When Dreams Are Made Think Of The Devil And He Appears
When Dreams Are Made 50That morning, Nancy woke up unusually early to prepare for the day ahead, Derek was still sleeping soundly by the time she finished taking an early morning bath, not even arousing the maids to help her. She quietly slipped out of the bedroom and tiptoed into the parlor, making sure not to stumble on anybody on the way. She quietly opened the back door and slipped out into the cold morning, the dews were still fresh on the leaves and the livestocks in the yard were just waking up as well, daylight was just making it's way in to talk over the night.She braided her hair as she walked up the path that led to the stable, then entered to find Phil busy with the horses, he was particularly combing the mane of a white stallion. When he heard her come in and looked up to see that it was indeed her, he spared her a minute to say over his shoulders;"I was beginning to think you have lost interest in working in the stable, My Lady" he said as she approached him."Certain
When Dreams Are Made Ebony Queen, You are Maleficent!
When Dreams Are Made 51Nancy looked up to find Derek walking furiously towards them, her mind sank in her chest. He slowed down when he saw his cousin standing beside Phil, Night Walker's reins in his hands, Nancy was also beside the horse, petting it unconsciously with both hands and her eyes holding him as he walked towards them. Something about the way he walked briskly, his shirt roughly unbuttoned at the top and his tousled hair flying in the morning wind, even as it did, the sunlight shone on it brightly, creating a reflection. He wore the trouser he had worn yesterday, he had probably picked it from where he tossed it last night during their love making. Even the trouser was unbuttoned, only the zipper was done. Nancy gulped as he approached her, waiting for the worst."Good morning." She said to him immediately he was within hearing distance. Without answering her and without a word of greeting to either of the men with him there, he took a seat on a wooden stool by the sta
When Dreams Are Made In The End, Fate Decides Our Dreams
Chapter 52It was not until late afternoon that Nancy left the stable, she had spent the whole day there with nothing to eat. Paying deaf ears to Phil's endless plea for her to go and eat something. But food had been the least on her mind then, a little jubilation for her victory with Derek and the fact that she had successfully made her own decision against all odds killed whatever domestic hunger she felt at the time. It was the force that drove her to learn, to work hard and to want to master the new craft she had ventured in. By the time she entered the kitchen that afternoon, she was already too tired and blurry eyed from all that work. Rosey was busy at the fire, stirring a large pot of soup on the blazing fire. Nancy noted that she looked exceptionally lovely in the clean flowery gown she wore, her hair tied back neatly at the base of her neck. She looked serene and fresh, which made Nancy feel even more tired. Victory perked up when she saw Nancy and left the spot she was sit
When Dreams Are Made Except You Wouldn't Dare
Chapter 53The two women remained in the Kitchen till evening, getting almost everything done and conversing at length about random things. By evening, they saw a rainbow in the clear sky. For Nancy, it was her first time seeing such strange light but Rosey was an old hand at it. At first, Nancy was frightened by the colorful glow until Rosey explained that the colorful light in the sky was a normal phenomenon and that it appeared frequently. She also got to learn that the light took different shades, and was sometimes white. The more beautiful colors were blue, red or even violet. Nancy was enthralled, and looked forward to seeing more. Certain things about this place were still full of mysteries for her, so different from her own part of the world. This was another world entirely and sometimes she was glad to be here, the only thing spoiling her joy being her husband and the mystery of her parents. Nancy returned to their room that night after making sure there was nothing left fo
When Dreams Are Made Trying Not To Traumatize My Eyes
Chapter 54Derek's smile widened at the confusion on Nancy's face. She really tried to repress the urge to wipe off that smile from his face with her fists and instead she stalked towards the door, Derek was still watching her with that smile plastered on his face, when she got to the door, he called out after her, "I already told you that I am not in any mood for your stubbornness today, Nancy." When she turned to look at him, he added with a smirk, "You will follow my orders and do as I tell you.""It's cold, I need to go back in and light a candle or lamb." "Oh? But I don't think it's cold though." He said easily, while chewing lazily on his meat."I'm cold and I'll be cold." "Fine. You can light the candle but return here after you are done." Nancy groaned and opened the door, she closed it with a bang immediately she got out and took a moment to catch her breath by leaning outside the door with eyes closed. Why was he trying to punish her instead of just hitting the nail on t
When Dreams Are Made A Layman's Dream
tChapter 55Derek walked Briskly down the dark hall, troubled by his own thoughts and angry with himself for something he could not even place his mind on. He had taken to punishing himself that morning, after her plan to punish Nancy backfired and she ended up having the upper hand and now here he was sulking at his own failure to get hold of his emotions. When did he become such a sex freak? That woman was driving him mad with need that the thought of her being with his stable boy was enough to make him mad. He had taken her several times and yet, somehow when she was around him she still found a way of making herself desirable even without trying. What was he to do? And there was a long way to go for them, how long before he gets tired of her? He had resolved to give in to his need for her for now, soon he will get tired of her and let her have her way with her stable boy. But that did not look like something that was bound to happen soon and so he had decided it was best he left
