The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 30: The Imitation
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
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 32: Face smacking
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
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 33: The apology
The statement angered Derek and he rushed towards the entrance.Four security guards moved closer to him quickly, preventing him from entering."Stop him at all costs!" Ryan told the men, with a smiling face. "And make sure he leaves this store immediately," he added quickly."Get out of my way, or you won't like what will happen to you!" Derek muttered in between his teeth. He was angry now and he wasn't going to back down."Leave while we are still asking nicely," one of the men warned in a thick voice.When Derek didn't answer, one of the security guards moved closer and launched an attack at him.Derek dodged the blow quickly. He was very swift now which surprised him. He was yet to think of how he was able to defeat Herbert.He elbowed the man and sent him reeling backward. Another man aimed for his eyes, he dodged it, turned in the process, and hit the man on the chest.He rushed against the last man, pushing him against the door."What the fuck is happening here?" A deep voice
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 34: Appearance
Derek didn't expect it but he knew that Ryan was forced to do it.It didn't matter anyways.He walked out of the store and released a sigh. Actually, he was thinking of going to the Aircastle company that day. Thomas rushed to Derek suddenly and bowed slightly. "Boss."Derek regarded him for a moment, shock written all over him. "How did you get here? What are you doing here?""The VP told me you will be here. So, she said I should come over with this gift," he gestured at the Bugatti Centodieci.The last of 10 hand-built units, this Centodieci contrasts a Quartz White exterior with a Black Carbon finish across the lower body and Black Matt grilles. The brake callipers – in Light Blue Sport – as well as Light Blue Sport finishing for the logo on the Black Carbon rear wing, establish a deep connection with the EB110, reimagining the famous shade of Bugatti Blue that the car was introduced and produced in. The interior of the tenth coach-built Centodieci also features a Light Blue Spo
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 35: Companies' worth
Zayn was so annoyed at the fact that Citigroup was doing well again. His plan to make Amelia come back to him has failed. It only showed that Clinton didn't do his job or instruct his men to do it before his death. He felt angry about it and decided to confront them, especially their new mafia boss. He paid anyway, he had the right to know about it. Benson stepped inside the lobby and regarded Zayn for a moment. "You are toying with fire, Zayn. You do know that." Zayn regarded Ben for a moment. "Coming from a nobody like you. I will have to hear from your boss! I don't talk to people like you!" He yelled in anger. Actually, he came with five fierce-looking men. So, he was assured of his safety. His phone rang suddenly, putting a stop to the next word he was about to utter. He pulled out his phone and realized it was an unknown caller. He turned aside and picked it up anyways. "Hello." "Hi Zayn," a thick voice called. "It's Peter Pan," he announced. Zayn released a sigh. "Boss

"What? Why? I mean why will I even do that? You are the president of all these companies. You can't be the manager of TriggerHub," Sophia protested softly.Derek shook his head briefly. "I need to know what is really happening with TriggerHub.""If that's going to happen, then you could summon the manager and find that out.""Well, haven't you tried that? How has that helped so far? Just why didn't you just fire all the workers there?""Well," she hesitated. "It was the first company that your father would establish and in fact, most of the workers there are the first," she explained."What!" He exclaimed with shock. "You mean TriggerHub has been there for ten years? And it's still the one with the lowest net worth and on the verge of going under?""I'm so sorry, Boss," Sophia said quickly. "I have been so occupied with managing Aircastle because it's the capital. And I've done my help with other three companies but TriggerHub just wants to prove very difficult," she explained.Derek
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 37: The auction
Benson gathered his brows amazingly. "A mask? A diamond mask? Why?"Derek looked at him. "I have a plan. Just get me what I want."Benson released a sigh. "I'm afraid that might be a bit difficult. Besides, there's barely any diamond mask in Orange Park. Only two are here and aside from the fact that it's very expensive, it's not easy to retrieve.""Who owns it?""Mathias. He is not really an acquaintance and very expensive," he explained."It doesn't matter. Get across to him. I will pay any amount. It's for the greater good anyways," he darted at the watch. We have just less than two hours. The mask needs to get to me in less than an hour," he ordered.Benson bowed slightly. "I will be on my way now. I will contact you after it has been settled," he assured and walked out.Derek looked at Thomas. "I want to have everything that you can get your hand on concerning Clare. I want it before Benson will come back."Thomas bowed once. "Can I make use of your laptop?"Derek nodded once. "S

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
