Nora and Cecilia asked me to wait at the counter while they went inside the supermarket. Ten minutes later, they emerged with a sparkling parcel. It was very nice with a wonderful ribbon tied round it. I wasn't celebrating any birthdays so I wondered what this meant."La-la." Cecilia said in a sing-song manner as she waved the parcel over my face while Nora walked behind her giving me a hearty smile. "We've guessed what you've been through, so we decided to encourage you with this gift." She added to her smile."Woww, what's in it?" I was eager to see what was inside, they wanted to encourage me with what? How did they know of my pains when I didn't say a word to anyone about it? Well, they guessed! They wouldn't be accurate about that, right? My heart was filled with happiness, so they were still angels to walk you through the hurdles and pains of life?"Open it," Nora gestured for Cecilia to hand it over to me. I tore the ribbon and the packaging, I felt reluctant to do so. Someone

The next morning, I resumed work at my desk early, very optimistic about my day. I was the happy researcher my colleagues had never witnessed before. They were amazed and the boldest ones walked up to me to ask what was the secret to my changed attitude. I just threw them a warm smile.At about 9 AM, I decided to go have some friendly chat with my colleagues, a way of telling them more I was no longer the gloomy Derika they knew. A very handsome young man, supposed to be in his late twenties or mid, stood by the counter, a platform on the transparent wall of our office. He looked so angelic, so muscular, so charming. I couldn't find the right words to describe him for his beauty was not of this world, among other men, he would be a shiny huge star among the darker, small ones in the night's sky. He was dressed in a black and gray sweatshirt which enhanced his muscular features. I didn't believe I could see this casually dressed good-looking guy around our office. He had seductive blue

My sufferings had just begun, I didn't take my purse else I would board a taxi off but I just don't know where to go really. It's the hardest mistake of my life to assault Caiden, tears start streaming down my face as I think of this. If I didn't do this, I'd still be working there. Now, I can't go back, I'll meet with the worst punishment.I wander off into the road, trodding on the pedestrian lane till I discover that I've traveled far, about a hundred meters. Would I continue walking like this without any destination? I need to sit and think of where next I'll go, where I'd be staying. I hadn't even picked up my phone, nor my purse either. What a foolish mistake!Venla's Plaza is near, I'm going to stroll down there and rest for a while, then think of where I'm heading to. The park is filled with very many people, some sitting on the benches, others on the ground, some alone, others with friends or family. I feel alone once again, I have no one to share my experiences with right no

Caiden POV"Albert, can we talk?" Mr. Logan walks closer into the seat opposite me over my desk."Yes, Caiden. We can, what's the issue?" He smiles at me, he always looks indifferent even in a serious case like this. "I'm so burdened by the loss of that lady, you said her name is what?" My voice gets cracked, I'm about to weep but I can't just throw up my emotion in front of my cousin, that's not how a doctor like me should behave. I need to be strong."Her name is Derika." He snapped."Don't you think we should try to contact her?" "But she left everything here in her office, this' her phone." He raised the phone in his hand. "How are we gonna contact her?" "Let's try the contacts in here, perhaps there might be someone on her contact list that might know about her whereabouts. It's a day after she left, I need to personally find her and bring her back." My heart is fully determined to do this."Do you love her? Since yesterday, you've been so worried. I think you haven't even eat
Chapter 65
Caiden POV***Two years later***Life as the CEO is depressing without the woman I love, Derika is the girl I would love to be beside me while I administer my role. Maelie has pestered me, always clingy and wanting me to give her my heart. I really want to have a girl whom I love, by my side, not just any girl. A girl who would not care for my wealth, my position, a girl who is not desperate to have me is what I want, Derika is that girl. From the way I saw her that day, two years ago, she was the typical independent and industrious woman. I have not been able to sleep well these two years, I've been crying my eyes out, having nightmares of seeing Derika dead among others. Though Maelie finally succeeded in seducing me, not only that, moving in with me just to cure my boredom, things haven't changed. "I've told you not to disturb yourself again, we have each other.." Maelie said. "Especially now I'm pregnant for you.""What!" I screamed, my eyes widened and my jaw dropped. This' the
Chapter 66
Caiden POVAfter Maelie left my apartment, she returned to her former apartment at Isle Avenue, a three-room apartment she bought for herself. I know a little peace now except that my heart still longs for Derika. I had been having a lot of dreams about getting the love of my life back but I do worry, if she will accept to work again in my company, talk less of if she would accept me as her lover. Two years had passed since I last saw her. I wonder how Derika is faring, if she has gotten another job or not. These thoughts continued in my mind until I heard the forceful push of the door, the entrance door of my five room apartment. Out of the need for seclusion, I had left my more secured mansion to live here alone. The absence of Derika in my life has created a void no one and nothing can fill except she comes back, it's as if I lost someone dearly loved to death where I'll not see the person again. The depression I've always battled with right from childhood comes up more stronger
Chapter 67
Derika POVI wake up with white walls surrounding me with no one in sight. The room is silent as a graveyard, I want to shout for help but no one would hear me, it looks like an isolated place and on another thought, like heaven. Could I be in heaven? Surely, I wouldn't be. I've been living a reckless life for the past two years when I left my job. Such mercy from God would be undeserved, what I require now is punishment. I wonder in my mind the last thing that happened to me. It came flowing into my memory that something like myself lying on the ground in a certain apartment with great pains in my chest and pleading for mercy from the man who was about to shoot me occurred, this brought me here. Who was that man? I could remember him calling my name in shock after tearing off my mask and screaming something like 'You're a woman' in shock. I sigh. I would never do such a thing if I had work to do or someone to look over me. I didn't have anyone, no relatives or friends to call my ow

