DEN OF LOVE (A Novel by Treasure Isaac)

"It's obvious that I can't keep this baby, I don't have the resources and confidence to raise her, the suffering is too much, and the Society is unfair" Linda said as she dropped her new born baby in a trash bin.

two orphans, Cindy and Blossom. were born and dumped in a refuse bin by their irresponsible mothers, who thought they were not capable enough to mother a child.

Cindy was a beautiful girl born and dumped in a bin.

While Blossom was a boy, his teenage mother gave birth to him in a hospital and ran away, her boyfriend was not aware of her pregnancy, and he was also in another city. She (Miriam) gave birth to Blossom and ran away for fear of societal stigma.

Cindy was picked up by a road cleaner and was taken to an orphanage home, while Blossom was taken care of, by the hospital, till he was 1 year 3 months. The hospital made every effort to reach out to his relatives but couldn't, because Miriam left no identity behind. He was also taken to the same orphanage home.

Blossom was bought at his 1 year 5 months, while Cindy was bought at below 1 year.

They both lived and grew in the orphanage. Blossom was attracted to Cindy at their tender age, and he loved taking care of her as a sister in the same home, but as time progressed, when Cindy was 8 years and Blossom 10 years, they felt something strong for each other and they became friends and playmates.

At the age of 13 years, Blossom was adopted by a prominent politician Mr. And Mrs. Cowel, who were married for many years without a male child.

They had only one daughter and needed a son. They adopted Blossom from the orphanage home and changed his name to Bryan.

Cindy at the age of 10years was adopted by a billionaire businessman, Mr. And Mrs. Binta who were also married for 17 years without a child. They adopted Cindy and changed her name to Ella.

Both parents took care of their adopted children. Bryan was trained to become a medical doctor and into politics too.

Cindy was only trained to a secondary level of education, her father refused to train her in the University, for fear of her being attracted to other men.

He had the intention of having babies with her since his wife couldn't conceive, hence, he turned Cindy to a sex toy at the age of 15 years, he was very mean and heartless.

He managed to train her on a fashion and designing vocation, which she was very dedicated and fulfilled at.

Cindy was a very ambitious Young girl, who always dreamt of becoming a first lady someday. Her father was very possessive of her and never gave her a chance to associate with other people, for fear of losing her to another man.

His wife Mrs Grace Binta was not aware of those evil intentions of her husband. She never had much time to attend to family issues, she was a very busy business woman who was always at her business centre. She had Three estates that she was controlling and dedicated 80% of her time to it.

As soon as Bryan was 19 years, his father introduced him to Kate, daughter of their family friend, a wealthy politician too. Kate was a marine engineer.

Kate and Bryan became friends and grew with great ambition and intention to become a couple as demanded by their families. Bryan always remembered Cindy, but didn't know where and how to reach out to her.

He had strong feelings for his childhood Friend Cindy but was helpless because he had no clue on how to reconnect with her since their adoption. But the world is a small place, what goes around, always comes around.

Bryan graduated from the University and finished his master's course and became a medical doctor. Kate also finished and graduated as a marine engineer. They were doing very well.

As the only son of a billionaire, his family wanted him to marry so as to start his own family and expand their lineage.

Both families agreed to their marriage. They were at the point of commencement when Bryan called his father for a meeting and told him about his childhood Friend that he missed and had fallen deeply in love with. He narrated the story of their orphanage friendship to his father and how much feelings he had for Cindy and added that he couldn't live without Cindy, that she was his ideal woman for marriage.

The both families insisted that they must marry and Kate had fallen deeply in love with Bryan. They proceeded with the marriage preparation.

Cindy was managing her fashion and designing company. She became one of the best designers in Britain and always posted her works on the internet to advertise her company.

As Bryan and Kate were discussing the design of her wedding gown, they decided to search the internet to choose their prefered design.

They came across a beautiful design made by " CindyElla designing company". As soon as they saw the design, and the name Cindy, Bryan paused on it and began to admire the design more than other ones they came across.

They took a critical look at Cindy's design and decided to reach out to her through the contact she dropped. Bryan advised Kate to chat her up, which she did and was able to get her contact to make phone calls with her.

They decided to travel to her city, to visit her company so as to see other designs of hers.

On their arrival, they met the receptionist who directed them to Cindy's office. They finally met with the C.E.O.CindyElla designing company, to discuss terms of business with her.

They were courteously welcomed and further introduced themselves to each other, and Cindy gave them a fair treatment, knowing that they came from a far city. They were showed around the designing hall to see other preserved designs for VIPs.

As they were looking around to make a choice, they sighted a diamond made gown, designed with a touch of yellow colour, they liked it and chose it for their wedding.

After they made their choice, Kate was very happy and showed admiration for Cindy's work. They kept talking and got into a deep introduction when Kate asked Cindy why she answered two of her names without bearing her surname.
