Once they were alone, Ruby sat down next to Derrick's bed and took his hand in hers. "How are you feeling?" she asked gently. “Tired," he replied, his voice weak. "But I'm glad to be here with you." She smiled, and she could see that he was trying to put on a brave face. She knew that the road to recovery would be long and difficult, but she was determined to help him every step of the way.As Ruby walked into the interrogation room, she was filled with a sense of unease. She sat down in the chair across from the investigator and took a deep breath. The investigator began by asking her to recount everything that had happened, from the moment she had boarded the plane to the moment she had escaped. Ruby told her story in as much detail as she could, leaving nothing out. The investigator asked her if she had any idea who could have been behind the hijacking, and she shook her head. She had no idea who would want to hurt her like this.Ruby's eyes widened as she remembered the bitter
As Ruby followed the two men into her study, she could feel her heart pounding in her chest. She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. Her manager closed the door behind them, and the man from the SCORP GROUP sat down in a chair across from Ruby. He placed a folder on the table between them, and he opened it up. "We have completed our investigation," he said, "and I must say, the results are quite surprising." Ruby's curiosity was piqued, and she leaned forward in her chair. "Please, tell me what you found," she urged.“The bomb was planted by your brother. He hired an experienced ex convict for the job and it was neatly done. The plan was to kill you, but surprisingly you escaped. The pilot and hostess of the airplane were also aware of the attempted murder, your brother paid them a huge sum of money.”“That ungrateful brat, did he borrow my own money to pay for my death? Such insolence!” Ruby yelled.“From our investigation, the pilot and hostess are still alive, even the
Derrick left Ruby's study room and went into his own room. A while later, Ruby came back and entered into her study room and Derrick could see and hear her from his phone.Derrick held his breath as he saw Ruby enter the study. He watched as she paced around the room, her face filled with worry and concern. He listened intently as she spoke to someone on the phone, her voice low and hushed. "I don't know what to do," she said, sounding desperate. "This is all so much bigger than I thought." She went on to talk about a plan, something that sounded dangerous and risky. Derrick's heart was pounding, and he felt like he might be sick. What was she getting herself into?As Derrick listened, he could tell that the person on the other end of the line was someone she trusted, someone who knew what she was up to, her manager. Derrick heard the door to his room open, and he turned around to see Ruby standing there. He had been too occupied in his thoughts to notice her entering. He tried to
“I know that it was all your doing.” Derrick dropped the bombshell.Micheal surprisingly agreed for Derrick to come to his house. He told him to come the next day.When the next day arrived, Derrick felt a mixture of dread and determination. He knew that what he was about to do was risky, but he felt like he had no other choice. He dressed in his best clothes and headed to Micheal's house, his stomach churning with nerves. When he arrived, he knocked on the door, his heart slightly pounding in his chest. He heard footsteps approaching, and the door opened to reveal Micheal standing there, a look of suspicion on his face. "What do you want?" he asked, his tone cold.“I need you to promise me that this will be between the two of us," Derrick stressed, his voice low and urgent. "If Ruby finds out, it could ruin everything." Micheal looked at him for a moment, considering. Finally, he nodded. "I promise," he said. "But I'm only doing this because I know you'll make it worth my while."
“Go to the bank and withdraw a huge sum of money from my savings account and put it in the slush fund account.”"Are you sure this is what you want to do?" Derrick asked, his voice trembling. He knew that what Ruby was asking of him was wrong, but he also knew that he was in no position to say no. He felt trapped, like he had no choice but to do what she said. “It's the only way to get back at them," Ruby replied, her voice cold and hard. "I don't want to talk about it anymore. Just do it." Derrick swallowed hard, his mouth dry. He knew that he couldn't refuse, no matter how much he wanted to and he also knew that he could get caught from depositing the money.Ruby specifically warned him to create another savings account and use Micheal's name as the holder's name and then he should send the money to the slush fund account.“Mrs Ruby wants you to create a fake savings account too.” Ruby's manager had informed Derrick."Are you asking me to help you commit fraud?" Derrick asked, his
Ruby left her parents home late at night, she went to her own house and then she and Derrick celebrated her wins with a little bit of alcohol.The next day, Ruby's father died.Ruby's mum was crying throughout the day and Ruby felt nothing, she was never close to her father and his death meant nothing to her. The deceased was cremated. Micheal was already disowned and still at the detention center, he could not attend his father's funeral.It was Ruby's idea to cremate her father's corpse that same day he died, she convinced her mother that it was of no use prolonging the funeral. Ruby, her mum and some extended family members successfully completed the funeral rights of her late father.Ruby became the owner of her father's properties and assets. She was happy with her new status until everything back fired to her.As the detectives investigated the slush fund account, they began to piece together the puzzle of who was really behind it. They followed the money trail and discovered th
Derrick asked the investigation team if they could allow him to get hold of his tablet and laptop and they agreed after much consideration. And they went over to Ruby's house to get it.As the detectives arrived at Ruby's house, they were greeted by her personal security team. They explained their presence, and the team allowed them to enter. Derrick followed them inside, trying to control his emotions. He was focused on one thing: getting his tablet and laptop back. He needed the evidence that was on them, and he was determined to get it, no matter what. But he had no idea what he would find when he finally got access to his devices.Ruby thought that the taking of the tablet and laptop was to get more evidence against Derrick, she never knew that Derrick had it for her.As Ruby sat in her living room, she thought about what was happening. She was sure that the investigation team was building a case against Derrick, and she felt a sense of satisfaction. She thought she had outsmarted
As Derrick climbed into the truck, he felt a sense of relief. At least he had a place to sleep, even if it was a cold and dirty truck. He curled up in the back, pulling his jacket around himself for warmth. He closed his eyes, trying to shut out the cold and the darkness. He wasn't sure if he would ever be able to sleep, but he had to try. His mind was racing, and he couldn't seem to switch it off. He tried to focus on his breathing, to clear his mind, but it was no use. He was exhausted, but his mind wouldn't let him rest.Derrick had a little amount of money in his account, Ruby blocked all his accounts but she did not know of that particular account.Derrick knew that he had to use the money wisely, since it was the only thing that stood between him and complete destitution. He had to figure out a way to turn his life around, but he didn't know where to start. He was feeling overwhelmed and hopeless, and he didn't know how to make things better. He knew that he needed a plan, but he
