A sugar baby

Sandra collapsed onto her bed, tears streaming down her face as she gazed at James' picture on her iPhone 14 pro max. The beautiful frame he had given her on her 25th birthday had fallen off the wall in her bedroom. Exhausted and overwhelmed, she reluctantly pulled herself out of bed, her tears still falling. She picked up the frame and stared at it, her weeping persisting.

"I used to believe that life was all about money and living a glamorous lifestyle, but I never expected to fall so deeply in love with someone like James. He was the last person I thought I would love, but now his father, my former sugar daddy, is preventing me from marrying anyone, including his own son. I thought being a 'baby girl' was the ultimate dream, but now I realize it's not. I can't settle down because of Otunba. If only I had listened to my mom," Sandra sobbed.

"Regret fills my entire life right now," Sandra said, her tears continuing to flow.

Sandra has achieved all her wildest dreams, now a powerful and successful businesswoman with a luxurious car and a stunning mansion. However, her sugar daddy is against her getting married. As her phone rings, she hurriedly answers to find James on the line.

"Hello, James," Sandra greets him with a soft voice, tears still in her eyes.

"Are you crying?" James inquires.

"My father won't allow us to marry," Sandra explains.

"Stay calm, love conquers all obstacles. We will find a way," James reassures her.

"What's your plan?" Sandra asks.

"I was thinking we could escape abroad," James suggests.

"Running away won't solve anything. We must face this together," Sandra insists.

"My father is stubborn, poisoning my mother against you," James reveals.

"It's all my fault, blinded by money," Sandra laments.

"I'll come over so we can talk. Stay strong, I love you," James declares.

"I love you too. Goodbye for now," Sandra replies, ending the call and placing her phone on the bed, reminiscing about her past.

Sandra stood in front of the mirror, twirling around in her dress. "This dress doesn't look right, I don't feel sexy enough," she muttered to herself. She hurriedly made her way to the wardrobe, running her hand over the clothes. Just as she was about to grab a crop top, her eyes landed on a black, backless, mini fitted gown. With excitement, she pulled it out and quickly undressed.

Slipping into the gown, she admired herself in the mirror and felt a surge of satisfaction. "I think this looks perfect for me, especially for Otunba," she whispered to herself. She walked over to her shoe rack and selected a pair of Gucci heels, the latest addition to her collection courtesy of Otunba's generous gift. The nine-inch strapless heels added an extra touch of glamour.

Grabbing her mini handbag and cellphone, Sandra cautiously peeked out of her bedroom. Seeing her mother engrossed in her bible, she silently slipped off her towering heels and tiptoed towards the door. However, her mother suddenly looked up and shook her head disapprovingly. Her voice echoed through the room, catching Sandra off guard and freezing her in place. Her mother's gaze scrutinized her from head to toe, clearly dissatisfied with her choice of attire.

"Where are you off to at this time of night?" her mother asked, a question Sandra dreaded. She knew her mother would inquire about her plans and she couldn't risk losing the money she stood to gain from spending the night with Otunba at the hotel. Panic washed over her as she struggled to come up with a believable lie.

"I... I'm going to visit my friends," Sandra stammered, meeting her mother's intense gaze. She quickly looked away, swallowing hard, hoping her mother would believe her fabricated story.

"Oh my gosh, Mom, when did it become a crime to hang out with friends and go to a party? I mean, come on, I'm already eighteen and perfectly capable of taking care of myself," Sandra argued.

"Seriously?" her mom replied, pointing at the wall clock. "Have you even checked the time?"

"Mom, can't you just keep up with the times?" Sandra pleaded.

"Mom, I'm gonna be late for the party. Please take care of yourself. I'll be back soon," Sandra hurriedly left the house, leaving her mom shaking her head in disbelief.

"Sandra has changed so much. She's not the same girl I raised with Christian values," her mom muttered.

Sandra is a girl with big dreams. She's always aspired to be a successful boss lady. She's beautiful, intelligent, and desired by many. She's willing to do whatever it takes to achieve her dreams. Coming from a middle-class family, she loves to enjoy life and she's fearless. She decided to take an Uber and head to a nightclub, where she unexpectedly met Otunba Adebayo Benson.

