The moment we struggle to remain priceless in the eyes of those we love; that's when betrayal and prejudice sets in. How does it feel, for a young uncivilized woman, Barbara, to get deeply infatuated with her ruthless boss in the polished city she recently moved into? Jovan Meridth is the Heir to one of the biggest organizations in the country but entangled in getting himself a wife from the village to officially earn him his late father's property, as obligated by his grandfather, Mr Robert Meridith. Barbara who happens to appear among the newly recruited staff, ticks all Jovan needed to be a pirated wife, especially for the fact that she's animated from a rusty village_ according to her profile. Barbara's obsession with her boss appears like circumstances of chances and the fact that he returned greater energy. Unfortunately, Barbara declined the affection of her lifelong beloved who happened to be her adopted brother Akin_ who had always been with her through thick and thin...Even in all contingencies, Akin has chosen to remain an arm in vulnerable moments in Barbara's life. In life; they say you don't deserve anything you are not willing to fight for. Will she keep to confront the turmoil with her affluent Husband? Or sacrifice her marriage to embrace genuine love in an unpolished abode? Is love ever worth forgiving a legacy of devastation..?
"Am I unto Miss Kalmus Barbara"
Yes, ma!
As I rub my head in my contagious anxiety.
'I am the HR of the CAssijay and SON's Limited, congratulations!'
With the smiles and appraisals on my face, is it real, am I daydreaming? Have I been approved..?, my head couldn't rap around the fact I was congratulated.
The grin on my face widens, as I wiggle my hands in exhilaration.
Barbara constantly increased the volume of the mini button phone in her hand, even at the loudest she wouldn't quit pressing the volume-up button. As the Nokia phone in her hand couldn't conserve a cool temperature, she hung on to the conversation and remained oblivious to the broiling gadget in her hand unlike she always does.
As the soft feminine voice audibly proceeded,
This is to inform you that your Inquiry has been approved. And you've been appointed the post of secretary. A mail is been sent through, kindly review and sign the documents to verify the contract.
"Absolutely!."(chuckling..)
I mean .... "Thank you ma "
In a jubilant voice, and with a smile that would blow away the universe, She responded.
"My pleasure, and have a great day"
They ended the call. Barbara could not hide how delighted she was, She threw her body in the air, in a hilarious manner, which got her neighbor waiting with naked breath, as the uplift report that got her so elated
But I never knew it'd be so quick, It all seems like an imagination. I mean
Barbara tweaked her cheek, as she announced enthusiastically,
it is reality! I am going to be a city babe!
Then beep the mail.

Barbara jumped to the ground radiantly from the four-inch wooden bench she would always climb to receive her messages and phone calls, due to the network issues they had for ages in their community
Bravo! Baby girl!
You are such a genius, heavenly Barbara,!
I'm going to become a city elite, I mean
I'm going to start life in the city and start sending million dollars home to Papa and Mama.
Omg! I can imagine myself driving my exotic car, on my sparking dress like a gem that fell from heaven_and my prized Louis Vuitton glassy shoe that shone like a trophy under the limelight. Fascinating...ha!
Barbara chuckling. In Ecstasy
Awe!.. I need to tell Akin!
Barbara stooped and then exhaled...she smiled from ear to ear. Then She ran fervently about 3three miles to her father's garage where Akin would always be doing what he loves, definitely handling gadgets and fixing automobiles.
Akin and Barbara would always have kindred
Spirit towards one another. Just some hours from morning away from her bestie she already felt like forever especially when she had magnificent news to share.
Mr. Kalmus Garage is one of the well-known auto-mobile shops in Mungallala, Australia. He is known for his skilled and reliable repair in their small community. With his efficiency at work, he's able to train young men to aspire to learn from him.

Akin his adopted son happens to be passionate and spirited about mechanics, automobiles, and everything related to gadgets.
What is she doing here, wow! She just came out of the blues. Barbara will not cease to surprise me, I believe she's here with some frantic tales about her two-faced snake-in-the-grass friends. Or did she breach Mama's law again..?
She'll never cease to surprise me
As, Akin sighted the jotting figure, hysterically hurdling arms and legs to the air as it moved towards him directly.Awe..!,
He pulls out from the ditch he stares through
Chuckled! Hey! What are you doing here
ain't you supposed to be with Mama
Barbara cackled, and her eloquent grin couldn't help but mesmerize the atmosphere. She jolted and patted my chest cheerfully,
I would have embraced her in an eager hug as usual, but then I remembered I was covered in oils and grease But I couldn't help but return with the ravishing smile.
August and Harry, trainees in Mr Bello's workshop reacted to her enraptured petite figure
Hey Barbara, good to see you..!
Hi Garry, Hey August..
Garry proceeded, whatsup with you, seems you blow up my mind already with the energy you bring in here
Uh-huh..! He gollies so immensely, then scrounged.
She continues blushing and shorting audibly during the whole chit-chat with Garry and August
But her gaze would not move away from Akin's figurine.
Ha! What!
What's going on, why do you keep staring at me with your gigantic head, you've kept smiling and smirking, wouldn't you say something
What's behind your pleasant surprise
Miss Mistletoe!
Like he would always call her
She finally burst out animatedly!
Is Papa around..?
No, he's not in the garage at the moment, he has gone to visit some clients to repair some gadgets in their home
Perfect!
She then tweaked Akin to a discreet part of the garage
Guess what.
What ...you aren't playing the guessing game right now with me. Are you..?
I'm no good at the guessing game. By the way, why are you loitering around, you can't just keep lingering words in your mind and expect me to magically reveal them
Am no Harry Portals or Aladdin (magic genres and adventure movies) that would probably predict minds. Please highness...can you let the cat out of the bag.?
Barbara smirked..!
You remember CAssijay and SON's Limited, which we applied for the other day,
Oh yeah yes yes ...!
They chorused together .....I..you have been given the job!.
'OMG! he screamed exhilaratingly
that's my baby girl, you gonna become a city girlie so soon, common now,'
He animately pulled her towards him and embraced her with a delightful hug and they clutched onto the other almost forever.
Silence for some moments as Akin was lost in thought and expression, he hung into her arms with so much intensity,
Is he going to be far from me now..?does this mean I won't wake up to her face and tweak her nose like I used to..? Akin was lost in thought within the very seconds...

She loved me but wanted to be the queen of werewolves; that's all." Zander would realize how foolish he was.
