Zora’s POV “But Mrs Zora, why so much hate? This company is a standard company just like Exela. Why the rejection?” She questioned. Derrick and I's wedding wasn’t a big one compared to his and Mia’s. Our wedding was just heard by few. Come to think of it. I know Derrick is very popular and well known but how come Austin knew about our wedding, I haven’t asked him that question yet. “Sophia just do as I say, go back and tell them we aren’t accepting their offer and that’s it.” I didn’t want to overreact anymore, so she won’t dig into any suspicion. “Alright Mrs Zora.” With that she left and I let out a deep breath. Getting to an hour later I heard a knock on my door and Sophia walked in with a pale face. “What’s the matter?” I asked as my eyebrows were squeezed. “Mrs Zora, I made a mistake with the company’s name. I am truly sorry.” Her head was buried to the ground as she spoke. “Ms. Sophia, look up and tell me what you are talking about.” I ordered her and she faced up and w

Zora’s POV I gulped hard and looked at him, I wasn’t expecting him to say that. “I know you weren’t expecting it but I can’t hide these feelings anymore.” He added and I looked away immediately and stood up. “Uhm…yes, I wasn’t expecting you to say that.” I said and he stood up. “I know but I can’t hide them anymore, this feeling has been there since we were little.” He confessed and I was getting so uncomfortable already. “Please can I just go home already?” I asked, walking away. “So you are just going to ignore everything I said right now?” And immediately I stopped walking and turned to look at him. “I honestly don’t know what to say? I have been through a lot already and I am not ready for anything of that sort right now. Please.” He didn’t utter a word after I said that, rather he just looked at me. “Alright let’s go.” He finally said and we walked away heading to the car. “Zora, I don’t want this to cause awkwardness in our friendship, I’m sorry if what I said made you

Zora’s POV The day I saw Mia I was so shocked and I kept on wondering why she was so drunk that day. Or is Derrick beginning to treat her the way he treated me? I’d be a little surprised if he does that because Mia is actually his first love. “Are you alright?” Austin snapped me out of my thoughts. He came over to my office to drop the records of their data so far and decided to stay for a while. “Yes I am fine but there is something bothering me a little bit.” I said and he asked me what was that. “It’s about Mia, Derrick’s wife.” And immediately he furrowed his eyebrows and asked what about her. “I bumped into her the other night so drunk and messed up, till some guard came to pick her up.” I discussed it with him and he raised one of his brows. “Don’t get yourself worked up over it. Maybe she decided to go out for a drink and ended up getting drunk.” Austin pointed out to me and I just nodded, pushing those thoughts aside. We talked about a few more things before he left.

Zora’s point of view I walked in and saw a lot of people in and of course I got stares. Some people walked up to me and greeted me. The hall is so big and the decorations in the hall are superb, I admire everything about the place. It looked unique. I was served wine and suddenly Austin walked up to me.“Hey beautiful.” Smiles around his face, he held my waist and kissed my hand, his eyes ran through my body and back to my face. “Hey.” I smiled. Austin looked so handsome and he also changed his haircut, he looked so different. The color of his suit matched with my dress making us look more like a couple. “You look so stunning and beautiful.” He flattered me, my face was still curved up with smiles and I also complimented his look. A guard walked up to him and whispered something to his ear. “I’d be back, okay? Let me go take care of something.” He said and I nodded then he left. I sipped my wine and looked around, so many companies turned up for Austin’s party and I exchanged g

Derrick’s point of view For the past eight years of marriage with Mia has been like hell in my life. Mia wasn’t like this before we got married, she was one of the sweetest, loveliest and most especially very kind hearted. What has gotten into her lately. All she cares about now is money, sex, new fashion clothes and so many unwanted things. most especially the money aspect. I can’t even think straight, I love Mia so much but she pays me back with this?!The money I am always ravishing on her isn't enough?I sat on the couch waiting for her to come back home from wherever she had gone too. Tonight I promised myself not to go out there searching for her like before.I can’t be suffering this way. She doesn’t even support me at work anymore, I struggle alone at the office while she will be out there partying with friends. I’m fed up with this whole bullshit!I heard my phone ring and I picked up. “We have found her and we are heading back home now.” One of the guards I sent to go se
