"Richard was never with Catherine?""He was never with her," the lady admitted. "He tried but never got the chance to be with her because she kept rejecting him each time he made an advance toward her.""And how do you know all this?" Edna asked."Because he told me. He was never bothered to mention the fact that he tried getting her but each time failed no matter what he did."Edna noticed the edge in her tone when she spoke. The lady was clearly trying to suck in her emotions but she wasn't handling it well."How did that make you feel?" Edna wanted to know. She was trying to take advantage of the lady's vulnerability and it was working."I've never felt good about it," the lady stated. "It was disrespectful to me because he was always rubbing it unknowingly to my face that I would never be good enough for him. Of course, it hurts to know that.""Yet that didn't stop you from staying with him.""I love him. That's all that matters."Edna shook her head. She couldn't believe her ears

"Okay, okay. I'll speak."It was then that Derek decided to let the man go. But even when he did that, it was kind of rough that the man almost fell to the ground.He watched as the man adjusted the shirt he was wearing in order to look more appropriate. He also noticed the scars on the man's face which came from beating him up.Derek had never been prouder of something he had done than this."It was never Catherine," Richard finally confessed."Then why did you lie to me that it was her?""How on earth was I to admit that I was messing around with someone that I made to look so much like her?""So you're telling me now that you made someone impersonate as my wife just so you could fulfill whatever stupid fantasy of yours, is that it?""It wasn't a fantasy.""Shut up, you idiot!" Derek barked at him. "You shouldn't even have the mouth to talk now that I know all this! I should involve the police at this point."The man didn't seem fazed by his threat of the police. He wasn't surprised

"After blackmailing Catherine and not getting a positive response from her, I decided to stalk her in order to get more evidence about her relationship with that man," Richard stated."What did you get from stalking her?" Derek wanted to know."I was able to find out about her strange movements. She always left the company at noon and I figured it was the man she went to meet each time. But I never got enough evidence to back that up because it seemed she knew she was being followed and so hid her tracks well."So, Nadia wasn't lying about her going out of the company every afternoon, Derek thought. Except that all along, it wasn't with whom he thought she did it with.How was there a man in the picture that he had no idea about? Was this so-called man the reason she attempted an abortion if she actually had one?He still had to deal with the man in front of him first which was why he decided to put off the thoughts from his head for the time being."All this while, and I'm talking ab

"So terrible that you had to delete any evidence you had against her?" Derek asked."That kind of terrible, yes," Richard agreed. "Asides from being a senior manager at the Jackson and Sons Consortium, I don't know if you know that I run a small enterprise with my wife. It's sort of like a family business passed down to us.""Yeah, Edna told me.""Well, I'm sure she forgot to tell you that all of a sudden at some point, our enterprise went from bringing in huge profit for us to almost getting us bankrupt.We went from being a top small enterprise to almost getting the business confiscated from us.""The only thing she told me was that you have neglected the business and it's mostly her doing these days.""She isn't wrong about that. But before I decided to let the business go and focus on my position as a senior manager of the Jackson and Sons Consortium, we lost major deals and potential clients.Not just that, we also lost ongoing clients and every other partner that worked with us.

Night time came and Derek left the office in his car. He had all his stuff packed at the backseat and it almost looked like he was going for a ride out of the city.For the first time in more than a week, he wasn't going to be spending the night in a hotel. After deliberating throughout the evening, he finally decided it was time to go back home.He wasn't sure how Catherine was going to take his sudden return back home. He wasn't even sure if she would be home. But it was time for him to face his fears and get more facts from all of this.Just because of the fear he had in him about going home to meet her, he intentionally rode slowly all the way to the apartment.Normally, he was the type of driver that would wish everyone would be at least a bit faster than normal while not exceeding the speed limit. However, this time, things were different.Eventually, he arrived at the apartment. For about a minute or more, he stayed inside the car without getting down from it.Different thought

The next day, Derek planned a proper meeting with Nadia. He asked her to meet him at any location she pleased and she chose a waffle house for confidentiality.He arrived at the waffle house few minutes before the appointed time and got himself a table while waiting for the lady to arrive.When he checked the time on his wristwatch, he figured it was twenty-five minutes after seven. It was enough time for him to finish up with the little meeting and get home to his wife.Nadia arrived something around seven forty-three, a bit later than the appointed time.Immediately, she apologized, "Sorry for keeping you waiting. Was caught up with a task at work.""It's fine," he told her with a neutral tone as he wasn't even that bothered about her tardiness."Do they have anything chilled here? I'm hot," Nadia announced as she blew on her face with her hand."I'm sure they do. Waiter," Derek helped call the waiter who arrived in a few seconds. "Get the lady anything cold, thank you."The waiter

Several days passed but Derek still hadn't gotten a word yet from Marcus about what he asked him to look into.He was growing impatient because the lack of information was keeping him on hold from doing what he had to do to get more details on what Catherine's activities have been in general.It even made him worried that he wasn't going to be getting any news from Marcus in a long time coming.At the Cora Limited, there was an ongoing meeting that involved him and other members of the team that conducted the deal with New Age Holdings.The board decided to meet with them in order to congratulate them on getting through with a project as huge as that.Of all people in the conference room, Derek was the least interested. His private life was in shambles and he was trying to figure a way to deal with it.The irony of it all was how he was able to secure a deal but not secure his home. Made him wonder what type of man he was.Immediately after the whole congratulatory meeting ended, Dere

Being the weekend, Derek was able to take some time off to check the hospital himself. He still hadn't gotten anything from Marcus and couldn't wait anymore for him.Before leaving the house, he lied to Catherine that he wanted to meet with a business partner whereas his destination was someplace else.One thing he noticed about Catherine's attitude when he was informing her about where he was headed was that she was nonchalant about it.It was the first time he was seeing her acting that way to him but he couldn't figure out what that meant.He arrived at the hospital much later after about one hour drive. Riverdale Health Centre was largely inscribed at the top of the hospital building as he got down from his car to assess it.Finding his way into the building, he first went to the counter where two nurses could be found on duty."What can we do for you, sir?" one of them asked him as he looked around the hallway, noticing that it looked similar to the picture that Nadia showed him.
