Zoe’s first birthday was in two days and Rob was planning a themed party for her. He had run through several ideas with Rachel, but she had rejected all of his suggestions so far.“You seem to have forgotten that this party isn’t for you,” said Rob sulkily. “Besides, Zoe is a baby and she’s going to like whatever we do, so why all the fuss?”“Yes, you are right, Robbie. Zoe is a baby, my baby,” said Rachel with a grin.“She is our baby,” Rob corrected.“What about an Alice in Wonderland party?” Taylor suggested. “You know Zoe loves to play tea party. We’d have the backyard set up like a garden with little kiddies' tables and chairs and pink tea sets with tons of snacks and candies. It would be divine.”“I love it!” Rachel squealed in delight.“You’re kidding, right?” Said Rob, with a straight face. “I have literally suggested hundreds of party ideas which you rejected, but Taylor makes one suggestion and you accept it? I don’t believe this.”“Because Taylor is observant and Taylor is

Rachel looked from Rob to Taylor and shook her head in disbelief. “I should have known that you two would support that bum. I thought the guy code didn’t extend to gay men?”“This isn’t about guy code, Rachel. This is about Zoe,” said Rob. “I don’t want whatever is going on with you and Derek to affect her negatively. And I don’t want you to look back on this time in the future and regret your decision to cut Derek off. Besides, I feel that he will keep showing up wherever you go until you let him apologize and say his piece. You know he has the resources to track you down even if you move to the end of the earth, wherever that may be, so why don’t you just hear him out and give him a piece of your mind too while he’s at it?”As much as she hated Rob’s advice, she couldn’t deny that her brother was right. Zoe deserves to have her father in her life if he is willing to be involved, which it seems like Derek is. She on the other hand didn’t have to entertain him in her life because he d

When Zoe saw the tears running down the man’s face, she walked to where he sat and wiped them away with her small hands. “Don’t cry, baby,” she said.“Thank you,” Derek whispered as he stared into those beautiful blue eyes that were the exact replica of his. He almost couldn’t believe that he had reproduced an actual living, breathing human being. The thought that this little child standing in front of him was a piece of him, blew his mind as nothing else can. No amount of money can buy the feeling he was experiencing right now.Zoe seemed to sense that the man needed comforting, so she reached out and embraced him. Derek was too overwhelmed with emotion to respond. He looked up at Rachel and saw that she too was crying silently. She nodded her head in approval and Derek tenderly gathered his daughter in his arms, hugging her closely and doing his best not to weep like a baby.It was such a moving sight that even Rob and Taylor were wiping their eyes and sniffling. There was no doubt

“Because she wasn’t the first woman to show up at my doorstep, claiming to be pregnant for me, and all the others before her had turned out to be liars.”“So, you are in the habit of sleeping with anything in skirts and – ““Uncle Doug…” Rachel protested.“You’re right, sir,” Derek said, looking straight into Doug’s eyes. “I a man who enjoys hanging out with any lady I fancy, but I was always careful until I met Rachel. I was wrong to accuse her of lying even when I knew that there was a possibility that her claim could be true. I was a coward and I apologize for not being there for Rachel as I should have. That is one mistake that I’ll regret for the rest of my life.”Everyone was quiet again except for Zoe and her little friends who were running around and laughing, completely oblivious to the encounter going on with the adults.“Has anyone ever told you that you look like that billionaire called Fraser?” Asked Hunter, Doug’s oldest son. “Are you guys related?”“Yes, we are,” said D

Fiona sighed. “He’s there co-parenting with you perfectly and Zoe is happing having him around. Don’t you think it would be great if both of you could get together for real? He’s single and you’re single, and that to me is the perfect recipe for a smashing relationship. Come on, babe. Give the guy a chance, get to know him, and see if he wants what you want.”“Look, if I’m being honest, I don’t know what I want. I want Derek and I don’t want him. It’s hard to explain,” Rachel confessed.“That could be guilt kicking in,” said Fiona.“Guilt?”“Yeah. You don’t think you should feel attracted to him after how much hell you gave him for throwing you out of his life when you needed him, and now you even feel a tiny bit jealous of Zoe for getting all of his attention.”“Uh, the last time I checked, Fiona, you are a realtor, not a shrink. Stop trying to analyze my feelings.”“But you know I’m right, don’t you?”“You’re not. First of all, I’m not jealous of Zoe for getting all of her father’s

History has shown that Derek was a man that got involved with women on his own terms so that essentially meant that he wasn’t the right candidate for her to develop strong feelings for. She couldn’t afford to get involved with him again except she wanted to be heartbroken a second time. She should seriously think about going to that speed dating thing this weekend. Maybe meeting someone to take her attention away from Derek was what she needed now.When she got home, she got busy in the kitchen by making a bowl of fruit salad for Zoe to snack on before she had lunch. She was glad to see Zoe and Derek coming in through the front door just as she dropped in the last piece of apple into the salad bowl.“Perfect timing!” She said. “Hi, darling. Come hug your mommy.”Zoe ran into her arms squealing with joy. “Mommy!” She screamed happily.“That’s my girl,” said Rachel, embracing her daughter tightly. “How did daycare go today?”“It’s fun,” said Zoe. “I like color red!”“Ooh, that makes two

