Albert's POV

"Finally five years is over!" I exclaimed excitedly. Jeez! I can't believe I'll ever find the patience to wait for a woman this long. But just because it's this particular woman that has driven me crazy for over five years now I didn't care to wait for 5 whole years to be with her. I stared at the diamond ring I'd bought to propose to her and a huge smile spread on my face. "Today I'm going to surprise her with this ring" I muttered aloud and gave a deep sigh.

I got an info from an informat at the airport that she's returning from her business trip today. I know it sounds awkward to have an informat watch over her but I only did that of recent because of the plan I had in mind. With that information, I'm boarding a flight from Abuja to Lagos to give her the surprise proposal, I hope she say yes to me. Of course she'll say yes, she asked me to wait this long so she has no reason to say no to me.

An hour later I was already in Lagos airport terminal waiting for her. I was wearing my dark expensive blue and touch of black suit which I bought from South Korea while I was on a vacation. I paired it with a white designer button up shirt and a pair of black shoes. My hair was neatly combed and my beards was reduced and carved like that of Jordan Fisher that's only if you know who he is. He's an actor and quite a handsome dude, I've got comments many times on my IG page that I look like him, so I just had to create a new look that matches him if that would make Esosa Alexis Anderson fall for me.

Speaking of Esosa Alexis Anderson, here she comes. She was catwalking with her beautiful long legs which are exposed on the seagreen knee-length gown she was wearing. Her amazing curves were being flaunted in the gown and her upper chest and arms were slightly revealing her magnificent skin. Her beautiful brown...hell no, she changed her hair color to brownish gold. Wow! I love this, it suits her more than the normal brown hair she was carrying. Her hair cascaded to her back just the way I love it, and her face....her face has grown into much beauty than the last time I saw her.

Can someone remind me the last time saw this woman? Oh I remember, about five years ago! Quite a very long time. Would you believe if I tell you we've been doing business this whole time but we never saw each other? Well that's right, we're still business partners but we only talk via mail when necessary and sometimes I have my PA reply to her mails instead of me doing it because I don't want to be tempted to raise relationship topic with her. But today, the wait is finally over, she is just few steps away from me and I'm never letting her go again.

I appeared from my hiding and came standing in front of her with a priceless smile on my face. "Hello Alexis, it's a pleasure to see you again after such a long time".

"Albert? What are you doing here?" she asked surprise to see me.

"To propose to you my darling" I paused and brought out the ring box and I snap it open revealing the diamond ring. I went on my knees and I extended the ring box to her.

"What are you doing kneeling down in public? How did you even find me here?" she asks and I smiled.

"Please marry me, Alexis" I proposed. From my peripheral vision passersby were already forming up, just what I needed.

"What?!" She exclaimed with wide eyes.

"You asked me to wait for five years before you can think of marrying me, Alexis, so here I am asking you to fulfill your promise and marry me".

"Promise? I never promised to marry you Albert, I only asked you to wait for five years before you can ask me to be your girlfriend but that did not mean I'll accept your proposal whenever you show up. I'm sorry, I'm in love with someone else and we're getting married soon" she replied and I heard the crowd that has formed a circle around us make some annoying sound and whispering. My smiles vanished and was replaced with blankness.

"Wh-what did...you just say?" I stuttered in shock.

"Get up Albert, what you're doing doesn't make sense. How can you show up with a ring to propose to me when we're not even in a relationship?!" she whisper-yells.

"That is why I'm proposing to you, I want you to be my fiancee and then we'll get married shortly after".

"That's never going to happen Albert, I'm seeing someone already, I don't have a place in my heart for you. I'm sorry for disappointing you, perhaps if you had ask me before now I would have said yes".

"Damn lies! It was the same you who asked me to wait that you're not ready to be in a relationship but you still went ahead to be in a relationship with someone else. How could you do this to me, Alexis?!"

"Stop Albert, you are causing a scene here".

"I don't fucking care! Let them hear us, I want everyone to know how mean and such a heartbreaker that you are! You fooled me Alexis, five whole years I waited for you not knowing I was just wasting my time. What kind of a lady are you?!"

She glance around us and I followed her gaze. All these damn passersby won't mind their business, they're already videoing this whole drama of us. The media is going to carry our story if those video get leaked out, they know us to be top influential individuals and that is the more reason I wouldn't like the video to be leaked out. I stood up with a deep scowl on my face eyeing from one face to another.

"Now listen to me everyone of you that is videoing us, if I find out what you are videoing gets to the internet, I'll make sure I put in my whole savings just to have you suffer the consequences of what you did. Don't think I don't know how to get any of your location, I have someone that can locate you no matter where you're hiding. And not only that, if you're giving it to a blogger I'll make sure I shut down the blogger's page and I'll have him/her arrested and jailed for as long as I want. I believe I've made myself clear!" I threatened and everyone of them began putting down their phones.

I return my gaze to Alexis and she was staring at me with a gape. "And you, you've got some explanations to do. Come with me" I gripped her wrist and dragged her out of the terminal to the washroom.
