"From today henceforth, you are banned from communicating my moves with members of your family, it should be kept to me. You agreed to come with me, you signed to be my secretary, so you don't need anyone's permission or knowledge except of where you are, only you. Then your dinner will be sent to you in your room, from tomorrow, I'll make arrangements to see that you have a convenient place to eat in, your own dining room. You wouldn't be sharing one with me any longer." Jaria cries profusely while reading this, on his end, Derek is sad to think of seeing her like this but he has to do this. He has to regain his respect which was gone prior to him being intimate with her, he regrets letting himself experience such miserable experience again, he was supposed to leave behind the romantic part of their relationship as they crossed the border of America. It now becomes a huge burden of imagination now for Jaria, her thoughts are now centered on how life is gonna be being under the sol

As instructed, Jaria appears at Derek's door twenty-five minutes later, looking all grumpy and clumsy. From her facial expression, you would know she is experiencing mood swings."Good morning, Mr Derek. I'm here." She says at the top of her voice while knocking on the door."Hello Jaria, give me two minutes or so, I'll be right there." Derek heaves with satisfaction, at least she cared to obey his instruction. Slowly, he rises from the bed, walks over to the table to confirm if his stuff in his briefcase are complete, upon verifying that it's complete, he picks it up, brushes his suit, then moves on front of the mirror attached to the world to see if he is looking great.He is, satisfied with his appearance he opens the door to see Jaria, she shifts so he could pass through it. "Jaria, you're here?" He says in a semi-mild tone with some indifference in it."Yes, I am." She exhales heavily. "Shall we go?" She asks him briefly, not prepared to engage in too much talk with him."Yes," D

Ten minutes to arriving at the office, Derek asks Eloine to call Jaria for him. "Tell her that I want to see her now and also get to talk with her about certain things I want.""Okay sir," Eloine nods with a bow and goes over to do his job, along the way he realizes his mistake. "I'm sorry," he says with a smile. "I think you will have to be okay with me calling you sir at times, it's a formal title, a popular one I say without even realizing."Derek grins, nods his head to show that he agrees to this. He makes a gesture to Eloine to go. He turns around and exits the room. Within one minute, he's back but not alone. He is back with Jaria, the unhappy Jaria."Sit here beside me!" Derek instructs Jaria. She clumsily accepts to, her face has become so twisted from anger and frustration that you will hardly recognize her with the keeping of this face."Eloine, I think you will give us ten minutes of privacy. So sorry." He informs his PA who smiles, winks at him as Jaria isn't looking thei

**A day ago** Meline Kylian, the mother of Derek who left him at a young age to marry another man from Dubai and was taken here, upon hearing from a secret source that her son would be coming to Dubai, derive Eloine's number from the official website of Derek. Instead of Derek Dawson, his Personal Assistant's number is given so that when it's call, Eloine picks it instead of Derek who can't pick it up, being the boss and in addition to the busy nature of his status. This is one of the major reasons he employed a Personal Assistant who would be handling affairs like this. Eloine picked the call, he asked the caller first of all to introduce herself before staying her reason for call. He expected it to be like other callers but eventually got shocked from what she said. "I'm Derek's mother, I know I haven't needed him for many years, yes, it seems so but his grandfather had taken him away from me when I eventually came back to take him with me to my new marriage. He threatened to kil

Jaria right inside her begins to calculate what to say incase she is asked any question. With the way Meline is starting, she is afraid that she might ask her something which she would stammer over answering if she doesn't starts now to prepare her answers. She switches the topic to family issues. History sets in, she recalls how Dawson chased her out of the family mansion in America when she visited, demanding to take him with her. "I was accused of being a negligent mother, meanwhile I couldn't just take you at once like that to a new marriage. I needed to be sure of the type of man I'm marrying and if he will treat you well as a child from another marriage. After being certain of this, I then came to take you with me but I wasn't given the chance." Derek heaves. He remembers his suffering as a child, if he grew up with his mother, he wouldn't have experience all those but on the second thought, he reasons that he might not have been what he is now if he didn't trade through th
