My Masked Wife Chapter 76
"Welcome home," Catherine said as soon as Derek got in.He didn't respond at once as he first went to take a seat. What he needed was enough rest to make him feel better as his whole body was telling that he had a long day."Thank you," he said to his wife finally.When he looked at her, he noticed that she was on her laptop. She was fully immersed in it as she typed away into the system and Derek has never seen her looking more serious than this."What are you doing?" he asked her."Working," she simply said as she continued with what she was doing."Hmph," he hummed and then stood up. "I'll be in the room.""Okay."He looked at her once before deciding to head up to their bedroom.When he got in, he took off his top first before laying on the bed, the softness of the mattress giving him an instantaneous relaxing feeling.He wished he could stay like that all through because his body needed that rest. And it was really his one way of forgetting all about work and any other thing that

The sound of the door shutting was all that Derek needed to know that Richard was now in the car with him. All through he didn't even bother looking in that direction because he already saw the man coming toward there in the first place.After a long silence, Richard decided to break the ice."Why are you here? I thought our business together was done. What more do you want from me?""That's what you thought," Derek said. "I never told you that our contact is off. You only assumed that yourself.""I guess breaking off my marriage isn't enough for you, is it?""I have no hand in that. That's on you and your foolishness. Now let's get on with what I summoned you for instead of me sitting here and listening to you whine about your failed marriage.""Like yours isn't failing…"Derek turned his head toward the man, his expression revealing an ounce of rage. "What did you say?" he asked sternly.Richard Langston looked at him. He looked like he didn't care and the manner at which he decided

Except Richard Langston wanted to deny it, Derek was more than confident that the person in the picture was Catherine and not Anne.Ever since he had the discussion with Edna which allowed him to realize that there was something Richard was hiding, he has done a little digging himself.Edna sent him the picture of the anniversary date. And unlike the other pictures where there was skepticism about the person in the picture, this one had been as clear as crystal to him.His wife didn't have her usual sunglasses on and this gave him the chance to see the face of the person clearly enough to know who it is."It's Anne," Richard said eventually regarding the picture in the phone."Anne?" Derek asked."Yes… Anne. There's no way this is Catherine. I was never with her in the first place."Derek shook his head to discard the man's words. "You may want to deny it," he said, "but this one right here doesn't indicate you being with the girl you made to play dress up. I know who this is and you

"Do you know if she mentioned something about being followed? Or maybe she suspected something like that?" Derek asked the man. He was still in the middle of getting the truth about the matter."How was I supposed to know? We never had that type of interaction. The only interaction we had was a scripted one and that's all."Derek was sure of one thing now. Catherine knew all along. She knew she was being monitored in some way so she decided to give out an act that would spice things up.The problem now was that Derek wasn't able to tell what angle she was coming from for actually doing what she did.He couldn't tell if she did it to get attention on her or away from her… Or perhaps attention away from somebody else.Derek wished he could figure that part out but it wasn't something that he could. He would have to look into more proofs to actually make sense of this new information."Just so you know, you agreeing to something like that didn't do you any good. And I wonder what made yo

"How did you get that information that you sent me?" Edna first asked once she heard the beep that indicated she was connected with Derek."I made my findings," Derek simply told her."How? You want to tell me that you just did a mild research and then got this fact?" she asked."No.""What's wrong with you? Spill already.""I met with Richard."Perhaps it was the reason he was acting all reserved, Edna thought. It would make sense to her why Derek didn't want to say anything at first about who he communicated with just to get the needed info."When?""About an hour ago," Derek said."Where?""What's with all the questions, Edna? Do you want to know what I got from him or you want me to detail how I met him and all of that?"Edna sighed. "I don't even know," she said. "Just get on with it. What did Richard tell you?"Her eyes lingered about the park that was getting lesser in terms of the number of people that were around. Dusk was about to hit and that was enough to get everyone leav

"Sorry I asked to meet with you on such short notice," Derek apologized to the lady in front of him. "I could have texted you but I don't think it's safe anymore.""It's a good thing you mentioned that because I was about to ask you why you didn't just tell me what you want via the phone." That was the response he got from the lady.The lady was none other than Nadia. He had summoned her to meet with him after thinking through his options of finding a good way out of his predicament.She wasn't his first choice but she seemed like the most feasible option. And what was left now was for him to make good use of that option."So what's the issue that you so badly had to call to see me?" Nadia wanted to know as she sat uprightly to listen to what Derek had to say. All along she was sitting very relaxed because of her nonchalance of being there with him."The first thing you need to know is that I'm not trying to blackmail you this time around…""Oh good. Then I think I don't have any busi

"Still nothing?" Derek asked, a little surprised a while after the call he put through to the man got picked."Nothing," Marcus admitted over the phone. "I've tried and tried but nothing seems forthcoming. I won't lie to you, it's a dead end.""I thought you have friends that are into stuff like this. Can't they help us out?"Derek was already frustrated as he asked that question. He hoped to get a better answer from his friend because that was the only way he could actually feel better to hold this conversation."And you think they didn't already try?" Marcus asked him. "Derek, I already told you that the line was like an encrypted one. It was going to take a lot to knock it down.I put in a lot of effort into knocking it down. My people too. But nothing came out of it. Just some bunch of nonsense that wasn't going to be useful."With his hand running through his hair, Derek stood up to think. He hoped to get a better flow of thoughts from that point as he did that but it seemed stan
My Masked Wife Chapter 83
The first thing Derek did as soon as Gina went out of his office was shut down his laptop. Then he stood up from his seat and began to head out of his office.His destination was Gina's office where he hoped he would be able to talk things out with her. Even though it hasn't been for long, he was already fed up with staying away from her.He wanted to patch things up with her. So when he got in front of her office, he didn't bother knocking because he guessed she might totally ignore him when she found out it was him at the door.Instead, he pushed the door open to come in contact with the lady staring at him directly from behind her desk.Her expression was neutral and he was glad that he didn't have to deal with an angry looking woman as he wasn't the best in that aspect."Gina, I need to talk to you," he first said as he stood by the door which he managed to close while not breaking eye contact with her."What do you want?" Her question was solid without beating about the bush."To
