having the best break ever, Roman visited his uncle Luke, it was to be there after such a long time, he walked the streets like he owned them, then he heard someone calling him, "dude wait up" he looked back and saw a girl he was in class with, in UK, he smiled widely
"hi, what brings you here? I thought you were from Nigeria?" he said
"yes I came to see my father, gosh i never thought I'd see you here" she said
"well here I am, what's your name again?" he asked
"chinenye uba, yours is Randy right? prince Randy?" she asked
"Roman, Randy is my father, the king" he rectified her
"my bad, I've read a lot about your family, not I an obsession kinda way, but you're famous and stuff" she said giggling
"right" Roman said
"wjere are you heading?" she asked
"just walking around" he said
"so where do you live?" she asked
"far actually, I'm here to visit my uncle" he said
"wow, okay, I was nice seeing you here, let me have your contacts, I need to rush back home" Roman have her his number and she left.
Roman went back home after a week, that's when chinenye called
"it took you the whole week?" he asked
"yes, I was busy you know, so have you found a job yet?" she asked
"I haven't started looking" he lied
"well I have, not the one I was hoping for but I'd take anything to remain here, I'll be in a town called groblersdal, a huge company called star line, they needed a manager for the new line of of products they are venturing in to, I'm so excited" she said sounding like she was grinning
"I'm happy for you, have you went for the interview yet?" he asked
"it's in two days, I'm just positive" she said
"you'll nail it then" he said
"yes, I heard you're dating Afet" she said
"yes I am" he said
"wow, who would've thought?" she said
"me, I'm lucky to have her" Roman said
"okay, I'll call you again after my interview, bye" she said
Roman knew she knew the company is his, so he won't be one of the panelists, he then called afet and asked her to apply for the same position, she said she will, thay will be her only chance to get here.
after a week, after they have postponed the interview, afet came, she made it to the interview and she got the position, chinenye got the assistant manager position and she wasn't happy at all.
so Roman being the boss, he went to welcome his new stuff. "good morning guys, my name is Roman, the owner of the star line farm, my farm deals with cucumbers, carrots, cabbage, watermelons, lettuce, chilli, tomatoes, onions, olives, cauliflower, broccoli, peppers and sweet potatoes, but you won't have to worry about that since there are farmers to take care of the day to day work in the farms, I've opened this particular office because I've ventured into a new products, quite a few, so there will be new customers to deliver to, and the products will be planted in a different farm, so the farmers and everything else is new, hence I've hired admins, HR, managers, secretaries, supervisors, security and cleaners, we are all new to this, I will tolerate mistakes the first months, but after that I demand perfection, no excuse, the rules of the company will be adhered to, no late coming unless the reason is valid, no leaving early, and we have a color code, that is green, blue, red, black and cucky, or forn, you will go to the seamstresses over there, they will take your sizes and will provide you with the unique uniform. no heels are allowed here guys, we are here to work.
"so which products are we going to be dealing with?" chinenye asked
"for a change, fruits, peasamon, kiwi, panespek, Litch and melons, we will plant them ourselves, but the seeds and the soil, the whole greenhouse features will be imported, then we will export the fruits to the nearest countries" Roman answered
he spent the whole month going to the office to make sure everything runs smoothly, he helped afet to run the company by teaching her leadership skills that will work here since he's the best judge of character, he already seen the kind of people he's hired, his father also helped him here and there.
he's 19, already a business man, already a millionaire, but so humble like he has nothing. he's taking afet out, she's turned 18 yesterday but they couldn't celebrate since they were moving into her new house, yes Roman bought it for her.
"I'm just glad it's Friday, no work tomorrow" afet said sleeping on the table in the restaurant
"you're such a lazy girl, aren't you just grateful that at your age you're working, you will be able to change your dad's situation, he can also move here" he said
"hey, no need to be this deep, I'm not ready to have them here, I'm enjoying my freedom" she said
"family is everything afet, spend time with your father now before you'll regret not spending it with him, I know what I'm talking about" he said
after their dinner, he took her to her new house, and she found a car parked outside
"toda!" Roman said handing her the keys to a polo vivo, she was so happy....
two years later Roman and afet were still dating , with their ups and downs, afet doesn't trust Roman, because he's cheated a couple of times with zamar, then there's chinenye who's very determined to have Roman as her man, she's making it obvious for afet and it makes her angry. Roman is 20 years, he's been in an action movie, a drama series and a horror movie, he's made a lot of money that's is why all the girls are throwing themselves at him, he's been in this media thing for too long but had never had problems with girls wanting him, so the attention got him dizzy, he fell into temptation but he loved afet.
