"After blackmailing Catherine and not getting a positive response from her, I decided to stalk her in order to get more evidence about her relationship with that man," Richard stated."What did you get from stalking her?" Derek wanted to know."I was able to find out about her strange movements. She always left the company at noon and I figured it was the man she went to meet each time. But I never got enough evidence to back that up because it seemed she knew she was being followed and so hid her tracks well."So, Nadia wasn't lying about her going out of the company every afternoon, Derek thought. Except that all along, it wasn't with whom he thought she did it with.How was there a man in the picture that he had no idea about? Was this so-called man the reason she attempted an abortion if she actually had one?He still had to deal with the man in front of him first which was why he decided to put off the thoughts from his head for the time being."All this while, and I'm talking ab

Night time came and Derek left the office in his car. He had all his stuff packed at the backseat and it almost looked like he was going for a ride out of the city.For the first time in more than a week, he wasn't going to be spending the night in a hotel. After deliberating throughout the evening, he finally decided it was time to go back home.He wasn't sure how Catherine was going to take his sudden return back home. He wasn't even sure if she would be home. But it was time for him to face his fears and get more facts from all of this.Just because of the fear he had in him about going home to meet her, he intentionally rode slowly all the way to the apartment.Normally, he was the type of driver that would wish everyone would be at least a bit faster than normal while not exceeding the speed limit. However, this time, things were different.Eventually, he arrived at the apartment. For about a minute or more, he stayed inside the car without getting down from it.Different thought

Several days passed but Derek still hadn't gotten a word yet from Marcus about what he asked him to look into.He was growing impatient because the lack of information was keeping him on hold from doing what he had to do to get more details on what Catherine's activities have been in general.It even made him worried that he wasn't going to be getting any news from Marcus in a long time coming.At the Cora Limited, there was an ongoing meeting that involved him and other members of the team that conducted the deal with New Age Holdings.The board decided to meet with them in order to congratulate them on getting through with a project as huge as that.Of all people in the conference room, Derek was the least interested. His private life was in shambles and he was trying to figure a way to deal with it.The irony of it all was how he was able to secure a deal but not secure his home. Made him wonder what type of man he was.Immediately after the whole congratulatory meeting ended, Dere

"Where have you been? What happened to you?" Derek asked Marcus after hearing his voice. He also went on to switch the call from being on loud speaker to handheld."I'm sorry, man. I haven't been all good," Marcus told him."What happened?""Was down with a fever. It had me bedridden for a few days. I should have called but I didn't even have the strength to reach out to you.""Oh. Sorry about that. I didn't know," Derek stated, his voice lower than when he first picked up the call in which he still had the mind to actually say some words to the man. Words that would definitely express how exactly he was feeling."Thank you, man. And it's fine. I'm sure you would have looked into what you sent me to do for you.""I just did.""And how did it go? Did you get the information you need?""I didn't," he said. "Remember I told you that Nadia told me she followed Kathy all the way to the Riverdale Health Centre and possibly got an abortion done. I went there now and there's no record of Cath

"You look worn out. Are you okay?" Edna asked Derek immediately he took a seat beside her on the bench.They were right in the middle of a public park in the middle of the day. It was the timing they had both chosen to meet up and Derek agreed to it."Haven't had a decent sleep yet since last night," Derek informed her as he ran a hand across his face."Why? Worked through the night?""No," he said. "The time I received your text, even up until this morning, I was in the hospital with my wife. She collapsed last night.""Oh my. Is it something serious?""Not really. Just a result of a physical toll on her. The doctor said she'll be fine after she has taken enough rest.""That's good to know," Edna heaved a sigh of relief right after saying that. "Do you want to take a bit of time to rest your head before we talk? I don't want you to feel burdened by me bringing you out here just to discuss.""You said it was something important. Of course, I have to be here to hear what it is. Besides
