The voice paused for a while and then spoke up, “I'm Damien, from the GRAVOS group of companies!” He said calmly, his voice a bit intense. Derek's eyes narrowed slowly, as he tried to remember where he had heard that name before. “Mr Damien, how may I help you?” He asked curiously, his eyes darting anxiously as his lips pursed in thoughts. Before Damien could talk, Derek's eyes widened sharply. “Gravos company? Damien? Wait a minute!” He thought to himself shockingly. “That's the name of Mr Alexander's worst enemy and rival company?” He whispered slowly, adjusting himself from the couch he sat on. “Why is he calling me out of nowhere? We have never seen or talked face to face. I only heard about him from Maureen and her father!” He mumbled to himself, scratching his neck gently. “Uhm.. I guess you don't know me, or maybe you must have heard about me from your father-in-law,” he stated gently, pausing a little to make sure Derek was listening. “Mr Damien _” “Okay, fine, I can se

Derek reached the Gravos company, upon entering he was welcomed dearly like they knew him. “Looks suspicious though!” He murmured to himself, tilting his head to one side. “Welcome Sir, this way please,” a young beautiful lady came to welcome him with a little curved smile. Derek paused on his footsteps to stare at her curiously. “How come you all are welcoming me like that, without any form of introduction?” he asked her eagerly, folding his hands on his chest..“Uhm… Sorry sir, but we have long been waiting for you and we are following instructions from the boss,” she replied softly, bowing slightly to him. Derek raised his eyebrows slightly, in surprise. He followed her behind, walking into the elevator. “Hold on, where are you taking me to?” He asked curiously, refusing to go further. “Sorry Sir, but the CEO's office is upstairs, and he instructed me to bring you there. Sorry my name is Reese, I'm his secretary?” She explained calmly, and Derek exhaled slowly as they continued

“Hell no! Anyone under a mask can easily be identified by close looks!” Nicole doubted Jaden with a curious look. “I'm just so confused, but it could be possible that he arranged himself smoothly!” Jaden said and before Nicole could speak again, the call already ended. “Is there a problem?” Maureen asked again, blinking steadily. Nicole waved his head and walked past her, back into the company. Maureen glared angrily at him, the pain on her cheeks came back again with a huge headache. She followed Nicole behind, but her father's call came in immediately. “Hello dad_” “We have a new business deal to secure, the meeting will be held tomorrow at the location I will be sending to you,” Mr Alexander said sharply, not minding what she wanted to say initially. “Maureen?” He called her strictly, making Maureen raise her eyebrows slowly. Whenever her father gives out information and calls her strictly like that, it means the meeting was very important. “Yes dad,” she responded calmly, p

“Do you have anything to say to me, Jaden?” Derek asked quietly, his voice low in pretence. “Any informations for me?” He added softly. He quietly pulled his car to a stop in front of his condo, but still remained inside the car due to the call. “Uhm…. nothing really just that a lot has been happening since you left. I will explain everything when we meet!” He concluded calmly, while Derek nodded slowly, snorting deeply. “Okay then, I will make out time for us to see, you probably sound too serious, did anything happen to you?” Derek asked curiously, raising his eyebrows like he knew nothing at all. “No, not at all, I'm perfectly fine and good. Like I said, I will explain everything whenever we meet!” He repeated again, his voice quieter than before. Derek nodded in agreement and the call ended. Derek hissed loudly and walked back into his condo. After he has freshened up, he sat down to look closely at the contract deal between them and Mr Alexander's company. He nodded slowly w

“Dad, can we talk privately for a minute!” Maureen whispered bitterly, pressing her lips together in a thin line. Nicole glared at Derek who glared back at him with a smirk. “Please, we will be right back!” Mr Alexander said as they all took a few steps away from the meeting room. “Dad, what exactly is going on here, I clearly don't understand this?” Maureen asked quietly in anger, taking quick glances at Derek. “Are you blind or something, we were all here right now, when he came in. Oh, you think this is funny to me huh!” Her father fired at her furiously, reducing his voice as he looked back. “Please this is not the time to showcase anger! I think we should find a way to humiliate Derek. Can't you call your old friend out so we could talk to him privately!” Nicole suggested immediately, while Mr Alexander's eyes darted in thoughts. “That could have been a good idea, but sadly I am the last person Damien would trust again!” Mr Alexander explained in pain, as they all looked at

