"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
Actually, after Ben had dropped Derek off the night before, he met with the underbosses of the Capo and let them know who the new Capo was. The underbosses have informed all the captains under them. In fact, Ethan had just called one of Derek’s men to deal with him. “At least, break his nose and hand. With that, his sugar mummy wouldn’t have his time,” he laughed. It was at this time that Derek realized what had upset Amelia. Ethan must have told her that he had sugar mummies. Richard looked at Philip. “I think he's Derek, our new Capo?” Philip nodded once. “I’m thinking about the same thing. And If we mess with Peter Pan, it might cause our death. We must be very careful,” he muttered. Derek noticed the expression on the men's face as they regarded him. He knew without anyone to inform him that they knew him. Though, he didn't know how. "Tell your men to attack him!" Ethan initiated, a bit anxious. It looked as though Derek was acting pompous already. Ethan already knew that
Derek scoffed. “Seriously?” he turned to look at the salesperson. “I spoke first. So, the ring is mine.”James regarded Derek for a moment. “Are you, not Derek, the live-in son-in-law of William?” he laughed. “How can you afford a ring so expensive? Are you trying to mock yourself?”“If I come inside this store and demand something, it’s because I can afford it. The ring is for me.”James looked at the salesperson. “You had better send this guy out of here because he’s not going to buy anything. He’s only going to cause a nuisance. In fact, he’s one of the most useless and poor sons-in-law ever.”The salesperson quickly moved towards James. She knew who James was initially because he was used to shopping in their stores. In fact, she always gets commission whenever he buys things from the store.“Do you still want the Wittelbach ring? It's 80 million dollars and I can pack them for you.”Derek felt a stab of annoyance at this. “There’s no fucking way you are getting this ring. I asked
"No, that's a lie. There's no way that card would be invalid. Try it again," Derek protested softly. James laughed. "No, forget it. I told you earlier! There's no way he could afford such an amount of money. You should sell this to me," he smirked. The manager regarded Derek for a moment. "Try that again," he ordered. Derek released a sigh. He didn't know if he should be scared about it or not. But well, he could make a transfer but that wouldn't stop James from mocking him. Even at that moment, he wanted to beat the stupid smirk off his face. The salesperson tried again but the machine made another beep. "This card is indeed invalid, "she announced and looked at the manager. "You should send him out for causing a ruckus and sell the ring to Mr. James." The manager looked over at Derek. He had been convinced by his face and the name on the card that he was indeed the son of Miller. In fact, he was the legitimate one. "Are you certain that this card is valid?" "I am!" Derek str
