The end always justifies the beginning of everything. Who would have thought that Ned will stick to Akunna through thick and thin despite his wealthy background? Who would have thought that a cleaner will steal the heart of such an affluential man like Ned the way Akunna had done? Who would have thought that a mere job interview would bring two hearts together that were destined for each other and who would have thought the two lovebirds will finally be 'engaged' to be 'married' after everything their relationship had been through?. It's apparent that God destined Ned and Akunna's relationship from the very beginning and was just waiting for the perfect timing to bring them together. What a relief indeed that these two lovebirds were finally on their way to the altar at last. At this point, it's safe to scream for joy!
After Ned informed Akunna that the car was a proposal gift to her, she was shocked beyond words can describe. All she could do was scream and jump for joy. She showered Ned with kisses as they held each other extremely tightly. Everything felt unreal to Akunna because she never imagined in a million years that could be her reality. Tears of joy began to cloud her eyes as she held on to her fiance tightly. It was a rollercoaster of diverse emotions that she couldn't handle at once.
When the excitement had died down a little bit, Ned called his dad and sisters via video call to break the engagement news to them. Akunna flashed her diamond ring to his dad and sisters and they couldn't stop blushing as they shared in the couple's joy. Ned's family were extremely happy for the couple and wished them nothing but the very best in the new journey they were about to embark on called 'Marriage'. The good vibes in the atmosphere was a proof that the universe was equally happy for the couple as well. Everything felt so right with no atom of doubt from any corner.
Shortly after the proposal, Ned held Akunna and they walked to another section of the garden which have a table for two with wine and food. The lovebirds feasted in celebration of their engagement. Servers were also present to cater for their meals. It was an intimate moment for them and they loved the fact that they could share such a precious moment with themselves first before the whole world gets to celebrate with them.
The couple had a lovely time at the garden before retiring back to Ned's house. Before then, Akunna had learnt how to drive so she was able to drive her own car all the way to Ned's house. She playfully horned at him occasionally as they drove home in different cars. Ned was super happy to see the joy in her face. He couldn't stop admiring his fiance on her engagement ring: she looked really cute and attractive. "All mine" he said to himself as he stole glances at her from his car window.
Finally, they got to their destination which was Ned's house. Akunna parked her car in his garage and kept flashing her bling ring to his face. "Ayyeee!! I'm a whole fiance" she playfully said as she cat-walked into the house. Ned couldn't help but smile and blush as he followed her behind. Even a blind man could see how happy Akunna was that evening and it only made Ned extremely happy to be the reason for those smiles on her face. It was such a wholesome moment for the lovebirds.
When they had settled inside the livingroom, Akunna hugged Ned and planted a soft kiss on his lips. "What would you like to eat tonight my darling? Just name it so I can prepare it for you" She asked with a smile on her face and he replied "You" and drew her closer to him. That response from Ned made Akunna blush to the extent that her cheeks began to hurt. She looked into his eyes and could see that he was ready to devour every bit of her. Ned began to unbutton her shirt there and then as they kissed passionately.
There was nothing Akunna wanted more than anything in the world than for Ned to make love to her that night. She yearned for his touch, kiss, thrust and sucking more than anything in the world. However, she felt it would be best for them to abstain till their wedding night so that it could be a special night for them. As Ned was almost done taking her shirt off, she stopped him.
"Babe, I think it's best we save this for our wedding night so as to make it special. Trust me, I want you so bad right now too but I'm willing to wait till our wedding night. Please can you wait till then before tearing me apart?" Akunna calmly asked. It was too much commitment on Ned's part because her body was always irresistible for him but however, he was willing to also abstain till their wedding night. He agreed to her request and had to button her shirt back up.
Akunna knew it was a tough sacrifice for Ned to make but knew it was for their own good, just so their wedding night can feel more intimate and special. She kissed him when he was done buttoning her shirt back up and re-asked her question; "now tell me, what would you like to eat so I prepare it before we go to bed?" She asked. Ned was kinda full from the food they ate at the garden so he told her he was ok for the night. Akunna wasn't hungry either so they took their shower, spoke for hours on the bed and finally slept off in each other's arms.
That day was the beginning of endless happiness and joy in their relationship. They glowed together and were the talk of the town for a long time. Akunna's colleagues happily congratulated her when she showed up to work on Monday with her new car and bling ring. They envied her from a good place and wished to be in her shoes. Everyone now know she was dating the CEO's son and was truly happy for her because she was an amazing human being.
Shortly after the proposal, Akunna was promoted at work due to her outstanding performance and effectiveness. Despite being in a high position, she was still the selfless and respectful person she had always been. It suddenly seemed as though the whole universe was in her favor as good things kept coming from every angle.
