Mabel hesitated as she thought of what to do. She released a sigh and suddenly went on her knees.She couldn't contain the embarrassment but she had no choice. She had to save her head."I'm sorry, Derek. I'm very sorry. Please, forgive me," she pleaded softly.Derek smiled softly. "One more thing, you are not to inform Amelia that you saw me tonight. I will definitely come for you If you do."Mabel nodded quickly. "I won't."Derek looked at Herbert and signalled for him."You can leave," Herbert muttered and she scampered away."Where did you know her from?" Albert inquired, anger still vivid in his voice. "She's so disrespectful.""What should we do with the manager?" Herbert asked suddenly.Derek raised a skeptical brow. "The manager?""Yes, you didn't know?" Albert smiled. "Well, since you are the owner of Beacon Hills, you could have him fired."The manager's eyes widened with shock and fear gripped him instantly. "What!" Derek was the next to be shocked. He looked at Albert. "H

"We have to stop her! We need to stop her," Sophia muttered with fear. She couldn't stop panicking.Annabelle might die for real. She might not be able to make it this time around.Derek felt even more frustrated. He mentally slapped himself. He was never going to forgive himself if anything bad happened to Annabelle."What are you going to do now?"Derek looked at Sophia. "She did state where she was going and what we are actually going to do."Sophia nodded once. "Alright.""And you have to go home, Sophia."Sophia shook her head briefly. "I'm not going anywhere until I hear that everything is fine."Derek turned to Sophia again. He slowly pulled her closer so that she was forced to stare up at him. He was two inches taller."I've got this, Sophia. Trust me but you also need to be alright, you know right?"Sophia nodded once, captivated by his eyes. She had been slowly getting so mesmerized by Derek that she wasn't sure if she was ever going to stop.Maybe it was too late and there
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 108: Two namesake meets
For a moment, Maribel didn't know what to do. She didn't know if she was supposed to go out of stay.Perhaps Morris was merely sleeping. It was very late in the night anyway."Clara?" Morris called again and Maribel heard him move.Maribel held her breath for a moment.Morris suspected something as well because he got out of bed and looked towards where Maribel was.At this point, Maribel decided to do the one thing that came to his mind, escape.She opened the door and hurried out. She pulled out her phone as she hurried along the hallway and placed a call to Nick.Nick picked it up immediately. "Hello, Maribel.""Have you seen Clara?""Not yet," Nick said in a whisper. "How many rooms are in this estate?"Maribel made a quick calculation. "Maybe ten," she sighed. "So, that means you haven't come across any of Morris' men, right? Because I've just met Morris," she revealed."What! Morris!" Nick exclaimed softly. "How? Where?""He's the one in the master bedroom."Nick cursed under hi
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 109: Rough plan
Derek's phone rang suddenly. It was Nick.He picked it up. "Hello, who am I speaking with?""Nick. It's Nick, boss."Derek released a sigh. "Where the fuck are you? Where is Annabelle? Put her on the phone."Nick paused slightly. "I think Maribel is in trouble. When she called me a few minutes ago, I heard another voice in the background. You need to come now before they_" he was forced to a sudden stop and the next thing Derek heard was a loud thud."Nick!" Derek yelled. "Hello!" He called but no response came. So, he dropped the phone."Boss, have you located your sister?" Thomas asked.Derek shook his head briefly. "It looks like she has been taken already. How long does it take now?"Thomas looked down at the map. "Not more than ten minutes.""If she's already inside, then there's no way our earlier plan would work," Benson muttered.Derek didn't talk immediately. A lot of things were going through his mind. The earlier plan was simple. Annabelle was supposed to kill Clara and me
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 110: If or not
Maribel looked up, just as Clara moved closer."My father killed your father because he deserved it. You should be grateful all these years that my father brought you up," Clara said with sarcasm and there was a stupid smirk on her face.Maribel found herself smiling. However, she wanted to punch the stupid smirk off Clara's face."And you are so happy about it. Your father is a murderer and it pleases you?""Well, I don't care actually. Besides, I'm taking over my father from wherever he stops. So, why should it not please me?"Maribel looked away. "You don't have the tendency to speak to me, Clara. I used to be in your position. It's until he starts using you for his selfish means before you discover the kind of man he is."Clara laughed. "You know what, there's a difference between you and me. You are the daughter of his enemy. I am his daughter. Do you think he jokes with me?" She yelled.Maribel turned a deaf ear to him. The pains she was having in her abdomen have suddenly multi
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 111: Trade!
