The blind date

Author’s POV

Over the few years, life has taken a drastic turn on Jenny who couldn’t handle the Maxwell group company which has fallen drastically and people no longer patronize them. Jenny was able to get married to one politician who took care of her and so far she hasn’t been able to breed a child for the Man.

The man only married Jenny so she could produce a child for him and knowing that Jenny was the granddaughter of Kendrick, his friends, that was what gave him courage to toast the lady who agreed for him because of his stature in life.

Her Man Greyson hardly be at home as she sneaked out fucking other men. That night, Jenny was horny and decided to call one of her high school lovers back then who had become their gateman due to the fact that they could be seeing each other every time and will have a high chance of doing it everyday instead of her going outside which could make her husband suspect her.

That night, Jenny couldn’t hold herself but gave the man a call who quickly sneaked into her room and they did it but unfortunately her husband who had been noticing Such act from her caught them red handed that night. He chased the gateman out of his compound and didn’t bother talking to Jenny or questioning her as he gave her grandfather a call and told him about everything that had happened. Jenny pleaded with him not to tell her father but he wouldn’t listen to her fake cry and that’s because he had been suspecting her of such a thing which he normally warns her about.

Ava’s life has always been going from different dimensions to the other. Till now she still has this guilt that it was the post from years ago that has spoiled her reputation because right from there, no man has ever taken her seriously as they end up running away from her after they’ve slept with her. As Such things continue, Ava is forced to say that her life has been cursed and this time around she chooses to take revenge on those who have made her waste her time.

Right before she hasn’t met Stefan, a lot of suitors do come asking for her hand in marriage but now none of them are asking her about it as they seem to be running away from her. Back then when her reputation got spread, Raven came to apologize to her that she was the one behind Everything that had happened on that fateful day they went to the club and from there, she had been holding grudges against her. A grudge that can turn her into that craze she was years ago when she wanted to kill Raven but ended up shooting Stefan. She had forgotten all about him but there where he could. It has been two years since she last saw him and till now she hasn’t been able to see him. Ava chooses to carry out her plans now on Raven First before Stefan who she will later go to after knowing where he stays.

Raven on the other hand wasn’t living the best life she had wanted for herself. She gave the Company to her father the moment she relocated out of the country and ended up staying alone. She wanted to build herself and occasionally she had been going on blind dates, trying to look for the perfect man to marry because her relationship with Stefan had affected her a lot and sometimes she did dream of him. Hoping to see him one day because the last time they saw each other, they ended on bad terms which doesn’t seem right and she wishes to apologize to him again if she ever came across him.

She was sad to hear that Jenny’s plan actually worked out and Jenny was able to take the company just like she had wanted but was sad to see that Stefan was no longer in the country. Wherever he was, she wished him nothing but his safety. There was this company that has always been the talk of the town in New York and Raven Decided to pay the company a visit and see how it looks.

Maybe she could try out their products since she is staying here now. In eagerness to see the company, she took a taxi and came down from it as she paid the Man and walked inside the company. Raven’s mouth gaped open on what she was seeing as she prayed she could get a job from a company like this.. their partnership could be great. But not so soon, Raven saw a face which she could never forget about and turned to look away immediately before the face could turn back and look at her. Her heart fluttered on seeing him after all those years. He was looking beautiful and younger this time around. He was probably hanging around someone she knew to a lawyer. His name was barrister Calvin. He was a lawyer who Once worked with them. “Raven!!” Calvin, who seems to have seen her, called her attention as Stefan looked at her with a stunned look.

STEFAN POV

My heart fluttered as I set my eyes on her. I didn’t even notice someone was standing behind us until Calvin, who seemed to know her, called her attention the moment she was planning to go away. It seems like she doesn’t want me to see her, which was the reason why she was so eager to walk away the moment she set her eyes on me.

“Did you know him? I noticed that you looked really frightened the moment you saw him. Did you guys know each other?” Calvin shrugged at me as I nodded my head sadly.

“no. I don’t know her. Let’s go home. We have lots of things to do”. I and Calvin didn’t really bother about applying for the work again as I asked him where he knew her From and he explained everything to me.

I went home the next day, getting ready for the blind dates which Calvin has found for me and it will be taking place in one of the hotels in This country.

I was looking so handsome like a model after the dressing and everything the person in charge of My clothes had done.

“I’m sure with this look, none of the ladies will reject you. They will probably have a crush on you and might even dream about what you master “. The guy who had dressed me up complimented.

I entered my car and drove away.. not quite long. I got to the hotel and came down from my car as I dialed the girl’s phone number who I will be going on a blind date with.

My spirit ran down the moment I set my eyes on her and it was already too late for me to retreat back to my step because I was already seated close to her.

“hello sir I’m Ava and you……! She questioned bringing out her hands for a handshake as I decided to call out my father’s name for it because she will figure it out immediately the moment I tell her that My name is Stefan.

“you have a nice lovely name.. my name is Smith. I’m a businessman who’s into car dealers. What of you Ava? What do you do for a living?”

I shrugged at her trying to make my voice look different so that she won’t be able to identify my voice. “I’m a hardworking lady that has a company with over 100 billion dollars in sales. I just need a man to be by my side! Someone that could love me unconditionally”.

I couldn’t help but laugh Inside of me. So she hasn’t changed with Those acts of hers? She was always proud and it’s really so sad that the pride was still lingering around her. I don’t think I can continue with this blind date anymore. It’s better I tell her the truth.

“I’m sorry Ava but can we end this? I have no zero interest in you. I don’t like a Chubby short lady. I’m only interested in those with a skinny body and curvy hips”.

I shrugged at her about to stand up when she held my hand. “Do you know me? You look familiar”. She shrugged at me as I hurriedly removed her grip out of mine.

“I don’t think you know me nor do I know you. You’re just mistaking me for someone you know”. I bellowed at her and quickly stood up to walk away but she followed me and dragged me by the hand.

“I knew it! You’re Stefan aren’t you? You thought I was never going to recognise you”. My heart skipped in shock as she uttered such words but I feign ignorance of her words.

“I think you’ve got the wrong person, lady. Let me go. I bellowed at her as she burst into laughter

“At the End you seem to be wandering around looking for someone to marry with no job. Can’t you see? We would have got married and had a chill together years ago if only you chose to be with me”.

I was forced to halt my footsteps on hearing her words as I turned to look at her. Since she already knew who I was, I think it was a good idea for me to give her some words of advice.

“You can’t compare your life to my own Ava. Even with everything you said you have, at the End you still can’t get married and that’s to tell you that character is much more important than money. No matter who you are as a lady, if you don’t have a good character then I will say it’s a no go area”.

I could see the sad look in her eyes. She was feeling so regretful about the reason why she had met me. I’m sure she never prayed for me to see her in this position because I myself was stunned. I thought she Later got married at the End not knowing that she’s now on a blind date just to find her soul mates.

“You never thought you could see me here right? Not after everything you’ve done to me but such is life.. you will never know who could help you or change your life forever”.

She began to cry on seeing how her life turned out to be and I don’t have time to watch her fake cry neither have I come here for that. “Crying can’t solve your problems. It’s better that you solve yourself First before looking for someone to marry you”.

Can’t just believe I wasted my time on something like this. Now at the end I went home to relax and get prepared for work tomorrow. It’s been a long time since I went there.
