The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 73: useless son-in-law
Frederick banged his hand on the table several times. "How! Just how? When did that boy become the new Peter Pan?" He yelled.Five men stood in front of him, in fear. "I can even hear it in his voice that he's so young. How dare he come at me?" He hollered at no one in particular."Boss, we will get him," one of the men swore.Frederick sent him an icy stare. "We will do this in my way," he released a sigh, as he thought about it. "I need to see the person under that Diamond's mask and that's what you are going to do for me."The men looked up at him at once.Frederick looked away, a smile suddenly appearing on his face. "Tell our men their new mission.""Kill Peter Pan?" One of the men inquired."Not yet. Besides, you won't be able to kill him like that. He's smart. We should know his weakness, which is his identity.""Though, that's where it's still coming to, I desperately need to see what he looks like. There must be a reason why he's hiding. Perhaps he's someone that knows me ve
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 74: Withdrawn order
"I don't have your time and I'm not here as a son-in-law, I'm here for business," Derek muttered and moved forward Zayn with Thomas.Daniel and the other men blocked his way, thereby preventing him from moving forward."Oh," Zayn laughed. "Business?" He mocked. "You? Business?"Derek regarded Daniel for a moment, with clenched teeth. "Get out of my way!" He warned."Or what? Do you even know the position I hold in this company? I could have the security guards throw you this moment," Daniel boasted.Derek huffed. "Seriously?"Daniel made a sly smile. "Watch me," he muttered and turned to the men behind him. "Throw him out.""What the fuck is happening here?" Sophia hollered suddenly. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. A frown marred her face as she walked nearer. "What is all this commotion about?""Ask this fool over here," Zayn muttered and gestured at Derek.Sophia looked at Derek. "Please, Mr. Derek. Let's go inside."Zayn was taken aback by this statement. "What do you mea

"What! How is that possible?" The secretary yelled but the line was already off.Zayn looked at her. "Is something wrong?"The secretary looked at him and sighed. "We lost the order.""What! Do you mean we lost the order to Derek?""Yes boss, we just did. I don't know why Mr. Miller made this decision but I'm so sure Miss Sophia betrayed us as well," she explained.Zayn turned away in anger. He couldn't believe he lost the order because of Derek."What are we going to do, Boss?"Zayn clenched his fist in anger. "Derek has to leave. It's the only way," he muttered.He knew exactly what to do. He would have to force Derek to reject the order and it would be his. That was the only way. He had gone far already and he couldn't afford to stay back. He wouldn't lose to someone like Derek..Derek stepped inside the office with Thomas.Max was already waiting with Mr. Mavi. On seeing Derek, Max moved closer to him."Boss, welcome back. Do we have good news?"Derek ignored his questions and m
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 76: Coming for him
Derek gathered his brows in shock. He couldn't believe his ears. "What? My sister is alive?" He couldn't help the happiness that coursed through him. "Where is she? Why don't I know about her?"Fred released a sigh and looked at Sophia. "You have seen her before if you could remember. The boss brought her over to my place that day."Sophia squeezed her brows as she tried to think about it. "I remember now!" She said suddenly and moved to sit beside Derek. "I do remember her. "Ana, right?"Derek's chest tightened and he nodded once. "I saw her birth certificate. She's Ana. But where is she?" He directed the question at Fred."The last time I saw her, Derek, she was alive but I can't say now. Perhaps she's dead."Derek raised a confused brow at him. "Why did my father presume she was dead when she wasn't at that time?"Fred released an exasperated sigh. "Morris wanted a business deal. He told your father to back away but he didn't. So, his punishment was taking Anabelle," he hesitate
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 77: Affection
"But I don't really think we should go this way," Fred stuttered. "I mean Morris is a mafia lord as well, a fearful one at that. One of you will die," he muttered the last statement,as if scared of the way it sounded. Derek regarded him for a moment. "I'm not going to back down so easily and I'm going to do all I can to fight Morris. I will make sure I don't lose," he muttered with determination. Fred cupped his face in his hand. He felt dejected and exhausted. "And," Derek continued. "It's your choice to decide if to join me or not. You can either join me or be my enemy." "You need to calm down." Fred stood up again and shook his head briefly. "You need to take this slowly. Any single mistake and you will die. We don't even know what Morris looks like. How do we fight him if we don't even know that little thing?" He complained. "Well," Sophia responded quickly, just as Derek opened his mouth to talk. "If Derek could unreveal Clara's identity, then he would be able to do that to M
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 78: The necklace
"I'm optimistic about it but I still have to keep my identity a secret until it's all over. I just hope it gets over very soon," Detek muttered."I know you can actually. I didn't even imagine you could unravel Clara like that. I really want to join your course this time."Derek smiled softly. "Though, I'm kind of bothered. Could my sister still be alive, there won't be a way to recognize her. It has been years already."Sophia didn't respond and instead, continued to stare at the pendant on Derek's neck."What's that?""What?" Derek demanded and traced her eyes towards the pendant. "This?" He smiled softly. "I think it's a family heirloom. Though, I saw two in the box with different numbers. Since mine is 'V' I presume it's 'Love' in full," he explained."I've seen that, though with the letter 'O' on Annabelle. I remember correctly because she wouldn't let me touch it."Derek frowned as he regarded the pendant for a moment. "There was no 'O' in the box. Could it be_," his eyes widene
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 79: The Date
Amelia couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Mom, are you kidding me?"It was late in the night when her mother came to her room to inform her that Mr. Miller would like to have dinner with her at any restaurant of her choice. Even though she was the first beauty of the Williams family, she didn't expect to have caught the fancy of a popular and wealthy man like Miller.Ann sighed, perturbed. "I sincerely don't know what else you are looking for. Mr. Miller wants to have dinner with you. Is that so hard for you to do?"Amelia regarded her mother for a moment, as different thoughts went through her mind. She found it difficult to believe that Mr. Miller actually wanted to have dinner with her without her mom interfering."No!" Amelia shook her head briefly. Though she was very glad that she had gotten rid of her useless husband, she didn't want a replacement, not so fast actually."What did you do, Mom? I'm sure you did something. Why would Mr. Miller want to have dinner with me?"An
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 80: Kill Derek
Before the man could blink, Derek stood up quickly. He hit his hand so fast and so hard that the man winced.The gun dropped from his hand and the man screamed in pain.Derek didn't let it cool down and hit the man in the chest, sending him reeling backward.The others looked at Derek with shock in their eyes."Get him!" One of the men yelled in annoyance and they lodged an attack at Derek at the same time.He dodged one of the punches and gave the sender an uppercut. He delivered a spinning kick to his side and sent him staggering backward.Derek faced the next opponent but he was too slow as he received a kick to his stomach. Derek staggered back briefly but soon regained his composure. He jumped up and kicked him. The man went unconscious immediately.The last man regarded Derek for a moment with fear in his eyes. He looked at the men groaning on the floor and suddenly took to his heels.Derek released a sigh and wiped the perspiration off his forehead. He walked to the boss who wa

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
