Chapter 66Zora’s point of view We got home and I went to shower. I was done after a few minutes, and I wore shorts and a tank top. I sat on my bed and the thoughts of what happened today filled my mind, the way Derrick and I spoke, the nice places he took me to, and also the beautiful paintings and art we saw. I took out my phone and scrolled through the pictures we took. Derrick looked so handsome in them. Even the thoughts of when he wore his jacket on me, made me remember the night we were both stocked in that cold room. The way he talked about how he wanted to make me warmer also made me remember the night we were both intimate for the first time. I took pleasure during that sex and how he fucked me so hard. I would really want that again if I had the chance but I don't think that would happen. I picked up my phone again and watched his picture. I am certainly getting horny, I should hold myself. I was so bored and wasn't feeling sleepy at all, I should just go downstai
Chapter 67Zora’s point of view “Are we not going home?” Derrick asked and looked at me and I shook my head and smiled. “Let's go eat something,” I said and looked at him, he raised his brows slightly, still looking at me. “Alright.” He finally answered and looked outside the window. We finally got to the restaurant, a familiar place we'd eaten before. We got in and sat, we ordered what we wanted and a few minutes later we were served. I tried to make the us feel lively but Derrick wasn’t pulling that sand vibes back. We were done eating and ready to leave, Derrick called the waiter for the bill. “No, it is fine I’ll settle it,” I said and he looked up at me. “Why?” He asked as he laughed a little. I took out my debit card immediately and handed it to the waiter. “Zora you don’t have to…. Give her back her card.” Derrick disagreed and I frowned. “I suggested we come here so I should be the one footing the bills,” I said, still with a frown on my face. “You can't be with
Chapter 68Zora’s point of view We were done with dinner, and Derrick left for his room, he complained of a slight headache he was having, and just needed to rest a little. So I was left alone in the living room, I was so bored staying there so I went to the balcony to sit for a while. Ana and I video-chatted, and we talked for a long while to the point I was hoping Derrick wouldn't barge in and see me on a call with Derrick. Ariana will definitely call me mother when he steps in.I really wanted Derrick back but won't it be complicated? Accepting him back with so much to think about and a lot to say. I am not ready for it, please.We finally disconnected as we were done talking. The only thing that pains me right now is Austin. So ever since I traveled and left that house without taking Ana along he hasn't even visited her for once. Ana told me several times she calls him, it's either his busy or not in town or rather at work. She told me how she dislikes Austin now. I'm so wor
Chapter 69Zora’s point of view I didn’t realize I was smiling so much when he said that. “Alright then,” I said and looked out the window. He drove to most of the beautiful places I hadn’t seen before. To know the beauty of this city is always at night. We got to a place, where there were trees everywhere. How did Derrick know about these places? “Alright, let’s drop off here.” He uttered. “How come you knew about these places? When you never step out of the house except work.” I asked him and he laughed a little. “I have my ways of finding out, Zora.” He smiled. “You stay here.” He said and left the car, he walked to my door and opened it. I smiled and walked out of the car and he closed the door. “Let’s go.” He smiled and I nodded. We walked in and I noticed how everywhere was so dark. “Why is everywhere so dark?” I asked Derrick and he held my hand. “Should I make it brighter?” He asked and I furrowed my eyebrows. “How can you make it brighter?.” I asked him. “I will
Chapter 70Derrick’s Point Of View Zora took me to an eatery to have lunch. Although I was quite angry at her, that was so nice and smart of her because I was starving already. We were done eating, I was about to settle the bills but Zora disagreed, wanting to pay instead. She insisted to the point I couldn't stop her anymore, so I allowed her to pay. While heading to the car I couldn't hold it anymore so I asked her why she was doing all of this. She was so honest, she said to make me feel better and she was concerned because I didn't eat anything in the morning. That made me happy, at least she is concerned about me, even if I am rejected. We got home afterward. We were seated in the living room discussing though, talking about some random things and laughing at the funny part. We both sat on a different couch but we were still a little close. One thing I also learned about Zora is that she loves talking, especially when she is very comfortable with you and I love how she t
Chapter 71Derrick’s point of view “She will call you back, okay? She is busy at work now.” I said to Ariana. “Okay,” she replied and I hung up. Zora hid this from me? Why? Why would she? I know what I did in the past was horrible but that doesn't mean she has to hide something like this from me. I was so annoyed. This means she never got rid of that pregnancy, she struggled alone with that child. Ariana, Ariana is my child. My sweet little Angel, now I know the reason why I couldn't stop getting attached to that little girl. I could remember how I wished I was Ariana’s dad not knowing she was really my child, my daughter. Zora, why would you be so selfish? She returned and I wasn't happy at all. “What's wrong?” She asked me as she walked closer. “How could you do this to me, Zora?” After all these years of hoping for a child not knowing I have one. How painful is this!“What do you mean?” She asked, I tried to hold back my tears, after all these years. I didn't even watch
Chapter 72Derrick's point of view The next day I left for work, immediately I got to work, and my staff members welcomed me back as I went in. I went over to Lee’s office. I'd like to go to my office last. “Mr Derrick, welcome back man.” Lee and I shook hands and finally sat. We talked about a few things that were work-related, and I also told him about the things Zora and I worked on during our stay there. “Okay let's leave that aside for now, so what about Zora, so any news about you both?” Lee is always eager to hear. “Nothing is going on between us, even when you thought we were getting close, that closeness is over,” I revealed to him and he frowned. “What are you talking about?” He asked me and I laughed softly. “I have a child with Zora, she has been hiding her away from me for all these years.” He looked at me with so much surprise on his face as I spoke up to him.“What are you saying, Derrick?” He looked extremely shocked. Immediately my mind flashed back to when sh
Chapter 73Zora’s point of view. Immediately he said that I gasped, how did he know? Where did he find out? Who told Derrick Ariana is my daughter? “I need an answer from you Zora!” He shouted, calling me back to reality. “Why have you been keeping my daughter away from me all these years?!” He added he looked so angry.He spoke like I was the one who deliberately left when he wanted me to leave for a long time. I reminded him of how he rejected Ariana, right from when she was unborn and his ranting voice was calm. I advised him never to come close to Ariana and even if she doesn’t know him yet, I told him how she hates him and never wants to see him. I walked away, I should take a cab back home, surprisingly he came after me and took me home. I went to my room immediately after we got home. How did he find out about this? I have always kept this a secret from him, how did it just get so open to him, who must have told him that?Is it Sophia? That isn’t possible. I can’t even
