Lanre and Ify are roommates and students of the prestigious University of Nigeria Nsukka, Enugu state. While Lanre is a beautiful light skin girl from the city of Ibadan, Ify whose full name is Ifeoma is dark skinned from the coal city, Enugu and both are undergraduates studying Mass communication and are in their final year. 
Unlike Ify, Lanre is the wild type who has her eyes for extremely flashy things, so when a guy approached her and asked her to marry her, she thought he wanted to hinder her from leaving life to the fullest until she realised he was the governor's son and wanted him for herself. But he was already engaged to Ify. What price is Lanre willing to pay to marry the "Governor's Son"?

The Governor's Son Is Mine

Ify was yet to get engaged to the Governor’s son, but in less than an hour, that will be the case. So it was only necessary that the Governor place security around her. She smirked after hearing what the bodyguards said. It seems she has lost her right to a private life now. She did not intend to waste words, cause she knew if she said she did not need security, they would not listen to her.

If didn’t want to pee initially, what she meant by going to ease herself was to get some fresh air and some space. But it seems locking herself in a restroom will be the biggest space for her right now. She looked for the restroom and ended up walking around the building with the bodyguards. She bits her lips knowing she had no clue where the restroom is. Then she turned and asked them to take her back to the hall.

Ify must have arrived on time because the Governor seem to giving an important announcement. It seems K will be relocating to Lagos soon. Ify smiled knowing that K will not be in Abuja. She intends doing her youth service in Abuja and had thought she would change her mind. But God must be in her favour.

Just as she sank deep into her own thoughts, how great it was that things has turned out this way, Ify heard her name being called. She wondered when K got up there. She must have not heard the rest of what the governor said after talking about the states housing contract being awarded to K. Ify suddenly wished she could hide. But she had to go.

“Later! We will break this off later! But for now, let’s do this, since I also need an excuse to leave Odenigbo”. Ify muttered as she walked up the elevated platform. She smiled across to the governor. But the man did not return her smile. She got creaky from the way he looked at her. The Governor told them to exchange rings.

Ify thought this was absurd. They would just bring the ring and they would exchange it. But then, it was nothing less synonymous to an arranged marriage. She gave her hand to K who inserted a ring into her middle finger. She did the same to K.

K gave Ify a wry smile. Then she got close to her. So close that the crowd got excited, especially the young ones. “Your friend looks exceptionally awful today”. K whispered into her ears. Ify smirked. She told him he must have meant Lanre looked tremendously gorgeous. K took her hand and faced the crowd with her. Then he took the mic.

“We will be getting married in two months”. K announced. The Governor’s eyes got widened. He involuntarily turned to take a look at K. K smirked when he noticed his father’s reaction. While Ify just held her breath not knowing if she should reject him now or still wait it out. But one thing was sure, “She was now confused”.
