Our House of Cards: He Thought He Left Me with Nothing CHAPTER 31– THE PAIN IN HIS EYES
KORA Because I didn’t know where Derick lived, the police contacted his lawyer. Derick kicked me out of the house and was planning to move into our home with Vera after the divorce. Well, he had already moved her in before the ink even dried on the papers. But when I called the old butler, he told me he was not at house.“The lawyer has given us his address; we are going there now.” I had presented the officers with our divorce agreement as well as the separate agreement we signed where Derick signed away his parental rights. A case of kidnapping had been opened, and his lawyer was trying to get me to drop the charges. Saying Derick acted impulsively because he missed his son.I almost laughed, Derick didn’t miss Noah, he didn’t even know him. All he knew was that Noah had his blood running through his veins, nothing more. “Mr Vance can explain that to us when you see him. Now please, led the way.” We got into our respective cars and followed the lawyer to Derick’s house.The one he
Our House of Cards: He Thought He Left Me with Nothing CHAPTER 30– TIME WITH MY SON
DERICK I watched my son play on the carpet with no care in the world. Seeing him like that made me think of a time I played with him. I tried to recall but the only thing that came to mind were all the gifts I got him. Even those eventually stopped. I stared at Noah now wondering why he trusted me when I went to pick him up. Was it only because I was his father? was that enough for him to trust me?“Noah.” He lifted his head looking at me with those bright eyes of his. Why did I never notice how much he looked like me, even those eyes were mine. “Are you hungry?” the light in his eyes faded. He lowered his head playing with his fingers. “Are you going to send me away after I eat?” I stared at him; it was my first time spending time with him like that.Why would he think I would send him away. “Daddy, I will not fight Lilly for you anymore. Can you stay with me a little longer?” I was stanned. I stared at him. a moment came to mind uninvited. It was his birthday, but Vera called sayin
Our House of Cards: He Thought He Left Me with Nothing CHAPTER 29– KIDNAPPING
KORA “I am beginning to think you brought me here to make me jealous.” Lucas complained. We were at the boutique, and I was choosing a dress to wear for my date with Nicolus. I asked him to come with me to help me choose because I had no one else to ask. It wasn’t because I wanted to make him jealous, I simply wanted his opinion.“I am sure Nicolus is going to feel the same way when I ask him to choose a dress for our date.” Lucas grinned. I raised an eyebrow eying him suspiciously. “What are you thinking?” He shrugged. “Lucas.” He laughed. “Just choose something spectacular for our date, I want him green with envy.” I laughed; he was being childish.“Am serious, I can’t have him outdo me.” I chuckled shaking my head. He volunteered to stay with the kids until we came back. I appreciated that, he was jealous that I was going to dinner with Nicolus before him. But that didn’t stop him from offering help and making things easy for me. He even said his emotions were his and not my burde
Our House of Cards: He Thought He Left Me with Nothing CHAPTER 28– HIS TRUESELF
KORA I stare at him, his jaw tightening. He looked almost offended like he couldn’t believe I had just spoken to him like that. He was not used to it. before, his word was law to me. He stared at me not able to find the words to respond. The woman standing before him was nothing like the Kora he had known. The woman who could have lowered her head, apologised and done everything possible to avoid upsetting him.The woman in front of him didn’t avoid his gaze or lowered her head. She looked him straight in the eyes. His grip tightened on my jacket. “Don’t get too comfortable, Kora. Whatever money you have now, whatever men are standing behind you. don’t forget that I know you better than anyone.” I glanced down at the hand gripping my jacket then back at his face.“Then perhaps you should remember what you know about me, Derick. I spent years building a company with you. I know exactly how much it takes to destroy one.” He released my collar. I straightened my jacket, completely unfaz
Our House of Cards: He Thought He Left Me with Nothing CHAPTER 27 – SACRIFICES
DERICK“We are here to make difficult decisions; we all know what is happening and we can’t keep going like this.” I was meeting with the board; we had to decide on how we proceed with the company. Things were falling apart and fast. “What do you suggest, Mr Vance?” I straightened. “We shout cut costs by shutting down departments that are no longer profitable and keep those that are still generating revenue.” I scanned their faces.They all looked grim. “Mr Vance, I am only taking a chance with you because you have made me a lot of money over the years, I will trust you again for old times sake. I will even invest ten million.” I smiled. “Thank you, Mr Wallis, I will not let you down.” Ten million was enough for debts and payroll of the small departments who are still functional.“Don’t celebrate yet, Mr Vance, because if you fail, I will make you pay back twice the amount.” I nodded eagerly. I wasn’t going to fail. That selfish woman Kora could keep her patents. The company would sur

KORA It was a Friday evening, and we were at my place. Lucas was playing with the kids in the lounge. Loud laughter drifted through the door now then. Nicolus was helping me in the kitchen. He wore and apron stirring the soup on the stove. I was busy making pork chops. We were celebrating my victory against Derick, and I wanted to thank both of them properly for all their help and support.They didn’t particularly enjoy being together but tonight, they had no choice. I started setting the table and Nicolus brought out the dishes. I went to the lounge to call them for dinner, but they were no longer there. The tv was playing the news. I took the remote about to switch it off when a headline caught my attention.DK Group COE Reported Girlfriend, Vera Scott for taking his money and disappearing. Police have opened a case against Ms Scott, but her whereabouts are still unknown. “Serves him right, he threw away a perfectly good marriage for that woman. Look at him now.” Nicolus’s voice so
