Zora’s POV Immediately my phone rang. “Honey, I need to take this call, okay? We will talk about everything tomorrow. Sleep now.” I rubbed her hair and she nodded and I left the room as I answered the phone. It was a business call though and before I got to my room the call ended. I laid on my bed as so many thoughts fluid my mind. What should I tell her? Why would she bring up this same question again? Did something happen in her school? What must have been the reason? I don’t blame her for asking, she has all right to ask and know but what can I say?I sat and rested my back on the headboard of the bed. The sleep that filled my eyes suddenly vanished. If only Derrick acted a little bit nicer just a little maybe things wouldn’t have turned out this way. I’m pretty sure by now he is living his best life with his so-called Mia. I never knew he finally got married to her because I didn’t pay attention to whatever that concerns him. I cleaned my eyes because definitely whenever the

Zora’s POV That should be Mia and they probably look happy together. “Are you okay, Zora?” Austin held my arm. “Come on, let's leave.” I guess he saw him too. We both walked out of there and headed into the car. “Please, I just want to go home now.” I uttered, trying to hold my tears. I shouldn’t cry, I need to stop this. “Alright.” He said and started the engine and drove out. “I wasn’t expecting to see him, I made sure I traveled very far away from that city, so I won’t cross paths with him anymore. Then why?!!” My tears began to flow. They uncontrollably flow. “Zora, you need to stop crying and move on from this guy, he doesn’t deserve you, you are far better than his league.” Austin tried to comfort me but it wasn’t working. I cleaned my eyes forcefully and sniffed my nose. “I know what to do, I’ll take Ana far away to another country. We would go far away from here, from him. I never want to see him. I don’t want to ever cross paths with him.” “You would do no such thing

Zora’s POV “But Mrs Zora, why so much hate? This company is a standard company just like Exela. Why the rejection?” She questioned. Derrick and I's wedding wasn’t a big one compared to his and Mia’s. Our wedding was just heard by few. Come to think of it. I know Derrick is very popular and well known but how come Austin knew about our wedding, I haven’t asked him that question yet. “Sophia just do as I say, go back and tell them we aren’t accepting their offer and that’s it.” I didn’t want to overreact anymore, so she won’t dig into any suspicion. “Alright Mrs Zora.” With that she left and I let out a deep breath. Getting to an hour later I heard a knock on my door and Sophia walked in with a pale face. “What’s the matter?” I asked as my eyebrows were squeezed. “Mrs Zora, I made a mistake with the company’s name. I am truly sorry.” Her head was buried to the ground as she spoke. “Ms. Sophia, look up and tell me what you are talking about.” I ordered her and she faced up and w

Zora’s POVIt was a Sunday evening and it was supposed to be the date of my anniversary but this day felt like a normal ordinary day. Suddenly my phone buzzed and it was Austin calling. “Hey beautiful, how are you doing?” He asked, immediately I picked up the call. “I am all good.” Austin calls from time to time and also sees us on a daily basis. Ariana is already getting more used to him already. “You’re at home right?” I scrunched my brows as he asked. What is he up to now?“Yes, do you want to come over?” I was curious to know. “Uhm, something like that. Today is Sunday and you need to take any form of workload off so I am coming over to take you out for a while at least.” He said and a smile curved up my lips. I was also thinking about that, to free my mind of so many things for the meantime. “Alright, that would be nice.” I replied. “I am on my way.” He said and hung up. I went to my bedroom to wash up and prepare. I was done with taking my shower. I brought out a black,

Zora’s POV I gulped hard and looked at him, I wasn’t expecting him to say that. “I know you weren’t expecting it but I can’t hide these feelings anymore.” He added and I looked away immediately and stood up. “Uhm…yes, I wasn’t expecting you to say that.” I said and he stood up. “I know but I can’t hide them anymore, this feeling has been there since we were little.” He confessed and I was getting so uncomfortable already. “Please can I just go home already?” I asked, walking away. “So you are just going to ignore everything I said right now?” And immediately I stopped walking and turned to look at him. “I honestly don’t know what to say? I have been through a lot already and I am not ready for anything of that sort right now. Please.” He didn’t utter a word after I said that, rather he just looked at me. “Alright let’s go.” He finally said and we walked away heading to the car. “Zora, I don’t want this to cause awkwardness in our friendship, I’m sorry if what I said made you

Zora’s POV The day I saw Mia I was so shocked and I kept on wondering why she was so drunk that day. Or is Derrick beginning to treat her the way he treated me? I’d be a little surprised if he does that because Mia is actually his first love. “Are you alright?” Austin snapped me out of my thoughts. He came over to my office to drop the records of their data so far and decided to stay for a while. “Yes I am fine but there is something bothering me a little bit.” I said and he asked me what was that. “It’s about Mia, Derrick’s wife.” And immediately he furrowed his eyebrows and asked what about her. “I bumped into her the other night so drunk and messed up, till some guard came to pick her up.” I discussed it with him and he raised one of his brows. “Don’t get yourself worked up over it. Maybe she decided to go out for a drink and ended up getting drunk.” Austin pointed out to me and I just nodded, pushing those thoughts aside. We talked about a few more things before he left.

