"The problem now is that the description you just gave to me seems to be matching with a lot of male colleagues in the company. So if you could be more specific…"Derek frowned almost instantly. For a moment he thought he was going to uncover the truth about his wife's infidelity but he has just been sent back to another route."You're telling me that you cannot just think about someone that matches that description without me giving you a full explanation?" he quizzes."Well, there's Philip, there's Arnold, Benjamin, Roland and more of them. I just need more details on that," she clarifies.This is no use, he says to himself inwardly."And there's no one else with a similar nickname to my wife, right?""There are similar ones but not the same type with Kathy's.""You can leave now. But I'll be in touch with you. And you had better pick my calls whenever I reach out."Without even waiting for her to say anything, he turns around and then walks up to his car which he got into and drove
My Masked Wife Chapter 15
Catherine had just slapped Gina across the face to Derek's surprise. He didn't even see that coming. "You slut!" Catherine points a finger in the direction of the bewildered Gina. "You think you can take my husband from me, right? It's not possible. Not when I'm still his legally wedded wife!" "Ma, I think there's a misunderstanding. Your husband was just trying to—" Gina tries to explain but was cut short. "Spare me the crap. And this is a warning to you. Stay away from my husband!" "Kathy, what are you doing?" Derek asks his wife. She faces him instantly. "I can't believe you've been suspecting me of cheating on you when it's what you've been doing all along!" "But this is just a misunderstanding. I can promise you that's it not what you think." "It's not what I think? Oh really? I caught you right in the act and you say it's not what I think?" He couldn't believe this. How could the tables turn all of a sudden? Initially it was him accusing her of infidelity and now it has

He stared at the phone, letting it ring without bothering to pick it up.He couldn't pick it up now when his wife was beside him. He had to find a chance to get alone.And by the time the the call ended, he glanced in the direction of Catherine to see her staring at him weirdly.The phone rings again and without even staring at the screen, he silenced the phone before switching it off. "What's stopping you from picking your call?" Catherine asks from beside him. "It's not important," he says, trying as much as possible to keep his focus on the road ahead. Fortunately, she doesn't say anything else and neither did she bring up the matter of what happened in his office. The ride all through was a silent one and he couldn't be more than grateful for the temporal peace, knowing how complicated he still found himself. Not too long after, they arrived at their destination. Except it wasn't their home. "What are we doing here?" Catherine had to ask upon sighting that they were packed i

The instant they arrived home, Catherine didn't wait before heading in first. Derek could only watch, knowing she was still unhappy with him.He followed her from behind until he got inside their apartment. Once he saw that she was attempting to ascend the stairs, he decided to speak."You never told me how the party went…"Slowly, Catherine turned around to look at him. "What party?" she asks."Your company's?"At first, she passes him a suspicious look as if trying to gauge the reason for his question. But she switches after being unable to gauge anything from his reaction."Didn't we talk about it already?""Not everything," Derek said in return, hoping she wouldn't see through the fact that they never even discussed anything related to a party in the first place."We did have a party. And it was okay, I guess?""What type of party was it?"She shrugs. "The kind that a company hosts. There were a whole lot of businessmen in it and I couldn't even keep up with the whole thing."It w

The next day, Derek arrived at work early. He hadn't even settled in fully when Gina came into the office with his assistant. At first, he thought she was going to vent on him after yesterday's occurrence but insteead but what she says tells him otherwise. "I would like to be part of the project group," Gina announces to Derek. "Me too, sir," Derek's assistant chips in as well. Derek looks from Gina to his assistant almost at once with the hope of understanding the reason toward their sudden interest in the project assigned to him and his unit. "Why are you both interested in it?" he had to ask. "You both realize it's a marketing deal that could increase our company's potential in the global market?" "After discussing, we both see it as an avenue to contribute immensely toward the growth of the company. What other way than helping to secure the biggest marketing deal?" Gina responds to his query. "Are you sure you both are down for the stress that comes with it?" "A hundred per

The video fit the description of what Marcus had given him about the scene he saw at the hotel.Right in the video was a tall man with a great physique and not like those chubby rich men that Derek thought he would find in the video. And in the video, the man was with a woman who in no doubt was his wife.Derek recognized the man. He was a manager in the company Catherine worked and he has seen him different times during conferences that he attended with his wife.The woman in the video, although with a pair of sunglasses, had the stature of Catherine. Her face wasn't showing very much due to the angle of the camera but it was enough for Derek to make out his wife from it.From the video, Derek could see both his wife and the manager heading into a room and this riled him up.He could feel himself losing control. He was furious and right now, he wished he could see the manager and kill him with his bare hands."This won't help me," he said to himself after regarding how much evil thou

