The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 51: The Card
Benson pulled into the garage and looked at Derek. "Alright boss. I will do all that you want." Derek's gaze searched around. "Where are we?" "Outback Steakhouse. It's the best place for steak around here by. In fact, I got you a card already," he explained, dipped into his pocket for a platinum card, and stretched it out. "It's for Peter Pan and it's the highest card here. It overrides other cards of Outback Steakhouse." Derek took the card and examined it for a moment. Derek Miller was written in bold letters on it. "How?" "The CEO of the steakhouse is Peter Pan's ally. So, he gives out his card for free to any presiding Peter Pan. Though, the name was supposed to be Peter Pan but I figured you wouldn't want that since you are hiding your identity for now. So, I made him get it for you in your name. With this, you can use it when you are under cover or not," he explained. Derek smiled softly, pleased. "This is actually nice. I wanted to say I prefer to go to the bar but I think
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 52: Divorce?
The attendant quickly bowed her head briefly to the manager. "Sir, we need you to verify this platinum card," she moved closer to the manager and stretched out the card. Benson stared in surprise at the scene that was unfolding. He looked at Derek and he gave him the signal to stay reserved. The manager took the card and checked for the marks. He stretched it back to the attendant. "This is a real platinum card. The users should be given maximum enjoyment," he announced. Zayn and the lady were shocked. Zayn couldn't believe that someone like Derek could have something like that. Derek was very poor. It was just credible. The attendant moved to Derek. "I'm so sorry sir, can you follow me?" Benson moved closer to him and they both walked away with the attendant. Zayn's face turned red, especially at the fact that there were people that observed them. Some even took their videos. Zayn felt embarrassed and walked out with the lady he came in. He swore silently to deal with Derek a
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 53: Respect
"Could Derek be close with the CEO? Was that why he gave him the platinum card?" Ethan asked with shock. Amelia couldn't talk. She continued to watch the video of how Zayn was disgraced. "That's not the case!" Ann protested. "If that is the case. We can at least go to Outbreak Steakhouse with our in-law since he owns a card there," Ethan teased. "I said that it's not it!" Ann argued strongly. "Besides, I've divorced him," Amelia revealed. Everyone looked at Amelia. "You've divorced Derek?" Ethan was shocked. "And why the fuck would you do that? Grandfather permitted you to marry him. Besides, wasn't it all your idea in the first place?" Sam attacked Amelia. Sam knew that they would be at a loss now that Derek was gone. Derek being a useless son-in-law was the only advantage they had against Amelia. It was so palpably clear that Evelyn loves Amelia more than she loved Ethan. "Well, divorcing Derek is the best. She can finally marry someone of our standard." "I'm not marryin
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 54: Humiliated
“Did something happen?” “Welcome Mr. Derek,” Max greeted suddenly with a wide smile on his face. He bowed slightly and turned to the other workers. “You should all get back to work now if you don't want to lose your job. You do know that Mr. Derek doesn't like all this.” The workers dispersed immediately and Max moved closer to Derek. “What is happening all over here?” Derek inquired in a deep voice. Max grinned. “Well, the workers were just trying to recognize your presence as their manager. Besides, everyone knows who you are now.” Derek’s heart skipped a beat at this. He wondered what he meant. “What do you mean by that?” Thomas questioned in Derek’s stead. “Well, we saw the video that people made at Outbreak Steakhouse. It's all over the place and people are watching it.” Thomas looked at Derek, shocked. Even Derek couldn't talk for a moment. The only thing that went through his mind at that moment was the fact that Amelia could have seen it. Besides, Morris and others cou
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 55: The box
The telephone rang suddenly and Derek picked it up. "Hello boss, we saw a sealed small box while cleaning the library. Should we dispose of it or would you like to check it out?" Derek thought about it for a moment. "I will send Thomas over to get it." "Alright, boss." The phone went off and Derek looked at Thomas. "There's a sealed box in the library. You need to get it for me." Thomas bowed slightly. "Alright boss," he muttered and walked out of the office. Derek took one of the files that Max had brought. He stared hard at the fact that the company was in debt. The company hasn't been earning well anyways. Why wouldn't it be in debt? He knew he had a lot to do before TriggerHub would get right on track but he still needed to question Max about the debt he saw. So, he took his phone and placed a call to Max. Max didn't pick it up immediately, "Hello Mr. Derek." "Come to my office immediately," he ordered and hung up. Max walked inside a few minutes later. “Hello, boss. You
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 56: Arrest Frederick
So, Clara was really in TriggerHub for something inside the box? Derek released an exhausted sigh. How could he not have observed it earlier? The door opened suddenly and Thomas walked inside. He stopped beside Derek and looked at the box as well. "It looks like we are late already." Derek nodded once. "Check the CCTV camera and see if she hasn't meddled with it." "Alright boss," Thomas muttered and rushed out of the office. Derek moved nearer to the opened box. There were several files in the box and it looked disordered. When Derek pulled up a document, he realized that the other files there were arranged accordingly. It's either Clara has seen what she wanted and has taken it or she wasn't able to do so before he showed up. Derek placed the files back inside the box and placed a call to Thomas. He picked it up immediately. "Hello, boss. The camera in your office has been off," he revealed. "Alright, meet me in the car. Let's leave now." "Alright boss," Thomas responded
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 57: Match-make
"Good then, I will inform Benson to call you over when you are supposed to come. Though, you wouldn't even need that. You will definitely know when to come." Pete nodded once. "I will do everything you want, Peter Pan. It's my pleasure that I'm useful." Derek stood. "Thank you." Pete stood as well, with a wide smile on his face. They shook hands again before Derek walked out with Benson and Thomas. "I need you to get some of my men ready. I've told the injured ones to rest till they are ready. So, don't disturb them," he ordered. Benson nodded once. "Alright boss but what do we do if we don't get anything to use against Frederick today?" "Something will definitely show up, I'm sure of that. Let's just wait and tell the guy not to miss anything. I'm optimistic about it," Derek assured. Benson nodded again. "Alright, I will let you know whatever happens next," he assured. Derek nodded once and got inside his car. "Where are we going, boss?" "Home. I need to take a shower, eat a
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 58: Reveal the Peter Pan
Derek's phone rang suddenly as he stepped inside the house. It was Thomas and he was waiting in the house. "Boss," he called and moved closer to him. "Where did you go? I didn't see you in the house and I was a bit worried," he explained. Derek nodded once. "Yes, I just had to deliver a letter to Clara. When Benson gets here, we will leave," he assured. Thomas nodded once. "Alright boss." The door opened almost immediately and Benson walked inside. "Boss, what's the next step?" "Frederick will leave the house soon. We will take that chance. We will make sure to get the corpse inside the house. Then, we will get the reporters to make reports publicly. When this gets around, it will be a clue for the police to show up," Derek explained. Benson nodded once. "That means the meeting wouldn't hold today. How about you and Clara then?" "It will hold because Frederick won't be arrested today. I'm sure he's not going to allow it. He would want to see me. Aside from that, I've just sent

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
