A Mistaken Night With The CEO 64| Frequent dreams
A relationship that Miranda hadn't expected to blossom had finally flourished. Larry Harrison was a totally different person from Derrick. Miranda couldn't explain why she had to compare Derrick with Larry.Remembering Derrick wasn't what Miranda wanted, but she couldn't forget how Derrick had kissed her. How he had held her closely that night and muttered his feelings for her. He had hidden it for long and pretended to hate her.Miranda knew that if she had been born with a silver spoon, Derrick might not have looked down on her. But he did, not once, but many times that she couldn't recount.As Miranda laid on her bed sleeping, she dreamt about Derrick again. He didn't look happy as always, this time, he was wearing casual home wear. They were in the Luis mansion, outside in the garden. Miranda was watering the plants to help them grow, while Derrick stood at the patio, gazing at her. He was watching her like a hawk, his midnight deep blue eyes following her.When Miranda met his ga

Six Years LaterAt the Luis mansion, it was a bright Monday morning. Derrick Luis finished dressing up in his room and set to leave for the local town nearby as discussed with his mother. He was wearing a black suit paired with a deep blue inner shirt. The previous months, he had introduced at least ten women to his mother, but the older woman ignored him. Her word remained, "Go and look for Miranda, and bring her back."Derrick's brows furrowed. It had been six years, and his mother was aging, yet she still couldn't forget about Miranda."Until you bring Miranda back, that's when I can accept a new wife for you."Alex and Juliet were happily married with two children, but Derrick was still single. He picked up his briefcase and exited his sitting room, going downstairs. Lady Loretta had aged more, and she was now walking with a cane.Seeing his mother sitting on the living room couch, Derrick sighed and gradually alighted the stairs of the mansion. He had grown into a more charming m

It was evening in Shark Hills town. A white school bus pulled to a stop in front of M.L. Mall, and a young boy dressed in a white and black school uniform, carrying a black school bag on his back, got out of the white bus. He wore black shoes and white stockings, and he sprinted ahead into the shopping mall."Mom!" Oliver Luis, a handsome five-year-old boy, exclaimed as he entered the mall. The mall was crowded with many patrons, but the little boy knew how to gain his mother's attention.Standing there and attending to some customers, Miranda excused herself and hugged her handsome son who ran up to meet her.Gradually, he was becoming the center of attention, more like his father. Oliver was dark-skinned, and some young women couldn't stop admiring him and imagining their daughters with him, for a potential future marriage."How was your day at school?" Miranda asked her handsome son in her arms, smiling at him. His deep blue eyes were twinkling, and his smile was so bright on his a

Miranda went into her office with Larry and her son, Oliver, as she walked up to her computer desk to pack up her black handbag."Mom, I saw a lady recording me with her phone," Oliver said, feeling uncomfortable as he remembered seeing a woman recording him earlier."When was that?" Miranda asked as she switched off her computer."Not too long ago, before we entered here," Oliver said, clearly disliking the idea of someone recording him.Miranda frowned and replied, "Maybe she was just using her phone. I wonder why she would record you?""Okay, Mom," Oliver decided to drop the topic and went to pack up his school bag and lunch box.Standing in the office with Miranda and her son, Larry smiled at the mother-son duo and said, "So Miranda, when will you be accompanying me to meet my family? We've discussed this before, but you haven't agreed yet."Miranda sighed as she finished packing her phone and car keys into her handbag. Now that she owned three fleets of cars, she was a successful
A Mistaken Night With The CEO 68| Mother's agreement
Derrick Luis arrived home late, fatigued, and he hadn't expected to see his mother waiting for him in the living room."Evening, mother," he greeted Lady Loretta, who smiled at him."Welcome home, Derrick. How was the company launch today? It has always been your father's dream to have his branch office in the local town's central district," Lady Loretta said. Though she was becoming older, she still had a retentive memory, recalling her late husband's wishes from a few years back."It was great, mom, and the area has developed quite a bit," Derrick said, remembering how busy and noisy the local town was, compared to the organized and quiet city center where the Luis Corporation headquarters was situated."That's fine. I've already had my dinner, as you know I don't eat late. I need to retire to my room and rest," Lady Loretta said as she carefully rose from her seat on the living couch.Derrick, looking stressed, didn't want to bother his mother with the topic of her considering his

When Miranda arrived home with her son, she drove into the compound and parked. Also, she thought to discuss with her son about having him accept Larry Harrison as his father.As she got out of the car, the security man at her home welcomed her once more, saying, "Welcome home, Madam.""Thank you," Miranda replied with a smile on her face. She went and assisted her son in getting out of the car before she locked up the car door properly.Emily Kingston, who was now living with Miranda, was on holiday from school, so she still stayed back at home with Miranda, whom she had adopted as her elder sister, instead of going home to her mother, Lady Blessing Kingston's house."Welcome, sis. Oliver," Emily greeted Miranda and her son as they had become acquainted."Thank you," Miranda replied, as she gave the bag she was holding to Emily to return it to the kitchen. She saw her son not wanting to greet Emily, and it reminded her of Derrick's behavior of ignoring his maids previously at the Lui

Miranda couldn't lie to Larry, she told him, "I love you, and I don't have anything to do with my baby daddy again. He's not in love with me, neither did he wish to see me again. Back then, he paid me off never to show up in his life again, and I was left with no other option than to leave the city. So you shouldn't worry about him."Breathing out in relief, Larry said, "That's fine. I'm glad that he ended things with you. Coincidentally, if we see him again, we will pay him off and maybe ask him to sign a co-parenting agreement with you.""Okay, but I do not wish to see him again. He was an aloof and arrogant man, and I don't want him to influence my son's life.""Do not worry, you have me with you, okay. And I promise to be a good father for Oliver," Larry said.Just then, Miranda's room door unlocked, and Oliver entered the room. He had changed his clothes shortly after having his bath by himself, and he was wearing a white Pyjamas."Mom, dinner is ready," Oliver informed Miranda,

Friday arrived in a twinkling, and Derrick Luis prepared to leave for his company's local branch office at the town centre. He woke up in his bedroom and got dressed in a purple shirt and black suit. As he made his way downstairs, he discovered that the hacker had informed him that Miranda's chat messages were encrypted and couldn't be read.Derrick sighed and picked up his briefcase, ready to leave the house. He noticed that his mother was not in the living room, and a maid greeted him, saying, "Good morning, sir.""Morning, where is my mother? Is she awake?" Derrick asked the maid. She nod her head and replied, "Yes, sir. But Mother is not feeling too well today."Derrick frowned. He had already made arrangements to go to the local town, even though he didn't like it. He was doing it because it was his father's wish, and after visiting the rural areas, it wasn't as bad as he had imagined."That's fine. I will go see her now," Derrick said, heading to his mother's room. She was clear

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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 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
