Duplicity - Chapter 6

CHAPTER 6

 

It was morning in Abuja, Lawal watched the sunrise with its orange hue, giving the sky a unique and striking appearance. The temperature was quite cool, and the weather was dry and cool, with a hazy sky in sight. The air was getting very dry, with low humidity and a noticeable lack of moisture. The dust from the harmattan winds was already presenting itself once more, and it is not uncommon for the sky to be obscured by a fine layer of dust.

 

Lawal walked towards the window and looked out at the view, then back at Ese who was still sleeping on his bed. The morning sun revealed just how beautiful and perfect she was.

 

Ese was chocolate-skinned and had a look that reminded Lawal of African-American women. He was surprised to discover that she was still a virgin and that he was the man who had taken that from her. Despite this, he knew that Ese needed his help and was willing to do whatever it took to provide it. He was drawn to her innocence and decided to take the deal further, making it a long-term arrangement. He would provide all of Ese's needs on the condition that she was exclusive with him until the relationship was dissolved.

 

Lawal couldn't help feeling a sense of guilt as he made this decision. He knew that he was essentially buying Ese's loyalty and affection and that it wasn't right. But he also couldn't deny this strange feeling he felt and couldn’t explain what it was just yet. He knew that he wanted to do everything in his power to make her happy. He hoped that Ese would come to see him as more than just a provider and that she would grow to care for him as he cared for her. He knew that it was a risky proposition, but he was willing to take the chance. He just hoped that things would work out between them and that they could find happiness together.

 

As Ese woke up, she couldn't help feeling a sense of guilt and shame for what she had done. She had always hoped to keep herself till her wedding night, but then again, she knew that she could have died of poverty if she didn't take this bold step. She sat up in bed and noticed that she was alone in the bedroom. Quickly, she got up and cleaned herself up, noticing a beautiful, expensive yellow gown on the bed. It was obvious that Lawal wanted her to wear it. Ese's legs were shaky as she stood up, still feeling the effects of the previous night. She made her way to the bathroom and took a long, hot shower, trying to wash away the feelings of guilt and shame.

 

Once she was finished, she dried herself off and put on the dress. It fit her perfectly, accentuating her curves in all the right places. Ese couldn't help feeling a sense of pride as she looked at herself in the mirror. She knew that she looked beautiful and that Lawal would be pleased. She made her way out of the bathroom, her nerves mounting as she prepared to face Lawal and the uncertain future that lay ahead.

As Ese walked out of the bathroom, she came face to face with Lawal and she froze in place. He was the definition of male beauty, with chiseled features and a physique that exuded strength and confidence.

 

Lawal couldn't help but notice the perfect angel in front of him, with her rich, African hair and perfect body structure. She was beautiful even without makeup, and he couldn't help feeling a sense of attraction toward her. To avoid the awkwardness between them, he invited her to join him for breakfast downstairs and then walked away without looking back. Ese took a few breaths to calm herself, then left the room and made her way to the dining hall for breakfast.
