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
"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
"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
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
“What! Dad!” Ethan yelled suddenly. “Dad! Mom!” he yelled again. “What is the matter, Ethan? Why are you calling us in such a manner?”Mary, Ethan’s mother, stressed as she walked into the sitting room.“You can’t believe this! Clinton is dead!” he announced suddenly.“What!” Mary exclaimed. “How? What happened to him? I mean how could the mighty Clinton be dead?”“Well, there was actually something that happened at one of the clubs yesterday. Clinton and his men got involved in a fight with some unknown men. Apparently, he was killed.”“That’s just unbelievable! This is very surprising!”“Yes, I'm sure half of the city is shocked. Besides, who can the killer be?”“But doesn’t that mean that the killer would be the next Peter Pan? I mean that was how Clinton became a mafia boss too. He killed his brother.”“Seriously?” Ethan was more than shocked. He stared down at his phone for a moment and suddenly exclaimed. “You can’t seriously believe this. There’s a new mafia lord already. The i
Derek didn’t expect to see Amelia, Amelia, Ethan, or Kevin at his party. However, he remembered that Ann planned to match-make the president of Aircastle with Amelia, with Kelvin’s help. So, it wasn’t surprising that they were present.“Hello, I am Miller. I am the new president of Aircastle and the neighbouring companies. Thank you all for coming to this gathering,” he bowed slightly and walked out through the same way he walked in as rounds of applause filled the air around him.He entered the changing room but hesitated when he remembered what Sophia had told him. He was yet to make out anything from it. He knew he had to speak with Fred as soon as possible. There was a soft knock on the door. It opened before Derek could say a word and Fred walked inside. “Boss,” he called softly and moved closer to Derek.“Boss, you didn’t reveal yourself to the world, why? The last time we spoke, you said you would. What changed your mind?”Derek turned to look at him. “Fred, I want you to tell
“I and Fred have decided to keep my identity in check until I find out who truly murdered my father and injured my mother,” Derek muttered.Sophia regarded him for a moment, “Are you sure this is alright?”“I’m very sure, Sophia. My father was killed even though he had so much power at his fingertip. I’m not going to be like him. I’m not going to die. I’m going to find the murderer and make sure he faces the same fate as my father. Till then, I will run everything underneath.”Sophia nodded once. “Alright boss. I have all your cards with me, and the document of all the companies you own. It’s in the car as we speak. When do you want to have them?”Derek didn’t respond immediately as he stared ahead at Amelia coming towards him. There was this angry look on her face. “I will talk to you later, Sophia. My wife is on the way,” he explained and moved towards Amelia as well.Sophia looked at Amelia and shook her head briefly. “She doesn’t even deserve you.”“Amelia, how-,” Derek started bu
