Thirty-Four & Men

Amelia Abidemi Benson is a lady in her mid-thirties who lives a successful life as the managing director of Newton Financing Cooperative, a Fin-tech company established in the heart of Ikeja, Lagos. Amelia was the kind of woman who turned heads wherever she went. Her skin, the color of freshly harvested cocoa, glowed with a softness that spoke of care and good living. Her curves, full and womanly, moved with grace, like a river flowing effortlessly around obstacles. Amelia’s face was the kind that stayed with you—cheekbones high and sharp, lips full, and eyes that sparkled with intelligence and the quiet confidence of a woman who knew her worth. Her hair was always neatly done, framing her face like a crown on a queen. ---- The depth of her beauty created a force for her, and also in her profession. She had dedicated most of her younger years to building success with hard work and determination, hence why she’s all wrapped up professionally.---- Yet, behind the strength and beauty, she carried the quiet burden of being alone. Friends of her age grade were married or on their way there, but Amelia had neither. Meeting men and going on dates have been the order of every weekend for her. Years gone down as an adult woman, her only confidants were Folashade, in her early thirties, and also her best friend from the University of Lagos, and Emeka, mid-thirties and well-to-do.
