Chapter 31.
“My son was fucking involved in this mess too!” Mr Williams roared at the new headlines. Rumors went about that Mr Williams had bad intentions towards the Reagan's family. And there was chaos as the two families turned to sworn enemies. Just as Derek planned, he watched them fight from a distance. Zilot began to gradually handle his father's affairs, becoming more strict and dangerous than his father. His father was hospitalized and being taken care of. “I will make sure they pay with their life!” Zilot fired in front of his men, pacing up and down in deep thoughts. “How can my father be the only one affected, out of the whole people at the party? Something is not right!” Zilot growled in anger. “We will pay them a visit soon,” he whispered through clenched teeth, a slow dangerous smirk spread through his face. After a few days, Mr Williams son was discharged from the hospital. He was back home regretting why he agreed to come home. But then he was eager to know who was behind t

“Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean by that,” Derek replied carefully, his voice intense. Derek was confused at Mrs Elena's words. “Oh please, shut it already. Acting all innocent when you're not anything close to it! For the past four hours, you abandoned her at the hospital. Or is it because she wants to divorce you?” Mrs Elena threw at him, glaring at him furiously. “Four…. What?” Derek stuttered, his eyes wide open as he turned to look at Nicole. He was short of words, but knew exactly that Nicole intentionally lied against him. “I've been fucking calling her number since morning, but hell no, she won't pick up! How on earth would I have known that she was in the damn hospital,” Derek retorted angrily, this time, not holding back his anger. He bursted out furiously but with a fierce cold voice. “You all believe this two faced fool! I shouldn't be surprised though. Don't push the blames on me please,” he said and walked out on her. “Bravo! You now have the courage to

“No!….what?!”He screamed in pain, slumping on the ground where he stood. He cried like a baby, wailing bitterly. “Dad, I failed you again!” He snorted, crying bitterly, “I couldn't protect the only thing you left behind!” He mumbled through broken heart. He heard voices, they were talking in whispers. He quietly stood up wiping his tears and tiptoed closer, holding his breath as he walked. “Now we have burned the house, his legacy is gone forever! We can move forward with other things,” Derek paused in confusion, that was not Zilot's voice. It was a familiar voice, more elderly and intense than that of Zilot. “Mr Williams?” Derek whispered in shock, “how is he the one burning the house?” He chest was rising with fast breaths. “Reagan is already paralyzed, his recovery will take a long time. So we will proceed with the arrangements to make me the next General of this space!” He muttered with satisfaction, scoffing softly. “Zilot took the Sacred scroll, but that is not my problem

“Is there something you are not telling me? Because why would you ask me to tag along?” Derek asked with a frown, tucking his hands in his pockets. “You can say anything you want! I just made it clear, so that you wouldn't have to drag anything with him at the office!” She replied nonchalantly, pressing her lips together in a thin line. Derek stared at her for a while, “how are you even this heartless?” He thought to himself, shaking his head without saying anything loud. “You should be glad, that you haven't been taken out of the company affairs,” Mrs Elena added sarcastically, raising her nose in mockery. “Well, that would have been more clear than asking me to tag along! I have been there a long time before he came!” Derek said loudly, and left the room. “Did you hear that? He is so arrogant with nothing,” Maureen's mom said to her, drawing her eyebrows together. “Just leave him, he is frustrated already!” Maureen muttered casually and went back to sleep. She was supposed to

Derek froze instantly, his chest rising with fast breaths. “I didn't do this,” he mumbled through a clenched jaw, his fist tightened. He was really short of words because this scenario was hard to convince. “Are you denying something that has clear evidence? Fine then, who sent it? Me? Of course!” Mr Alexander yelled, moving out of the office. “I thought you were beginning to become useful somewhere.” “You just hope they don't take this damn thing seriously, because if they cancel that contract!” Mr Alexander fired, pausing on his steps, he took a step closer to where Derek stood frozen. “I will surely make you pay!” He whispered and left. He stopped at the door, “From today onwards, nothing should be done without Nicole's consent!” He added and left. The secretary's eyes widened all those while. Derek rubbed his neck in frustration, as he went back to his desktop. Checked the email again and it was just as seen. He exhaled heavily, tapping his hands on his desk. “This is getting

