Derrick’s POVI watched Naomi’s face go pale before the box fell from her hand. I knew what was in it before trying to pick it up. The freak had followed us here and had used an innocent child to get to us. She wasn’t afraid of using an innocent child for her deed.Dean stared at the box on the floor, “What’s that, mummy?”I picked it up before he could try to touch it, “It’s nothing, Champ. It just fell off mummy’s hand. How about we finish our ice cream?” I closed the box back. I’ll deal with that when I get home. I had to hold Naomi before leading her away from the booth. Her hand was cold, and I could see her eyes darting left and right. I led us to one of the benches in the park. There was no one we could figure this person out in this crowd of people. “Mummy, your ice cream is melting?” Dean said.Naomi hadn’t bothered tasting the ice cream, and that worried me. It wasn’t safe here anymore.“I think we need to go home, Champ. Mum isn’t feeling too good.”Immediately, Dean look

Derrick’s P.O.V.The next day, we were all camped in the V.I.P. section of my club; Naomi, Emily, Ricky, Grey, and I. I understand that Grey was trying to help us, but I would have preferred if he wasn’t aware of the situation. The less people knew, the better it was for us, but he seemed to be something important to Emily with how he clutched beside her on the seat.I pulled Naomi firmly close to my side and very far from Grey’s side. Something about his face didn’t sit well with me, and it wasn’t because I was jealous or anything. How could a guy look as pretty as he is and still have those muscular features? Moreover, I have heard about Grey’s company, but nobody knew his background.Who goes around trusting that kind of guy? Obviously, Naomi’s best friend, Emily. We had to leave Dean with Diana; she was thrilled to have him over, but I had to warn her severely not to slip up in front of Dean. He didn’t know we were family, yet. Although I’d like to change that as soon as possible,

Naomi’s P.O.V.“I’m sorry, Naomi.” Derrick’s voice sounded small, as if it had just happened yesterday. I forced a smile towards him.“It’s okay. You didn’t know what really happened. I think you let jealousy got over your feelings.”Derrick chuckled, “I think that’s true. When I saw your picture with another man, I could barely think of anything. I think I liked you way back then too, but I didn’t realize that. I was overcome with my ego. I’m sorry. I let my jealousy destroy our marriage.”We were back home, and Dean was sleeping in his room. Only God knew what he had done with Diana because he was so tired when he returned. I had to force him to eat his meal before he continued sleeping. Seeing him close his eyes while eating like he had performed a major job all day was quite cute.Derrick’s hand held mine, and it slowly traced a circular form on my hand, sending shivers down my body to my lady part. I had never been able to resist Derrick’s charm completely, but I congratulate my

Naomi’s P.O.V.“What the fuck are you talking about?” Maya said, jumping from the bed. She was angry. I know that, but I didn’t care about that at the moment. I have someone at stake here, and I would go through any length to protect him.Sensing the tension in the room, Sandy left the room, closing the door behind. I would have loved to engage with her, but I was more concerned about Maya.“I remember you barging into my house claiming Derrick will be yours, and you will soon be Mrs. Boone. Is that wrong?”She tilted her chin up, “So, what?”“So, are you threatening me because you can’t get Derrick to be yours? After breaking our marriage, he still won’t be yours.”She blinked at me as if she was confused. I knew Maya was anything but a liar. She’d boldly claim every evil thing she was up to, but I know this was too much, so she might want to hide it. It was just disgusting thinking of an elderly woman threatening a little child like Dean.“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I n

Derrick’s POVI was back in the office, and I already missed Naomi. I missed having her close to me always, but we needed to do this, and I needed to give the crazy woman the courage to approach me. According to Naomi, staying away from her for a bit would encourage her to approach me, but I doubted it.Thankfully, I was lost at work to keep staring at time, and it helped me miss Naomi less. I had to keep my phone from me so I wouldn’t call her while working.After work, I called Ricky to hang out together at the club. From experience, I knew the easiest way for women to approach me was at the club. If I started frequently the club again, soon there would be rumors, and more ladies would approach me.I have visited the club for a week now and haven’t seen the freak. Lots of girls had approached me, and I had pretended to be into them, but it was disgusting when all I could think of was Naomi. I called her daily to make sure Dean was alright and to check if there was any new threat, bu
