The lady hesitated. "I'm really sorry. I must have missed my way," she apologised quickly and turned to leave. She stopped suddenly and turned to look at Derek again."It's you?"Derek blinked once, then twice. He didn't understand what was happening. The woman looked somehow familiar to him but he couldn't place her face."Sorry? Do you know me?"She nodded once. "The Wittelsbach?" She murmured.Realisation dawned on Derek instantly. It was the lady he met at the Williams house, the day he went there to give Amelia the Wittelsbach ring."I'm Cynthia," she smiled as if glad to see him. "And you?"Derek blinked once. Doesn't she know who he was? That he was Amelia's ex-husband?"Derek, Amelia's ex-husband," he introduced and hid the mask under the table.Cynthia regarded him in shock. "Amelia's ex-husband?" She repeated as if tasting the sound of it. Derek watched her for a moment, though, amusing to him. "Now that you are aware, you should excuse yourself."Cynthia hesitated, and the

"Fuck you!" Robin yelled in anger and hurried forward.Yet again, Thomas stood in front of Derek, stopping Robin in his tracks.Robin regarded Thomas for a moment, as hot anger coursed through him. He felt agitated, worried, and sad. But he knew there was no way he would be able to do anything at that moment."You will regret this!" He muttered instead, his eyes brimming fire before he pulled back with his men.When Cynthia pulled back, the next thing that Derek noticed was Robin's retreating steps.He pulled back as well, though still shocked. "You didn't have to do that."Cynthia looked everywhere but him. "I'm sorry. It was the only thing I could think of at that time."Derek regarded her for a moment. "Are you ok, by the way?"Cynthia nodded once and unconsciously pulled back the rebellious hair on her face. "I will leave now then."Derek was still watching her. "I will escort you home if I must," he said quickly. "I must ensure that you arrive home safely."Cynthia looked up at h
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 86: His sister
Maribel knocked the gun off Derek at that moment of distraction and tried to get up.Thomas knocked her down quickly and Maribel lost consciousness.Derek released a sigh, shaken already by what had just happened.Thomas looked up at Derek. "Are you alright, boss?"Derek nodded once. "I'm fine," he muttered but his gaze was still on the necklace around Maribel's neck.Thomas traced his gaze. "Is something wrong, boss?"Derek nodded again. "That necklace looks like mine. If it does, then it definitely belongs to my sister."Thomas nodded once. "That can actually be the case. If Morris took your sister, then he could have given his daughter the necklace. It's a very expensive one."Derek nodded and got up. "Take her into one of the rooms and have her tied up.""Alright boss. I only knocked her down a bit. She will be awake very soon," he reported.Derek nodded once, with satisfaction. "And be very careful with her. She's currently our greatest asset.""Alright boss," he muttered, scoope
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 87: The same Mole
It was impossible! Clara was Morris' daughter but Derek couldn't stop thinking about it."Boss! She's lying! Don't believe her!" Thomas said quickly.Derek watched her for a moment. It was at that moment that he remembered who she looked like. She had a resemblance that matches his mother.The way her face contoured when she looked surprised and the way her face shifted when she smiled.Yet, it wasn't possible."Leave us," Derek said suddenly.Thomas looked at Derek as if he didn't hear correctly."I will like a few minutes with her, alone," he ordered.Thomas nodded once, bowed slightly, and walked out.Derek waited for Thomas to successfully step out of the room before he pulled a chair closer to Maribel."I can see a familiar look on your face, Clara. You seem to have a lot of questions."Maribel regarded him for a moment. "I would rather ask my father, actually, because I can't possibly believe my enemy.""And what makes me your enemy? Because your father chose me to be one?""You

Derek felt Clara shuddered under him before he pulled back.He looked at her. "Cooperate with me and you will go unharmed," he muttered and finally walked out.Thomas moved closer to him. "Boss, is everything alright?"Derek hesitated, still bothered. He glanced back as if he could still look at her. He didn't want to talk because it would definitely sound absurd.How could he explain that he and Morris' daughter had the same Mole?Perhaps, it was normal."She's going to write a letter to Morris now," he started, ignoring his question. "She's going to inform him that she has been held hostage by me and I'm not going to release her if he doesn't release my sister," he explained. "But will that really work? What if Morris sends his men to get her out? He would definitely know where you stay and he has a lot of men working for him."Derek thought about it briefly. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't think of any better option."I need to challenge Morris to make him give

Amelia was still fuming with rage. She couldn't believe what happened the night before. She couldn't forget the disgrace she shared.The door opened suddenly and Ann walked inside."Amelia," she called softly.Amelia ignored her and continued with what she was doing.Ann released a sigh. "You have to tell me what really happened last night. You have been usually quiet," she whined.Amelia sighed and regarded her mother for a moment. Mr Miller was right actually. How could she leave a man like Derek and want Mr Miller? If it wasn't because of money, what was there?"Amelia," Ann called softly. "Did something really happen? Were you able to see what Mr. Miller looked like?"Amelia hesitated and looked up at her mother. "Mom, I'm not interested. Just let me be. If you won't do that for me in this office, I will leave," she warned and resumed what she was doing.Ann released a sigh and eventually walked out of the office.A soft knock sounded on the door almost immediately.Amelia groaned

"What!" Daniel couldn't believe his ears. He turned to look at the secretary. "You won't dare do that!" He yelled. He was angry and fuming with rage.Cara bowed slightly, in response to what Derek had said."You wouldn't dare! Do you know the position I hold at Aircastle? Do you know why I'm here? You don't dare tamper with my salary!" He rattled off.Derek ignored his remark and looked at Cara instead. "You are dismissed," he ordered. "And get some security guards over here to walk this nuisance out of my office."Cara bowed slightly and walked out of the office."No! I won't accept this!" Daniel yelled. "I'm going to write a petition! This won't be! I assure you! It won't!" He expressed and walked out of the office too.Derek smiled, satisfied. It felt good to give Daniel a taste of his own medicine."Boss, are you yet to decide what to do?" Thomas asked suddenly.Derek released a sigh and massaged his temple slightly. "I'm waiting on Sophia before I can decide."Thomas raised a con

Derek looked at Cynthia. "I'm sorry but I have to pick up this call. Goodnight and do take care of yourself," he muttered and moved away.He pulled out the phone and released a sigh because it was Thomas."Hello, Thomas.""Hello boss, we discovered something. One of Frederick's men is taking this guy around, to identify you. Obviously, Frederick is trying to unreveal who you really are," he explained.Derek nodded once, a smile on his face. "He has to die," he muttered. "You and Thomas should find a way to get rid of him.""Alright boss," Thomas responded. He hesitated briefly. "I don't actually feel good leaving you alone like this.""I'm fine, I have guards at home. So, I will be fine," he assured.Thomas released a sigh. "I'm talking about now and before you get home. You should assign two men to yourself for a case like this."Derek smiled. "I will be fine, Thomas. Do what I asked you to and get back to me. I will be waiting for you," he affirmed."Yes, boss."The line went off an

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
