A Mistaken Night With The CEO 101| Meeting Larry's parents
Miranda was nervous as the car drove ahead to the city road. She sat in the back with her son while Oliver kept staring out the window."Mom, where are we going?" Oliver asked nervously again as it was his first time traveling a long distance."We are going to the city, Oliver. To see Uncle Larry's family before we go to see your Dad," Miranda replied as she held her son's left hand that was closer to her right hand while Larry focused his gaze on the road."Okay, Mom," Oliver didn't ask any more questions. A few hours later, they arrived at the city center, and Miranda was feeling more nervous with each passing moment."We have arrived at the city center," Larry said to Miranda who sat behind him in the car while he drove ahead."I know. Derrick's family house isn't far from here," Miranda said."Really, do you still remember this city route?" Larry inquired as he drove ahead to his father's house. He was nervous, knowing that his mother had warned him to end his relationship with Mi

Miranda and Oliver entered Larry's car as he drove out of his father's compound, heading towards the Luis family's mansion."Do you know the way?" Miranda asked Larry, surprised he hadn't inquired about Derrick's family home."Yes. It slipped my mind before that they were the ones. I only realized it when I found out that Oliver was Derrick's son."Miranda remained silent, reflecting on what Larry said. She stared out the window, wondering what Derrick was up to, as she hadn't even called to inform him about her visit to his family home.It didn't take long for Larry to drive to the black gate and park. Miranda grew nervous as she watched the security guard open the gate.She remembered the last security guard who had escorted her out of the mansion like a thief. Memories flooded her mind, and her face turned sad, but she tried not to appear heartbroken."Yes, who are you here to see?" the security guard asked. He was taken aback to see the little boy who resembled his boss."We are h

Lady Loretta stared at Derrick, who walked into the living room and kept staring at Miranda. Miranda didn't want to look back at Derrick or say hello to him, but the moment Oliver saw Derrick, he quickly rushed to meet his father and hugged him. "Dad!" Oliver exclaimed excitedly as he hugged Derrick. "How are you?" Derrick asked, carrying Oliver up in his arms. The young boy replied, "I'm fine, Dad." "Okay," Derrick smiled and shifted his gaze to look at Miranda and his mother, who had a bright smile on her aged face. "Have you seen my Mom?" Derrick asked his son, and Oliver smiled, looking from Miranda to his grandmother. "Yes," he replied, and Derrick finally looked at Miranda, who didn't want to meet his gaze. "How are you doing, Miranda?" He forced out the question as he saw that she was with Larry. "I'm fine, good evening," Miranda managed to speak as she noticed that Larry and Derrick didn't want to greet each other either. "That's fine. Mr. Harrison, it's nice to see you

Nicole had escorted Lady Loretta back to her room to rest, and then she came to see Miranda. She was still hurt upon seeing Miranda and the handsome visitor, whom she didn't know, kissing."Miranda, can I come in?" Nicole asked. Miranda looked at her in surprise, wondering why Nicole needed her permission before entering the room."Of course. Come in," Miranda ushered Nicole into the room, making way for Nicole to enter. She saw that Nicole looked like her mother and seemed like a friendly person too."I know you might not love my brother anymore, and you might be angry with Derrick, but please forgive him," Nicole said as she saw Miranda's eyes looked red."I'm not angry with Master Derrick anymore. He's Oliver's father, even though I don't want to have anything to do with him. I still have to acknowledge him as my son's father," Miranda replied, looking away and staring downward.Nicole knew that she wasn't in the right to speak about what Derrick felt for Miranda, but she decided t
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 105| Begging Miranda
Miranda sighed after Oliver left her room. After finishing her dinner, she went to put the plate in the kitchen. As Miranda returned to her room, she lay on the bed thinking about how Larry's parents had treated her, as well as how Derrick spoke about loving her and wanting her to come back home. Soon, she succumbed to sleep on the bed. The following morning, as Miranda woke up, she realized she hadn't brought any clothes the previous night and, not wanting to stay too long, she prepared to return to the town where she lived. Her phone rang just as she finished having a quick bath in the bathroom. She anticipated going to find Oliver and help him dress to leave the house too. "Hello, babe," Miranda answered Larry's call, hearing his deep masculine voice. "Morning, sweetie. Where are you now?" Larry asked, although he wasn't pleased that Miranda had to stay behind at Derrick's place. He had to trust her. "I'm at home. I mean, I'm still at Master Derrick's house." There w
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 106| Son's refusal
Miranda gazed back at Derrick's face and told him, "Nothing. There's nothing you can do to win me back. You should move on. Oliver will always be your son, just as he is mine."Derrick gazed into Miranda's eyes, not wanting to believe her words. He didn’t respond as he turned and walked away from her, knowing that she disliked him so much. It wasn't his fault either; he had tried to talk to her before, but she had been adamant about not listening to him or coming back.Instead, she blocked him."Master Derrick, where are you going? Please wake Oliver up; we have to go back home now," Miranda said, and Derrick paused at the entrance of his bedroom."I'm not waking him up. Let him rest; he's in his father's house."With that, Derrick walked into his room, and Miranda stood there speechless. She didn’t want to enter Derrick's bedroom, as the mansion—and even the sitting room where she stood—held so many memories, and she was fighting back the urge to burst into tears.Miranda knew that s

