Derek already received a text from Gina earlier on which described her present location. And when he checked through the location via the map, it turned out to be a restaurant close to the Kingston's Hotel.Everything looked to be intertwining for Derek. But at the same time it made his activities less comfortable.It would have been a great thing if one of them wasn't less important than the other. Still it didn't change the fact that he had to look through one first before checking the other out.However, when he looked at the time, henoticed how time had gone since he received the text from Edna that indicated where his wife was.The fortunate part now was that the location of the two destinations were close by so he could at least kill two birds with one stone.He could tell that he was close to the Kingston's Hotel already. The closer he got, the more he worried about the scene he was going to meet when he eventually arrived at the venue.Derek found a space in the parking lot o
It took Derek a while to process the sight. And by that time, he was more than ready to do something that he shouldn't normally do.His face went in the direction of the naked Mr. Uriel who was in a dilemma. Anger and hatred consumed Derek as he looked at the man."You bastard!" he screamed at the man as he took out his phone and began taking multiple pictures of the scene."Stop that. What do you think you're doing?" The man asked as he tried to move away from the unconscious woman on the bed."What did you do to her, you bastard? What did you do?" Derek barked at the man as he pocketed his phone and began approaching him."I didn't do anything to her…""You didn't do anything yet she's lying on the bed unconscious?""Don't come near me. Stay back!"But Derek wasn't listening. Once he was right in front of the man, he balled his hand into a fist and punched the living day out of him.The punch sent the man down to the floor but Derek picked him up through the neck and then dished ano
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,"
