Esosa's POV

Two days later, I was back to Lagos from California. While I was away, my elder brother Wilson inform me he was back from UK for his personal business. He's
a software engineer and most times he travels out to close one business deal or another with some of his partners who based outside Nigeria.

But since our flight came into Lagos by 12pm and I got home, I haven't set my eyes on my brother. I just hope he didn't go back without seeing me. It's already 5pm and I was still working on my laptop searching for suitable hotels for my client who wants to travel. My door flew open and I gazed up to see my brother walking inside.

"Brother" I squealed excitedly but felt lazy to stand up.

"Hey angel" he greeted and gave me a side hug while I was still seated on my bed.

"Where have you been? I searched all over the house for you since noon I got back" I asked and he took a sit on my bed.

"Uh, yeah, I stepped out to my company and then I stopped at yours to check on your employees to know how things were going" he answered.

"Oh thanks" I said in appreciation.

"You're most highly welcomed. Angel I have a place I want to take you to" he announced and I felt excited.

"Really?"

"Yeah" he replied smiling.

My mood switch to a frown remembering I have some work to finish up before tomorrow.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I can go out right now, can we go out another day?"

"Seriously? You are turning down a date with me for a work you could easily do at your own time and convenience?" He frowns at me.

I stared at him quietly, "But I don’t feel like going out today, bro. We can always do this another time".

"For a moment I thought you missed me as much as I did but is obvious I'm the only one that did the missing" he stood up and waved his finger on my face.

"Well, I’m not taking ‘no’ for an answer, so save yourself from pleading and change up to a better outfit so we
can go out" he straightened up, "I'm given you twenty minutes to do that" he added and walked towards my bedroom door.

"Where are we even going?" I asked making him to halt. "Besides twenty minutes is not enough for me to get ready,
I don't even know what to wear" I complained if he'll change his mind.

"We're going to somewhere you’ll love, is a surprise actually. And as for you to get properly ready, I'll add additional 10minutes to the twenty minutes" He winked at me and exited my room.

I groan frustratingly, oh Wilson, why can’t you just take no for an answer? I scratched my head and covered my face with my palm. I’ve got some work to finish
within the next six hours and now you have to drag me out to spend out of those six hours.

I thought for a short while, perhaps I could spare him two hours of my time because if I don't get dressed he'll come force me either ways. What am I supposed to wear now?

I stood up and walked to wardrobe to search for what to wear. Not to brag, many women would kill to have
my clothing. My wardrobe was filled with many designer clothes and most of them are from Victoria secrets.
Most of this clothes haven't been worn because I don't really spend time going out for dates and all that, rather
I'm mostly working. No one would believe I was once a poor young girl who strive to become her own boss and become a billionaire.

I remember the times I had to be a maid just so I could get money and build myself up because no one was ready to do that for me except I give them my body.
I was a smart and intelligent girl but no one cares to know except I do the dirty things that some ladies do. I felt a warm liquid slide down my cheeks and I realized
I was crying already.

I wiped my tears and continued to fondle through my hung up clothes and my eyes settled for a black dinner gown. I took it out and check it out, it was having two stripes on the chest and then above my left thigh is a slit in it. I think I'm going to wear this. I threw it on the bed, and walked to my collections of shoes, I took out my open toe stiletto and placed on my interior decor ties floor. I brought out my other accessories and kept it on the bed and then I rushed up to the bathroom to
freshen up.

Couple of minutes later, I was done dressing and I'm walking down the staircase to the sitting room. When
my brother saw me he slowly stood up looking jaw dropped.

"What?" I asked with a shrug halting from third to the last step.

My brother blinked severally and cleared his throat "I’m blessed!"

I raised a questioning brow at him. "You’re blessed? Okay... Good to know".

"Of course I’m blessed to have an angel as a sister. Many would kill to have you as a sister not to speak more of having you as their girlfriend or wife".

I giggled blushing from his compliment. No doubt the black gown I wore fit perfectly well. I combed my wavy
hair down cascading on my back. I had a pink lipstick on, and my eyelashes were beautifully raised with a touch of mascara. I don't like heavy makeups so I was cool with just this things.

My necklace was a silver one with a glittering pendant encrypts ‘pearl’. My earrings were silver to match my
necklace. I was wearing a diamond wristwatch on my left hand and then on my right wrist was a silver bracelet.

"Mehn, look at how beautiful and gorgeous you look.
Come here" my brother called out for me and he extended his hand for me to take which I did and I matched down the remaining steps gently.

"I hope they don't mistake me to be your fiance" he teases and I giggled.

"Oh please, quit flattering me, Wilson".