Chapter 15Zora’s point of view It was a Saturday evening and Austin came around. “So Zora, the date has been finalized and it will be on the 21 of December.” immediately he said that I flinched that is Derrick’s birthday date. Anyways it’s non of my concern anymore. “Zora, are you okay?” He tapped on my shoulder bringing back to the reality. “Yes I am fine, the date is good, I’ll surely attend.” I replied back and smiled, it’s just four days from now. “That’s more like it.” He smiled. Ever since that day Ana complained about what her schoolmates have been telling her made me worried and I don’t want this to affect her. Should I just get married to Austin?“About Silvia who threatened you, I have finally caught her and warned her not to do anything fishy, she probably won’t hurt you, okay?” Austin assured me and my eyes popped out.“How did you find her?” I asked him, I was so surprised. “I have my ways.” He said and laughed. “Anyways thank you.” I smiled and he nodded once an

Zora’s point of view I walked in and saw a lot of people in and of course I got stares. Some people walked up to me and greeted me. The hall is so big and the decorations in the hall are superb, I admire everything about the place. It looked unique. I was served wine and suddenly Austin walked up to me.“Hey beautiful.” Smiles around his face, he held my waist and kissed my hand, his eyes ran through my body and back to my face. “Hey.” I smiled. Austin looked so handsome and he also changed his haircut, he looked so different. The color of his suit matched with my dress making us look more like a couple. “You look so stunning and beautiful.” He flattered me, my face was still curved up with smiles and I also complimented his look. A guard walked up to him and whispered something to his ear. “I’d be back, okay? Let me go take care of something.” He said and I nodded then he left. I sipped my wine and looked around, so many companies turned up for Austin’s party and I exchanged g

Chapter 99Derrick’s point of view I woke up in a hospital, and I found a nurse close to me. “Mr Derrick, you are finally awake, um, sit back I'll go call the doctor, okay?” She said and hurriedly ran out of the room. I felt a sting pain in my back, for how long have I been in bed? With the reaction on her face, it probably might have been a long time. All I remember was how I got shot. After a few minutes, the doctor walked in, with so much surprise on his face. “Finally, Mr Derrick, you're awake.” He smiled and did a little check-up on me. “Doctor for how long have I been unconscious?” I asked him. “For over a week and a few days.” He replied, I was so shocked, suddenly I remembered how I got shot. “Ana!” I held the Doctor’s hand immediately as I remembered I was with her. “They haven't come yet, she will probably come later.” He said and I slowly let go of his hand. That means she is safe. How did I get here, who helped us out of there?“Doctor, is there anyone around a

Chapter 98Zora’s point of view “What hospital?” My voice sounded so faint. “Let’s go there now,” Stacy said and we got into the car and she drove away. Finally, we got to the hospital and rushed in and I was taken to the room Ana was in. “Mummy.” She stood up from her bed and rushed to me and I squatted and hugged her so tightly, kissing her forehead passionately. “My Ana, my baby.” Tears left my eyes as she was brought back to me safely. “How are you, my child? Were you hurt anywhere?” I asked her, looking all over her body. “I’m fine, Mum, Daddy made sure of that, but I’m scared, is Daddy still alive, he was shot by those evil men.” She cried out and I cleaned the tears from her eyes. “Daddy, will be alright, nothing will happen to him, okay?” I tried to encourage her but I also was scared of losing him. I met with Lee and Collin. “Zora, how have you been? I hope Austin didn't hurt you?” Lee asked and shook my head.“He didn't,” I said, but it felt like it was so hard for

Chapter 97Zora’s point of view “Drive safely, sweetie.” He said after letting me go outside his house, I managed to walk into my car, like that way the first day I learned how to walk. When I finally got in, I cried so badly, there was no hope, no one to run to, how could I get out of the mess, I'd have to do what he said or else my family would be ruined. I cried till I couldn't cry more and I finally drove out heading to my house. I got home and found Stacy and Sophia in the living room, immediately Stacy saw me she rushed to me and hugged me tightly. “I know it's hard for you right now but you need to be strong.” She spoke as she finally let go of me and cleaned my eyes. “Mrs Zora.” Sophia looked so worried and she hugged me too and finally let go. They took me to the nearest couch and I sat.“I'm glad you are back home safely, I hope he didn't do anything to you?” Sophia asked me. “Austin has really brought distress to my life, now he insists on getting married to him tomo

