The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 100: Weakness
One of Morris' men was pointing a gun at Nick from one side. Derek saw this and pushed Nick down with himself.Fear gripped Nick. "What's happening?" "I told you we wouldn't die, didn't I?"Nick's eyes went wide with shock. "The men came for you?""Take cover if you don't want to die and stop asking questions. We will talk later after all this is all over," he assured.Derek watched Nick move behind a car before he looked at what Morris' men were up to.Benson and the men were in the car shooting. They drove right in the middle of Morris' men and Derek.Morris' car pulled out of the garage immediately. The men that were siding with Derek were many and he wasn't with half of his men.Within minutes of exchanging bullets, some of Morris' men received shots as well as three of Derek's men.Soon enough, they all pulled out of the garage.Benson hurried out to the car, towards Derek. "Are you alright, boss?"Nick stepped out from where he was hiding. "Boss?" He repeated as if tasting the

Maribel awoke suddenly with a sense of doom.She coughed once, then twice before she opened her eyes and stared around her.The first person she saw was Nick."Nick?" She called softly.Nick got up and moved closer. A smile spread across his face as he watched Clara. "How do you feel now?"Maribel didn't answer immediately. She wondered where she was and why she was there. And then, it all came back to her."Morris_," she called softly. Her face was etched soberly. "He poisoned me. My father poisoned me," she sobbed quietly."It's ok," Nick consoled, took her hand in his, and massaged softly. "It's ok. You are ok now."Maribel continued to cry. Nick watched her for a moment. "There is actually more to know, Clara. Like the fact that Morris isn't your father and you shouldn't cry for him like this."Maribel hesitated, as shock took over her. "What?"Nick nodded once. "We've found your real father."Maribel sucked in a breath, surprised. "What?"Nick chuckled. "Exactly! And it's a twi
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 102: The real Clara
For a moment, Maribel couldn't talk. She was too shocked to speak.She huffed and looked away as she tried to look for the right words to qualify what was on her mind. "This is not possible! It can't be!" She protested softly. "There's no way Miller would be my father. There's no way I will be your sister. It's not possible! Is this a lie? Is this supposed to be a prank?" She yelled."We are saying the truth, Annabelle.""Don't call me that!" Maribel yelled. "Im_not Annabelle," she sobbed softly, her voice failing her. "I'm Clara," she whispered. Sophia released a sigh, perturbed. "We know that you are still confused. But I want you to understand this," she sighed. "Morris has done a lot to damage your family. You need to come back home, you really need to," she uttered.Maribel couldn't talk. She didn't even know what to say. A lot of feelings were mixed inside her in some sort of crazy confusion."You should remember me, Annabelle. We played together two days before you were taken
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 103: Joint work
Maribel was annoyed at everything. Her head was filled up. She didn't even know what she was supposed to think of exactly.Everything felt confusing to her. So, she had to just leave the hospital and she was able to do that unnoticed.She just had to stay in a secluded place and think about her life.She looked down at the necklace in her hands and yet, she couldn't believe it. Was she supposed to do the sibling DNA test to confirm?Even at that, she wasn't sure that she was going to believe.The whole thing made her weak and confused. "I knew you would be here," a familiar voice said suddenly.Maribel jerked up because she didn't expect anyone to discover where she was. She looked up at Nick and released a sigh of relief."What are you doing here? You all should leave me alone."Nick hesitated. "Everyone is looking for you. They are all concerned about Morris."Maribel released a sigh. "Do you also think it's possible? That I'm a daughter of Miller and I actually planned to kill my

Frederick drowned his vodkas slowly. "Peter Pan is doing a great job of hiding his identity and none of you!" He yelled in annoyance. "None of you could unreveal him?" He picked a bottle of champagne and threw it in no particular direction. It hit the wall and smashed into a thousand pieces.The men around shuddered."Peter Pan had no lead, boss. There's no way we could have traced him," one of the men responded.Frederick regarded the man for a moment before he picked up a bottle and threw it at him. It hit his head and he started bleeding."If you don't fucking know to get Peter Pan, don't fucking talk or I'm going to cut off your head. I need you to get me Peter Pan and as fast as possible!" He hollered at them.The men bowed their heads in shame and guilt.Frederick sat up suddenly. "Wait a minute. Benson still works for Peter Pan?" It wasn't really a question but everyone nodded all the same.A smile formed at the tip of Frederick's mouth. "If we can't locate Peter Pan directly,
The Rise Of A Secret Heir Chapter 105: in the trap
The elders were speechless for a few minutes."What! You've seen Morris' face?" It was Stephen who asked, with shock on his face.Derek nodded once. "I have," he muttered. "And well, he knew who I was as well. He recognized me which means war already started without the indication," he declared.The elders mussed."What is your plan, boss? Because like I've said earlier, Morris isn't a soft man. He's not easily defeated.""There's a plan but you will all have to get involved in it," He hesitated and regarded them for a moment. "I am going to show some of you what Morris looks like. Then we will start from there."The elders nodded in agreement. "Besides, Morris will be in the trillionaire meeting," Benson said suddenly.Derek looked at him with shock. "He will?"Benson nodded once. "Yes. He's the president. He has been the president for three consecutive terms now.""Really?" Derek was shocked. "How come no one has taken from him?""Well." Benson shrugged slightly. "No one is fit eno

Mabel hesitated as she thought of what to do. She released a sigh and suddenly went on her knees.She couldn't contain the embarrassment but she had no choice. She had to save her head."I'm sorry, Derek. I'm very sorry. Please, forgive me," she pleaded softly.Derek smiled softly. "One more thing, you are not to inform Amelia that you saw me tonight. I will definitely come for you If you do."Mabel nodded quickly. "I won't."Derek looked at Herbert and signalled for him."You can leave," Herbert muttered and she scampered away."Where did you know her from?" Albert inquired, anger still vivid in his voice. "She's so disrespectful.""What should we do with the manager?" Herbert asked suddenly.Derek raised a skeptical brow. "The manager?""Yes, you didn't know?" Albert smiled. "Well, since you are the owner of Beacon Hills, you could have him fired."The manager's eyes widened with shock and fear gripped him instantly. "What!" Derek was the next to be shocked. He looked at Albert. "H

"We have to stop her! We need to stop her," Sophia muttered with fear. She couldn't stop panicking.Annabelle might die for real. She might not be able to make it this time around.Derek felt even more frustrated. He mentally slapped himself. He was never going to forgive himself if anything bad happened to Annabelle."What are you going to do now?"Derek looked at Sophia. "She did state where she was going and what we are actually going to do."Sophia nodded once. "Alright.""And you have to go home, Sophia."Sophia shook her head briefly. "I'm not going anywhere until I hear that everything is fine."Derek turned to Sophia again. He slowly pulled her closer so that she was forced to stare up at him. He was two inches taller."I've got this, Sophia. Trust me but you also need to be alright, you know right?"Sophia nodded once, captivated by his eyes. She had been slowly getting so mesmerized by Derek that she wasn't sure if she was ever going to stop.Maybe it was too late and there

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
