My Masked Wife Chapter 46
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
My Masked Wife Chapter 51
The truth about his relationship with Jasmine wasn't just about the fact that they were good friends. In fact, they were childhood friends and his parents and hers have always been friends as well.Derek grew up being fond of Jasmine and as thus treated her like a younger sister due to the age gap which wasn't a lot but was more than five years.He wasn't sure if Jasmine saw him in the light that he saw her but their relationship has always been healthy even with the less frequent communications these days.Derek arrived at the train station that Jasmine told him she was at and it didn't take too long for him to find her amidst the crowd of people.He noticed the look she was giving him. It was like a scrutiny as she gave him a once-over."Why are you still in the clothes of yesterday? Did you go home at all?" was the first question or questions she asked him when he was closer to her."I didn't. It was too late to go home," he told her."So where did you sleep?""At my office. But do
My Masked Wife Chapter 52
Derek's arrival at the station came with anxiety but he already knew why he felt like that. On one hand, he hoped that the officers wanted to put the man behind bars. On another hand, he was filled with the thought that perhaps they wanted to release the man. He was already too angry with life to be cheated by the authorities after he already gave them enough evidence to prove that the man actually molested Gina. He was directed to the office of the officer in charge of the case. And that was the same officer that led the arrest of the man. "Good day, Mr. McKay," the officer said when he got in, extending a hand toward him which he received without hesitation. "Good day, officer. I came immediately I got your message," Derek said. "Thank you for honouring the invitation. Please, take a seat." Derek did as told and relaxed himself into chair. He was trying his best not to reveal just how anxious he was at that moment. "So what's the progress of the investigation? Is the man goin

"Derek McKay speaking," Derek said into the phone the instance he heard the beep that indicated he was connected to a call."Hello, Mr. McKay," was what he heard from the phone. "This is the New Age Holdings.""I know. How may I help you?" he asked, his heart starting to pound from the thought of what could possibly happen."We're calling to discuss the deal that we're in the middle of with Cora Limited…"This was it, Derek thought. The biggest contract deal he worked so hard for was about to slip out of his reach. And it was all because he didn't insist when he could have."Before you say anything regarding it," he says, "I would like you to know that it was never my intention to sabotage the deal. I was only acting out of protectiveness.""Which is why we want to offer you the deal."Derek wasn't sure he heard right. "Can you please repeat what you said?""We will be offering the Cora Limited the business deal, Mr. McKay. Congratulations to you and your team."If Derek had been insi
