The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 155: Decisions
"Home, what a nice place to return to!" Derk sighed intermittently, flopping down on the couch in his study. "That Club meeting was energy and time-draining. I could barely stand all the noise!"Thomas and Benson glanced at each other without saying a word. Derek noticed and had to ask. "Guys, is anything wrong? Why have you been looking like you want to say something?""No offense, Boss." Thomas cleared his throat. "But we wanted to know why you refused to take up the opportunity to become the Trillionaire Club's President.""Yeah. It was such an amazing avenue to improve your leadership skills and gain more connections in the billionaire world.""Is that how you both chose to see this situation?" Derek chuckled, not getting a bit annoyed. He knew they only wanted his progress. "First of all, did you notice that the President, Edward isn't a straightforward person? He already knew his son would contest for his post, why was he pushing me to contest as well?""Is anything wrong with

Thomas drove to a stop in front of the Wildies: Lord Hamilton's personal club. The last time they were here was when they came to abduct him. 3 days had passed since then. They stepped into the club like normal gentlemen, getting a table at the rear end and ordering some drinks. "How're we supposed to find her in this hell-hole?" Benson asked Derek above the loud music and noise. "We don't even know if she is a regular bartender, a waitress or a stripper?""You don't need to worry, my charms would do the trick." Thomas assured them, gesturing to a waitress to come over. "Good day, beautiful. How's work going tonight?""Fine, thank you.""I can see you're all tired and dizzy but you still manage to keep up with the job." Thomas said softly. "Your hair is very pretty by the way. It matches your eye color.""I have no choice if I want the bills to get paid." the waitress blushed hard. "Thanks for the compliments. What would you and your friends like to have?""We'll have three glasse
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 157: To word
Hamilton was still awake when Derek and his men returned to the basement that night. His face looked haggard, his throat sore from screaming profanities all night. Despite his tiredness, Hamilton's eyes still shone with anger. "Derek, I swear if you hurt my woman. I will-""Thoughts of us hurting Cindy kept to awake till now?" Derek sat opposite him, his face serious and determined. "I can see how much she means to you, and I give you my word that not a finger has been laid on her.""But I cannot assure you that things would remain that way, depending on the answer you give me now." Derek retrieved the iPad from Benson, showing him all the photos. "There she is, unconscious and helpless. Locked up somewhere only I can access. I'm giving you one last chance to make a decision, Hamilton.""You're a bastard I swear!" Hamilton gritted his teeth. "I'll kill all your family if any harm comes to this woman!""Yeah. I've heard that countless times already." Derek hissed. "Straight to the po

"I'm glad you know that you might not return alive." Hamilton gave Derek a sinister smirk. "No one confronts Morris and goes scot-free. That man can sniff a conspiracy from afar, his mind has been trained to know and predict things. If you don't lose your head, you will surely lose an arm!""Don't be too quick to jubilate, old man. That's up to fate to decide." Derek replied calmly. "You should start praying I return alive, else your end will not be too far. By then, not even Morris would be able to save you!""You're making a mistake there. Now that I've been missing for a few days, I'm sure he would have looked into the matter." Hamilton chuckled. "That cunning snake would have sniffed and guessed that it was all your plan. I'd be giving you a piece of advice to be careful!""Keep your concern to yourself. I'm fine without it." Derek said and left the room with his men. "Keep him locked in there until I return from my trip in 2 days!" He ordered the men guarding the entrance. "On n
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 159: Attacks
Derek thought for a while before replying. "That's why we have to position at least 5 of our men around, with their target on anyone holding Cynthia. The moment they notice the person is about to pull the trigger, our men attack them, then I'll see what I can do.""Other than that, I'll try my very best to keep Morris distracted, while you guys infiltrate the mansion." Derek pointed at certain points on the map. "There are entrances into the mansion in these areas. Since Morris will be distracted, all of you will secretly come in, killing any guard that gets in your way or tries to raise an alarm.""Smart!" Jack nodded in approval. "Let's start with Cynthia's abduction. We want to carry out the operation at the same time I'm meeting Morris. What do you guys think?" Derek sat back down, leaving the floor open. "First, who are the people going there?" Alex asked. "I'll lead the men going," Dominic spoke up. "I'm confident this part will be successful. We just need a little more info

"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
The Rise Of A Secret Heir 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

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 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

"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