"What is it?" Derek asked with a reluctant voice. He knew his day was about to be worse than it was already but he wasn't ready for it."Every day at noon, she leaves the office to go to God knows where. And she spends about roughly two hours out. Each time I ask her, she says she's heading out for an important briefing," Nadia explains."Important briefing? How long has this been going on?""For about a year now, I guess. It's been way long now."He had never heard Catherine mention anything about an important briefing in the afternoon. And knowing it has been going on for a year now made it more suspicious.Due to the limited workload in his job, he spends some time at home whenever he wants to and he has never seen Catherine home in the noons during those times.This meant something. And that means it was something else he had to add to his list of suspicious activities from his wife.He had a way he could get an hint about her afternoon activities and all he had to do was get home

It took a while before Derek decided that it was time he called the strange line that reached out to him.He was skeptical even as the phone rang in his ear and the first thing he heard when it was picked from the other end was the voice of a woman."Hello," the voice called out to him.In a calm voice, Derek responded, "It's you, isn't it? The one who's been sending me all those texts?""Yes," said the voice."In your last text, you called 'him' your husband. Who exactly is your husband?""Your wife works at Jackson and Sons Consortium, doesn't she?"That was a question to his question but he answered nevertheless: "She does.""And her senior manager is Richard Langston, right?""Correct.""Well, I'm Edna Langston, Richard Langston's wife. And like I told you in the text, I know about your wife's dirty business with my husband."That information as a whole made Derek believe that he was getting somewhere with the whole clarification about the caller's identity.Even with all that, he

"What are you talking about?" Marcus asked, his expression a mixture of confusion and surprise."You know what I'm talking about. Stop acting like you don't," Derek said."Well, I don't. And I'll be leaving now before you consume me with your bullshit.""The past two weeks made me realize something, Marcus. And it's the fact that your enemies are actually the ones closer to you. You have been my enemy for but u didn't know all these while.""Did you drink something? Why are you speaking nonsense? And since when did I become your enemy?"Derek stood up, facing the man directly. "That's a good question… When?""Can you two sit your asses down and explain to me what is going on here?" Catherine said to them, almost screaming at them.Derek looked at the woman. "I haven't said you should talk," he told her."And since when did you get to give me how and when I should talk?""Since I found out that my allegation against you has always been true."Catherine wasn't getting a hang of what was

As Marcus was reluctantly finding a way to get in between the couple, Catherine, who still had a frown etched on her face, whispered to Derek."What is he doing here? I thought it's supposed to be just you and me," she said with a stern tone."I know I said that. But Marcus is just here to join us briefly. I can promise that his stay here won't be for long then we can have the time to ourselves," Derek told his wife.Catherine wasn't buying that. And she was this close to telling him to send Marcus away when the man eventually came back with an empty chair which he placed in the middle of the couple.Marcus took a seat but was still confused about what was going on because this wasn't what he had in mind when he got the invitation from Derek to show up at Kingston Hotel."What's going on here, Derek? Why is there a cake on your table? Is it someone's birthday?" Marcus directed the question to Derek while trying to make a guess.He couldn't deny that he noticed the hard stare Catherine

"I'm home," Derek announced as soon as he got into his apartment. "Where are you, Kathy?" he called out as he went to take a seat just so be could relax himself."I'm upstairs," was the response he got from his wife to which he nodded."Alright, I'm coming."Two minutes later, after getting a cup of water, he was on the way to their room upstairs with his briefcase in his hand. He was sure that the woman would be busy when he gets there and it was no surprise that she was on her laptop when he got there.She was sitting close to where the mirror in the room was and he watched her from where he was standing, seeing that she was typing into her laptop. There was also a document on her laptop which she kept glancing at occasionally.He dropped the briefcase on the bed and then took off his jacket which he also placed on the bed. Then he walked over to her, standing right behind her.In that position, he bent and put his hands around her waist. "What are you doing?" he asked as he whisper

