Chapter 85Zora’s point of view I couldn’t stand properly on my feet. I need to leave here before I get caught. I walked out hurriedly, as tears flowed down my eyes continuously till I got into the car. I cleaned the tears in my eyes forcefully. How dare he? How dare Austin make me look like a fool? He made me blame Derrick for all he didn’t commit, I’m so stupid! I made Derrick go through a lot, accused him of what he never committed, and rather trusted the one who was planning on ruining my life. What kind of life is this? I cried out so horribly, I was so shattered. I hate myself for this, I should have just trusted Derrick one more time. Ana, Ana trusted him, why didn't I? Austin has gone too far, he has done enough, and he would have to leave my life. Never did I believe that Austin would go this far to ruin my life and not just my life but also the life of Derrick. Austin really shouldn't have done this to me. After crying for a while I cleaned my face properly and ma
Chapter 86Derrick’s point of view I was so surprised when Ana told me her mother was actually getting married soon, I was so shocked. “How did you know about this?” I needed to be sure if she really knew what she said. “Mummy told me about it, she told me yesterday.” She answered and immediately that got me so worried about Zora. I need to hurry up and expose that bastard before he takes Zora as his wife. “Dad, is there a way you can stop mummy from getting married to Austin?” She asked and I let out a little smile on my face, so she wouldn’t look worried. “You don't have to worry, everything will be fine, okay?” I said to her and rubbed her cheek and she smiled and nodded. Immediately my phone chimed and I took it out of my pocket and it was Stacy calling. “Are you still with Ana?” She asked and I looked at Ana and said. “Yeah, what's the problem?” And looked away. “Well, her mother is here to see you, she has been waiting for too long, and Collin and I are going off to ch
Chapter 87Derrick’s point of view “I heard you were getting married to him,” I said and she looked shocked, like how come I knew about it. “Who told you?” She suddenly asked. “I went to Ariana’s school to see her and she told me about it,” I answered her. “You are just coming back from there?” She asked and I nodded. “Well, Austin suddenly wanted a wedding and we were going to plan that before I heard of his mischievous behavior so I don’t think I’ll be getting married to that kind of a man.” She looked angry while she spoke and I laughed a little. I am so glad she has finally seen the truth all by herself. “Don’t tell him about anything for now, just pretend like you never heard anything,” I said and she frowned, looking at me. “Why should I do that?” She finally asked. “Let’s play him with his own games, don’t tell him yet, and aside from that, he might think of harming you, we need to find solid evidence to bring him down,” I explained to her and she nodded slowly like sh
Chapter 88Derrick’s point of view Lee contacted him back and he came over to my office. “Mr. Joe, if this is a trick or something, I'll make sure you rot in jail,” I spoke to him so plainly, he should not mess around with me. “Mr Derrick, I understand the reason why you wouldn't forgive me easily. This is the little I can do to clear my mind.” He spoke and I decided to give him another chance. “Okay, so can you clearly remember the lady’s face?” I asked and he nodded quickly. “Of course I can, she has been living there for so long.” He said and I had no doubt that it would be Mia.“Is it this lady in this picture?” I showed him a picture of Mia and immediately his eyebrows went up. “Yes, she is the one, how did you know such a deceitful woman?” He asked and I laughed a little. Indeed she is deceitful. “So can you take me to that place to say you saw her?” I asked him. I'll do whatever it takes to get my hands on Mia. “It will be so difficult to get in there, the place is so
Chapter 89Derrick’s point of view “Why do I get this familiar smell from you?” She sniffed through me and my heart couldn't stop but raced so fast. I didn't want to speak because she might recognize my voice. “Mia! What are you doing?” I looked up and saw Austin, he was beside her and suddenly she let go of my shirt and asked me to leave. I left as quickly as I could. That was so close. I managed to inform Collin how things were around the place and he also placed a camera on me so he could also take a view around the place. Luckily he managed to hack through the cameras. Stacy and I left after gaining so many strategies to use on how to get into the place without the security or cameras finding out. We got home and listed out how the plan would go about and it was a blast, the next few days Mia would be going down. I told Zora about it and she urged me to be careful. The next day I went over to the place, I managed to get in and barged into her office, I saw the shock in h
Chapter 90Zora’s point of view After telling Derrick about Austin and how sorry I was to him, the way I spoke rudely to him, and never believing in him. I was so glad that Derrick forgave me, he was happy that I had finally realized the truth and the wicked intentions Austin had against Ana and me. I couldn't stop my tears from falling, I felt so broken and betrayed, that was actually the human I was planning on getting married to. Thank goodness I saw this earlier, I can't imagine what would have happened. Derrick comforted me and cleaned my tears, he promised to take care of Ana and me, I was quite glad that I had Derrick back in my life. I don't know how I'd react probably when Derrick didn't come back and I found out Austin did this to me, because I was ready to love him and be so good to him, that's if he accepts Ana and me as his own. I'm just so glad Derrick came back he would be the only one who would love Ana enough. Derrick told me not to cry and said he had better p
Chapter 91Zora’s point of view “Zora, what are you saying? I love you both so much and I want to be a good husband to you and a good father to Ana.” He spoke like he meant whatever he said, which I know is totally a lie. “It's fine, I feel better hearing that.” I lied and formed a smile and he hugged me. “I want the best for us Zora, please I want you to stay away from Derrick, I don't want him to harm you or Ana, try to avoid him in any way you can, okay?” He spoke slowly with a feathery voice and he rubbed my hair slowly as he spoke. I pulled out of the hug and just nodded. “You also need to be careful, your life might also be in danger,” I said to him and he furrowed. “Mine isn't so important, you and Ana’s life is, so try to watch out, if anything happens don't forget to call me.” He spoke and I nodded once. “And about Ana, I asked Mary about her and she told me Ana is sleeping, it seems like she has been detouring away from me these past few days.” He uttered, looking a l
Chapter 92Zora’s point of view Derrick left after having dinner with Ana and me. I noticed how Ana looked so happy around him, more than Austin and I'm so glad about it. “Mummy I'd be the happiest if Daddy comes to stay with us, we will finally be complete,” Ana said as Derrick drove out, her attention was still built on Derrick’s car as she spoke with so much plaster of smile on her face. “He can't stay with us, Ana.” I laughed and shook my head as we walked in. “Why can’t he?” Ana asked with a frown face. “You'll know soon, okay.” I kissed her cheek as we sat on the couch. Surprisingly she didn't pester me much about the question, after a while she slept off and I took her to her room and laid her properly on the bed. The next day I got a call from Austin. “Hey babe, good morning.” He sounded calm and immediately I wondered what he wanted to say. Whenever he sounds that way, it’s either he has a favor to ask or something else that would be of benefit to him. “Hey, is every
