"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

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

Derek barged into the living room once he arrived at the apartment. He hoped to find Catherine there but didn't see her at all.Without wasting time, he went up the stairs to their bedroom shouting: "Kathy… where are you?"There was no response either until he got to the front of the bedroom which he pushed open. And the first thing he sees is Catherine laying on their matrimonial bed in a nightgown.For a moment, he was glued to the spot, not knowing how best to react. What he could see from where he was standing didn't look like someone who was in pain or in a terrible situation.Catherine, while being dressed in the nightgown she had on, was revealing a lot of skin.The most notable thing about the way she was laying on the bed was the sensual stare she was passing to him. It was difficult to resist but he wasn't even in the mood for whatever was going on at the moment."What is this, Kathy?" Derek asked her, his tone exuding the annoyance he was starting to feel.Instead of respon

Several days have passed since his fight with Catherine but Derek hadn't bothered to make amends with her. He was hell-bent on staying away from her this time around and was sticking to it.Since the fight, he only went home once and that was to pick up some clothes that he was going to be wearing for the time being. Fortunately for him, he didn't meet her at home when he did that.He couldn't deny the fact that he missed being at his place. However to get over that, he decided to immerse himself in his work and the final sealing of the deal with New Age Holdings."Don't you think you're being ridiculous?" Marcus, his friend whom he hadn't spoken to in a while, asked him over the phone as he checked through some files in his office."Because I'm staying away from home, I'm ridiculous?""Yes," Marcus said. "What message are you trying to pass by staying away from her? You're simply making it known to her that you know about what she has been doing behind your back. I thought you said y

Derek arrived at the address sent to him less than thirty minutes later. It was a bar downtown, a location that was secluded enough for cheats like his wife.He wasn't surprised that she would meet up with a man in such a location. It was away from prying eyes and was a sure bank into doing whatever escapade she wanted.When he got there, the first person he saw was Edna who was standing beside a car that he presumed to be her own. She was standing patiently in wait and only loosened up when she saw him."You're here earlier than expected," she said, noting the fact that he showed up at a nigh perfect time."I had to. Hope they're still in there?" he asked, gesturing toward the bar they were both facing at the moment."Yes, they are. Except there's a back way out of there, I'm sure they're still in there," Edna said. "Let's go in."With that, they both went toward the entrance leading into the bar, the soft music being played in there already making its way into their ears.Once they

At that moment, Derek didn't exactly know how to feel. He was mostly embarrassed already about what he just did but there was this feeling that something wasn't right.The shock that overwhelmed him was minimal only because he already received a call from Nadia about his wife's actual whereabouts.He put down the phone, hanging up the call to get a better view of the somewhat familiar woman.Edna had joined him and she obviously saw what was wrong which was why she said nothing. She too was shocked as she looked at the woman that she thought to be Derek's wife."What is going on here? Why would you take my shades off my face?" the woman questioned Derek in a harsh tone as she moved to stand up from her seat but was held back down by Richard Langston."Richard, who is she?" Edna asked her husband seated awkwardly beside his supposed lover."Answer that question. And also answer why she looks so much like my wife!" Derek snapped at the man who was finding it difficult to say something.