“You know I can't do such a thing, you just chose not to believe me!” Derek muttered, and shoved her quietly out of the way. “You are so unbelievable, you want to pull down a hard earned contract because of jealousy?” She shouted behind him but Derek didn't care. They all glared at him furiously, but he didn't bother, he went into his room and locked the door furiously. He freshened up and slumped on his bed. A few days later, Maureen's mom left their house, leaving Maureen to the housekeeper and Derek. Derek had been quiet for some days. “Steph will be coming back on weekend, to help in the company,” Maureen said to Derek as he was preparing for work. Derek nodded slowly, he had been laying low for a while now, both at the office and at home. Steph is Maureen's younger sister, who had been in college off state. She barely comes home, so it's normal that she is coming back after a long while. “How has work been going at the office?” Maureen asked eagerly, trying to make Derek ta

“It was just a simple question that requires a simple answer,” Derek replied calmly, not trying to create a fuss. “I go into any office whenever I feel like, and I don't owe you any explanation!” He retorted with a frown and went into his own office. Derek waved his head and scoffed. They had a board meeting in the afternoon, which required Nicole and Derek to attend, in the absence of Maureen. Mr Williams came to the board meeting with his daughter Jessie, introducing her as his new assistant. Derek and Jessie's eyes met and she recognized him. Although Derek tried pretending by darting his eyes off. “Hi, you're the guy from the other day right….the party?” She followed him up immediately, after the meeting ended. “Uhmm…yes.. Thank you for the last time!” He stammered looking for the right word to use. Derek turned to leave. “Hold on, you are a part the meeting? I was thinking you were just a random driver that night,” she muttered calmly with a smile, offering a handshake. De

Before Nicole could reach his phone, the call had already ended. He glared at his phone screen, it was a private number. “Your door needs need to be fixed immediately to avoid another attack!” One of the men whom Nicole barked at, said to him, drawing his attention from his phone. “What the fuck! Did he break my door? He's so lucky today but not another day,” he muttered as if he could face him publicly if he sees him. Nicole watched his door as one of the men, tried patching it up fit for managing till morning. “This should serve as punishment, since you failed in your duties of protecting this whole place,” he mumbled through clenched teeth, his chest was still in fast breaths as the thoughts of what just happened filled his mind. “Who could this be?” He thought to himself, his lips pursed in thoughts, his feet slowly tapping the floor. He went back, tried tracing the private number but it was impossible to trace. Nicole exhausted, exhaled deeply and slumped on his couch in pai

“What the fuck did you tell Maureen?” Derek fired at Nicole, as he badged into his office without knocking. Derek's glare at him was as dangerous as an angry bird. “What did she tell you? I just said I didn't see the document she asked for!” Nicole replied nonchalantly, raising his hands in the air drawing his eyebrows together. Derek rushed to his desk, searched, flipping all the documents on his desk. He pulled all the papers to the floor, making a mess of the whole office. “If you are playing games with me, you better stop it! You won't like the outcome of this shit you are pulling!” Derek warned him, pointing his fingers at him. Nicole scoffed, scratching his head lightly. “Are you threatening me for your own carelessness?” Nicole said to him, and just as Derek was about to blow his face. Mr Alexander walked in with one of their business associates, leaving Derek's hand hanging in the air. “Fuck!” Derek whispered to himself, bringing down his hands slowly. As he bowed slightl

“I think I might need to move out of the house for a while! I would come visiting from time to time,” Derek mumbled through clenched jaw, his fist tightening. Jaden pulled up in front of his condo, not taking him to the hotel. He had been staying in the condo alone since Derek left to marry Maureen. Initially the condo belongs to Derek. “What about your child? Don't you fear they might deny you access to the child?” Jaden asked curiously, walking slowly behind Derek. Derek scoffed with a furious laughter, “Are you seriously asking me that question? You know they can't do that, you talk as if I'm also a child or something!” Derek muttered softly, slumping on one of the couches as they got in. “So what is your next plan? How do you intend to expose Nicole and his tricks?” Jaden asked inquisitively, getting him a glass of wine. “I will have it all planned out, but I will go home today and see what Maureen's reactions would be like!” He said with narrowed eyes, sipping from his glass
