Chapter 32Zora’s point of view“Your parents want to see Ariana and I?” My eyes popped open as I asked. Immediately I remembered his mother, she doesn’t like me a bit. “Yes, you don’t want that? It’s just for a couple of days and maybe celebrate the new year with them and be back.” He said and I gulped and breathed down softly. “That would be fun.” I laughed awkwardly, I know his parents so well but his mother doesn’t really like me and to add to it, I am a divorcee with a child. Will she accept me? “You have nothing to worry about, okay? I’ll be right there beside you.” Austin reassured me and smiled and I smiled back and felt a little ease. The Christmas party was over and Austin left after saying he will be back by 10am so we can start our journey to his parents place. The thoughts of facing his mother once again filled me with a huge feeling of unease and discomfort. But I will have to subdue those feelings and go, I am getting married into that family so I have to be more

Chapter 34Zora’s point of view I was glad he showed up to pick me up because this street is so lonely at night. We didn’t talk at all, the silence was a comfortable one though, my eyes were fixed outside the view as he drove. The thoughts when Austin proposed to me flew back into my head, I wondered how he would feel that day. Or maybe he might not have felt a thing, he was with his wife so probably he wasn’t even feeling anything. But when he walked out looking infuriated, that is the part that gets me confused. “Aww.” Immediately I saw the festival going on, it was the floating lantern, to make a wish. It happens every last day of the year. Immediately Derrick pulled over and I looked at him. “Let’s go make a wish.” He uttered and I laughed softly. I wanted to go so badly that I couldn’t say no. I missed last year’s festival, so now I have the opportunity. I wouldn’t want to miss this year’s. We stepped out of the car, moving to the bustling arena. So many people were gathe

Chapter 36Derrick’s point of view I thanked her as she walked into my car and then I drove out. She looked out the window, couple of times and it gave me the privilege to gaze at her. I noticed how happy she was staring at the people with floating lanterns. It was a festive night, to make a wish. I haven’t attended one before and I heard whatever your wish is it will surely come to pass. So I said to myself, why shouldn’t I give it a try and also watching Zora’s attitude made me believe she also wants to go. So I packed at a safer place and she suddenly turned and looked at me. “Let’s go make a wish.” I smiled at her and she chuckled softly. Luckily she agreed and we both headed out to the booming area and I went to pick up two floating lanterns to make a wish with and gave one to Zora. We made our wish and finally let go of the lantern. It looked so beautiful in the sky and immediately I turned and looked at Zora. She smiled so dearly as she looked at the sky, I have never s

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 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
