Chapter 41
Derek finally summoned the courage to reach out to Edna. This was hours after he was sure Gina was stable."Why the hell didn't you pick up my calls?" Edna sort of screamed into his ear immediately she picked up his call.He had to shift the device away from his ear a bit before speaking. "There was an emergency that I had to tend to," he said as brief as possible."What sort of emergency would prevent you from just sending a text at least?""An emergency that involved someone's life.""I see," her voice went lower than before. "Did you get through with the plan? Please tell me you did."He sighed. "I couldn't—"Edna didn't let him finish his statement before she barked at him. "Are you crazy? You missed out on this opportunity after everything I went through to make this work?""Calm down first," Derek tried to pacify her."Don't tell me to calm down! Don't fucking tell me to calm down! Why on earth would you not go through with the plan when you were just right there?""Will you lis

"So, how did you find out about the scene you witnessed?" the first officer asked Derek."I received a call from my colleague, Gina," Derek started to say, accompanied by scribbling from the other officer into a note. "She wanted me to meet up with her at a restaurant where she was supposed to have a meal with Mr. Uriel but I decided to check in at a nearby hotel first before heading to the restaurant…""That hotel is the hotel you found them, isn't it?""Yes," Derek affirms with a nod."And who is Mr. Benson Uriel to you and her?""A business partner. He's an administrative head in the New Age Holdings and my company, the Cora Limited, is in the middle of a contract deal with his company.""I see," the officer stated, a neutral look mounted up on his face. "If I may ask, why did you choose to check in at the hotel first? Were you already informed by your colleague about her being there with him?""Not at all. I chose to check in first because I wasn't planning on heading back to the

'Where are you?'Derek received that text some minutes after he arrived at the coffee shop not too far from his office.It was a text from Catherine. And for a few seconds, he didn't know what response to give to it.He was drained. Pretty muvh exhausted from having to use all of his energy throughout the day. All he needed was a break.It was the reason he went to the coffee shop at first. He was supposed to get to the company after recalling his left his house keys there but a hot drink was what he needed first.He finally texted back.'At the coffee chop beside the company.''Good. Cause I'm close to your office now,' was the text he received from Catherine in return.He was going to be having company when all what he wanted was time alone to himself. He really didn't want to be with someone right now, especially if that someone was the reason for his stress in the first place.'Okay. I'll be here,' he texted back reluctantly and hit the 'send' button before dropping his phone on t

After getting his keys from the office, Derek went straight home with Catherine.The ride was unusually quiet to Derek's surprise. Although he had nothing to say to her, he expected her to at least try to make the ride worth it.Just to lighten the mood, he played background music through the car's stereo, some of which his wife hummed to.Finally, they were home. Derek killed the ignition and went down from the car, Catherine doing the same from the other end.As they approached their apartment, Derek was sure he noticed something by the mailbox attached to the door. It looked like they had a letter.He wanted to be the first to read the content of the supposed letter so he walked a tad bit faster, getting to the door in time to pick the letter from the box."What's that?" Catherine asked him as he checked where the letter came from."I think it's a notice," he pointed out."From who?""The bank…" then he looked up to face her. "Your bank.""Oh."He was already tearing open the envel

A couple of texts came into Derek's phone simultaneously. They were all from Edna. And looking at all of them, they were pictures.As he opened the pictures one after the other, he noticed they were all pictures of his wife with her manager. All shots were from different locations.Edna's call came in which made him put a stop to the pictures he was looking at for a little while."Good morning," he said into the phone with a stern voice. "Good morning to you too," Edna Langston said back through the other end of the phone."What's up with those pictures you sent me?" he asked her."All pictures of your wife and my husband together," she stated. "These are the results of what I've been getting over the past few weeks that I've been following them."He suspended the call and went through the pictures to check through them.He noticed that they were really different places and some of them didn't even look like places people of their status should be. For crying out loud, they were both

It was rough with all of the activities happening around but Derek had his eyes set on a target. It was more like he had his eyes locked on this one, ready to strike.The club wasn't the best place but it was clearly the only location that would work best for the plan he had in mind. Besides, his target sure did like the rigorous lifestyle of the clubhouse.He was almost reminded of the movies he had seen in the past when he took up the job of a spy in some sort. This was for a purpose.He saw a man sway through different bodies around, potentially finding a partner to share the dancefloor with as the DJ blasted music through the stereos all around.The man he was focusing on was none other than Richard Langston. The same Richard Langston that was the reason his wife didn't see her marriage with him as one she could endure."Jasmine… do you have eyes on him?" Derek spoke into the intercom planted into his ear. It had cost him almost a fortune just to get a pack of that gadget."I do,"

The expression Derek was portraying now revealed just how he felt. It was anger and there was nothing he could do to hide just how much anger he felt for the man.Right at the moment, they were somewhere really far from the club. This wasn't even a familiar ground as it was a hidden location that Derek had gotten ready just to do what he wanted to do.The man was tied to a chair just opposite where Derek was standing and his face looked a bit bruised from being beaten by the men Derek hired."I'm sure you know who I am," Derek started to say. "Even if you don't, from what I told you, you already have an idea.""I don't know who you are," the man forced himself to speak."Catherine McKay. That rings a bell, doesn't it?"The man squints his eyes as if in recognition of the name Derek just called."Yeah, I can see that it does. I'm informing you now that I'm Derek McKay, her husband…"The information was possibly everything the man needed to know that he was totally at Derek's mercy now.

"Are you trying to find a way out of this? If that's what you're planning to do, I'll have to tell you that it isn't working," Derek told the man who just told him about his wife being with someone else other than him."I'm not lying, sir. I once found her eating out with someone and the position I met them was very intimate. I even took pictures of them which I later used against Catherine.""How did you use it against her?" Derek asked."Since I had an interest in Catherine, I used the pictures I had to threaten her to be with me. I didn't only use that. I looked into her private affairs and found out she was in need of money and so promised to take care of her however she wanted me to," the man explained."And clearly it worked," Derek said. "I don't see how her being with another man has anything to do with what is on ground.""It does.""Then explain it to me before I hit you again. You're starting to get on my nerves!"He was calm before but the annoyance and rage of before was

Before Derek responded to the man, he suddenly recalled the notice from the bank about Catherine's late payment of her credit card.She had clarified the situation but how was he supposed to trust a woman who has been feeding him lies for months now?But then, if what the man in front of him was saying turned out to be true, it meant there was something much bigger than the actual lies he knew about.There was no way he was going to be fully trustworthy of the man as well whom he knew could be looking for a way to get out of the mess he has found himself in."I'll only listen to you if you can provide the picture you claimed to take of the man," Derek announced in response to the man's last statement of attempting to help him."I don't have it."That immediate answer got Derek confused. A huge frown was etched on his face immediately and he almost went close to the man but withheld himself."Didn't you say you have it not too long ago?" Derek asked."I said I took a picture of them to

"Calm down, will you?" Derek said into the phone as he began to step out of the room that he used to torture the man in some way. "Yelling at me won't change what I already did.""We had a deal, Derek McKay! A deal! And you should have kept to it!" Edna Langston barked at him through the phone again."I spared his life, thereby keeping to my end of the bargain. I think that's fair enough in my opinion if you ask me.""Fair? You're this close to ruining all my plans just because of a stupid mistake you just made. Did you even think it through before doing what you did?""I did," he said, closing the door of the room behind him, "And what I did was the only thing I could do before I lost my mind. You won't understand the struggle I was going through…""I've been watching my husband cheat on me with different women for several years now and you're talking to me about struggle? Do you even know how much I've put up with over the years? But that didn't make me act on impulse. Definitely no
