They all know that! "Take care of yourself and her." ~ ~ Next Morning Nina's eyes snapped opened weakly, she took a look at her surrounding with her still lying on the bed. A hospital? What's she doing here? She slowly closed her eyes and everything came flashing back. It's true she was stabbed, stabbed by Sintia. The incident played in her head as she ran around the house with her wet cheeks pleading for mercy."I am sorry Sintia, I. didn't burn your dress on purpose. I. forgot the iron was very hot and the moment it landed on your dress it got burnt." Nina explained with tears streaming down her face.She could see Sintia holding the knife, she really wants to kill her. Sintia want to kill her for a simple mistake anyone else can make.A resounding slap landed on Nina's cheek and it reddened almost immediately.Still, she didn't stand to be stabbed. There was no way to escape. She was frightened, her breathe wasn't stable anymore from running around. She feel terribly sc
He wish he can take it away once and all. He doesn't want to ever see her suffer again. After this has ended, it will be the last of it. "You don't have to be scared, I won't hurt you. I am here to help you." Derrick half lied! Half of it was the truth but he was here because he loves her and he cares too. Nina blinked her baby like eyes again innocently trying to get what Derrick just said. He's here to help her! How? Why? She tried peeping into his eyes but she caught him staring intently at her. Without him saying anything else, he helped her to the bed and made her sit with a pillow supporting her back. She feel gob masked but dare not say a word. "Forget about me for now and focus on you getting better, pretend I am not here with you or pretend I am your brother for now till you are discharged." Derrick said to her and her eyes bulged out. How can she pretend he's not here when his fragrance is everywhere in the room. The thought of the almighty Derrick being in the sa
"I have collected your discharge papers, you will be going with me please. No objection, I don't want you to go back to that hell" Derrick said gritting his teeth in anger. Nina thought he must've heard the story from Vina not knowing he's been stalking her. At this moment, she needed to get far away from her family. She doesn't want any of them to know where she will be. It isn't bad staying with the superstar Derrick right? She's ready to go through the awkwardness. Staying with Vina could have been better but it's not safe, they will easily locate her. Nina just nodded her head without saying anything. "I will deal with them, I will destroy them in just a minute." As Derrick said that, Nina shook her head. That's not want she wants, of course she's going to make her family pay for everything they did to her but this is her battle. "You don't have to involve yourself on my behalf, I am very grateful that you care and I will ask for your help when it's needed." "But for now
"Are you going to stand there and keep staring at me? Say something Nina." Vina hissed loudly.Seriously? Nina shrugged her shoulders again. "You won't let me talk." She replied simply while her best friend glared at her. "Okay, there is enough time for you to talk now speak." Vina ordered. "Yes, I will be living with Derrick but please Vina. Let this be between us, none of my family members should know about it." Vina didn't actually hear Nina's last statement, she's trying to process the first words Nina said. Vina took Nina by surprise with a loud scream which Nina flinched to. Is this lady okay? "Are you okay Vina? Why are you shouting?" Nina asked as she composed herself. "I am sorry, I can't just hold in my happiness. You will be living with Derrick! And I will be opportune to enter his big mansion, oh my goodness!" Vina screamed again. This time, Nina didn't wait to hear it.She began walking out of the room as she shook her head. She got startled the moment she opene
She despise her family so much and she will make sure they crawl on their knees to her pleading for forgiveness. Perhaps, it might be too late. The Nina they have made is different. The weak Nina has died and is replaced with another. The one her family knows nothing about. This time around, she will make sure she gets everything they denied her of, including her positions. A glint could be seen in Derrick's eyes. His Nina really want to go back into modelling? That will be very perfect! That's what fits her perfectly created body. Seeing Nina will make you think she's a model because of her endowed shape. Why will he deny her of that? This is a very big opportunity for him to bring her to his company. "Of course, I know a lot but I prefer you work in my company. We are in need of new models and I know you will be perfect for it." Derrick lied, there's nothing like needing new models in his company. He just wants to be anywhere his Nina is. Nina shook her head. That will b
If she likes, let her not come back again forever. At least, it will make him so happy and contented. Especially if he hears of her death! With the way his wife told him how deep Sintia stabbed her, he's sure she won't survive it at all. "Why are worried about her, do you care?" He questioned and Catherina scoffed. Care? What care? For who exactly huh? "I am just concerned about the fact that she will be safe out there you know, if she's here. We can easily get rid of her." She explained. Mr. Micheals thought of that and it could be true. "How about you meet her friend that took her to the hospital and ask of her?" He suggested. Catherina's mind wander back to the to reply the nurse gave her when she asked of the hospital Nina was transferred to. Its better you don't fine out because that will be your doomWhat did she mean by that statement? She shrugged it off with a believe that it's just Vina, is it Vina she will be scared of? She chuckled in her mind and nodded. She r
