"Ọmọlúwàbí: A Sacrifice of Love" --- Part 1: Ìbẹ̀rẹ̀ Ìfé (The Beginning of Love) In the rustic village of Ìlú Ayérayé, a humble boy named Adégòkè lived with his widowed mother in a thatched hut. He was known for his kind heart, honesty, and hard work, though he was as poor as the red soil under his feet. One day, while fetching water by the village stream, he met Mórẹ́nikẹ̀, the daughter of Chief Ọlálékàn — the wealthiest man in the village. Their eyes met, and something unspoken passed between them. Love bloomed like forbidden fruit Part 2 loading...

THE BETRAYAL © Grace O.O Part 10 They spent the day talking about the future; their expectations and other plans. James took her home when it was getting late. "Take care of yourself my love". He said fondly. "I will try. Call me when you get home". He watched as she retreated into the compound and entered the house before he left. When he got home, he called her and informed her about his safe ride. After talking for almost an hour, the lovers baded each other goodnight. *** James took her to see his parents the following weekend. They boarded a flight from Ibadan to Abuja where the family residence was. When they arrived at the Bakare's residence, Serena was awed although she wasn't surprised based on the magnitude of their wealth. Servants approached the duo and helped with the luggage. "Gosh, I'm so nervous right now. What do I do when I see your parents?". James chuckled and pulled her into an embrace. "You will be fine, sweetie. I'd be there beside you holding your hands. You have nothing to fear". He assured her. James led her into the mansion, his hand on her back. He asked for his parents from the workers and was told that they were upstairs. "Let's wait for them. I'm sure they're having their usual afternoon nap". He wanted to continue but stopped when he heard footsteps. Serena rose to her feet when she sighted James's parents descending the staircase. "Who do we have here?". His mother said excitedly. James walked up to her and prostrated before his parents. "Good afternoon Dad and Mom". "How are you, son?". His father raised him and patted him on the back. "I've been well, Dad. Trust you're doing great?". "Yes". His gaze shifted to Serena who quickly went on her knees. "Good afternoon sir. Good afternoon ma'am". "My dear, how are you?". Mrs Bakare asked. "I'm good ma'am. Trust you're doing well ma?". "I am very good my dear". She looked at James who understood the message being conveyed. "Dad, Mom, here's Serena Johnson. She's my fiancee". He introduced her. "Wow! She's very beautiful. You did well, son". Chief Bakare turned to Serena and helped her to her feet. "You're welcome to the family, Serena". "Thank you sir. I got you a gift sir and ma". She brought out two packages from her bag and gave them each to the older couple. "Wow! How did you know my favorite wine?". Chief Bakare grinned. "Well, it's one of the best quality of wine so I just bought it. I never knew it was your favorite and I'm glad you like it sir". "This gown is really giving the African vibes. To think that it's from one of my favorite clothing brand". Mrs Bakare said as she checked out the dress. "It's classy and has good quality. You do have a good taste for quality". Chief Bakare complimented Serena. "Coming from you sir, I take it as a compliment". She said, smiling nervously. "I'm sure you both are famished. I already asked the maids to prepare your room so you can go and freshen up". Mrs Bakare said and winked at James. "Thank you Mom. That's so thoughtful of you". He winked back and led Serena upstairs to the room. "What do you think?". Chief Bakare faced his wife when they were out of sight. "They're an excellent match. She looks smart and intelligent. She's also beautiful. I like her already". "I like her too. I just hope she's not in the relationship for his money. I can't watch my son have another heartbreak". "Well, I think they're good. He's already proposed to her, I saw the ring on her finger". Mrs Bakare said. "If you say so. We need to start making preparations then". After an hour, the young couple came downstairs for lunch. Serena was surprised at the magnitude of food served. There was different kinds of food like jollof rice, spaghetti and drinks. She wondered if there was a feast. "Princess, feel at home. You can choose any kind of food you want". Mrs Bakare said. "Thank you Mommy". The older couple dined on pounded yam and vegetable soup while the young couple feasted on jollof rice. "How about your parents? When do we get to meet them?". Chief Bakare asked. "They're doing well sir. Both of them reside at Ikeja. They wanted to know when you would be ready". Serena replied. "That's fine. James, make sure you see her parents next weekend. We need to start making preparations for your wedding. Just tell us how you want it to be; extravagant, moderate or low-key". Chief Bakare told them. "Oh Dad, thanks a lot. We'd get back to you soon". James replied. "Serena, what do you do for a living?". Mrs Bakare asked. "I work as a lawyer at a private firm". "Oh, so you're a lawyer?". "Yes ma'am". "That's good, princess". They continued their discussion after lunch. Serena liked their joviality and the bond between the older couple. One look at them and one would see the love in their eyes. "I wish for the kind of love between your parents. It's so pure. I love that they are happy together". Serena told James when they were alone. "I would give you more, my princess". He replied. They went to the garden in the mansion and sat down on a swing, watching the twilight. They remained there till late in the night, watching the twinkling stars in the sky. ______________ To be continued... Parents, you are role models to your children. Therefore, keep in mind that your children are watching everything you do. Planning committee, hope you've picked the wedding date and dress code? 👀😂😂 #_pen_of_grace

