Chapter 01
It sounded six thirty in the morning, the sky in his azure costume that showed no clouds, foreshadowed that the weather would certainly be beautiful. You could hear the little birds announcing the beginning of a new day with their melodious voice resonating throughout the atmosphere. I remembered this joy that flooded me even though I kept wondering if my dreams would become reality. My only prayer was that I could achieve the goal I set myself that day.
I have already woken up I was sitting on my mat, I had taken the first notes of my heartbeat to thank the Lord for the breath of life he never stops giving me every day, not forgetting for those of my mother's lioness and my sumptuous sister.
After I finished praying, I looked at the screen of my mobile phone and realized that there were not many minutes left for it to ring seven o'clock in the morning. So I got up to get ready because I have to go to my boss's residence.
I came to the living room where I saw my mother cleaning the room. I greeted her and she answered me with her beautiful voice, which gave me the strength to face all the problems I faced. I had taken her blessings that she never stopped giving me and then I had distorted her company to go outside where I saw my sister Ernestine who was at the well and drew water.
I approached her because I too wanted to take water so I could shower. She greeted me once she noticed my presence next to her and I answered her by teasing her so that she could draw water from me. She started with her game as if she didn't want to fill the bucket I had in my hand.
We teased ourselves a little, and after she filled my bucket I took the direction of the shower leaving it.

AT THE MANOIR DES SEIGNING...
*** PRINCESS BRENDA ***
Oh, I have to do it quickly to get ready otherwise my father will get angry with me. All this is because I went to bed late, while we have a very important meeting to do.
—Brenda, are you already ready?
—Yes Dad, I'm going to go down in a few seconds.
—OK, I'm in the living room.
—Okay my darling dad.
Without further delay, as I have already finished applying makeup, I went down to join my father in the living room. I came to the living room and saw my father and mother talking.
When my mother saw me, she began to look at me and spoke.
MARIA: Wow!!! Is this my baby? How beautiful she is!!!
ME: Thank you very much mom, I look like you. Do you see how you still shine despite the age you are?
MARIA: Humm!!! What do you mean by that? That's why I'm an old woman or am I wrong?
ME: Dad, have I said such a thing now?
JOHN: No, but I don't see the evil there if that's what you said. Because Madame must accept that she is no longer in the 1960s.
MARIA: Oh, is that right? I understood, but despite that you still continue to make jealousy.
JOHN: That makes sense my dear, don't forget that you are my life and it's impossible for me to share my life with someone else or let anyone approach my life.
ME: Wow!!!! How beautiful it is.
JOHN: Well Brenda, can we leave now?
ME: Yes Dad, I'm already ready.
After hugging my mother, I went outside leaving her with my father who was still exchanging a few words with her.
MARIA: My dear I don't understand today it's Saturday and you say you have a meeting at work?
JOHN: My queen is an unexpected and an opportunity that we cannot miss. The meeting was for Monday, but it was last night that I received the call from Mr. NGO who made me understand that he is going to travel today, I hope you understand me?
MARIA: Yes, I understand my darling, well I'll at least take you back outside.
JOHN: Okay, my queen.
I was in the car waiting for my father when he came to join me and we took the road to this business meeting with one of our biggest partners.
Oh I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Brenda Seigning, I am the daughter of John Seigning a great businessman and Maria Seigning a businesswoman. So as you can see, I was born into a business family if we can say that like that.
A young lady, beautiful, seductive, with my form disarming, I am twenty-three years old and I have already had my master's degree in marketing and communication. Not to mention that I am also present in cinema, modeling. Oh yes, apart from studies, I am also under the spell of the Muses. So I'm an actress, a model. These two worlds are really important for my existence and even sometimes I wonder if my graduations will be used for something, oh yes, they will be used for something because I even already work in my father's company and I think I am present in a little of everything, there I will be a great businesswoman just like my sumptuous mother.
For me, the world of the love relationship did not yet exist. Just because it's not too much my thing, which would simply mean that I'm alone in my love life. My boyfriend is my job, my passions and my dreams.
On the other side ( BENIN )
I have already prepared to take the road to go to my boss's house. Once in the living room, I saw my mother sitting with my sister who had her eyes immersed in her notebooks. Yes Ernestine has a composition to do next week, which is why she clung to her revisions just as I did before.
ME: Mom, I'm going to ask to take the road otherwise I'll be late, while knowing my boss, he's really complicated.
With these words I went out of the room to come outside as my sister was revising I didn't want to disturb her. My mother followed me outside and spoke. I.
ANGÈLE: Rick my boy you don't give yourself time to rest anymore, even on weekends you're at work. With what you do, do you know you're going to get sick? May God not dare that this happens, but, you must give yourself rest because you are not a machine.
ME: Mom, I see that you're worried about me, as always. But I am the man of the house and I have to take things in hand. Ernestine will compose next week, she has not yet paid off the school money and I know she will be sent back from the composition room if she does not pay. I know very well that your business no longer gives as before and it's getting worse and worse. I even wonder what we would do if Mr. KAKPO did not ask us to stay in this house to maintain it for him, what we would do with rent and everything else. I also wonder what will be done when Mr. Kakpo returns home because we have no connection with him and he will necessarily need his house.
ANGEL: My boy, I know that our God will not abandon us and only he knows why all these things happen to us. You're not a lazy man and you don't stop fighting, so know that your dreams will become reality and that I'm sure my baby.
ME: Mom, I know this very well and I know that with God by my side I will make my dreams a reality.
ANGÈLE: Speak well, my boy.
ME: Mom, I'm going to ask to leave.
ANGÈLE: Okay my boy, I hope you prayed?
ME: Of course yes, Mom.
ANGEL: OK be careful my boy and may God protect you for me.
ME: Amen Mom, take good care of yourself too. I'll be back in the evening, I don't know when I'm going to go home yet. But it will still be in the evening.
ANGEL: OK my son.
Without further delay, I got out of the house and once at the gate, I took a motorcycle taxi and headed to my boss's house.
