Our House of Cards: He Thought He Left Me with Nothing CHAPTER 14– JUST LIKE HIS FATHER
NICOLUS I sank of the couch, I was exhausted. I had spent the entire morning helping Kora and her children move into their new home. Making sure everything was in place and that they had everything they needed. By the time I returned to the penthouse, I barely had time to think. “Sir.” I lifted my head lazily; my assistant stood a few feet away looking as though he had something important on his mind.“What is it?” I wished he could just deal with other stuff without reporting to me. “There is something I don’t understand.” I silently stared at him hoping he would just get to the point. “Are you doing all this because you want revenge on Derick?” That got my attention. I straightened on the couch my exhaustion momentarily forgotten.“If Derick was a decent man, I would have continued to support him from the shadows just like I have always done.” My assistant settled on the couch opposite me. “But he is still your brother.” I threw him a glare. “Half-brother.” I corrected sharply. “He
Our House of Cards: He Thought He Left Me with Nothing CHAPTER 13– TRUST HIM OR NOT
KORA I could hear the hatred in his voice as he spoke. Which told me whatever he went through as child with his mother was similar to what I was going through. I didn’t know if going through similar situations meant I could trust him, but I had no other option. He was the only one who was willing to stand with me, and I could use his resources.Without word, I got out of the car, Wendy saw me and frowned. My daughter must have been wondering why I was getting out of a car like that. “Come on, baby. We still have to go pick up your brother.” She didn’t ask questions. She followed me into the car. “Hello, Wendy.” She stared at Nicolus then back at me.I gave her a nod. “Hello, Mr.” Nicolus grinned. “Let us go pick up your brother then get you something to eat.” Wendy nodded. The drive to my son’s school was silent. I couldn’t stop thinking about the star symbol at the back of that card. Wondering where I had seen it before and why it was important.When we got to the school, I went ins
Our House of Cards: He Thought He Left Me with Nothing CHAPTER 12– FIGHTING BACK
KORA Derick froze at my words, his back stiffened and his hands curled into fists. He didn’t turn or say a word. He only stopped for a minute before walking out. Reporters shoved their microphones in my face talking over each other. “Ms Kora, did you know about Ms Vera? Was she the reason your husband divorced you?” A young male reporter asked.I had expected that question from the reporter who asked Derick about Vera and her daughter. The one from The Voice news. But he had already stepped back, he was behind everyone else packing his things preparing to leave. That got me curious, when Derick spoke, he countered, revealing information Derick would rather have hidden.Yet when I stood alone with them, he stepped back. He didn’t ask a single question. That got me curious, did someone send him? I wondered. “That is all I am going to say today.” Before I could take a step, another reporter blocked my way. “Ms Kora, what did you mean when you said you are sending a lawyer for the patent
Our House of Cards: He Thought He Left Me with Nothing CHAPTER 11 – SHE HAS CHANGED
DERICK I immediately let go of her hand and stepped back. I had an IPO I was preparing for, I didn’t need a scandal, especially the kind Kora wanted to create. The image she wanted the world to see, one of an abusive ex-husband. I smiled with my hands lifted in surrender. “That is not what I was trying to do.” Kora turned to me; she looked at me with a calm I had never seen before.The kind that made my stomach drop as if something bad was about to happen. “Then what were you trying to do, Mr Vance?” Her voice was cold as if she were talking to a stranger and for some reason, my heart ached. “I only wanted to take you inside so we can start the press conference properly.” Kora looked back at the reporters.“Mr Vance is right; the press conference is inside.” She then walked in followed by the reporters. I felt uneasy but I ignored it and walked inside as well. As long as Kora clarified, everything was going to be alright. Everyone got seated and I went and took my place in front. “Go
Our House of Cards: He Thought He Left Me with Nothing CHAPTER 10 – THE LIE
KORA “You are going to tell them the divorce was your decision.” I stared at myself in the mirror, remembering his words from the night before. I had barely slept/ every time I closed my eyes, I saw his face. The way he had looked at me when he accused me. the way is hand had closed around my wrist. The way he had shoved me to the ground and then stood there as if I was nothing.And now he wanted me to stand in front of the whole world and lie for him. I looked down at the dress hanging over the chair. Samuel was coming to pick me up in less than an hour. For a moment, I considered not going. I could stay in the apartment, turn off my phone and let Derick deal with the mess he created.But I knew him. he would find a way to make me the villain. He always did. I reached for the dress and held it against my body, staring at my reflection again. Six year, six years of marriage. Six years of building a life with that man. I had helped build DK Group when there was barely anything to buil
Our House of Cards: He Thought He Left Me with Nothing CHAPTER 9 – THE CONFRONTATION
KORA It was a normal day at work. At least I thought it was. I was busy at the register scanning customers groceries and trying to keep my mind occupied when I noticed Josh walking past my aisle again. He looked at me; I caught him staring. The moment our eyes met, he quickly looked away and pretended to be busy fixing something on the shelf.I frowned, that was strange. Josh had done it several times that morning. Every time I caught him watching me, he would suddenly find something else to. had I done something wrong? I quickly dismissed the thought. Josh was straightforward. If I had made a mistake, he wouldn’t hesitate to chew me out, even in front of the customers.What was going on? I felt his eyes on me again. I glanced toward him, but he was already pretending to be busy. “Are you alright?” The voice of the woman standing in front of me pulled me back to reality. I forced a smile. “Yes, I am okay. Thank you for asking. I scanned the last few items in her basket and handed he
