Chapter 39

Derrick’s point of view

We left and I was hoping for the result to come out soon.

Mia looked so angry, we actually didn’t say a word till we got to a particular area.

“Drop me here, I'll be fine.” She uttered, looking outside the window.

“Why? I'll drop you at home”

“Please, Derrick, I need fresh air, I'll call the guards to come to pick me up later.” she wasn't in a good mood and I didn't want any arguments as to why she wanted to come down here.

“Alright, if that's what you want.” I said and pulled over. I dropped her off and drove away.

What if she is really carrying my child or did I go too hard on her? Mia makes it hard to believe.

I went straight to the office.

Lee came into my office shortly.

We had a meeting with a company. I was not so ready yet, so many things on my mind.

I left my office to attend to them properly and when the meeting was finally done. I went back to my office and Lee joined me in.

I let out a deep breath as I sat on my couch in the off

    Chapter 40Derrick’s point of view Immediately the doctor said that I stepped back in disbelief. “So doctor are you saying, she isn't pregnant no miscarrage no nothing?” I still couldn't believe it. “There is no such thing like that in your wife's stomach, I am sorry Mr Derrick.” The doctor patted my shoulder and left. I walked back slowly and sat on the chair. Mia did this? Mia lied to me? Why would she have done that? I had high hopes for this pregnancy, even if I didn't love Mia, I was ready to keep her and the child and she did this to me? Why?I felt so much pain. I wasn't expecting her to go this far. Mia has crossed the line this time, she has done enough, and she has deceived me for over three months now. I looked like a joke to her. How ludicrous of me to think she was pregnant when we hadn't had sex for a while. I should have investigated properly. My first was tightly clenched. I looked so enraged.She has done enough now it's time for her to leave. It's better I ju

    Chapter 41Derrick’s point of view Fuck!!!I can't live with this woman anymore. “Mr Jude, isn't there any way to stop that from happening?” I asked him, I don't want Mia back in this house anymore. “There is…. Only if she accepts to tell the judge she also wants the divorce.” He responded. “I'll have to tell her to accept it or else Mia will make my life a living hell for this one month trial.” I was already so exhausted by all the dramas. “Alright Mr Derrick, I’ll be waiting for your feedback.” Mr Jude said and he hung up. I need to convince her but how will I do that, Mia would want to prolong this divorce for another month. I laid on my bed properly trying to figure out what to say to Mia about this issue. And eventually, I slept off. The following morning. It was a Sunday morning. I decided to call Mia to see if I could convince her to go on with the divorce. The phone rings for a while and to my greatest surprise, she picks it up. “Hey, Mia.” I greeted her. “Why are

    Chapter 42Zora’s point of view I woke up and found myself at the hospital, I thought I would never make it out of there. My breathing wasn't so strong so I was supported by oxygen. The doctor came in and examined me properly. I explained to him that I felt so much pain and headaches. He advised me to rest and he would bring medication for my complaints. He turned to leave when someone flashed into my mind. “Doctor, please I want to ask if Mr Derrick Robert is admitted here?” I enquired. “Yes he is but he isn't in a critical state, I probably think he is sleeping now.” The doctor answered and I breathed down softly. “Alright, you can tell him I am awake now.” I ordered the doctor and he assured me he would do just that. After the check up, the doctor left and a while later someone slightly knocked.Sophia Madison came in. “Sophia!” I called her name a little louder as she could hear clearly. “So how did you know I was here?” I asked her and smiled. “After receiving a call

    Chapter 43Zora’s point of view. The following morning I went to work, and my staff greeted me and welcomed me back to work. Sofia walked into my office. “Good morning, Mrs Zora, you should be resting at home, you just left the hospital yesterday.” Sofia let out and I smiled. “I am fit and fine, I mean what should I do in the house? I wanted to come yesterday but I know you’d want to chase me away back to the house so I just tested. So let me work today, okay?” I laughed as she tightened her face a little. “Who am I not to let you work but I'll do all the stressful ones today.” She insisted and I agreed she welcomed me back to work and left. I was seated already on my chair and looked around my office, why does it feel like I haven't been here for a while? On my desk there wasn't so much to do, I just went through the files there and tried to work on some. At the end of the day, I was heading back from work when a car parked in front of me urging me to stop. What nonsense Is

    Chapter 44Zora’s point of view “How did you know about this?” I was so curious to know. “Uhm…. Lee told me about it,” she said and I was wondering when Sophia and Lee became close enough to speak about this. I shouldn’t be bothered about that now, what's this I am hearing about Derrick? Why would he just get divorced, just like that? Even if Mia is giving him a hard time, they should sort things out rather than choosing divorce, he claims he loves Mia so why can't he settle the situation between them? I was quite disappointed in Derrick if he really wants to get a divorce. “I was thinking you know about it already.” Sophia said, looking a little worried. “That's by the way, I might talk to Derrick about it later.” I said, I guess we are quite close now so I think we can talk about it. If he doesn't mind. “There will be a meeting by 1 pm so go and prepare for it.” I said to Sophia and she left. After the meeting I came back to my office and decided to call Derrick. He immedia

    Chapter 45Derrick’s point of view For the past few days staying with Mia has made my life so miserable. I was in my office, I couldn't even think straight anymore, the constant headaches kept on coming back, and I had to seek medication. On my way back from the hospital, I decided to see my little friend, I feel comfortable and I feel like my worries have been drawn away, whenever I see her. I have been coming frequently to see her and we are now best buddies. As I reached the school, I sat at the reception where she normally waits for her driver to come pick her up. “Hey Ariana, what's up?” I waved at her and she ran up to me and hugged me. I lifted her and dropped her back to the ground which made her giggle. “So I hope you enjoyed your classes today?” I asked her and she nodded and brought out her book, showing me her beautiful drawings. “This is so pretty.” I praised her. “Ariana, is he your daddy?” Her friend walked up to her, pointing at me. She looked at me. “Yes he

    Chapter 46Derrick’s point of view. The next day, on a Sunday I was seriously thinking of a way to tell Zora to testify in court. If only she would agree to do that, Mia would learn her lessons as to why not to harm anyone. Mia caused all this to happen and I won’t let her go till she gets punished, with the anger in me, if only I had seen Mia anywhere I would have beaten her with all the rage in me, I would have vented it up on her. When I was slowly calming down, I realized that I shouldn’t beat Mia, if I did that, the trial would be increased and they might also lock me behind bars for whatever I planned to do to Mia. But thank goodness I got calm even till now I haven't set my eyes on Mia. I decided to call Zora. “Hello, Derrick.” Her voice was cracked. Zora has cried enough. “Hey Zora, I know you might be so tired but can I come over to see you? There is something very important I need to talk to you about.” I spoke to her but she kept quiet for a while. “Do you want to

    Chapter 47Zora’s point of viewIt's been three months since Derrick got divorced, we were kind of close now but he still doesn't know anything about Ana.I was in my office, going through a file when Sophia rushed into my office with the head of the financial unit “What's wrong?” I couldn't even tell what was wrong with Sophia. “The money, all the money in the company's account is gone.” She forced herself to speak up. “What!!” I think I misheard what she said, my body was trembling, and I rushed to my laptop to see it for myself. The three zeroes were bold, no single penny was left there in the account. I sat on my chair forcefully. “How did this happen?” I asked Sophia, hoping whatever I was seeing was not true and I was just dreaming. I should wake up from this silly dream, I pinched myself so hard. “Mrs Zora, there is no description, everything there is just blank.” Mr Wellman, the head of the financial unit said. Who could have done this to me, where do I even? Start fro

    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

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