"Should I get you water or something?" She asked slightly patting his back. "Yes... water, thank you." He nodded rubbing his hand on his chest. Nina rushed out of his sight into the kitchen. Derrick side as he released the breath that was stuck in between his chest. Ah! That was an escape! He sat down wondering what he would have prepared to tell her. Nina is his no doubt but telling her now will make her think he's going crazy. Nina will think he's a psychopath. He quickly sat upright hearing Nina's footsteps and continue feigning his non-existent cough. "Here take." She sat down at the edge of the sofa where Derrick was seated and fed him the water she brought. "Wow! What an eye saw." Mena's voice startled Nina and the water in her hand ended up pouring on Derrick. "We are sorry for invading your privacy, we just wanted to say hi to Nina and know how she's faring now." Mrs. Xaxin said with a wink giving herself a sit while Mr. Xaxin did same leaving Mena standing with her
"Can't you at least invite me in?" Catherina asked hissing, why is this little girl trying to be more than her power? Why is LeiVina proving so stubborn? She gritted her teeth in anger hearing Vina scoffed. Brat! "Invite you into my house? So that you can kill me right? Wait, how did you know that I will be the only one in the house before you came huh?" Vina blurted without caring how the words came out of her mouth. "You..." Catherina said pointing at her with her hands clenched. "If you can't say whatever you came here for right here, then you are free to turn around and get out of my house." This Mrs. Micheals doesn't deserve any respect. Vina so believe in the saying that says ' respect is earned and not given ' Not after she her daughter went through in her hands will this woman before her earn her respect. Sometimes Vina wondered how on earth this devilish woman here will birth an angel like Nina. Like how did it happened? "Why are you so rude Vina, have you forgotte
"Calm your nerves Carena, you should be worried about yourself and not your daughters." Nelson grinned devilishly. "Why are you doing this Nelson? What has your brother and I done to deserve this? Why did you kill my husband and son?" She asked weakly. It came to a point there was no tears coming down again. She had cried a lot in a day and it felt her tears have dried. No single tears left in there anymore. "Are you asking me that? Wasn't it obvious I hate CaNina so much? I hate him and hate everything that belongs to him including his wife and children." Carena flinched at Nelson's confession. She was taken aback. "H.he is your brother, why will you hate him? He has lived his life for you Nelson. He took good care of you to the extent he neglected himself. You own half of his properties, he gave you everything you've ever asked for Nelson? What did he do to see death as compensation? He singlehandedly built a company in your name and handed it to you, what else has he not done
"Drive them away, I will meet you all in our place." their leader instructed. The rest bowed, hopped into the van and drove off leaving their leader with CaNina and David who laid on his father like a dead person with his eyes closed and finally oblivious of whatever was happening around him. CaNina drew David closer to himself protectively. "Please, you've taken my wife and daughters away. Don't harm my son I beg you, you can do whatever you want with me, you can kill me even but spare my son." CaNina said. He was already loosing a lot of blood on his head due to the hit. His voice was fading away very fast but he tried to keep his eyes opened to make sure David doesn't go through any harm.The poor boy is just twelve. The huge man standing right beside him and pointing a gun to CaNina's forehead laughed humorously. "I am just doing what I was sent to do, no amount of begging will save either of you so quit trying." With that said, the huge man poked his head inside the car, ro
"I will make him miserable, I will crush him that he will wish for death than rather being in this world. Never in his life will he harass any lady again." "Mr. Brian has drawn the battle line and we are going to fight this." Derrick replied in one breathe. The fact that he touched Nina annoy him a lot. That aggravated the demon in him as they kept growling like a wolf. Nina clasped her mouth shut without knowing what else to say, she should get used to Derrick already. It is no news that Derrick bring down anyone who offend him. Nina sighed gently rubbing Derrick's shoulder and that literally worked. It calmed him down, as much as he was still very mad. That touch he is feeling at the moment has made him calm. Mr. Arthur couldn't help but shiver, this is new! Even when Derrick got to know Nina's family were humiliating her, he wasn't as mad as he is now. Mr. Arthur thought of how much his Young Master love Nina, is that why it angers him that another man almost had his way wi
