His guards came around to attack but he threw a fist across them as well and they could barely withstand it.
When they are still trying to gain themselves, Darren grabbed Avery’s arm with ease as he pulled her to him.
“ Avery tell me it’s all a prank! Tell Them the truth about us!”
“ What should I tell them? Tell them that a poor delivery man like you is my boyfriend?” She scoffed as she smacked him in the face.
“ Stop embarrassing me and leave!” she groan as her eyes widen to the extreme, to show that she was dead serious and it wasn’t a prank.
His heart sank when she said she was embarrassing him. He wanted to let out his grief but he was in front of the crowd and couldn’t believe she was doing this to him.
“ You won’t leave right? Okay wait, let me tell everyone what we are!” she spat out.
“ Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for this unexpected drama. I want you all to go ahead with the party and ignore whatever had happened because this is just a delivery man that I have no business with. I have a rich boyfriend, his name is Eric Finn. Therefore this delivery guy is insignificant at all. Now get the fuck out of here!” she shoved a finger in his face as she made the announcement.
Darren stiffened for a second, he lowered his head in pain and turn towards the door to leave. He felt like his heart being smashed like a glass.
“ You don’t have the right to leave yet!” Eric's voice breaks the brief as Darren was about to leave stopping him in his tracks.
“ What do you need him for?” Avery asked him as she stared from Darren to Eric in bewilderment.
Eric finally gained himself as the blood stopped oozing out of his nose. He got on his feet and adjusted his suit.
“ He can’t leave like that without cleaning up my shoe that he just messed up with his filthy blood.” Eric bared his teeth as he began to walk close to Darren who was almost at the exit door.
Darren’s eyes were already red and seemed to be a bit flooded with tears but he didn’t allow them to pour down.
If he wanted to let out his pain, he would rather do it somewhere else even though it was in public, but never to do it in front of Avery and her friends and her damn new boyfriend.
“ Clean up my shoe before you step out of that door! And if you think your pride won’t let you do it then don’t worry. I will pay you a 3000 dollars just to clean up the mess you did to my shoe!” Eric ordered and everyone gasped when the price was mentioned.
“ That is so huge for this petty job!” the females began to whisper to one another.
“ Eric, this delivery man doesn’t deserve that price!” Daniella shouted at her elder brother and Eric smirked at her as he smiled at her to calm down.
“ It might be big for him but it’s like a change to us.” He replied back to his sister and she smiled as she quit the complain.
Darren doesn’t say a thing but just kept his gaze at Avery. He was staring heartbroken at the woman he gave all his love to.
The woman he would walk through fire for. He wondered if he would ever love this way again. If he would ever give any woman his heart again, he didn’t expect this from her.
“ Hey, I know you don’t earn up to 3000 dollars for even a month with that your delivery job. This is a chance to earn 3000 dollars in a day if you lower your pride and lick my shoe clean! After all, it is your blood.” He demanded.
Darren stiffened again as he clenched his fist at his sides.
“ Yes Darren, this is a great opportunity for you so that you can afford enough clothes to wear and a proper meal to eat.” Avery added, her friends joined her as they asked him to accept the job after all it was a perfect job for his caliber.
Darren was enraged that Avery was humiliating him too. Imagine she asked him to lick his shoe just for money. The walls of his chest clenched harder as his heart gave a tight squeeze.
“ I don’t believe you will stoop this low, Avery. You make me regret ever loving you!” he spat out after he choked down the tears. He was trying to hard to force back the tears that were threatening to roll down his cheeks.
“ Regret? Ah yeah, I never loved you Darren. I was fucking using you to survive! And now I don’t need you anymore. I have a rich boyfriend who deserves a beauty like me and not some delivery dirty guy!” she spat on his face, causing the audience to let out a awful exclaim at Darren. As though he seemed too filthy to be in front of them. They scoffed at him as if he was a trash and has no value at all.
“ Okay.” Darren nodded, biting down his lower lips so that he would control his temper and not do anything stupid because Eric is rich and rich people are evil.
Darren ignored the mockery from Eric and Avery friends as he turned to face the exit door again. This time he is not turning back.
“ Hey, you are going to leave 3000 dollars?!” Eric shouted on top of his voice as he watched Darren walked out the door.

They were close to the press and he was more than prepared to take this step.In the new few minutes they drove into the parking space of the press office.