“Why are you all screaming like it's a big deal! It's quite simple, take the offer and meet the target!” Derek mumbled softly, shrugging his shoulders. “And who is asking for your opinion? We can clearly read the contract Mr man!” Nicole fired at him, looking at Damien for some kind of approval. But Damien just tilted his head down, not saying a word. “Well, that explains it all, since you didn't ask for my opinion, I guess it's all settled. By the end of three months, we will be expecting a detailed account for all profits and shares gained, and if it doesn't meet the written target, the contract will be terminated or you will pay the stated fee!” Derek declared clearly, raising his eyebrows slightly. “Mr Damien, is this part of your deal or is he just making these things up,” Mr Alexander questioned immediately, unable to hold his peace. Mr Damien cleared his throat, while they waited for him to speak up. Derek was also eager to know what he would say at this point. “Uhm… sorry

Mr Alexander gradually pulled the phone out of his ear, his face furrowed in surprise. He turned around in surprise as if he was expecting to see something. “What's the problem, did something happen?” Nicole asked surprisingly, Maureen saw the look on his father's face and came down from the car. “Is he monitoring us, how did he guess about our discussion!” He whispered silently, no one heard him. Nicole and Maureen glared at him for a while, before he lightened his face slowly. “Dad! Who is that? Who called you? Was it Derek?” Maureen asked immediately, and her father looked up to her without a word. _ _ _ “Those people really want you out Derek!” Mr Damien said casually, tucking his teeth as he pulled to a stop in front of Gravos company. Derek stared at him for a while, and nodded slowly. “Uhm… they never liked me actually, so seeing me rule their deal….” He dragged his words, letting out a soft smirk, his eyes narrowing slowly. “They didn't see that coming at all! Especiall

Derek smirked slowly, running his hands through his head. “They dared me actually,” he whispered with a low voice, biting his lower lip. “You mean Mr Winston pulled this shit up!” Mr Damien asked with widened eyes, shaking his head in disbelief. “I wouldn't have believed it, if I hadn't seen what they tried doing at the meeting!” He added, exhaling slowly. “Uhmm… please can we settle this at the general office, the detective must be waiting!” One of the men, who seemed elderly interrupted them. Derek nodded sharply. “Let's do this, uhm… can you please give me some minutes. I need to get something immediately!” He said and rushed to his office. He took his phone, the original contract document and a flash drive. “Let's get going!” He said hurriedly to the men, he walked past them. “Mr Damien, I will reach out if there are any issues, but I believe I can handle them all!” He turned to him and said confidently with a smirk. On getting to the NYPD office, from behind Derek saw the th

Their faces changed immediately in the sight of excitement. “Why do you want to question him privately?” Nicole asked quietly, walking close to the detective. “That's just part of the questioning, the rest of you can wait outside. I will call you when I need anyone!” He said politely, and ushered them out including Derek. Derek smiled softly, “they are lucky, I planned to unleash all the secret cameras I have hidden amongst them. But, this already, is enough to prove them wrong. The cameras will do justice later,” he mumbled to himself while he walked out of the interrogation room. “I just have two questions for you, Mr Alexander and it's simple!” He said to him, locking the door behind him. “How did you get to find out about the fraud?” He asked gently, biting the tip of the pen he was holding. Mr Alexander looked at him strangely, scratching his neck roughly. “Why won't I find out, this is my company and I know everything that goes on in!” He replied sharply, his voice angry an

“You seem to trust your best friend a lot? Are you sure he would swear on your behalf?” The detective asked Derek curiously, as he watched him dial Jaden's number. Derek scoffed, “I don't want to imagine it, so don't ask,” Derek mumbled jokingly, tapping his fingers on the desk separating him and the detective. Meanwhile, about few seconds ago, Nicole was talking to Jaden on the phone. “I'm actually calling to tell you how far I've gone with the search! There hasn't been any traces still, so I think we should look for him amongst us! I will need you to hasten up with the arrangements of the Winston's company! I need the money man!” Jaden said to Nicole on phone, while he exhaled deeply. “So after all the headaches I got from Zilot, you want to start from where his pressure stopped!” Nicole thought to himself, standing up from where he sat with Maureen and her father. He took a few steps outside, moving away from them. “We are currently at the NYPD office, an issue broke out but!”
