While in the car with Derrick Moore, Sheila occasionally winced at the thought of how she had to deal with the loan shark coming for her the next day. It was still a 42 hour ahead event, yet she needed to worry that much about it, especially because of the embarrassment that she has to face if she does not have the money to repay. Her debt issue has been one of the numerous reasons why she had to find a job that could aid her to pay off those debts and free her life from the shackles of those merciless sharks as she usually calls them.Still engrossed in her thoughts about how she would escape her debtors, Derricks' phone call woke her from her thoughts. " Hello, Jenna," Sheila blinked; that name strikes a chord. "That's his girlfriend. One lucky bitch." She thought, jealousy was written over her face and she could not help it."I can not believe that he spent his weekend with her and still wants to while it away with her again. There are a lot of meaningful things to do with his s
Derrick noticed how nervous she was and decided to keep the conversation going between them so that she could feel more comfortable around him. "Do you live with Zoey in the same house?" "No, she was expecting to see me in her house today but when she didn't Zoey became worried and called to check as I was unable to call and inform her earlier." "Oh! I see." Somehow he felt relieved that there was nothing to worry about. He still had a chance if he could try winning her heart."Don't you ever eat anything at home? I noticed that your refrigerator was only filled with bottled water." "I do cook, however, it's been two years plus since I cooked or had someone cook a nice meal for me in this house. The only thing I do is order takeouts when I'm at home and hungry.""Just say that you don't know how to cook, I could tutor you on how to." Sheila giggles at him"You're hurting my pride. I just can't walk to the kitchen and start cooking. The last time I tried it brought back old memories
Jenna Morgan tried calling Derrick several times but his line was unreachable, he had promised to call her after their meeting at the weekend but two days had passed now and he still didn't keep his promise to her. Desperate she drove off to his company and just in time to see him drive off with his secretary.Unable to resist the curiosity that had overwhelmed her, she trailed behind to see what was going on between them and most importantly where they were headed. Sheila noticed that someone was following them but did not want to cause alarm so she kept quiet to see who it was, unknown to Jenna that someone had seen her, she arrived at the same time as Derrick."Hey, Derrick Moore." She called out to him as she stepped out of the car.Sheila turned around to see who it was and found out that the person that was following them was the real Jenna Morgan, standing before her. She knew that if it was in the latter days she would have been excited to see a movie star but, right now Jenna
Zoey kept staring at her friend without blinking. Sheila noticed the cold stare from her friend but pretended not to and tried to keep calm, her cheeks blushing often as she remembered what transpired between her and Derrick while she tried to avoid eye contact with Zoey. The situation was getting awkward between them and was becoming more uncomfortable for Sheila."I brought beer, would you like a drink?" Sheila asked her friend hoping she would stop her staring and ask questions instead. She knew that she was guilty but did not want to be the judge of her iniquities. "Okay, let's have a drink. I've been thirsty all along and how did you know that I was craving beer?" Zoey asked finally averting her eyes from Sheila.Sheila smiled. " The thought crossed my mind while I was walking down the street to your house. "Zoey nodded. "Cheers." They both clanked their can beer and drank in silence, they would occasionally stare at each other and belch.Sheila could not stand it anymore and
Derrick stopped in his tracks causing Sheila to collide with him, her front mashed up against him as they stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity until Derrick seemed to remember himself and pulled away, swallowing hard. He straightened up first pulling Sheila slightly away as he rubbed his clothes as if to wipe off the dirt. Luckily for the both of them, they had gotten to the driveway which was very far from the prying eyes of the employers."I'm sorry." Derrick apologized but Sheila ignored him and walked to where the car was packed.He got in and they drove off but Sheila could not take her mind off which business trip it was and who had scheduled it because for all she knew the only business trip that she had scheduled for him would come up in three months and nobody except her was authorized to meddle in his appointments and meetings.It was still a mystery to her who would have scheduled an impromptu business trip that would make him leave without informing her of
