Chapter 52

Derrick’s point of view

When I discovered Mia was missing, I was so agitated, if only I had known this would happen, I would have called the cops immediately.

I Instructed the cops to make sure every road leading out of this city is tied up with security. I'll make sure I catch Mia before I leave this place, only if she is still in this country.

Zora and I left on our way home we decided to stop at the mall and coincidentally we came across Mr Noah and surprisingly Zora knows him as well.

I was surprised to see him at the mall by himself, but the place we were at there weren't many people there.

We greeted him and we talked for a while.

“Mr Derrick you have a very hardworking wife. Zora will give you peace.” Mr Noah said and laughed.

I honestly really wished she was my wife again, she is indeed hard working and will surely give me peace.

I couldn't disagree with him, I wouldn't because I'll try to win her back.

He asked for our presence at the office and that he woul

    Chapter 53Zora’s point of viewWhile discussing my life with Derrick I didn’t realize I was crying, this was the past I never want to remember anymore, it was a long gone buried and forgotten past that I never want to remember. Derrick pulled closer to me and cleaned my eyes, he noticed how hard I tried to hold back the tears. I looked up to his face, he looked so concerned and worried. “I will make sure you never go through such agony again, you deserve to be loved and cherished and I would really be glad if I am given the opportunity to have you back, I'd make sure I never let you sleep away from my hands again, never ever.” He whispered as he was so close to me. The words he said were the words I wanted to hear a long time ago, encouraging words. Words of affection.I smiled as he said that, I felt warm and satisfied. He leaned closer to me and kissed my lips, I was so shocked because I wasn't expecting it and I found myself not resisting. Zora what are you doing??I pulled o

    Chapter 54Derrick’s point of view The next morning Zora and I were done with breakfast and heading to Mr Noah’s office. I was surprised and happy she didn't act so awkward about what happened last night. We both talked and laughed and felt so comfortable around each other. We finally got to Mr Noah’s office and headed in by the directions of his secretary. He wanted a business plan with us, which I saw coming but I wasn't sure if Zora would like that as we didn't come here for business. Any decision she makes I am going with it. We left his office and decided on giving him a feedback after having a thought about it. “Should we go back home? Or we can just go hang out somewhere for sometime.” I asked Zora, I wanted us to spend more fun time together. “Yes I think that would be good.” Luckily she agreed. “So where do you think we can go have fun?” I asked her and shrugged a little. “I think we should head back home.” She said and I looked at her with slightly furrowed brows.

    Chapter 55Derick’s point of view My eyes met a very beautiful yet simple woman, her beautiful flared dress with roses designs, to round it all up she looked so captivating. “You look so gorgeous in that gown.” I couldn't stop myself from complimenting her and she smiled and walked close to me but not so close. “Thank you, Derrick and you look good too.” She chuckled a little. “Thank you.” I laughed. “I'll go get the baskets.” She wanted to turn and leave for the kitchen. “It's already in the car, I took it a while ago.” I said and she looked at me. “Oh alright then let's go now.” Her voice was filled with excitement and so many smiles on her face. And that made me happy. We both walked to the car and drove out. We stopped at the grocery store to get some other fruits that weren't at home. And suddenly Zora bumped into her old friend.“Stacy! Oh my goodness, I never believed I'd see you again.” Zora said as they both hugged. I shook hands with the man who followed Zora’s fr

    Chapter 56Zora’s point of view Heading back home after the meeting with Mr Noah, Derrick and I decided to go out for a little picnic. So we drive home to arrange for it. I changed up my clothes and moved to the kitchen, to prepare the dishes we will be carrying with us. “Okay! So what are we preparing.” Derrick said as he walked into the kitchen and I turned and I looked at him.I tried to convince him not to stress himself and I'll prepare the dish myself but he insisted on helping me out. “Alright then, you'll chop the vegetables and I'll do the rest.” I smiled and he nodded in agreement. He chopped the vegetables nicely but so slow, anyways I just had to follow up.In my greatest surprise I will ever believe Derrick and I would turn out this close again, I never knew he was such a very kind-hearted person and I love that side of him. I was done with the sandwich so I gave him a little to taste. “Mmm, Zora, this is so good.” He said immediately he took a bite of it. “You li

    Chapter 57Zora’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

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 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