"Damn! This is what we call asset!" He half-yelled which ended him a swat on his chest by me.

"We better get going before I change my mind" I threatened walking passed him.

"Yes my lady" he gave a bow before running to the door to open the door for me.

I shook my head in amusement and got out of the house heading to his car. He rushed up to his white G63 AMG Benz and open up the passenger front door
for me. I raised a brow at him.

"What’s with the manly gestures?" I asked.

"I’m a gentleman you know" he said and wiggles his brows at me.

I chuckled before getting into the car. He jogged around and into the driver seat. He turned on the ignition of his car drove off to a destination best known to him since he refused to disclose it to me. He turned up his radio and ‘True by Mayorkun ft Kizz Daniel’ filled the car. I laughed
so hard when he started singing to it with his horrible voice.

>>>>>>>>>>//<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

In less than an hour, we got to our destination. Wilson packed his car at the car park among other cars. I looked around my surroundings and I didn't need
someone to tell me that this was a private beach. I glanced at my brother.

"You brought me to a beach?" I asked confusedly.

"Yeah. You don’t like it? I thought you'd always loved visiting beaches during late evenings like this especially when we visited mum and dad in USA that was why I brought you here".

"I,.. no, I mean yes I do. I do love beaches at evenings, I’m just surprise why you didn’t tell me initially that we were coming to a beach so that I can just dress casually into a jean and top.

"No! I love the way you’re dressing. It fits the occasion" he said excitedly and I furrowed my brows.

"Occasion? What occasion?" I asked and he stared me in a gape.

"Ah, I meant, It suits the occasion of you going out with
me after a month of not seeing you".

"Oh" I nodded but I was a bit suspicious of him.

"The only little problem I'll be having is your killer heels. You can't go in with it because of the sands" I nudge him on his arms for calling my shoe 'killer shoes' and he burstinto laughter.

"Don’t worry I can help you with that even if it has to be me given you a picky-back to get inside" he suggested.

"Hell no!" I objected, "I’ll just take it off and walk in barefooted"

"Are you sure about that? Or should I give you my sneakers?"

"I would have said yes to that as it’ll be a punishment for what you did"

"I’ll gladly oblige my angel" He gave a wide grin that deepen his dimple.

Since our growing up, my brother always calls me angel until we are now adults. At times people get it confused and thinks we're a couple or in a loveship. And I love the petname so much.

"If you keep smiling that way your cheeks will split apart" I teased him before I got out of the car.

"Nice one" He commended and got out of the car. "Are you still putting on those killer shoes?" He wiggles his brows at me.

"Would you stop calling my shoes ‘killer shoes’ if not I’ll use it on you"

"Ooops. I’m sorry ma’am" he raises his hands in surrender with a chuckle.

I grin at him while I unbuckle my heels and pull it off, I placed them inside the car and closed the door.

"Come closer" He opened his arm and did a cross arm with me. "Let’s roll" he said and led me inside the beach.

We both walked inside the beach side like a couple. The rushing sound of the waves could be heard, he diverted to the left hand side of the and then he came to an abrupt stop. Since I was glancing at the sea I didn't notice what was in front of us. He let go of my arm and my gaze fell
on him then to our front.

Before us was a beautiful decorated table with a square shaped two step cake decorated with a white and pink color. Beside the cake was two bottles of champagne wine. Around the table was some decorated chairs in a white and gold color. The surrounding where we were was decorated with some fancy lights. I
gazed up opposite in front of us was a hut and there was a guy dressed in some rugged clothing with a cap and an headset on, I knew for sure that was a DJ because there were speakers surrounding him.

This looks like a romantic setting to me, if he wasn't my brother I would have said he brought me here to propose to me. I glanced up at him confusedly on what the decorations and DJ was for. Although it was really beautiful but I was lost.

"What is this decoration for?" I asked and a smile spread on his face.

"You’d see" He replied and then he snapped his fingers twice.

Before I could ask what's the meaning of what he just did I heard a squeal beside me.

"Surprise!!" I startled at the squeal which came not just only from my brother's voice but other voices included.

I turned around to see seven more persons. Mr. Richard was among them, he's the General Manager of Fly Emirates, he’s an American and comes around once in a month to inspect the affairs of the airlines which include the cabin crews and other matters that need to be fixed. He has been here earlier this month and now I'm seeing him again, this was quite weird. It only means one thing, perhaps I was reported by that arrogant jerk and now I'll be fired. Son of a bitch! I groaned inwardly.

But, if I'm to be fired, why did he come with six of my colleagues to do that? And why the decorations? And most of all they're looking so happy. I was lost in this puzzle.
