As she walked down the street, waiting for a cab,Becky immediately regretted her actions.
In her heart she asked those she had offended for forgiveness. She was only desperate and now it landed her in a bad condition. She didn’t even go home with anything.
Becky learnt her mistake and promised to turn a good leaf.
Gerald breathed in once Becky left. He turned to face Valerie.
“And for you Valerie. I’m giving you the sum of ten million naira for coming second. Congratulations. ”
Valerie’s hands flew to cover her mouth least she would scream down the building. “Oh my God!!” She cried and collected the cheque with quivering hands.
Natasha and Maria smiled at her feeling so happy. Natasha couldn’t still get her eyes off Gerald. She thought it wasn’t happening real.
“Thanks so much for this! Aunt Linda!” Valerie cried and hvgged the lady who hvgged her back with pure delight.
Valerie hvgged Natasha and Maria. She wished them the best of luck. They exchanged contacts and finally, she left the building with her puppy.
“So, now it’s you Maria… Our local Maria.” Gerald said and everyone laughed.
Maria laughed. ” As you don call me local.. no wahala na!” Maria laughed.
Gerald stretched a piece of paper to her. ” Here is the sum of twenty million naira for coming first. Congratulations!”
Maria’s eyes filled with tears as she gently collected the cheque. She stared down at it and rushed forward to hvg Gerald who hvgged her back.
“Thanks so much for this! I don’t deserve this… I’m speechless…!!” Maria said startling everyone except Natasha who smiled at the other’s shocked expression.
Arnold g@sped, pointing at Maria. “You… Speak… good English??”
Maria laughed. ” I do! Forgive a pretender like me. But me speaking pirgin doesn’t mean I don’t speak good English.
Na for Mama place I grow up na. we-ttin you expect?
We go dey gbege the gbege na. Na my world be this oh and I go rock am well! ” Maria said and everyone laughed.
” You are such a clown!” Arnold laughed again. He was the most amused.
Maria stood staring at Arnold. She went closer and gave him a hvg. Maria disÂŁngaged from him and stepped back looking into his face.
She laughed nervously and brushed a tear from her eyes. “Oh my God… I’m crying.
I said I would not cry when this time comes but I think I’ve disappointed myself.
So.. it’s goodbye from me. I’m gonna k!sseveryone here.” Maria said and hvgged aunt Linda.
She also hvgged Gerald. She smiled at Natasha and whispered into her ear,
“Good luck…. Keep me upd@t£d.” She said and win-ked before stepping away and gr-abbing her luggage.
She looked at Gerald once more and smiled.
“Thanks so much again! I’m gonna investment in this money.. I promise. Goodbye everyone! ” Maria turned and opened the door.
Aunt Linda win-ked at Arnold. Arnold laughed and closed back the door ma-king Maria spun around to look at him, wondering why he was laughing.
“Ahh… Maria… If you walk out that door… I swear I’m gonna give up and die. ” Arnold started.
” Bastard! ” Gerald said laughing.
Maria stared at him wondering what he meant. Suddenly she un-derstood. Covering her mouth with her hands she turned away unable to believe it. “Oh my God.. this is not happening..” Maria murmured to herself.
“It’s happening,Angel. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. How can I possibly allow you walk out that door.” Arnold said and held Maria’s hands, looking de-ep into her eyes.
“You even made the best meal for me. You are full of life.. you’ve got no res£ntment over anyone… You are harmless and so fun to be with. Maria… plea-se stay behind and be mine. Yes Maria… Marry me. I want to continue eating your super meals… Don’t go out and give it to other men…. The thought might kill me!”
Maria’s face shook, Tears falling out. ” Oh my God…. It’s really happening!”
Natasha and Aunt Linda had began to cl@p as Arnold knelt down, bringing out a beautiful little box from his front pocket.
“You’ve made me feel what I never felt since my heart broke into tiny pieces.
plea-se Maria… Will you marry me?? ”
Maria felt like col@psing. She couldn’t believe that was happening real and so fast.
Nodding her head vigorously, she shouted breathlessly. “Oh yes! Yes! I will marry you! I will marry you!”
She stretched out her hand and Arnold gently sli-pped the ring into her f!nger. Raising up, they hvgged ti-ghtly.
