The crowd outside the Supersave supermarket stood frozen like mannequins. A Bentley sleek had just pulled up on the dusty roadside. No one expected what came next.

A woman stepped out, tall and radiant, her figure wrapped in an elegant cream-colored jumpsuit. Her heels clicked confidently on the pavement, and her presence turned every head. That was Monica.

People knew her. She wasn’t just any woman. She was the Monica Williams, billionaire tech genius, Africa’s software queen.

The Monica behind EmTech, the face on Forbes Africa, the one every mother prayed their daughters would become. But today, Monica wasn’t here for an interview, or a board meeting, or to shop for exotic wine. She was walking straight toward a homeless man.

He sat on the sidewalk near a stack of empty crates, his tattered brown coat layered over a faded green shirt that hadn’t seen soap in weeks. His beard was tangled like a forest, his hair spilled out in every direction, a ragged black bag hung from his shoulder like it was carrying his entire life. He looked up slowly, confused.

No one ever came to him, especially not a woman like that. She paused in front of him and smiled. My name is Monica, she said, softly.

The man blinked. Jacob. Jacob Uche.

And then, just as everyone’s jaws dropped, she did the unthinkable. I’ve seen you here, she said. You speak like a scholar.

You talk about data and business like someone who’s lived in that world. I don’t know who you are, or where you’re from. But I believe, I believe you just need a second chance.

She took a deep breath. Her heart thundered in her chest. So I’m asking you something crazy.

Will you marry me? The street went silent. Jacob’s mouth parted in disbelief. He shook his head slightly, trying to process what he had just heard.

Then he smiled, but it was sad. If you really mean that, he said slowly, go inside that supermarket, buy a ring. Come back, kneel down, and ask me like you mean it.

Gasps erupted from the onlookers. Is he mad? Who rejects a billionaire? But Monica didn’t flinch. She turned, walked calmly into the supermarket, and just five minutes later, she returned.

In her hand was a diamond ring worth more than most people’s houses. And without hesitation, right there in front of dozens of shocked strangers, the billionaire single mom bent one knee and raised the ring. Jacob Uche, her voice trembled.

Will you marry me? He froze. People filmed. Some cried….