THE BETRAYAL © Grace O.O Part 7 James took her to one of the biggest restaurant in Ibadan. Serena gasped as she looked around the place, her eyes scanning the screaming luxury before her. A man dressed in an elegant suit walked towards them. "Mr James, it's good to see you again sir. The reservation is ready". "Thank you Mr Kunle". James said while they shook hands. Mr Kunle led them to another section of the restaurant. Serena noticed that it was different from the first section they had passed. Gold chandeliers hung from the ceiling. The furniture were of glass unlike the wooden ones in the first section. Serena sat down carefully, cautious not to break the chair. She looked around at the paintings in the room. "You surely have an expensive taste. This place looks more like a gallery than a restaurant". She commented. "Well, what would you expect? But sadly, I still miss those bukas. They know how to prepare excellent meals". James said sadly. Serena chuckled. After they had eaten, they ordered for dessert. "I'm sorry to pry but I'm curious. What happened between you and your fiance?". James asked. "Well, it turned out that he cheated on me with my friend who later got pregnant for him. From what I gathered, I found out that she seduced him and forced him to sleep with her. When I returned from an official trip, a friend called to inform me about her getting married. I arrived at the venue to discover that my fiance was getting married to my friend". Serena narrated, fighting back tears. James handed her a wipe which collected and cleaned her face. "I never felt so hurt in my life like that day. I felt like my world had been torn apart. But thank God, I'm recuperating now". She smiled sadly. "It's okay. You'll heal soon". "I know right". They kept quiet for some time, each one lost in thoughts. Serena thought of Tony and the dreams they had shared together while James thought of how he could win her heart again. "I suggest we go on sightseeing. It's been long since I had a chance like this". James said. "I'd like that very much. Come to think of it, I've not been to a zoo in a long time now". Serena chuckled. "Let's go then". They bought some takeaway along with them before leaving the restaurant. Hours later, they got to the zoo. They bought their tickets and were taken round by a tour guide who lectured them on each animal they saw. When they got to the part where monkeys were, Serena threw bananas to the monkeys who scrambled for it hungrily. However, she clung tight to James when they got to the lion's arena. "Don't tell me you're scared of lions". He teased her. "Who isn't? As if you can boldly go into the cage and feed it". Serena replied grumpily. James laughed at how childish she looked when she pouted her lips. When they left the zoo, it was already evening time. "Thank you James for today. It was fun hanging out with you". Serena said happily. James had took her home and they leaned on his car. "I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to hanging out with you again". He held her hand tenderly and squeezed it gently. "You've got to look after your father's company. Don't forget that". She replied. "I know right, it's just that I enjoy spending time with you. I want you to be happy". James said. "Don't worry yourself about me, I'm fine". She smiled. "Promise me you would take good care of yourself". "I will, James". She replied. "Good night Serena. I'd call you when I get home". "Good night James. Take care and stay safe". She said as she waved at him. He blew her a kiss before driving off in his car. ** The following week, Serena went to her workplace as usual. On getting to her office, she found a letter and bouquet of flowers on the table. "Who could have sent this?". She wondered as she tore the letter open. By the time she finished reading the letter, she flew into rage. "Tony must be out of his mind! How dare he send me these trash?". Furious, she took her phone and dialed Tony's number. "Hello my love". "Please hold it there! Who is your love? Are you out of your mind?". Serena yelled on the phone. "Calm down baby girl. What's wrong with you?". Tony said calmly. "I should be asking you that question. Why did you send me these trash?". "I didn't send any trash baby, I only sent a bouquet of flowers and a letter to tell you how much I still love you and want you in my life". Tony replied boldly. Serena felt like seeing him instantly and smash his head. "Oh really? You want me now when you're tired of Linda, right?". "I want you...". She cut him off sharply. "So you can suck me dry like an orange and dispose me when the juice is gone, right?". Tony kept mute. "Just a warning for you, don't ever call my number again in your life!". Serena hissed and hung up. *** "You don't mean it! How dare he?". Titi fumed. "He said he wants me in his life. The way he said it ehn, you would I was just a commodity". Serena said, clicking her tongue. She was shaking her legs angrily. Titi let out a brief laughter and clapped thrice. "He might have developed mental issues...". The doorbell rang, interrupting them. "I'm not expecting any visitors, who could it be?". Titi thought aloud as she went to get the door. When she opened the door, she found a delivery man carrying a medium sized package. "Hello ma'am. Please, are you Miss Serena Johnson?". He asked. "No, I'm her friend. How may I help you?". Titi said, tilting her head to one side. "I was asked to deliver this package to her". He handed the package to Titi who didn't collect it. Instead she eyed the man suspiciously. "Who sent it?". ________________ To be continued... This one wey Tony no wan leave Serena alone bayii, Olorun a gba wa o! 🤧 Because warris all dis? #_pen_of_grace

