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
Loretta stepped out of her gate and proceeded to the next street and the street after, she walked past some more streets and stopped in front of a big building with the name "De-Royal Hotel" written boldly on the billboard close to the building, She stood there for minutes as if waiting for someone. She pressed on the keyboard of her phone, it seemed like she was texting someone. With her attention gone from the road and her surroundings, she didn't take notice of two men who approached her. "Hey you, give me that" the first man requested "Who are you to tell me what to do?" She snapped at him "I wouldn't do that if I were you!" He warned Loretta who turned to walk away.A slap landed on her face, making her miss her stance. With her hands on her face, she turned to look at the men in shock.Not waiting any extra minute, one of the men snatched her phone from her hand and the other pushed her to the ground. They divided the task, one focused on beating her. Kicking her, slapping
"You are nothing but an incompetent fool" Marvin cursed. "You are the most ungrateful person I've ever come across in my entire life." Mrs John started with a loud tone.Derrick had gone to serve his mother-in-law and brother-in-law Marvin, hot tea and biscuits but a teacup slipped and fell off his hands. That made the duo snap angrily at him.Derrick stood there, his face without an expression. He knew that his days were numbered in the house and any wrong move or word from him would lead to an increase in his days in John's house. "Even after everything you did to my daughter Sandra, we picked you up from the slum, gave you shelter and fed you." His mother-in-law continued, she wanted everyone to see her as good but she was evil inside. Derrick did not budge, he looked down at the broken tea cups with a cold expression her words didn't touch him anymore. He knew the mind games she wanted to play but he was done trying to please them. All he wanted to do was leave their house."T
"You are one lucky chap aren't you?" Ricky asked rhetorically "Who knows why John asked for you? Well, we'll just be there in time to find out." Ricky smirked and sped offDerrick was hurting from the blows to his mouth and hits on his leg. He lay motionless on the car seat. He wasn't going to fight back anymore he was tired of being accused of things he did not do.In John's mansion, his family sat confused and puzzled seeing the way their father behaved on his return from the hotel. Without a word said, John rushed into the house and asked for Derrick. He was told that Ricky took Derrick with him and he was going to settle everything once and for all.With a broad smile on her face and a feeling of achievement, Mrs. John patted her husband on his shoulder assuring him that her daughter's ill-treatment would finally be avenged but the look on John's face drew a confused look on her face. Marvin was confused by his father's reaction. They had spoken times without number on how the
Unsure about what was going on, the maids did as they were told.They swept the large compound and made sure that nothing littered the ground.The maids made a delicious meal, arranged the dining area and carefully placed everything in an orderly manner.John's children Marvin, Loretta and Sandra all got ready to welcome Derrick from the hospital.Mrs. John made sure that the clothes Derrick would change into were properly washed and ironed.“Don't you think something is wrong?" One of the maids asked her colleagues.“Something like what?" The second replied“Like the way the boss and his family are preparing for Derrick's return." She replied."Yeah, I noticed that too, didn't you hear the boss calling him his son-in-law? Even madam now refers to him as her son.” The third lady affirmed.“This is the same Derrick that the boss and his family spoke badly about. I wonder what changed.” The first maid spoke as if in thought.“Well I think something is going on but we are the only ones w
