Title: How A Billionaire Fell In Love With His Cook After Eating Her Delicious Food
Chapter 1: Rock Bottom
"When Eno-Obong took a job as a cook in billionaire Adebayo's mansion, she only wanted to better her financial status and to take good care of her sick daughter. She didn't expect the rich tech boss to fall in love with her.
As his girlfriend Sade makes impossible demands, Adebayo finds himself drawn to Eno-Obong's cooking and genuine personality. Will the powerful businessman choose love over status? Read till the end to find out."
The rain pounded mercilessly against the thin zinc roof of Eno-Obong's one-room apartment in Ajegunle. Water leaked through three different spots, forming puddles on the concrete floor.
In one corner, her six-year-old Idara coughed in her sleep, the wet conditions worsening her chest infection.
"Not again," Eno-Obong whispered, placing a plastic bucket under a new leak.
She opened her purse and counted the money she saved. Five thousand naira.
Not enough for her daughter, Idara's medicine, let alone this year's rent, which is almost overdue. The landlord had reminded her a week ago.
Suddenly, Her phone buzzed with a message from her friend Blessing.
Did you see the job advert? A Rich man in Ikoyi needs a cook. Starting today. Good pay. I sent your number.
Eno-Obong's heart raced. A cooking job? In Ikoyi? It seemed too good to be true.
Some minutes later, Her phone rang.
"Hello?" she answered, trying to sound professional despite the leak dripping loudly behind her.
"Is this Eno-Obong?" a stern female voice asked.
"Yes, ma."
"This is Mrs. Kolade, house manager for Mr. Adebayo. We need a cook immediately and your friend recommended you. Can you come for an interview today?"
Eno-Obong looked at her sleeping daughter, at the leaking roof, at the final eviction notice on the table.
"Yes, ma. I can come. I’ll come as soon as the rain stops"
As Eno-Obong ended the call, her hands trembled with a mixture of hope and anxiety.
She hurriedly packed a few items into a worn black handbag and She gently woke up her daughter Idara, explaining that their neighbor, Mama Chidi, would watch her for the day.
The little girl's fever had subsided slightly, but her cough still rattled her small chest.
Eno-Obong pressed her lips to her daughter's forehead, whispering promises of a better life.
When the rain finally eased to a drizzle, she put on a simple blue dress, dabbed a touch of her precious perfume behind her ears, and set out for Ikoyi, clutching an umbrella.
The journey took nearly two hours—a danfo bus, two motorcycles, and finally a long walk that left mud splattered on her ankles despite her best efforts.
