The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 64: Clara is Maribel
"Well, none of them deserve you, boss. You are more than that. You are a gem and people need to appreciate your existence in their life." Derek sighed. "Well," he remembered the box suddenly. "I was going to ask you about something. While we were renovating the library, I saw a box. Do you know anything about it?" Sophia furrowed her brows. "I had no idea there was any box in the library. What did it contain?" Derek relaxed in his chair and waved it off. "Don't you worry about that. Tell your father I have something very important to discuss with me. We should see when he returns." Sophia nodded. "Alright boss. How is being a manager coming up? You seem to be doing a great job actually." Derek grinned. "I am trying my best." Sophia smiled. "I know that. When are you going to your father's estate? It has been empty till your mother got attacked." Derek sighed. "So, you knew about my mother's incident?" Sophia nodded once. "Only my father and I know where she is currently, receiv
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 65: The Video Recorder
Max rushed out of the office and stared down at the lobby. There were indeed several reporters around, their hunting eyes scanning around for Maribel. He looked at the guy. "But is that right? Can Maribel really be Clara?" "It's what it is, boss. Everyone is talking about it already. Besides, it turned out that the dead father that Maribel was always talking about was Morris." "What! Morris!" Max's eyes went wide with shock. "No! I don't believe this! You have to look for Clara, while I inform Mr. Derek of the issue we have." "What?" The guy's eyes went wide with shock. "You heard me, George. Get the men and look for Maribel! I don't believe it until I hear it from her! And we need to get these reporters out of our lobby!" He stressed and raced towards the elevator. The elevator door opened and Thomas stepped out. Thomas' gaze searched around quickly. "Have you seen Maribel around here?" Max shook his head briefly. "No, and in fact, I was going to Mr. Derek's office. We have
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 66: Get Morris' daughter
Maribel hurried towards her car. Fortunately, she was able to enter and start the ignition before one of the men could reach her car. She turned the car, hitting some of the men in the process but she couldn't drive off as there was a car blocking her from behind. The men gathered right behind the car. "Get down, Maribel! Get out!" One of the men yelled. Maribel released a sigh and jerked back a little and pressed the accelerator. The men rushed out from behind, creating space for the car to drive out. The men were fast to move to the driver's side. "Get out, Maribel!" The men yelled again. Maribel drove out of the garage nevertheless. She released a sigh of relief. Though she knew it would be very difficult for her to get into Derek's house and retrieve the video recorder but she had to find an answer very fast. She couldn't afford to let her father down. . Benson arrived at Maribel's house, with the men. He glanced at his wristwatch, contemplating whether he was late or not
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 67: A meeting
Suddenly, the weight on her pulled off. She released a breath and coughed severally because she was already gagging. Maribel looked up and saw that four of her men were fighting off Benson's men. She closed her eyes for a moment as pain rushed into her. "Boss, I will escort you," one of them said. Maribel managed a nod. The man moved closer, slipped his arm beside her, and pulled her up. Maribel could barely walk a few minutes when she lost consciousness. Benson cursed when he saw this but there was nothing he could do about it. It looks like Maribel was going to escape after all. "Pull back!" He ordered as he watched Maribel's men move away. One of the men rushed back to Benson. "Boss, what should we do now?" "Get inside. We are getting everything useful or suspicious in the house," he announced and stepped inside with the men. . Derek placed a call to Jason. "I will be getting off work very soon. There's something I would like to ask you. So, where should we meet?" "How

"I have no idea," Jason muttered and looked away. Derek could see the anxiousness in him and the fear that suddenly flickered on his face. He needed no one to tell him before he knew that Jason was lying. Derek regarded him for a moment. "It looks like you are lying. What more is hidden from me?" he probed further. Jason released a sigh. "I don't really know anything. I mean there was no way I would know something that you don't even know." Derek released an exasperated sigh. "Why can't I know about them?" He released angrily and raked a finger through his hair. He hesitated, as different feelings overtook him. He didn't even know how he was supposed to feel. Sad? Angry, flustered? They all tried to be the main emotion but they failed and Derek became more confused. He released a sigh. "Jason, you have to tell me everything you know. Please, you really have to. I need to know everything. I mean isn't it time to? If I don't know it now, when will I?" Jason cleared his throat mea
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 69: Broken Vase
"What! Why? Are you going to pay?" Betty teased. "Does he even have the money? The amount is like half of the money he earns every month," Tim laughed. Betty became sober. "Sincerely, I told Matilda not to invite this wretched boy. He's just going to make the party less fun or were we supposed to get a hall that's less expensive because of him?" That's it! Derek has had enough. He dipped his hand into his pocket for his card. He was going to get the card with his money. "Here," a voice said suddenly, interrupting Derek of what he was about to do. He looked up at Daniel. "I will get a pass for him," he muttered with pride and stretched his card to the security guard. "Wow! Daniel!" Betty melted. "He's always a hero." Derek stared, shocked for a moment before a smile curled up at the tip of his mouth. Daniel was trying to show off. But what would he do if he discovered that he actually owned Aircastle where he worked? "Let's just go inside. The party has already started," Daniel s
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 70: Derek's new company
Derek gathered his brows amazingly. "What? What do you mean?" "You broke the vase, Derek. You did!" Betty accused him. "You must be going blind, Betty, if you truly think I did. It was Ryan that did!" He protested softly. "Why are you lying," Ryan yelled. "You broke the fucking vase? Stop lying! You moron!" He yelled. Derek felt another stab of annoyance, and he clenched his fist beside him. "Say that again!" He dared. "Or what!" "What will you do to him?" Daniel demanded in a deep tone. He moved closer to Derek and locked his shirt. "Are you trying to act funny?" He tried to move Derek but failed, Derek was stronger. Kate stepped forward. "They are all lying! It was Ryan that broke the vase." Anger shot through Ryana at this statement. "Kate!" He yelled. Kate ignored him. "Yes, that's the truth!" "Well, that means he's coming with us," one of the men revealed. Matilda looked at Ian. "Please, intervene. Don't let them take Ryan away. Speak to your father's men." Ian cleare
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 71: Kneel or Pay
Matilda turned to look at Ian. “Why did you lie? Why couldn’t you tell me the truth?” Ian looked away. There was no way he would have revealed the truth to them because they were actually going to humiliate him. And well, everything would have gone normal and no one would have noticed anything yet if Ryan hadn’t broken the vase. “Please,” Betty stepped forward. “Please, sir. Can we meet with Mr. Miller so we can plead with him?” Derek found himself smiling. The Miller they were looking for was in their midst and they didn't even know. “Well, Mr. Miller isn't someone you can meet with like that and no one will leave this place without paying for the vase." "Well, it was Ryan that broke the vase. He should face the consequences. We shouldn't care what happens to him," Kate muttered in anger. "No!" Ryan yelled. "You can't do that, you just can't!" He screamed with desperation. Daniel regarded Ryan for a moment. "Yes, he's right. We shouldn't leave him alone in this mess. We all kno

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
