2024-10-29 19:42:56Derrick stepped out of the building into the sun, squinting and shading his eyes. As his eyes adjusted, he saw a figure standing on the sidewalk. As his focus sharpened, he realized it was Ruby. He was surprised to see her - he had not told her anything about the kidnapping, and they hadn't spoken since the night of the fundraiser.
Seeing her there, in that moment, was jarring. He wondered how she had known to be there. Was she somehow involved?Nah! All these don't seem right, how did you know about all these" Derrick asked, his voice shaking. Ruby met his gaze, her expression defiant."Because I planned it all." Ruby snapped."I wanted to get back at you for what you did to me. I knew you would want someone to come here today to your rescue, and I was going to make you pay." Ruby added.Derrick was stunned. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Ruby had plotted this whole thing? He felt betrayed, confused, and angry all at once."Why?" he asked, his voice barely a whisper."I planned this all to show you that I'm better than you, you've been acting up lately" Ruby responded, her voice cold and measured. "I wanted you to see that I'm in control, and that you're not as powerful as you think you are. I wanted to show you that you can't get away with what you did to me."Derrick listened in disbelief. He couldn't believe that Ruby was capable of such a thing. He had thought she was a kind, gentle person. This version of her was cold, calculating, and frightening."Get in the car," Ruby commanded, gesturing towards the vehicle parked on the curb.Derrick hesitated, his body tense. He didn't know if he could trust her. What if she was planning something else? What if she wasn't taking him home at all? He didn't know what to do. His heart was racing, and he felt like he couldn't breathe.Ruby glared at him, her expression unyielding. "I'm not going to hurt you," she said, her voice softening slightly. "I just want to talk, you must be curious about a lot of things and I want to say a lot of things to you as well.After a moment, Derrick walked slowly towards the car. He opened the door and got in, his movements stiff and hesitant. Ruby slid into the driver's seat and started the car. The engine purred to life, and the car began to move. Derrick stared out the window, his mind whirling. He felt trapped, like he was a prisoner in his own body. The car drove on in silence, the tension in the air thick and suffocating.When they reached the house, Ruby got out of the car and walked towards the front door. Derrick hesitated for a moment, his feet rooted to the ground. He wasn't sure if he wanted to go inside. But Ruby turned and fixed him with a look, and he knew he had no choice. He forced himself to follow her, his heart pounding in his chest. She unlocked the door and led him inside, closing it firmly behind them. The sound of the door locking echoed in the empty house."You're indebted to me now," Ruby announced as they got into the house, her voice hard and uncompromising. "Your father's debt is paid off. But you still owe me."She took a step closer to him, her eyes burning into his. "From now on, you will call me your savior. You will be grateful to me for everything I've done for you. Do you understand?"Derrick felt a chill run down his spine. He didn't know what to say. He wasn't sure if he could ever see her as his savior.Derrick's thoughts were racing. He couldn't believe that this was happening. It felt like a nightmare. He had never imagined that Ruby could be capable of something like this. He had thought she was kind and generous, but now he knew the truth. She was greedy and selfish, and she had been using him all along. He felt betrayed and angry, and he couldn't shake the feeling that he had been a fool.He had to find a way out of this. He couldn't let her keep using him like this.As if she could read his thoughts, Ruby smiled cruelly. "You're just a tool for me to use," she said, her eyes glittering with malice. "A pawn in my game. You're nothing more than that."Her words were like a knife to his heart, but he refused to show it. He forced himself to nod, to show that he agreed with her. But inside, he was burning with rage. He would play along for now, but he would find a way to get back at her. He wouldn't let her know that he was really smart and calculating too.The following weeks were tense and uneasy. Sean was careful not to show his true feelings to Ruby. He was polite and submissive, pretending to be grateful for everything she had done for him. But inside, he was seething.He hated her more than he had ever hated anyone. He was constantly on edge, worried that she would find out that he was lying to her. But she seemed content with his obedience, and she never suspected a thing.One day, Ruby walked up to him and tells him "EVERYTHING WOULD BE ACCORDING TO MY RULES, YOU'LL HAVE TO CALL ME SAVIOR.""Suit yourself." Derrick replied and walked out on her.Ruby's face darkened. "You don't get to walk out on me!" she snapped, her voice filled with rage. "You will do what I say, when I say it. Everything will be according to my rules, whether you like it or not!"But derrick didn't listen. He walked out the door and slammed it behind him. He knew he had just made a dangerous enemy, but he didn't care. He had finally had enough. He was done playing her games. He was ready to fight back.

Derrick was filled with a mix of emotions as he walked down the street. He was angry and he needed to take a walk, but he was also scared. He had no idea what Ruby would do in retaliation for his defiance. But he was determined to stand up for himself, no matter what the cost. He knew he couldn't let her keep controlling his life. He had to take control back, even if it meant going against her. He had to be strong, for himself and for the people he cared about.When Derrick came back into the house, he was surprised to see a woman sitting on the couch with Ruby. She was a stranger, but she seemed to be in some kind of authority over her. He watched as the woman spoke to Ruby, giving her instructions and orders. The tone of their conversation made him uneasy. It was clear that the woman had power over her, and Sean was worried about what that meant for him. He stood there, frozen in place, as he tried to process what was happening.He was kind of surprised, because he thought Ruby was

"Sign that it you want to remain under me. After you sign, I'll write what ever contract I like on the blank paper which already have your signature." Ruby snapped and let out a cruel and loud laughter. Derrick set down the pen and looked at Ruby. "I'm not signing this," he replied. "I don't know what it is, and I'm not signing anything without knowing what it is." Ruby's face turned red with anger. "How dare you!" she yelled, her voice rising. "I thought you trusted me! How could you not sign something just because you don't know what it is?" Derrick stood his ground. "I'm sorry, but I can't," he responded. "I need to know what I'm signing.""If you're not signing it, get out of my house!" Ruby commanded.Derrick felt stuck. He knew that he couldn't upset Ruby, but he also didn't feel comfortable signing a document without knowing what it was. But he also knew that if he refused to sign it, it would make things worse. He felt like he was in a no-win situation. He took a deep breat

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

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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.
