Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 15
The moment Mrs Reid mounted the podium, Derek looked at Brenda, with a smile. He couldn't help but admit within himself that the lady he married was such a beauty.Her straight, pointed and long nose was quite unique, not to talk of the lashes which were perfectly fitted and her hair, wavy and curled as ever.Even with child, she was magnificent enough to be referred to as a beauty goddess.It could be said that God made extra effort in creating her, and he was lucky to have fallen in love with her."Are you ready for this?" He asked the moment their gaze met.She chuckled and said. "Yea sure, I am. Just a bit of nervousness running through my veins." She flagged some air to her face with her right palm."You will be fine, okay! Can I ask you a favor?"Brenda had all the smiles plastered on her flawless one of which lightened Derek's heart to see her that way."After this ceremony, can we have some time to ourselves?... Just you and I?" He spilled without mincing a word.Brenda's lips
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 16
Brenda had been literally down without speaking to Derek since the previous night. He left her lying in bed, and upon his arrival, she was in the same spot except for the obvious fact from her change of clothes that she had taken a shower.She had been sulking till noon when he arrived. "Babe, are you still mad at me?" He voiced to alert her of his arrival.Yet she refused him a thousand words, while she put all her effort and attention to the phone in her hand.He moved closer, sat beside her. Her sweet fragrance whiffed past his nose that he was forced to have some intimate moment with her, which he couldn't help to hold back when he rubbed her hair, but she restricted him from going further.Shifted to the other side of the bed to give him some space."I only wanted you to get your place back, they've thrashed you enough, but I never knew it would turn out this way." He apologized further, yet she said nothing.At the height of it, he stood to his feet and said. "What would you t

Derek dashed towards his home to share the news with his wife, he just couldn't wait to tell the news.Nothing suits me better than having a job. He said inwardly till he made his way home.However, while he walked, approaching home, he saw a scene which caught his interest, then he had no choice but to watch from far.It was nothing more than a scene between his wife and a stranger. The stranger seemed familiar, but he couldn't make out where he had seen the stranger.It was probably one of those whom Mrs Reid sent to ask Brenda out, while she tells her to divorce him. As such, he needed to know his wife's reaction.He hid out of limelight behind a vehicle with his family heart pounding really hard, all gestures of the visitor seemed to irritate him and also anger him."What the heck does he think he's doing?" Derek gritted his teeth, the moment he saw the stranger bring out a bunch of roses with the intent to hand it over to Brenda."Brenda, I want you to love me with all of you… we
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 18
After tearing the letter, with nervousness, the content of the letter was enough to send some shock across her bones while she fluttered her eyes and read.D- 20 Oasis,Dominican,4th December 2022.The Director.Dear Miss. Reid.I am pleased to inform you that you've been selected amongst many to be a manager of this great organization.Your passion for fashion has shown a lot, and a great conviction that you'd definitely be a great lead for Fera.Your dedication and efforts is all that's needed to move this great organization forward.In addition to this post, you have qualified to receive incentives, and a salary of two million dollars per month.Your work officially begins on the 7th of January.

The content of the letter was quite confusing like she had gone through the process of an interview before, which she hadn't.She remembered she never shared her aspirations with

"Mrs Reid, Miss Reid has not been at work for a while now." Agatha the head of the cleaning department reported."Really!" "Yes Mrs Reid, neither did she submit any reason as to why she didn't show up." With a dismissive wave Agatha received an order to leave from Mrs Reid.Morphie looked up to Mrs Reid in confusion. "Brenda would never joke with her work, she takes it as the utmost and she believes that's her only hope. Why wouldn't she be at work? Could she have found another?""It's very much impossible Morphie, she would never find a job elsewhere, neither would the loser of a husband…" Mrs Reid said in affirmation."Appoint someone to get Brenda here, while you Morphie get the vehicle and head to the Emerald. If they don't call us, there's no harm going there as a means of reminder." Her face was covered with a devilish smile."Cassandra, don't you feel this is dangerous! The Emerald recognises Brenda and not Morphie. Morphie replacing Brenda isn't that sort of cheating? With th
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 20
While Mrs Reid waited an hour and half for a response, from the security she sent over to Brenda's home, Morphie came running in with smiles."Guess who's got a bride already." Mrs Reid turned her head in utmost confusion. She had sent Morphie to meet up for further details on the contract, how come he spoke of getting a bride."What manner of incompetence have you got Morphie? You are easily confused and do not set your mind to something." She ranted.Morphie was yet smiling even though his mom was really enraged, instead he calmly took his seat, adjusted his suit and said."Mom, calm your nerves, today is one of the best day ever for Reid's group…"His smiles were quite appealing, Mrs Reid caught some interest and got engaged."Tell me about it, how did it go?""Mom, you need not panic, Emerald is now in our hands…"Infuriated by his beating around the bush as she was never a patient woman to start with. A hit to the table and she spurted. "Spill it out now!"Morphie adjusted his sui

