She came to drop off an important file I forgot at the office. Linda felt her world shatter.
The man she had wanted so desperately, the man she had once given herself to, saw her as nothing but a cleaner.
Femi had been pursuing Naomi all along, even when he had a fianceé. Her eyes filled with disgust as she muttered under her breath, “I thought you were different, but you’re just another playboy who only cares about himself.”
With that, she stormed out of the house, her heart heavy with disappointment and anger.
Femi had never truly cared for her, and now she finally saw him for what he really was, a womanizer.
He didn’t owe her any explanation. After all, he wasn’t chasing her. But realizing the truth about him still cuts deep.
Meanwhile, Naomi had finally made a decision. After days of contemplation about Benson’s offer to move to the city with him, she knew it was time to take the leap.
Returning to the city meant confronting everything she had run from. Her love for him was undeniable.
The thought of starting a new life with him filled her with excitement. She was ready.
On a quiet Saturday afternoon, Naomi went to Benson’s apartment to share her decision. He had given her a spare key, so she let herself in quietly.
As she stepped inside, she heard his voice from the living room. He was on the phone.
Naomi hadn’t intended to eaves drop, but one sentence froze her in place. Yes, this is Benson Jackson.
Tell the board I’ll approve the deal once I return. Her heart skipped a beat.
Benson Jackson. The name resonated in her mind. The Jacksons. The realization hit her like a thunderclap.
Her eyes widened as everything suddenly clicked. The man she had believed to be a poor junior IT assistant, Solomon, was actually Benson Jackson, the heir to Jackson Worldwide Enterprise.
He had been hiding his identity all along. Naomi stood frozen, her thoughts racing. Benson, sensing her presence and the change in her expression, turned to her.
He could see the confusion and hurt in her eyes and knew his secret had been revealed.
Naomi, let me explain,” he said softly, reaching for her hand. Naomi took a cautious step back.
“You, you’re the heir to Jackson Worldwide Enterprise.” Benson nodded, his expression filled with guilt.
“Yes, I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to treat me differently. I didn’t want you to see me for my money or my status.
I wanted you to see me for who I really am.” Just Benson. Her heart achd at the revelation, but at the same time, she understood his reasoning.
After all, she had been keeping her own secret as well. Tears welled in her eyes, but she forced herself to speak.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” “Because I didn’t want to lose you,” Benson replied sincerely, stepping closer.
“I didn’t want you to see me as some rich guy who always gets what he wants.”
“I wanted you to see me, just me.” Naomi searched his eyes and found the honesty there.
Unlike her past relationships, he hadn’t tried to manipulate her or use her. He had kept his secret because he wanted something real just like she did.
After a long pause, she nodded. “I forgive you,” she whispered, her heart softening. “I understand why you did it.
