Peace POV

Friday's are meant for 'club days'.My friends and I decided to try out a new club we've been going to the Corner Club so today we were going to Billionaire's Club, Out of all my friends I'm the only one who drinks more than them.

"This Club is fire" I said entering the club which had a beautiful deco, a person can tell it's only for billionaires, but none of our friends are billionaires.

We found a table, we started ordering alcohol,I drink nothing else than whiskey. I could feel I was so drunk and I decided to leave my friends and go to dance floor , as I was dancing I was joined by a sex handsome guy, we danced till I got tired

"want me to give you a ride"

"no need,I'm with my friends"

"ditch them and come with me"

I looked a this guy,He had a serious face, blue eyes,sharp nose,thin pink lips,tall,dark black hair,powerful aura, his presence couldn't be ignored, and I couldn't say no to this handsome guy and just by staring at him my body was getting HOT.

"Let's go"

We went to his car, it was a sport car this only meant that this guy is RICH. We arrived at a 5 star hotel, we didn't even get a chance to talk we just went to the deed.

45 minutes later

We were both so tired,We cuddled till I fell asleep. Woke up with no one by my side, I got up and took a shower, I saw a note on the bedside

"I'm Gerald,Had a nice time with you"

Argh! I didn't even take his number, I wore my clothes and went to my home, I was staying with my friends, so we were friends and housemates.

"Where did you disappear to?" Mellisa asked while looking at me with suspicious eyes

I told my friends about my one night stand and they were so surprised,I wasn't a ****** but I didn't have time for men anymore, My ****** breaker and first 'boyfriend' I can't say he was my boyfriend, the guy persuade me for 5 months and once he got it, he left and I've never saw him again.

My friends asked all sorts of questions but I didn't have any answer to them, I didn't know this guy and it was my first time seeing him,he only gave me his name, not knowing him bothered me a little. Hope saw my facial expression

"What's wrong?" she asked

"I just hate the fact that I don't know him,I mean I only know his name and cock"

Lidia laughed

"At least you know it"

"Lidia I'm being serious"

"Let's go and try to find out about him" Mellisa said standing up

"Where are we going to start looking, We can't go to the club"

"Let's go to the hotel and check which name did he use to check in" said Hope

"Okay let's go"

We arrived at the hotel and luckily Hope knew the receptionist and she let her check the names she found 3 Gerald's

"Lets check them online when we get home" I said as we were leaving

We searched all 3 of them and nothing , They didn't exist on the internet nor social media

"At least we tried" I said in a low tone

I was really disappointed but there was nothing that I can do.

Present Time

Peace POV

A lot happened in 2 years, I moved from Nigeria my home town after my twins turned 1 year and I lost contact with my friends,now I'm in Paris with my 2 year olds with no friends and job. I studied Law and worked at a law firm for a year then I took a long break but now that I have kids I need to start looking for a stable job.

Did I tell you why I left Nigeria?

Back at home I was staying with my friends and I didn't have parents they died when I was 15 due to car accident.So I went to stay with my grandma from martenal side. She's the one who was paying for my education so at 3rd year in Varsity I met my friends and decided to stay with them my grandma was the one paying rent at that time, as soon as I graduated she passed away. I worked for a law firm for a year and I left because I was tired of working or rather I wasn't ready mentally but I was one of the best newcomer in the industry so I took a break and my friends were the one paying for the rent.

The one night stand happened 3 months later I found out that I was pregnant and the father is a stranger so I had to live with that, My friends continued to support me and when the babies were 1 year old I came this side to look for work and I worked for a year, it was a contract, I worked as a business lawyer.

now I'm looking for a job, at least I'm still surviving because I used to save money and I bought a 1 room flat it was cheaper, I also managed to hire a babysitter since I used to save money I was going to be able to pay her for 2 more months.

I woke this rainy day and I had an interview in one of the most biggest company in the entire world and fingers crossed, I hope I get the job.I prepared myself and the kids, the babysitter arrived early since I had to be early for the interview.

