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

Lanre left for Lekki together with Pascal. A friend of Timitola was organising a birthday party and Timitola had recommended Lanre to be the one to do their makeup. She called actress Timitola to let her know she was already on her way so that they don’t get to think she was not going to make it.

“Are you nervous?” She asked Pascal who seemed to be by himself even while seated with her in the same car. Pascal told her he was not. It’s just that he has never been to Lekki. And the place was mostly for the rich. Lanre laughed.

“You can actually afford Lekki if Lekki is willing to pay for you”. Lanre said.

“You see, we get work from celebrities and other high class babes and some rich women. There’s no way we won’t be able to afford a place better than Lekki one day. We could all go on a trip to Dubai one day”. Lanre said with a smile on her face.

Pascal smiled back. He has never seen her smile before.

“You should smile often. You look more beautiful when you smile”. Pascal said to her. She could not help but blush as she was the one at the receiving end of Pascal’s compliment.

“I could try”. Lanre said. No one noticed the smile that crossed the Uber driver’s lips. He thought so too. She was smiling a lot today. He would have accepted her offer, but he would not want to risk his taking it out of business. He wanted his interaction with every of his customers to remain professional.

After a long drive and staying long in an hold up, they finally arrived Lekki at the address Lanre was given.

“Does she live in this house all alone?” Pascal asked Lanre. Lanre shrugs. She wouldn’t know. She only knows about actress Timitola who lives together with her husband. She can’t tell for this friend of hers. They bought rang the bell at the gate. The gateman opened the gate and Lanre identified herself as the expected make up artist.

“Madam sorry, them say if you come make I tell you say them don see another person”. The gateman said to Lanre whilst making funny faces and giving Lanre a suspicious look. Pascal’s focus immediately went to Lanre’s face. Will this make the smile that has budded out of her face wither?

Lanre asked the gateman what he meant by telling her they already found somebody else. “I told them I was coming na!” Lanre said feeling betrayed. The gateman made faces and giving her the “na you sabi look”.

“Madam abeg shift! I wan lock my gate (Madam go away! I want to lock the gate)”. The gateman said to Lanre shoving her away with his hand. Pascal refrained him from touching Lanre any further, while Lanre was on shock. After she had left Surulere down to this place, and bearing in the hold up, this is what she gets!

The gateman shuts the gate muttering something like Lanre must have heard that his madam’s boyfriend was in town and she had come to seduce him pretending to be a make up artist.

I Could Try!