"For pushing me Nina, I was trying to be lenient with you but you proved stubborn. Don't you know? I get whatever I want. The only thing I cannot get in this city is what belongs to Derrick or his family anything else is trash." He said kising her neckline aggressively. If only he knew Nina is Derrick's wife. Nina yelled in anger, he touched her? He really did lay his mouth on her body.Without thinking, Nina gave him a slap! Mr. Brian staggered with his eyes growing wider as he held his cheeks. She didn't do that did she? He underrated this lady in front of him so much. He didn't know Nina will prove hard to get. "The next time you try this nonsense with me, I will make sure you spend the rest of your unfortunate life behind the bar or better still, you will be dead." Nina said giving Mr. Brian the shock of his life. She doesn't care if she gets fired. "I miss them." the man said sniffing. David sighed wiping his Dad's tears. "I miss them too but you can't be crying anymore,
When they were young, they'd make their pinky promises that way. "Alright big brother, I will send you the address right away." Nina replied saving her brother's number. That moment, a call came into her phone. The caller ID was unknown. "A moment Rochas." Rochas nodded still processing everything he has just heard. "Hello, Good afternoon." Nina said politely. She's been wondering who'd have her personal number aside her in-laws, Derrick, Vina and Lia. Even Mr. Brian doesn't have her number. "Nina..." Nina narrowed her eyes on hearing the voice. She knows this voice so well. "Sia? What the hell? How did you get my number?" She literally screamed while frowning in displeasure."Please Nina don't hang up on me." Sia begged from the other side of the phone.Nina smirked which made Rochas raised his eyebrows. His sister has changed so much, aside her behaviour towards him, everything else has changed. The image of this new Nina is cold, icing, and ruthless? He really needs to k
"You are fired." Derrick yelled at the lady whose hands flew to her mouth immediately. She knelt down and began pleading in tears, she didn't know Mr. Xaxin will be different from other single billionaire bachelors out there. "I am sorry Sir, I am sorry. I promise you. I will never try it again." She pleaded. "What was your offense?" Derrick asked icily. The lady opened her mouth and closed it back with no words coming out of it. "I asked you a question Miss Boise, why am I firing you?" He asked again hitting his desk loudly which made the lady flinch in fright. She have heard a lot about Mr. Xaxin but she never thought he will be this frightening and cold. His expression right now is enough to scare anyone. "Get out of my office if you can't speak." He yelled. The lady gulped down the lump that was forming in her throat as she tried speaking. "I... I... I... I... I tried seducing you Sir, I am sorry please don't fire me." the lady said in embarrassment. Derrick breathed ou
"Nina." Rochas called cupping her face as they disengaged from the hug. He rather see her first before going to see their father in the station. "I miss you Rochas, I thought I will never see you again." Nina said in excitement while she access her brother. "Well, here I am strong and healthy. I am sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me sis, I am really sorry for leaving you. I am a bad brother and I am sorry" Rochas said sadly, he never wanted to study abroad. He never wanted to work abroad, all was his father's idea. They pushed him away from the only sister his parents and sisters hated for no reason. Till now, it baffles him why they all hate Nina. Nina is their flesh and blood. If Rochas wasn't there when their mum gave birth to Nina, He'd think they adopted her but he was right there beside his Mum when she gave birth to Nina. Even if he was very young then, he could remember his mum gave birth to Nina. She was never adopted so why did they despise their own dau
"Mr. Arthur are you okay?" Derrick asked from the backseat. "Y... yes younger master." He replied nervously. If he reduce his salary, how is he going to cope with taking care of his brother's school fee? "I asked you a question and the best you could do is halt the car? Don't you know I have a meeting to attend?" Derrick asked calmly. He's just so in a good mood he doesn't want to get mad at anyone. "I am sorry Young Master." Mr. Arthur replied reigniting the engine and it roared back to life. "You haven't answered my question Mr. Arthur." Mr. Arthur sighed sadly, he thought Young Master would have forgotten about it."$10,000." He said monotonously. Mr. Arthur have to beg his Young Master to have mercy on him for any crime he might have committed.Reducing his salary should be out of his punishment. He need the money. Derrick nodded his head not sparing Mr. Arthur a glance and that worried him a lot. Mr. Arthur waited for his faith to be announced as he thinks of how much his
Derrick spoon her from behind, she rose to the feel of his hand lifting her thigh. She moaned when he entered her and together they rose for their satisfaction. Hands tangled together, mouths fused together, they rode the crest until they went over the edge together. Their cries mingled together and their breaths became one."I love you." Nina whispered for the first time and she passed out after the words left her mouth. Derrick's eyes bulge out in excitement. Sh... she just said she loves him. Nina just said that right? He felt thrice as happy as he used to be. "I love you too." Derrick replied being sure that Nina couldn't hear him. The intimate moment with Nina made him feel fulfilled. He has marked his territory, from this very moment, Nina has fully become his possession."Mine." He muttered giving her a gentle kiss on her cheeks before falling right beside her. "What in god's name made you do that Sia?" Mrs. Hilton yelled at her seething her teeth in anger. Sia sat down