Derrick smiled as he heard Miranda requesting her engagement ring."I've thrown it away," he smirked, noticing Miranda's face redden as she glared at him."You wouldn't dare do that. Please refund the ring to me. I had to wear this fake ring so Larry wouldn't find out," Miranda insisted, raising her left hand to show the ring she had quickly borrowed from Emily and worn on her left ring finger."None of the rings suit you. Don’t worry; I will get a new wedding ring for you. Let me have my bath first." Derrick stripped off his white robe, causing Miranda to gulp and quickly look away."What are you doing?" she asked, diverting her gaze from his muscular chest to Oliver, who sat on the bed, and Derrick smiled."Shouldn't I have my bath? Come here, Oliver; let me bathe you first." Derrick shifted his focus from Miranda to his son. As Miranda turned away in embarrassment, her eyes fell on Oliver, who smiled at her and happily got down from the bed to walk up to Derrick.Feeling uncomforta

"That's fine." Lady Loretta didn't press further, as she saw that Miranda was truly dressed and ready to leave their home. She sent the maid to get their breakfast.Derrick wore a white top and black trousers, similar to what Oliver was wearing."Mom," Oliver smiled and settled into the chair next to Miranda, while Derrick walked behind her and took a seat across from her.Miranda didn't like the fact that Derrick was sitting directly across from her at the dining table, but she suppressed her feelings and focused on finishing her breakfast so she could leave their house on time.As she sat with her phone, she felt it vibrating. Thankfully, she had put it on silent, but now that she was about to eat, she took it out and turned it off.Derrick said nothing to Miranda, who was seated across from him as the family gathered around the golden dining table."Mom, I think you have seen your beautiful daughter now," Derrick teased, and Miranda looked up to meet his gaze as he sat across from

Oliver wore a similar shirt design like Derrick's, along with black trousers and black shoes.They looked adorable as they walked into the big mall, browsing beautiful wedding dresses and accessories."Welcome, sir, madam. What would you like to purchase?" the sales assistant asked."Wedding gowns," Miranda said, and the young lady clad in a white top and black skirt showed Miranda the collection of wedding dresses they had."Wow, they're all pretty," Miranda smiled as she browsed through the long white gowns beautifully displayed on mannequins."Which do you prefer?" the young lady asked with a bright smile."All of them," she joked, and the sales representative laughed."Lovely!

One week later, it was a bright, sunny Sunday, and Miranda with Oliver was set to travel to the city with Derrick. She had already packed most of her essentials and delivered them to the city. What was left for her was to carry her last box, filled with her clothes and also Oliver's clothes.Most of her cars had been sent to the city as well, but she didn't intend to sell her house or close down her shop. Getting married to CEO Derrick Luis didn't mean that she should discard all her hard work.The sound of a car honking at her gate disrupted her thoughts. Wearing a pink floral dress and plain black shoes, Miranda walked out of her house and approached the black gate to find out who was there.She planned to rent the house once she completely moved out and settled in the city. She had dismissed her gate man, but the estate gatekeeper was still present.Upon reaching the gate, she pulled it open after confirming who was there."Derrick," she smiled, opening the gate for his driver to e

THE NEXT SUNDAY MORNING..Derrick was in Miranda's room, and he spoke to her about her business."Babe, you know that as we're getting married, we will need to know more about our businesses. To follow me to my company and also, make our business jointly together," Derrick said. He lay on the bed, watching Miranda brushing her teeth, as he finished speaking to her about his father's company."That's nice. There's nothing much about mine. You know, I was thinking about it. I won't be able to keep in touch with them here if I go with you. So can we open another branch in the city, while we base there?" she asked him, as she finished brushing her teeth in the bathroom."That's fine. I haven't considered that before. But we need to expand our business to more states," Derrick said.Miranda smiled and joined him on the bed after she was through brushing her teeth. She hugged him and kissed him directly on his lips."Babe, I'm discussing with you about our business, and all your focus is on

