"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
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
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
Shock kept him speechless and motionless for what seemed like an eternity. He even forgot to breathe. "Derek," Sophia called softly when she noticed the change in him. She actually expected him to release a sigh of relief at the fact Clara wasn't his sister. Well, she didn't expect the current change in his expression. "Is something wrong with the result?" Sophia inquired softly but Derek was still too shocked to say anything. Sophia regarded him for a moment before she took the paper from him. She stared long at the review. "What!" She exclaimed, totally shocked. "This is unbelievable!" She muttered as she read through. "Just how? How?" Derek shook his head briefly. "It's not possible right? Clara can't possibly be my sister. Morris's daughter can't possibly be my long-lost sister!" He protested. "But_," Sophia hesitated. "Wait a minute, since it's true that Clara is your sister. I can't believe Morris sent a sister to kill her brother?" She hissed. "So wicked!" Derek had dif
