Chapter 38Derrick’s point of view “But we ran the DNA tests and the doctor confirmed that I am the father of the child,” I said and he immediately bobbed his head. “Mia was the one who took you to that particular hospital right?” He asked and that is true, she was the one who took me to the hospital herself for the tests.“You can just take her unaware, take her to the hospital, and make sure you don’t leave her…. Who knows, maybe she bribed the doctors to tell you that.” He shrugged his shoulders while speaking, and still, he was making a lot of sense “I have also thought about that but I wasn't so sure Mia would do such a thing,” I answered. “There is absolutely nothing Mia can’t do, you need to find out quickly, to be on a safer side.” He suggested and I shook my head slowly. Lee left after a work emergency arose. I am so glad that my company is finally standing properly with the help of Zora. No matter how angry she is about me, I am still super happy and proud of her. That
Chapter 39Derrick’s point of view We left and I was hoping for the result to come out soon. Mia looked so angry, we actually didn’t say a word till we got to a particular area. “Drop me here, I'll be fine.” She uttered, looking outside the window. “Why? I'll drop you at home”“Please, Derrick, I need fresh air, I'll call the guards to come to pick me up later.” she wasn't in a good mood and I didn't want any arguments as to why she wanted to come down here.“Alright, if that's what you want.” I said and pulled over. I dropped her off and drove away. What if she is really carrying my child or did I go too hard on her? Mia makes it hard to believe. I went straight to the office. Lee came into my office shortly. We had a meeting with a company. I was not so ready yet, so many things on my mind. I left my office to attend to them properly and when the meeting was finally done. I went back to my office and Lee joined me in. I let out a deep breath as I sat on my couch in the off
Chapter 40Derrick’s point of view Immediately the doctor said that I stepped back in disbelief. “So doctor are you saying, she isn't pregnant no miscarrage no nothing?” I still couldn't believe it. “There is no such thing like that in your wife's stomach, I am sorry Mr Derrick.” The doctor patted my shoulder and left. I walked back slowly and sat on the chair. Mia did this? Mia lied to me? Why would she have done that? I had high hopes for this pregnancy, even if I didn't love Mia, I was ready to keep her and the child and she did this to me? Why?I felt so much pain. I wasn't expecting her to go this far. Mia has crossed the line this time, she has done enough, and she has deceived me for over three months now. I looked like a joke to her. How ludicrous of me to think she was pregnant when we hadn't had sex for a while. I should have investigated properly. My first was tightly clenched. I looked so enraged.She has done enough now it's time for her to leave. It's better I ju
Chapter 41Derrick’s point of view Fuck!!!I can't live with this woman anymore. “Mr Jude, isn't there any way to stop that from happening?” I asked him, I don't want Mia back in this house anymore. “There is…. Only if she accepts to tell the judge she also wants the divorce.” He responded. “I'll have to tell her to accept it or else Mia will make my life a living hell for this one month trial.” I was already so exhausted by all the dramas. “Alright Mr Derrick, I’ll be waiting for your feedback.” Mr Jude said and he hung up. I need to convince her but how will I do that, Mia would want to prolong this divorce for another month. I laid on my bed properly trying to figure out what to say to Mia about this issue. And eventually, I slept off. The following morning. It was a Sunday morning. I decided to call Mia to see if I could convince her to go on with the divorce. The phone rings for a while and to my greatest surprise, she picks it up. “Hey, Mia.” I greeted her. “Why are
Chapter 42Zora’s point of view I woke up and found myself at the hospital, I thought I would never make it out of there. My breathing wasn't so strong so I was supported by oxygen. The doctor came in and examined me properly. I explained to him that I felt so much pain and headaches. He advised me to rest and he would bring medication for my complaints. He turned to leave when someone flashed into my mind. “Doctor, please I want to ask if Mr Derrick Robert is admitted here?” I enquired. “Yes he is but he isn't in a critical state, I probably think he is sleeping now.” The doctor answered and I breathed down softly. “Alright, you can tell him I am awake now.” I ordered the doctor and he assured me he would do just that. After the check up, the doctor left and a while later someone slightly knocked.Sophia Madison came in. “Sophia!” I called her name a little louder as she could hear clearly. “So how did you know I was here?” I asked her and smiled. “After receiving a call
Chapter 43Zora’s point of view. The following morning I went to work, and my staff greeted me and welcomed me back to work. Sofia walked into my office. “Good morning, Mrs Zora, you should be resting at home, you just left the hospital yesterday.” Sofia let out and I smiled. “I am fit and fine, I mean what should I do in the house? I wanted to come yesterday but I know you’d want to chase me away back to the house so I just tested. So let me work today, okay?” I laughed as she tightened her face a little. “Who am I not to let you work but I'll do all the stressful ones today.” She insisted and I agreed she welcomed me back to work and left. I was seated already on my chair and looked around my office, why does it feel like I haven't been here for a while? On my desk there wasn't so much to do, I just went through the files there and tried to work on some. At the end of the day, I was heading back from work when a car parked in front of me urging me to stop. What nonsense Is
Chapter 44Zora’s point of view “How did you know about this?” I was so curious to know. “Uhm…. Lee told me about it,” she said and I was wondering when Sophia and Lee became close enough to speak about this. I shouldn’t be bothered about that now, what's this I am hearing about Derrick? Why would he just get divorced, just like that? Even if Mia is giving him a hard time, they should sort things out rather than choosing divorce, he claims he loves Mia so why can't he settle the situation between them? I was quite disappointed in Derrick if he really wants to get a divorce. “I was thinking you know about it already.” Sophia said, looking a little worried. “That's by the way, I might talk to Derrick about it later.” I said, I guess we are quite close now so I think we can talk about it. If he doesn't mind. “There will be a meeting by 1 pm so go and prepare for it.” I said to Sophia and she left. After the meeting I came back to my office and decided to call Derrick. He immedia
Chapter 45Derrick’s point of view For the past few days staying with Mia has made my life so miserable. I was in my office, I couldn't even think straight anymore, the constant headaches kept on coming back, and I had to seek medication. On my way back from the hospital, I decided to see my little friend, I feel comfortable and I feel like my worries have been drawn away, whenever I see her. I have been coming frequently to see her and we are now best buddies. As I reached the school, I sat at the reception where she normally waits for her driver to come pick her up. “Hey Ariana, what's up?” I waved at her and she ran up to me and hugged me. I lifted her and dropped her back to the ground which made her giggle. “So I hope you enjoyed your classes today?” I asked her and she nodded and brought out her book, showing me her beautiful drawings. “This is so pretty.” I praised her. “Ariana, is he your daddy?” Her friend walked up to her, pointing at me. She looked at me. “Yes he
