Chapter 80Zora’s point of view “You mean Derrick drove that van?” I asked Austin with a shaky voice, still wanting to believe if he said no. “Yes, he drove the van to this place, I had to trace it down here and luckily I found you.” He answered me and my hands turned weak and my feet feeble. How can this be true?My mind flashed back to the time when Derrick called me to notify me to stay away from Austin because he had bad intentions. Did he do all of this so I could blame it on Austin?How foolish and so stupid of me to think he is a changed man, I may assume he has plans on ruining me again as he has returned. Who knows if he is still with Mia and they are both in this together? I cried to the point I couldn’t look for words to put together anymore. Derrick would never do a thing like this, why would he want to hurt me, to believe the fact that he did this was still so difficult. “I have always told you to stay clear from him, you know quite okay that he is your ex-husband
Chapter 81Zora’s point of view I left Derrick and went home. The fact that I almost fell for what he said scares me. I don't want to believe whatever he says anymore. I don't know how I drove back home but I got home safely. Ana and I were in the living room when Austin's call came in. “Zora, you left the house alone? Where did you go all alone today?” He asked as soon as I answered the call. His voice sounded so stiff. “I just wanted to ask Derrick a few questions so I decided to go see him,” I answered Austin and he sounded so angry on the phone.“But I told you not to go there, what if something happened to you again? You got hurt or something, you never listen.” This is the actual problem I have with Austin, he always shouts, he yells at me like I'm Ana's mate or something and it annoys me so much when he does that. “How did you know I left the house, did you place a camera in my house? Or you made one of my securities your spy?” I just had to ask because sometimes, things
Chapter 82Derrick’s point of view “Mr. Derrick I can’t allow that, as long as you are here there’s no way I can agree to that till you are free, or maybe all charges against you are dropped.” Detective Dave said and I understood the reason why, I’ll just have to depend on Collin and Lee now. “Alright, I’ll just have to hope Lee will help me out,” I said and he nodded and apologized. “I’ll try with what I can do also to help you out.” He assured me and I nodded. He left after a few minutes he came back. “Mrs Zora is here to see you.” The officer said and I was surprised, I didn’t expect her to come back here. “Alright,” I replied immediately, so she should come in. After a few minutes, she walked in. “Zora,” I called her name and let out a smile on my lips. Suddenly she asked me why I did that to her, I assumed she still believed I was the one. And I explained to her in the way I can, I really feel so bad at the fact that she doesn’t believe, rather she believes that criminal
Chapter 83Derrick’s point of view I was beaten up mercilessly, I fought to the power I could until I was struck down by a plank. “That's enough, take him outside, if he has to die, it should be outside my house, he shouldn't die in here.” I could hear Austin say.My eyes were closed, and the only movement in my body was my breath, I couldn't stand my feet, both my feet and hands were feeble. “Just dump him anywhere.” They lifted me and took me out of this room. They took me to a place, dumped me there, and drove away. I couldn't even move my legs, I managed to bring out my phone and luckily I saw Stacy’s call. I picked it up. “Stacy.” my voice was so down and broken. “Derrick, what's wrong? Where are you?” She noticed how I struggled to talk. I managed to tell her where I was and suddenly blacked out. I woke up and found myself in the hospital with a broken leg. “You're awake.” Stacy stood up and walked to me. “What about the others?” I asked her as she got close to me. “L
Chapter 84Zora’s point of view “We should plan our wedding? Why so sudden?” I asked him and he frowned a little. “Sudden? It's not Zora, if not for the little issues arising, we should have been married by now. I can't wait to have you and Ana as my own.” He said tucking my hair to the back of my ear. “I wasn't expecting that right now, can we just wait a little longer, maybe next year?” I didn't know the reason why but I wanted to think properly about getting involved in another marriage again. “Zora this is what ouss me off, we just started this year and now we should wait till next year? I thought you've always wanted this?” He looked so annoyed. With this strange character he has been portraying lately, will I be able to cope with it for a lifetime? “I know Austin but let's just take it easy, I'm not saying we won’t get married, I'm just saying we shouldn’t be talking about marriage now.”“Then when Zora, when do you think it's the right time to talk about it? I honestly do
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
