Derrick’s POV “What do you guys think you are doing together?” Ricky asked as he sipped his drink. We’re currently in the VIP section of my club, and I have instructed them not to allow any other person in. It’s just the three of us. The VIP section was soundproof, so there was no way any sound could come in. It was exactly what I wanted. Naomi rolled her eyes at him. I sighed, “I don’t think I can stay away from my family. Your plan sucks. We need another plan. Why should I suffer because of some fucker?” I know he was just trying to help, but it wasn’t easy to stay away from those I wanted to be closest to. Ricky gaze moved from Naomi to me. He leaned in and whispered, “You were fine staying away from her for five years, but suddenly you can’t endure two weeks.” I could see the curiosity in Naomi’s eyes; she wanted to know what he said. I sat up straight. I don’t intend to hide anything from her, especially since she greatly doubts me because of our past. I want to be honest wit

Naomi’s POVMy first instinct was to hold onto Dean. The banging on the door was serious, like the person was ready to break the door.Emily cursed while she put on a comfy wear; she didn’t open the door immediately. She glanced through the peephole before cursing louder. She opened the door. A tall guy with dark hair moved inside. He looked like he walked out of the magazine, and his confidence felt like an aura throughout the room. I frowned at this. He held a small box and shoved it at Emily. His gaze didn’t leave her, and I don’t think he had any idea someone else was in the room. His eyes were only for Emily.“I saw that at the front of your door. What’s wrong with you? Why are you ignoring my calls? Do you want to drive me insane?’He didn’t look like he was about to go insane. He looked too good to go insane. I guessed it had to be her boss from the gist of things. He wasn’t happy with this break of a thing.Em sighed; she collected the box before walking him in. Then, his gaze

Naomi’s POVI wasn’t expecting what I woke up to the next morning. Yes, I knew things were expected to change when I signed the contract. It was the norm in a relationship, even if it were fake. I hadn’t expected to see Derrick at the front of my door so early in the morning.I was just getting Dean ready for school; his bodyguard stood at the front of the door in case there was going to be another mysterious gift.When I heard the bell, my heart skipped a beat, thinking it was another crossed picture, but when I got there and saw Derrick with his luggage, my heart skipped for another reason.My gaze moved to the luggage in his hand, “What’s the meaning of this? Are you going somewhere?”He invited himself in while I trailed behind him. He settled his bag in the living room, took a bottle of cold water, and drank it before responding to my question. “I’ve decided to start living here.”“What!”I yelled before I could think. Dean ran into the living room scared, but when he saw Derrick,

Derrick’s P.O.V.This smile on my face was permanent. I never knew it was this amazing to be a father. Today felt like the best day of my life, eating breakfast with my family and driving Dean to school. It was what I wanted to repeat every day of my life.My assistant took his position behind me, filling me in on things I had missed during my absence. I trusted that he could handle most of the work, so I wasn’t bothered about missing most.His voice shivered as he spoke, but I smiled at everything. I understand him. He’s human, and it’s easy to make mistakes; I let it go. I was going to correct the mistakes myself. After reading the report, he left my office. I sat at my desk and brought out my phone to stare at the picture I took with Dean on his way to school. If only Naomi were part of the picture, it would have been perfect, but this was still wallpaper-worthy on my phone. I changed the wallpaper and stared at the phone for a long time before dropping it.In the next few hours,

Derrick’s POVI found myself on the bed; when I looked up, Naomi was adjusting her shorts as she opened her door. Dean walked in with a wide smile. He didn’t suspect a thing.“Did you find it?”I groaned, wishing he was a bit busier before coming to ask about his spoon. “Sorry, Champ, we’re still looking for it.”I adjusted my trousers as I could feel my boner. What I needed at the moment was Naomi or cold water, but as it was, I knew I wasn’t going to get Naomi, so cold water it was.Dean smiled, running towards the edge of the bed. He brought out the spoon and laughed. “Look at this.”I shared a look with Naomi, but she looked away immediately. I knew she was still affected by whatever just happened between us. To me, it was a clue that she had feelings for me. If I worked on that, I could regain her trust and love. It was what I wanted.“Because nobody won, should we play another one?” Dean’s voice sounded excited.Naomi groaned, “No, baby. Mummy has to work now, and you need to do
