I woke up to yummy insides and sore legs. Every part of me ached like I had used my body to mold blocks of cement.

I stretched my hands across the bed unconsciously and met it wide and open.

The sleepy spell that had me under was immediately wiped away by jealousy.

I guess I should be used to this by now, my heart burned at the realisation that maybe last night was nothing but a sad dream, a wanting that I wanted but the more my legs moved,the more I knew I wasn't delusional.

I groggily got of out bed and made the sides of the bed, I noticed with horror as my eyes met the clock on the wall that it wasn't long before the maids came back to work.

A part of me longed for derrick, maybe he was still around, maybe he hadn't already left me for whoever called him every morning or for work.

I quickly took my bath,adorned my self with heavenly scents and the prettiest summer dress I could find in my wardrobe with his signature colours, red and black that made my skin shine bright.

I took a bit of time to do a bit of makeup but I noticed how my skin raddiated with so much glow, I smiled at my reflection and she smiled right back at me.

Suddenly I perceived the smell of cooking bacon and eggs and realised that the maids were back from the tiny holiday I had given them and noticed that today marked the eighth year I was with derrick, eight years of my youth had been with him and now I was twenty eight with so much stories.

I stopped myself from visiting those memories and decided to go downstairs for breakfast, a part of me hoped that derrick would be in the dinning room, eating and paying me no mind. With his chair at the far end of the table but still making me happy that he was there nonetheless.

I went to the dinning with my heart heavy as the thoughts of betrayal seeped into my thoughts,poisoning everything we had shared and at the same time remembering how much my pussy pulsed with want and how hard it pulsed with satisfaction.

I was still in thoughts when I bumped into someone and hit my head, my hand instinctively went against my head to still the movement while I felt sick.

"Try keeping your eyes up, you're not blind and you should try to focus more" he said and I looked up at him, hurt that such words would erupt from such an individual but at the same time pleased that he was still here with his breakfast untouched.

I looked at him and he looked at me back with a scowl on his face and something else in his eyes.

I tried to decipher it but he ended up placing both hands on top of my shoulders, wrecking every boat that had sailed with thoughts of why he was still here to the ground.

"If you'd excuse me..." He said and moved me away as though I was a rag doll.

Thoughts came flooding into my mind,the same way I blushed heavily like a little girl been wooed by a school boy.

He noticed my blush and I swear that the same thoughts passed through him because his eyes settled on the sides of my neck at the same time he glowed red with another emotion.

He had me confused but at the same time I didn't feel like arguing instead I wanted to have his presence where I could see it.

"Bacon and eggs for the missus?" My birtish chef asked me from no where and I nodded a yes while my eyes stared transfixed on Derrick's phone for no particular reason.

Within minutes the chef brought the food and served derrick his as well, derrick joined me for breakfast and before long he started to dig in while I managed to get a few bites.

I was seating a chair close to derrick and he didn't seem to notice the closeness that I was exhibiting and I felt beyond elated.

I wanted to see how far I could test my new bond with him, maybe I could even place my hands on his and we could have a normal conversation.

I knew if I didn't try then derrick wasn't going to try and then I would be stuck in this lonely loop and that would be the end of me.

So, I breathed in alot of air before sucking it up and deciding that I was going to start small by asking him questions.

"So, how'd you sleep last night?" I asked and his spoon stopped going in his mouth.

Instantly i regretted every bit of me that laughed at my first attempt that just started with recollections of our sexy night.

He stopped eating and took some orange juice and was about to leave.

"Don't go! I'll be quiet" I said and that got him to sit down back and continue eating his food.

My mood depleted as he did that,indicating that he didn't want to speak to me but the moment his phone blinked, my eyes caught a familiar name and my blood tensed up.

"Do you like your food?" I asked and he paused for the second time before making a 'hmm hmm' sound instead of a direct yes or no.

It hurt so fucking much when things like these happened on some days especially not today that was our anniversary.

I remembered that I had earlier gotten him a gift prior to today, I rushed out of my seat and went straight to where I kept it since I knew for a fact that he wouldn't have guessed the present was there for him.

I took the large box I had with me and handed it over to him bubblily and cheery but derrick took the box as though it reeked of filth and scum.

