Derrick sighed tiredly running his hand through his hair, he just doesn't know how Nina didn't get to remember him after the encounter with her.
He was very certain she saw his face clearly but then, he can't really explain why.
She definitely didn't lost her memory because he was keeping a very close tap on her, more like stalking her ever since.
He sighed again massaging his knuckles.
Derrick's just happy that he got Nina all to himself now, that's all that matters and he will find a way to tell her about it one day but till then, he will do anything and everything to make her happy.
No one can take her away from him, she's his. His forever!
"Why are you storming your leg on the floor and looking all gloomy?"
Catherina asked seeing Sintia storming into her room.
She's been fuming since she came back from Vina's place. That brat have the guts to threaten her and she can't do anything about it.
When she gets to see Nina, she will deal with her instead. All the angers and everything she was supposed to do to Vina will be done to her.
"Mum, there's a problem." Sintia said sinking into the chair.
Her face look so frightening like someone who was bitten by a very poisonous reptile.
Catherina frowned at her daughter. What could be the problem that will make her restless huh?
"What is it Sintia?" She asked curiously.
"Nina, Nina is not dead Mum. She's back into modelling and I will be sharing the stage with her tomorrow."
The cup in Catherina's hand fell and the water poured on the dress she was putting on.
Nina? She survived that death trap and she didn't care to come back under her roof?
"How sure are you that she's the one? You know how much Nina loves you, she will give up everything for you and Jenna, even if it's her life."
Catherina assured, it can't definitely be.
"Don't you believe me anymore Mum, Nina's back. If she can get back into modelling then, she's back for us Mum. I am so scared"
Catherina thought about it but ended up chuckling. Isn't she the Nina she brought up? She will never harm anyone. She doesn't have the heart to.
"You don't have to be scared baby, sharing the stage with your sister is not a big deal. She's been out of that line for five years remember? I am very certain she has forgotten all her skills."
"And I believe my baby is better than her, you will end up stealing the show because I believe in your skills. All you have to do is to try your best and win against her."
Sintia sat motionlessly trying to make everything her Mum is telling her sink in.
Her sister is a third rated model so why is she worrying herself to death?
The ridicule Nina will face tomorrow on the stage will make her give up.
With the thought of that, Sintia smiled to herself.
She shifted arrogantly on the sofa thinking that Nina will be a laughing stock.
Sintia believe she can do better than her sister. She knows she can.
She just wait to see Nina been thrown out tommorow in shame.
~ Next Morning
Nina woke up stretching her body while making some grumpy sounds.
Beside her lies her latest brand of expensive phone. It's actually king's product.
Even the lowest of king's phone is very expensive.
How much it could have cost Derrick for the phone he gifted her yesterday.
She feel bad for collecting it from him, as much as they were going to be married in a few weeks, she doesn't want to be a burden to anyone.
She rejected it at first but Derrick insisted on her taking the phone.
She have always wanted to be independent. Only that way she can prove her sisters and parents wrong.
The new her is strong and different. She knows what she wants and she will get it.
She's not a failure like they told her she was anyways.
She threw the blanket from her body and jumped out of the bed making her way into the bathroom.
Modeling can be a toilsome job but what can she do? That's where her dream and passion lies.
She did her business in there and came out to find two maids patiently waiting for her.
One had a pair of dress in her hand and the other stood by her.
The moment they noticed Nina's present, they bowed their head in respect.
"Good morning young Mistress." They greeted in unison.
Nina cringed the moment she heard them call her Young Mistress, she's not use to such name.
They are lots of maids in this mansion that Nina wonders what their jobs are.
She haven't seen this two before till now.
"Good morning..." She trailed off not knowing what else to say with her eyebrows raised as if waiting for them to speak up.
"Young master asked us to deliver this dress to you, he said you should be clad in it."
Nina's mouth formed an oh as she nodded at them but why will Derrick buy her a new dress?
A lot of them are already in the closet.
She took the dress from the maid dropping it on the bed.
"Thank you." Nina said turning to the mirror.
She dried herself removing the the rubber band on her hair letting them fall on her shoulder.
She gently combed the hair before tying it in a ponytail.
Nina turned to the maids who were still standing there with their heads facing the floor.
Aren't there going to leave?
She paused and narrowed her eyes questioningly at them.
"Is there a problem?" Nina asked glancing at them.
They both nervously gave each other a quick glance.
"Uhmm, the young master assigned us to dress you."
Seriously? Nina chuckled and turned back to the mirror.
