Micheal, Ruby's brother last in the cell reached, his wife and mother all went to the cell to take him back home.Michael's wife and mother arrived at the jail, and they waited anxiously for him to be released. When he finally appeared, they rushed to embrace him. They were relieved to see him, but also concerned about his health and well-being. "I'm so sorry," Michael apologized to his mother, his voice cracking. "I didn't mean for any of this to happen." “We know," his wife replied, holding his hand. "We're just glad you're safe." Michael's mother nodded in agreement. "We'll take care of you, Michael," she assured. "We'll get you the help you need."Anna was grateful for the support of her mother-in-law. She knew that she and Michael had a long road ahead of them, and that it would be difficult to rebuild their lives. But with the help of her mother-in-law, she felt a little more hopeful. As they walked into the house, Anna could see that Michael was exhausted. He looked pale an
Derrick was discharged, he strode his wheelchair out of the hospital, his mind full of thoughts and uncertainty. What was he going to do now? Where was he going to go? He had no friends, no family, no home. He couldn't get a job in his current state and worst of all, he couldn't use his legs again.'Just great'. He thought as he continued riding his wheelchair to the walkway and out of the hospital.He had always questioned his existence, why the universe kept him alive and let him go through unfortunate situations. He let out a sigh and strode towards the hospital's junction, people's eyes towered over him but he didn't budge, "I'm sure seeing a young man alone moving around in his wheelchair is something people don't get to see much, I guess I'm just so unlucky." He said aloud sarcastically. Derrick passed a few streets and stopped in front of a big building where bright lights gleamed brightly with the writing "De-Royal Hotel" on a large billboard close to the building.Tired, D
It seemed like he was in dreamland, everywhere was blurred and two young male and female adults were talking loudly almost like an argument. Just then he felt a sharp pain in his leg and his headache.Derrick winced in pain as he placed his hand on his leg."Wakie wakie, I see that you're awake." The lady spoke first "I was discussing with Loretta how to dispose of your body, I thought you had gone for good. You are strong-headed compared to your condition." Marvin, her brother spoke."Just how lucky you are, we thought the best way to get rid of you was to feed you to the pigs," Loretta said and turned with her hand swaying beside her. "Betty!!" She shouted childishly, exhibiting all manner of dramatic gestures. A maid rushed in and bowed in respect to the duo."Clean him up and send him to the hall," Loretta said and walked off followed by her second in a male form."Please help me get out of here, these people are nuts. Can you imagine them accusing me of something I know nothin
Derrick strode to the kitchen in his wheelchair, his crutch under his hand, he strained himself to get up from the wheelchair and used the crutch for support. He walked into the kitchen limping on one leg and using the clutch as a support for the other.He heaved a deep sigh as he looked at the unending pile of plates before him. "So this is what you want me to do universe? This is what you want me to do, fine. I will do it" He started by removing the numerous piles of plates in the kitchen sink, he filled the sink with water and poured in the detergent that read "too clean" he beat the water into a foamy lather, and one by one, he buried the dirty plates into the sink. Derrick washed the plate rather subtly with the anger and solidarity that had been on his mind since he was abducted by the duo.He had accepted his fate now with John's family, he had no other option He washed and washed, but it seemed like the more he washed, the quantity increased. Derrick let out a weak sigh
Derrick couldn't hold himself back anymore. He had gone through a lot today just to please and satisfy them but the more he tried, the more they despised him.Everyone was shocked by his reply, Derrick too was shocked by his words but they deserved it. He went through hell to make sure he finished all the chores assigned to him and on his return, they started with their words again. "Wow, I see you've grown wings now." Marvin scuffed and Loretta added "he now talks brother. Haha, well let's see how you will settle the cab driver then." The duo walked off leaving Derrick in his situation. "You fool, where is my food? I told you to get it ready before I return?" His mother-in-law inquired. "It's in the microwave ma, I kept it there because I was going grocery shopping. " Derrick answered with his head bowed.She hissed and went back to her former position leaving Derrick with the now agitated cab driver.The cab driver who had overheard the conversations between Derrick and his maste
With an unnerving tone, Sandra scolded "Don't touch me with your filthy hands." "You-you slapped me?" Derrick asked in shock.He had been trying to get over the embarrassment he went through that morning and now, his wife wanted to destabilize him again."Why do you hate me so much?" Derrick asked, his gaze fixated on her."I hate everything about you down to the ground you walk on, I don't want to be in the same environment with you, I don't want to breathe the same air with you, you suffocate me." Sandra scolded, her brows furrowed into a frown."Why do you hate me so much? What did I ever do to you or your family?" Derrick inquired with an impaired expression.Derrick wanted to hear the answers from her mouth, the reason why she despised him so much."Are you seriously asking me that question? Or do you have short-term memory?" Sandra asked bewildered "You raped me you fucker!" Sandra screamed as though her old wounds had been opened again."I didn't rape you neither did I drug y