Morphie's character had been quite infuriating since he arrived in Sonia's office.The blabbings, not to talk of the lies, all were total bulshit.Now, he could even open his mouth wide asking to have a date with her, another nonsense she had quite faced, that day alone.To prevent more drama, she gave her word. "Fine, send me the address and date. I'll surely try my best to honor the date," she forced a smile.That's just what he has been expecting, he voiced happily. "Wow, nice to meet you, senorita. I'll make it up to you."The moment he turned around, Sonia had a sinister grin overshadow her normal expression. "We shall see. Nitwit."***"Hello Madam Yasmine. What’s the matter?” The question drew the attention of many, even the hotel staff had to rush over.The general manager realized that the rich lady in her forties was the wife of the Katz family’s Yasmine KatzAlthough the Reid's family wasn’t entirely unknown, they were still a second-tier family in Dominican. The Reid famil

Neither Brenda, nor Clarine knew the man who bowed before them. They were still in confusion over where these two invitations had also suddenly appeared from.However, Harold Katz knew this man, and so did Solomon Duncan. Who in the social circle wouldn't?His was Gage Ferguson; one of the most important and feared figures in the whole of Dominican.No one had ever achieved the aim to bring him down, as his name alone commanded respect. Gage was known to be the right hand man to the president of Primestar hotel and other leading organizations, but the chairman's identity remained anonymous.At certain events, Gage represented his anonymous boss. Even the family name was concealed.It was incredulous that he was bowing before Derek now.Solomon Duncan was dumbfounded and couldn’t utter a word. Even Harold trembled slightly.Derek was just about to step forward to receive the invitations when Yasmine cut in and snatched both invitations away. “These invitations must be fake. He’s just

W-what’s going on?The ten-odd bodyguards who barged in glared at Derek like he was a great enemy.On the ground, Perry gritted his teeth resentfully as he struggled to raise his head to look at the bodyguards and ordered, “Kill… kill him!”The punch Derek threw at his abdomen left Perry in so much pain that he was on the verge of throwing up all the food he had eaten for the past few days. The slightest movement made him feel intense pain in his stomach.For the past few decades of his life, Perry had never been beaten up like this or suffered such a huge loss before!If Derek could still leave Perry ’s turf under the siege of so many bodyguards, Perry would be thoroughly embarrassed!The ten-odd bodyguards and Perry ’s personal bodyguard acknowledged and immediately surrounded Derek.Derek smiled coldly and raised his leg to kick the bald bodyguard who rushed in front of him, sending him flying!“Ah!” The bald bodyguard let out a miserable cry as his body was propelled upward be

“No!” Perry refused resolutely. “This isn’t a small business. We’ve monopolised it in Dominican! If I recommend some clients to you, won’t I be giving my family a competitor for no reason?”Derek shook his head. “I naturally won’t run this business in Dominican and become your competitor.”After giving it some thought, Perry still didn’t believe Derek. “Your roots are all in Dominican. Why should I believe that you would leave this place and go elsewhere to run this business.”Derek shrugged. “It’s up to you to believe me or not. Mr. Perry, please get your facts right. I’m doing you a favour by asking you to recommend clients to me. To put it bluntly, the Bathhouse is in my hands now, and so are those beautiful women. Even if I take over the business directly now, what can you do for me?”Derek's words made Perry’s face turn gloomy again.But this was really what the current situation was like. Since that bastard manager had presumptuously sold the Bathhouse, Derek was the dominant p

Perry’s face was naturally extremely gloomy at this point.Derek was clearly trying to intimidate him!It was just an ordinary dice, but the power that emerged from Derek’s hand when he threw it was not inferior to the power contained in a bullet shot from a gun!Besides, the dice Derek shot had landed near Perry’s head. If Derek had intended to kill Perry, he would have probably been shot in the head by now!At the thought of this, Perry felt his entire body’s hair stand on end, and cold sweat rapidly seeped out of his pores, making him chilly all over.And Perry’s elite bodyguard was also overwhelmed with shock.As a bodyguard, he should protect his employer’s safety in any emergency situation.But the speed of the dice Derek shot out just now was so quick that it wasn’t visible to the naked eye. In fact, he only figured out what happened after hearing the terse and sharp sound of the dice shuttling through the air, followed by the loud bang.He couldn’t even react in time, let alon

