Derrick returned to his room, pondering, "Why does she not want to leave Larry?" He sighed, picked up his phone, and went back to his sitting room to surf the internet, believing that Miranda would tell Larry that it was over between them.Derrick knew that he hadn't yet thrown away the engagement ring that Larry had used to propose to Miranda. He stood up from his couch, went back to his room, and pulled open his bed drawer, retrieving the ring that Larry had used to propose to Miranda.Looking at the intricate design of the diamond encrusted on the ring, Derrick sighed and took it with him as he headed back downstairs to the guest room to return the ring to Miranda.He recalled that she was still using her old room in the mansion, so he went there to see her and return the ring.Miranda was lying on the bed, trying to sleep, as her mind replayed the memories she had shared with Derrick the previous night. A knock on her room door interrupted her thoughts, so she rose from her bed an
Miranda laid on her bed and slept off. The next morning, she awoke and prepared to leave for the local town where she had her mall.She had kept in touch with Lady Blessing to know how her business had been ongoing. Also, she had her phone to receive notifications about her business.When she was through with her bath, Miranda took out her green gown from her bag and she donned it. She dried her hair and packed it into a bun. Once she was done applying a simple makeup of white powder on her face, she grabbed her bag and set to leave the house.As she was packing her phone and ensuring she hadn't forgotten anything, she wore a black shoe, and a knock on her door interrupted her."Who's there?" She asked from within the room, realizing she hadn't even locked up the door."Come in," she said, and the door pushed open as Lady Evelyn stepped into the room."Miranda, are you already leaving us?" Lady Evelyn asked as she walked into Miranda's room."Yes, Ma. I have some business to do, that'
After Miranda was through with her tea, she set to leave the house while she grabbed her bag and told her son goodbye.Oliver wasn't happy that his mother was leaving him, and he recalled that she had asked him who he wanted her to be with.As he was standing outside with his daddy, watching his mother get into the car, Oliver was crying, and Derrick, who hasn't comforted a child before, had to take the responsibility to comfort Oliver, who was seriously crying, thinking he wouldn't get to see his mother again."Why are you crying?" Derrick asked, as he crouched to meet his son's height.He carried the little boy up in his arms, but Oliver continued to cry as he watched his mother leave him. He wanted to follow his mother, he missed her, and he sobbed in his father's arms.Miranda saw her son crying, but she braced herself that she would have to leave. She forgot to collect Derrick's number, but luckily, she had him on her chat, so she decided to message him to let him know when she w
It was past 6 PM when Miranda finished work and took a cab home, having spent hours thinking about her decision to end her affair with Larry. As she walked out of her office, she waved goodbye to Lady Blessing and three other coworkers. She got into a cab and headed home since she hadn’t taken her car to the mall. Upon arriving home, Miranda was surprised to see Larry’s car parked in her compound. She saw him sitting in the car and nervously walked up to meet him. “Good evening,” she greeted him as she approached. “Tell me it’s not true, babe?” Larry asked as he got out of the car. He wore a brown shirt and black pants paired with black slippers as he walked up to Miranda. “Tell me it’s not true, babe, that you want to end your affair with me?” he demanded as he finally approached her. Miranda looked down at her feet, unable to meet Larry’s gaze. “I’m sorry,” she sobbed, hoping he would understand. He asked her, “Why? After five years?” “Please, Larry. I do love you, but I
Miranda went into her mall and continued with her office work for the day. She met with some partners that she sells their brands. After she sat in her office during lunch break, thinking about Larry. She took out her phone and pondered. *What am I going to do? Should I call him?* She only wanted to return Larry's ring, but a part of her still wanted to see him..Miranda felt bad that Larry was sad, but she had no other option than to move on. Her phone buzzed with an incoming call, and she saw that it was a video call from Derrick. Miranda quickly picked up her white handkerchief and wiped her face."Hello," she said as she answered the call.Derrick's face came into view and he saw that Miranda looked sad."Hello, Mommy?" Asked Oliver as he peeped into the call. Oliver wore a blue top and black shorts. He wanted to speak to his mother and had been the one disturbing his dad to call her."Hi, Oliver." Miranda tried to act like she was fine, but she was still heartbroken with her own
Derrick wasn't pleased that Miranda didn't respond to him after he had woken from his sleep and checked his phone for any possible missed calls. He decided to have his bath, bathe Oliver, and they dressed up in black suits, preparing to visit the local town. "Dad, where are we going to?" Oliver inquired as Derrick dressed him up in the room, combing his son's black hair. "We are going to see your Mom, and my company too," Derrick's reply was short, but Oliver giggled "Yay!" Oliver excitedly walked out from the room with Derrick, and they made their way downstairs. "Good morning, Aunt," Derrick greeted Lady Evelyn, who was around and wearing a white nightdress. She was a chubby woman and very tall in height. "Derrick, where are you and Oliver heading to? I almost forgot that you are controlling Dad's company. Because you're always at home," said Lady Evelyn. She sat on a chair at the dining table. Derrick smiled as he led Oliver to settle on their seat. "I just wanted to t
Derrick looked from Miranda to Larry as Larry walked out of the house with a smirk."Good morning, Mr. Luis," Larry greeted Derrick, extending his hand for a handshake.Derrick looked at Larry's open right palm, not wanting to accept his hand. However, upon seeing Miranda looking at him, Derrick finally shook hands with Larry."You should consider yourself lucky that she chose you over me. Congratulations," Larry smirked and waved goodbye to Oliver.He walked away to his car while Derrick shifted his gaze and looked at Miranda.Miranda blushed as she watched Larry get into his car and drive off."What were you doing with him?" Derrick asked as he moved closer to meet Miranda by the door frame, just as Larry's car drove out of her residence."Mom!" Oliver let go of Derrick's hand and rushed to hug his mother, as he was also surprised to see Uncle Larry in his mother's house. Although Oliver knew they were friends, he didn't suspect anything bad."We are friends. So he came around to se
Derrick's car arrived at a fancy restaurant, and they got out of the car and went into the Restaurant building together. Miranda was nervous to be in the same space as Derrick. This was the first time that he was taking her out on a date.Derrick requested a private spot, and he was taken away with Miranda to the Restaurant's private section.Derrick could see that Miranda appeared nervous. He smiled at her and considered in his mind to get her a lovely wedding ring and to propose to her. But he wasn't confident to propose to her in a restaurant.Miranda sat down first, before Oliver and Derrick, as there were only three chairs surrounding a table where they sat."What would you like to have?" Derrick inquired. Miranda picked up the menu and replied, "Just chicken pepper soup is okay."She looked at her son and asked him, "What would you like to have, Oliver?""The same, Mom," Oliver smiled. He was happy that his parents were together."Okay, bring the same request for me too," Derric
