A Mistaken Night With The CEO 41| Getting to know each other
Derrick entered the mansion with Alexa, who felt like a princess as he warmly held her hand."Good morning, Ma," Alexa greeted Lady Loretta as she noticed the older woman seated alone at the golden dining table and chairs."You're welcome, my dear," replied Lady Loretta as she observed her son holding hands with the pretty young woman."Do you care to join us for breakfast, or have you already eaten at home?" Lady Loretta asked Alexa, who smiled.As Alexa was about to reply, she noticed a pretty young lady emerge in a red sparkling dress, more expensive than hers.Instead of responding to Lady Loretta's question, Alexa became captivated, wondering who the young lady was and which family she belonged to, allowing her to afford such an expensive gown.She had seen Nicole wearing a similar design and wanted to purchase the same but hadn’t had the chance."Alexa, what are you staring at? Come join us for breakfast," Derrick said, snapping Alexa out of her trance as she got lost looking at

"So you're really a maid?" Alexa inquired, looking at Miranda with hostility in her eyes."Yes, I am. Do you need any assistance or help from me?" Miranda asked. Alexa quickly said, "Yes. Show me to the restroom. I thought you were a guest or one of the older lady's grandchildren.""No, I'm a maid here and not related to Mother," Miranda replied, smiling at Alexa."I see. Shall we go now?" Alexa inquired, to which Miranda said, "Yes. Come with me."Miranda quickly showed Alexa to the restroom.Alexa was fair in complexion, but as she stood beside Miranda, she realized that Miranda was fairer, making her wonder, *How could Master Derrick hire this pretty lady as a maid? Hmm...*As they approached the visitors' restroom near the living room, Miranda stopped and told Alexa, "Here's the visitors' toilet.""Okay, you can go." Alexa faked her smile at Miranda as she went into the restroom to relieve herself, while Miranda stepped outside to look around.Meanwhile, Derrick was still in the pr
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 43| Derrick's irritation again
Derrick was not impressed with his mother sending Miranda to call him. He was having a hard time seeing her around and was aware of the effect she had on him."Derrick, what's wrong?" Lady Loretta asked, upon noticing Derrick's frown."Nothing, Mom. Can we have our dinner now? I wanted to discuss Alexa with you before and ask if you like her, but I decided to let you rest," he said, and his mother sighed."Let's have our dinner first. It's already getting late," Lady Loretta replied, avoiding the subject of Alexa. She didn't know how she would tell Derrick that she actually wanted him to marry Miranda instead, knowing Derrick didn't like her.Seeing his mother not eating and looking lost in thought, Derrick asked, "Mom, is everything alright?""Yes," Lady Loretta snapped out of her trance, smiled, and picked up her spoon to resume eating.Derrick decided not to bring up Alexa again, noticing his mother looked stressed. They ate their meals in silence.Meanwhile, Miranda returned to the
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 44| Kissing her
Miranda had finished her dinner and returned to her room to take a bath. She tried not to think about Derrick, his mother, or how her day had been hectic with a lot of jealous maids gossiping about her.Miranda entered the bathroom, and as she was finishing her bath, she heard a knock on her bedroom door, startling her just as she walked out."Who's there?" Miranda inquired, and Juliet quickly peeked her head into Miranda's room to inform her, "Miranda, Master Derrick requests to see you upstairs immediately.""Why?" Miranda asked, but Juliet quickly responded, "I don't know. He just sent me to call you, and he looked really annoyed. So hurry up."Juliet left, and Miranda, who had just finished bathing, quickly dried her wet body and put on her milk-colored nightgown. She could have opted for pajamas, but she didn’t know why Derrick had sent for her and didn’t want to keep him waiting.With nervous strides, Miranda quickly exited her room and ran upstairs to the top floor to find Derri
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 45| Their encounters
Miranda hadn't anticipated the kiss as Derrick deepened it, not giving her a chance to breathe. His lips savored every concern of her soft lips, kissing her hungrily and fervently, drawing her to himself as if he wanted to ravish her.His body burned with an intense desire that he couldn't quench, having her standing so close to him. Derrick couldn't explain what came over him, and as their lips parted, they both breathed heavily. Miranda was stunned and wanted to bolt away from his sitting room, not expecting Derrick to kiss her.She remembered his mother had told her that she wanted her only son to marry her, which was why she had adopted her. Although Miranda's heart filled with excitement and her heartbeat quickened, she knew Derrick was drunk. His lips tasted of alcohol, and she recognized that the real Master Derrick she knew was arrogant, mean, and disliked poor people, of which she was one."No, sir. We cannot do this. I'm sorry, let me go back downstairs," Miranda said, wantin
