Wealth

Chukwuma finds himself once again lost in Deborah’s gaze. Their eyes have been locked for several minutes wondering in a different array of thoughts but the mutual connection of thinking still borders on marriage and the time it will happen.

Deborah celebrated her 34th birthday a month ago and Chukwuma knows for a fact that she desperately wants to settle down as soon as possible but cannot force his financial readiness to occur immediately, especially when she has little or no control over it.

Chukwuma on the other hand is thinking of all his streams of income and the reward still not amounting to what can help a decent man start a family.

Deborah eventually breaks the ice and drops the bombshell, “It’s over Chukwuma, I love you but I can’t do this anymore.”