Ignoring the warning in her gut, Rachel began to invite Derek to her apartment for lunch, dinner, and sometimes breakfast. She did that under the guise that having him around made Zoe happy, whereas, in truth, she was the one who wanted him around her every time.During these cozy moments, they began to tell each other more about their background and growing-up experiences. Derek even opened up to her about his parents’ toxic marriage and how his mother had died tragically in a plane crash with her Russian lover. Rachel also confided in him about how her father had abandoned them when she was twelve years old and ran off with a woman he met at rehab where he was admitted for his drinking problem. She told him how heartbroken she’d been ten years later when they got the news that her dad had been killed in a robbery shoot-out at a liquor store in Dallas. Her mother had forbidden her and Rob from attending the funeral, so they never got a chance to see their dad one last time.As days b

Derek had completely forgotten about that late-night call he’d made to Cassie sometime last week after another day of dealing with sexual frustration from being so close to Rachel but not being able to touch her or tell her how he felt. He’d arrived at his home and rung his supermodel on again and off again girlfriend but she’d turned down his invitation because she was mad at him for not informing her before leaving town.Now here she was out of the blue, just when he had finally succeeded in being honest with Rachel about his feelings and winning her trust. Why was fate messing with him this way? How was he going to explain Cassie’s visit to Rachel without looking like a liar?“Listen, Cassie, you have to leave now,” said Derek in a low voice. He couldn’t hide the urgency in his tone because he needed this stubborn woman to comply with him and get out of his house right now.“Why?” Asked Cassie with a frown. “Weren’t you the one who invited me here?”“Yes, but that was last week.

“This can’t be happening,” Derek muttered incredulously after a frightened Elaine came to announce to him that Rachel had been abducted at knife-point by Sam. “Oh, God! What have I done?” Yasmin wailed. “Calm down, Mom. I’ll call the security guys at the gate right away,” said Derek briskly. “He can’t have gone very far with her, so we can still find them.” “We should call the police too,” Elaine suggested. “What’s their emergency number here?” “Where the heck is that ambulance?” Yasmin demanded irritably. “Javier has slipped into unconsciousness. He needs to be taken to the hospital immediately.” As they scrambled around the house to make phone calls from different phones, Zoe who was now awake, walked across the room and placed her favorite stuffed toy, Binky, on Javier’s chest. “Don’t be scared, Binky is going to help you,” she whispered to the unconscious chef. Just then, they heard the wails of an ambulance siren as it sped through the driveway. “Finally!” Said Yasmin, thr

A loud crash woke Rachel up and her eyes flew open with alarm. She could tell instantly that something was wrong.“What was that?” Derek asked groggily.“You heard it too? It sounded like something breaking,” she said and began to get out of bed.“No, you stay here and I’ll go and check it out,” said Derek, getting out of bed.“You go to the kitchen and I’ll go and check on Zoe and Elaine.”They quickly put on their dressing robes and ran out of the room to investigate the strange noise and make sure that the other occupants of the house were ok.Rachel was relieved when she was that both Elaine and Zoe were still asleep in their room and they hadn’t been disturbed by the crash that woke her up. She quietly closed their bedroom door and moved to Yasmin’s door, but as she raised her hand to knock on it, Derek showed up with a barely conscious Javier leaning on him. The chef’s head was bloody and he looked dazed.“Oh, my God! What happened to him?” Rachel asked, hurrying over to the hal

Once they were done with lunch, there was unanimous agreement that everyone should take a stroll to the beach to walk off that hefty meal.“I don’t think I’m going to eat anything else today because that was a loaded lunch,” said Rachel, suppressing a belch.“Yeah, maybe,” said Derek with a smile.They were walking hand-in-hand past the tall palm trees that lined the property and went all the way to the beach. There were some large rocks on the other end of the beach and it looked like a nice hideout where they could get a little bit of intimacy away from the rest of the group.“How about we go over there and check out what’s behind that rock?” She asked, pointing toward the distance. “Just you and me.”“Sure, why not?”“We’re going back inside,” Elaine announced. “Zoe is long overdue for her nap and she’s getting restless.”“Aww, poor baby,” said Rachel, bending down to stroke Zoe’s blonde curls.“No nap,” she said drowsily while yawning and rubbing her eyes. However, she didn’t resi