The figure got up suddenly and Derek saw what he was seeking. It was indeed a female.Derek didn't know where the switch was and the room was semi-dark. So, he couldn't really see who the lady was."Get up, Clara," Derek muttered thickly.The figure went stiff for a moment. "Who are you?"Derek smiled briefly and took a step closer. "Get up," he ordered.The figure hesitated briefly. “Who are you? My father will give you anything you want,” she moved slowly and the next thing he saw was a kick moving towards him. He dodged it quickly and hit the figure slightly by the side. The figure grunted as she was merely pushed aside. Before she could attack again, Derek pulled her closer and placed the gun on her temple. “Don’t move or I will pull the trigger,” he swore.He might not know how to aim but he definitely knew how to shoot.The figure shivered slightly. “Please, don’t hurt me,” she pleaded softly.“Switch on the light,” he ordered.The figure nodded once and slowly moved towards th
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 112: Ambition
His head flew off at this. He couldn't think for a moment."Annabelle!" He called softly.There was no response, no stir, nothing.His heart almost stopped beating."Annabelle," he called again and shuddered her briefly.No response again.He didn't know where the bullet had penetrated but it had obviously done a lot of damage to her and the thought of it brought pure pain to him. He couldn't afford to lose his sister, not again.Benson got closer. "Boss, what is the matter?"Derek didn't say anything instantly. Instead, he placed her safely in the back seat and closed the door."Annabelle has been shot, and I need to take her to the hospital," he announced and got inside the driver's side. "Tell the men to pull back. Take Thomas to the hospital and we will discuss the rest later."Benson bowed slightly.Derek didn't look at him, as he started the ignition and drove out into the street.His heart was beating even faster as he drove. He increased the speed as he mentally thought of wha
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 113: Shocking news
"Derek, what're you doing here?" Amelia asked with a frown."I sure didn't expect to see you here, how come-?" her eyes flashed when she saw the Rolex watch on his hand."Can you even afford a check-up in this hospital?" Amelia eyed him in disgust. He was looking more handsome, far from how she'd imagined he would look after their divorce. Derek merely sighed. His ex-wife was still as rude as ever. "I'm here on behalf of a relative. What about you? Don't tell me someone got sick in the family, is it your mother?""How did you-?" Amelia was stunned, but she quickly caught herself. "My mother is perfectly fine, Derek! Your bad wishes can never affect her health.""If you say so." Derek chuckled and turned to leave. He didn't have time to waste speaking to this woman. But Amelia's voice stopped him. "I can see you're doing better, Derek.""Of course. My life has been sailing smoothly ever since we got divorced. That's one thing I'm grateful for."Her face turned pale. "No matter how m

Chapter 168: The end
Derek and Sophia spent the rest of the night in a romantic atmosphere, popping Champagne to celebrate the good news. His mother was finally awake from coma. Derek couldn't be happier. Everything was finally working out in his favor, all the pains he went through in the past were finally paying off. For his men, his mom, his sister, his company, and Sophia, Derek was so grateful. He had a nice time joining the band to sing a love song for Sophia. After laughing and merrying for a few more hours, they finally left the restaurant, hands intertwined. "Thanks for the surprise, darling. I really enjoyed it, and I look forward to more of this in the future!" He pressed a kiss to her forehead. Sophia blushed hard, getting into the car beside him."My dad will be returning to HC Central Hospital tomorrow, he's willing to go check out how your mother is faring." She rested her head on his shoulders with a big smile. "That's good news." Derek nodded. He dropped Sophia at her apartment a
Chapter 167: Biggest Accomplishments
Derek got down from the Porsche, heading to the other side to pull the door open. "Thanks."Clad in a blue dinner dress, Sophia looked stunning with her light make up and black heels. Her hair was sleeked back in a perfect ponytail to accentuate her flawless face. They both stepped on the red-carpet, hands intertwined, making their way into the exquisitely decorated hall. Today was the Trillionaire Club's 45th Anniversary and Sophia was here as Derek's date. "I'm so glad you're able to walk without restraints now." Sophia smiled softly at him. They didn't need to flash an ID at the gate, everyone knew Derek was the President, and accorded him the respect. The hall was buzzing with influential billionaire men and women, dressed in designer clothing and luxurious accessories. Immediately they sighted him, several men hurried over to introduce themselves. "I'm David, CEO of A.B Corps, the biggest construction company here in Orange Park. I've heard a lot about you, Mr Derek. You'
Chapter 166: New start
3 days later, Derek was discharged from the hospital on a wheelchair.Apart from the loss of blood, he had no internal injury and had been recuperating well. According to the doctors, he only needed a few days of healing before he would start walking normally again. For now, he could only stand for a few minutes to prevent straining the leg. Sophia was with him all through his stay at the hospital, and they left for his mansion together. Immediately they stepped into the house, a string of ribbons floated in the air. "Welcome home!"Everyone was there- Dominic, Jack, Alex and all their men, Benson, Thomas and all of Derek's men, his company's board of directors and executives, and even Sophia's father, Fred was around. "My precious daughter!" Fred pulled her into a big hug. He turned to face Derek. "I heard all that happened, son. Thank you very much for rescuing my daughter.""It's nothing, Fred." Derek patted him and left them both to catch up.He had to get up from the wheelch
Chapter 165: The last one!
