Son-in-law: The Billionaire's Reign

Chapter 8: Injured

When he arrives at Sancho's residence, the security officials at the gate come out to question him. 

"Young man, where are you heading to?" The leader of the security team steps forward to ask. About four of his colleagues are behind him, gazing at Derek with bad eyes. 

"Who are you and what do you want?" The second officer comes up to ask. "You shouldn't ask where he is heading to but who he is first of all." He corrects his colleague and sure, this is the very first question the security leader is supposed to ask. 

"I'm Derek Dawson by name, it has reached my ears that my wife is here with Erickson Sancho." 

"Who told you?" The third man asks. 

Here he realizes what he has done, he doesn't in any way intend to put his friend into trouble. 

"I need to have my wife come out here, I want Tahlia. How can a famous man like him commit such a scandal, taking a married woman to his house?" 

He breathes so heavily, with the intensity of his heart beat. What gives him the audacity to stand out here and challenge Sancho is the fact that he knows who he is. 

Sancho is notified and he comes out, approaching the gate with a phone in his hand and seems to be making a call. 

"Young man, what's going on here?" 

From his eyes radiates fury which can't be easily quenched, he has some sinister motives in mind. This Derek knows but that doesn't concern him, all he is aimed at is getting his wife back. 

Though he stands before him, asking him what he actually wants in his estate that he should be creating a scene, he doesn't care to answer, rather he is stretching his neck over the short fence to look through if he will see Tahlia. 

"Where is Tahlia?" He asks with so much boldness, looking at Sancho straight in the face. 

Sancho stares at him with a slight grin on his lips. Inside him, he starts to think, "This is just a poor fellow that wouldn't take me any much stress to deal with." This belief manifests in the smile on his lips, as his eyes steadily analyze Derek right in front of him. 

"Are you the Derek Dawson that had Tahlia as a wife?" 

"Yes," he nods his head aggressively. "I want to see her right now!" He orders, which makes Sancho smirks. 

"My crush? What do you want to do with my crush?" He inculcates some mockery into his statement which gets Derek more angry. 

"What?" He barks. "My wife is your crush?" He pulls Sancho by the collar of his T-shirt at which the security step forth and pushes him off, he lands backward on the concrete floor, injuring himself. 

Feeling the hurt spot, he takes his fingers to feel this part of his head, what he sees is blood. Tahlia hearing the barking outside rose up only to arrive outside at this critical point where her husband is lying on the floor. 

"This is what he wanted." She hears her crush saying to his security. She rushed over to Sancho's side, holding on to his arms tight while staring at Derek on the ground. 

He raises up his head and finds her, he couldn't stop the hot tears from coming out of his eyes. Managing to lift up his body from the ground, he used the back of his other palm not stained with blood to wipe off his tears. 

"Is this how you planned to reward me Tahlia for all the sufferings I've incurred for you all these while?" 

He doesn't know what to say again, even his throat seems so choked that words can't flow freely and his voice wouldn't come out smoothly. 

"You still have the mind to say a word even after this?" Sancho mocks.

"Hmmm," Derek remembering that he is now the owner of the Deonz company  he is playing for smirks, shaking his head in a thoughtful manner, he rises up from the ground. 

He then looks at Sancho again, after determining he would just get into his bike and leave. 

"Ask yourself if what you are doing is good. If you were treated in the same way by your future wife, how will you react?" 

As he says this, he is already preparing to start the engine of his bike. Then Sancho who had been hissing, deriding him with his lover decides to speak up for once. 

"No woman would dare cheat on me because I have the money. How dare such a lady! Well I shouldn't be angry over that, I should be angry at you for thinking that all men are poor like you." 

He shakes his head, rolling his eyes. Sancho is just amused by what Derek is saying, he should be taking it with annoyance but he simply chooses to make fun of it. 

"Do you think that if I was poor like you, your wife would follow me?" He puts it forth as a question, to which the security erupt into a loud laughter, Tahlia soon joins. 

All that they are doing to him wouldn't have really gone far in paining him, but his own wife whom he loves so much getting on with others to mock him pains him to the deepest part of his heart. 

He thinks of how he is gonna get revenge for this, she wouldn't be spared as long as she is involved in this. 

Sancho steps up to him. "I know that you are just looking for money for food, so you decided to ride all the way from your residence here. See how bad poverty is?" 

He throws some notes on the ground for him, scattering it all over. 

"Take this and take care of yourself. Forget about Tahlia, she's mine now!" 

Derek climbs on his bike, not touching the money to Sancho's surprise. 

"I tell you that you will be shocked by what will happen next."