"I never thought you'd ever feel the same way for me," Sheila said as they sat in the parlor of Derrick's house having arrived from the airport a few hours ago. "What do you mean?" Derrick inquired. "I've had a long-lasting crush on you, even before I applied for this job. It was one of the many reasons I applied for the job when I saw the posting." Sheila said and blushed. "Thought you said GG was what you loved?" Derrick teased her. "Yeah, but I love its CEO, Mr. Derrick Moore more." Derrick chuckled. "I see what you did there. Why did you think I'd never return your feelings?" He asked, holding Sheila's gaze. Sheila stared back at him, hesitating a moment before answering. "Probably because you are Derrick Moore. My kind of girl could only dream of having a chance with you." Sheila replied and watched Derrick leave his seat and strode to the couch on the opposite and claimed the space a bit farther from her. "What if I tell you that I've always had a crush on you? From the s
"Oh, my godddd!" Sheila suddenly shrieked and jerked up from her seat in between their meal.Confused and worried, Derrick got up as well "What? What is it, Sheila?" He asked."You are supposed to meet with ADs executives this morning at 10:00 AM and..." She glanced at the wall clock in the dining room. "It's 9:00 AM already. "How did I forget that?" She asked, pacing around worriedly."Sheila, hey, calm down," Derrick said, advancing toward her.Sheila paused for a moment, "Why aren't you worried?" She asked, confused. "Oh! right. You are the boss. But, this is a really important meeting.""I know Sheila, and that's why I called them earlier to reschedule. You were sleeping peacefully earlier, I couldn't afford to disturb you." "Oh!" Sheila muttered. "But there are loads of other important meetings, we should get ready and be on our way already." "Don't worry Sheila, I rescheduled all of it. Come sit, let's eat." Later in the morning, Carter drove them to the office."Would you li
Sheila stretched her body and then got out of bed. For some unknown reason, she felt extremely energetic toward the day's commencement.After having her shower, and getting dressed, she took a cab straight to the office. One of the many company secretaries had called her last night to let her know that a letter had come in for Derrick after they left the office the previous day.When she arrived at the office complex, she picked up the letter from the secretary's desk and headed straight to her office to finish up with some work she had left undone the following day. While she was at it, she heard the clattering of shoes on the tiled floor and she immediately knew it was Derrick."Good morning, Mr. Moore." She greeted him with a slight bow of the head when he neared her desk."Morning, Sheila." He flashed her a smile and carried on into his office. Sheila dragged into her lungs, a deep breath before picking up all the important documents due for submission. Her kitten heels clattered
Jenna quickly sat up the moment she saw Sheila.The heck! What the hell was going on here? She thought to herself.She should have just killed the bitch, when she had the chance at the damn island, but no, instead, she had allowed that idiot to persuade her.She should have just killed them both.There was no way Sheila Reese was showing up a week to her wedding with Derrick. This was the exact reason why she wanted to get rid of Jordan.The fool had already threatened that he was going to come to the wedding and ruin it. She couldn't allow that to happen, and now this bitch was showing up.How nice and beautiful. She won't spare her this time."Hey Lucas, there's a change in plan," She said the moment he picked up his call.She would be kidnapping this bitch, and throwing her out of this world, once and for all. She might as well kidnap both Sheila and Jordan and just kill them both. T
It has been almost two months since Sheila made her escape and she hasn't been able to get to the person Mitchell told her about. She had lost the ID card while she was running away from the island and has been living off the street for the past months now.She needed money so she could book the flight she would taking to the States but had not been able to save enough money for that and was starting to give up on the whole thing already.The only thing keeping her strong and going right then was her baby. She wanted her child to live the good life and this was just not it.Sheila was busy thinking of what to do with her life when she saw the news come on. She was working in a store as a part-time cleaner and all the money she earned went for feeding but she tried her best to keep some of the money for the trip.Jenna had been waiting for this all her life. She couldn't believe that this was really happening to her, that she, Jenna Morga
Sheila opened the door and it was just as she predicted. It was Mitchell at the door."Come inside," Sheila said to her as she opened the door wider so she could come in."Let's go inside the room, we don't want anyone to overhear us," she added and took her by the hand, pulling her into the bedroom."Miss Sheila, you need to leave this place as soon as possible," Mitchell said to her immediately they were in the room and Sheila nodded.She still was not used to being called by her name, talk more of being called formally. She still couldn't believe she was some form of rich lady before she had this accident and lost her memory."I want to, I really want to, but I have no idea where I can go or how to leave this place. I don't even know where I am" she said to her.How in the world was she supposed to leave this place?"I have a plan, and I hope it works. I brought some money with me, it's all I have, you shoul
