Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 1
"Hey, lazy asshole, get out of bed right now!" Brenda squealed and hit Derek with a piece of cloth slung across her neck.Derek struggled to lift his face, his eyes were still dreamy and his vision blurry but he could tell how enraged his wife was.In a short while, a second dagger was shot at him. "Your mates are out there working hard to fend for their family, while you lay aimlessly, drooling.""Drool!" Unfortunately, for him, he had some drool reflecting from the corner of his mouth.Derek had spent the whole of the previous day job hunting, stuck to his side was his CV and his dusty, untidied, and worn-out shoe, with a shabby set of clothes, to which he had trekked the whole of Dominican.Going from company to company, from the big giants to the SMEs yet all his searches were futile.Everything seemed as though it was a planned rejection.Having faced several rejections from relatable companies, he switched to little restaurants, small stores, and delivery work, yet he never got

Derek's hands trembled greatly, it was Morphie, Brenda's elder brother calling.Just a feet away from his mother in law on to fall in the hands of the son.All along, Derek was sure Morphie's call would only add more salt to his injury, but which seemed better, to pick and get insulted or avoid and receive a bigger bundle of visitation?To avoid the second option from happening, which only God knew what dimension it could take, Derek picked the call.Immediately, he was greeted by hot venomous words. "Bloody asshole! What took you so long in picking up my calls? Scared that I might chop that annoying face of yours off huh?" Derek left with no choice, leaned on his chin and allowed the ocean of words to fall directly on his laps. "You've got no shame I must say," Morphie chuckled loudly mockingly and continued. "Even a lazy asshole like you is prepared to be a father huh! You've got no job yet you've got some shameless thing between that thigh of yours to put my sister in the family
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 3
Being poor was never a deterrent to recognising expensive things for Derek, the old man was dressed very luxuriously with a three piece suite that had layers of expensive jewellery glittering around It, and each one sparkled under the illuminated room.His hair was black but overshadowed by traces of white intertwined between. However, it was neatly styled.Derek looked at the man in confusion, he wondered what a big shot like him was doing with such burly assaultive men.Every single step he took screamed nothing but opulence, Derek found himself sweating profusely still on his seat.Since the whole day had revolved around Reid's being merciless with him, he thought the old man was also an avenger.When the old man kept moving forward, Derek fell to his knees immediately and begged for mercy. "Mr. I know I'm an offender, please don't kill me for the sake of my wife and unborn child. I could leave far away and never return, just tell Mrs. Reid I'm sorry, and tell my wife I love her."

"I'll answer all your questions, do not worry.""You were so little when it all happened, one more reason you can't remember anything in your past." Gage said."Your father and mother were wealthy people, in fact, they weren't just wealthy but also famous, they were known all over the world.""Everything was going well until one unfortunate day, your family was betrayed by one of your father's followers." Gage implied with a frown.His eyes held so much pain and sadness in them, the memories of the past were so vivid it felt like yesterday when it all happened."Betrayed! By who?" Derek asked.Gage stared deeply into Derek's eyes, he knew his next words would come as a shock to him. Nevertheless, it was a truth he deserved to know."By your wife's parents, Mr and Mrs Reid.""What!" Derek yelled in shock. "Y… you've got to be mistaken, these people raised me like their own child.""No Derek, your father and mother got involved in an accident which claimed their lives and the Reid's sa

"Mum, leave Derek alone, i am sticking to him and never will get married to Wendell." His doubts about Brenda were suddenly erased, but he wondered why she put up the acts when she was still in love with him.The arguments continued, and out of frustration, she mentioned her last word. "Mum, whether or not I'm not removing my baby, Derek is the father and he's obliged to know about it."That was the last she said, Derek assumed she cut the call, he opened up and walked in. "Hey Brenda," he said softly, but she merely shot him a dead stare and walked past him.Nevertheless, he followed tailing behind. "Brenda, I've got us good news."She increased her pace towards the bedroom. "Darling, can you hold In a while, and we talk?""Derek, go get a job! Go get one!" She yelled out continuously till she reached the bedroom. She laid on the bed in annoyance and turned her face towards the wall. "Perhaps this isn't perfect timing," he said to himself. Derek went for a shower and laid on the sa

It was a thing of amazement to realize who the stand-in chairman was. Instead of that great exuding aura of meeting a man as he thought, he met a young, beautiful and elegant looking lady.Sonia Stark was a young woman of great splendor, she was known throughout the whole Dominican as a renowned business lady, principled and capable in all she did.No one ever crosses her path without an invitation, she earned all of that respect for herself at a very young age, coupled with all these attributes, she earned herself a promotion as the stand in chairman, second in command that is the vice chairman.Being a pauper was never an attribute to make your sight fade off, as such Derek could tell when he saw a beauty. Sonia was charming, one of those you could call a little goddess.She's one of the great factors that has brought about the stability of the Emerald group till date.On her part, she was equally shocked to see a decent young man come in, all along she had expected to meet at least
Rise Of The Sole Heir CHAPTER 7
The recent announcement didn't take much of a time to spread like wildfire throughout the whole of Dominican. Not only that did spread, but the news as regards the nomination of a new chairman.As such all companies, corporations, groups, were willing to take part in the project. Three billion dollars! That was really no child's play for anyone.Another factor of surprise was the nomination of the chairman, with just the name Mr. B. What chairman bears such name, many had asked themselves.Thinking of it, the man is so generous to have bought the whole of the Emerald group. Every single person knew that the Emerald was not like and cost billions of billions.The new chairman must really be a god to have bought such a huge company.Nevertheless, some were willing to marry their daughter over to him just to get a collaboration.Mrs Reid suddenly gave herself a reason why the Walker's project was terminated. Perhaps the new chairman was reshuffling things and since he had no earlier acq

Brenda's announcement sent a shock throughout the meeting room. While Mrs Reid didn't give a damn about who went, all she wanted was someone going.Mr Reid, who has been quiet, found a frown plastered on his face, and to Morphie he couldn't help but mock sarcastically. "Brenda do you think you worth going to the Emerald group and bagging that contract?" Mr Reid did say. "Common girl, you only will humiliate us and nothing more, this will only add to the Reid's problem if we fail." He tried to discourage her.Brenda felt her legs losing the strength in them, she felt blood rush to her whole body in embarrassment.Everyone had practically taken her to be such an outsider the moment she decided to marry Derek. She felt if she could sign the deal, then perhaps she could have a new definition in the presence of her mum, dad and Morphie.Just as she thought about how much that could work, she found herself withdrawing from the idea, as a result of the sarcastic comments and condemnation.S

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

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

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
