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a place.Trastar seemed secure enough for whatever discussion they were to have.The kiosk was decorated and arranged in outdated style.At a mere glance, it was very obviously out of touch with current trends.While he waited, he took his seat and beckoned to a waiter.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
The gathering consisted of prominent personalities such as Mauri and Jackson. Even if others were less prominent at least they had all graduated from the most prestigious school in Dominican.Even Brenda was from a second tier family in Dominican. A more reason they had chosen a more luxurious place for their meeting.However, it surprises them to know that Derek called a mere chef to dine with them in the same place.‘This private and luxurious room was chosen because we want some privacy. How dare you disturb us by inviting a mere chef into our midst. It shows how little you respect our gathering and how lowly you think of us."Jackson didn’t even glance at the door before he pointed and yelled out angrily. “Scram!”‘I am the one giving a treat today, not you, Derek.’Different people turned to Derek and said. “If you want to meet that chef, you should get out too.”Hunter added on with a sneer, “Derek, It's all over the place that you don’t even dare to fight back or rebuke any
Nobody in the room even dared to take a deep breath.Derek's command had been quite alarming, but no one dared to counter it.Hunter's expression clearly begged for mercy but none were forthcoming from Derek.Even Miller dared not to disobey his order. Hurriedly, Brenda strolled towards him, clutched tight to him before she whispered."Derek, I know you really are trying to protect me, but don't you think throwing him off the building is going too far? Look, he's still got a family to take care of. Let him go."Her words were as though a veil was taken off his sight. Meanwhile Miller was close to reaching the window with Hunter in his close grip. "Let him go, Miller!" Derek commanded exactly as said by his wife.Instantly, he did as ordered. Hunter crawled towards Derek to apologize. However, Derek turned and bade Miller goodbye before leaving with his spouse and Clarine.As for the others, they wanted to leave but were stopped by Miller. “Hand your phones over.”Just one sentence fr
Derek had received a message from an anonymous number immediately after they left PrimeStar."If you are willing to know more about Autumn and how to pull her down, meet me at Ivy club."The message caught his attention and ignited curiosity. He was too engulfed in the message to process the fact that he needed to call Gage first before he headed out.However he left hurriedly.He was a bit worried when he got to the basement, and at the same time he instantly contemplated on calling Gage as he was with no body guard in a club like Ivy.Ivy was known for promiscuity and a lot of abominable acts. In short, it was known to accommodate criminals.While he thought of calling Gage, somebody from behind had suddenly thrown a blindfold into his face and tied his hands. He tried earnestly to struggle off the blind folds and the holds on his hands but the person was just too strong for him.In a short while, he felt the room was void and there were no traces of movement.Derek regained his str
Derek vowed to get back at whoever was involved in the kidnapping and shared his picture to the net.That same morning, he sent Gage a message, stating that it happened to him at the Ivy club and he asked him to investigate whoever was in charge if whatever happened to him.Derek dressed up and left the house for work, only to receive the information after a few hours. It stated that Autumn was the one who orchestrated the whole drama for reasons obviously unknown.Angrily, he went in search of Autumn with the evil eye bracelet she had gifted to his wife.He dashed into her house without courtesy, after he bypassed the security men.Her sitting room was filled with people who seems to be her business partners, but he cared less about that. All he wanted was to get his pound of flesh back."Yes, my good friend Derek, what do you any here?" she leaned back into the chair with her legs crossed."Autumn, would it be good to explain why you are after my wife and I?""What are you talking a
