As the door opened, Derrick held his breath. But to his relief, Ruby didn't seem to notice him. She immediately got another call and was already on her phone, talking animatedly to someone. She didn't even look in his direction and she closed the door and went out.

He let out a sigh and let out a shaky breath. He had been lucky that time, but he knew he wouldn't be so lucky next time. He had to be more careful.

As Derrick unfolded the document, his heart sank.

"Derrick would be my slave and servant, he would obey me no matter the circumstances." It thus read.

The words on the page were clear as day. He read the terms and conditions, and they made his blood run cold. He felt sick to his stomach. He couldn't believe what he was reading. He had been tricked, Ruby made him sign an empty document and then she wrote her wish there and signed.

Now he was trapped. He felt like a fool. He felt like he had been used and abused. He had never felt so betrayed and humiliated. He didn't know wh

    They took Derrick into a inner room.Just as the woman raised the gun above Derrick's head, a door swung open. Derrick and the woman turned to see Ruby standing in the doorway, a look of satisfaction and disgust on her face. To Derrick's shock, Ruby didn't seem upset by what was happening. In fact, she looked almost pleased. And then, Derrick realized something even more shocking: Ruby had sent these men. She had sent them to hurt him. "Ruby," he said, his voice trembling. "What are you doing?" Ruby smiled. "I'm getting rid of you, once and for all."The woman froze, and then slowly lowered the gun. "Ruby," she said. "What are you doing here? I told you that I'll handle him well and make him sign the documents, you shouldn't have stressed yourself coming here." Ruby took a step forward, her eyes fixed on the Derrick. "You're not hurting him enough, i need him to beg for his life with passion" she said. "I won't let you handle him, I'll do it myself now." The woman hesitated, and

    Trapped in a room, with men watching over him, and Ruby trying to get him to sign a document. But he wouldn't sign it. He knew that if he signed it, he would be condemning himself and his entire life to a life of misery. He would be giving up everything he had worked for, everything he had built. And for what? So that Ruby could get her way? No, Derrick wasn't going to let that happen. He was going to stand his ground, no matter what."Sign the document," Derrick, I know you don't want to sign it," Ruby continued, her voice low and threatening. "But I'm not giving you a choice. You have to sign it, or there will be consequences."Derrick looked at her, his eyes filled with defiance. "I'm not signing it, and you can't make me. That's final" he responded, his voice strong and clear. "You can threaten me all you want, but I'm not going to give in."Ruby's face darkened. "You're being very foolish, Derrick," she remarked, her voice cold and dangerous. "Ruby gave Derrick another shot on h

    The day that Ruby had been waiting for had finally arrived. She had been planning this for weeks, and she was ready to put her plan into action. She told Derrick to dress up in his best clothes and meet her at the car. He was still in shock from the events of the previous day, and he hesitated. But he knew he had to do as she said, or else she might hurt him again. He got dressed, and headed to the car. As he approached it, he saw Ruby waiting inside. She was smiling, and he knew that she planned no good.Ruby was clearly unhappy with the way Derrick looked. She berated him, saying that his clothes were ugly and that he had no sense of style. She even went so far as to kick him, saying that he wasn't good enough for her. Derrick was shocked and hurt by her behavior. He couldn't believe that the woman he had once thought was kind could be so cruel. But he tried to keep his composure, knowing that he had to play along if he wanted to survive.Ruby demanded that Derrick get into the dr

    Ruby and her mother walked into the house, and Derrick trailed behind them, feeling more and more like a third wheel with each step. He followed them into the sitting room, where Ruby's mother gestured for him to sit. He hesitated, not sure if he was welcome, but she repeated the gesture more forcefully, and he reluctantly took a seat. Ruby sat down on a plush sofa, and her mother took the seat next to her. "Would you like anything to drink?" she asked, and Ruby nodded.As Ruby's mother left the room, two more people entered. One was a tall, dark-haired man who looked to be in his late sixties, and the other was a younger man, around Derrick's age. They both had the same sharp features and piercing eyes as Ruby and her mother and Derrick pressumed that they were her brother and father.Derrick's suspicion was cleared when Ruby's mother introduced them as her son and her Husband. Derrick immediately recognised Ruby's brother, he was the person who took his ex wife away from him.As R

