The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 24: The power
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
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 26: A duet
Derek walked out of the store with the Wittelbach ring.He hesitated briefly as he remembered what Jason had told him. He was partially depressed and scared because he didn't know how he was supposed to avenge his father’s death.But he did know that he needed to find Morris. And being the mafia lord would help him a lot since Jason told him that Morris headed three mafia lords in Orange Park.He only needed to find one of the three mafia lords. Then, he would definitely locate Morris and find out why he had killed his father.He hesitated briefly after he had walked past a beggar on the street. He walked back to the man and pitied him, deep into his pocket for all the cash with him, and stretched it out to the beggar.The man stretched to take the money, instead, he held his hand and looked up at him. It felt like he had no pupil. His eyes were almost white, only with a tiny trace of black whenever he concentrated more on them.Derek jerked back, a bit scared. He tried to wrench free
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 27: The trick
Derek found himself asking about Morris on the internet when he should be thinking about the duet.Well, even though he wasn't the best when it comes to mafia art, he was fast and had resistance. So, he was sure that he was going to win.Morris was exactly as Jason had painted. There were no pictures of him but people knew him as a fierce man.It was so late in the night when Benson and Derek arrived at the bar."Here, escort the boss to the ring while I check in with one of your underbosses here."Derek nodded once and watched him hurry away before he followed the guy.They soon arrived at an empty wrestling ring. There were none around, save for the men who stood around as if guarding the room.Soon enough, a young lady walked inside. She was clad in a short yellow dress and had a crazy hairstyle. She moved closer to Derek with a bottle of wine."Hello handsome," she teased as she helped Derek pour the content of the wine into a small cup in front of her.Derek ignored her and grab
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 28: The big boss
Everyone gasped. They couldn’t believe it. Herbert was one of the best mafia lords skilled in martial arts in Orange Park. But it looked like Derek was going to take the award soon. They never expected Derek to defeat him.In fact, all the underbosses came together and decided to make Derek fight Herbert.Derek opened his eyes and let Herbert go. He staggered back because of the dizziness he was still feeling.Three men hurried towards him quickly and supported him with their weight. “Boss,” Benson muttered, too confused to say a word as well. He actually thought Herbert was going to be the one to defeat Derek. He never expected otherwise.“Are we done? Or are there more?” Derek muttered softly. “Are there still people that want to question my authority?”Everyone kept shut.“Are there!” Derek yelled suddenly.Herbert moved to stand in front of Derek. “I’m so sorry, boss. No one will ever dare to confront you again. We are all yours to command.”Derek released a sigh. “Let’s have din
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 29: Determination
Derek's eyes went wide with shock. "What? You all work for Morris?" "Not directly," Benson said quickly. "But all the mafia lords in Orange Park are indirectly under him. He commands it, he didn't earn it." Derek looked at him with curiosity. "Do you guys know what he looks like?" Benson shook his head briefly. "No one does. I have never seen anyone that has. I think you are like him. I mean no one knows what the new Capo looks like as well." "Though, the special members who he finds interesting are being called to join his little group," Albert chimed in. "But none of his elders have seen him as well. He's always with a mask on, even during meetings." "Actually, I find that weird," Stephen said quickly. "Why would he even prevent his elders from seeing his face? What if someone pretends to be him?" "Im sure he reasoned it to that extent," Herbert responded. "There must be a way for the elders to recognize him, perhaps a mark or something. But," he looked at Derek. "Why did you a

Amelia couldn't contain her sadness and had to speak with her grandmother. She decided to plead with Evelyn and do whatever she could do that would make her give the company back to her."You don't look happy, Amelia," James said suddenly, jerking Amelia out of her thoughts.Actually, James called her out that afternoon, saying he wanted to speak with her.Amelia looked at James. "You sounded urgent in your voice. Is something wrong?"James sat in front of Amelia and regarded her for a moment. "Actually, I came to give you a gift," he revealed and pulled out Wittelsbach.Amelia regarded the ring for a moment, then up at James. "What?""This is Wittelsbach of 90 million dollars and it's yours," he announced.Amelia couldn't believe her eyes as she regarded the ring for a moment. She has never held the Wittelsbach ring before but she heard of how expensive and beautiful it was. And she couldn't believe that it was actually the one in front of her."You are giving me Wittelsbach as a gif
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 31: The last chance
Everyone wiped their heads towards his direction as if they couldn't believe the words he had said, even Amelia was shocked for a moment."If Aircastle wants Amelia to take over the company before they can award the contract to Citigroup, what then was Amelia supposed to do?""Can you shut the fuck up!" Sam yelled. It wasn't a question, it was a statement. "How dare you intercede in family matters?" Evelyn was furious."Well," Derek looked at Amelia and noted the confusion in her eyes. "I am still part of this family. I am Amelia's husband and I say that she's not going to reconsider."Sam looked at Evelyn. "Derek needs to be taught a big lesson! Ethan was in this position because of him!"Evelyn took in a deep breath and looked at Amelia. "Amelia darling. You do know that all this is wrong. You can't listen to your husband. There's no way you will turn your back on your family because of your husband. You have to speak with the VP of Aircastle.""But mother, the reason why Aircastle

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
