“We've checked out all the possible means, but we couldn't find anything suspicious. I know you do these things so well, so I asked Nicole to call you over,” Mr Alexander spoke to Jaden as he continued glaring at him secretly. “I need you to also get your friends hiding place. He's been away for too long and no one could reach to him!” He added strictly, staring deeply into Jaden's eyes. “I don't know where Derek is, and it's been long we talked because he's been avoiding me since the last time!” Jaden said politely, shrugging his shoulders. “I don't believe you, don't let me suspect you, or are you guys planning something against me because it will never work!” Mr Alexander said furiously to Jaden who scoffed silently. “Are you trying to control me because my father is gone?” He asked himself, his chest rising with fast breaths. “Are you guilty of something, why would anyone plan anything against you if you're innocent?” He asked Mr Alexander, his muscles twitching. “Shut up! s

What is he up to this time?” She thought to herself, as her eyes followed Derek till he sat down. “I swear, I don't know anything about this!” She mouthed to Maureen innocently. All eyes turned to Derek, as he walked in peacefully, his shoulders high and bossy. “Fuck!” Damien mumbled slowly, his face lowly tilted down like he was avoiding his stare.
