Derek zoomed off. He couldn't believe who he was looking at. Clara in TriggerHub! Unbelievable! It wasn't possible! How could that be? The lady walked closer to Derek. "You must be the new manager, I have been expecting you. I am Maribel, the secretary," she introduced. Derek blinked once, then twice. A lot of thoughts muddled in his mind in some sort of crazy confusion. There was no fucking way why there would be two Clara in town. But why would Clara be working in his company? Well, wasn't that why she uses a mask? So that she would be free to be anywhere she likes without being questioned. But could Benson be correct? Could Clara be after him? Maribel watched his expression for a moment. "You must be thirsty, I will get you coffee. Then, show you to your office," she said and hurried towards the coffee machine even before Derek would stop him. He had a feeling of Deja Vu instantly. "Here boss," Maribel returned with a cup of coffee. Derek stared down at the coffee for a m

"B_boss," Max stammered. "I've heard a lot about the way you treat managers at TriggerHub. At first, I didn't want to believe it. So, I made a plan with the new manager that I appointed." "Boss, I'm so sorry." "Hey!" Derek snapped. "I'm not done talking. The police will be on their way soon and you will be arrested if you don't make amends with the new manager. And he's the only one that can restore your position in that company because you have been fired by me already," he muttered. "I will do that, boss. Please, don't be annoyed." "And listen to me! He will be my ears and eyes in that company. If you try anything funny with him, you will reap the consequences," he warned. "Yes boss," Max responded quickly. "Mr. Miller has spoken and I will take it up," Sophia said quickly. "I will be monitoring the company with the new manager. If anything goes up, I will be there. So, be very careful." "Yes ma'am." Max released a breath that he didn't even know he was holding. He didn't ex
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 45: Can't be!
"Miller?" Derek was shocked. "How did you know that?" Maribel hesitated for another moment as if deliberating on talking or not. "The VP sent us a message not quite long," Max said quickly. "She wants us to accord us the same respect that we would give to Mr. Miller because you are his representative." Maribel nodded once. "Calling you Mr. Miller is just a way of showing you respect and reminding ourselves to behave," she explained. Max stretched his phone out to Derek. He stared at the screen, at the message that Sophia had sent to him. According to Sophia, his name was Derek Robert. Derek released a sigh. "Alright, you are dismissed then, for now. I will call you later when I need you." Maribel nodded once and walked out of the office. Derek regarded Max for a moment. "You won't be fired but you have been demoted to the lowest. Maybe if you show me how active you are, I will speak with Mr. Miller to have you elevated." Max smiled. "Thank you so much, boss. I really appreciate
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 46: The stripper
Derek dismissed Maribel and waited for Ben to come out. Benson stepped out a few minutes later. His facial expression was weird as if he just saw a ghost. Derek regarded him for a moment. "Are you alright?" Benson looked at him for a moment. "Maribel is Clara?" Derek hesitated. "I don't remember telling you her name. Do you know her from somewhere?" Benson nodded once. "Maribel is a stripper by night. In fact, she used to be very close with Clinton. I had no idea what their relationship was but Clinton favoured her a lot. And well, by that," he hesitated briefly. "She would know a lot about us," he revealed. Derek thought about it quickly. That was a disaster actually. If Maribel was Clara, then she would know a lot of things not only about him being Miller but about him being the new Peter Pan. "Then, we will have to put her to a test. If truly she's Clara, then she would fail it." Benson nodded once. "And what is it all about?" "Tell her about the new Peter Pan. Talk to her
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 47: Rescue team
Elsie hesitated, as a flicker of shock passed through her eyes. "How?" She breathed out. "Did you know my name?" Derek let her go. "I'm here to help you get out of here." Elsie regarded him for a moment and chuckled silently. "Is this supposed to be a joke?" Derek had a straight expression. "I'm not laughing, Elsie. Your mother wants you out of here." Elsie stepped back. "My mother? You know my mother?" Derek nodded once. "She came to me and asked for my help." Elsie hesitated briefly and walked closer to him again. She sat on his lap. Derek looked up at her with disagreement. "What are you doing?" He protested. "Calm," she muttered and slowly gave him a lap dance. "Your right_," she said almost immediately. Derek looked up and saw that the curtain had shifted. Elsie stopped. "They spy on me every hour to be sure I wasn't planning on running away," she explained. "But let me get this straight. You are not here to watch me dance?" "I have better things to do than that," Dere
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 48: Dared
Benson turned to look at Maribel again, with a calm expression. He sat in front of her again. “Then, let’s leave here because no one else can hear about this until Peter Pan says otherwise.” “Why is he hiding his identity?” Benson hesitated briefly. "Isn't that the same as saying why is Clara hiding her identity? I mean everyone knows how powerful she is and yet no one knows what she looks like," he regarded her expression for a moment. "Right?" Maribel released a sigh. "Well, everyone has their reasons. It's really not my concern. Am I going to see him?" "Do you? I could make an arrangement. It really won't be that hard seeing that you used to be close with Clinton." Maribel hesitated briefly and nodded. "I understand. When does he go to the club?" "I will communicate that with you tonight," he assured. "Is that fine?" Maribel held his gaze for a moment. "That's fine by me actually," she downed more of the vodka. "Tell me something. I'm curious." Benson raised a skeptical brow
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 49: The Attack
"Leave now, boy. This is the last chance for you to rethink your decision or you will definitely die!" The man pointing the gun at Derek threatened. Elsie shivered beside Derek, almost going numb. She knew that Derek was going to make a decision that won't favour her. Well, she wouldn't blame him after all. There was no way he would sacrifice his life for her. And the thought alone scared her. She saw a flash of her life. She was going to die eventually and so was her mother. She felt regretful that she was going to be the cause of her mother's death and she was never going to forgive herself till she breathed her last. There was a sudden gunshot and Elsie closed her eyes and expected the worst. It was actually the man that went down as one of Derek's men shot him before he would pull the trigger at Derek. Derek took Elsie's hand and hurried away, behind the table close by. He pulled it down and made it a shield for them. Elsie opened her eyes when she felt a large hand engulf
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 50: Intelligent boss
Frederick felt a stab of annoyance at the word. “He said that?” He muttered in a deep angry voice. There was no response on the other side of the phone. A quick shuffle followed it. “Hello boss,” the first voice muttered. “He slept off, boss. It looks like the drugs that were given to him have taken effect again,” he explained. Sonny looked at Frederick with the same anger on his face. “Boss, Peter Pan has finally dared you directly. He was not supposed to take Beauty at all.” Frederick clenched his fist in anger as he thought about it. “Send a message to him. I want to see him in less than 24 hours. Let us have a face-to-face talk. He shouldn't get me annoyed because I will fight back like a lion!” Sonny bowed slightly and walked out of the room. Frederick reasoned it for a moment. Who could the new Peter Pan be? And there must be a reason why he's being so fearless. Could it be someone that he knew? Well, if he wasn’t someone strong, he wouldn't have killed Clinton. Though Clin

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
