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

    Zora’s point of view “CONGRATULATIONS!” Almost everybody in the party congratulated Austin and I. After the party, Austin insisted that he would take me home. “Then what about my car?” I asked him with my eyebrows raised, waiting for his response. “I’ll take you with your car and ask my guards to bring a car along with us. Please I want your safety.” He insisted and I couldn’t disagree anymore. “Alright.” I gave him this tired look and immediately he smiled and took my hand. “Let’s go.” He said as we walked out of the hall. On our way home, there was this awkward silence and I didn’t really know what to say too. Austin took my hand and held it. “Let’s just stay like this for a while.” He looked at me and looked back at the road. A smile left my lips and I held his hand properly before saying. “So are you going to drive with just one hand?” I smiled and he looked at me. “Of course, thats not a big deal.” He laughed before turning to the road. “So about the engagement.

    Derrick’s point of view For the past eight years of marriage with Mia has been like hell in my life. Mia wasn’t like this before we got married, she was one of the sweetest, loveliest and most especially very kind hearted. What has gotten into her lately. All she cares about now is money, sex, new fashion clothes and so many unwanted things. most especially the money aspect. I can’t even think straight, I love Mia so much but she pays me back with this?!The money I am always ravishing on her isn't enough?I sat on the couch waiting for her to come back home from wherever she had gone too. Tonight I promised myself not to go out there searching for her like before.I can’t be suffering this way. She doesn’t even support me at work anymore, I struggle alone at the office while she will be out there partying with friends. I’m fed up with this whole bullshit!I heard my phone ring and I picked up. “We have found her and we are heading back home now.” One of the guards I sent to go se

    Derrick’s point of view “You said she did what?” I shouted, looking all shocked and surprised. “You can see for yourself.” He pointed to the tab. I couldn’t believe Mia would go this far to take such an amount of money without letting me know of it. What have I done to myself?Is it a crime to love someone?“When did she take this amount of money I didn’t know of?” I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, that is a very huge amount of money. “That is what baffles me the most .” Lee answered. The money I give her isn’t enough, now this?What has coming over this woman? “Lee, you need to find out.” I said to him and he nodded. “I’ll see you soon, man.” He said and left. My elbow was on my desk, supporting my head. Mia has gone far this time. After work I went back home and luckily she was at home. “Welcome back home, baby.” She came to me and took my bag from my hand. “Mia, did you take 1 million dollars from the company’s account? Was it because I gave you access to it before a

    Derrick’s point of view I left the house looking so pissed and angry, I am so tired of living like this. How I wish we were just like how people crammed us on social media. People think we are the best couples but I truly do not wish them this kind of relationship. Why will I leave my house every fucking day with so much rage and I go to bed at night with so much anger. Mia is a pain in the neck and I am honestly tired of everything, I can’t keep up like this anymore. When we weren’t married yet, I always pictured how my night will be so peaceful when she is by my side and how I will have a happy home but now all I see is just the opposite. Eight years of marriage with Mia and still yet no kids, not even one. I’m honestly so tired. I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. I got to my office and let out a big sigh as I sat on my chair. I looked so exhausted already. During lunch time Lee and I were having lunch in my office. I explained everything to him and how Mia and I hav

    Derrick’s point of view I am doomed, I don’t know how to go about this situation now. I just kept on rambling about in my office, my mind is long gone, thinking of how to get the money back. “You need to calm yourself down, Derrick, we would find a way to sort things out.” Lee encouraged me but my head was blocked honestly, I don’t know what to think of or what to do anymore. “What about your wife, what did she say yesterday?” Lee asked and I turned to look at him. “Mia, has finished my company, she has drained my company, she told me she has used up all the money she took yesterday and I kept on imagining how that kind of amount would just vanish like that.” I don’t know what to say anymore, the air conditioner was on but I still kept on sweating profusely. “You need to sue that woman and make her talk about where she kept that money.” Lee suggested. “How can I sue my pregnant wife, what will people say? Lee, think of it!” “Then your company will be sued in court so which one i

    Derrick’s point of view I watched her as she got into a car and drove away. I regret betterly, I shouldn’t have caused Zora pain, she deserved more love. I stood up from where I sat and walked into my car and the driver started the engine and drove off. I finally got home. “Derrick, we need to talk.” Mia walked up to me and I scowled at her with everything in me. If only she didn’t come back to my life at least I wouldn’t have hated Zora so much, all of this wouldn’t have happened. “I don’t have anything to say to you, just get out of my way.” I said trying to walk away and she held my arm tightly. “What’s with all this attitude you have been pulling lately?” I forcefully took my hands away, trying to hold my anger from superseding. “If you don’t want me worse than this, just avoid me!” My voice was low but stern enough for her to step back. And I walked into my room afterwards. I changed up and went to shower, I was so exhausted, I didn’t waste a lot of time. I stepped out

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

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
