"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
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
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
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
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
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
It was a beautiful lady dressed in a short red gown. Her cute face admired the ring in her hand. “This is definitely Wittelbach. There’s no way I would miss it.”Derek huffed. “Give that back to me!” He said harshly and took the ring from her.“Don’t tell me you own that ring? Where did you get it?”Derek regarded her for another moment before he walked out of her. He flagged down a cab. “To the iPhone store,” he muttered.He kept the ring in the box and placed it in his breast pocket before he sat inside the car. He wasn’t going to prolong the matter again. It doesn’t matter. Amelia wanted a divorce and she was going to get it.It wasn't that Derek didn't love Amelia but it felt like Amelia’s mind was set in stone already and there was no way to change her mind.He would just have to focus on finding his father’s murderer. He had to focus on finding out who Morris really was and forget about love at that moment.He pulled out his little phone and placed a call to Sophia. The first ri
