IN LOVE WITH MY SECRETARY Episode 5

Oluyemi’s POV

After months of challenges gossip, judgment, whispered warnings I finally understood what it meant to love someone fully. Eniola had taught me patience, vulnerability, and courage. Loving her wasn’t easy, but nothing worth having ever is.

We had restructured the office to give her independence and respect. She was no longer just my secretary; she was a consultant, a partner in spirit, and someone whose intelligence and drive could stand on its own. Watching her walk confidently into meetings, her voice heard and valued, filled me with pride.

That night, I planned a quiet surprise. No grand gestures, no public declarations just us. I led her to the rooftop of our office building. The city stretched below us, lights shimmering like a thousand stars. Rain had stopped, leaving the air clean and cool.

“Eniola,” I began, my voice unsteady for the first time in years. She looked at me, curious and cautious. I dropped to one knee, holding a small, simple ring. “I don’t need titles, status, or approval from anyone else. I only need you. Will you marry me?”

Her eyes widened. A silence passed between us, heavy with emotion. Then, tears glistened as she smiled, a mix of relief, joy, and love. “Yes,” she whispered. “Yes, Oluyemi. I will.”

Eniola’s POV

I had imagined this moment countless times quietly, nervously but reality was better than I could have dreamed. The man I loved, the man who had risked everything to be honest with his heart, was asking me to spend my life with him. All the doubts, the fears, the gossip faded in that moment.

I took his hands in mine, feeling the warmth, the reassurance, the unwavering truth of his love. “I love you,” I said simply. “And I choose you. Always.”

He pulled me close, and for the first time, the world outside didn’t matter. We were no longer constrained by titles, roles, or expectations. We were partners, equals, lovers, and friends.

Oluyemi’s POV

We married quietly a few months later, surrounded by only family and closest friends. The office celebrated, but this time, there was no fear, no judgment only respect for the bond we had nurtured through trials.

Every morning, I wake and see her beside me, and I am reminded that love is more than rules and roles. Love is courage, honesty, and partnership. Eniola has transformed not just my heart but my life.

Eniola’s POV

I don’t remember when admiration turned into love, or when fear turned into trust. All I know is that I fell for the man behind the suit, the CEO, the controlled exterior. I fell for Oluyemi the man who chose love over everything else.

Together, we’ve learned that titles are meaningless compared to the bond of two hearts willing to face the world together. Love isn’t perfect, but ours is real, resilient, and unshakable.

And as I hold his hand, walking through life side by side, I realize: we were never just a boss and a secretary. We are a story of love, courage, and the beauty of choosing each other every day.

The End.....
