2024-10-29 19:42:56“You heard me.” He spat and gave me a hard glare, looking at me me with so much disgust.
Immediately I fell to the ground with tears dripping down my cheeks, it felt like the world was about to grumble over me. How can he utter such a word, it crumbled my heart so severely. What did I ever do to deserve this dislike and abhor from this man, the man I love with all my heart.
I know for this past few years Derrick has treated me like I’m worthless and doesn’t show much care about me.
But a divorce??? I honestly didn’t see that coming.
“Why are you doing this to me?” My voice was more like a whisper, I couldn’t even understand the atmosphere anymore, it felt like I was floating.
Is he playing tricks with me or is he saying this so he can just leave already. He doesn’t mean this, right?
I looked up to him and noticed his lips moving but couldn’t hear any sound, his face was getting blurry till everywhere turned blank.
I woke up trying to figure out where I was and when I was conscious, I realized I was in a hospital. I still felt so weak and numb.
I felt pains in my chest still trying to figure out what Derrick said and instantly my eyes were soaked, I cleaned my eyes forcefully, I hated the fact that I was been rejected ever single fucking time. It hurts so bad.
The different pain you get when you love someone who doesn’t even care about your existence. He shouldn’t have married me in the first place.
I bang my hand on my head and screamed out loud in agony, I cried out so loud, why must I be treated this way, why can’t be loved, why don’t I deserve it.
I tousled my hair so hard to the point I looked like I was insane.
Some nurses rushed in and pulled me together and I managed to calm down.
“You shouldn’t do that to yourself, you should be more careful now.” One of the nurses said.
I didn’t say a word and I couldn’t stop the tears that poured down my eyes.
“You are pregnant and you really need to stop over stressing yourself.” She added, my heart dropped for a bit as I gasped and turned to look at her with wide red, swollen eyes.
“What did you say?” I finally uttered with a feathery cracked voice.
She nodded with a thin smile. “ You are 6 weeks gone already.” She uttered.
I wasn’t expecting this to happen now, not now, with this situation on ground what should I tell him? Immediately a thin smile crossed my lips, I think this pregnancy is a blessing. Maybe this pregnancy will change him completely, maybe he will start acknowledging me and see me from a different view.
I cleaned my eyes out and chuckled a little.
“Thank you, nurse.” I thanked her with a bright smile. “So is my husband outside?” I asked her and immediately she furrowed her brows.
“I don’t think you were brought here by your husband, he claimed to be your driver.” The nurse answered, immediately my arms got weaker, I breathed down slowly and nodded my head in response to the nurse.
I shouldn’t be surprised, I was also expecting it to go this way.
Afterwards I went home. I learned from the maids that he left for work immediately I was taken to the hospital. He didn’t even call to check if I was okay, he didn’t care if I died.
The only thing I really admire the most about Derrick is that no matter how we quarrel and he gets so angry and aggressive, he has never raised his hands on me and I respect and love that for him.
I sat in the living room looking so lost in thoughts. Wondering how he would react once he finds out I’m pregnant. I just hope it really works out.
Several hours later he returned home with a frown tightened face.
“Welcome home.” I greeted with a low voice as I stood quickly from the couch.
“The papers will be ready tomorrow and let me warn you do not hesitate to sign those papers.” He pointed at me harshly and walked away.
I swallowed the lump on my throat and moved backwards slowly and landed on the couch.
I forced myself not to let out a drop of tears but the pain in my heart I couldn’t withstand.
He didn’t even ask about my health, he is just all about the divorce.
Why???
The tears I tried to hold finally dropped, I sat in silence as I cried out my eyes.
I shouldn’t sit here and cry when I haven’t done the needful yet, he should know I’m carrying his child and stop acting this way. I cleaned my eyes and stood up, heading to his room.
And suddenly I bumped into him mistakenly, not knowing he was coming from the corner.
“Don’t you have eyes, Zora?!!” He shouted and gave a very awful look at me.
“I-I’m..I’m sorry, didn’t see you coming from there.” I tried to explain with a shaky voice.
“You always get on my nerves, you woman. Leave my way!” He yelled at me.
“Please there is something I need to tell you.” I pleaded as a tear ran down my left eye.
“Keep whatever you want to say to yourself, I am not ready for any nonsense, right now.” He spoke so rudely and aggressively.
I gulped before saying. “Just listen to what I want to say and I’ll do whatever you want, if it’s the divorce I’ll go ahead with it.” As those words left my lips he immediately paused and turned to me.
“Go on.” He said as he folded his arms around his chest.
“Earlier today at the hospital, the doctor ran some tests on me and I found out that I’m carrying your child. I’m pregnant Derrick.” I spoke out and tears left my eyes.

