When Dreams Are Made Better off for nothing
Chapter 20Unlike many men, spending the night with his soon to be bride was not something Derek looked forward to or even enjoyed. Last night had been nothing short of hell for him, he was too pissed to even partake in any of the parties that were going on around the house. His men were jubilating and joining in on the celebrations, many even stopped by to congratulate him on his betrothal and soon to hold marriage.Anger and frustration. That was the only feelings that surged through his body as he listened to the chattering going on and on about him and his ebony bride. Involuntarily, Derek's mind wandered back to Nancy, she had come into his life uninvited and occupied everything; his life and his thoughts. Somehow, Derek found that he could not keep his thoughts straight without thinking about the woman, the beginning of his sorrows.She was nothing like he had seen before, feisty and fiery as hell herself. With her foul temper and sharp mouth, she was going to drive him crazy i

Chapter 21Blind rage. It filled Nancy's spirit like a terrible ailment that needed a cure, yet that cure was not forthcoming, not now, not anytime soon. Nancy stood there staring after Derek, the man that was supposed to be her husband in a few hours. He intended to treat her like a piece of trash? He saw her like filth, for something she knew absolutely nothing of, how did she get here? Whoever told him she wanted to be married to him? He was insufferable enough, his proud self and arrogance. She had only met him last night and he was already causing her too much trouble. First, it was her damn thought that would go anywhere away from him, try as she could to divert it and now he was standing before his father and all family and his men, rejecting her openly like a worthless piece of shit. Nancy felt her breathing hitch as she stared after him, his mother chose that time to run towards her in what Nancy considered a feigned worry."Lydia darling. How are you? Pay no mind to Derek,

chapter 22Nancy could barely sleep that night, and so when she opened her eyes and saw the morning sun sipping in through the window, she was extremely glad. Before she could sit up, three maids were beside her, each with different items of body adornments. One had two big ball gowns- no, wedding gowns both white and decorated with diamonds and silver linings, both richly pleated and flowing down to the ground even as the maid held them high above her head in both hands. Another maid had a bowl of jewelry in hand and another bowl containing what appeared to be beauty kits. The other one had two different pairs of shoes with her, ones she had never seen in her entire existence. Nancy could only watch in fascination as they all waited patiently for her. She did not know when a gasp escaped her lips, the maids smiled immediately. "Good morning My Lady" They all chorused simultaneously. "Good morning." "Lady Marylyn ordered us to prepare you, My Lady." The first girl said sweetly. "P

Chapter 23Derek's eyes were drawn to the vision in white walking towards him on the aisle. He could not believe for a second that this was the venomous woman he had spoken with just yesterday. He had known she was beautiful, but somehow, in this wedding gown, she looked exquisite. He was almost tempted to smile up at her as her father led her towards him, hand in hand. Even the congregation were silent, everyone watched the bride and some even passed glances between the bride and groom to see the groom's reaction to his beautiful wife. At the feel of Harvey's elbow being pressed against his ribs, Derek managed to smile up at his approaching bride. He had never seen a black bride in a wedding gown before but today he was not only seeing but he was getting married to one. She had said she would try to stop this, that she only needed to meet and talk to her parents, and here, here she was, being led by her father to the alter. What had happened? Had the conversation not gone as planned?

Chapter 24Nancy was too withdrawn from the activities to actually pay attention to whatever was going on, she spent the remaining day of the wedding beside Derek in the large parlor of his parents house where plenty of guests and family gathered to drink and merry while he went on to join the men in their feast. They would move to their own house by morning of the next day, but for now, the feast had to go on here.The celebration feast that followed was a mockery as far as Nancy was concerned. She had nothing to celebrate, and neither did Derek, yet they sat through it, side by side, enduring the good natured jests and crudities that typically accompanied a wedding. In fact, everyone was enjoying themselves, except the newly married couple. Even Lydia's family was in high spirits, which Nancy found rather disgusting, since she had come to the conclusion that they all cared less for their daughter to actually find out what was going on with her. It was the atmosphere, she supposed, a

Chapter 25Nancy dumped the heavy gown on the bed after trying hard to gather it off the floor. She turned to see Derek still staring at her, she was tempted to smack him in the face so he would look away but she changed her mind and went into the bathroom instead. Since the whole house was busy and everyone expected that the newlyweds were probably having a nice time together, Nancy decided not to disturb the maids either. She filled the bath tub with water and sank inside it, the cold water was refreshing. It helped to relax her mind. Here, her thoughts drifted to the small village stream that she was used to swimming in back in her own village. She would play with Mmabong there as a child, sometimes with other children and then they would return home to a delicious meal likely prepared by her friend's mother. Nancy smiled at the thought, those were memories, memories that will never replay itself.She was now married herself and God help her, she might even become a mother someday.

Chapter 26Derek did not go far, he stood outside the door contemplating, his thoughts were in disarray. Where was he to go? Everyone expected that he would be with his wife, if they saw him outside by chance they would likely drag him back to the room. Not even his best friend, Harvey, would be willing to help. Derek guessed correctly that he would probably be in one corner, having fun with his favorite slave.What had he done? Had he not tried to kiss her? He had tried to punish her, to vent out part of this anger and frustration on her. But he had ended up enjoying himself. That kiss, that kiss. He had been stupid enough to try to get himself drunk, in the hope that he would be able to sleep and forget about his curvy ebony bride who was going to sleep beside him on that bed. And thanks to his stupid resolve and this crazy situation he was in, he had sworn not to touch her- he had promised. But what did he do when he found out he couldn't keep to that promise? He had tried- to vent

Chapter 27She stood in the master bedroom staring after the bed with a satisfied smile. The house was beautiful, big, and this new master was indeed rich. She had gathered he was the first son of his family, the heir. He was her type of man and she would find immense pleasure making him hers. This bed, she thought as she ran her hand through the soft bed linens, it would be hers too, just soon. Her name was Naya. She had been stolen from her village when she was just five years old and ever since then, she has been sold from port to port as a slave. Her people were horse breeders not warriors so they hadn't stood a chance against the men that raided and decimated her village, and she was not the only girl to be carried off by the men who had raided them. She had been sold the next morning herself, and had served several owners before the last one died and she ended up in the slave market again.She had learnt much in her thirteen years of slavery, learnt that she had powers that wen

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
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
