Chapter 57

Zora’s point of view

My heart stopped beating for a second. What is he talking about? Is he in love with me?

“Ohh, okay,” I replied.

“This game is becoming boring.” Stacy said and spun the bottle.

The bottle stopped at Derrick and Stacy and she laughed out.

“So what would you choose? Truth or Dare?” She asked him, with so many smiles on her face and I wasn’t comfortable with it.

This lady hasn’t changed a bit. I am very sure Collin isn’t just a friend to her but maybe a sex mate. I bet she has changed.

“Dare,” Derrick answered Stacy, looking at her.

“Alright… I dare you to kiss any one of us sitting here.” She said and smirked.

I'm probably sure Derrick wouldn't accept that…

“Alright,” Derrick answered and stood up.

He walked, coming towards Stacy’s direction.

Is he for real? I know Stacy looks so beautiful and so hot with her curvy shape in whatever she wears, but I never Derrick would fall for that.

I was surprised when he passed her and stopped in front of me

    Chapter 58Derrick's point of view We were done with that childish game that I couldn't tell Stacy to stop, we played other games and later ate the dishes that were made by Zora and me. Zora and I were talking and Stacy interrupted suddenly, asking for my presence. I wondered what she wanted to say to me, I looked at Zora and she said I should go, maybe it’s something important. But the look on Stacy’s face, I am one hundred percent sure it isn’t something so important and we just met today after all.So I stood up and we both walked to a corner. “So Derrick Robert, you seriously want to pretend forever that you don’t know me?” Stacy asked me and left a smirk on her lips. And immediately I furrowed and looked up at her properly. How did she know my full name and what does she mean by pretends? “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I answered and she frowned. “We are the only ones here, Zora won’t hear you.” She uttered with a light voice. “Stacy, I don’t know you from an

    Chapter 59Zora’s point of view Immediately he said that my heart melted, I felt more lively, although I was a bit shocked, I wasn’t expecting him to say that. It felt like he was referring to me when he said he was in love with someone. Do I still love this guy? Why do I feel this way? We got home and we sat on the couch in the living room. We talked for a while and then I decided to ask him. “So how did you get so close to Stacy?” He looked up at my face as I asked. “Stacy and I were so close at high school, I actually can’t remember what made us so close. To the point that Stacy sleeps over sometimes at my place. Our both parents were so close…. I assume that’s what made very much close and Stacy was kind of bullied in school so I was always there to help her out.” Derrick explained with a very bright smile on his lips. So that explains it all, he might as well like Stacy so much. And I don’t know why I am getting a little annoyed about it. “That’s good…. Although Stacy a

    Chapter 60Zora’s point of view “Ah, hey Stacy, you're here so early.” I laughed a little as I walked closer to them. And to think of it, Stacy doesn't know the directions to this place.. So how come?“Yeah, she called me early this morning so I directed her on how to come over here.” Derrick explained immediately and I raised my brows slightly and nodded. Stacy still held Derrick’s hand, he looked at my face and took his hand gently away from her's. “So Derrick told me about the issue that brought you both here. You don't have to worry Zora, Mia would be found soon.” Stacy uttered. Wow! So he tells her everything so quickly. “Thank you, I hope we do find her quickly.” I smiled and sat on a couch a little far from them. I noticed how Derrick was so lively and happy speaking to her, he laughs at every little joke she portrays. And the way she is all over him, irritates me the most, Stacy is just so touchy. “I-i’ll be up in my room, Stacy take care.” I smiled and stood up. “Wh

    Chapter 61Zora’s point of view “Derrick, are you in love with Stacy?” I asked him and he looked up to my face and smiled. “I've told you before that I love someone else, Stacy is more like a sister to me…. Yes, I love her and will always take care of her but not in the aspect of getting married to her.” He explained and immediately I drew a smile on my lips and nodded. Why do I feel happy and comfortable after hearing this? And shook that spirit off and continued my food. “Why did you ask?” He suddenly asked and looked at him. “Oh, I-I just wanted to know because you both are so close.” I found myself stuttering. He nodded. “Alright, and when the time comes you'll know who I am in love with.” He looked straight at me with a little smile curved on his lips. “Why can’t I know now,” I asked him. “I don’t want to lose the friendship I have with that person, just by confessing my feelings so I’ll hold on for now till when the time is right.” He explained and I bobbed my head. “T

I got up from bed after the call ended and walked into the bathroom, I washed up and left thereafter. I went downstairs and noticed Zora hadn't woken up yet.I sat on the couch for a while and I heard footsteps of someone coming downstairs so I turned and saw Zora who still looked sleepy. And I laughed a little as I noticed how she struggled to come down. “Zora, are you okay?” I moved to where she stood and held her hand. “Yes I am fine, I just need a glass of water, the water in my room has finished.” She explained and I nodded. “Alright go sit on the couch i’ll get you a glass of water,” I said and she bobbed her head and walked over to the couch, shortly after I brought water for her and she drank it and rested her hand properly on the couch. I noticed she slept off. I watched her while

    Chapter 63Derrick's point of view “She is your what?!” Stacy shouted and I asked her to calm down. “Do you realize you are shouting?” My eyes widened, what if Zora hears her or something? “How did you guys get divorced, when did you even get married.” She looked surprised and also quite annoyed. “That was over 8 years ago….you need to calm down.” She didn't stop raising her voice. She was finally calm. “So you married Zora got divorced and got married to Mia and now you are in love with Zora again?” Her eyes widened in disbelief as she spoke. “I wasn't in love with her at first till we got divorced and now presently as we got back together due to work, I have grown deeply in love with her and I treated her badly when we were still together, I wonder if she would give me another chance,” I explained to Stacy and she shook her head. “How badly did you treat her that you can't confess your feelings to her,” Stacy asked and furrowed her brows.“Stacy, I treated her so badly that

I don't believe you.” She laughed and I couldn't stop myself from laughing also. “You don't believe me?” I asked her as we got into the car. “No, I don’t.” She laughed. “But why were you taking off my clothes?” She asked again. “I just wanted to make you warm… like skin-to-skin or something like that?” I tried to explain and she hit my arm. “It's better you keep it to yourself.” She spoke and I laughed. We drove home. I was done washing up so I sat in the living room and Lee and I were on the phone. We talked about a few things and I also asked him how he has been coping with the office. “Everything here is fine though, I'll send the sales record to you later.” He informed me. “Alright then, I'll arrive soon in no time once the business deal here is settled.” I said, I have really missed my work, my office, even my company as a whole, I honestly can’t wait to go back. “Derrick, let's leave that aside for now… what about Zora, you gu

    Chapter 65Derrick’s point of view The next morning we were on the bed in one of the rooms downstairs. She was still sleeping peacefully, I was glad that what I had always wished for was finally coming into reality. I'll finally get Zora back, I want her back. I stared at her as she slept, she looked so peaceful, I rubbed her face gently and kissed her forehead softly. I can't wait to see you awake, there are so many things I want to tell you. I smiled and stood up gently so I wouldn't wake her, I moved to the bathroom and washed up. I was done so I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast since we will be going to Mr Noah’s office today. I prepared scrambled eggs and I toasted some bread too. I was almost done, so I moved to the dining room to set it up before waking up my love. While doing that Zora walked in and I smiled and walked up to her. “Good morning,” I said and was about to kiss her neck but she suddenly stepped back. There was no single smile on her face. “Wha

    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
