Chapter 85

Zora’s point of view

I couldn’t stand properly on my feet.

I need to leave here before I get caught.

I walked out hurriedly, as tears flowed down my eyes continuously till I got into the car.

I cleaned the tears in my eyes forcefully.

How dare he? How dare Austin make me look like a fool? He made me blame Derrick for all he didn’t commit, I’m so stupid! I made Derrick go through a lot, accused him of what he never committed, and rather trusted the one who was planning on ruining my life.

What kind of life is this?

I cried out so horribly, I was so shattered.

I hate myself for this, I should have just trusted Derrick one more time. Ana, Ana trusted him, why didn't I?

Austin has gone too far, he has done enough, and he would have to leave my life. Never did I believe that Austin would go this far to ruin my life and not just my life but also the life of Derrick.

Austin really shouldn't have done this to me.

After crying for a while I cleaned my face properly and ma

    Chapter 86Derrick’s point of view I was so surprised when Ana told me her mother was actually getting married soon, I was so shocked. “How did you know about this?” I needed to be sure if she really knew what she said. “Mummy told me about it, she told me yesterday.” She answered and immediately that got me so worried about Zora. I need to hurry up and expose that bastard before he takes Zora as his wife. “Dad, is there a way you can stop mummy from getting married to Austin?” She asked and I let out a little smile on my face, so she wouldn’t look worried. “You don't have to worry, everything will be fine, okay?” I said to her and rubbed her cheek and she smiled and nodded. Immediately my phone chimed and I took it out of my pocket and it was Stacy calling. “Are you still with Ana?” She asked and I looked at Ana and said. “Yeah, what's the problem?” And looked away. “Well, her mother is here to see you, she has been waiting for too long, and Collin and I are going off to ch

    Chapter 87Derrick’s point of view “I heard you were getting married to him,” I said and she looked shocked, like how come I knew about it. “Who told you?” She suddenly asked. “I went to Ariana’s school to see her and she told me about it,” I answered her. “You are just coming back from there?” She asked and I nodded. “Well, Austin suddenly wanted a wedding and we were going to plan that before I heard of his mischievous behavior so I don’t think I’ll be getting married to that kind of a man.” She looked angry while she spoke and I laughed a little. I am so glad she has finally seen the truth all by herself. “Don’t tell him about anything for now, just pretend like you never heard anything,” I said and she frowned, looking at me. “Why should I do that?” She finally asked. “Let’s play him with his own games, don’t tell him yet, and aside from that, he might think of harming you, we need to find solid evidence to bring him down,” I explained to her and she nodded slowly like sh

    Chapter 88Derrick’s point of view Lee contacted him back and he came over to my office. “Mr. Joe, if this is a trick or something, I'll make sure you rot in jail,” I spoke to him so plainly, he should not mess around with me. “Mr Derrick, I understand the reason why you wouldn't forgive me easily. This is the little I can do to clear my mind.” He spoke and I decided to give him another chance. “Okay, so can you clearly remember the lady’s face?” I asked and he nodded quickly. “Of course I can, she has been living there for so long.” He said and I had no doubt that it would be Mia.“Is it this lady in this picture?” I showed him a picture of Mia and immediately his eyebrows went up. “Yes, she is the one, how did you know such a deceitful woman?” He asked and I laughed a little. Indeed she is deceitful. “So can you take me to that place to say you saw her?” I asked him. I'll do whatever it takes to get my hands on Mia. “It will be so difficult to get in there, the place is so

    Chapter 89Derrick’s point of view “Why do I get this familiar smell from you?” She sniffed through me and my heart couldn't stop but raced so fast. I didn't want to speak because she might recognize my voice. “Mia! What are you doing?” I looked up and saw Austin, he was beside her and suddenly she let go of my shirt and asked me to leave. I left as quickly as I could. That was so close. I managed to inform Collin how things were around the place and he also placed a camera on me so he could also take a view around the place. Luckily he managed to hack through the cameras. Stacy and I left after gaining so many strategies to use on how to get into the place without the security or cameras finding out. We got home and listed out how the plan would go about and it was a blast, the next few days Mia would be going down. I told Zora about it and she urged me to be careful. The next day I went over to the place, I managed to get in and barged into her office, I saw the shock in h

    Chapter 90Zora’s point of view After telling Derrick about Austin and how sorry I was to him, the way I spoke rudely to him, and never believing in him. I was so glad that Derrick forgave me, he was happy that I had finally realized the truth and the wicked intentions Austin had against Ana and me. I couldn't stop my tears from falling, I felt so broken and betrayed, that was actually the human I was planning on getting married to. Thank goodness I saw this earlier, I can't imagine what would have happened. Derrick comforted me and cleaned my tears, he promised to take care of Ana and me, I was quite glad that I had Derrick back in my life. I don't know how I'd react probably when Derrick didn't come back and I found out Austin did this to me, because I was ready to love him and be so good to him, that's if he accepts Ana and me as his own. I'm just so glad Derrick came back he would be the only one who would love Ana enough. Derrick told me not to cry and said he had better p

    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

    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

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 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