As she entered the nightclub, Sandra walked past the VIP section where Otunba was seated. Their eyes met, and Sandra made her way to the bar to grab a seat. She ordered a glass of wine from the bartender, catching Otunba's attention. Intrigued, he approached her at the bar to strike up a conversation.

"Hey," Otunba says with a smile as Sandra takes a sip of her drink and smiles back.

"You look so beautiful and attractive," Otunba compliments.

"Thank you, sir. You look handsome too," Sandra says happily, flashing a smile.

"Can I talk to you?" Otunba asks.

"Of course, you can," Sandra replies, taking another sip of her drink.

"Not here, can we go to the VIP section?" Otunba suggests to Sandra.

"Sure, we can," Sandra agrees, and they head to the VIP area. Otunba asks his bodyguards to give them some privacy.

"You're really attractive, baby. Do you have a boyfriend?" Otunba inquires.

"No, I'm single and ready to mingle," Sandra responds with a smile.

"That's nice. Did you come here with a friend?" Otunba asks.

"No, I'm here alone. I enjoy doing things on my own," Sandra explains.

"Do you live on the island too?" Otunba asks.

"I live on the mainland, but I always come to the island to have fun. Life is too short to miss out on the good times," Sandra says, smiling brightly.

"I live in Banana Island. I'm Otunba Adebayo Benson. What's your name?" Otunba introduces himself.

"I'm Sandra," Sandra introduces herself.

"What would you like to have? I'll ask the waiter to serve you," Otunba offers.

"I've had enough, so just tell me why you brought me here," Sandra says curiously.

"Can you be my sugar baby?" Otunba asks, pulling out some money from his briefcase. Sandra is shocked when she sees the money, but she can't help but smile. Otunba hands her five hundred thousand naira in cash, and Sandra takes it, looking at it with a smile on her face.

Sandra's radiant smile illuminated the room as she gracefully placed the money into her exquisite handbag. "Otunba, why did you waste so much time asking me such a question?" she playfully remarked. Otunba, captivated by Sandra's charm, couldn't help but smile in return.

"My answer is yes, Otunba," Sandra replied, her smile growing wider. "You took your time expressing yourself, but it was worth the wait." Sandra moved closer to Otunba, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Otunba, ever the generous gentleman, suggested, "Shall we leave this night club and indulge ourselves in a luxurious five-star hotel? Let us revel in the pleasures of life, if only for a little while."

Sandra agreed, her satisfaction evident. "We should depart now. I have had my fill of enjoyment for today," she said, her smile unwavering. Rising from their seats, Otunba summoned his loyal bodyguards to carry his prestigious briefcase. They exited the nightclub, where a waiting car door was opened for them. Sandra's happiness and excitement radiated from her as they entered the vehicle.

"Oh, how fortunate I am to have caught such a wealthy catch," Sandra thought to herself, a mischievous smile gracing her lips. "He has given me five hundred thousand nairas for just one night. Finally, my dreams will come true."

Otunba, noticing Sandra's constant smile, inquired, "Are you alright? It seems you have a penchant for smiling."

Sandra replied, her voice filled with genuine joy, "Yes, I adore smiling. Happiness is a constant companion of mine. Now, tell me a little about yourself. Share a glimpse of your life and your family."

Otunba, pleased by Sandra's curiosity, began to reveal his personal details. "You already know my name, and I am an Otunba. I have three children - two daughters and a son. James, my firstborn, manages all my business affairs. Omotara, my second daughter, is happily married. As for Omotayo, my youngest, he is still single. My wife also has her own business, but unfortunately, she doesn't always have time for me."

Sandra expressed her sympathy, assuring Otunba, "I am sorry to hear that, Otunba. But fret not, for I am here now. I promise to ensure that you never regret meeting me." Her smile conveyed both.

Otunba asked Sandra to share a bit about herself. Sandra replied, "I'm Sandra, the youngest in my family of six. My two sisters are married, and my three brothers are working hard to earn money." She smiled as she spoke.

The driver takes them to EKO hotel in Lagos. They arrive, get out of the car, enter the hotel, and Otunba books a hotel suite. They both go inside, and Sandra smiles as she steps into the room.

"Do you like it here?" Otunba inquires.

"Yes, I do. I appreciate how straightforward you are in telling me what you want," Sandra replies.

"Don't worry, I'll give you some money tomorrow morning before you leave," Otunba assures, making Sandra smile.

"Is there anything you need?" Otunba asks Sandra.