When Dreams Are Made We Are Just Master And Slave
Chapter 56Nancy tried so hard to sleep but could not, sleep was eluding her and she knew why. She could not relax, not until she knew that Derek had returned, even if he did not come back to the room. She tried to focus her eyes on the faint light of the candle whose wax was already burning out, but it was no use. Her body was tense, stiff as a board, her thoughts were in disarray. She waited and waited, for what seemed like hours, she kept waiting to hear the door down the corridor open and close. Why was it so important that she knew that Derek was back before she could find sleep herself? And where was he going off to by this time of the night? But she already knew the answer, to Scarlett ofcourse, or maybe even Naya. She winced at the thought, had they finally decided to meet outside the house instead?When the bedroom door finally opened, Nancy almost jumped out of her skin but she held herself, trying not to give him any hint that she was awake. How did she not hear the corrido
When Dreams Are Made Gone With The Wind
When Dreams Are Made 57Derek could not sleep for the rest of that damned night, and he couldn't shake off the feeling of guilt, anger and bitterness that plagued his thoughts. He spent the first few hours of that morning packing up anything he would need for his trip away, and then he went to the stable and took out Night Walker, fed it himself without another glance in Philip's direction and then he groomed it and rode out to his parents house. He did not spend time there, he stayed long enough to let them know he would be leaving with the rest of his men and Carl first thing tomorrow morning, bid his niece farewell and promised her everything he could to make her let him go. But his mother insisted he should stay for a late lunch, so he did. He could barely eat himself, so he was first to excuse himself from the table, but it was too much to hope that his father would let him off so easily. "Does she know you are leaving tomorrow?" His father asked, referring to Nancy."She knows

Chapter 102"ls Daisy asleep now?""Yes, My Love," Nancy answered as she crawled into bed to snuggle close to Derek. “I'm sure she sensed that her father was about to trouble her mother for the third time in one night. I bet that was why she woke up." Derek chuckled sweetly and drew her closer to himself, "Her mother loves the trouble." "She doesn't have much of a choice, does she?" Nancy grinned. "I'm afraid not." Derek said and kissed her tenderly, Nancy kissed him back with everything in her. When his hands began to roam down her breast and his kiss deepened, she didn't know when a loud moan escaped her mouth."Shh… you know we should be quiet if we are going to do this." Derek whispered softly.Nancy stopped and said with a frown, "We can always let Lydia keep Daisy or let her stay the night with Mitchelle in her room. You know I don't know how to contain my moans, especially when you touch me the way you do." "I won't let someone else keep Daisy until she is old enough to take
When Dreams Are Made Revelation
Chapter 101The woman was too old to run and she knew that she had been made, but she wasn't going to give up easily, no, she wouldn't let them catch her. She ran towards the only exit she had had her man make for her, but now that he was dead and she was running through this big house with an infant who won't stop crying, it was more difficult than she thought. She ran back the way she had come, and that was when she saw the guards, by now words had gotten out that the new baby was missing, and the entire house was in jeopardy. Guards were running helter skelter to secure the place, and the hope of her getting out of her was too thin. Hell, she had done this easier twenty four years ago, it had been easier! Old age sure came with it's own disadvantages, and regrets. She had a lot of them, why had she let the opportunity to keep that whiny little girl out of her sight and her hand? She had never thought her dreams would take her this far, back to her roots! Back to the very place sh
When Dreams Are Made Caught
Chapter 100Nancy was too scared to breath, her breath was hitching and she was sobbing loudly as they ran through the hall. Derek was beginning to fear for her, but he knew better than to try to stop her from joining them on the search.When they found Scarlett, there was no question as to whether she had a hand in what was happening, the woman was beyond shaken and too scared to even get out any sensible word."What have you done with my child!" Nancy yelled in despair as she grabbed Some by her dress."Nothing! I didn't do anything!"Derek was beyond angry, in his present mood, he knew that he would kill her if he got his hand on her, which was why he maintained his distance and waited for her to say something sensible. "Where is my child, Scarlett?" He asked coldly. "I don't have her!" Scarlett began, hoping that her pity game would work, "Derek, why would you believe I would want anything evil to happen to you?" She tried to go close to him but Nancy dragged her back and gave h
When Dreams Are Made Sinister Plans
