Chapter 102.
“Holy shit! Derek!” Mr Lincoln screamed immediately as he entered the house, he rushed to Derek, who was breathing heavily. “Mr Lincoln,” Derek called with a faint voice and passed out. He called on the men he came with and they rushed him to the car. While he drove fastly to the hospital. “Please, hold on a bit,” he muttered bitterly, his hands tightened on his car steering. He quickly pulled up in front of a hospital, and called for an emergency. Derek was rushed to the emergency room for an operation. Mr Lincoln was not allowed to enter. He was restless, pacing up and down. He picked up his phone to call Mr Ethan and Mrs Bells to inform them of his attack. Since they were the only family he has left. “Keep an eye on him till morning. I'm sure Mr Alexander has a hand in this!” Mr Ethan said to him and the call ended. “I think so too, but we need to access his place for some evidence!” He mentioned and Mr Ethan agreed. After two days, Derek still hasn't woken up, though the s

“You look surprised! Does this belong to someone you know?” Jaden asked Derek sarcastically, a slow smirk spread through his face. “Why are you here?” Derek questioned him curiously, standing a little far away from him. Jaden's smirk increased, he stood up and began walking close to Derek. Derek stood still even though he was a bit scared. “Stop! Tell me why you broke into my house. I could sue you for trespassing!” He shouted at him angrily, his hands tucked inside his pocket. “Since you don't like me being nice, we should get straight to business!” Jaden said immediately and pulled out a gun, pointing it at Derek's head. Derek gasped shockingly, he raised his hand in surrender. Jaden walked closer to him, breathing on his face. “You should know that my presence here is a dead end!” He whispered to his ears, “move!” He shouted at him, Derek took a few steps forward with his hands still in the air. “Why are you doing this, I thought you were my friend? I thought we shared the sa

“Dad! We need to go check on the surviving suspect at the hospital. He needs to be properly guarded to avoid escape, we must get to the root of this!” Maureen said to her dad. Mr Alexander nodded slowly, but his face was filled with an unsatisfied expression. “Still, Derek should have been kept behind bars till the real culprit is found!” Mr Alexander said clearly, lowering his voice as he told them. Steph looked at her father surprisingly, waving her head slowly. The whole case was dismissed, everyone had gone except for the two parties who stood in groups, opposite to each other. “By the way, where is Nicole?” Maureen asked softly, as she turned around in search of him. “He was standing there just now!” She added gently pointing at the front where he was standing before, her voice low. Ella was quiet, She didn't dare say a word about Nicole, even though she saw him leaving hastily. “Hey, are you good?” Derek's voice came calmly from behind, they turned to glare at him. But Der

“Steph?!” Voices echoed, Maureen jumped up from her seat and rushed towards the door. She hugged Steph tightly with tears dropping from her eyes. Derek stood at that table, taking his deepest breath ever. Nicole froze at his position, his legs trembling as he stretched his head to see if Jaden was caught. “Shit! Was that why he ran off yesterday? I need to get out of here!” He murmured to himself, as he took a quick glance at Derek. He couldn't dare move because he was standing right in front of a huge crowd and the chief judge. Derek didn't even notice him, he was so engrossed at the scene before them. “Oh my goodness!” Derek murmured to himself, and a little fickle of smile and hope spread through his face. He saw Asher walk in behind Steph with two cops standing behind him. “Asher!” He whispered shockingly, and somehow Asher turned immediately like he heard him. He shrugged his shoulders with a weak smile. Derek responded to him with a satisfied nod, “But why was he not pick

“Uhm..yes…everything is fine. Just some random calls!” He stammered slowly, with a fake smile. Nicole turned and followed Mr Alexander immediately, hoping to get a call from Jaden soon. They reached the court hall, just to see that Derek was already sitting with Mr Lincoln. Their eyes met and Nicole looked away immediately, but Mr Alexander's eyes darted towards the man sitting by Derek's left. “Is that not Ethan?” He murmured silently, rubbing his eyes with the back of his palm. “What? That's Ethan! How on earth is he sitting next to Derek? Do they know each other?_” “Wait! You didn't tell me Ethan is his lawyer?” Mr Alexander's lawyer said in shock, making him snap out of his numerous thoughts and unanswered questions. “I'm not going to lie, I honestly didn't know how he knew him. I am more surprised than you are!” Mr Alexander replied to him in a low voice, fuming in anger. “There is nothing to worry about, our evidence is too strong to ignore!” Nicole interrupted them immed

Derek pretended like nothing happened while they prepared for the court the next day. In the early hours of the morning, Derek's phone began to ring. He hesitated before picking up the call. “You loser!” The voice called out immediately, he kept quiet, to be able to dictate the owner of the voice, but it wasn't familiar at all. “Let's see how far you can go from here!” He mocked him and laughed sarcastically before ending the call. Derek stood up perplexed by the call. “Who is this? I literally know the voice of all the people I have dealt with. This is not Jaden's voice!” He murmured silently, rubbing his neck roughly. After some few hours, the detective called out for him. “Mr Derek!” He heard the detective call him, so he went out to meet him. “It's time to go for the court's summon!” He said to him, as he picked up his phone. “No, I can't leave here without my lawyer. I'm sorry, but I will have to wait for them!” Derek insisted strictly, staring at the detective with raised