The news of Akunna's elevation got to her relative's ears and they came looking for her to make peace. She wasn't quarrelling with anyone but I believe her relatives felt guilty for not being significant in her life the way they should have been after her parents died. Holding grudges wasn't in her nature and the fact that she was in a good place in her life made forgiveness come very easily. They promised to make amends in their ways and be in her life going forward. Akunna knew they weren't 100% genuine and were probably influenced by her elevation but she didn't care about all that. All she wanted was to be at peace with any part of her life that was in conflict with her. The last thing she wanted was to enter the new phase of her life with any baggage that could affect her marriage or happiness on the long run. She just wanted to be at peace with every area of her life and God fulfilled her desires.
As the wedding date drew closer, the two lovebirds couldn't wait to be joined together as one. A wedding planner was hired to plan the wedding from start to finish. Akunna wanted a small and intimate wedding with just close family members and friends. Happily, Ned was on the same page with her. They both wanted the same thing and weren't fans of big or loud weddings. Their wedding was going to be an intimate and classy one because that was what the couple wanted.
While Akunna and Ned were happily preparing for their big day, Brenda was in no way happy about their engagement. The fact that Akunna came from nowhere to take her crush away from her wasn't a fate Brenda was going to fold her hands and accept. She decided that if she couldn't have Ned, no other lady would have him and she was ready to ensure of that. The desperate lady laid siege waiting for the perfect time to strike and there was no better time to carry out her mission than on the couple's engagement party.
It happened that Mr Tony threw a big engagement party for his son since they never got the chance to celebrate with the lovebirds on their actual engagement day. He invited his business partners and friends for the party and Brenda's dad was also invited. Akunna and Ned walked into the surprise party unknowingly after Mr Tony initially informed them that he was hosting a dinner date for them at his house. Ned thought it was just a family dinner date but was shocked when he walked in with Akunna to music and a handful of people in his family house screaming "Congratulations".
When the couple figured it was a full party, they had to let loose and have fun with the amazing people present. It was truly a surprise for the couple because they weren't expecting it at all. They had as much fun as possible and got to meet so many people.
All these while, Ned had no idea that Brenda was present at the party. He was too engrossed with being happy with his fiance that he couldn't see Brenda staring at them all those while.
Midway into the party, Akunna took an excuse from Ned and went to the car to get something. Immediately she left, Brenda followed her behind and taped her shoulders when she opened the car. When Akunna felt a hand tap her shoulder from behind, her heart dropped when she turned and saw Brenda standing behind her. "You startled me, please can you not do that again" Akunna said in disgust and without hesitating, Brenda attacked. "I see you are stubborn and don't listen. Didn't I warn you to stay away from Ned but you didn't listen? I did a research about you and found out you are a low-life wretched woman. It's funny how you poor people think you can just make your way into a rich man's heart and steal it. How dare you think you deserve to be with a wealthy man like Ned when people like me that deserves him don't get a shot? You are nothing but a low-life and I can't let a wretched woman like you have my Ned. Never!!" Brenda furiously said.
When Brenda was done speaking, Akunna wasn't about to let those insults slide so she gave her a piece of her own mind. "I can see you are a dog because only Dogs bark even when no one is after them. It's sad how you think you deserve a certain person just because you are rich. What a myopic way to reason for someone as supposedly exposed like you claim. With everything you claim to be and have, why didn't Ned go for you instead? I will tell you why he didn't, It's simply because people like you are disgusting and a dent to the beauty of this world. It's due to the fact that people like you exists that the world is broken because of discrimination and racism. What makes you think you are better than the next person just because you were fortunate enough to be born into a family of wealth? Is that all that makes you feel so superior to someone else that wasn't lucky to grow up with a silver spoon in their mouth just like you did? What gives you the effrontery to think that you deserve someone like Ned and I don't? Well, let me school you a little because I can see your school fees were in vain. Love can't be bought, it can't be manipulated and it doesn't discriminate. No matter how many of your type we have in this world, Love will still conquer all. Get used to seeing this diamond ring on my finger because it has come to stay Forever. Ned belongs with me and me alone so better get used to it. Now, please Moveeee!!" Akunna bluntly said.
While Brenda and Akunna were having a serious confrontation at the parking lot, Ned went in search of Akunna when he figured she had taken too long. When he arrived at the parking lot and saw Brenda there with Akunna, he knew that a serious confrontation was going on. He was kinda pissed to see Brenda discomforting his fiance so he calmly walked to where they stood.
"What's going on here?" Ned bluntly asked when he arrived. Akunna kept mute because she was too furious to explain to Ned all that had happened. On seeing that Akunna didn't want to talk, Brenda took the lead. "I came here to remind this low life wretched lady that she can't have you" she said.
Before Brenda could say another word, Ned cut her short; "Point of correction, she's my fiance so address her as that next time you want to spill trash and also, don't ever come an inche close to my wife again because if you ever harass her this way next time, I will take you to court. Now get lost forever and leave us alone" he bluntly said.
Shocked and embarrassed beyond measure, Brenda exclaimed "Wow!!".
