All Mauri and Jackson were after nothing but connection. As far as you held none of the two as power and position, you are obviously nothing to them.A more reason they had an eye on Brenda. Before, she was the beautiful and untouchable daughter of the Reids, but now to all, she was nothing but trash alongside Derek.In society, nothing made more sense than holding on to the two prominent things. And what is love when both don't exist?The courage instilled in Brenda at which she proudly introduced her husband was quite alarming. No shame, no iota of disgust to prove how shameful she was married to a thrash. Derek also never found it ridiculous either to proudly announce his friendship with a chef. Yet, he had done so without batting an eye. “Derek, you mentioned Chef Miller to be your friend. Does that imply that you’re a chef too?” Mauri threw in the question that raised an outburst.Brenda was equally surprised, she wondered what Derek was trying to do announcing himself to be th

Nobody in the room even dared to take a deep breath.Derek's command had been quite alarming, but no one dared to counter it.Hunter's expression clearly begged for mercy but none were forthcoming from Derek.Even Miller dared not to disobey his order. Hurriedly, Brenda strolled towards him, clutched tight to him before she whispered."Derek, I know you really are trying to protect me, but don't you think throwing him off the building is going too far? Look, he's still got a family to take care of. Let him go."Her words were as though a veil was taken off his sight. Meanwhile Miller was close to reaching the window with Hunter in his close grip. "Let him go, Miller!" Derek commanded exactly as said by his wife.Instantly, he did as ordered. Hunter crawled towards Derek to apologize. However, Derek turned and bade Miller goodbye before leaving with his spouse and Clarine.As for the others, they wanted to leave but were stopped by Miller. “Hand your phones over.”Just one sentence fr

Derek vowed to get back at whoever was involved in the kidnapping and shared his picture to the net.That same morning, he sent Gage a message, stating that it happened to him at the Ivy club and he asked him to investigate whoever was in charge if whatever happened to him.Derek dressed up and left the house for work, only to receive the information after a few hours. It stated that Autumn was the one who orchestrated the whole drama for reasons obviously unknown.Angrily, he went in search of Autumn with the evil eye bracelet she had gifted to his wife.He dashed into her house without courtesy, after he bypassed the security men.Her sitting room was filled with people who seems to be her business partners, but he cared less about that. All he wanted was to get his pound of flesh back."Yes, my good friend Derek, what do you any here?" she leaned back into the chair with her legs crossed."Autumn, would it be good to explain why you are after my wife and I?""What are you talking a

The once elated atmosphere suddenly became intense.Mrs Reids mounting the podium felt like a sting to Brenda.She had a moment of gaze locking with Mrs Reids, everything about her breathed suspicion.Nevertheless, Brenda curved a slight smile, applauded the moment everyone also did. Then the long expected speech started."Ladies and gentlemen, most highly respected and honored in the whole of Dominican, I welcome you to this lovely gathering. But before I proceed, I'll like to open today's ceremony with a beautiful speech."Applause was all over the place, all eyes were fixed on her as each person tried to anticipate what she really had stuck for them."Well, as you all know, the Reids family are officially four which I would be so grateful for the impact every one of them had made to form togetherness as a family.There were several applause from every angle while she called out names.Smiles found its way to Brenda's face, she never expected that to come from her mum, not even at t

"What favor do you want from me?" She was surprised and curious to know what he wanted. Her brows were knotted together while she anticipated his answer."I want you to speak to your friend, she isn't listening to me. Let her understand that I still love her and I never cheated on her."Clarine didn't like him. But she never would allow anything to hurt her friend. They've always got each other's back right from childhood till date. And even if it were Derek who was willing to hurt Brenda, Clarine was ready to kick his ass."You know I'd have you messed up by the corps if you really found yourself a mistress. But now that it’s all a misunderstanding, I’ll clear the air for you.’“But may I clarify something?""Yea, sure please do.""So, if you didn't go to Ivy to find a mistress, what else took you there? Why did you go there In the first place?""Do you even know what everyone or anyone who saw you go in there would have thought?"Derek knitted his grow together first, then secondly
