By the time I came back from the party, I was freaking exhausted, I had a wow time with Prince Hammeed and who knew the man had such a good sense of humor, Derrick was cold as usual and although he tried to make some small talk with me, I couldn’t respond well to him, because I have never had anything to say to him asides work issues.I bade him goodbye after he dropped me off and he did well to remind me of the job we had down the next day.I went into Henry's room to check on him and I saw my baby was fast asleep, I kissed him goodnight and tucked him well in the blanket. Olivia had also gone to bed and there was not much to do around, I went up to my room to have a good night's sleep but surprisingly, I kept turning and tossing on my bed, it was strange because I was already falling asleep in my boss’s car, I had such a wonderful time at the Prince event and I was already pretty exhausted from all the partying, why was I finding it difficult to sleep?.I noticed Derrick's cold gaze

I let my intrusive thoughts take the better of me, and I immediately ordered flowers and even asked Alexa to lunch. It’s been long I did such things, and I smiled at the thought of me being foolish once again.I had been so embedded in my work that I didn't know when the time passed.I looked up to see Alexa standing in front of me, maybe she's eager for lunch just as I was, but the expression on her face didn't seem right. She looked too happy just for a lunch date, or was she happy because she's going with me?, Was she feeling the same way I felt?Her pale voice broke me out of my reverie.“Prince Hammeed is here to see you, sir”.“What?” My eyes widening, Why would the Prince visit me in my office without any prior notice, on the day I wanted to take Alexa to lunch. It took me thousands of intrepidity to ask this lady here for lunch, and this fucking Prince just ruins it.“Send him in”, trying my best to hide my irritation.“Alright, Sir”I watched how Alexa gently ushered him int

I got a call from a strange number and I was tempted to pick it up, but I couldn't, my hands were shaking, I could feel my body vibrating from anger and my mind wasn't sturdy enough. I watched the phone ring till it broke off.I got another call from my mother. I knew I was supposed to take her to dinner today but why was she calling so early? It was just past lunch hour. Despite my reluctance, I picked up the phone.“Hi, mom”Hi darling, how are you? Her voice was so breezy and it calmed me down a bit. But what she said next had my heart racing ten times faster than it should.“I just got off the phone with Diana, it's such a delight to speak to her after all these years, isn't it 4 years now?”“Diana? What the hell are you doing talking to her?”.Why would my mother still talk to Diana, they had gotten along 4 years ago but that was in the past and I intended to keep it that way.“And Yes, Mother, it's been 4 years”, I said, grimacing.“What do I need this piece of information for?”

I heard the noises outside and rushed to the window to get a better view of what was happening. Not in a million years did I picture the image that was displayed right in front of me.My boss’s girlfriend just had a fatal accident, and I witnessed the heroic show that Derrick put into saving her life. And I wondered what could have transpired between them,They were just ogling over themselves a few minutes ago, and now she was lying helplessly in the middle of the road. I silently prayed that she wasn't dead because I was sure it would cause Derrick to be torn into pieces and my work might become more insufferable.I waited patiently past closing hours, even when the other staff had all dispersed home, I had to wait for Derrick to come to the office first. I was in serious doubt as to if he would make it back to the company or if I should just leave. If the accident was very fatal, I doubted Derrick would make it to the office again. I decided to time myself and if Derrick wasn’t bac

I woke up to check my time and I saw that there was no way I wasn't going to be late for work today, going to work late was a thing, facing Derrick was another.I quickly got out of bed and rushed to Henry's room to get him ready, darting to the kitchen to make a quick fix for breakfast before heading to the bathroom to have my bath.In no time, I was ready and so also was Henry. We Bid Olivia our goodbyes and I made a quick stop at his school to drop him off. Then I headed to the office.Thankfully, Derrick wasn't in his seat and that was so unlike him. I went to the receptionist area, made a hot cup of black coffee, and headed straight to Derrick's office. Setting it down gently, I took a good look at his office, even though his office was breathtakingly beautiful, it lacked warmth. Just like Derrick himself.“What are you doing in here staring like that?” The Husky voice made me wheel myself around.The sight of him was almost a nightmare. He looked so tired and stressed out with h