"you've always said that, tell me something new" afet said shouting at her top of her lungs, today, they're fighting because a girl called Roman and claimed to be in a relationship with him, as usual he denied being in a relationship with that lady, but truth is, he slept with her, so she catches feelings, and same old story, he's apologizing and promising to deal with the girl, he's said that with all the other girls he's slept with and they kept calling, they still call even today, some gave up, but some are persistent to ruin his Relationship
"stop shouting afet, I said I'll deal with her" he snapped, they're at the palace, yildiz invited them over for lunch
"you haven't dealt with any of them, Roman I'm getting tired of this, I'm telling you this is the last time I'm talking to you about your girls, I promise" afet said and took her phone out, she was on social media
"what do you mean by that?" Roman asked after a few minutes
"just that" she said
"hello, look how beautiful you are afet, I missed you guys, why don't you visit?" yildiz said coming down the stairs, Randy was following her
"good day" afet faked a smiles, she wasn't sure about her relationship with Roman anymore, so being around his family felt so wrong
"is it really a good day?" yildiz asked looked at her
"it is" she forced the smile again
they had lunch in silence
"okay, tell me whats going on, Roman, afet, what is it?" Randy asked.
"nothing dad" Roman said
"I heard you guys shouting, arguing, there's definitely and obviously something wrong, talk to us" Randy said
"I said it's nothing dad, please" Roman snapped
"well, Roman and I are over, we broke up just now" afet said, Roman dropped his fork and fixed his stare at her, with his mouth slightly opened, not even blinking "so it's kind of awkward to have lunch together, and I'm sorry but I need to leave" afet stood up, Roman hasn't swallowed the new changes of their relationship yet, he sat still until his mother shook him
"follow her you fool" she said, he quickly ran after her
"afet what the hell?" he asked
"I can't do this anymore, I look like a fool for always believing the lies you feed me with, for always forgiving you even when you don't deserve to be forgiven, you take me for granted, you don't respect me, and clearly you don't love me enough to stick by me, so I'm going to let you live your life the way you want, I'll go my way too" afet said
"afer are you breaking up with me?" he asked
"yes, geez yes, hasn't it sunked in yet?" she shouted
"afet listen, you can't do this to me, baby please let's talk things through, I'll tell you everything and ..." he was still trying to say whatever he wanted to say when afet flashed her phone on his face
"you didn't sleep with her, what is this? you haven't seen zamar in a long time, and now this? explain this shit to me, wait no, I don't care anymore, bye" she got in her car and drove off, Roman fell on the floor and cried louder, his parents ran to him
"she left me dad, I've hurt her" he said sobbing
"Roman can I have a word with you, just the two of us, Randy go inside" yildiz said
"so you liked what your father did to me that you have to do it to that poor girl?" yildiz asked, Roman looked up at her
"how can you say that mom?" he asked
"then why do you do the exact same things he did to me? are you that broken Roman?" she asked
"I'm not broken mom" he said with a breaking voice
"what do you lack, what don't you get from her that you chase from all the girls you sleep with? don't you love her?" she said
"I love her, I love her so much" Roman said
"love doesn't hurt, if it hurts then it isn't love anymore, you are hurting her, she deserves better, because she's a nice girl that left her family to come here for man, she's loving, and she deserves to be loved" yildiz said
"I'll try to fix things with her" Roman said
"leave the poor girl alone, let her be happy, don't deny her that, you can't give her what she wants, so let her be happy out there without you, and the only thing you need to fix is you, there's definitely something wrong with you to behave the way you do" she said then left him thinking, his father then came
"I heard your mother, she's right, do you remember how miserable I was when she tried to divorce me? one day you'll wake up and find her gone, for good, she forgave you enough Roman, stop hurting her, it's enough now, she's way too young to be going through this shit, and you're young too, is this the kind of man you want to grow to be?" Randy asked
"no" he said
"then fix yourself" he said and also left.