Chapter 96Zora’s point of view “What do you mean Ana has been kidnapped?” I couldn't feel my legs anymore after hearing that, immediately I fell to the ground as she explained to me what happened. “Austin! Austin has done enough!” I shouted and most of my staff, including the people in the conference hall all came out. “Mrs Zora, what's wrong? What happened?” Sophia rushed to me while I kept on crying. “My daughter, Austin, has taken my daughter away from me.” I shouldn't sit back and cry, I suddenly cleaned my eyes, and Sophia exclaimed as she heard me say that. “Sophia, we aren't having the meeting anymore.” I stood up from the ground and left for my office to take a few things before leaving. Austin can’t just plug off my eyes and go scot-free. Getting close to my office I noticed Sophia was behind me saying a few things which I wasn't paying attention to. “Mrs. Zora, we need to Inform, Derrick about this.” Sophia suddenly suggested I look up to her. “It's not everything

Chapter 95Derrick’s point of view Immediately I woke up from that terrible dream. I hope Ana is safe, quickly I took my phone and called Zora and hearing from the way she spoke there was nothing wrong but still I asked her about Ana and I found out that she was on her way to pick her up. I begged her to drive safely and revealed to her the dream I just had and immediately she freaked out. “Zora, listen, you need to drive safely, Ana will be right there waiting for you to come to pick her up,” I said to her and she managed to calm herself down. “Alright, I’ll talk to you later,” I said and we hung up, that was the mistake I made, I shouldn’t have told her about the dream, I just hoped she drove safely. I told Stacy and Collin about the dream I had about Ana. “Don't you think Austin is planning on doing it?” Stacy said and Collin agreed with her. “I don't think so, what would be his gain if does that? After all, Zora wants to play along by accepting to marry him so he wouldn'

Chapter 94Zora’s point of view “What do you mean by that?” I asked him as he spoke so rudely and I noticed how he paused for a while. “Zora, do not make me do something silly, you can’t ruin my plans now, you will have to obey me, we are having this wedding on the day we have both planned it.” His voice was so cold and fierce. “Are you forcing me to do what I don't want, that's never happening, Austin…” He abruptly hung up the call when I was still talking. What kind of man is this? He was never like this, what made him change? He would not do anything stupid he can not try it. I dropped down my phone and continued with my work. During lunchtime I left the office and went over to where Mia was kept, although I told Derrick I'd be going there, he wanted to come with me but I declined, I wanted to face her alone. Getting there I was told she had a visitor already, I was quite surprised, so I waited. After a while, I saw Austin heading out. “Austin?” So he was the visitor the

Chapter 93Zora’s point of view “Zora, listen, you need to drive safely, Ana will be right there waiting for you to come pick her up.” He encouraged me and I took it in and calmed myself down. “Are you close to her school already?” He asked me. “Yes I am, I'll call you later, okay?” I said, I just wanted to think straight. “Yes, when you pick her up and get home let me know, okay?” He spoke, he also sounded worried but he didn't want it to be so obvious. “Alright, I will,” I said and he disconnected. I gulped down and tried my best to concentrate on driving, finally I got to her school. “Where is Ana?” I met her teacher and she directed me to where they were kept. From afar I saw Ana talking and laughing with her friends and my mind was finally calm, I could finally breathe properly through my nostrils. “Ana?” I called her and she left them and ran up to me. “Mummy, you came to take me home, it's been a while since you did that, I'm so happy seeing you here.” She laughed and I

Chapter 92Zora’s point of view Derrick left after having dinner with Ana and me. I noticed how Ana looked so happy around him, more than Austin and I'm so glad about it. “Mummy I'd be the happiest if Daddy comes to stay with us, we will finally be complete,” Ana said as Derrick drove out, her attention was still built on Derrick’s car as she spoke with so much plaster of smile on her face. “He can't stay with us, Ana.” I laughed and shook my head as we walked in. “Why can’t he?” Ana asked with a frown face. “You'll know soon, okay.” I kissed her cheek as we sat on the couch. Surprisingly she didn't pester me much about the question, after a while she slept off and I took her to her room and laid her properly on the bed. The next day I got a call from Austin. “Hey babe, good morning.” He sounded calm and immediately I wondered what he wanted to say. Whenever he sounds that way, it’s either he has a favor to ask or something else that would be of benefit to him. “Hey, is every

Chapter 91Zora’s point of view “Zora, what are you saying? I love you both so much and I want to be a good husband to you and a good father to Ana.” He spoke like he meant whatever he said, which I know is totally a lie. “It's fine, I feel better hearing that.” I lied and formed a smile and he hugged me. “I want the best for us Zora, please I want you to stay away from Derrick, I don't want him to harm you or Ana, try to avoid him in any way you can, okay?” He spoke slowly with a feathery voice and he rubbed my hair slowly as he spoke. I pulled out of the hug and just nodded. “You also need to be careful, your life might also be in danger,” I said to him and he furrowed. “Mine isn't so important, you and Ana’s life is, so try to watch out, if anything happens don't forget to call me.” He spoke and I nodded once. “And about Ana, I asked Mary about her and she told me Ana is sleeping, it seems like she has been detouring away from me these past few days.” He uttered, looking a l
