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
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 114: Over the bad one
The abrupt ringing of his phone jolted Derek from his thoughts. It was his secretary. "Sir, something terrible has happened!" the panicked voice came forth.Derek got to his feet immediately. "Calm down and tell me everything that happened.""After the board meeting today, we suddenly received a call from the Jacksons that they no longer wanted to do business with us, I was still trying to understand the reason when-" her voice shook. Derek clenched his fists. Morris had enough connections with the Jacksons to convince them to cancel their contract with him.And with a big company withdrawing, every other company called to cancel as well. "Sir." the secretary continued. "6 other top-tier companies have called to cancel business with us, even our shareholders are withdrawing their shares in a panic.""What?" Derek's teeth gritted. "What has that got to do with the shareholders?""It seemed someone published something malicious about our company that got our stock price plunging ev
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 115: Short of words
The next morning, Derek got up with a slight hangover. He had quite a number of bottles of alcohol last night and now his head was hurting. He quickly took some painkillers and hurried to the bathroom to get ready. Last night, he had prepared a recovery plan for his company. He had also prepared a warning letter to be delivered to Morris' housekeeper. If Morris didn't heed to his warning, he already had a retaliation plan in place. He quickly placed a call to inquire on his sister's condition, but it was the same. No improvement. Derek sighed and quickly got into the bathroom. While he was getting dressed, he received a call from Benson. "Hello, Boss." "Speak." "We just received a request from the mafia lords under us. They want to meet with you." "At the same time?" "Yeah." Derek frowned. Something must be wrong for them to request a meeting so suddenly. "Do you have an idea why?" "No, I don't." Benson replied. "Alright. I'll be heading to Aircastle with Thomas
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 116: No dispatch
As the nurse unwrapped the bandage on his shoulder, Thomas' mind returned back to the incident back at Morris' mansion. Derek had risked a lot just to rescue his sister back then, and now she was unconscious. Right now, there would be a lot of things to take care of at the company. Why was he here, lazing around like this? "When can I get discharged?" Thomas sat up suddenly, asking the nurse. His bruises had healed, the only thing left was his left shoulder pain had reduced. "You should be able to leave by tomorrow morning." she replied. "What?" Thomas stared at her like she'd gone mad. "Why do I need to stay another day here? I'm fine already.""You ought to be discharged today. But your shoulder injury has barely healed, you still need to complete your treatment medications." She smiled, fixing the drip into his forearm. "Now that I've assessed your condition, why don't you relax and let me bring breakfast for you?""Hmm." Thomas nodded. Immediately the nurse stepped out, he
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 117: Fear
Thomas paced the hospital hall, his teeth gritted.He'd been trying Derek's line, but no one was responding. Benson was also unreachable, Sophia's secretary also confirmed that she was currently having a board meeting. What was going on? He could have headed to the company right away, but he couldn't leave Annabelle unguarded. "Doctor!" He rushed to meet them when they stepped out. "Annabelle's condition is already fairly stable, in fact she has started responding to treatment." the doctor assured him. "Oh, thank Goodness." Thomas was relieved that none of the chaos affected her. "You should also have some rest, Mr Thomas. You lost quite some amount of blood and you were just discharged today.""I can't rest if Annabelle possibly remains in danger.""No worries, sir." The doctor waved at someone behind. Two muscular men in police uniform ran up to face them. "We've acquired some police escort to guard the patient's ward during the course of the investigation.""Good." Thomas s

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
