**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
Throughout the intro ceremony which is designed to last for one hour, Derek is not himself. It's good that he is not the one introducing himself, least he would fumble over words. Eloine is. Because of the surprise promised him, he reduces the time of the introduction to thirty minutes, he believes that the over thirty staff members here would be able to say just their names and the position they hold in that thirty minutes. It's possible except for the fact that their duties can't be elaborated for Derek to understand, so he asks them to join together and compile a memo which will have all of their duties, specialization and future goals for the company, forward it to Eloine who will then pass it on to him. They agree on this before the meeting comes to an end. Immediately they disperse from the hall, Derek sits back with Eloine to question him on the surprise. Jaria sits with them, but a little bit far doing her thing. She isn't interested mingling with them any longer. "It's you
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
Derek wanted to begin his first day at work today but because of Jaria's condition, he can't continue with his goal. He follows the ambulance taking her to the hospital in his car, with only Eloine.The journey to Lincoln Teaching Hospital becomes a very troublesome one for him, as he gets so anxious, he feels like a part of him has gone away from him, this he didn't realize when he was with Jaria.Ten minutes later, they arrive at the prestigious hospital which is graded as third best in America, with Specialist and General Department, and the most qualified doctors in the States.The medical attendants come forth with stretcher to take Jaria inside. In Derek's eyes, it seems like she is dead but she isn't, the anxiety and tension would not let him know what's happening around him.Eloine taps his boss on thr shoulders, for several times before he raises his head to look at him. "What's it Eloine, at this point?" "Derek, your wife is calling you." He sighs, turns his face away from
Derek gives his number to the receptionist at the counter of the VVIP session of the hospital which is located at the third floor, then he places a phone call on Eloine who at the time is playing some video games on his phone to soothe himself and reduce tension. He picks readily upon seeing that it is his boss. He wouldn't call if there's nothing really important. As he quits the game, tension which had existed before seizes him but he manages to speak without sounding nervous. Derek is close to him and whatever character he exhibits would affect him. "Derek, what's going on? Any news about Jaria, I mean positive because I'm almost dying here, bad news will totally kill me. "No, nothing about her. I'm actually returning to the estate to have some rest. It's said that she would be up in the next three to five hours and I can't wait her until then even when this place, the lounge rooms are like heaven and all the facilities are there." " I need to go and lay on my bed, I need to see
Dawson, his grandfather knew about most of what he demanded to know but he wouldn't let him know since he didn't want him to relate with his mom. From what Meline had told him, his grandfather hates her to death and if she wasn't cautious enough to heed to his threat, she might have been killed because he doesn't jokes with his word, especially when it has to do with an enemy. "Mom, why does grandpa hate you so much?" He recalls asking. His mom went mute for a moment, the next second tears began to flow from her eyes, she sniffs, after using the back of her palms to wipe the tears away. "I was actually cheating on your dad, not sexually but financially though. I met on F******k a richer man, from Dubai, the one I'm currently married to and we started dating but we didn't do anything sexual until we got married. I think this is what broke your dad's heart and killed him. He died of a heart attack a month after I got married to this man. He took me here, when you were a little child an
Derek sleeps peacefully for three hours, before his phone rings. Eloine is in possession of it, he had left it with him so that anytime the receptionist who had gotten his number calls, he would pick and then come over to call him. He was afraid that he might not hear her call prior to the intensity of his sleep. Eloine knocks, opens the door and comes right into his room where he taps gently on him to wake up as it's time. "What's it?" He asks with sleepy eyes, to see clearly, he runs them with the back of his palms. "Yes?" Eloine chuckles at his reaction. "So you actually slept that deep? I slept but not as deep as you." "What's going on? Can you tell me or leave my room? Stop disturbing my sleep!" He tells him , making him puzzled. He stretched forth his phone, only then does he remember why he is here. "Oh no, I'm so sorry for yelling at you. I forgot I asked you to come call me whenever the lady calls." He groans and rises up on the bed. "I hate to be disturbed while asleep.
Derek wanted to be emotional with her to gain her attention and also make her know that he really sympathies with her but when this rule played in his head, he refrained from it. It might lead them back to the past where she was insolent and not reverring that he is her boss."Can I touch your face?" He asks her, she keeps mute. Then he looks straight into her face, it's screaming yes, but her mouth is sealed. Now he has to decide if to follow her external expression or what her heart is saying.But he wants to stick to boundaries and not do anything she wouldn't like. "I never thought you could be so disappointing," she shifts her hand closer and closer to him, until it's together, then she grabs it gently.Derek loves this gesture but upon looking at her face, she is screaming hate and revenge. He shrieks in horror. "How could this be?" He asks himself, that she was caring and loved up but her face was the dangerous one."I don't get you, what do you mean?" He asks her. "How did I d