CHAPTER 290
When Perry saw how bold and fearless Derek was, his facial muscles twitched a little as he gritted his teeth with great resentment and viciousness in his eyes.With a hypocritical grin, he said, “Hehe, why would I do that? Since I invited you here, I naturally have something to discuss with you.”He thought he had hidden his intentions well. But being a sharp and shrewd person, Derek had long seen through Perry.“Mr. Perry, don’t beat around the bush with me. If you have anything to say, just say it.” Derek couldn’t be bothered to exchange hypocritical pleasantries with him. He simply leaned against the couch and got straight to the point.Seeing Derek taking the lead in the conversation, Perry was displeased, and his face immediately turned dark.He waved his hand, and the few scantily clad beauties sitting beside him immediately walked out of the room.Soon, only Derek, Perry, and a burly man who followed Perry wherever he went were the only ones left in the large private room.Dere

CHAPTER 289
Derek frowned.He didn’t expect Aiden to die despite being in police custody.But there were definitely potential loopholes everywhere. If it was really the doing of the force that Derek guessed, the police would likely be defenceless and unable to guard against their actions.But Aiden’s death was not in vain. At the very least, Derek was now certain that the mastermind who instigated Aiden was more likely than not same person who sent the photographer.Otherwise, Aiden wouldn’t have died so easily.“Okay, I know.”Derek was about to hang up the phone when he noticed in the rearview mirror that there were several inconspicuous cars tailing his car. Their intentions were unclear, but he knew that they had to be up to no good.He frowned. They’re really everywhere. How annoying!He wondered who sent these people to tail him.With a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, Derek hung up the phone and quickly made another call. “Come to Clarine's apartment, I will send you an address.”Der

Derek couldn't tell who it was yet, but he knew he would find out.With a sharp and cold gaze in his eyes, Derek raised his head and looked distantly in the direction of the DC. “Hmph, I don’t care who you really are. As long as you dare to reach your hand here, I don’t mind chopping it off!”When Derek reached the amusement park entrance, he saw Clarine waiting here for him worriedly.“Derek, did you get what you went for? Did you find everything?” she asked curiously.Derek raised his arm with two paper bags and said with a faint smile, “I got them. Fortunately, there was no queue.Clarine grinned and teased, “It turns out you really are caring.”Derek smiled. He merely nodded and said, “Yeah, so you have to be like me as well. In the meantime, it's getting late, let's go home.”Clarine nodded happily. Soon, the two of them got into Lucas’s car and sped off.…At this moment, in a luxurious villa in Dominican.A young man in his twenties was reclining on a soft leather sofa with a s

Derek was still trying to figure out who it was, but then he scurried away quickly. But after covering only a short distance, he discovered that a tall and phantom-like figure had appeared in front of him to block him from leaving.“Still trying to run, huh?”The young man was flabbergasted because the person in front of him was the same person he had been secretly snapping photos of!A few seconds ago, this person was clearly more than meters behind him, yet he was standing in front of him in the blink of an eye. How did he do it?!Having been discovered and even stopped by the person he was secretly snapping photos of, the young man got a little nervous and gritted his teeth. He then barked in a menacing voice, “Why are you stopping me? Get lost!”Derek sneered and pointed at the camera the young man was holding. He asked indifferently, “You’ve been tailing me all afternoon, so you must have taken a lot of pictures, right? Did you think no one could discover you when you’re so clums

CHAPTER 286
In fact, Derek could have chosen not to catch Aiden and let him fall to his death just now, as he ought to reap what he sowed.But the words Aiden said earlier made Derek suspect that someone was instigating him. So Derek caught him and allowed him to stay alive to interrogate him and find out more from him.But the matter of Aiden taking Clarinet hostage and trying to jump off the building with her had alarmed almost all the police systems in the city. Many reporters had also hurried over with their cameras and equipment to get the first hand news scoop.In such a situation, Derek naturally couldn’t interrogate Aiden personally. He simply handed Aiden over to the special police officers for them to investigate.The chief special police officer nodded and instructed his subordinates to send Aiden to the hospital. After Aiden came to, they would bring him in for interrogation immediately.Of course, as the parties involved in the incident, Derek and Clarine had to make a mandatory trip

CHAPTER 285
Clarine watched as Derek vanished from the edge of the roof and screamed at the top of her lungs uncontrollably, “Derek!”Two streams of tears rolled down her cheeks, and she started bawling loudly, feeling as if her heart was being stabbed by daggers.In contrast, Aiden laughed out loud in great excitement. “Hahaha! What a dimwit. I managed to kill him so easily! I’m going to get rich again soon. Hahaha!”The police on the rooftop of the building couldn’t stop Derek in time and could only watch as he jumped off the building. They all shouted in horror and regret.At the same time, the crowd of onlookers on the ground also shrieked loudly in amazement.When Aiden heard the commotion at the bottom of the building, he guffawed hysterically with great smugness. Then he grabbed Clarine by the collar and looked at the ground to admire the scene of Derek’s badly mangled flesh after he fell off the building.Suddenly, there was a major change!A pair of hands suddenly reached over from the