Derrick sat on one of the chairs at Sandra's table. The girls have been talking for hours now, each of them flaunting their expensive assets. One of them brought out a piece of jewelry she purchased in Italy worth $5,000,000. Another flaunted an expensive Hermes bag and shoes to match that her fiance bought her that cost about $7,000,000. The other lady flaunted the pictures she took with her man when they went for a vacation in the Maldives and Manchester. "Girl, you're living the life!" Sandra cheered. Only their makeup cost a lot of money. The cost of their outfit to the gathering was outrageous to Derrick and he couldn't believe his ears.Just then three wealthy-looking gentlemen with a nice body build walked up to their table Each of them placed a gentle kiss on their lady's cheeks before taking their seats.The men looked so exquisite in their impeccable taste of fashion. The first man wore a custom Gucci suit, a leather shoe made with the skin of a crocodile, a tie to matc
He settled into the car seat and closed his eyes trying to calm himself down. He almost had a panic attack there.A call came into the driver's phone and after the first sentence, the driver gave Derrick who was seated at the back the phone with the words "Boss wants to speak to you." "Hello, sir." Derrick greeted but he replied with a straight-to-the-point answer "What happened in there?" "Sir?" "Are you deaf? I said what happened there and why did you come out without my daughter? Has the gathering come to a close?" John asked with a hoarse voice "No sir, I, It was just hot in there so I came out for some air," Derrick replied, trying to avoid any provocation. "Are you sure? I will ask my daughter." John said bluntly"Okay sir, you can ask her, she will attest to it…" Derrick spoke but before he could finish his sentence the call ended from the other side.With a sigh, Derrick returned the phone to the driver who sat unperturbed in the driver's seat, all his focus on the windsc
Derrick watched as Tom's plane took off into the sky, feeling a mix of relief and concern. He was glad Tom was safe, but the events of the day still weighed heavily on his mind.As he drove back home, his thoughts turned over the details of the chase and the police's investigation. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was more to the story, that the kidnappers' motives went beyond just random targeting of luxury cars.But for now, he pushed those thoughts aside and focused on the present. He was just glad Tom was safe, and that their friendship had been strengthened by the ordeal.As he pulled into his driveway, Derrick let out a deep breath and tried to clear his mind. He knew the days ahead would be filled with more questions and uncertainty, but for now, he just wanted to rest and process everything that had happened.He got out of the car, walked into his house, and collapsed onto the couch, his eyes closing in exhaustion. The events of the day replayed in his mind, but he did
Tom leaned in, his voice barely above a whisper. "I've been developing a revolutionary new technology. Something that could change the game for our company...and the world."Derrick's heart raced as Tom revealed the details of his project. It was ambitious, daring, and potentially groundbreaking. The possibilities swirled in Derrick's mind like a vortex, drawing him in.As they delved deeper into the project, Derrick realized that Tom's vision was not only innovative but also risky. It challenged conventional thinking and pushed the boundaries of what was thought possible.With each passing day, Derrick found himself increasingly drawn into Tom's vision. He saw the potential for something historic, something that could leave a lasting legacy.And so, they embarked on a journey to bring Tom's vision to life. A journey that would test their courage, their wits, and their friendship.It was time for Tom to go back to Singapore.Derrick was in his car driving with Tom back to the airport
As the months passed, the Singapore office continued to thrive. Tom's team was consistently meeting and exceeding their targets, and the office was becoming a hub for innovation and creativity.Derrick was thrilled with the progress and decided to visit the office to see it for himself. When he arrived, he was blown away by the energy and enthusiasm of the team."Tom, this is amazing," Derrick said, shaking Tom's hand. "You've built an incredible team here. I can feel the excitement and passion in the air."Tom smiled, feeling proud of what they had accomplished. "Thanks, Derrick. We've worked hard to build a team that shares our vision and values. And it's paid off."Derrick nodded, his eyes scanning the office. "I can see that. I'm so proud of what you've achieved here. You're not just meeting expectations, you're exceeding them."As they walked through the office, Derrick met with each team member, hearing their stories and learning about their projects. He was impressed by their t
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. He began to work c
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. He had stopped Tiffany's plan, and he
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. "We need to find some
