Amanda accepted to marry Joel at last. She had fought her emotions on whether to settle down or continue her spinsterhood. With the emergence of snap chat, Instagram, and other social media, most young ladies will rather want to spend enough time to enjoy life. and catch up with the trend than settle down in marriage. Such is the feeling of Amanda.

The Clarkson is a household name in Owerri. Dr. Clarkson is known for winning the Nobel Prize for archeology in 1981. The family name rings a bell on the whole of Africa. From a the moment he won the prize, he had been contacted to teach as a visiting professor at top universities in the world, that amounted to his accumulation of wealth.

Amanda is however such a spoilt brat who would lazily sleep in the comfort of her bed to be served breakfast than to be involved in the process of the breakfast preparation. A thirty years old girl is not prepared for marriage.

Joel on the other hand is a successful banker with fame in the banking industry where different banking houses sorts his services. At that young age, he has made a name for himself. Some of the stuff that bothers young men of this generation doesn't bother him. He seldom has no time to go clubbing or chase after a bevy of ladies.

Mrs. Clarkson, a retired matron scolded Amanda to think about settling down to marriage life rather than taking pictures and trends on social media.

Somehow, Amanda and Joel met. They are from different worlds. After the family agreement had been concluded, they accepted to tie the knot.

Barely a week into their marriage, Joel begins to feel irritated. Amanda would wake very late in the morning while Joel had already gone out. The young man jas never eaten breakfast made by his wife.

Worse of it all is that Amanda would visit the restaurant to eat and buy some food as dinner for her husband. This was just the height of what Joel could bear.

It was at this point that Joel had to think wild to make him the woman of his dreams.

One morning, Eva one of Amanda's closest friends walked in to announce that she was pregnant, while that was still raving in the air, Casandra walked into the discussion and blew the air for Amanda:

Your husband is responsible for the pregnancy.

It was the most heartbreaking experience for Amanda. How on earth would her husband stoop so low to engage her friend in the extramarital affair and to the extent of being pregnant for him.

When Joel returned from work that day. He appeared the righteous man he had always been. Then, Amanda confronted him with the accusation that he got Eva pregnant. Joel felt no remorse:

Oh! She was here. I thought of telling you after dimmer tonight. Since we married, you haven't been treating me like a husband should be treated.....

Amanda stood at the kitchen door, weeping her eyes off. She had come to love Joel so much but her youthful exuberance has taken away her reasoning that she found it difficult to even prepare a homemade meal for her husband.

Amanda ran away from the house to Cassandra's. She couldn't bear the trauma.of losing her home, her marriage in less that six months after that celebrity wedding event.

Cassandra them tool up the assignment of her mother to teach her the wifely duties of cooking, and cleaning. Amanda learned so fast that after a week, she resolved to go back to her husband and claim.her rightful place.

When she reached home, she discovered that Eva wasn't pregnant. It was only a deal to make her a responsible wife, which was what they finally got.