“Wow! This is super ro-mantic. I’m so happy for you dear!” Aunt Linda said, hvgging her once again. Natasha hvgged her too.
” Okay…. Now.. it’s Natasha’s turn. Natasha, step forward. ” Gerald said, smiling.
Stepping forward, Natasha smiled back.
“Out of all the girls that competed… I’m sorry to say this, Maria…. You are the best. ” Gerald said, looking into Natasha’s large eyes.
“uh uh.. that’s cruel.” Maria laughed.
“You’ve shown me what true love is. You are not only ha-rd working… You are so industrious and ever re-ady to keep a home.
And for your star price… here’s the sum of thirty five million naira. ”
” Woooow!!!! ” Everyone yelled happily, maria rushed forward and hvgged Natasha who only smiled. “Congratulations!”
Gerald stretched out the cheque to her and to everyone’s amazement, Natasha stood still, staring down at the paper. She began shaking her head.
Aunt Linda stared at her smiling. She pas-sed the last test!
“What’s wrong Natasha? I’m giving this to you.” Gerald said, stepping more closer.
Natasha turned away,tears forming. “Is this what you are offering me?” Natasha said and turned back to look at him. “I don’t want this.
Standing in front of me alre-ady is my star price.” Natasha dropped the bomb shell.
Gerald laughed, turning to look at aunt Linda. “What else is there to doubt! What else!!” He said happily.
Aunt Linda smiled, stepping forward.
“There is no better woman for my brother, Natasha. You did not only win his heart,you won everyone’s heart and my family will be glad to meet you. Welcome to the Bikroft family.” Aunt Linda said softly.
Fast tears sprang up in her eyes as she hvgged the lady.
Gerald went down and proposed to her. “Marry me Natasha and complete my world.”
“Yes, Gerald Bikroft..my gate man…I will marry you!” Natasha replied. Everyone laughed as Gerald slowly sli-pped the ring into her f!nger.
He stood up and carried her up, k!ss!ngherl-ips,her face,her forehead and her hair.
Laughter filled the whole house.
They had breakfast, gisting about who was gonna wed first.
“Look I’m older than you. I should be getting married before you.” Arnold protested.
Gerald sneared. ” Now are days,age doesn’t matter,what matters is what you’ve got to show men! You know? Americans style.”
Everyone laughed. Natasha choke on her bre-ad and Gerald quic-kly gave her water. “You okay?” He asked, looking at her.
Natasha laughed. “Yeah yeah.”
“You choked because you were laughing too ha-rd . That’s okay now. Everyone should keep quiet and eat.” Aunt Linda said but she was the first to break the rule cos she started laughing again and everyone Joined.

Natasha stepped into Gerald’s room,seeing him in this room for the first time. Her eyes scanned the be-d.
He was actually the owner of this be-d.. this be-d she had madly stood up from.
Gerald closed up behind her, pu-lling her to himself from behind.
Smiling and letting her head fall back on his shoulder, Natasha turned back to face him. She was alarmed cos Gerald was only wearing his briefs.
“Hey. Are you high or something?” Natasha murmured, filling heat raising in her b©dy. He had started to turn her on with the way he was looking. So handsome and charming.
“It’s my room. I can walk n-ked if I want.” Gerald said, nuzzling her n£¢k.
Natasha’s b©dy began to throb. She did not want to do this with him now. Not now but things were fast happening. “Is this another test cos I think I’m gonna fail thus one?” Natasha said s d Gerald laughed, scooping her up and off the ground.
Staring affectionately into his eyes,he carried her to the be-d.
Natasha l@ydown glancing up into his face and watched him join her on be-d.
“What are we doing?”Natasha asked, becoming so helpless as he reached for her robe, sli-pping it off her b©dy.
“What does it look like? I’m starting to make you mine.” Gerald said, focussing on undressing her.
Natasha l@ydown still,till he finished undressing her. Gerald su-cked in his breath.
“Oh my God.” He murmured. Natasha looked more S-xy right now. She looked eatable!
“Mr ro-mantic..will you plea-se wear me back my clothes right now?” Natasha asked, trying to lift up her head.
Gerald pu-ll-ed her back on the be-d with a killer k!ss.
