My Masked Wife Chapter 22
"From the look of things, my husband started by spoiling your wife with expensive gift items.He spent a lot on her so much that he even started neglecting the family business.Yes, aside from being a senior manager at Jackson and Sons Consortium, Richard also handles a business with me. It's a business he inherited from his parents.But it has been all my doing ever since he started his infidelity with your wife."The woman said all of that to Derek in a manner that for a while, he forgot about also being in the middle of the whole thing."You want to know why no one has heard about my husband's escapades? It's because I've been doing a good job in pretending that everything's fine for such a long time that I'm already tired of pretending.""What do you suggest we do?" Derek decided to ask, making the woman reveal an expression leaning toward hope.She sits still for a while before speaking, "Unlike you, I'm already certain about their relationship together. But Richard doesn't know

Baby?Derek was sure he heard that right. His wife just called someone 'baby' over the phone. Or could it be that there was someone in there with her?The only problem was that he couldn't hear the voice of anyone else. But there was only one way to find out.Instantly, he pushed the door open and right in the room backing him was Catherine sitted on the bed with a phone to her ear.He looked around to see that she was alone in there and it was indeed a phone conversation he heard some seconds ago.In a panic mode, Catherine seemed to take the phone off her and then stands up to face him.He could read through her expression to tell that she was uneasy. Guess she didn't expect him in the room so suddenly.She quickly walked over to him, pulling him into a light hug."Welcome back, sweetheart," she said as she planted a kiss on his lips.Derek didn't feel any bit of tension like he normally does whenever she kissed him in the past. Instead he wanted to push her far away from himself bu

The drive to the office was faster than usual for Derek. This was because he was far too desperate to get there in time.He couldn't wait to see the face of the man who put down that inscription on his office wall. The man who brought about a few conceptions regarding his suspicions.He had a lot of questions to ask him and he was sure the man would know something about what was going on in his marriage.The moment he was on company ground, he headed straight toward the security office as that was where he was told to check.His assistant was standing by the doorway into the security office when he got there."Is he still in?" he asked his assistant who nodded in affirmation."I instructed them like you told me to," his assistant said in return. With that, they both went into the office.Inside the office were three of the security men holding down a man who seemed to be in a frenzy.It was an unusual sight for him as he wondered what could be going on. He wasn't told beforehand that

Derek was this close to getting out of his hiding place but he withheld himself. The rage beaming in him was enough to get him to make a bad decision and he knew it.He kept holding the rage back in so much by the time he was better to check the man, he didn't find him there anymore.He was certain that the rage of not confronting the man would eat him up for a long time but he wasn't going to get overwhelmed by it.Instead he went back to his office to see if he could at least get one or two done for the day.He managed to survive the rage throughout the day and even until the next day where he had to present his idea behind the project they were pursuing."This marketing deal, after serious analysis with my team, has been discovered to be a potential deal breaker for the company if we're going to fulfill the goal of becoming one of the biggest on the global market.We could reach potential new clients from across other new continents as well as securing a position as a leading compa

"Mr. McKay?"Derek was this close to stepping out of the conference room when he heard his name.He turned around to see that it was the general manager and beside him was the supervisor."Good day to you, sirs," Derek managed to say, acknowledging both of them. However he failed to hide his reluctance to leave."I'm impressed with your presentation about the new project and I'm here to tell you that you can always count on the management team to help," the manager told him."I'll really appreciate that, sir. Thank you," Derek said, forcing a smile.He made a move to leave but then www stopped again by the manager, putting him to a halt."The supervisor and I are here to know what you intend to do to combat our biggest rivals, Gaston Corps. What are your plans, Mr. McKay?"It was like an instant burden on Derek's shoulders. He really wasn't prepared to hang around the company knowing fully well that there was a matter of urgency that he had to tend to.He looked from the manager to th

"Hello," Derek said into the phone after picking up the call."This is Marcus's cousin," the caller informed him."I know," A brief pause and then he asked, "What's up? Are they still there?""That's why I called. They just left now."Derek instantly found himself at a loss. "They left?""Yes. Some minutes ago," the caller said. "Heard you're on the way so I decided to call to inform you not to bother about that again."Derek found himself in a dilemma. However in order to continue the conversation with the caller, he decided to park his car by the roadside.A bit of frustration was embedded into him but he tried not to let that frustration overwhelm him. "Are you sure it was then that came into the hotel earlier?" he had to ask."I'm sure about that. They fit the description of those that came the last time.""How long were they at the hotel this time around?""About an hour? They tend to use short time whenever they come around," the caller explained.Derek was utterly disappointed

The pictures were deleted by Catherine almost as soon as Derek received them. But he already had time to know what the content was.He didn't and couldn't understand why his wife would send him such pictures in the middle of the day.Wasn't she supposed to be at work? Didn't he just get a report that she left the hotel that she supposedly lodged at with another man?To satisfy his curiosity, he decided to put a call through to her. She picked up immediately after the first ring."Why did you send those pictures?" he asked her calmly."Did you like them?"He took the phone off his ear to confirm if it was indeed his wife that was speaking. Once he realized it was indeed her, he took it back up to his ear."I think so," he says. "But why did you send them?""Wanted to catch your attention. I guess I finally did."He was confused. She wanted to catch his attention? That didn't seem like a genuine excuse."But you deleted it after…" he pointed out.It took a few seconds before she claimed
My Masked Wife Chapter 29
"Welcome home—"Derek didn't let Catherine finish her statement before he violently pulled her in for a kiss and then smacked his lips against hers.It was a sudden movement, so much that Catherine would never expect her husband to do such a thing to her.At first she stood transfixed as Derek kissed her with both passion and a bit if violence at the same time, she later found herself giving into the kiss.Derek noticed that she was already into it so he took advantage of that and pushed her down to the bed where he was a bit rough with her in the process. Catherine seemed to wince from that but pulled him to her immediately.Minutes later and both their clothes were off. For the first time ever, Derek found himself thrusting into his wife with aggression.As he did it, he kept picturing his wife in bed with another man and that thought made him very furious.He was grabbing her in a way that he shouldn't and his grip was enough to make her hurt but she didn't seem to care.When he re

"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
