Sophia looked away. Even though she saw no reason why Derek didn't want to announce his identity before the inauguration but she couldn't take everyone looking down on him again. So, she was going to ignore Derek and announce him."_ the pre_," Sophia continued but the manager cut in quickly."I'm so sorry!" He yelled so loud that even if Sophia had said something, no one would have been able to hear.Derek released a sigh. He didn't know if he was supposed to be grateful for what the manager did. He took two steps closer to Sophia and shook his head slightly.Sophia released a sigh, finally accepting defeat. "Escort these people out!" She yelled in anger instead.The security led Ann and Kevin out of the lobby.The manager on the other hand was suddenly cooperative. He gave Derek a last glance before he walked out."Sophia," Derek called softly. "Do you even know who those people were?"Sophia bowed briefly. "I'm sorry boss. I just felt they wouldn't treat you like this if they knew

Derek regarded him for a moment. "What?"The man went on one knee. "I will serve you for eternity. Just don't fire me. I will spend the rest of my life, atoning for the sin I have committed against you.""Forget it. The president will be revealing his identity soon," Sophia said suddenly. "If you don't leave this instant, you will hate yourself.""Please, I beg of you!""I will never keep someone like you so close to me," Derek muttered and walked to the car.Sophia joined him and they drove out of the company.“What you said the other time about the inauguration,” Derek started and looked at Sophia. “I don’t want my identity to be revealed yet. Well, I could go on with the program and you could even go ahead with mentioning my name but I’m just not ready to show my face.”Sophia glanced at him. “Why? Did something bad happen?”Derek released a sigh. “I’m married, Sophia,” he revealed, shocking Sophia for a moment. “I told you the other day that there was a lot you don’t know about me
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 14: Troubles
The men went quiet for a moment as if having silent communication with each other on what to do. They all looked at Zayn at the same time. "That's ok. We will do it," Mr. Davies said suddenly, with a wide smile on his face. In fact, everyone was glad that Zayn was bringing them along in his business plans. "Yes, we will do it. We only have to think of flimsy excuses for her. We will do great," Mr. Finn assured. Zayn smiled, satisfied by the positive responses that he got. "Alright, then. This meeting has ended," he announced. The door opened almost immediately and the man from earlier walked inside. Zayn stood up quickly. "How was it, Ben? Were you able to get across to him?" "Yes boss," Ben responded with a smile on his face. "Though it wasn't easy, I was able to get across to one of his trusted men. You are supposed to call him and he would get the phone to Clinton," he explained. Zayn released a relieved sigh. "Dial the number immediately. I have to make sure everything i

Amelia couldn't believe her ears. Finn has always been understanding. She didn't know what went wrong.That was even the least of her worries. What she was concerned about at that moment was how the news reached Mr. Finn.The thought of what that would do to the company made Amelia's heart skip several beats. She knew that she had to solve the issue immediately.Thankfully, some business partners were going to pay her that day. She would use the money to solve all that there is to it. That would stop the news from reaching the rest of the public."Boss," a feminine voice called suddenly and moved closer to Amelia.Amelia regarded her facial expression for a moment. "Is something wrong?"The lady hesitated, as if unsure of where to start. "The Omnilert company wants to terminate the contract."Amelia couldn't believe it. "What? Why? What did he say his reasons were?"The lady sighed."Talk to me, Mabel. What did he say?""Nothing, ma'am. Perhaps you should talk to him."Amelia nodded o

Amelia couldn't believe her ears or maybe her mother was only playing tricks on her.She laughed. "Mom, stop playing around. I'm in dire need of this backup money. And it's not funny that you are playing like this when I need it urgently."Ann sighed. "Why should I play around with something like this? I'm busy too, you know?"Amelia was shocked. "What do you mean then? I gave you this money to keep because of situations like this. In fact, I had to specifically put you in charge because of Ethan. What the fuck did you use the money for?""I used it, Amelia and that's it. I don't have to explain everything to you, do I? I'm your mother!" Ann stressed.Amelia felt a stab of annoyance at this. "Mom, are you kidding? What do you mean by that? How could you even use the company money? This is absurd!"Ann released a sigh, not at all guilty of her action. "This isn't my fault, dear Amelia.""Then whose fault is it?" Amelia yelled in anger. "You spent the company's backup money and you dare
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 17: Clinton will die
"Alright boss, I will do my best," Sophia responded.Derek smiled. "Do you know who Clinton is?"There was a few minutes of silence. "You mean Clinton, the mafia lord? Or Clinton, one of our business partners?"Derek moved into the restroom. "Clinton, the mafia lord.""Well, I do know he's one of the oldest mafia lords here but not more than that. I could send you the details if you want actually or have someone ring you up. He's Thomas. He's very active in his job.""Do that immediately. I need to know something about him as quickly as possible.""Alright boss," Sophia finished and the line went off.Derek released a sigh and washed his hands. He was going to deal with Clinton for messing with his wife. He was going to teach him a lesson he would never forget.His phone made a vibration and a message popped up on his phone. It was a message from Thomas. Derek dialed his number and he picked it up immediately."Hello boss, I'm Thomas.""I've been expecting you. Did Sophia tell you why
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 18: A divorce
"What! What happened?" Derek was shocked. He found it difficult to breathe for a moment. Even though Amelia had cheated on him, he still didn't want her to die. No, he loved her too much for that. And well, believed that things could actually get better between them especially after he had recovered his heirship. "Stop asking me foolish questions and get here at this moment!" Ann yelled and hung up. Derek released an exasperated sigh, his head reeling. He couldn't even imagine anything bad happening to Amelia. His phone beeped suddenly and a message popped up on his phone. It was a message from Ann. It was the name and address of the hospital that Amelia was admitted to. He looked at the men that were staring right at him with fear in their eyes. Thomas hurried to Derek. "Are you alright, boss? You are bleeding." Derek nodded once. "I'm fine, let's go," he muttered and walked out of the club with Thomas. "You are dismissed. I will call you later when I need you." "Yes boss," Tho
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 19: The New Mafia lord
Derek nodded once. "Alright, I will be waiting for the papers," he hesitated and looked ahead at the door behind Ann as if Amelia would walk out that instance. Well, since Amelia wanted divorce too. It was only right for him to give her what she wanted. He was filled with sadness as he walked out of the hospital. He hesitated in front of the hospital and thought about everything he had been through at the hand of his in-laws. He was actually supposed to be happy that he was finally able to get a divorce but Derek was far away from it. He had never felt so sad in his life. It was too late, there was no bus or cars. And Derek doesn't have a car yet. So, he decided to walk back to his house, the one that Sophia had given him. Several cars pulled to a stop in front of him suddenly. Derek was forced to stop walking as the cars were blocking his way. The door opened and several men got down from the cars. They were clad in a black suit. Derek had never seen any of them before and won

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