"How did it go?" Derek asked the lady who seemed to be more interested in the ice cream she was consuming than him."How did what go?" Gina asked in return as she scooped a mouthful from the cone. As the cream melted down her mouth, she felt a sensation that made her giggle without a care in the world."Now that was weird," Derek stated but then got back to his question. "How did the meeting with Eugene go? Was he able to convince you this time around?"Gina wanted to take another scoop from the ice cream when she heard that question which then put her to a halt."Hmph, of course not. I already told you that I wouldn't be accepting his offer, didn't I? It seems like you forgot to relay my message to him," she said and then got back to her ice cream.At that point, Derek was getting annoyed with how immersed she was in it. He just had to hold in his annoyance lest he snaps at her."I did relay your message but it was too late for him to turn back," he told her."So you mean you just to

"I think it would have been better if you had called me before coming over to the company. What if I was away? It means you would have wasted a full trip down here," Derek said in a scolding manner to the woman sitting opposite him.Edna didn't care about what he was saying and she revealed that completely through her expression. It was as if she just wanted him to talk and then get through with it."At least I met you in, didn't I? I don't understand why you're making a big deal out of it," the woman said.Derek didn't respond to that, perhaps worried that he was going to speak out of line if he did."So, why did you reject my offer? You had a long time to decide and at the end of it, you said no. There has to be a reason. And it had better be a good one."He sat there quietly for some time before he finally decided on saying something."It doesn't feel right, Edna."The woman's gaze at him was a mixture of stern and confusion. "What doesn't? Owning a business or my offer?" she asked

Derek felt a little tired as he walked back into the Cora Limited after having lunch at the eatery down by the road. It was supposed to be his go-to place whenever work got overwhelming but today was just different.He just wanted to try something different other than skipping meals or simply just having something little in the company's eatery which only made light snacks.He knew that having a meal at his go-to eatery would affect his work rate but he was willing to risk it.A honk from a car caught his attention right after he passed by the parking lot. He was sure that it was for him which was why he turned around to find out which car had honked at him.It didn't take him too long to find the car as well as the person who operated it. And right out of that very car, Eugene Leviathan stepped out, looking all smiley like there was something good he wanted to talk about."Mr. McKay. Good to see you again," Eugene Leviathan said to Derek like it was the first time he was seeing him i

"Who's that again?" Gina asked, trying to rack her brain for any information related to the name Derek just told her."The ex-wife of Richard Langston," Derek responded."Wait, isn't that the man that you thought was having an affair with your wife?""Yes.""Oh. So when did you get this close to his wife so much that she offered you her business to handle?"The way Gina said it made it seem like he was having an illicit affair with Edna and that didn't look good at all."Ex-wife, Gina. They are divorced now. And the way you say it, it sounds like I'm doing something wrong with her.""I never implied it that way. You're the one with the ideas here," she defended herself."Whatever," he said. "Edna and I kept in touch after we both realized that we were chasing the wrong thing. But it didn't change the fact that her husband was a chronic cheat.Anyways, their business was handed over to her by the court but she doesn't want to be around here anymore which is why she wants someone else t

The sudden sound of something slamming on to his desk knocked Derek out of his thoughts. It came as a shock, that for a few seconds, he couldn't get a hold of himself."What did you do that for?" he asked through gritted teeth. He was furious at the person that did that just to get his attention."I've been calling your name but you didn't hear me." He heard Gina's voice and that meant she was that person."Well, you should have called harder."He had to put both hands over his face just to take out the wobbly feeling that had overwhelmed him from the shock.He was still furious at that point. If it had been someone else other than Gina, he would have taken his frustration out on the person. He could only keep his rage to himself because of her."I'm sorry," Gina apologized. "I shouldn't have done what I did but I was getting scared when you didn't answer which was why I resorted to that."He looked up at her. "What happened to tapping me, Gina? Wouldn't that have been much better?""

"You do realize it's my weekend you're consuming," Derek pointed out to Jasmine who was dragging him."I know," she said. "But there's no one else I could call."She came to his place that afternoon and told him that she had an event to attend but didn't have anyone to go with which was why she decided to come to his place.He had declined the offer at first but she kept insisting and even resorted to pulling him out of the house. If Catherine had been home, the sight wouldn't have been pretty.At one point, when they were about to get to his car, he pulled his arm out of her reach."I can't follow you," he told the lady who turned around to face him."But why?" she asked with a pout."I've got to go to work tomorrow, Jasmine. I can't afford a day out at this time when I should be resting.""And I'll be out of the city by tomorrow too. Let me have this, please."Her emphasis on the 'please' was a bit infuriating due to the way she made mention of it. It was as if she wanted to do anyt
