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

"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,

After Gabriel left Derrick's office, Derrick sank back into his chair, thinking about his night escapades with Miranda."Oh, no. I was too hard on her," he thought, sighing.As he was about to close up and leave his office, Derrick heard a knock on the door and replied, "Come in."Alexa Godwin, wearing a black suit, nervously walked into Derrick's office. She had noticed that he arrived late and thought it was right to find out why."Good evening, Derrick," Alexa said, standing nervously across from him."Yes, what do you want?" Derrick asked, rubbing his jaw as he relaxed back in his office seat, looking at Alexa."Derrick, I didn't come here about work-related matters, but to check if you're alright," Alexa said, and Derrick sighed. Seeing Alexa, he felt guilty and couldn't explain his problem."I'm fine. It's just that I was stressed and woke up late this morning, but it's fine," Derrick said, offering a fake smile to Alexa that didn't reach his eyes."Okay. How about your mother?"

Miranda left the city and went to the nearby town where she had bought land five years ago. She rented an apartment there, and although she was in disrepair, she met with Agent Paul and briefed him on all she had been through and why she was no longer working as a maid in the city center.Agent Paul felt pity for Miranda and helped her find an affordable apartment where she now lived alone.Miranda was living on the lower floor of a one-story building. The neighbors in the building were curious about her life and why she chose to live alone, but Miranda didn't care to explain any of that to them. With Agent Paul's influence, the landlord gave Miranda a self-contained apartment. Though small, it was comfortable, with a private parlor that served as her sitting room and a bedroom of her own.Waking up early in the room to the start of a brand new day, Miranda remembered how Master Derrick had taken advantage of her—how he drunkenly confessed his feelings, made love to her, and had sex wi

Miranda held the door of her bathroom to support herself as she felt weak and her head was spinning. She stepped out of her bathroom and went to sit on her bed to rest for a while. A few hours later, when her body had calmed down, Miranda stood up, then she went into her bathroom to prepare a hot bath. She bathed quickly and finally stepped out to visit the hospital.Miranda stood in front of her room mirror, drying her wet body, and she dressed up in a blue gown and black shoes. She examined her dull reflection in the mirror once more, before she left her apartment, walking out of the building. She saw a neighbor of hers, and she greeted the middle-aged woman as she stared downward, approaching the gate. Miranda then exited the compound.Miranda noticed there was a nearby hospital, and she thought against visiting the pharmacy store closer to her house. With a leisurely stride, Miranda trekked ahead to the hospital.When she arrived at the clinic, she registered her name with the nur

I love Miranda as a child and yet Derrick didn't only send Miranda away, he also slept with her too."Lady Loretta had complained to two of her daughters, after Nicole and Evelyn came to visit her.Nicole gasped, "Mom, you mean brother actually did sl

Derrick stood up from the stool he was seated beside the bar in his sitting room. He was having a glass cup of wine and dropped it to check on who was there.Approaching the door, Derrick pulled it open and saw his immediate elder sister, Nicole standing there with her baby in her arms."Can I come in?" Nicole asked with a smile curved up her lips."Yes, come in," Derrick replied, moving away from the door as he went back to sit drinking.Nicole knew her brother was going through a hard time. He had never taken a liking for any of the maids before. She would soon be going home, so she came to see Derrick first.Derrick sat on the stool, his back facing his sister as he resumed drinking."I'm already going home, and I just came to tell you goodbye," Nicole said, and Derrick remained quiet.Derrick had thought that his elder sister came to scold him, but the reverse was the case."It's alright. Drive safely home," Derrick replied. He didn't turn to stare back at his sister as he continu

Derrick moved away to the dining table, away from his mother, as he didn't say a word to her. Also, he sat at a far end of the dining table, sitting on the chair three seats away from Lady Loretta and Alex."Mama, what did Uncle do to you? You should forgive him," Alex said, innocently, and Lady Loretta smiled."Derrick didn't do anything wrong to me directly. But you remember Miranda, right?" Lady Loretta asked, just as the rest of the maids stepped out from the kitchen to serve them breakfast."Yes, I know the pretty maid, Mama. I wanted to marry her, but Master Derrick warned me to keep my distance away from her," Alex said, thoughtfully, and Lady Loretta sighed once more."Hmm, Derrick shamelessly slept with her and sent her away.""What!!" Alex's hold on his spoon tightened."Uncle did what? My goodness!' Alex gasped, and he met Derrick's gaze, who frowned and looked away from them. Derrick had warned Alex not to show up at his house, yet Alex disobeyed him, and he knew, that was

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

"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

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.

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.

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