“This motherfucker is right because the cop is calling at the moment.” He pulled out his phone from his pocket and saw the ID.He gave Hector a deadly glance and answered the call. “We have thoroughly investigated Eric and his family, but there is no proof that he is involved in Mr. Reeves's death.” Hector focused on Darren’s expression as he narrowed his eyes at him.“And who the heck did it? Who killed Mr. Reeves, if not Eric? Who is the fucking main suspect?” Darren sounded like he was losing it, but Hector had to walk away from Laiza and head towards Darren.He dropped a hand on his shoulder, like he had been doing lately, because he had never seen Darren go wild these past few days.“However, Greg is a main suspect because we found the same gun that has the exact bullet that was used on Mr. Reeves.” This time, Darren clutched his phone harder against his eyes; he gritted his teeth as though he were about to rip out flesh with them.“So do you believe that the fucking monster actu

“I know you so well, Hector. Are you feeling something for my sister?” He narrowed his eyes at him as he released these teeth from the tight grit.“Maybe, but I never said you should read me out.” Hector twisted his lips.“Don’t you dare, Hector.” Darren threatened plainly before he turned back to stare at Laiza. She was gradually blinking her eyes open. It meant that their noise had disturbed her sleep.“Look what you too just did.” Leo accused, as he nudged his head towards her, that they had woken her up.“Shit, you caused this motherfucker.” Darren cursed at Hector, but a small laugh bubbled from his lips. He wanted to go close to her, but he needed to give Darren the space to speak with his sister.Hector wasn’t sure if she was going to recognize him as his brother because, according to Leo, she had been separated from him since she was six years old, and it might be a little difficult to remember him.He watched as Darren sat on the bed beside Laiza. She had completely opened he

Darren strided to the parking lot. He was about to get into his car when his phone buzzed.He was surprised that Hector was the one calling; he hadn’t asked him to get any work done but to check on Laiza. Or was something wrong with Laiza?Darren usually has a short breath whenever he thinks of Laiza.“Hey, is everything okay with Laiza?” He breathed loudly.“Laiza is fine. However, I’m not calling because of her; I want you to watch the live news that’s going on right now.” Hector said it in suspense, but the way he sounded, it could only be one person who would go on the internet to cause an issue.Eric was the only and first person that came to mind.“On it, Hector.”He stayed on the call. Darren got into the driver seat and settled down to scroll through the internet.“The Reeves family is a mess since Mr. Reeves, the billionaire, died. It’s so disappointing.” Darren read out the first comment on social media, and his heart clenched.He scrolled down and saw hundreds of comments, a

“Shit, you motherfucker, how did you let them catch you?” Eric cursed as he clutched on the bars of the gate that were separating him physically from Greg.He came as a visitor, and Greg was in jail in the meantime, waiting for his fucking fate.The way Greg looked was dreadful. Eric had never seen him this scared and hopeless. Eric was feeling thankful in his head because he didn’t accompany Greg when he abducted the girl.If not, he would have been behind bars as well, but his betrayal smile kept flaunting on his cheek as though he could do something to help him.“It’s been two days, and Grandma Lisa hasn’t even come to see me.” He murmured, his head down, facing the ground.“What if she thinks you really did it, or maybe she was still in shock that you could do something like that to ruin your family name?” Eric's words were beginning to piss him off.“If you fucking don’t have anything good to say, then get the fuck out of here. I don’t even need your sympathy.” He growled at him.
Chapter 38
Immediately, Darren hopped into his car. He had another call from Nora, and she was still panicking.She asked him if he was on his way already and where he had gone without informing her. This time, Darren laughed hard because it was already sounding funny.He still didn’t want to sound harsh to her; he calmly told her that he was on his way already and she was going to see him in a few minutes.Darren was furious; it didn’t show on his face, but his nails were digging into the heel of his palm as though he wanted to rip out the flesh from the area of his palm.Hector had already started the engine of his car; he was waiting for Darren to get in and do the same, but he noticed he just stood in front of it, squeezing his brow and his head facing down.Hector noticed that something was wrong; he took off his seatbelt and ran towards him.“What’s wrong?” He put a hand on his shoulder, but Darren wasn’t looking at him because his eyes were shut and he still had his head face down.“Nora
