Breathtakingly handsome, thirty four years of age but age has got nothing on his looks and appearance. Ladies kind of man. Perfect height, perfect body tone, perfect physique and almost perfect all round. Eric though from Anambra state in Nigeria has lived most of his life at the overseas.

He is the founder and owner of Hadel textiles and fashions and has managed to circulate the industry all over the country and beyound while his major branch and office is at Lagos city.

It was after the death of his wife that he permanently relocated to Nigeria and only got abroad for business.

"Daddy!" squealed Ella and Precious as they ran to Eric. Eric lifted them up into his arms like they weighed nothing while they chuckled in the process.

"Sweethearts."

He kissed their cheeks lightly tucking in their hair behind while looking at his kids adoringly.

"Daddy did you get my shoes?" Ella questioned.

"What about my new socks?" Precious added.

Eric had been away the whole of the previous week and had promised them lots of goodies. He gently brought them down.

"Now,you close your eyes and only open them when I ask you to."

Quietly,while the girls closed their eyes,he sneaked to his safe where he hid their gifts and took them out. He hid them behind him.

"Now open up,open up."

Ella and Precious looked up at their father with huge expectant eyes. But they only turned sad the next moment.

"I'm so sorry sweethearts. I promise to get you all you want once I travel again. Pinky promise?" Eric pleaded with them as he made a sober face.

Ella and Precious looked down sadly.

"Hey,don't look that way sweethearts. Now see. Surprise!ta da!"

"Yeeeeeeeeeeey!"

The girls screamed in excitement.

"Thank you daddy!"

"You are welcome sweethearts and anything for you my babies.Now be good girls and go get ready for school." He kissed them lightly on the cheeks and sent them away for school.

Eric smiled warmly as he ran his hands on his hair. His kids,the ones he believed is his reason for living now. They are his strong hold and the reason he still smile even when he had a hole in his heart which can never be filled.

He had promised himself to love them always,to always put their needs and wants before his.

They make life make meaning to him and only because of them he wakes up each morning strong and ready to conquer anything and do anything for them.

No woman will ever come between them,he thought within himself.
