Derrick and Sheila arrived at the ball, immediately they stepped out of the car, cameras were on them. Derrick was already used to it but Sheila wasn't so she could only hide herself away from the camera. Thank God they had come with bodyguards which helped them with passing through the crowd.Sheila was overwhelmed with how beautifully the entire hall was decorated. This family must be very rich, no wonder Jenna was so proud and full of herself but Sheila didn't care. She had the man and that was something Jenna would never get.She and Derick were given VIP seats. Sheila was sure it wasn't Jenna who made the sitting arrangements, if it were she, Sheila was sure, she would make her sit outside if possible. Mean devil.Soon the ball started since all the important persons were already present.Mr Chris came out alongside his wife to make the welcome speech and the crowd gave applause.Sheila looked for Jenna but didn't see her among the
'That must be the reason why she took so long, ' Derrick thought."Okay, where is she?" he asked."She's in one of the guest's rooms upstairs. Come on, I can tell one of the maids to take you there" she said trying not to sound too desperate so he wouldn't be suspicious."It's fine, let's just go and see her," he said, standing up, even though it took all the strength in him to do, he still stood up anyways.He tried to walk but almost fell, Jenna quickly supported him but he jerked his arm out of her grasp."I'm okay, I can manage," he said, trailing behind her."If you say so."They walked on but when it was time to climb the stairs, Derrick didn't feel like he could go on.Jenna moved closer to him and whispered in his ears."It's not okay if you fall off the stairs, just lean on me a bit till we get to where we are going, people are watching. "Derrick looked around, p
"Yeah, he has been showing up lately, and he has been threatening me a lot too," Sheila said."And you said nothing about it all these while? Was that why you were like that on the day we met at the cafe?" Zoey asked."Yes. That was the first time he came, I didn't want to drag you into it and I didn't want Derrick to know about it, I didn't want him to know that I had been involved with such a loser. I was ashamed of it which was why I didn't say anything to either of you, but now all of that doesn't matter anymore, he never loved me like I thought he did" she sobbed."I think you are wrong about that, but keep going. When and where did you find Jenna and Mr Derrick?" Zoey asked suspiciously. All this was smelling like a setup to her."Well, he just gave me my phone back, he didn't hurt me or even tried to touch me. I went back into the hall, didn't find Derrick there, then I
Sheila sat close to Derrick, watching him as her mind flew back to everything that had taken place today.She couldn't believe Jenna would be that desperate, that she didn't even mind hurting Derrick just to get what she wanted, but then again she was also finding it difficult to believe that Jenna and Jordan actually knew each other and Jenna had used him to get to her.Now that she could think about it, perhaps Zoey was right, 'cause how in the world did Jordan know her house address, her phone number, and even the fact that she was in a relationship with Derrick? Jenna must have told him everything, that had to be it.She would make sure she got both of them arrested once Derrick was finally awake. Sheila promised, her thoughts boiling.Tired, she placed her head on the bed and slept off.Derrick opened his eyes and everything was blank for a minute. Slowly, his vision started clearing up, revealing his surroundings. He looked
"How dare you disgrace this family in such a manner" Chris shouted at her."But Dad, I didn't do anything, that bitch set me up. I did absolutely nothing wrong, why are you treating me like this?" Jenna screamed, tears streaming down her face. Her father had never treated her in such a way before, and if he was doing this now, it meant things had to be very bad on the outside. She really needed to do something about this situation."Oh please shut up, I know you've always liked that boy. Even if you were going to do such nonsense, couldn't you wait till another day?" he raged at her."Dad, it's all that bitch's fault. I had it all figured out, but she ruined everything" Jenna cried, hoping her dad would help her out since she was already caught."We need to flip this story somehow, we can't allow the public to keep having this idea about our family, my competitors will use this against me God dammit" Chris spat."How about w
Sheila tuned to the news channel only to see Chris holding a press conference, probably to tell another lie, as the one they used the last time wasn't getting the reaction they wanted from Derrick."As you can see that Derrick is not taking my family and me seriously, he probably thinks this is all a joke, but it's far from it, and we will prove to him that we are serious. We will therefore be holding a press conference tomorrow, you all should get ready, we will show you evidence of his crimes, and he will definitely face his punishment" Chris said, bowing his head. The conference was over and he returned inside the house."How did it go dad," Jenna asked, the moment he came inside."Very well. I'm very sure that he will come running once he sees this one.Sheila turned to Derrick as soon as the conference ended."No Derrick, we really need to do something about this one." She cautioned immediately."Yes and we will," Derr
"We will invite the doctor that has those reports at hand," he said, turning to invite someone behind him over. "Good morning ladies and gentlemen, my name is Dr Jim and I'm here to confirm the test results. These test results came directly from the lab this morning so you all can be rest assured that it has not been altered in any way" he said and brought out the test results."This result says the fingerprints and hand marks on Miss Jenna's body belong to Mr. Derrick Moore," he said, waving the test results in front of the cameras, so the reporters could confirm it. "Come on Sheila, it's time to go put an end to this charade, it's been going on for too long. Where's my phone?" he asked. "it's right here" Sheila showed it to him. "Okay, fine, bring it along with the speaker and those cables as well," he said and left the car. Sheila was about to follow him inside when she saw Jimmy and Zoey coming her way. "Great, you guys are here. Please let's go" she said and they followed h
"Mr. Derrick has a new girlfriend?" The reporters started to gossip among themselves. They couldn't wait to see who had stolen the heart of Mr. Derrick."Oh, girlfriend! This is your time" Zoey grinned excitedly."Come on stop it, Zoey" Sheila muttered even though she was just as excited as Zoey, even more so and at the same time scared.What if she wasn't the one he wanted to introduce? Sheila wasn't sure she would be able to compose herself and she tried her best not to look at Derrick 'cause her heart was beating so fast at the moment.Jenna stared at Derrick in horror. There was no way Derrick was doing this to her. She couldn't believe he wanted to introduce that slut as his girlfriend. No, she had better not be the one, she had better not.Derrick straightened where he stood, addressing the reporters, and headed to where Sheila was standing.Sheila's heart was beating so fast that it wanted to jump out of her chest an