Zora’s POV“What? How can that be possible?” He questioned with his eyes popped out in confusion and immediately he let out a frown. The look on his face gave me shivers, I am hoping it isn’t what I’m thinking. “What are you talking about? Derrick.” My voice was becoming weaker, my legs were shaking slightly. I felt feverish instantly. It really shouldn’t be what I am thinking. I kept repeating those words in my head. “What do you mean you are carrying my child? Do you really think I will believe that bullshit?” He questioned again with a low but thick voice. “You are getting me confused, you don’t believe I’m pregnant with your child?” I uttered with a shaky voice, my palm turned so sweaty, it felt like I was already suffocating. I bit my lower lip, trying to hold my tears from pouring. “How do you expect me to believe such lies, I haven’t even touched you before, so how did I get you pregnant?!” He shouted, looking so pissed already. “You don’t remember the night you were kind

Derrick’s pov I should have held myself. I never wanted to have sex with that woman, even as she knew I was tipsy she should have left me, she acts so weak, always trying to make excuses for everything. Why would she claim she is pregnant all of a sudden? This is the reason why I hate her, everything you do with her doesn’t go right. I can’t be the father of that child, that woman is trying to frame me. Or is she doing all of this not to get divorced? What a shame. I sat on my bed wondering. But what if I am also the father of this child? If we eventually divorce, it may not be so good for the child. What should I do? This won’t deprive me from marry my Mia. After all these years of living with heartbreak she came back to me as a changed person with a clean heart but she came quite late. I was already married to Zora. But that won’t stop me from loving her. I slept with so many thoughts running through my mind. The next morning came by quickly and I was preparing for work as u

Zora’s POVEIGHT YEARS LATER Ariana grew up to be a beautiful, intelligent girl. She has pretty green eyes and a very lovely smile, she is the best thing that has ever happened to me all these years. She is a duplicate of Derrick, the only thing I know she took from me was my dimples. These eight years of being a single mother has been like a roller coaster, it wasn’t an easy journey, I worked very hard just to make sure my daughter and I live well. I am just so grateful that my hard work paid off and now I own my own company. It wasn’t easy but giving up was never my option.I made sure I gave my daughter both motherly and fatherly love not to make her for any reason asked for her father. But two years ago when there was a family gathering at her school, she was acting all so moody and I noticed how she looked around as almost all the kids were with their parents and suddenly a question popped out of her mouth. “Mummy.” She called as she looked at a particular child with both par

Zora’s POV “Zora?” He said as he walked up to me, with so many smiles written all over his face as his dark brown eyes seemed to sink in even more. Goshhh!! This man’s face looks so familiar but I can’t recall. Why do I feel like I know him? Or do I? “I can’t believe this is really you, Zora.” He looked extremely happy as he walked closer to me and I couldn’t stop myself but smile a little and crinkle my eyebrows because it looks like he knows me so well. “Are you serious right now, don’t tell me you don’t remember me.” His smile suddenly vanished because I still haven’t said a word to him rather just stared at him. Luckily it’s just my secretary and two other men in the hall. “Sorry, I’m trying to recall but I still can’t remember.” I tried to be polite and smiled a little. “That’s okay if you don’t remember though, we were still so little back then in school.” He explained and immediately my eyes grew wider in surprise. “Don’t tell me you’re Austin?” I pointed at him with s

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,

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

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