    Ruby could tell that her father was growing impatient with Derrick's evasive answers. She knew that he would not be happy until he got a straight answer, and she wanted to avoid any further conflict. Ruby's mother looked at Derrick and said. "Just tell us what you do, please," she said to Derrick, her voice pleading. "It'll be better if you just come clean." But Derrick hesitated, still reluctant to share his work life with these people who seemed to think so little of him.Derrick took a deep breath, knowing that he had no choice but to tell the truth. "I'm not employed," he started, his voice barely above a whisper. He could feel everyone's eyes on him, their judgment clear. He felt like a failure, like he was letting down everyone in the room. But he couldn't bear to lie to them, not when they were demanding the truth. "I'm sorry," he apologized, his voice shaking. "I know it's not what you wanted to hear."Ruby's father was clearly not pleased with the answer. He looked at his d

    “Do you really love and care for my stupid sister? Or you want to get back at me for taking your ex wife by getting married to Ruby?” Micheal, Ruby's brother, asked him.“I can't be like you, I'm not foolish enough to get married to someone just to get back at a clown like you.” Derrick snapped.“How dare you” Michael yelled.Derrick walked out of Micheal and returned to the sitting room, his mind racing. He didn't know what to do or say, so he decided to simply sit down in the nearest chair and try to remain calm. As he entered the room, Ruby and her parents looked up, their eyes full of curiosity. They were wondering what had happened between Derrick and her brother, and what would happen next. The tension in the room was palpable, and no one seemed to know how to break it. Micheal came back into the sitting room."I understand that I'm not employed at the moment," Derrick started, addressing Ruby's father directly. "But my father is a very successful businessman. His company has h

    Sir Blake stood up and shook hands with Mr Winters, the two men exchanging a few polite words before he departed. Derrick saw him out, his face a mask of seriousness. Once the door closed behind his father, he turned to face the others in the room. His eyes fell on Ruby, and he gave her a small, reassuring smile.Ruby and Derrick said their goodbyes to their parents and left the room, eager to escape the tension that had filled the air. As they stepped outside, they both let out a breath of relief. "That was intense," Ruby remarked, her voice a little shaky. "I'm glad we're out of there." Derrick nodded in agreement, and then he reached for her hand. "Let's go and do something fun, to get our minds off all of that," he said. "What do you say?"“Get your hands off me!” Ruby snapped and slapped his hands away. “Don't forget that we are no longer with my parents and you no longer have the right to touch me.” She added and stepped forward.Ruby stopped in her tracks and turned to face D

    In the days leading up to the party, Ruby was a whirlwind of activity. She was busy planning every last detail, and she left Derrick no choice but to obey her every command. He felt like a puppet, being pulled around by her strings. Every time he tried to speak up, she shut him down. He was reduced to simply following her orders, doing as he was told. He felt like a shadow of himself, his own identity slowly disappearing.In a small act of rebellion, Derrick decided to wear his old clothes to the party, instead of buying new ones as Ruby had demanded. He dug through his closet, finding the least wrinkled and stained clothes he could find. Then he set about the task of ironing them, doing his best to make them presentable. He knew it was petty, but he couldn't help himself. He felt like he had to do something to assert his independence, even if it was something small.Ruby walked into the room without knocking, catching Derrick in the act of ironing his old clothes. She was surprised,

    Derrick, still in his early thirties, was bursting with energy and ideas. He had already achieved so much, but he was far from satisfied. He wanted to expand his reach, to build a business empire that would change the world.One day, over a cup of coffee, Derrick confided in his friend and mentor, Tom. "Tom, I've been thinking... I want to start more companies, outside of our current one. I want to diversify, to explore new markets and industries."Tom's eyes lit up with excitement. "That's a fantastic idea, Derrick! You have the vision and the drive to make it happen. What kind of companies are you thinking of starting?"Derrick's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm. "I'm thinking of starting a tech firm, a sustainable energy company, and a non-profit organization to support entrepreneurship in underserved communities."Tom whistled. "Wow, that's ambitious! But I know you can do it. You have a unique ability to bring people together and make things happen."Derrick grinned. "Thanks, Tom. I