"No, Otunba, I'm already full. I just need to take a shower," Sandra responds as she undresses and heads to the bathroom. Otunba undresses as well and joins her in the bathroom. He turns on the shower, caresses her back, kisses her neck, and pleasures her intensely. Sandra moans in delight, smiling as she enjoys the moment. Otunba sucks her breasts, kisses her stomach, and pleasures her thoroughly. Sandra reciprocates by pleasuring him, making Otunba moan in pleasure. "You're amazing, baby," Otunba praises as Sandra continues to please him.

Sandra and Otunba have a fun time together. They ride on Otunba and have a lot of fun. Otunba is really loud and Sandra can't stop moaning because it feels so good. After that, they take a shower together and Otunba carries Sandra to the bed. Sandra is happy and Otunba kisses her.

"You're amazing! I never want to leave you, but promise me you won't cheat on me," Otunba says.

"Why would I cheat on you? You're so good in bed. I didn't expect this from you, Otunba. You still have so much energy and you're really sweet," Sandra says.

"You're so great, baby. And you're so tasty. Don't worry, before you go home tomorrow, I'll give you some money because you didn't disappoint me," Otunba says, and Sandra smiles.

"Thank you, Otunba," Sandra expresses with a smile as Otunba closes his eyes and drifts off to sleep.

"In the near future, Otunba, I'll ask for a car. However, I don't want it to be too soon. Then, I'll start my own business and become a boss lady," Sandra thinks to herself, smiling before closing her eyes and falling asleep.

The following morning, Otunba wakes Sandra up.

"Good morning, sugar baby," Otunba greets with a smile.

"Good morning, Otunba. How was your night?" Sandra asks.

"I slept like a baby after feeling you inside of me. You were so sweet. I want more of you this morning, but I have a flight to catch to Abuja. However, I need to go home first, so I have to hurry," Otunba explains.

"When will you be back, Otunba?" Sandra inquires.

"I'm not sure. I'll have to spend a few weeks there before returning to Lagos," Otunba replies.

"Promise me you won't look at other girls in Abuja," Sandra requests.

"I promise you, sugar baby. I won't look at other girls," Otunba assures as he gets dressed. He grabs his briefcase and takes out another sum of five hundred thousand nairas, handing it to Sandra. She looks amazed and happy as she accepts the money.

"Thank you, Otunba," Sandra says, smiling. Otunba kisses her on the lips and leaves.

"Last night, he gave me five hundred thousand nairas and today he gave me another one. Thank you so much, Otunba! I really love you," Sandra happily exclaims. She gets dressed, checks out of the hotel suite, and orders an Uber to go back home.

When Otunba returns home, he finds his wife and son angry. "James, what are you doing here?" Otunba asks his son.

"Where did you come from, dad?" James asks.

"I'm sure he went to meet his sugar babies again. Aren't you ashamed of yourself for sleeping around with young girls who could be your own children?" his wife scolds.

"Please, I don't have time for an argument this morning because I have to catch a flight. James, what are you doing? You should be at the office. Did you sleep over at your own house?" Otunba says.

"I slept at home. I came because mom told me you didn't come back last night," James explains.

"Mom, please calm down. I'll check on you when I get back from the office," James reassures before heading to work.

Sandra arrived home with a radiant smile on her face. "Where have you been, Sandra? You said you'd be back last night. I tried calling you, but your phone was off," her mother inquired. "I turned off my phone, Mother, because I wanted some peace and quiet with my Sugar Daddy," Sandra replied, grinning. "Sugar Daddy? Sandra, I don't want you associating with these older men. They can be dangerous," her mother warned. "Relax, Mother. He gave me a million nairas just for one night. He even asked me to be his sugar baby, and I said yes without hesitation," Sandra explained. "Why are you selling yourself short, Sandra? You're not a prostitute. I raised you better than this. Why bring shame upon our family?" her mother scolded. "It's fine, Mother. I was going to give you fifty thousand nairas from the money, but now I won't because you called me a prostitute," Sandra retorted before storming off to her room. Later, Sandra called Otunba. "How are you, my love?" Otunba inquired. "I'm well, Otunba. I miss you. Please come back soon," Sandra pleaded. "I don't think I can make it this week," Otunba replied. "But you promised we'd see each other this week. Why the sudden change?" Sandra questioned. "I have a lot of work in Abuja that I need to finish before returning to Lagos. Or you could come to Abuja, and I'll book your flight," Otunba suggested.

