"What! Again?" Catherine had this shocked look, coupled with disappointment on her face.Nick moved closer. "Boss wants her to kill again? I thought we are over it," he complained."Yes! He agreed not to send you on such a mission anymore. You are his daughter and not a hired killer. He shouldn't be using you like this," Catherine argued.Maribel released a sigh. "I don't want to do this but I have to. I have no choice.""No, you do have a choice, Maribel," Nick declared in a thick voice. As much as Maribel is concerned, Nick was the only man working for her that could call her by her name.Maribel looked at Nick and released an exasperated sigh. "Calm down, Nick.""I won't condone such attitude. Your father can't be sending you on a dangerous mission and you expect me to calm down?" He muttered thickly. He was angry and this was vivid on his face."Yes, you need to send him a reply and let him know that you won't go for it. You won't be the one to kill Derek. Let him send someone els

It was almost time for the dinner date with Amelia. Derek returned home to get himself prepared.Clad in a blue tuxedo, he regarded himself for a moment in the mirror.Derek wasn't at all bad. He was a very handsome man, 6ft tall and with broad shoulders. But when he was still married to Amelia, he had doubts about it.Amelia and Ann made him curse his whole existence but that wouldn't happen anymore. He was going to take charge of his destiny.That aside, he was determined to find his sister, if she was still alive. So, he had no time to get involved in a relationship.Derek took his black mask and stepped out of the room."Do you want some of your men to come with you," Thomas questioned as they stepped out of the house."No, that won't be necessary," he muttered and got inside the car.Thomas got in as well and pulled out into the street.Derek's phone made a beep sound. It was a message from Jason. He stared at it for a moment and slowly released an exasperated sigh.The message c

"Fuck you!" Robin yelled in anger and hurried forward.Yet again, Thomas stood in front of Derek, stopping Robin in his tracks.Robin regarded Thomas for a moment, as hot anger coursed through him. He felt agitated, worried, and sad. But he knew there was no way he would be able to do anything at that moment."You will regret this!" He muttered instead, his eyes brimming fire before he pulled back with his men.When Cynthia pulled back, the next thing that Derek noticed was Robin's retreating steps.He pulled back as well, though still shocked. "You didn't have to do that."Cynthia looked everywhere but him. "I'm sorry. It was the only thing I could think of at that time."Derek regarded her for a moment. "Are you ok, by the way?"Cynthia nodded once and unconsciously pulled back the rebellious hair on her face. "I will leave now then."Derek was still watching her. "I will escort you home if I must," he said quickly. "I must ensure that you arrive home safely."Cynthia looked up at h

It was impossible! Clara was Morris' daughter but Derek couldn't stop thinking about it."Boss! She's lying! Don't believe her!" Thomas said quickly.Derek watched her for a moment. It was at that moment that he remembered who she looked like. She had a resemblance that matches his mother.The way her face contoured when she looked surprised and the way her face shifted when she smiled.Yet, it wasn't possible."Leave us," Derek said suddenly.Thomas looked at Derek as if he didn't hear correctly."I will like a few minutes with her, alone," he ordered.Thomas nodded once, bowed slightly, and walked out.Derek waited for Thomas to successfully step out of the room before he pulled a chair closer to Maribel."I can see a familiar look on your face, Clara. You seem to have a lot of questions."Maribel regarded him for a moment. "I would rather ask my father, actually, because I can't possibly believe my enemy.""And what makes me your enemy? Because your father chose me to be one?""You

Amelia was still fuming with rage. She couldn't believe what happened the night before. She couldn't forget the disgrace she shared.The door opened suddenly and Ann walked inside."Amelia," she called softly.Amelia ignored her and continued with what she was doing.Ann released a sigh. "You have to tell me what really happened last night. You have been usually quiet," she whined.Amelia sighed and regarded her mother for a moment. Mr Miller was right actually. How could she leave a man like Derek and want Mr Miller? If it wasn't because of money, what was there?"Amelia," Ann called softly. "Did something really happen? Were you able to see what Mr. Miller looked like?"Amelia hesitated and looked up at her mother. "Mom, I'm not interested. Just let me be. If you won't do that for me in this office, I will leave," she warned and resumed what she was doing.Ann released a sigh and eventually walked out of the office.A soft knock sounded on the door almost immediately.Amelia groaned
