The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 92: Revelation
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

"I don't need to! I know my father's true colour!" She argued.Derek released a sigh. "Don't miss this opportunity, Clara. Well, it's not going to affect you in any way. If he truly is your father, you will get to see what he looks like. And if he's not_," he smiled softly, "Then you will know how grateful you will be."Maribel huffed. "I don't need your help!" Derek took a step backward. "Your choice but I will still do this as a parting gift. I don't have anything against you anyway. Your father is the one that offended me and so, he would be the one to pay for it."Maribel regarded him for a moment. "I don't need your help, Derek. Fight for yourself. You need to find a way to escape Morris' wrath. You must think that would be very easy for you to do," she spat out. "You will die like your father did if you aren't careful."Derek shrugged. "Briefly. Five days, Clara. Five days. Think about it. I will be here tomorrow morning for your decision," he finished and turned around to leav
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 94: For Five days
"What are you doing, Clara?" Nick questioned as he walked after her. They both entered the small living room. Catherine released a sigh and stepped back. "Clara!" Nick called again, in a deep voice that pulled Maribel into a sudden stop. She dragged her breath and turned to look at Nick. "What are you doing, Clara," Nick questioned, with a voice laced with emotions. Maribel understood what he was trying to say. She had thought about it several times and could only arrive at a conclusion. "What does it look like I'm doing?" "That you could trust Derek of all people. He's Morris' enemy. And whoever is your father's enemy? He's no doubt your enemy as well." "I understand that clearly," she murmured. "I do, Nick or do you think I'm that foolish?" Nick held her closely by her shoulders. "I'm not saying you are foolish, i'm just trying to say you should avoid trouble." "I will, Nick but I really need to do this," she released a sigh. "This is the only way to find answers. Rememb

Nick pulled up and looked at Maribel. "Are you alright?"Maribel nodded once, with a smile. "I'm fine. Let's do this."Nick nodded once, got out of the car, rounded it, and opened the door for Maribel.They stepped inside the house.Maribel hesitated as she regarded the man in the living room for a moment. She smiled softly. "Good day, Max."Max turned around to look at Maribel. There was a flicker of emotion on his face. It looked as though he was surprised but the feeling vanished the moment it appeared."Clara," he called softly.Max smiled instead. "What are you doing here, Clara?"Maribel smiled softly. "I don't think that should be the next question. Or am I not allowed into my father's house anytime you want?""Of course, you are. Just that your father isn't around at this moment."Maribel nodded once. "Then, I will wait for him," she looked at Nick. "You can make yourself at home. Let's wait for my father to return."Nick bowed slightly."I don't think you should be here actua
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 96: Posion her
Maribel got up just as the maid walked out. She walked out of the room.It was getting late into the night. So, everywhere was quiet. However, there was no information from Max about her father.It was as if Morris didn't want to see her, as always.She tiptoed into the living room and made a cross towards the other wing, the place where the maid said Morris's room was.Soft footsteps were coming towards her. She pulled back, just as one of the security guards walked past her.She waited for a few minutes before she walked out from where she was. There was a big door ahead of her.She hesitated. What if there was a lock in the room? How was she supposed to enter?She moved closer and opened the door.She released a relieved sigh at the fact that there wasn't any lock. She entered with ease."Yes, she's here," a deep, yet familiar voice said suddenly. "I've been trying your number for a while now but it wasn't available."The door creaked open and Maribel hurried into one corner so fas

Clara glanced back. “Max isn’t coming after us. Are you sure he really wanted to poison me?”“Would I say something I didn’t see? Trust me, Max really wanted to kill you. What I'm skeptical about is Morris's involvement. Would Max try such a thing against you without receiving an order from Morris?”Clara released a sigh. “I don’t believe my father can do that, Nick. Besides, Max doesn’t like me. He could always try shit with me because he thinks he could get away with it.”Nick sighed, bothered. No matter what he said, Clara would not believe him. Clara has always looked up to Morris all her life. In fact, she had done things she didn’t want because she merely wanted to please Morris. So, it would be very difficult to change her mind against him.Clara’s phone rang suddenly. She regarded the phone for a moment. “It's my dad!” she announced and picked it up. “Hello, father.”“You came over to my house?”“Yes, father,” Clara released a sigh. “I called you severally but you didn’t pick

Derek darted at his wristwatch. "We are ten minutes earlier. Are the men at the agreed location?"Benson nodded once. "They are. They are only waiting for your order. But are you sure this isn't a trap?"Derek looked at him. "What do you think it can be a trap?""Well," Benson shrugged slightly. "I can't trust this Nick or whatever his name is. Besides, why should we trust Clara? All because you want to see what Morris looks like?"Well, Derek didn't tell him about Clara, just yet because he didn't know how he was going to take it."Clara and I had a deal and I'm sure she's not going to betray me.""But_," he started but was pulled to a stop when a car suddenly approached them.Thomas got out of the car and moved closer to Derek. "There's truly a condo that belongs to Morris," he announced.Derek felt agitated. "Is he around?""Not yet. But Clara and Nick are around."Benson released a sigh. "Boss_"Derek looked at him. "Am I still the Peter Pan?"Benson hesitated but slowly nodded. "
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 99: Faced with the devil
Shock kept him motionless and speechless for a moment.He was too late.Maribel was on the floor, vomiting blood while Nick was beside her, in tears. "I told you not to come," Nick muttered in anguish as he held Maribel in his arms."Clara!" Derek yelled uncontrollably and raced closer to her. "Clara!"He zoomed off for a few minutes as he beheld Maribel. The pain in her eyes or the tears that seemed to be coming out non-stop.Derek looked at Nick. "What the fuck happened? Where's Morris?"Nick opened his mouth to talk but the words were suddenly stuck in his throat. "Gone, he's gone. He poisoned her."Derek's heart almost stopped beating. "What! Poisoned?""Yes, and he left a few minutes ago. You should have seen his car. He made the security guards stay outside until Clara was dead," Nick explained.Derek remembered the car that zoomed past him earlier. Without thinking much, he scooped her into his arms and looked at Nick. "Open the damn door!" He was literally screaming.Nick co

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