Arrived at this beautiful building and I got in , greeted the receptionist

"You're here for the interview" she said wearing a smile

"Yes I am"

"30th floor"

"Thank you" I got in the lift, arrived and I was told to wait for my turn

10 minutes later

"Miss Peace Okiri" I stood up and took a huge breath calming my nerves

I got in the boardroom and the interview started, It was very smooth.

"I'm very impressed Miss Okiri"

"Thank you ma'am" We did a handshake, I went out, I bumped into a strong body

"I'm sorry I wasn't looking" I said trying to look at the person, He ignored me like I was air. Rude!

I left the building and went home to my babies, I released my babysitter

"Mama"

"Dada" and they both laughed, My twins are so beautiful and adorable but they didn't look like me a bit, both of them had their father's features,they didn't even take my complexion, nothing!.

Gail and Justin Okiri

As I was admiring my babies, I got a call from a company number

"Good Afternoon"

"Afternoon Is this Miss Peace Okiri?"

"This is she"

"This is Brown's Enterprise, I called you to inform that you have been hired please come tomorrow to sign the contract"

I was so dead excited I screamed so loud out of excitement, My twins started crying,they don't like noise at all it freaks them out" I coaxed them to sleep and ended up sleeping also.

Peace POV

My first day at work. Signed a 3 years contract. It was a very generous contract the salary was very good.Finally I can be able to buy a bigger house,Full time housekeeper also a car.

I arrived in my office early and prepared my office, just to give it a life , On my table I had my pic with my friends also my babies picture, I had a little flag next to the door, something to remind me home. Then I settled, I was given 10 contracts to look at, which would take the whole day.

At lunch time , I made coffee for myself and went back to the office, started working again till I heard a knock

"Come In"

"Miss Okiri, Mr Brown wants to see you" Mr Brown is the CEO, I saw it written in his office which is next to mine

"Okay thank you" She went out. I took a deep breath and went to the CEO.I knocked on the door "Come in", I almost fell on the floor when I saw Mr Brown , he looked very familiar but he had green eyes instead of blue, but he really looked like Gerald.

"Sit Miss Peace" I guess he couldn't pronounce my surname

I sat down

"You must be the new lawyer in the building"

"Yes Mr Brown"

"Call me Andrew" I nod

"I'm very interested in knowing you and I hope we going to work well as a team"

"Me too Mr Bro..Andrew"

"Welcome to the team"

"Thank you" I smiled

"You can go back to work" I nod and went to my office, the day continued very well I was able to at least finish 3 contracts and submitted them.

At home. I cooked for the kids and myself and coaxed them to sleep. I had to look for a permanent housekeeper, I couldn't hire my babysitter since has kids also so she wouldn't be able to come and stay with us, So I posted online and also searched for available flats to rent to buy, I liked a few and took their contact, I was going to call the tomorrow, I went to check my post again and had 30 comments I took their details.

I stayed for an hour and went to sleep.

Following day

Went to work, I did 1 contract and decided to make one for the housekeeper, I called all 30 of them and set interview for Saturday and Sunday since I wasn't working on weekends, also called the owners for the flats and set Friday to go view them.

Lunch time

I got a call,It was from Mr Brown saying he wants to see me.

"Hi Andrew

"Peace, Let's go have lunch"

"Lunch?" He nod

"As friends"

"Okay" we went to a coffee shop

"So Peace what brings you here" he looked at me with a curious face

"Left home to look for a job this side, In Nigeria there aren't many opportunities for a lawyer so I decided to come this side"

"Mm that's interesting"

"Have you ever been in Nigeria?" I had to ask, this guy looks exactly like Gerald maybe he told me a fake name back home and changed his eye contacts

"No but my brother does visit Nigeria time to time but he last went 2 years back" by now I was so curious and hooked

"What's his name?

"Gerald Brown" I almost chocked, he was my facial expressions and how shaking my body was , I literally went numb.

How will I face him now? But I'm so mad at him, How can you sleep with someone then leave without anything except for a name? at least he could have given me his number

"Excuse me" I quickly left the shop, luckily the shop was in the building I quickly went to restroom

Gerald Brown!!
