They rush over to enter the car which is packed on the wait. The driver is already dressed and is seated inside of it. Eloine takes his place in the front while Aurelius opens the back door for his boss, then closes it, walks over to the other side, opens the door, enters and takes his seat beside his boss."Aurelius, I didn't tell you where we are heading to. Jackson is reportedly hiding in the company, working in the control room and his target is on me. He had begun a conspiring with a treacherous group and their target is also on the financial office. If they can capture the pin to the company account, they will drain all the money.""But why is he doing all of these?" Aurelius asks.

Son-in-law: The Billionaire's Reign Chapter 43: Humiliation by Derek

"You wanted to hold me captive by laying an ambush for me on the road, now you are my hostage. I'm going to do with you whatever I wish."Derek is determined to mock him, to continue to disgrace him in all possible ways even though it was this that prompted him to do all he is doing, his assistant is grinning from ear to ear."Make him kneel there before me!" He was standing, but upon this instruction, the men move for
Son-in-law: The Billionaire's Reign Chapter 44: Tension as Bianca calls
A call drops on Derek's phone as Aurelius leaves, he picks it up from the table before him and checks. It's Bianca, his head is destabilized. She told him that he would be meeting with him this afternoon right from when he was at Jaria's parents' apartment. He hadn't returned yet and this was the major reason he hurried back so he would arrive on time. He breathes heavily portraying a panicky expression that calls for Eloine's attention. He rushes over to him to ask what's wrong. "Why are you scared, you are acting like something is wrong?" Derek then pauses to look at who is calling him scared, he wasn't scared with Jackson, is it just a call from Bianca he would be scared? He asks himself. "I'm not scared, I'm just confused and don't know what to do. This is Bianca calling and she wants us to go to the court then, I think she is done with her private investigations and has gathered all the points she needs."So now you will be going to court?" Eloine asks him with a surprised fac
Son-in-law: The Billionaire's Reign Chapter 45: Jaria is aroused by Derek
Today he chooses to confront her after telling her the direction to his estate. "I don't want anyone quarrelling between you and Jaria as you are coming to my house, that's why I don't always want the two of you to be present at the same place." Bianca gives a very long sigh, not resembling an educated lawyer and young girl. "What do you mean now?"Derek feels his person insulted, he was her boss after all and needed to be apologized to. If she wasn't going to say it, then he is going to force her to apologize to him for her rude and mannerless way of speaking to him. "Have you forgotten that I'm your boss or you now see me as your mate, is it because you are one of the best in your field and think that I can never do without you?" Derek lowers his voice, he steadied it to ask him. Bianca blinks her eyes in shock. "Can we do video call please?" He raises up her head. Anxiety flies from nowhere into her mind. Derek has never said this to her, he hasn't talked to her or any other gir
Son-in-law: The Billionaire's Reign Chapter 46: Jackson taken to prison
He takes hold of her hand, then this arouses the thoughts in her that perhaps he is drunk and is horny at the same time but just at this moment, Derek speaks, clarifying his intentions."I'm not trying to seduce you, I'm feeling so anxious, dizzy and weak. It's the reason you see me this way." Jaria is disappointed, she knows it's gonna be a formal meeting perhaps he has some other thing to tell her which isn't related to what she thought before."Okay, Bianca is coming today and she will be alone with me discussing the divorce proceedings, I don't want you to come out." He puts up a serious face here, at this point. "Please if you wouldn't ever listen to me in other things, be kind enough to yourself to heed to this one, it's for your own good." "What's really gonna happen that he doesn't wants me to come outside?" Jaria asks herself. She is puzzled and that very nature shows in the way she looks at him. "Not like I want to cheat with her against you, you can ask for an evidence, l
Son-in-law: The Billionaire's Reign Chapter 47: I have something to tell you
At the stated time, Eloine knocks at Derek's door, opens it and walks in, he is still sleeping. He gently taps him, three taps wakes him up, he runs his eyes with the back of his palms. Then he raises his eyes to the wall clock, it's 2:50 PM.He remembers that he had an appointment with his lawyer, Bianca. He rises from the bed abruptly, walks to his bathroom to freshen up. After spending ten minutes in the bathroom, he receives a call. It's Eloine. He stretched out his hand from the bathtub he is, clearly his face of soap with his left hand."Hello Eloine?" He already suspects what he wants to say even before he opens his mouth."Bianca is here, she requests to see you.""Tell her to wait for me in the guest room, and give me fifteen minutes. I'll be right there." He feels she should wait, though he is giving fifteen minutes, he might take a little bit longer than that but not longer than thirty minutes."Alright sir." Eloine waits for Derek to hang up the call, then he progresses t