My body revolted and anger began to set in at the same time, I felt dizzy and began to wonder how long we had sex for when his phone beeped again with a notification that said:

' baby! I'd send you nudes immediately your wife leaves'

My eyes slanted in anger and I put my hands on my waist waiting for derrick to notice that I was upset.

When he didn't notice or rather didn't want to notice I decided to take matters into my own hands.

"Well! Happy fucking anniversary to you derrick" I shouted and began to walk away.

" Come back here" he said calmly but I was too angry to even look him in the eye.

"I said! Come back here!" He shouted and I stopped in my tracks, my hands forming balls that sweezed in anger.

I turned back to him and walked back while I grabbed the box from him and began to tear it's wrapper open.

"What are you doing!" Derrick asked what was happening but never actually because he wanted to but because he didn't want to.

I tore every piece of wrapper,leaving two boxes of colourful well made Nikes that were also customied.

I expected derrick to grin from ear to ear but derrick didn't spare it more than three seconds.

Enraged, I took the plate of food that derrick had been chewing on and that was when he finally decided to give me some attention.

"You're acting angry when I should be the one angry?" I asked him, my annoyance showing through every corner of my body.

He looked up from the table and then at the poor chef who was still in the kitchen. He didn't need any words because he saw himself out.

"You fuck me last night for the first time and then this morning you act in a totally different way?" I ask,my heart unable to keep up with the game of charades we were playing.

He sighed and his phone blinked another message.

"Didn't you say she was nothing to worry about?" I asked,my voice coming out in a mere whisper, my heart breaking from what was happening.

Derrick may have been an asshole countless times but I loved derrick through and through,I had fallen for those eyes,those smiles he would casually throw me and his sway.

I fell for it all and haven't regretted a single thing since,until now.

"Look. Last night..." He began, his hands touching his phone and I waited patiently for him to finish his sentence.

"Don't you dare say it was a mistake, you touched me as though you saw me the first time, even better than the first time we made love—

"Was a huge mistake" he finished matter of factly,shutting me up immediately.

I looked at him and moved closer to him.

I took his hand from where it Kay,fingering his phone and placed it on top of my breast.

"Feel that?" I asked, my breast recognized his touch and immediately I got turned on.

He took his hands back forcefully and stood up.

I was confused on what it was that was going on.

"I can forgive you derrick,o know you have sexathons with different women but it doesn't change my love for you, you drink and stay up so late and whatever else happens, so what? Who doesn't? I love you" I said,my voice breaking at the thought that he can believe that I would leave him if I knew he was outside doing nasty things.

"I just want you here, I love that you're here with me, even though you called her name in your sleep a few times" I said and gave a slight chuckle.

He turned back at me, looked me over as though he hated my very shadow.

I flinched at how bad I must have been yesterday for him to not even regard me.

"You're a thorn in my flesh daisy. From the moment you agreed to marry me, I have loathed you strongly" he began and my eyes widened in shock.

This was not what you said to someone who just confessed her love for you.

"How can you be so pathetic, you know how much women I have and yet you still love me? Why?" He asked me, his eyes furrowed at the idea that I could be that forgiving.

His phone rang and in my presence and absence of words he picked up the phone as it danced in his hands.

My eyes saw her name flash boldly and I gasped.

"You said she was nothing to worry about..." I said,my eyes watering now not even from the insult he had gifted me and on our anniversary.

"Well. I lied daisy. She is all I think about, morning, noon and night" he spat and I felt sick to my stomach.

This couldn't be happening to me, not after what happened last night.

"But you touched me, last night you touched me" I said determined and he shook his head and gave a tight smile before his face turned deathly serious, his movements brushed past me before my eyes caught the realisation that he was leaving.

I went after him, my hands stretching to catch him before he walked out of the door, into the life of his first love Mia Fernando.

"You can't do this to me! You. Touched. Me. Not her! Me. You love me. You love me!" I shouted and grabbed his hands but he flinched his hands out of my grip and faced me, his legs already out the door.

" I want a divorce!" He screamed back at me and I stilled.

Tears started to fill my eyes as the whole world stopped moving, my stomach felt sick and I wanted to puke and cry at the same time.

"What?" I managed to choke out.

    Zora’s point of view “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.

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.

    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

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

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

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

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'

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

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

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
