Derek stood frozen, his heart pounding in his chest as he stared at the woman lying on the hospital bed, her face contorted in pain. It had been years since he last saw Tahlia, his estranged wife, and now she was about to give birth to a child he never knew existed. The realization hit him like a tidal wave, washing away the carefully constructed walls he had built around his emotions.Tahlia glanced up and locked eyes with Derek, a mixture of shock and vulnerability flickering in her gaze. "Derek?" she whispered, her voice barely audible over the sounds of the labor room. "Is it really you?"He nodded, his voice caught in his throat. "Yes, it's me, Tahlia. I can't believe it's you. How did this happen?"Tears welled up in Tahlia's eyes as she struggled to find the right words. "Barbara... she approached me with a proposal. She wanted me to take her place in the agreement. She thought I could help her secure the money by pretending to be her, but I never imagined it would come to this

It's about 8:30 AM in the morning where Derek is riding off to work on his bicycle when he witnesses a mugging scene. A young woman is coming out of a plaza when she suddenly gets robbed of her purse which contained a huge amount of dollars as she just counted them and was returning them into her purse when a young man wearing a black hoodie snatched it away from her. Derek parks his bicycle at the side of the road and stops the thief, chasing after him until he has caught the man who stole from the woman. He doesn't get the chance to beat him up properly for stealing but he is able to retrieve her purse and makes sure that her money is complete before walking up to the elderly rich looking lady and hands it over to her. "Give me that, you mugger!" She replies rudely which leaves Derek in shock. "I'm sorry, what?" Derek asks her in shock and disbelief. "What? I have watched it on news! Young people like you team up to cheat the elderly together!" She screams into his face as she
Derek was desperate and called his colleague, who picked the call this time around. Derek moved straight to the point. He wouldn't miss his opportunity as he had helped this person at work all the time. "I'm in police custody. I just got a chance to speak with you now. I wanted you to help me with a hundred and fifty dollars for my bail. I'll pay you back after getting my salary." "Come on. How much do you earn that you are talking of paying back?" Derek detected that he was mocking him. Though knowing this, there was nothing he can do because he wants to get the money. "I helped you rotate so many shifts.." Derek said to the phone, "You know what kind of a person I am, and I will definitely pay you back." “Do I?” His colleague laughed out loud, "I have told the boss that you are absent from work today. I guess you won't have this job anymore, let alone this $150 to pay me back. Good luck to you at the police office, I guess." Derek was still clutching the phone as it was b
"No mom, I wouldn't divorce him." She shakes her head, held Derek's hand. Derek knew deep down she didn't trust him. So he believed that she would readily opt in for a divorce upon her mother's suggestion. But not until he saw the same serious expression on her face that her mother had. He remains rigid, without any motion. "I'm really surprised….." He mutters to himself, not quite audible. He decides to surprise his wife, he never thought she would be saying this. He hastens down to his motorcycle which is down. He is going to do this no matter what, it's not a planned decision but he doesn't care. He didn't inform anyone before leaving. He just wants everything to be a surprise. Before reaching the family estate, he calls his family's asset manager. He picks. "Mr Aurelius, I'll be coming back home to take over." He first starts. "I'm already on my way!" Aurelius Julius, an Italian, had been in the job of managing the vast billion dollars worth of the Dawson's as
Derek arrives at his estate, soon after he told his family's asset manager. It didn't take up to twenty minutes. Some of his family's staff had forgotten him because he was now grown, muscular and very charming although had been in a poor condition for years. His grandfather who is the most excited person to welcome him introduces him to everyone who had forgotten him. "I thought you were not going to come back?" He asks and Derek widens his eyes in amazement. "Why wouldn't I come back, sir?" He always addresses his granddad by the fond version of sir. "I'm glad you returned, some don't after meeting with the freedom of having to live by themselves." This is why he is the most excited person in the house. It's the truth that some heirs and heiresses who were supposed to inherit their family's fortunes like these abscond, never returning back to home again especially those from disciplined families. These families have rules guiding them and those who are to inherit the fa
