I couldn't wait for Joseph to come back from work before I could talk to him about what Cynthia just said, so I hurried up to go and meet him over there instead.
I rushed and got a bike that took me straight to his office.
Joseph's secretary saw me and asked me to sit and wait so she could inform him because he was in a meeting with the board members.
I sat down for some minutes and she asked me to come in as the meeting was over.
I went inside and met Joseph who was surprised to see me at his office because the last time I was there he was the one who asked me to help bring some files that he forgot at home .
So Joseph rushed towards me and gave me a kiss on my lips but I pushed him a little away because I was upset.
Darling is there anything the matter?
Why are you pushing me away?
Why is your face like this?
Please talk to me baby.
Joseph Okoye!
He was shocked because that was the first time I addressed him that way.
WOW! Starting when madam?
When did you start addressing me by my name?
When you started lying and deceiving me, Joseph how could you? How could you be this mean? After all the promises and the love you still have some girl out there whom you have engaged and you are here deceiving me, she was even at my birthday party last night and all you could do was lie to me?
Babe what are you talking about?
I don't know what you are talking about please.
And how did you get to know that she was present at your party last night?
Oh! So it's true?
I didn't say it's true, but because you mentioned your birthday party so I have to ask.
Well Cynthia my good friend told me everything that happened, infact she even told me how you actually begged her not to tell me.
Cynthia! Cynthia!
Well this is my place of work, so please please my sweetheart let's go home and talk about this if you wouldn't mind please.
I'm almost done for today just give me few minutes so I can round up with what I'm doing then I will drive us home and I promise you my love I will tell you everything that you need to know but just be rest assured that there's no other girl in my life but you.
Hmmmmmm.... Are you sure?
Yes my love I'm very sure.
Ok, I'll wait for you then.
That's my baby
He said and gave me another kiss on my forehead.
Soon we drove home and I couldn't wait for Joseph to start talking but he asked me to wait for him so he could freshen up.
I waited for him at the sitting room so he finished taking his bath and I went inside the kitchen and arranged dinner for us before he came downstairs, dinner was ready, he was happy that I prepared food for him.
I couldn't enjoy the food the way I was supposed to because something was still bothering me.
Joseph also noticed my mood so he cleared his throat and started.
He told me all the horrible things Cynthia said to him concerning me, even those she said before the party as well.
I was so surprised. Like how could Cynthia be this wicked.
And the fact that I trusted her so much made me more angry.
I couldn't help but kept asking myself how Cynthia could be so mean to me.
I started crying and Joseph became uncomfortable because he doesn't want to see me crying for any reason.
He came close to me and held my hands and started asking me to stop crying, that Cynthia doesn't deserve my tears.
I apologised to Joseph about the way I spoke to him at his office earlier but he said it was fine and that he would do same too.
Joseph promised me that he will never leave me for any reason so I shouldn't be worried about anything because the love he has for me is beyond words.
Days passed and Joseph called me and asked me to dress up so he could take me out.
Meanwhile he asked me to act towards Cynthia as if nothing happened because he's planning something big that would send her to her early grave so I accepted.
Cynthia was with me when Joseph called and he said I should tell her that he would love it if she will accompany me to this outting so I turned to her and told her what Joseph said.
And she was like.
Wait oo! Bella, after all I told you about Joseph, you are still seeing him?
See Cynthia, I love Joseph and he loves me too, so I don't really care about anything else now.
Ok what if he leaves you for that girl someday?
Please Joseph will not leave me for any girl.
Hmm. Don't come to me crying when it finally happens o!
Nothing will happen please.
Ok oooooooo.
So are you following me to where Joseph is or not?
Why not I will go with you.
So we dressed up and left.
We arrived at the place, the place was crowded and it was a little dark but I managed to sight Joseph where he was sitting with his friends.
We walked towards them and Joseph came to hug and kiss me when he saw me.
But he stopped immediately and turned his back on me and I became confused.
Joseph started saying things that I don't even understand.
Hey guys look who we have here. He turned to his friends.
This is the girl who thought she is the only wise person on earth. He said pointing at me and I was like Joseph what are you talking about.
But he ingored me and continued.
Can you guys imagine that I almost gave in to her lies?
But all thanks to this beautiful soul Cynthia here who made up her time to tell me about how fake Bella is.
At this point my body began to shake
I started feeling my breath leaving me
How can Joseph choose to humiliate me like this?
Cynthia became very happy and she quickly drew herself from where I was standing.
Joseph's friends where just shouting and laughing at every word that he uttered.
I managed to get hold of myself and I turned to leave.
I took three to four steps to leave when I heard Joseph called me.
Baby, baby wait, don't go please.
I stopped but I wasn't sure if he was really referring to me, so I still took another step and he called me again.
Isabella Amadi, will you please marry me?
I was shocked and I turned immediately I heard my name and I saw Joseph kneeling one leg and holding a ring with him, I turned to his friends and they both were on their kneels and asking me to say yes.
I turned to Cynthia and she was hiding her face already.
So I asked Joseph if he was really sure i was the one he is talking to and he nodded.
I started crying and ran towards him and I said yes I will marry you.
All his were so happy and they asked me to forgive them that it was all my man's idea and a kinda unique way of proposing to me.
And Joseph also apologized for everything and I forgave them.
So Joseph ordered for food and drinks and we all enjoyed ourselves except for Cynthia whom I noticed she was not comfortable but she managed to hold herself until we were done and Joseph drove us and dropped his friends and Cynthia and we went to his house where we did finale of party. Don't ask me what happened in the inner room because I won't tell you, figure it out by yourselves.
Do you guys think Cynthia will just fold her hands and allow Bella and Joseph to get married in peace?
Let's all wait for the next episode to see how it goes.