“There you are!” She exclaimed when she found him standing by the pool, staring off into the distance. “Are you ok?”“Yes,” he said and smiled at her. “I have never felt this much peace in my life.”“Aww, I’m glad you feel that way,” she said, embracing him.“Come on, let’s go inside and see what Elaine and Zoe are up to. The island manager will be sending in our private chef later today. In the meantime, I’m sure we can make do with whatever is in the kitchen for now.”“I don’t think anyone is hungry yet. This place is too good for you to think about eating.”“Zoe may not agree with you,” he said with a grin. “My daughter is a certified foodie.”“She got it from her momma,” said Rachel.“I’m not going to argue with that,” said Derek and he received an elbow jab in the ribs from his wife.They found Zoe and her nanny in the cinema room watching Moana. Derek and Rachel were immediately captivated by the exciting animation movie, and they too sat down to watch it. When it was over, they

One month later, Rachel walked down the aisle created in front of Alfred’s gloriously beautiful flower garden, holding a bouquet of white irises that looked like a cluster of clouds over green stems. Her ivory Vera Wang wedding dress was an off-shoulder creation that featured lots of tulles, crystals, and a full skirt that made her look like a Disney princess. Rob struggled not to cry as he walked his little sister down the aisle in his spotless three-piece suit.“I almost can’t believe this is happening,” Rachel whispered excitedly to him.“It’s happening, darling,” he replied in a whisper too. “Your fairy tale happy ending is finally happening and I cannot even begin to tell you just how happy I am for you.”“You’ve told me a gazillion times already and that’s enough,” she said with a chuckle.When they reached where Derek was waiting in front of the minister, Rob hugged his sister tightly and whispered, “I love you.”“I love you more,” Rachel whispered back with misty eyes.After R

Just as Derek had predicted, Alfred was beyond ecstatic when they informed him of Rachel’s wish to be married at Rickman Manor.“What an honor!” He exclaimed happily. “What joy!”“Stop being so dramatic, Uncle Alfred. It’s just a wedding,” said Derek.“Uh-huh, Derek. It’s not a wedding, it’s the wedding,” said Taylor and he got a high five from Rob who yelled, “Dang right, it is!”Everyone laughed. They were sitting at a long dining table that had been set up by the hotel in the banquet hall where they’d had Derek’s birthday party last night. It was the only place that could contain the large family consisting of Rachel’s folks, Jonah and his family, and Uncle Alfred. Diane and the other guests had checked out of the hotel earlier after having breakfast in their rooms.This late breakfast was for family only and that included Elaine who was sitting beside Zoe and making sure the toddler was cared for while the adults joked and chatted playfully.“I am so happy for you two,” said Rosem

Derek went down on one knee in front of Rachel and opened the ring box. Inside it was a dazzling 24 karat gold ring with a large princess-cut white diamond in the middle and tiny crystals encircling the band. It was gloriously beautiful!“Rachel Lane, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?” Derek asked her with stars in his eyes. “Will you marry me?”“Yes!” She replied instantly without hesitation, sinking to her knees and hugging him fiercely. “Yes, yes, and yes!”The room erupted in a joyous cheer, applauding the touching scene.“That’s not how it’s done,” Derek laughed through his happy tears. “You’re supposed to stick out your hand and let me put the ring on your finger.”“Who cares about how it’s done? This is how we do it,” she replied happily. “Now put that ginormous ring where it belongs.”She stretched out her left hand and he slipped the ring on her finger, sending their guests into another round of celebration.“I wish Zoe was here to witness this,” he said.“Bedtime

Yasmin chuckled. “Rachel is a genius,” she said. “She’s the real deal, Derek. She’s a keeper.”“I still can’t believe that you’re here,” he said in wonder. “I feel as if I am dreaming.”“So do I,” she admitted. “Derek, I am so sorry for everything. I am sorry I didn’t give you a chance to get to know me but instead allowed your father to drive a wedge between us. I am not trying to paint your father as the bad guy because if I’m being honest, I also share in the blame. I am so sorry for abandoning you and letting you mourn my fake death while I lived my best life somewhere else.”“I didn’t have time to mourn you,” he confessed. “I was so angry at you and I drowned myself in work.”“I am so sorry,” she said again, crying openly. “I am so, so sorry, Derek. Can you ever forgive me?”Seeing his mother cry and express so much remorse broke something inside of him. It was as if she had smashed the block of ice that had held his heart in a death grip for years, into tiny pieces. Tears rolled

“No, what’s the point? I know why she has been doing it and I’m not sure she’ll have anything new to share with Yasmin anymore.”“Today’s episode is definitely something worth sharing.”Derek chuckled. “Maybe.”“Have you thought about reaching out to Yasmin?”“What for?”“I don’t know, just for the sake of it. Alfred already confirmed everything she told us, so that means she wasn’t lying.”He sighed.“Can you ever find it in your heart to forgive her?” Rachel asked softly.Derek lifted an eyebrow. “For what?”“For abandoning you,” she replied.He sighed again and looked away. When the elevator reached the first floor and swung open, he took her hand in his and led her out of it. Cheryl was beaming like the sun when she saw them together and she waved at Rachel as they left.“I think Cheryl is my number one fan here,” she remarked as Frank and Mark escorted them to the parking lot.“Nope. She’s number two,” said Derek.“Who’s number one?” She asked.“Me,” he said with a grin and follo
