Labor

Chapter 91Long after they left, Nancy was still standing outside, staring at the empty space where the cart had stood just a few minutes ago. She felt like a heavyweight had been lifted off her shoulders, or a part of this at least. It was surprising just how much a little conversation could change things. And to think that Harvey was nothing like Derek, contrary to what they had thought. If she had not spoken up, Rosey would have gone on in silence, living in the assumption that Harvey didn't care for her or their children. She smiled again, recalling the proud smile that had registered on Harvey's face. Before they left, he had thanked her immensely and promised to do the right thing, which was to buy Rosey's freedom and properly wed her. What more could one ask for in life? She realized then that contrary to her own thoughts a little over a year ago, having Derek reciprocate her feelings and accepting their child was one of her biggest dreams now. But she also knew that that was

This Was It

Chapter 92Across the haze of bright sunlight filtering through the trees, Derek rode Night Walker like a wild beast through the path leading to his house. He was holding Nancy with one hand to steady her. He was holding her no, he was carrying her with one hand because she was sitting on his lap instead, he had taken the liberty to keep her that way to reduce the pains from his wild ride. She wanted to believe that this was a dream, that she was not about to experience one of the worst pains in her life, and yet here she was, taking a horse back ride towards the house of the same man who would give anything to have his hand around her neck. But the blinding pain wouldn't even let her think, this was a different kind of pain, a dull, nagging ache. Why didn't he just take her back to The Plains? Why did Daniel go ahead of them? Derek wanted her to suffer. He would haunt her dreams forever just to make her suffer. Dear God, the pain was real! She screamed, a sound she did not recognize

A Precious Gift

Chapter 93Derek stood in the open doorway to his room, feeling more helpless than he ever felt in his life. He had heard all that Nancy had said, and her fears had cut into him like a steel blade. Still, he could not blame her for thinking him so cruel. When had he ever shown her differently?Nancy's anguished cry shook him to his very soul. To think he had wanted to get as far away from her as he possibly could, to go away and never see her again. He had only gotten as far as before he was ready to turn back. He assumed Brenna would already be with her own people, and he came home simply to tell his father he was going to bring her back, that he had finally concluded that he could not live without her, regardless of how she felt about him.“Again, try, you are almost there!” Lauren said this time and squeezed Nancy’s hand. She nodded and took quick deep breaths, he saw her shut her eyes and heard the gut wrenching cry of agony again. This one was long and hard, each cry tearing thro

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

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

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

Proof?

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.

He had lost her before, and now that it seemed li

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

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