You aren’t going anywhere. If you don’t wanna do this now…I can always wait till we get married.
Just stay this way in my arms tonight ” Gerald said, c@r£ss!ngher arms.
Natasha stared up at him smiling. “Yeah. Let’s wait till we are married. Everything about me will be yours and yours forever.”
Gerald smiled back and nodded.
Laying beside her,he gathered her into his arms enjoying the way her brea-sts pressed into his che-st.
He k!$$ÂŁd her forehead, still c@rÂŁss!ngher arms
Natasha’s eyelashes fluttered down in satisfaction and then she sle-pt off like a contented baby in his arms.
Minutes later after she had sle-pt off, Gerald gazed into her face for a very long time. “I love you so much,baby. Goodnight.” And then he pe-cked her hair and sle-pt off too.

The next morning, Natasha and Maria were back in their room, checking out their engagement ring.
“They’ve been testing us too all along. I’ve come to realize we did not only come for a competition…we also c@m£ here to pl@ya game. Just like what I did.” Maria said.
Natasha turned to look at her. ” You? pla-yed a game? What game did you pla-y?”
Maria smiled. “Don’t you notice anything new about me? ”
Natasha finally realized. ” Oh my God! You aren’t so local after all! Why ever did you do that! You are such a clown! ” Natasha laughed, throwing a pillow at her.
Maria threw back the pillow, laughing ha-rd .
They were so engrossed in their laughter that they did not notice Arnold was at the door, standing and watching them.
When they finally saw him, three of them laughed together.
“Okay that’s enough! We got to go out now. ” Arnold said, stepping further inside the room.
Maria and Natasha looked at each other and stared at him. “Go out?” They chorused.
Arnold nodded, smiling. “Shopping things on point.”
đź’šđź’šđź’šđź’š
Maria pu-ll-ed her luggage out of the car, smiling at Natasha. Once again they hvgged. “We will see later, I guess?”
Natasha nodded. They were throu-gh with shopping and right now they are in front of Mackenzie shopping complex. Arnold and Maria were about leaving.
He was going to take Maria to his own house. The mansion which they stayed at for the competition was Gerald’s.
“Okay, bro. Thanks for everything. I will see you around when dad’s in town. ” Gerald said, stepping out of the car to give his brother a hvg.
They shook hands. Arnold waved at Natasha and took hold of Maria’s hand,he let his other hand gr-ab her luggage handle and the shopping bags.
“Are you gonna wait for a cab or should I call one of the drivers? ” Gerald asked.
” Oh no. That won’t be necessary. I alre-ady put a message throu-gh aunt Linda. David or Matt will come and pick us. ” Arnold said.
” Stay safe! I’m gonna call you! ” Natasha called after Maria as they walked away to the park.
Maria turned and waved again, before turning to look at Arnold.
“Hope say your house fine oh! we-ttin dey do you, bros! This your eyes too dey ro-mantic! ”
” Hey! You can’t deceive me any more! You better st©p that. ” Arnold said and they bur-st out laughing.
Entering back into the car, Gerald reached out and held
Natasha’s hand between the car seats. “Thank you ” he beamed her a charming smile.
“For what?” Natasha said softly enjoying the way his long f!ngerscarr-esed her inner palm.
“For loving me and choosing me over a rich guy even though I was a gate man. ” Gerald said and Natasha laughed.
” But you weren’t! ”
” That’s my point. You did not know… You never knew my real identity but you ended up choosing me over someone so wealthy.
I’m going to love you for this till I die. I want to rush up our wedding, Nat. I can’t wait to make you mine.
My wife… My princess… My heart… My everything… My joy… My angel… My sweetheart… My world.. my heart goddess… my heart beat… my… ”
Natasha laughed blu-shing. Stretching forward, she interrupted Gerald with a breathtaking warm, de-ep and sweet k!ss.
Gerald encircled her in his arms, his hands roaming all over her back as he pu-ll-ed her out of her seat.
pu-lling her more ti-ghtly to himself, he de-epened the k!ss, creating a free ro-mantic show to anyone lucky to pas-s by at that moment!!
They fv¢king and freaking don’t care who saw them. The two love birds continued k!ss!ngand k!ss!ngtill they thought they would never st©p!!!
