"I'll ask again," He says with an husky finish on his voice, leaving his sitting position over to mine and squatting in front of me "Have you ever consider me as your type of guy?" I have the answer to that question already in my heart and he looking closely into my eyes freezes them from coming out. He's close, again, too close. Before I know what is happening, he steals my last words, like knowing exactly what I want to say next and preventing me from saying them.

A simple orphaned school teacher with a heart of gold meets a strange and helpless woman who has lost all memories of who she was. He takes her home and eventually marries her. However, their matrimonial bliss is cut short when the truth about her past is revealed. * * * Adedayo Michael is an orphan who works as a school teacher.

He can't walk away, especially after finding out that she has lost all memory of who she is. Adedayo does something that many Nigerians might consider foolish - he brings her home with him. Despite several attempts to uncover her true identity, he was unable to find any information about her. As time passed, he found himself becoming more and more entwined with her life. When friends, co-workers, and members of their church began to question their relationship, Adedayo decided to make her his wife in order to provide a label for their cohabitation. Although he told himself that this was the only reason, he knew deep down that his feelings for her went beyond convenience. If only loving her was enough to make her his for eternity, but it wasn't. Now, Adedayo is about to learn the hard truth as their marital bliss is disrupted. *** If you enjoyed my story 'When The Sun Sets In The East', click 'read' and save it to your library.
