Naomi's POVChapter SevenI shut the door and rested on it. The only words ringing in my ears are, you are always in my dreams. How could he say that to me? How could he try to make me feel as if I was important to him? Like he missed me? I knew what he was trying to do. He was trying to play games to get me back in his bed, treat me like trash and dispose of me whenever he was tired of having me. But, I won't give him the satisfaction of that. Dean moved closer to me. "Mummy, are you okay?'I nodded, pulling him closer to me. He hugged me quietly and I thank God he was in my life. He was the only thing I got out of my marriage to Derrick that gives me joy and that was why I am hiding him from anyone that would see the resemblance he had with the Boone. Honestly, I am surprised Derrick was unable to identify him soon but it's all for my benefit. After soaking him in for a few minutes, Dean got tired of hugging me, so he released himself from me. " Mummy, should we call Emily?"He di
Chapter Eight Derrick's POV"What do you think children like?"Diana paused the movie she was watching on Netflix to stare at me. She stared too long that I had no option but to ask her what was wrong. "What did you just ask me?"I sighed, she knew I hate repeating myself and that was exactly what she wanted me to do. Repeat what I just said. If it wasn't so important to me, I would have ignored her to do something else but I needed to know this so that I can capture Naomi's son's heart. Then I can finally capture Naomi's heart too, which is the only thing I can think of. It's not that I love her, I am just addicted to her maybe because we have once been married. All I know was I want her back and I was going to do everything I can to have her back even if I have to repeat myself to my dumb sister. "I said, what do you think children like?" this time I glared at her indicating that I won't repeat myself anymore. She smiled, "Why do you want to know that? Why do you think I w
Naomi's POV"Who are you?" Emily's voice was loud. I ran out of my study room to the door. Dean was hot behind me trying to be the man of the house. I found it funny and cute whenever he acts that way. "What's wrong Emily?" Her back was turned to me and she was blocking whoever was at the other side of the door. The way she placed her on her hips showed that she was having a heated argument with whoever it was at the other side of the door. It was Dean that finally got her attention. She allowed Dean to stand beside her while ignoring my question. That did nothing but raise my curiosity. Who can be annoying Emily already on her first day?"What are you doing in our house?" I heard Dean's question and I know that I already knew who was by the door. I smiled. My avengers were fighting for me. "Can I come in first and where is Naomi? I would prefer speaking to her than to some stranger." Derrick's voice was harsh. I could easily tell that he was angry but for some reason. That ma
Derrick's POV"Let's get married."Naomi looked shocked at first but then she started laughing. She laughed until she had to support herself with the Sofa. I had no idea what was so funny to make her laugh so hard but I was serious. So I waited for her to finish laughing, so we can have a serious conversation. After a while, she finally seemed tired of laughing. She sat on the sofa and glared at me. "Are you kidding me right now?" I shook my head."Why would I want to marry you again? Why would I want to put myself in such misery again?"What misery? I know we didn't marry for love like a lot of couples but our relationship was that of mutual understanding. I know my grandmother had forced her to marry me or maybe bought her to marry me but we were having fun. I mean the sex was so good. "What misery? We were happy together. You have all that you wanted. There were maids at your beck and call. They were servants. All you just do is stay indoors to satisfy your husband. A lot of wo
Naomi's POVMarry him again. Marry him AGAIN!That had to be the worst joke I have ever heard. The first time was a mistake and there was no way I will ever be willing to be in a relationship with Derrick again. Even if I was forced again. I won't marry him. Emily was silent beside me. I guess she knew what was going on in my head. "What do you guys do for fun here?" She said with a forced smile. "Dean! Dean!"Soon, Dean's small feet sound was heard in the house. I tried getting my mind off Derrick's impromptu proposal and focused on Dean that was pouting in front of me. "Will you go out?"He nodded. "What about mummy? Is she going too?"He looks expectedly at me. The last thing I wanted at that moment was to go out. I just want to go inside, curl on my bed and watch a movie or read a novel. Something that would take me away from the reality I was living. Dean knew I was mostly indoors whenever he went out with Emily. Yet, he gave me his puppy look. My favourite one. The one I a
Naomi's POVDesmond was feeling himself. He took us to a private spot and ordered what he referred to as the best delicacy in town. I was not touched or buttered up. I just want to go home and have a lovely night; which consists of having junk food and probably a nice erotic novel in my lap. I have successfully exhausted my going-out bundle. Emily on the other hand was having fun. She smiled at everything Desmond did and made a show of dragging me into their conversation. Even when he was saying what I considered boring, she laughed too hard, clutching her stomach as if she was in pain from laughing a lot. I know all of her tricks and I wasn't moved at that moment. She was trying to set me up with this stranger. Someone we just met, not up to two hours. I wasn't that desperate for a man in my life. The things in front of Dean were the only thing he cares for at that moment. He was out of our world and focusing mainly on the things he had plans to finish from the way he was demolishi
Derrick’s POVAssociating with others was definitely the last thing on my mind. I had thought it was an opportunity for me to rid my mind of Naomi but with the way, I keep thinking about how. I can clearly say it was futile. There was no need to hide it, everything about the party was boring. I was not feeling too good about listening to what anyone had to say. I just wanted to go home or maybe see Naomi.It looked as if I have been infected with a virus known as Naomi’s virus.“Do you need more drinks, dear?” Sharon’s voice brought me out of my thoughts. The night was definitely not going my way. When I asked my assistant to call Sharon as my escort. I thought she would be able to steer my thought away from Naomi a bit. In Naomi’s absence, the only woman whose arm I had found little comfort in was Sharon’s but now it felt like every other lady’s arm to me. “I think I am okay.”“Are you sure?” She was trying to sit on my legs now. If it was any other day, I would have gladl
Naomi’s POVIt took us so long to finally escape the clutches of Desmond. He was such a charmer that he had both Emily and Dean fall for him in a short time. I on the other hand was the tough nut to crack. I couldn’t believe Emily would go to that extent to find a man for me.“Are you guys having fun?” he asked for the fifth time. It was as if he was making sure to be polite and having this perfect unplanned date. I could start listing all the things we have done today after dinner. We went horse riding. Dean had giggled all through that and Desmond had ridden the same horse with him claiming it was men’s moment. Dean smiled, talked, and laughed with him the way he did with Emily as if they had known each other for a long time. We build a sand castle, and if I was been honest with myself that was the part I had fun most. I had forgotten about my plans to go back home and rest. We build four castles – one for each of us, and we all assisted Dean in building his. I called min
