The fifteen-minute drive to his apartment felt like forever. Derrick's mind kept going over the conversation with his father and Lyla's pregnancy."How do I prove my innocence? I did not touch her," Derrick thought running his hand through his hair."How do I explain this to Lily? She will never believe me. How does this keep happening?" he thought"Six weeks pregnant. Did something happen between us?" he questioned himself. "No, I would have known. DNA is the solution. Yes DNA," he concluded.He drove into the compound of his apartment in fifteen minutes as he had promised Lily. The house was quiet, and all the lights were off except for the light in their bedroom. He knew Lily was awake. He took a deep breath and walked towards the bedroom. He climbed the staircase and just a couple of steps away from the bedroom he stopped. He stood there for a while and rather went into his study. He shut the door behind him and sat behind his desk. He sat there for a while not sure what to do. He
Derrick needed a solution to his problem ASAP. Searching his mind for someone who could help and also keep his secret safe, his confident Rosy came to mind.Luis was the best choice but his friendship with Lily makes it a bad idea to speak with him. Convinced with his choice, Derrick left his apartment without informing Lily and he proceeded to Rosy's apartment. Same neighbourhood but a different street. Before knocking on Rosy's door, he tried to recall everything he could from the night meant for Lily.He woke up with just his trousers on, he did have love bites all over himself including places he never expected. Lyla had no clothes on. He was incredibly angry so he did not pay any attention to her skin. Now, he is unable to tell if she had a love bite made on her or not. He was now doubtful of himself. He can't remember anything, what if something did happen between them that night? These were the thoughts running through Derrick's mind.As early as 5 a.m., Derrick was already ou
Derrick had spent half of his day in Rosy's apartment talking about the situation he found himself in. Rosy advised him not to tell his woman. She further advises him to get close to Lyla and run a DNA when the pregnancy is more than three months old to confirm if he is the father. This suggestion sounded good to Derrick, so he felt calmer. He felt the burden on his shoulders lifted with the provided solution. All he needs now is time. He returned home to find Lily waiting for him in the living room."My love, where have you been?" Lily asked as soon as Derrick entered the house and came face-to-face with her in the living room."I am sorry, I went jogging and met a friend and we spoke for a while," Derrick explained, and Lily sighed."You could have called me. I was worried. I called Marcus; I called your dad..." Lily said and Derrick interrupted her."You call my father?" Derrick said almost raising her voice at her."Yes, I..." Lily replied taking a step back, seeing the anger on hi
The apologetic surprise did not end with Derrick singing and giving her a bouquet of rose flowers, but he gave all the house servants the evening off and cooked dinner. He led Lily to the dining area. The set-up was simple yet amazing. The dining table was gone but in the centre of the room was a round table with just two chairs. The table was covered with a white cloth draping on the sides. In the centre was a small glass flower vase with white orchid flowers. A small cherry-scented candle was lit on the side. A bucket of ice with a wine bottle stuck in it, with two champagne glasses had their stand not far away from the round table. The dishes were arranged in a circle with the orchid and lit a scented candle in the middle. There was bruschetta for an appetizer and for the main course, sautéed chicken, and vegetables. A simple dinner. Two plates were placed in front of each chair. Lily was surprised and was smiling ear to ear. She took a step and realized the floor was covered with
After breakfast, Derrick left the apartment to meet up with Lyla as scheduled. He had chosen a restaurant as the meeting place. He booked a private room in the restaurant for that purpose. He arrived at the place first, parked his car two blocks away and walked to the location with a disguise. He was taken to the private room he had booked. He ordered a cup of coffee as he waited for Lyla who had not arrived yet. He sipped his coffee as he read a session in an entertainment magazine he had picked up from the stand at the restaurant reception on his way in. He checked his time, twenty minutes had already passed and Lyla was still not in. He picked up his phone and called her. "Hello," Derrick said as soon as the call connected."Hi" replied Lyla."Where are you? Are you coming?" Derrick questioned in annoyance. "I am at home. Aren't you coming to pick me up?" Lyla asked in a relaxed tone."Pick you up? What do you mean pick you up? What did I give you an address for?" Derrick question
She smiled and later left the restaurant pretending to be sad, but Derrick had already left. As soon as she steps out of the restaurant, she scouts the environment for Derrick but he is nowhere to be found. She walked to the roadside with a long face. She plans on feigning illness to get Derrick to take her home and spend time with her, but it looks like that isn't going to happen since Derrick is already gone. Annoyed, she stood by the roadside trying to get a taxi back home. Just then a black Porsche stopped in front of her. She frowned at first but realized who it was when the window was rolled down. "Get in," Derrick said."No, I came here by myself, and I would go by myself," Lyla declined trying to get Derrick to coax her to sit in his car.She rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest looking elsewhere like she didn't need the ride, but inwardly she was happy with the attention she was getting from Derrick. Derrick asked her one more time already getting irritated
"I am sure, he is the only man who has touched me," she repeated and her aunty stared at her with a hand folded across her chest."You better be sure about this," Paula said and left Lyla for the kitchen.Back at the club, Derrick was not sure when he had passed out, but when he opened his eyes, he frowned looking at his environment. He was sitting on a chair surrounded by some half-naked ladies. One was giving him a lap dance and the other giving him a shoulder massage.He drove them away from himself faster than lightning speed. He checked his wallet and realized he had spent all the money he had inside it. He got up, buckled his belt and stepped out of the bar. He then realizes how late it was."Oh my God, Lily," he thought as he ran towards his car and quickly started the engine once he was behind the wheel."Hey asshole, you didn't pay the lap dancers," yelled the bar owner.Derrick ignored him and drove off towards his apartment."He just apologized to Lily not long ago and today
Luis carried Rose to his room to finish their make-out session leaving his phone on the sofa in the living room."Let's get married," Luis said to Rose as he held her in his arms stroking her back lovingly."Really?" Rose replied lifting her head from his chest astonished to meet his gaze."Yeah, really, I want to spend my whole life with you and I want to make all your dreams come true," Luis said affectionately."Wait, isn't that the lyrics of a song? Jyve V English version of the Spanish song, Solo a tu lado quiero vivir?" Rose said staring at Luis."Huh! I didn't know you speak Spanish now. Well, that is not important, would you marry me?" Luis asked again and Rose smiled, resting her head back on Luis's chest."Okay," she replied shyly."Just, okay? Do you want to be married to me?" Luis asked again.Rose nodded, keeping her head on his chest. He smiled and flipped her over, covering her with half of his body as he lay on top of her. She shyly tried to find a place to hide from hi
