Chapter 62

Derrick’s point of view

The next morning I received a call from Stacy and she said she would be coming over to my house.

I obviously couldn't say no so I directed her to here.

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

    Chapter 64Derrick’s point of view “What! 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 66Zora’s point of view We got home and I went to shower. I was done after a few minutes, and I wore shorts and a tank top. I sat on my bed and the thoughts of what happened today filled my mind, the way Derrick and I spoke, the nice places he took me to, and also the beautiful paintings and art we saw. I took out my phone and scrolled through the pictures we took. Derrick looked so handsome in them. Even the thoughts of when he wore his jacket on me, made me remember the night we were both stocked in that cold room. The way he talked about how he wanted to make me warmer also made me remember the night we were both intimate for the first time. I took pleasure during that sex and how he fucked me so hard. I would really want that again if I had the chance but I don't think that would happen. I picked up my phone again and watched his picture. I am certainly getting horny, I should hold myself. I was so bored and wasn't feeling sleepy at all, I should just go downstai

    Chapter 67Zora’s point of view “Are we not going home?” Derrick asked and looked at me and I shook my head and smiled. “Let's go eat something,” I said and looked at him, he raised his brows slightly, still looking at me. “Alright.” He finally answered and looked outside the window. We finally got to the restaurant, a familiar place we'd eaten before. We got in and sat, we ordered what we wanted and a few minutes later we were served. I tried to make the us feel lively but Derrick wasn’t pulling that sand vibes back. We were done eating and ready to leave, Derrick called the waiter for the bill. “No, it is fine I’ll settle it,” I said and he looked up at me. “Why?” He asked as he laughed a little. I took out my debit card immediately and handed it to the waiter. “Zora you don’t have to…. Give her back her card.” Derrick disagreed and I frowned. “I suggested we come here so I should be the one footing the bills,” I said, still with a frown on my face. “You can't be with

    Chapter 68Zora’s point of view We were done with dinner, and Derrick left for his room, he complained of a slight headache he was having, and just needed to rest a little. So I was left alone in the living room, I was so bored staying there so I went to the balcony to sit for a while. Ana and I video-chatted, and we talked for a long while to the point I was hoping Derrick wouldn't barge in and see me on a call with Derrick. Ariana will definitely call me mother when he steps in.I really wanted Derrick back but won't it be complicated? Accepting him back with so much to think about and a lot to say. I am not ready for it, please.We finally disconnected as we were done talking. The only thing that pains me right now is Austin. So ever since I traveled and left that house without taking Ana along he hasn't even visited her for once. Ana told me several times she calls him, it's either his busy or not in town or rather at work. She told me how she dislikes Austin now. I'm so wor

    Chapter 69Zora’s point of view I didn’t realize I was smiling so much when he said that. “Alright then,” I said and looked out the window. He drove to most of the beautiful places I hadn’t seen before. To know the beauty of this city is always at night. We got to a place, where there were trees everywhere. How did Derrick know about these places? “Alright, let’s drop off here.” He uttered. “How come you knew about these places? When you never step out of the house except work.” I asked him and he laughed a little. “I have my ways of finding out, Zora.” He smiled. “You stay here.” He said and left the car, he walked to my door and opened it. I smiled and walked out of the car and he closed the door. “Let’s go.” He smiled and I nodded. We walked in and I noticed how everywhere was so dark. “Why is everywhere so dark?” I asked Derrick and he held my hand. “Should I make it brighter?” He asked and I furrowed my eyebrows. “How can you make it brighter?.” I asked him. “I will

    Chapter 70Derrick’s Point Of View Zora took me to an eatery to have lunch. Although I was quite angry at her, that was so nice and smart of her because I was starving already. We were done eating, I was about to settle the bills but Zora disagreed, wanting to pay instead. She insisted to the point I couldn't stop her anymore, so I allowed her to pay. While heading to the car I couldn't hold it anymore so I asked her why she was doing all of this. She was so honest, she said to make me feel better and she was concerned because I didn't eat anything in the morning. That made me happy, at least she is concerned about me, even if I am rejected. We got home afterward. We were seated in the living room discussing though, talking about some random things and laughing at the funny part. We both sat on a different couch but we were still a little close. One thing I also learned about Zora is that she loves talking, especially when she is very comfortable with you and I love how she t

    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
