On the other hand, Derek wasn't comfortable, he felt something was amiss. He knew Brenda as the back of his palm, and she would definitely not go out by that time of the night.His instinct deep down, could tell that something was definitely off.However, considering the instruction she had given as regards not following her, he got confused on what to do. He didn't want to get on her bad side, and at the same time, he was worried. But he made a decision, after almost an hour, he decided to follow her up, damning any consequences.Immediately, he got in a vehicle, tracked her phone, after which he drove as fast as he could, and rapidly weaved through the traffic. It took him less than thirty minutes to reach the Avery Media office building.It had been more than an hour since Brenda had left.He had tried her phone several times and he couldn’t reach Brenda on the phone, so he didn’t know if she was currently safe.If anything really happened to Brenda, he would definitely make everyo

At that point, even after Derek escaped with the unconscious Brenda slung across his neck, he was never comfortable taking her to his home, but then he thought of taking her to his home.However, putting several issues they had into consideration, he decided to instead lodge with her into a hotel.He wanted to see her wake up in his presence, but definitely not in her home where those riff raff could go for her.A crucial consideration was the fact that there was once a misunderstanding between them when he tried protecting her, and at that time, he wasn't sure either. Yet that didn't stop him from protecting her.Immediately, he placed her in his vehicle, buckled her seat belt to make her much more comfortable. He was about closing the door when he noticed a lone tear drop from the corner of her eyes. And in that moment, he felt guilty all over again.Deep down he knew there was a lot Brenda was going through and he blamed himself for it all.He moved closer to her, placed his palm

"Dad! You slapped me! Why?" Sam's father was dumbfounded by the sudden slap, and it took him a long time to react. He clamped his hand against his mouth and then, he exclaimed, “Dad, why did you hit me?! I am a victim for crying out loud! That riff raff almost made me lose my life. You are supposed to support me instead of hitting me."Emilio however scoffed and said coldly, “Hit you? I really wish I could strangle you to death! You son of a bitch, tell me, what have you done out there?! You know nothing more than causing trouble, then you end up bringing all back to me…" he paused before he continued. "You could remain silent if you have a death wish but if you do not, then start talking now!"Mr Solano was naturally displeased. “What could I have done dad? I did nothing at all. You need to trust me. I would never in my life try to disappoint you." "This isn't your first, so keep talking right now, let me know where you pulled the wrong button before you end up wrecking all that I e

When Brenda heard what Derek said, her face was full of shock. All of a sudden, Brenda was flustered. She only raised her head to say to Derek apologetically after a long while, “I… I am sorry to disappoint you Derek, but honestly speaking, I really don't feel attached to you anymore." she saw his gaze fall but then she placed her palm on his and said. "For now Derek, I wish to achieve so many things, before you know! Getting hooked on anyone again."She noticed his expression was still pale and then she said again. "Back then, we were so young and deeply in love, Derek. I don't think we knew where we were going yet. But it's different now, who knows if fate chooses that we end up together then we would."Derek shook his head and said softly, “It’s okay. It’s my business that I like you. You don’t need to feel pressured. Just treat me as an ordinary friend. But I'm not forcing you to fall in love with me at all, don't get me wrong."At Derek’s kind and understanding words, Brenda wa

As soon as Mrs Reid saw Brenda and Derek enter, she immediately turned gloomy.“If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it. Leave immediately after you finish,” Mrs Reid said coldly without hiding the disdain she had for them.Although Brenda had already prepared herself for this, she still felt rather uncomfortable.She had always respected Mrs Reid even though they had their differences, but then she was hoping that she would have really changed in the last few days.As thought, she was cold and indifferent toward her as though they were strangers, and of course, even more distant than strangers.Bearing with the unhappiness, she courageously said. "Mrs Reid, do you have any knowledge that your son was willing to talk me into signing an agreement with Avery Media in the name of Reid group?"Mrs Reid was shocked to hear her words. Her tongue was stuck to her throat. Truly she never knew about it, but then in the faze of supporting her loved son, she thought about something. “Th
