Chapter 46Derrick’s point of view. The next day, on a Sunday I was seriously thinking of a way to tell Zora to testify in court. If only she would agree to do that, Mia would learn her lessons as to why not to harm anyone. Mia caused all this to happen and I won’t let her go till she gets punished, with the anger in me, if only I had seen Mia anywhere I would have beaten her with all the rage in me, I would have vented it up on her. When I was slowly calming down, I realized that I shouldn’t beat Mia, if I did that, the trial would be increased and they might also lock me behind bars for whatever I planned to do to Mia. But thank goodness I got calm even till now I haven't set my eyes on Mia. I decided to call Zora. “Hello, Derrick.” Her voice was cracked. Zora has cried enough. “Hey Zora, I know you might be so tired but can I come over to see you? There is something very important I need to talk to you about.” I spoke to her but she kept quiet for a while. “Do you want to
Chapter 47Zora’s point of viewIt's been three months since Derrick got divorced, we were kind of close now but he still doesn't know anything about Ana.I was in my office, going through a file when Sophia rushed into my office with the head of the financial unit “What's wrong?” I couldn't even tell what was wrong with Sophia. “The money, all the money in the company's account is gone.” She forced herself to speak up. “What!!” I think I misheard what she said, my body was trembling, and I rushed to my laptop to see it for myself. The three zeroes were bold, no single penny was left there in the account. I sat on my chair forcefully. “How did this happen?” I asked Sophia, hoping whatever I was seeing was not true and I was just dreaming. I should wake up from this silly dream, I pinched myself so hard. “Mrs Zora, there is no description, everything there is just blank.” Mr Wellman, the head of the financial unit said. Who could have done this to me, where do I even? Start fro
Chapter 48Zora’s point of view I finished with the work I was doing and headed to the coffee store where I’d meet Derrick. He hadn't arrived yet so I sat and waited for him. So many people were in the store today. Twenty minutes before he arrived, he walked to where I sat. I gulped as we were closer. I just hope this walks out though. I wasn’t so comfortable as there were lots of people here, I don't know if I'd be free to tell him what I want to say. “Can we like to go somewhere else?” He asked, I guess he wasn’t comfortable, and I think they were celebrating something there today which must be the reason for the crowd. We both walked outside. “Is it okay if I come over to your house, so we can talk?” I don’t know if that sounded awkward. “My house?” He looked surprised. “Of course, we can go.” He finally answered.“Alright you’ll head out and I’ll join you.” I smiled and nodded once and walked into my car and went into his. He drove away and I followed behind. We got to h
Chapter 49Derrick’s point of view. I got Zora’s call and she wanted to see me, there was something she wanted to discuss with me. So we decided to meet at the normal coffee shop. She went there before me and the place was so crowded. So I asked her if we could go somewhere else and she agreed. We went out of the coffee store. “Is it okay if I come over to your house so we can talk?” She asked and I was so surprised. I never thought Zora would want to come back to that house ever again. “My house?” I asked her again to be sure and she nodded saying yes. We finally got to the house. The moment Zora stepped into my house, I was sure she would remember everything that happened in the last nine years. The memories would surely flashback in. I asked her if she wanted to come inside and to my great surprise she said yes. And I let in. I noticed the change in her face. I wasn't happy with the fact that everything turned out that way. “Looking at this place brought back so many
Chapter 50Zora’s point of view We hid somewhere so she wouldn’t see us. The moment I saw Mia walking into a building that looked like an estate, my eyes widened. “Derrick!” I whispered and tapped him to see. “That's Mia.” He whispered. We watched her walk into a particular house. It was already so late and we were also exhausted, but we were glad we finally knew her place. “We've finally caught her, let's head back home Zora, we will continue tomorrow.” Derrick looks tired already and I do too. “Alright, we will come back here and arrest her red-handed.” I was so happy when we caught her, at least our hard work didn't go in vain today. Let's rest till morning and seal it up. Derrick and I left the place and went home. Mia has done enough, it's time to take her down, she has caused a lot of pain in my life and Derrick’s too. I sat on the couch feeling so exhausted. “I'll go wash up quickly and come back to prepare dinner, I am starving.” I groaned and dragged myself up. I w
Chapter 51Zora’s point of view He left the kitchen and a few minutes later he came out with a tray of food, he placed it in front of me. Smiles round my face I watched him walk in my direction. “This looks so mouth-watering,” I said as he dropped the tray on the dining table. “I hope you enjoy it.” He smiled and sat opposite me. “Mmm.” I raised my eyebrows as I tasted the waffles he prepared and it was so nice!I turned and looked at his smiling face. “I didn’t know you’re good at this.” I took a bite of the bacon and. “No, for breakfast you’ll be handling it till we leave.” I joked and he laughed. “this is so good!” I complimented his cooking. “I am glad you like it.” He said as he also took a bite of the waffles. We were done with breakfast. Derrick was on a call with the cops and after the call, he sent the address of Mia’s house and planned on meeting there. We got prepared and left. The coups were there before us but the atmosphere they were pulling wasn't so good so we
Chapter 52Derrick’s point of viewWhen I discovered Mia was missing, I was so agitated, if only I had known this would happen, I would have called the cops immediately. I Instructed the cops to make sure every road leading out of this city is tied up with security. I'll make sure I catch Mia before I leave this place, only if she is still in this country. Zora and I left on our way home we decided to stop at the mall and coincidentally we came across Mr Noah and surprisingly Zora knows him as well. I was surprised to see him at the mall by himself, but the place we were at there weren't many people there. We greeted him and we talked for a while.“Mr Derrick you have a very hardworking wife. Zora will give you peace.” Mr Noah said and laughed. I honestly really wished she was my wife again, she is indeed hard working and will surely give me peace. I couldn't disagree with him, I wouldn't because I'll try to win her back. He asked for our presence at the office and that he woul
Chapter 53Zora’s point of viewWhile discussing my life with Derrick I didn’t realize I was crying, this was the past I never want to remember anymore, it was a long gone buried and forgotten past that I never want to remember. Derrick pulled closer to me and cleaned my eyes, he noticed how hard I tried to hold back the tears. I looked up to his face, he looked so concerned and worried. “I will make sure you never go through such agony again, you deserve to be loved and cherished and I would really be glad if I am given the opportunity to have you back, I'd make sure I never let you sleep away from my hands again, never ever.” He whispered as he was so close to me. The words he said were the words I wanted to hear a long time ago, encouraging words. Words of affection.I smiled as he said that, I felt warm and satisfied. He leaned closer to me and kissed my lips, I was so shocked because I wasn't expecting it and I found myself not resisting. Zora what are you doing??I pulled o
