"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.

"Where have you been? What happened to you?" Derek asked Marcus after hearing his voice. He also went on to switch the call from being on loud speaker to handheld."I'm sorry, man. I haven't been all good," Marcus told him."What happened?""Was down with a fever. It had me bedridden for a few days. I should have called but I didn't even have the strength to reach out to you.""Oh. Sorry about that. I didn't know," Derek stated, his voice lower than when he first picked up the call in which he still had the mind to actually say some words to the man. Words that would definitely express how exactly he was feeling."Thank you, man. And it's fine. I'm sure you would have looked into what you sent me to do for you.""I just did.""And how did it go? Did you get the information you need?""I didn't," he said. "Remember I told you that Nadia told me she followed Kathy all the way to the Riverdale Health Centre and possibly got an abortion done. I went there now and there's no record of Cath

Staying calm was probably the hardest thing ever for Derek to do as he kept pacing about the hallway of the clinic he rushed Catherine down to.It has been over twenty minutes but he hasn't heard a single word from any of the health personnel attending to her. It made it seem like he was just there for presence's sake.He hated being kept in the dark and the doctor and nurses on duty weren't doing him any help by avoiding him. Was it a serious issue, he wondered.Eventually, a nurse showed up and Derek knew it was the time for him to actually find out what the issue or the next step was."How's my wife?" he asked the nurse who didn't look like she wanted to spare him a minute."She's awake now," the nurse said and then added. "You can go and check on her."Without wasting time, Derek rushed toward the ward where he was sure that they took Catherine into when he brought her there while she was still unconscious.He met the doctor on the way into the ward and stopped in time to have a c

"You look worn out. Are you okay?" Edna asked Derek immediately he took a seat beside her on the bench.They were right in the middle of a public park in the middle of the day. It was the timing they had both chosen to meet up and Derek agreed to it."Haven't had a decent sleep yet since last night," Derek informed her as he ran a hand across his face."Why? Worked through the night?""No," he said. "The time I received your text, even up until this morning, I was in the hospital with my wife. She collapsed last night.""Oh my. Is it something serious?""Not really. Just a result of a physical toll on her. The doctor said she'll be fine after she has taken enough rest.""That's good to know," Edna heaved a sigh of relief right after saying that. "Do you want to take a bit of time to rest your head before we talk? I don't want you to feel burdened by me bringing you out here just to discuss.""You said it was something important. Of course, I have to be here to hear what it is. Besides
