All Chapters of Discovery (Revisioned): Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Derek and Liz are watching us intently. I turn and grab Derek’s hand. I’m so furious and he can see it in my face. When I grab his hand, he flinches. I’m too upset with Meril for sleeping with Liz and his mistake to care why Derek flinched. I have to fix my mistake and seeing my father's handwriting made it much more important. I let go of his hand, feeling frustrated and desperate. Before I make it to the machine, Derek grabs a hold of my waist. "Wait, Baby Doll! Not like this. Calm down, look at me." He whispered while into my neck.

Wow, my head is pounding. What the heck happened? For that matter, where am I? With great reluctance, I open my eyes. I’m lying in a cell. Oh, great! Was my whole rescue a dream? My breath hitches. I can feel the tears spill over my eyes as I think about the wonderful dream that I had. Where I met a handsome, genuine man, and started developing real feelings for him. I heard a shuffle and looked up, wiping my eyes, afraid to find out who was with me. That's when I spot him, Derek, and he’s in chains with fresh cuts and bruises."What happened?" I ask, my voice raspy."Don't say anything, Baby Doll." He whispers back."No, I want to know what's going on?" I insist.

He’s looking at the guard but, when he feels me shift, he meets my eyes for a second and then goes back to staring at the body. I grab his chin and pull it toward me, but he won’t meet my eyes. Okay strange change in attitude. 

I cry until I cry myself to sleep. I hear a sound that wakes me up. I open my eyes just when one of the guards bring me some food and water. Again, they do not bring any for Derek."Is he going to make me watch him starve to death?" I ask."King Joseph wishes for you to remain well.” He hesitates, deciding whether he should tell me his next information or not. He shrugs and lowers his voice. “If you are telling the truth, he plans to re-marry you in front of the country." the guard replies."And Derek?" I ask agitated."He is going to allow him to be your 'secret assistant' provided that he behaves. He is not to do anything to compris

Derek explains everything to Joseph and he listens like a school boy sitting in front of his favorite teacher. Watching the two of them is bittersweet. I walk behind them and watch with amusement as Derek gets more animated with every new question. He seems to be in his element. I’m glad that he is the one that explaining things. He is explaining the future better than I can even imagine. Joseph is so astonished with everything that is different in this world.   Like tall buildings that reach the clouds, no animals, and flying cars. It takes a few minutes for Derek to explain what a simple car is. He asks if we thought
