Even the audience were patiently on edge while they ogled over the game between Draco and Derek with kin expectation.However, they all knew who the winner would be, so they felt Derek was only buying time but insisting on continuing the game.Each move of the chess pieces felt like a stab to Brenda’s heart, and each time, she felt like offering Derek a slap out of the seat.Another time she's looking at him as a senseless person after a long while.Although she barely knew about chess, but she was familiar with some basics and could tell with the way Draco played that he was an experienced player.His moves although calm, but they were brisk and quick.It gave only one meaning. 'Victory was surely in his hands.Painfully, she found it hard to warp her mind around the reason why Derek would accept to such challenge at first. Even after several warnings from her.She crossed her hands to he chest nervously, as she thought.‘Initially, it was much easier to settle the matter. I would’ve
Brenda's eyes fluttered twice in surprise. "Mummy!" In a split of seconds, Brenda could hardly believe her ears. For the first time in many days, she referred to her as mum.'I'm I not her biological daughter? How can she not close an eye to my misery, not even care about my survival and even spout such words?’“Mom, don’t you think you’re going overboard with your words?” Brenda was pushed to ask.Brenda painstakingly said after listening to those harsh words come from Mrs Reid.Immediately, Morphie roared in objection.“Overboard? Brenda, watch how you’re speaking to mom. Was she wrong about what she said earlier! I doubt if she was.Obviously from the very beginning, it was you who decided to create this trouble for the Reid family. Do you know how many families in Dominican look down on us because you married this piece of trash?”“Brenda, you were clearly betrothed to Kaden, but you chose to marry someone else. Don’t you think it’s your fault that you offended the Smiths and
The closer Autumn got, the more choking the fragrance seemed to be to Derek.The fragrance emitted a sweet smell of strawberry odor, which was quite Intoxicating and strong enough as it nearly threw Derek off-guard as he got dizzy.As much as he tried to split the eyes open, the more blurred his visions got constant and stronger, that he almost lost a total control of his mind.At intervals, he shook his head, while he tried to break free of that pain.Whereas Autumn had a sweet amile plastered all over her face. She chuckled wickedly and finally found her way to sit beside him.Initially, the pair had been sitting opposite each other. But with Autumn, right next to him, it was inevitable for the pair to touch each other.“Auntie Autumn what have you done to me?" Derek stubbornly clasped his head in between his hands to get a total control of himself.Autumn chuckled mockingly, lifted his chin wiry a finger and sneered. “What’s wrong? Aren’t we relatives? Why do you mind?”Hurriedl
The manager of Tesla motors was taken aback, same as everyone else in the showroom.No one had ever believed in their wildest imagination that Derek who was being spoken of as a good for nothing son in law could find his way to a whole Tesla showroom without shame.All gaze were fixed on him in disdain, even the manager who was earlier on nice, drew across his brow creases in disgust.In the next minute, he took no time before he metted out the next order."With due respect, sir, leave! Now!”Derek also had never in a million years expected that the manager who had been very kind and friendly just seconds earlier attempt to chase him away after getting his identity linked to be the Reid family’s son-in-law.Derek was thrown into a slight daze, hence as much as he tried to recall the statement he got glued to a spot." Are you deaf! Nuisance!" Another degrading word fell from the manager.Derek straightened up his clothes, took the courage to speak out.'It's not right to treat people
One thing settled, the next was obviously getting real convincing evidence for Brenda.Before he purchased the vehicle, he thought he would eventually make up something tangible, but now his brain was just as empty as something else.Derek knew his wife well, she's so intelligent and wouldn't just fall for anything over this, except it's quite concrete.Brenda hummed and walked out to have some air at the balcony.She had barely settled at the balcony when she spotted the Tesla vehicle parked in front of the house.Confusion arose in her mind at first, but she wasnt quick to think that the person behind the wheel was Derek."Hello, is there any one you seek for?" Brenda said as she approached the vehicle.At each step closer she was, Derek felt like turning himself into the soil.He was yet to get an answer as regards the inevitable question.Finally, she was right before the vehicle and at the same time surprised to find Derek behind the steering wheel.With both hands in the air, sh
"Derek watch out!" Brenda called his attention to an approaching vehicle, but it was too late to make a turn.He had diverted his attention to talking to his wife instead of complete concentration.Before he knew it, he had hit a black Rolls-Royce vehicle."Hey, who the hell do you think you are?" A middle-aged man dressed in a lapel suit against his body, and his eyes covered with a dark shade, dashed out of his vehicle, after sighting the huge dent in his vehicle, he didn't hesitate to throw a heavy punch into Derek's face before any explanation."Who the hell gave a riff-raff like you a Tesla to drive?"Derek's outfit was quite too shattered to say he owned such a vehicle.While Derek rubbed the effect of the initial hit, the man prepared to hit him the second time, but Brenda was quick to block him off."No, please it was unintentional. He's not like that." She said to wade the man off, but she was all wrong."That's impossible woman, I need to get repayment for my dented vehicle
Mrs Devin was quite surprised to find an E cardholder dressed commonly, not just commonly but outdated.Derek's appearance spoke less of his personality.At first, Mrs Devin was quite skeptical about someone like him being in custody of an E card.Nevertheless, E card holders identity can never be impersonated, hence she believed him with cold chills rush down her spine."You are the branch head right? Derek turned to Mrs Devin after the manager's narration."Yes Mr I am…""I need five million dollars, right now! I need to withdraw it with immediate effect. If you don’t have enough cash here, you’d better call your superiors and get them to send it over now. I want cash.” Derek placed his E card in Mrs Devin's hand. Immediately, Mrs Devin was on the verge of tears. ‘Just five million dollars!' An E cardholder can indeed choose to withdraw any amount at any branch, is this the flimsy reason why this manager had withheld him for so long instead of attending to him?''Now, I've got to
After the man's disappearance, Brenda turned towards her husband.Derek knew what the next question would cover. 'She definitely would ask where I got the money from.' he said to himself while he sought for extra excuse."Babe, please can we leave, you should be hungry by now." without waiting for her response, he turned to leave."Derek! Get back here!" she yelled after him to till they both settled in the vehicle."Where did you get the money from? We both know it's quite impossible to get such an amount, not to talk of in a jiffy."Derek was speechless. "I got the money from our gift." Derek finally responded softly."Gift! G…ift!" she stressed the word in distrust.He held on to her shoulders and said. "Babe, we've paid the bully off, and that's what matters most. I can't stand anyone insult you.""You pleaded with him, yet he wasn't bulging…whatelse could you have done to appease him?" His words were touching to make her calm down.However, she doubts the fact that her husband
