Derrick’s point of view “You said she did what?” I shouted, looking all shocked and surprised. “You can see for yourself.” He pointed to the tab. I couldn’t believe Mia would go this far to take such an amount of money without letting me know of it. What have I done to myself?Is it a crime to love someone?“When did she take this amount of money I didn’t know of?” I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, that is a very huge amount of money. “That is what baffles me the most .” Lee answered. The money I give her isn’t enough, now this?What has coming over this woman? “Lee, you need to find out.” I said to him and he nodded. “I’ll see you soon, man.” He said and left. My elbow was on my desk, supporting my head. Mia has gone far this time. After work I went back home and luckily she was at home. “Welcome back home, baby.” She came to me and took my bag from my hand. “Mia, did you take 1 million dollars from the company’s account? Was it because I gave you access to it before a
Derrick’s point of view I left the house looking so pissed and angry, I am so tired of living like this. How I wish we were just like how people crammed us on social media. People think we are the best couples but I truly do not wish them this kind of relationship. Why will I leave my house every fucking day with so much rage and I go to bed at night with so much anger. Mia is a pain in the neck and I am honestly tired of everything, I can’t keep up like this anymore. When we weren’t married yet, I always pictured how my night will be so peaceful when she is by my side and how I will have a happy home but now all I see is just the opposite. Eight years of marriage with Mia and still yet no kids, not even one. I’m honestly so tired. I honestly don’t know what to do anymore. I got to my office and let out a big sigh as I sat on my chair. I looked so exhausted already. During lunch time Lee and I were having lunch in my office. I explained everything to him and how Mia and I hav
Derrick’s point of view I am doomed, I don’t know how to go about this situation now. I just kept on rambling about in my office, my mind is long gone, thinking of how to get the money back. “You need to calm yourself down, Derrick, we would find a way to sort things out.” Lee encouraged me but my head was blocked honestly, I don’t know what to think of or what to do anymore. “What about your wife, what did she say yesterday?” Lee asked and I turned to look at him. “Mia, has finished my company, she has drained my company, she told me she has used up all the money she took yesterday and I kept on imagining how that kind of amount would just vanish like that.” I don’t know what to say anymore, the air conditioner was on but I still kept on sweating profusely. “You need to sue that woman and make her talk about where she kept that money.” Lee suggested. “How can I sue my pregnant wife, what will people say? Lee, think of it!” “Then your company will be sued in court so which one i
Derrick’s point of view I watched her as she got into a car and drove away. I regret betterly, I shouldn’t have caused Zora pain, she deserved more love. I stood up from where I sat and walked into my car and the driver started the engine and drove off. I finally got home. “Derrick, we need to talk.” Mia walked up to me and I scowled at her with everything in me. If only she didn’t come back to my life at least I wouldn’t have hated Zora so much, all of this wouldn’t have happened. “I don’t have anything to say to you, just get out of my way.” I said trying to walk away and she held my arm tightly. “What’s with all this attitude you have been pulling lately?” I forcefully took my hands away, trying to hold my anger from superseding. “If you don’t want me worse than this, just avoid me!” My voice was low but stern enough for her to step back. And I walked into my room afterwards. I changed up and went to shower, I was so exhausted, I didn’t waste a lot of time. I stepped out
Zora point of view “Give them a reply, let’s see what they got, if it’s something I don’t like, then we won’t go on with the deal. Okay?” I said to her with a smiling face and she nodded, looking at me strangely. “But ma’am, it’s the Ricks Company.” She said with her eyes wide open. “I know, Sophia.” I laughed, “send them a reply, we should hold the meeting tomorrow.” I added and she nodded and left. Whatever happens, happens. I have gotten over him, I am doing this to make my company grow further, that’s all. Later that day I went back home and Austin came over. “Hey beautiful.” He said as he walked in and saw me in the living room and sat on the couch I sat. “Hey handsome.” I replied and we both laughed a little. “So how are you? How was today’s work?” He asked all at once. “I'm all good and today’s work was good, I think I summoned the courage to do what I never thought of doing.” I answered and he scrunched up his eyebrows. “I hope it wasn’t stressful?” He questioned im
Derrick’s point of viewWe sat and waited for the CEO to arrive and some moments later a lady walked in. Is she the one? Isn’t this Zora? Don’t tell me she is the CEO of this company. She introduced herself to Lee and as the CEO of Aria Empire. I was so shocked. Zora looked so elegant and bold, she looked so different. How did she manage to build such an empire in just eight years? Indeed she is such a strong woman. She walked up to me and introduced herself, like she didn’t know who I was. “Zora?” I whispered her name but still she acted like she was just seeing me for the first time. She looked so straight up and no single smile left her lips, she was so confident as she talked and walked back to her seat. Lee began to explain some business ideas to her but I couldn’t even pay attention to it. My mind wasn’t still on the right track and all my attention was still on Zora. I still can’t believe she is the one.There are so many questions I’d like both of us to talk about, I d
Zora’s point of view I just have to act normal. I said to myself as he walked in. “Mrs Zora, do you mind if we talk for a few minutes?” He asked politely and his voice was so calm. “Of course not, seat.” I replied, I want to know what he wants to say. He sat and looked up at my face. He wanted to speak when I cut him off by telling him that whatever he wants to talk about should be strictly on business talks and that’s it. To avoid any discussion that would get him to know about Ana. He clarified to me by saying it was nothing more than a business talk and I gave him a listening ear. He talked about how his company is gradually crumbling and how he really needs my help. Hearing about his company issue made me feel bad because I know what took Derrick to build up the company that way. And after that, he decided to share the money 60% and 40%, that was when I realized that he really needs my help. But what must have made his company run down like this? But I wasn’t so interes
Zora’s point of view The next day I drove to work. I left very early due to the accumulated work I left behind. Ariana’s school was on holiday now due to the festive season and Christmas was fast approaching too. So we were all getting prepared for it. I arrived at my office and attended to most of the workload piled on my desk first before doing any other thing. After lunch, Sophia came into my office to inform me that Derrick and most of his staff had arrived. And I was also getting prepared for that too. “Alright I will be there shortly.” She left afterwards and I arranged the file I’ll be needing there and left my office.I got to the hall door, took a deep breath and walked in. I hope everything goes out as planned. We all greeted, most of my workers were present there also. And Derrick greeted me with so many smiles on his face and I reciprocated but mine wasn’t as much as his. We started and decided on how the product will be like and how much the data will cost. A