"How am I to be sure that you are not some police sent to spy on me?" Ryan asked her."Of course not. Look here, Sheila is the fiancee of the man I love, and she's pregnant for him. I want her to get lost so I can have him all to myself, that's the only way I can be happy, and I'm very sure that from the look of things you like her as well, so we both want the same thing, so help me here so I can help you as well. Take this money, you can use this to move out of this place and get a better place to stay" She typed, translated to him, and searched through her bag for the money.Lucky for her, she had decided to bring this along with her. She made a lot of money from her diamond necklace that sold and had decided to carry the rest of the money with her, maybe because she didn't trust the hotel enough to keep such huge amount of money there, and she didn't want to keep the money at the bank, she has urgent use and need for it.Jenna brought out th
"Mitchell, I have no idea what's going on with you. What's wrong with you?" Glory asked. She had no idea what was wrong with this cousin of hers.She probably doesn't want to go with me to the market to buy the fish, she thought."Are you doing this because you don't want to follow me to the market?" Glory asked."Of course not. I just want to do something really important, I need you to leave here as soon as possible. Please, I'm really serious, this is serious, you need to leave now, I promise I will find you at the market as soon as I can, please just leave here" Mitchell said to her.Glory was a bit baffled. Mitchell did look serious and didn't seem to be joking."Okay Mich, I will leave and you must come afterward, if not I'm coming here to look for you," she said and left her.Michelle turned and she still saw Jenna there. She went a bit close to her so she could hear what she was saying. She seemed to be asking for d
Jenna woke up very early the next morning, took her bath, and made her way to the airport after packing her bag. She would be going to Spain to deal with that Sheila girl, she just hoped that she finds her there, or rather the damn investigator knows what he was saying.She couldn't afford to waste so much time and effort, even her money, that was so hard for her to get.But she believed he knew what he was saying because she had made some research and she found out that the said fisherman island was at the back of the sea where Derrick's ship was located.The bitch was supposed to have died in the bomb blast, but if she somehow survived, Jenna swore she would make sure that this time around she killed her.She would make sure that that crazy bitch Sheila died by her hands.She got to the airport and boarded her flight, then arrived in Spain.She also found out that most of the people on the fisherman island spoke Spanish a
Jenna quickly came out of the desk, she was almost coughing out but she made sure to cover her mouth and controlled herself. She wouldn't want Derrick to come back here and find her coughing like this, he would definitely know something was wrong.She took her phone from where she put it alongside the keys and tiptoed to the door, making sure not to make any form of noise. She was sure Derrick couldn't be asleep by now, he just went, so there was no way for him to have gone to sleep so fast.She finally made her way outside the house and locked the door. She doubted if Derrick knew anything about the spare key that was kept under the flower pot and even if he did, he had probably forgotten all about it.She would just take the key along with her. She would use this to gain access to the house anytime she felt like it.The next day Jenna woke up quite early, got ready, and left the house. She knew Derick didn't care about her whereabouts, so sh
Derick came back and saw that she had left the living room and was no longer in the main house.Finally, he was able to get that witch off his neck. She could go to hell for all he cared.He brought out his laptop, placing it on the little table by the sitting room. He had created this workspace then because of Sheila. They had just found out she was pregnant and he didn't want her to have to stress herself going to the office, so they had improvised.Now she wasn't here to use the table she had loved.He planned on using it tonight though, hopefully, the owner of the table would come back and use it again.He still had a lot of emails to check and respond to. He would try his best to check as many as he could tonight, so he would have fewer emails to check tomorrow and the day after.He planned on doing this continuously till he was done with them, and just like he did at the office, he would start from the bot
Dean had been trying all he could to get to Mr Derrick but he couldn't seem to get access to him.After he called him this morning and it rang he had not been able to get through to him ever since then.The number was not just connecting and something told him something was definitely wrong.He had considered using another phone to call him but Mr Derrick was a very important and influential man. He doubted if he just picked calls of numbers that were not in his phone book, but he really needed to get to him so he could talk to him about this issue.They needed to find Miss Sheila and now that they had a hint, it was even more reason the case needed to be reopened.He would send him a mail, hopefully, he would get this one and read it.He would be expecting a reply by tomorrow if not he was afraid he might have to close the case, probably Mr Derrick was no longer interested in finding his fiancee.He had