"Stop it, don't hurt her!" Derek shouted, trying to lunge forward and stop Morris. "If you even dare to take another step forward, consider her life gone!" Morris' eyes flashed with a dangerous warning. Derek had to step back unwillingly. "Let her go and fight me man to man, Morris. You don't have to get her involved with this!""Drop your weapon!" Morris ordered him. "Derek." Sophia whimpered from underneath his hold. "Don't do it.""I said drop the pistol right now!" Morris' eyes were red with rage. "Would you want me to slash her beautiful face into two?"Derek felt his stomach sink in fear. This was the end. Morris was holding the most precious person to him, hostage. There was nothing he could do now!"Drop the pistol already, are you deaf?" Morris was getting more enraged, and Derek feared he would hurt Sophia more. "Don't do it, Derek." Sophia looked him in the eye. "Don't give up the last chance of protection you have, he will take advantage and kill you!""I'm sorry." De
Chapter 164: The Cue
"Now!" Benson signalled his men, and they burst through the gates, opening fire on each and every thing on their way! Morris' men were very taken aback. They would require time to get into formation for defense. Before then, Benson reckoned they would have wiped out. But to his chagrin, they didn't take too long to adapt. Only a few got injured while the rest got into hiding and started exchanging fire. More men started to pour in from the mansion to join the assault, and soon Morris' men were overpowering Benson and his team that they had to retreat back outside the gates. "Where the fuck is Jack and his men, aren't they supposed to be attacking them from behind? The pressure on us is getting worse!" Benson yelled, moving to the foremost and targeting the leader of Morris' men. In his anger, he almost forgot to take cover and a bullet grazed past his arm, almost hitting him. "Be careful, Boss. If you get injured, who will lead us?" someone shouted from behind, but Benson was ad
Chapter 163: Emotions
"Reminds me of your father. Back in the days." Morris smiled. "He was so vibrant, smart, and full of energy. Just like you, Derek. But guess what, he ended up dying by my hands!""So, you're finally willing to admit it?" Derek clenched his fists with boiling rage. "You took my sister away from us and killed my father, you motherfucking bastard!""You're forgetting one thing." Morris laughed again. "Or perhaps you don't know? Your mother's accident was caused when she was fleeing away from me, so in other words, I am the nemesis that broke your family apart!""You!" The rage erupted in Derek's chest and he lunged for Morris, aiming at his neck. If Derek had caught him at that moment, he would have dug his throat with his fingers. That's how much hatred he had for Morris! But before he could get to Morris, several hands clamped down on him from behind, kicking him violently to the floor. "How dare you try to attack Master Morris?" "You must have a death wish and be so tired of livin
Chapter 162: Last Day
Dominic was able to keep the little girl mute until they all jumped over the fence. "Are you a bad man? Why're you sneaking in, instead of using the front gate?" she asked innocently, not an ounce of fear in her eyes. "Because we're here to meet a friend, and we don't want to disturb the rest of the nun's dinner! Now, come with me." Dominic dragged her along with his men, pressing his hand against her lips.He couldn't risk alerting any other person at this point. They approached the Head Nun's garden, got in, and peeked into the room through the window. "We just have to climb in and abduct her from here. She'll probably still be observing her prayers while others are having dinner.""You go in first," he signaled to Thomas. "Make sure you land very quietly, when you see her, give us a signal and we'll join you!"Thomas nodded, and soon he disappeared into the room. "What're we going to do with a cute little girl like you?" Dominic crouched to the girl's level. "Are you going to
Chapter 161: D-Day
The D-day arrived like any other day, with the sun shining brilliantly in the sky. Derek got up early enough to exercise and have coffee. He sat locked in his study all morning, getting into the right frame of mind. By noon, Thomas came to announce he was leaving for Dominic's. "Stay safe, Boss. We're celebrating together at that party!" Thomas said and left. Derek nodded, then turned to Benson. "Go in and start briefing the men, we have less than 3 hours left. No one is allowed to come in or leave the mansion without my permission from this moment on!""Yes, Boss." Benson bowed.Just as he left, Jack arrived, saluting Derek with respect. "It's good to see you, Boss. The day is finally here, let's give it all we've got!""Of course, we will." Derek had always loved Jack's fierce but principled approach to situations. "Benson is already inside addressing the men, please join in, making sure to reiterate the most important details.""Roger that!" Jack saluted again and left. Derek
Chapter 160: Restless
"After you guys attack. I'll try to protect Sophia while leading Morris on. A few of you would join me in attacking him then." Derek continued. "His men would be distracted by the sudden attack, I'll use that chance to get Sophia to safety.""What if struggle ensues between you and the person holding her hostage?" Benson asked an obvious question. "That will be in your hands, Benson. Immediately after leading your men in, locate Sophia first from a place of hiding. You should be able to kill the man holding her hostage with our special submachine gun." Derek rubbed his chin in thought. If the plan proceeded that way, this meant he was willing to place Sophia's safety in Benson's hands. Derek tried to push every thought of her getting hurt away. There was no other way they could approach it. He would be so busy with getting Morris down that he might not be able to look out properly for her. "I think that should be all?" Derek sat up. "Don't forget what I said, let it rain bullets
