Faster than imagined, Gage had ordered Taylor to work on the surveillance camera for the specified location, and within a few minutes, they had sent a video completely packed with everything needed as evidence.Not that alone, he ordered for some of Gage's men who were quite capable enough in handling Python.As quick as he could, Derek glanced at his phone, he carefully watched the video with a distinctive mind approach.After he confirmed the necessity, he tossed his phone over to Meredith ."Check it out yourself." she was at first slightly confused, but she instinctively opened the video.The first few minutes she watched, she was totally engulfed in the pool of her emotions that she couldn't help but cup her palm against her mouth.Another few minutes to the middle of the video, ended up releasing some tears.Not until after the whole video, Meredith ended up bursting into uncontrolled tears.“I am finally proven innocent, those that oppressed me are finally the guilty ones!" Mer
The caller was quite persistent. The call kept coming In over and over again. "Why didn't you pick it up?" Brenda knitted her brow in query."I obviously don't know who it is, neither am I ready to know."Brenda hijacked the phone from him. She trusted him so well that he would never cheat on her, but she felt she needed to know who the caller was.Since his heart was clean, he let the phone go without struggle, while he gazed at Brenda as she picked In his stead."Hello young son in law of the Reids…" a feminine voice which Brenda recognised even in her dreams spoke from the other side, but she was speechless.Brenda only glanced at her husband in surprise. She wondered how Autumn got Derek's number."Who is it?!" Brenda instantly cupped her hand around his mouth before he spoke further."Young son in law… I want us to meet. But you can choose whatever venue and whatever time you deem fit, you are in charge." Autumn laughed wickedly.Brenda was in a fit of rage, she couldn't hold
Never in her entire life has Brenda been bullied in this manner.Her family must have uttered several unbearable words towards her and her spouse, but never had she been slapped right in the face.Brenda had thought to retaliate, but her weak state wouldn't allow it. As much as she burned with rage, she was helpless to do anything.Whereas, Derek was on his way back to the Island.He just got some extra shocking information that he would love to share with his wife.Excitedly, he drove towards the Island, excitedly. He was just about to get off the vehicle when he got informed by Alex that Brenda had left for a while now, and she was yet to return.Immediately, he returned to the vehicle to look for her.He tried calling her digits but it rang severally without an answer. Then Derek got unseemingly worried.It was never like her to keep his calls pending, not to mention the fact that he had called more than twice. Derek drove as fast as he could, and at the same time, he kept trying h
Brenda's cheeks were swollen from the slaps dashed into her face by Helen, a mere glance at her by Derek, he knew she needed medical attention.He felt pained looking at the marks at the same time, he bit himself inwardly in regret, he felt he could have done better by saving the situation if perhaps he arrived earlier enough, or if he was opportuned to take her to Trastar.She had suffered enough in the hands of her family. Now, she had even been beaten up by a crazy woman on the streets.Derek’s heart couldn’t help but ache for her. As such, he decided to take her for a quick medical check up.Her wounds got treated, she was administered the required painkilling drugs, but the impending warning which brought some caution remained lingering."Madam, you aren't allowed to stress yourself, your baby is in a quite dangerous situation." The doctor advised Brenda and Derek couldn't help but lock their eyes.Brenda gulped so many times, and a lone tear could help but escape her eye.Derek
Derek walked into the kiosk, but took his time to look in it's surroundings.He still couldn't understand why Gage had brought him out to such a place.Trastar seemed secure enough for whatever discussion they were to have.The kiosk was decorated and arranged in outdated style.At a mere glance, it was very obviously out of touch with current trends.While he waited, he took his seat and beckoned to a waiter. “Is there anything to eat?”“Just a few homemade dishes. Do you want some? I’ll go and heat them up for you.”Derek wasn’t too bothered by whatever was sold, all he wanted was Gage's arrival and he leaves his current position.Although he wasn’t hungry, it would be strange for him to sit there and wait for someone without ordering anything. "That's fine, you could do it that way. Heat them up and bring them."The waiter returned to the kitchen, and before long, he returned with different appetizers.As expected, they were all homemade.While he sat down looking into the dishes,
“Derek, I think we’d better not go for the gathering.” Brenda thought of some bad memories and reframed her words that they would not attend it.“I thought you wanted to go badly … No, we have to go.”"Not when I already agreed on going with you too."Brenda saw that her husband was resolute and wasn’t going to give in. “What, are you going to rebuke me now?”Derek narrowed his eyes. “Those people want to bully you. Don’t you think we should teach them a lesson? Moreover, it's high time everyone stopped looking down on you because of me."Brenda was stunned. His recent attitudes were daring and always up to the task unlike before.‘My husband is too charming. He’s no piece of trash; he just couldn’t be bothered to get back at them. But just look at that—he’s no piece of trash when someone bullies me.’“Oh, ok.” Brenda nodded, not trying to stop her husband anymore.He was her husband. As long as he made a decision, she would simply trust him as his wife.“We still have some days unti
It was no new news that the couples were always being spoken ill of, or bullied even in public gatherings.Days in the past, Brenda had always been the envy of all, even Mauri herself despised and hated her, for her stunning beauty. And with the fact that Brenda was the eye of the whole school.Even when Mauri discovered how related they were, she never ceased to back down… Her thirst for jealousy kept growing day after day.Several people were on Brenda's side because of her level of popularity. However, everything came to an end the moment she got married to Derek.Everyone who was once her friend, turned out to be a mocker. Instead of being a source of comfort, they all became a voice of thorns.One after the other, they turned their back on her until she was left with just Clarine by herself.However, it seems Mauri had begun to win instead.At first, Mauri had talked about them coming to the venue in a taxi. Now, she referred to Derek's status as a good for nothing son-in-law as
All Mauri and Jackson were after nothing but connection. As far as you held none of the two as power and position, you are obviously nothing to them.A more reason they had an eye on Brenda. Before, she was the beautiful and untouchable daughter of the Reids, but now to all, she was nothing but trash alongside Derek.In society, nothing made more sense than holding on to the two prominent things. And what is love when both don't exist?The courage instilled in Brenda at which she proudly introduced her husband was quite alarming. No shame, no iota of disgust to prove how shameful she was married to a thrash. Derek also never found it ridiculous either to proudly announce his friendship with a chef. Yet, he had done so without batting an eye. “Derek, you mentioned Chef Miller to be your friend. Does that imply that you’re a chef too?” Mauri threw in the question that raised an outburst.Brenda was equally surprised, she wondered what Derek was trying to do announcing himself to be th
