“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

“What do fuck do you mean!” Jaden screamed furiously, just a few minutes after he picked up his call. His eyes met with Nicole's eyes and he immediately lowered his voice, avoiding Nicole's gaze. “Is there any problem?” Nicole asked curiously, as Jaden just waved his hand over, assuring him that it was nothing serious. “Excuse me please, I will be right back,” he mumbled to Nicole, and stepped out immediately. Nicole's eyes followed him suspiciously but his legs couldn't. “I think Jaden is being too secretive, how can we both agree on something but he is the only one who has the information!” Nicole muttered to himself silently, tapping his feet on the floor. “What the hell do you mean by what you just told me?” Jaden asked on the phone, looking back and front to make sure that no one hears him. “We were attacked, I managed to escape, that's why I was able to call you. All the men are down!” the voice said from the other end. “Shit!” Jaden mumbled in frustration, running his ha

“I was patiently waiting for your call? Did you find anything?” Derek asked curiously on the phone, pacing up and down the room he was locked. “Not really, her phone location is not steady. Yesterday, it pointed at a deserted area but then today, it pointed at a giant building close by!” the man said politely, his voice low and calm. Derek exhaled deeply, running his hands through his hair in frustration. “Sir, I think It just pointed somewhere right now!” He said immediately, and Derek's face lightened up sharply, like there was a whole lot of hope. “Please, hold onto it and send me the location. I will make some arrangements!” He muttered slowly, ending the call immediately to call Mr Lincoln. Just then the door opened and the detective and Mr Alexander entered. Derek paused on the call, removing his phone from his ears. “Detective, why is he still making calls? You dare leave him with his phone? What if he tells his men to kill my daughter!” Mr Alexander fired immediately, r

Derek stared at Mr Ethan curiously, as if he could find the question on his face. “It's simple, have you had anything to do with Steph before now?” He finally asked, and Derek scoffed, his eyes darting around. “Mr Ethan, ever since I ended with Maureen. I don't have anything to do with that family except for this company stuff that came up. I was literally thinking about leaving this whole shit and moving far away. But now, this! I'm just stuck here!” Derek lamented bitterly, wringing his fingers together. Ethan nodded slowly, “If you run once then you will keep running for the rest of your life!” He chipped in immediately, before standing up to leave. “Lincoln didn't come with you?” Derek asked sharply, looking around like he was hiding somewhere. “Uhm, no, he will come later. I think he has something to sort out before coming. You should be expecting a court sue from them. So, everything about the company court case will be paused till this is settled. I hope it goes in our fav