"Oh sure, I'll make my way to Abuja. Just let me know if I should come today or tomorrow," Sandra eagerly asks Otunba, her face beaming with joy.

"You can come tomorrow," Otunba replies, making Sandra even happier. "Absolutely, I'll be there tomorrow," Sandra confirms before ending the call, her happiness evident.

"I must go shopping today. I need to buy new shoes, bags, wigs, and clothes," Sandra declares as she gets ready.

Where are you going?" Her mother inquired with concern.

"I have to go shopping, Mother, as I will be traveling to Abuja tomorrow to meet Otunba," Sandra replied.

"What?! You are not going anywhere, Sandra. Abuja is too far. What if something were to happen to you?" her mother exclaimed worriedly.

"Please relax, Mother. Nothing will happen to me. I will be fine. I must get going now. Goodbye, see you later," Sandra assured her as she prepared to leave.

"Why is Sandra so stubborn? God, please protect her," her mother whispered anxiously, her worry evident.

Sandra hailed an Uber to take her to the shopping mall, but unfortunately, the taxi broke down on the way. Frustrated, Sandra asked, "What happened to the car?"

"I'm not sure, ma'am. It seems the car broke down," the Uber driver responded, stepping out of the vehicle to inspect the issue.

Sandra stepped out of the car, her anger evident. "What is wrong with it?" she demanded to know.

"Do not worry, ma'am. I will fix it soon," the driver assured her.

"You must comply because I am in a hurry and cannot remain here for an extended period," Sandra asserts, stepping away from the vehicle and proceeding towards the front. Suddenly, a car approaches from behind and splashes dirty water onto her.

"What?!! Are you blind? Oh dear, my beautiful dress has been ruined by such a foolish act," Sandra exclaims, growing angry.

The car comes to a halt and reverses, the window rolls down, revealing James, the son of Otunba.

"I am deeply sorry, please forgive me," James pleads.

"You are an absolute fool! Can't you see? Are you blind? You have just destroyed my dress, you fool," Sandra retorts.

"Hey, why the insult? I just apologized to you," James responds.

"Just be quiet and move this so-called car of yours forward a bit," Sandra demands, her anger intensifying.

James exits his car and approaches her.

"My Lamborghini, which you refer to as a car, could purchase your entire lineage," James declares.

"Why are you insulting me and my general?" Sandra exclaimed.

"You started it first, I was trying to apologize to you and yet you continue to insult me," James retorted.

"You know what, I don't need your apology. Just get in your useless car and leave, you fool, idiot," Sandra snapped, her anger rising.

"Oh, now I understand. I think you need to see a doctor before it gets worse. I can see that you're so crazy and don't belong where normal people are. Your place is probably at the psychiatric hospital," James replied, getting into his car and driving off.

"What? He called me crazy. Am I acting like a mad girl? No, he's just being a fool," Sandra muttered to herself as she walked back to the Uber driver.

"I'm sorry for the delay, ma'am. Your dress is ruined already, and it's all the fault of the car," the Uber driver apologized.

"Just shut up! This is all your fault. Why didn't you check the car properly before picking me up? Now I can't even take this dress to the mall. Take me back home, I need to change," Sandra demanded as she entered the car and the Uber driver drove her back home.

James arrived back home and found his mother waiting for him.

"Mum, what are you doing here? You didn't tell me you were coming over," James said in surprise.

"Do I have to inform my son before coming to his house?" his mother replied.

"No, mum, I didn't mean it that way. Tell me, what brings you here to my house?" James asked.

"James, I haven't seen you with any woman since your ex left. Tell me what's the matter," his mother inquired.

James reassured his mother that everything was fine and that he would find the right girl at the right time. His mother, however, expressed her concerns about his age and the need for him to settle down. Despite James' attempts to calm her down, his mother continued to worry. James then recounted a frustrating encounter with a girl earlier that day, which left him hoping he wouldn't meet such a person again. On the other hand, Sandra returned home in a rage after her dress was ruined by someone splashing dirty water on her. Her mother tried to calm her down and advised her to change into a new dress before heading out for her shopping trip. At the mall, Sandra was surprised by the total cost of her purchases and questioned the seller about the amount.
