All Chapters of A Mistaken Night With The CEO : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

When Derrick entered the living room with Alexa, she was feeling like a princess, enjoying his warm gesture of holding her hand. "Good morning, Ma," Alexa quickly greeted Lady Loretta as she saw the older lady seated alone at the golden dining table and chair that was adjacent to the living room. "You're welcome, my dear," Lady Loretta replied, as she watched her son holding hands with the pretty young woman. "Do you care to join us for breakfast, or you've eaten at home?" Lady Loretta asked Alexa who smiled. When Alexa wanted to reply, she saw the pretty young lady emerge in the sparkling red dress. The dress the young lady wore was more expensive than hers. Instead of responding to Lady Loretta's question, Alexa got caught up wondering who the young lady was and also which family she's from to be able to afford such an expensive gown. She had seen Nicole wear a similar design, and she wanted to purchase the same but didn't have the chance to. "Alexa, what are you staring at? C

Derrick was not impressed with his mother sending Miranda to call him. He was having a hard time seeing her around and knowing the level of effect that she had on him. "Derrick, what's wrong?" Lady Loretta asked, upon seeing Derrick frowning. "Nothing, Mom. Can we have our dinner now? I wanted to discuss Alexa with you and if you like her, but I decided to allow you to rest," Derrick said, and his mother sighed. "Let's have our dinner first. It's already getting late," Lady Loretta replied and didn't want to discuss Alexa. She didn't know how she would tell Derrick that she wanted him to marry Miranda instead, as Derrick didn't like the young lady. Seeing his mother was not eating as she looked lost in deep thought, Derrick asked her, "Mom, is everything alright?" "Yes," Lady Loretta snapped out of her trance, smiled, and picked up her spoon as she resumed eating. Derrick decided not to discuss Alexa again with his mother, upon seeing that she looked stressed. He kept quiet as th

Miranda hadn't anticipated the kiss, and Derrick deepened it, not giving her a chance to breathe. His lips savored every contour of her soft lips, kissing her hungrily, fervently, and drawing her in to himself as he wanted to ravish her. His body had been burning hot with intense desire to quench, and having her standing so closely to himself, Derrick couldn't explain what came over him. As their lips parted, they were both breathing heavily, while Miranda was stunned and wanted to bolt away from his sitting room, not expecting Derrick to kiss her. She remembered his mother had told her that she wanted her only son to marry her, and that was why she had adopted her. Although Miranda's heart grew with excitement as her heart beat quickened, with the way Derrick had spoken to her so softly and with the way his lips tasted of alcohol in her mouth, she knew he was drunk and acting under the influence of alcohol, as the real Master Derrick that she knew was arrogant, mean, and he disliked

"I'm sorry, Ma, but I searched everywhere, and I didn't see Miranda. She's not in her room or around the mansion either," relayed the maid, with her head bent low. "Where could she be? Did she leave the house this morning? Are her belongings still in her room?" Lady Loretta asked, becoming worried as she knew Miranda had been behaving strangely recently. "Yes, Ma. Miranda's bag is still in her room, but she's not there," Susan said, and Lady Loretta sighed. "That's fine, you go ahead and prepare my tea. I will find out later where Miranda went to," Lady Loretta said, dismissing Susan as she awaited for Derrick to come downstairs, but still Derrick didn't respond to the maid or come downstairs. Lady Loretta wondered what was going on in her house as she finished drinking her tea, yet she didn't see Derrick. She stood up from the dining chair and went upstairs carefully to Derrick's sitting room to at least find out if her son was alright and not dead or something wrong as her heart

After Gabriel left Derrick's office, Derrick sank back in his chair, thinking of his night's escapade with Miranda. "Oh, no. I had been hard on her," he thought and sighed. Wanting to close up and leave his office, Derrick heard the knock on his office door, and he replied, "Come in." Alexa, wearing a black suit, nervously walked into Derrick's office. She observed that he had arrived late at the office, and she thought it was only right that she find out why he had arrived late. "Good evening, Derrick," Alexa said, standing nervously across from Derrick. "Yes, what do you want?" Derrick asked, rubbing his jaw as he relaxed back in his office seat and looked at Alexa. "Derrick, I didn't come here for work-related matters, but to know if you're alright," Alexa said, and Derrick sighed. Seeing Alexa, he felt guilty and couldn't tell the truth about what his problem was either. "I'm fine. It's just that I was stressed, so I woke up late this morning, but it's fine," Derrick said, o