I spent one day in the hospital for treatment and the next day in the pre-discharge ward where I'm required to stay until I leave the hospital. Thoughts of where I'll live begins to worry me, I remember that I have no home nor do I know anyone who would help, my friends Nora and Cecilia would willingly help but it's pretty long time, I'm not sure of their attitude towards me again. I disappointed them. All these while I thought this, I felt I was alone in the pre-discharge ward, a private room with only me admitted until I opened my eyes. I let out a gasp as I see Caiden leaning close to me, he is sitting on the chair beside my bed. "What are you doing here sir?" I find myself addressing him this way, remembering the relationship we have with each other. He was my boss and I, a staff, even now I still feel the same. He narrows his eyes in amazement as I call him that. "Why are you calling me sir?" "I find it appropriate to call you that, you are my boss. I don't know if you will g

I believe I must have fallen slightly asleep because it's 2:07 PM now in the afternoon. I look beside me, Caiden is no longer sitting beside, the chair he sat on is not here. Where has he gone? Just here, a doctor opens the door and walks in."Miss Derika, be prepared. You are gonna leave here in a couple of hours, not more than two hours." As he finishes speaking, he turns and walks out. I wanted to ask him where I'm going to from here but he's already gone. I grunt in desperation, I haven't started work yet, nor do I have any money to rent a house for myself. I wished it was already one month where I would get my salary paid, then I'd use it to get a house for myself. These thoughts of my prospective accommodation continue to occupy my mind until the door opens once again and I find Caiden walking in with a pack of something which I don't know what's inside and a single full-bloomed rose in his right hand. What are these for? I ask myself. He has a blush on his face, walking in wit
Chapter 70
"Tell me you're kidding." I drop the rose on the bed, the pack of clothes to stare at him rigidly on his face. I wouldn't want to wake up to notice that this was a dream because right now it looks like a dream. Even going close to him other than the official job he's gonna give to me is forbidden, then he talks of coming to stay with him."Sorry, I wouldn't be able to live with you." I reply in a snap, shrugging my shoulders."Why? After all I've done for you. I've paid your bills, purchased these for you and want to take care of you. I should be reporting you to the cops.""Yes, I know. Thanks. But I feel you are manipulating me by wanting me to live with you, you know my beliefs, my likes, I think I made it clear before?""Yes, but…." "Yes, I did." So you should take that into your memory! "But where will you stay?"This question drops like a timing bomb into my heart, shattering all my defenses. This is the major challenge, I have nowhere to stay, this' what I've been thinking of