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 46| Couldn't find Miranda
"Hello, Austin. Come into the house immediately; there's someone I need you to get rid of. Fast!" Derrick ordered. Without being told, Miranda quickly picked up her nightdress and put it on as she searched the room for her underwear. She knew pleading with the cold man in front of her was pointless. Her instincts warned her the previous night that he wasn't in his right frame of mind, but she fell for his drunken side. He was so handsome, kind, and sweet with his words, and she didn't even know when she opened herself to him, allowing him entrance to her body. Now he was sending her away as if she were a prostitute he was paying for their encounter."Take the money and leave. I don't want to see you here again," Derrick said. Miranda begged him, "Okay, let me go and get my bag. I need my clothes and my phone.""No way. So you can escape and run to my mother's chamber and cry to her? Leave!" Derrick's voice became colder as he couldn't trust Miranda. He knew how his mother doted on her,
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 47| Mother's plan
"I'm sorry, Ma. But I searched everywhere, and I didn't see Miranda. She's not in her room or around the mansion either," reported the maid, with her head bent low."Where could she be? Did she leave the house this morning? Are her boxes still in her room?" Lady Loretta asked, becoming worried as she knew Miranda had been behaving strangely recently."Yes, Ma. Miranda's bag is still in her room, but she's not there," Susan said, and Lady Loretta sighed."That's fine, go ahead and prepare my tea. I will find out later where Miranda went," Lady Loretta said, dismissing Susan as she awaited Derrick to come downstairs, but still, Derrick didn't respond to the maid or come downstairs.Lady Loretta wondered what was going on in her house as she finished drinking her tea, yet she didn't see Derrick. She stood up from the dining chair and went upstairs carefully to Derrick's sitting room to at least find out if her son was alright and not dead or something wrong as her heartbeat quickened.Upo
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 48| Disowned Derrick
"Derrick, did I hear you say seduce you? So you've had a fondness for Miranda all this while, and that's why you pretended to hate her?" Lady Loretta finally looked back at her son's face to see his reaction, but he looked away from her, replying, "No, Mother. I cannot be attracted to a maid. I don't want Miranda here; that was the main reason I sent her away.""Derrick! You are no longer my son from today henceforth. If you do not bring Miranda back into this house, then keep your distance from me as I disown you today! Only if you bring Miranda back will I accept you as my son. Don't bring any woman to meet me here as your wife-to-be. I don't want to see you or them anymore!" Lady Loretta turned to leave the sitting room, and Derrick tried to stop her, "No, Mom. You cannot disown me because of an outsider. You see, that's why I said she bewitched you.""No one bewitched me, Derrick. I was the one who adopted Miranda. I am the one who sent her to college. I trained her because of you,

Miranda wore a red dress that was loose-fitting, paired with black shoes, and had her blonde hair styled in a bun. Derrick wore a blue shirt and black pants, along with black shoes. 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!
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

When Derrick arrived in the city, he went home, getting the notification from Lady Stephanie that his mother was at home.As he arrived home, he walked into the house happily. "Mom!" Derrick rushed to meet her and hugged her.Lady Loretta sat on the couch and smiled as Derrick hugged her warmly. 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. He finally walked up to cover him up with his small blanket, careful not to make any noise that would awake Oliver.After that, he turned off t

Derrick's car arrived at a fancy restaurant, and they got out of the car and went into the Restaurant building together. Miranda was nervous to be in the same space as Derrick. 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!" Oliver let go of Derrick's hand and rushed to hug his mother, as he was also surprised to see Uncle Larry in his mother's house. Although Oliver knew they were friends, he didn't suspect anything bad."We are friends. So he came around to se

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
