When Dreams Are Made Marital Duties
Chapter 29Nancy sat across the dining from Derek, picking moodily at her food, occasionally she would pass him furious looks which he barely noticed because he was so intent on his meal. After trying fruitlessly to eat, she dropped the spoon and slumped back in her seat, staring up at the ceiling. The dinner was delicious, having been prepared by Rosey herself on Nancy's instruction. But today, Nancy's mood was so foul that she could barely get a bite past her mouth. Derek on the other hand was in a much better mood, he hated happily and even hummed to a tuneless song. He shook his head to the rhythm occasionally and did not even spare Nancy a glance. Her temper was boiling, even when she hit the cutlery noisily on the plate, he did not look her way. He merely shook his head and continued eating noisily. Why wouldn't he be happy? Nancy thought. For one week since they moved into this house, he had left her confined in this house everyday while he go out and return only in the night
When Dreams Are Made This changes nothing
Chapter 30Nancy lay on her side facing the wall, her arms resting on the pillow under her face, one leg raised and bent at the knee, the other leg straight. She lay naked, with just the bedspread covering only part of her feet, as she had been before she fell asleep with Derek lying beside her. She tried to pull away from his grip but was pulled back by Derek who circled his hands about her waist protectively, leaving her hips and legs completely bare.She lay perfectly still and managed to keep her breathing even like she was still asleep. Derek's chest was pressed against her back, the warmth of his body seeping through her own body. His arm rested on her waist tightly, one hand that went under her side was squeezed between her breasts, gently teasing one. Whether he was awake or not, Nancy couldn't tell but she could feel his breath on her neck, hot and tickling, and his hand moved slowly downward, trailing over the taut curve of her belly, then on to her hip and down her thigh.W
When Dreams Are Made A personal whore
Chapter 31Nancy was awakened by a nightmare that had her panting and sweating profusely. It took her a while to understand her surroundings and a while longer for her eyes to adjust to the light that was seeping in through the balcony door. Derek was not in bed or anywhere around the room which explained why the balcony door was opened. She must have slept for long because even victory was not in her usual spot in the room, the cat had gotten used to Mitchelle, probably because the woman gave it sweet treats each time she visited the kitchen.Nancy made to snap up and go close the window and only then did she realize she was naked. The memory of last night came rushing back to her and her lips curved in an embarrassed smile, they had finally consummated this marriage, she thought. But that smile disappeared when Nancy recalled with who and how she had lost her virginity. The fact that he forced her to his bed and gave her pleasure did not change anything between them, she knew that, s
When Dreams Are Made A special delicacy
Chapter 32Derek was pacing the length of the room by the time Nancy came in. Nancy had taken time to make sure she walked slowly in hopes that Derek would take the bait and leave her be because her own anger was on edge and just waiting to explode. No sooner had she opened the bedroom door than Derek dragged her into the room, letting go of her hands immediately she was inside. Nancy had to grab something to stop herself from falling while Derek stood back and watched her staring back and forth until she got her balance. "What is this about?" Nancy asked angrily the moment she got her breath. "I should be asking you that stupid question! What was that show you pulled in front of the guests? And why the hell is it so difficult for you to listen to instructions? Huh, why?" Derek said heatedly."What the hell are you talking about? I was nearly raped by those bastards in your hall and you come in and pretend indifference yet you stand there and shout for me?" "Really? You should be t
When Dreams Are Made The Master's stable
Chapter 33Nancy spent the rest of the day inside the room after Mitchelle and Rosey changed the sheets and left. Apart from the pains that tugged at her heart from the fight she had had with Derek and the embarrassment she felt over her maids, now turned friends knowing that she had lost her virginity, she felt happy. It was indeed a good thing considering that she had been close to losing her mind earlier. Derek had not returned since he left the room after their altercation and Nancy was glad. She did not dare go outside the room, not like she was afraid of what he was going to do if he found that she had left like he had said, but she was afraid of falling into another death trap. It was enough that she had narrowly escaped being mauled by those mighty men, unlike Derek had said, she wanted nothing to draw attention to herself. She was comfortable with being invisible and she wanted it to remain that way for as long as possible, not wanting to give the servants anything to talk a
When Dreams Are Made Permission
Chapter 34Derek made his way back to the bedroom with abrooding anger eating at him every step of the way. He gently opened the door to the room and went inside, not wanting to arouse his sleeping burden of a wife. A soft reddish glow from the candle by the bedside aided him in finding his her and he moved to her. Nancy was fast asleep on bed, wrapped up in the and curled under an old woolen blanket. Her elastic hair was loose and matted on the pillow around her, its thick rich ebony curls glowing from the firelight.The illumination from her long black lashes formed by the candle light shaded her cheeks, and her parted lips were moist like dewy pink rose petals. The sight of her so sweet and innocent in sleep stirred Derek's blood. In that instant, he totally forgot that she was a she-devil whenever she was not sleeping. Feeling hot himself, and in a bid to distract himself from his disturbing thoughts, he went over and opened the balcony door. He took a minute to take in the fresh
When Dreams Are Made Is this death?
Chapter 35If Nancy had fainted from that first slap, it would have been preferable for her because the pain that stung her cheek this time extended to her head, causing her an instant headache. The pain shot through her entire body before the belt landed on her side, a scream escaped her mouth without her realizing it, her eyes were still blurry from the first two slaps he had dealt her. She contemplated on begging him the moment the leather belt went up in the air again but she discarded that thought immediately, he might as well kill her, for she would rather die than apologize to him. "This is how a master treats a disobedient slave, Coffee. The next time you try to disobey me, you will remember it." Derek said as he raised the belt the second time.The belt landed again. In a bid to protect her face from the blow, it landed straight on her hand. Another scream accompanied the thrashing sound, she did not try to stop it this time. The pain was hell, her hand felt on fire from tha
When Dreams Are Made Let the play begin
Chapter 36The rest of the night was a sleepless one for everyone that had heard the commotion. Derek's brother, Daniel was careful not to touch Nancy's back when he carried her to the bed. She was placed flat on her stomach, it was a good thing the belt had not gone around to her stomach or her breasts, only one stroke had wound round neck, leaving a now swollen welt that was streaked with the now purple coloured blood on the surface. Derek watched from a distance, she was passed out cold on the bed. If she was dead, he could not tell. But the satisfaction he expected to feel was not there, there was no joy or happiness at what he had just done either, he could almost feel the guilt drumming in his heart. His own heart beat was accelerating by the minute as he watched them fuss over her. Had he not said he wanted her dead? He had told her that, and now she was lying there… dead or unconscious. But he felt nothing close to satisfaction. He watched on as Lucille, Daniels wife began t

When Dreams Are Made The End. (Epilogue)
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

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

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
