A Mistaken Night With The CEO 120: Erica's arrest
At the Harrison mansion, Erica Harrison was annoyed as she remembered seeing Miranda at Derrick's mansion."That bitch. So truly, she has slept with Master Derrick," Erica sat in her car, cursing Miranda. She was bitter to know that Miranda had slept with Derrick and, not only that, Miranda has a child with him."What am I going to do now? How do I get rid of her?" Erica pondered as she contemplated calling Larry."Does he know that Miranda went to see Derrick? I cannot believe she's cheating on my brother with Derrick Luis," Erica said, and she swiftly retrieved her phone from her handbag. She brought out her phone to call Larry, as she couldn't shake off the feeling that Larry wasn't aware of Miranda going to visit Derrick.The phone call rang and connected.Meanwhile, Larry was in his office at his bank branch when he saw his phone ringing and picked it up."Hello, sister," Larry said, picking up Erica's call, and he heard her response, "Good afternoon, brother. How is your day and
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 121: Alone with him
Miranda had just finished having her dinner with her kids and Derrick, who kept looking at her face as he watched her eating. However, as she stood up to leave the living room and clear the plates to the kitchen, she still thought she was a maid in the mansion. Derrick stopped her, saying, "You don't have to worry about clearing the plates; the maids will come to do it.""Oh, okay," Miranda replied, not looking up at Derrick's face as she stepped away from her chair and asked him, "When are we going to see your mother?""Do you want to go and see her now? Although all my elder sisters are there, I was thinking why not stay with us? Later, we can go and see her," Derrick said, meeting Miranda's disapproving look directed at him.Miranda knew that she had switched off her phone because of Larry. She gulped and told Derrick, "I didn't plan to stay here until tomorrow. I just want to see your mother and for her to know that I care about her."Derrick was through with his meal as his appet
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 122: Cooling her cheek
"Hello, Austin. What is it?" Derrick asked as he picked up his ringing phone in the sitting room."The policemen have arrested Ms. Erica Harrison as you instructed," Austin relayed, and Derrick felt satisfied to hear that."That's fine. Get back to work," Derrick replied as he ended the call.He turned to face Miranda, who looked away from him."You don't have to worry about the slap; it will subside," Miranda said, wanting to leave Derrick's sitting room as she felt jealous, thinking it was one of his female friends who had called him."You shouldn't be acting stubbornly, Miranda. I understand you don't want to forgive me, but you're here because of my mother. So you have to look good before her. Come and sit; let me help you ice your cheek. I won't bite," Derrick said with a smile, but Miranda frowned."I will do it by myself," she replied, walking up to him to collect the ice pack.Derrick caught Miranda's arm and dragged a seat out for her to sit down beside his bar. He picked up
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 123: Feeling disappointed
Larry arrived at the city center in the evening at around 5 PM and drove straight to the Luis mansion, believing that Miranda would be there. He was enraged that she had lied to him about traveling to meet her business partner."How can she lie to me and go to Derrick's house? I cannot allow Derrick and Miranda to wed. Miranda is my wife," Larry affirmed to himself, thinking about the years he had spent bonding with Miranda and pursuing her. Now that they were supposed to tie the knot, she was backsliding.Larry took a U-turn and headed to the Luis estate. Erica had already briefed him that she had attacked Miranda and saw her with her own eyes—not like she was guessing.Larry recalled that he had advised his sister to move on since Derrick didn't love her, but Erica was just too stubborn to listen. He sighed as he finally arrived at the estate gate, where the security men stopped him."Who are you here to see?" the security man at the main estate gate asked Larry.Larry frowned, reca
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 124: Feeling at home
Miranda was tense in the sitting room after Derrick left her and went back to his room. She stood up from the chair and walked to his bedroom door to knock and beg him to release Erica from police custody.Derrick stood on his bedroom balcony, gazing out at the estate premises when he saw Larry drive his car into the driveway and park it.His fists clenched upon seeing that his elder sister had returned, and he moved back to his bedroom to welcome them since his afternoon nap had been interrupted.However, as Derrick pulled his bedroom door open to exit the room, he met gazes with Miranda."Can we talk? Please, you shouldn't have arrested Erica. You should let her go," Miranda said as she stood nervously in front of Derrick, fidgeting with her fingers as she watched him pull his bedroom door open.Derrick looked at Miranda's face, unsure of how to respond."Your fiancé is here to see you," he told her, watching her brows draw into a thin line."Who?" Miranda asked, and Derrick smiled,
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 125: In his car
"Larry?! What are you doing here?" Miranda asked, taken aback by surprise to see Larry, as she hadn't expected to see him. She was still relishing the fact that Derrick's family loved her, while Larry's family didn't.Larry frowned as he saw Derrick walk out of the mansion first. But Derrick didn't acknowledge him as he strolled up to his car parked in the garage with Oliver."Hello, Uncle!" Oliver waved to Larry, still holding Derrick's hand, not wanting to miss the opportunity to hang out with his father.Larry's brows knitted as he looked back at Miranda, who frowned and walked up to meet him."What are you doing here?" she asked, surprised to see him standing there and looking handsome in his black suit while he smiled back at her."I came here to pick you up, babe. Why didn't you inform me that you were coming over to Derrick's house?" Larry queried her, noticing Miranda frown and look away from him.Derrick approached one of his sleek black cars parked in the garage, trying hard
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 126: Hospital visit
Miranda held her purse as she walked into the hospital with Derrick. Derrick was holding Oliver's hand; the young boy didn't want to let go of his father's hand either.Miranda could feel the gazes of other patients visiting the hospital upon them. As it was night, the hospital's white LED lights were fully switched on, making the lobby bright.As Derrick knew the ward where his mother was admitted, he greeted the nurse and walked away.Bashfully, Miranda followed Derrick up to the top floor where his mother was admitted. As they walked out of the private elevator together, Miranda continued to gaze at Derrick's back, admiring him, but her mind was conflicted.Derrick, holding onto Oliver's hand, arrived at the front door of the ward where his mother was admitted. Just as he was about to pull the door open, Lady Celine and her immediate younger twin sisters, Olivia and Agnes, walked out of the room. They were dressed in similar long gowns and had their handbags slung over their should
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 127: Leaving the hospital
Miranda sat on another guest chair in the hospital room, which was vast and painted in a white hue."Mom, we came to see you, so we'll be going home now since Aunt Stephanie is here with you," Derrick let his mother know as he sat back on her bed, while Oliver sat on Miranda's lap."That's fine, Derrick. The doctor said I'll be here until the weekend. You don't have to worry much about me. You should focus on Miranda, who is here with you," Lady Loretta smiled at Miranda, who blushed and looked downward."Yes, Derrick. You two can go home while I take care of Mom. I have also dismissed Nicole to go home and take care of her husband. You two have done enough," Lady Stephanie added, and Derrick sighed."Okay, Mom. We'll leave, but make sure to take your medicine and eat your meals promptly," Derrick told his mother as he rose from her bed. He checked his wristwatch and saw that it was already past 7 PM."Don't worry about me. I'm happy to see you both together and am eagerly waiting for

A Mistaken Night With The CEO 149| Wedding Preparations
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

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.

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