    As the conspirators were led away in handcuffs, Derrick's relief was short-lived. The investigation was still ongoing, and the murderer remained at large. Rachel Patel, his lawyer, reminded him that the battle was far from over."The conspirators may have been brought to justice, but the killer is still out there," she said, her eyes stern with determination. "We need to keep pushing forward until we uncover the truth."Derrick nodded, his mind racing with the possibilities. Who could have committed such a heinous crime? And why?The police investigation continued, with detectives following leads and interviewing suspects. Derrick cooperated fully, providing any information he could to help crack the case.But as the days turned into weeks, the investigation seemed to hit a dead end. The police had no new leads, no new suspects. It was as if the murderer had vanished into thin air.Derrick's frustration grew. He couldn't rest until the killer was brought to justice.

    Derrick's eyes scanned the headline on the newspaper in disbelief: "W&B Company Embroiled in Murder Scandal." He felt a knot in his stomach as he read on, his mind racing with questions. How could this have happened in his company? Who could be behind such a heinous act?Just then, his personal manager, Tom, burst into his office, looking grave. "Derrick, we need to talk.""What's going on, Tom?" Derrick asked, his voice firm but laced with concern."It's about the incident in the company cafeteria," Tom said, his eyes serious. "The police are investigating it as a murder case."Derrick's eyes widened in shock. "Murder? But who...how?"Tom shook his head. "That's the problem. No one knows. The victim, Alex, was a well-liked employee. No one can think of any reason why someone would want him dead."Derrick's mind raced as he tried to process the information. He thought about his company, his employees, his reputation. This scandal could ruin everything he had worked so hard to build."

    As the press conference came to a close, Derrick felt a sense of relief wash over him. He had finally spoken the truth and cleared his name. He knew that Tiffany would continue to try and sabotage him, but he was ready for her."Thank you, everyone," Derrick said, his voice tired but triumphant. "I'm glad I could finally set the record straight."As the reporters filed out of the room, Tom approached Derrick, a smile on his face."Great job, boss," Tom said, clapping Derrick on the back. "You really took her down."Derrick nodded, his eyes still locked on Tiffany, who was storming out of the room."I'm not done yet," Derrick said, his voice cold and determined. "I'm going to make sure she pays for what she's done."Tom's eyes widened in surprise, but he nodded in agreement."I'm with you, boss," Tom said. "Let's take her down once and for all."And with that, Derrick and Tom set out on a mission to expose Tiffany's lies and bring her to justice. It was going to be a long and difficult

    Before Tom could turn to confront Tiffany, she had vanished into thin air. He spun around, his eyes scanning the darkness, but she was nowhere to be found. And to make matters worse, the blind spot in the warehouse meant that there was no CCTV footage to prove she had even been there.Tom's mind raced as he tried to process what had just happened. He had been so sure that he had finally caught Tiffany in the act, but now she had slipped through his fingers once again.But as he stood there, trying to make sense of it all, a slow smile spread across his face. Because even though he hadn't caught Tiffany, her plan had still been foiled. And that meant that Derrick would finally trust him.The cops arrived soon after, and Tom explained what had happened. But without any evidence, they couldn't do much. They left, and Tom was left alone in the warehouse, his mind still reeling.But as he walked back home, he felt a sense of satisfaction wash over him.

    The ally hesitated, his voice dropping to a whisper. "They're planning to fabricate something in your company, Derrick. They're going to do it today, and they're going to do it tonight."Derrick's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with strategies and plans. He knew he had to act fast, to stop Tiffany and Tom before it was too late."Get the recording to me now," Derrick growled. "I'll take care of the rest."The ally nodded, his voice firm. "I'll get it to you. But be careful, Derrick. They're not playing games."Derrick's smile was cold and calculating. "Neither am I."The ally arrived at Derrick's office, a small device in his hand. "I've got the recording," he said, his eyes serious. "You need to hear this."Derrick's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with anticipation. "Play it," he growled.The ally nodded, pressing a button on the device. Suddenly, Tiffany's voice filled the room, her words dripping with malice."We need to get into his office tonight," she said.