Chapter 99When Scarlett saw Phil being dragged into the house by Derek's men a few minutes after she saw the other man in bounds too, she became alarmed. But that was not the end of her troubles, following closely behind them was a woman who looked too much like Nancy, if she had not seen Nancy leave the room with Derek a few minutes ago, and of she didn't know that the woman had put to bed just yesterday, she would have thought that this woman was really Nancy because the resemblance was uncanny.Scarlett was too scared for herself because Phil did not look like he could withstand pressure. The foolish man had taken too long to finish the task she had sent him to complete, and had nearly lost his own head in the course of it. And now he was being taken by the very same people he was supposed to be running from, Scarlett knew Derek too well, he would not hesitate to kill Phil, or even her if she found out that she had masterminded this whole thing. As she waited behind the shadows f
When Dreams Are Made Time Changed Us
Chapter 98Nancy stood rooted to the spot, her mouth agape and her eyes widened, she was too shocked to speak, and too stunned to even move. But it appeared she was not the only one who was momentarily paralyzed by the shock in the room, Derek was equally transfixed to the spot, he could definitely not believe his eyes. Lydia on the other hand had to see and feel things for herself, she had heard the stories and witnessed a few horrors herself, but when she set out on this journey to return to her parents and to see the imposter pretending to be her, it had been because she probably just wanted to help her parents even though they did not deserve it. And she had come with the mind to let them know her disappointment in them for their inability to tell her apart from someone else.But now, seeing this person for herself, it was like looking at her own reflection through the mirror. She reached out and touched the person in front of her, she herself appeared shocked and stepped back in
When Dreams Are Made Proof?
Chapter 97Derek received Harvey's news with mixed feelings of happiness for his friend and misery at his own misfortune. Harvey had returned to his own house where his new family awaited him after congratulating Derek on the arrival of his daughter and soliciting for Rosey's freedom, which Derek had no trouble giving. His father had come the previous evening too, to see his new granddaughter after his mother sent him the news. Barry Gates, his supposed in-law was present and they were all celebrating the arrival of the child down with the rest of the house. But Derek was far from happy, his last conversation with Nancy left him with a mixed feeling of guilt and emptiness, an emptiness that felt all too familiar yet repelling.He didn't want to spend the rest of his days like that, no. This was the second time he admitted to himself that he loved a woman, and yet again, he could not have her, because of that little bridge between them. He had lost her before, and now that it seemed li
When Dreams Are Made All Over Again
Chapter 96Nancy was led into the room, the same room she once shared with Derek. She recalled what Mitch and Rosey had told her, how he had ordered everything that would remind him of her to be burnt and yet here she was again. She was angry at herself for having let him bring her here, but then at the time, the thought had given her so much joy. When she entered the room, the first thing that caught her eye was the large portrait on the wall, Lydia's portrait. She was first filled with mixed feelings, but then her anger grew. How dare he leave the portrait there? Was it to mock her? Or to make her think there was still a place for her here? She shook her head and slowly walked to the bed but she stopped short at the sight that met her eyes. Derek was sitting on a chair beside the bed, holding the baby and playing with her little fingers. He looked up and was surprised to see her walk in, but Nancy did not notice. She saw only the way he held her baby lovingly and how happy he was. H
When Dreams Are Made So Much To Live For
Chapter 95For the first hours after the baby's birth, every time she opened her eyes, she was filled with fear, and she could not dispel her feelings of apprehension until she assured herself her baby was all right. Lauren had told her that her child was safe and being fed at the moment, because according to her, the baby was too weak to wait for her own milk. Nancy asked if Derek had been allowed near her child, and she was told of how he had been of great help during the birthing, but she could not bring herself to believe it. She recovered slowly from the birthing, and all the pains were forgotten the moment Lucille brought her baby, wrapped in warm sheets and now dressed in sweet little clothes for her to hold for the first time. It was a grievous disappointment to Nancy that most of the child's features had been gotten from Derek, and very little from her, but Lauren told her that all that might go away as the baby grew. She wanted so much to give her baby the nourishment she
When Dreams Are Made To Derek, Shall We?
Chapter 94Roberts had exhausted every ounce of his strength on this wild goose chase, but the man he was going after was having a field day running through the steep path. He considered swinging his knife into the horse's back like he had seen Derek do several times in the field, but he decided against it, the animal did not deserve such barbaric treatment, and he was certainly not a heartless man. Luck smiled on him when he saw the black horse on which his target was riding stop and let out a sudden deafening neigh, the animal went ballistic, raising to legs in the air and then he launched forward and flung the man on his back off. The hooded man came flying off the horse with a thud that surprised even Roberts. His first impulse was to circle the man, who was now totally at his mercy with his own horse, then he drew his sword and slashed, first at the area above the man's knees and then his hand, this was to stop him from drawing his own sword or making any attempt to run. "You a
