May I have your leftovers, ma? But when the billionaire lady looked into his eyes, a miracle happened. It was a quiet Monday evening, exactly 700 p.m. Inside Dubos, one of the most beautiful and luxurious restaurants located on King Street in Lagos. On every table lay expensive plates of steaming hot meals. some expensive jaw of rice, others well spiced chicken, creamy salad, and tall bottles of real high quality wine.
At one corner of the restaurant sat Emily, a 28-year-old self-made billionaire. She was the proud CEO of fashion boutiques and design homes spread across Lagos and many other cities in the country. Yet tonight, she sat there in the restaurant completely alone. No man, no guy, no boyfriend by her side. She wore an elegant, expensive gown that shimmered softly under the restaurant’s warm ceiling lights.
A gold necklace hugged her neck. Her diamond wristwatch sparkled with each tiny movement, and her high heels sleek and costly flickered with every shift of her leg. But none of her glamorous accessories could hide the emptiness in her heart. Emily had spent years focused only on work. She had ignored love and relationships, not because she didn’t want them, but because of the pain she’d been through.
Many men had dumped her back when she had nothing. They called her names. They mocked her, labeling her a gold digger simply because she doesn’t have money. Those painful experiences had scarred her, but they also fueled her. She turned her pain into power. She promised herself that she would build a future so strong and so successful that no man would ever dare walk out on her again. And she did.
But success came at a cost. Now that she had everything, money, fame, powerful men came back into her life. But this time they came not out of love, but out of greed, she knew it. She tested them in clever ways, pretending to be poor or helpless, and each one failed. They revealed their true intentions and they always walked away when they saw there was no money to gain.
