LUST LOVE: Slave To The Billionaire CEO

Derrick stares at Fiona in disbelief. He wasn’t expecting her to show up all of a sudden but most of all, he was surprised seeing her all teary with swollen eyes.

“Mom?” He calls out, standing up from the sofa. Lisa was standing, staring at the lady with a frown.

She could swear she thought it was Smiles, even though it’s been a long time since she last saw her, the look was the same until Derrick called her mom, then, she understood that it wasn’t Smiles but rather it was Fiona, his mother. The woman he’s been talking about.

“What’s wrong? Is everything ok?” Derrick asked as he reached out to her.

“Derrick, my son… I’m so sorry” Fiona apologizes as he reaches out to him, and folds his face in her hands.

“I was so lost with my taste of revenge, I didn’t know” She cries.

Derrick frowns, not understanding what she’s saying.

“What are you saying mom, what’s wrong?” Derrick was worried and concerned, it hurt him to see her cry this pitiful.

“I did it and I’m sorry, I… I am so bad and I deserve to lose everything. I was so blind, to the extent I didn’t realize I had hurt you in the most painful way ever, and Smiles, she’s angry with me… I caused it all, Keane wasn’t guilty and neither was Lisa…I did it all ” Fiona couldn’t hide it anymore.

She was losing everything, she could see it clearly. She’s lived a lonely and regretful life and she doesn’t wish to experience it again.

Giving up on her quest for revenge will make her look weak,. She prefers to do it. There is no way she will let her anger and pride get in between her and her children. Little did she know that the deeds had been done.

” What are we talking about? What did you do? “Derrick was completely clueless about what she was trying to say.

Fiona turns to Lisa who silently watches them,” I’ve hurt you so badly, and I regret it now… I can’t tell how much pain you feel and my heart is heavy, unable to handle your pain” She kept going round and round, not telling Derrick what was wrong.

” I don’t know what you are saying or trying to say but you better get to the point mom, this isn’t getting any fun,” Derrick said over his voice, tired of listening to her ranting.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Fiona turns to him, regrets written all over her face.”I… I am … the person responsible for Smile’s unsuccessful wedding. I compelled Lisa into putting her pregnancy on Keane. I swear I didn’t know she was pregnant for you, I just wanted to get back to the Warrens for everything they did to me” She quickly explains, holding on to Derrick’s arms.

Derrick stood frozen in his spot, staring at Fiona in disbelief begging her to say something else.

“You are kidding, ain’t you?” Came his low pleading voice but the look on Fiona’s face said it all, she meant everything, and she wasn’t joking at all.

“I’m sorry,” Fiona said, attempting to hold him but he stopped her.

“You can’t be serious, just go away,” He said and turned to Lisa who silently watched them with streaming tears.

“Wait!” Lisa said all of a sudden, Fiona stopped and turned to her.

“I don’t know you for real but I know all that you had to go through because of my aunt’s selfish and obsessed life towards your husband but why? What did I ever do to hurt you that you killed my baby even before she could sniff the breath of life? I am not my aunt, but you made me pay for the sins she committed” Lisa shivers in tears, as she struggles to catch her breath.

“I was so happy, knowing I would finally become a mother. Just like Smiles, I had found my happiness and eternity in your son. My life was getting better and perfect until you took away everything and left me with nothing” Lisa cries, taking two strides to her.

“I was willing to call you mother, and be your daughter but you’ve made me understand that because of my family’s wrong, I am not fit to call you that. Because of my family’s bad past, my life is completely painted black. Of all the people, I never thought it would be you” Derrick holds her from behind and pulls her into his embrace.

His gaze met with Fiona’s, there was nothing he could say. “Just go away, and never show up here, ever!” His voice was low and firm.

He meant every word he said, he’s always loved his mom and was happy to finally have her back. Buy not anymore, not after knowing she is the real cause of their pain and confusion all this while.

It hurts because he knows he can’t do anything to make her pay, so much as he wants to.

Right now there is nothing more important to him than Lisa, she is his everything.

“I’m so sorry” he apologized as if being at fault.

Lisa couldn’t help but cry more, she thought it was over. She would never get to feel this pain again but she was wrong, the pain she had been trying to hide for years now came out as if it had been piling up and only burst out now.

Gently, Derrick carries her, heading to their bedroom. Like a clingy little girl, Lisa coils herself in his arms, as she buries her face on the crock of his neck, sniffing every now and then.