"Welcome," Miranda told Derrick as she hugged and kissed him lightly on his lips."Welcome, Dad," Oliver said, and Derrick smiled at him. "Thank you."They entered the house together and made their way to the couch."What's the delicious smell? Is your chef around?" Derrick asked about Emily, and Miranda blushed."No, Emily isn't my chef but my friend. Her mother works for me though, so I took her like my sister," she said, leading Derrick to the dining table, and he smiled as he settled on a chair beside her.Oliver took his seat beside Derrick, and Miranda stood beside Derrick and set his meal in front of them. She walked up to meet Oliver and placed his meal in front of him before she went to sit across from Derrick."How do you see the meal? It's my first time officially cooking," she blushed, observing Derrick's and Oliver's faces as they prepared to taste the food."Um, it's yummy, Mom," Oliver beams and smiled."It's nice," Derrick commented, and Miranda smiled at them and resp

She knew he was in a good mood and had heard he went to meet Miranda."Welcome back, Mom," Derrick said, and his mother replied calmly, "Thank you. You look so happy. How are Miranda and Oliver doing?""They are fine, Mom," Derrick said, still smiling, and that made his mother look relieved."I am happy to hear that. It's good to see that she has forgiven you. So when did you both plan to marry?" Lady Loretta asked."Soon," Derrick said, standing up from the couch. "I will propose to her, I have lovely plans for that. So don't worry."Lady Loretta smiled, looking at Derrick's handsome face. "Okay," she agreed."I have to go upstairs and freshen up. How is your health now, Mom?" He looked at hi

Once Derrick and Oliver were in the room."Would you like to bathe?" Derrick asked his son."No, Dad. I am tired," Oliver replied and went to his bed to sleep."How do you see my room, Dad?" Oliver asked as he went to climb on his bed happily."It's beautiful and handsome like you. A typical boy's room," he replied and saw his son smile."Mom helped me to furnish it and buys a lot of game toys for me," he said, grinning from cheek to cheek."That's so sweet of her. I am sorry that I wasn't there with you before. But I promise to set up a bigger room for you in the city, okay," Derrick said as he moved over to his son's bed to meet Oliver.Oliver sat up on the bed and took off his socks."Okay, Dad," he replied and went to lay on the bed and drift to sleep.Derrick looked around his son's room, feeling guilty for being absent in his son's life.

This was the first time that he was taking her out on a date.Derrick requested a private spot, and he was taken away with Miranda to the Restaurant's private section.Derrick could see that Miranda appeared nervous. He smiled at her and considered in his mind to get her a lovely wedding ring and to propose to her. But he wasn't confident to propose to her in a restaurant.Miranda sat down first, before Oliver and Derrick, as there were only three chairs surrounding a table where they sat."What would you like to have?" Derrick inquired. Miranda picked up the menu and replied, "Just chicken pepper soup is okay."She looked at her son and asked him, "What would you like to have, Oliver?""The same, Mom," Oliver smiled. He was happy that his parents were together."Okay, bring the same request for me too," Derric

Derrick looked from Miranda to Larry as Larry walked out of the house with a smirk."Good morning, Mr. Luis," Larry greeted Derrick, extending his hand for a handshake.Derrick looked at Larry's open right palm, not wanting to accept his hand. However, upon seeing Miranda looking at him, Derrick finally shook hands with Larry."You should consider yourself lucky that she chose you over me. Congratulations," Larry smirked and waved goodbye to Oliver.He walked away to his car while Derrick shifted his gaze and looked at Miranda.Miranda blushed as she watched Larry get into his car and drive off."What were you doing with him?" Derrick asked as he moved closer to meet Miranda by the door frame, just as Larry's car drove out of her residence."Mom!"

Derrick wasn't pleased that Miranda didn't respond to him after he had woken from his sleep and checked his phone for any possible missed calls. He decided to have his bath, bathe Oliver, and they dressed up in black suits, preparing to visit the local town. "Dad, where are we going to?" Oliver inquired as Derrick dressed him up in the room, combing his son's black hair. "We are going to see your Mom, and my company too," Derrick's reply was short, but Oliver giggled "Yay!" Oliver excitedly walked out from the room with Derrick, and they made their way downstairs. "Good morning, Aunt," Derrick greeted Lady Evelyn, who was around and wearing a white nightdress. She was a chubby woman and very tall in height. "Derrick, where are you and Oliver heading to? I almost forgot that you are controlling Dad's company. Because you're always at home," said Lady Evelyn. She sat on a chair at the dining table. Derrick smiled as he led Oliver to settle on their seat. "I just wanted to t
