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

Zora point of view “Give them a reply, let’s see what they got, if it’s something I don’t like, then we won’t go on with the deal. Okay?” I said to her with a smiling face and she nodded, looking at me strangely. “But ma’am, it’s the Ricks Company.” She said with her eyes wide open. “I know, Sophia.” I laughed, “send them a reply, we should hold the meeting tomorrow.” I added and she nodded and left. Whatever happens, happens. I have gotten over him, I am doing this to make my company grow further, that’s all. Later that day I went back home and Austin came over. “Hey beautiful.” He said as he walked in and saw me in the living room and sat on the couch I sat. “Hey handsome.” I replied and we both laughed a little. “So how are you? How was today’s work?” He asked all at once. “I'm all good and today’s work was good, I think I summoned the courage to do what I never thought of doing.” I answered and he scrunched up his eyebrows. “I hope it wasn’t stressful?” He questioned im

Derrick’s point of viewWe sat and waited for the CEO to arrive and some moments later a lady walked in. Is she the one? Isn’t this Zora? Don’t tell me she is the CEO of this company. She introduced herself to Lee and as the CEO of Aria Empire. I was so shocked. Zora looked so elegant and bold, she looked so different. How did she manage to build such an empire in just eight years? Indeed she is such a strong woman. She walked up to me and introduced herself, like she didn’t know who I was. “Zora?” I whispered her name but still she acted like she was just seeing me for the first time. She looked so straight up and no single smile left her lips, she was so confident as she talked and walked back to her seat. Lee began to explain some business ideas to her but I couldn’t even pay attention to it. My mind wasn’t still on the right track and all my attention was still on Zora. I still can’t believe she is the one.There are so many questions I’d like both of us to talk about, I d

Zora’s point of view I just have to act normal. I said to myself as he walked in. “Mrs Zora, do you mind if we talk for a few minutes?” He asked politely and his voice was so calm. “Of course not, seat.” I replied, I want to know what he wants to say. He sat and looked up at my face. He wanted to speak when I cut him off by telling him that whatever he wants to talk about should be strictly on business talks and that’s it. To avoid any discussion that would get him to know about Ana. He clarified to me by saying it was nothing more than a business talk and I gave him a listening ear. He talked about how his company is gradually crumbling and how he really needs my help. Hearing about his company issue made me feel bad because I know what took Derrick to build up the company that way. And after that, he decided to share the money 60% and 40%, that was when I realized that he really needs my help. But what must have made his company run down like this? But I wasn’t so interes

Zora’s point of view The next day I drove to work. I left very early due to the accumulated work I left behind. Ariana’s school was on holiday now due to the festive season and Christmas was fast approaching too. So we were all getting prepared for it. I arrived at my office and attended to most of the workload piled on my desk first before doing any other thing. After lunch, Sophia came into my office to inform me that Derrick and most of his staff had arrived. And I was also getting prepared for that too. “Alright I will be there shortly.” She left afterwards and I arranged the file I’ll be needing there and left my office.I got to the hall door, took a deep breath and walked in. I hope everything goes out as planned. We all greeted, most of my workers were present there also. And Derrick greeted me with so many smiles on his face and I reciprocated but mine wasn’t as much as his. We started and decided on how the product will be like and how much the data will cost. A

Zora’s point of view It was 7pm on the dot and I packed my things and arranged my desk before leaving. I was done, so I carried my bag and my car key and left my office. “Sophia I am leaving now, hurry up with whatever you are doing and go home, it’s getting darker already. “Alright Mrs Zora, once I am done I will leave, I just want to make sure it’s completed.” She replied and looked back at her desk. “Okay, I’ll be here early tomorrow, we need to finish up this December 23rd, because we will be going for a break till the new year’s.” “Every December work is always tied up, so it isn’t a new thing.” She said and we both laughed. “Good night, Ms Sophia.” I uttered and she waved back at me immediately. “Good night, Mrs Zora.” she waved and I waved back at her and left. I left the office and went home. I looked extremely tired today and went into my room then I received a call from Austin as I changed up. I picked up and we greeted, he asked if I was at work.“No I am not, I

Derrick’s point of view The deal was finalized between our both companies and I wasn’t still feeling satisfied and elated. I have wrong Zora severely in the past. I made her life feel so meaningless and ineffective and I don’t know why she really did this for me, I feel so awful and remorseful for everything I did to her. I went to her office, to plead with her so we could talk for a little while. After apologizing immensely to Zora and the moment she forgave me. I felt so happy, I grasped the burden on my shoulders had finally been taken off. I couldn’t even express how much joy I detected. I thanked her so much because even if I was in her shoes I wouldn’t have forgiven easily. Zora has a very kind heart and I am glad we have resolved any misunderstanding around us. Even if I don’t get her back eventually, I’ll be at peace with myself now. I made sure I took her personal number before leaving. There would be holidays due to the festive period so it wouldn’t be hard to get in

Zora’s point of view After Derrick and I were done talking. I laughed out a little and shook my head. I really can’t believe this guy, he is married and he still wants to hang out with me, what happened to his wife? I shook my head and dropped my phone on the couch and continued watching my movie and munching my popcorn. As much as I decided to run sales with his company, we can’t be going out, why would I want to go out with a married man. I rolled my eyes. “Mummy what’s wrong?” I totally forgot Ariana was also in the living room with me and instead of watching the television, Ariana’s attention was built on me. “My love, mummy is fine, some thoughts were just running through my head.” I explained. “Sorry about that.” She said and looked at the television. And I smiled at her before looking at the screen. The next day Austin came over to the house with lots of gifts for everyone and we decided to decorate the house and also got a Christmas tree. We all made the house look s

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
