the apple into two with the knife in her hand.It hurts to admit but I was scared of the way she was holding the knife. What if she snaps again and..Flashback*I just got back from highschool and was really hungry. Thankfully, the nanny already prepared my favorite fried plantain and scrambled eggs. Then I remembered hearing sobs and glasses shattering in Mom's room."Mummy?!" I asked running straight to her room only to find her cutting her wrist with a knife."Mummy what are you doing stop! Why are you hurting yourself?" I asked tears in my eyes. Before I could blink she dragged me against the wall and point a knife against m

I grab my car keys and head out. Then all of a sudden I felt light-headed. I leaned against my car for support and when I felt well I got in.I started my car and hit the road.