THINGS SEX DOESN'T DO. 1) Sex doesn't Strengthen a Relationship. A Relationship that is weak is weak not because there is no sex in it, but because there is no LOVE (affection, attention), COMMUNICATION and COMMITMENT in it.. "Sex is not Love" Adequate daily Communication, giving Attention to each other (hanging out, spending time together) and showing Affection (speaking each other's love language) for each other strengthens Relationships. 2) Sex doesn't Spice up a Relationship Eti "let's spice our relationship with sex" A Relationship is boring not because of a lack of Sex, but because of a lack of purpose, fun, friendship and excitement in the individual and cooperate lives of those in it. 3) Sex doesn't Prove Love "if you love me, prove it" Sex is not a way you prove your love for anyone, especially someone you're not married to, in fact, abstinence is a better proof of love than sex. Your ability to wait is a proof of true LOVE than your inability to wait which is rather a proof of LUST. A Person can have sex with you and not love you. 4) Sex doesn't Keep a Relationship "I don't want to lose him" You can give him/her sex and they'll will still dump you tomorrow, I counsel victims of this daily. Even with good sex, MARRIAGES still break down everyday, talk less of a relationship. What keeps a relationship is LOVE, RESPECT, CHARACTER, and COMMITMENT. 5) Sex doesn't Prove that you're a mature adult "We're matured adults, let's do it." When did sex become the sign of matured adults?. Immature and irresponsible teenagers have sex everyday, does that make them adults? Sex doesn't mean you're matured, rather you prove your maturity by discipline and self control. Sex Has its Time Wait, in the right season, na you go tire.. Keep sex out of your Relationship and build a solid foundation for your Marriage. Follow my page Vineland Properties #fypviral #fy #OMG #fypシ゚

Genuine love, also known as real or authentic love, is characterized by sincere feelings and commitment that are not superficial or insincere. It is a love that is not based on fleeting infatuation or manipulation, but rather on deep admiration and care for the other person's well-being. Genuine love is not a facade or an act. It stems from a deep, heartfelt connection and genuine affection. Unconditional: It accepts the other person, flaws and all, and provides support without expectation of something in return. Respectful and Caring: It prioritizes the other person's needs, happiness, and well-being, and is always respectful of their boundaries. Honest and Open: It involves open and honest communication, even when difficult conversations are necessary. Selfless: It places the needs of the other person above one's own, even when it requires sacrifice. Trust and Intimacy: It builds a strong foundation of trust and intimacy, allowing for vulnerability and emotional closeness. Distinguishing Features from Other Types of "Love": Infatuation: Infatuation is a temporary and intense emotional state often driven by physical attraction, while genuine love is based on a deeper connection and understanding. Convenience or Dependence: Some relationships may be driven by convenience, dependence, or other external factors rather than genuine love. Self-Love: While self-love is important, it should not be confused with genuine love for another person. In essence, genuine love is a deep, heartfelt connection that is built on mutual respect, understanding, and a commitment to each other's well-being. It is a love that lasts through thick and thin, and is a testament to the enduring power of human connection.

Carter Efe: "You buy things for Jarvis but complain about sending your mum money. You've not even sent her up to 10M. Sandra isn't telling you the truth. I'm 23 and I hustle for my mum, my wife, and my child. I'm just the third born in my family, and I do my best to make sure my family members are at least, comfortable and I have never come out to complain about it because I see it as a responsibility. Peller: "You're just saying all this things because you want to trend, you know that once bloggers see my face on your livestream they'll carry it. You want to use me and trend. When you were my age how many people were you sending money?" This conversation between Peller and Carterefe has stirred mixed reactions online, As many believe Carter Efe may be trying to give Peller an advice that will help him in future, but it appears Peller doesn't get it, because he's "blinded by love".

DONT READ ALONE TAG YOUR PARTNER HOW TO BETTER COMMUNICATION IN YOUR MARRIAGE Or Relationship 1.

FIND OUT TOPICS YOUR SPOUSE ENJOYS Don't just talk about bills and responsibilities, engage your spouse in conversations your spouse enjoys such as business, leadership, general knowledge, design... talks about life and emotions. 3. USE ENDEARING NAMES When you call your spouse with special names such as "Darling", "Hun", "Sweetheart", "Love" it makes the communication sweeter. 4.
