Derry had just disclosed to Derrick what Officer Devon had told him from his investigation and Derrick was left stunned but his shock was slowly replaced by anger and he didn't fail to show it."What are you saying?" Derrick asked sounding a bit irritated."I am not saying anything. Just calm down. I asked the officer to halt the investigation. I know you trust Lily but I don't. I mean she is a nice person, but I don't know her that much. If she is doing something shady behind that innocent face, we are sitting on a time bomb here," Derry stated."Don't speak like that about my woman in my presence," Derrick chided "Wait, why are we even concluding? Is she the one managing the account? She just recovered her memory not long ago," Derrick defended."And how long ago did the accident happen?" Derry pointed out raising his eyebrow and sipping on his drink.Derrick angrily hit the glass from his hand and it shattered into pieces hitting the ground."Don't say things you know nothing about.
"So Lily is still using his father's account but will she plot something that evil?" he thought, still hugging Lily."I think, I want to go lie down for a while," Lily said in a dull voice and freed herself from Derrick's embrace and headed for the bed.Derrick stood rooted to the spot and watched Lily as she climbed into bed and curled herself up like a shrimp. He watched her for a while and entered the bathroom to get ready for work. He had dosed off in the car and only entered the house when the sun started coming up. He returned to the bedroom, dressed up for work and exited the bedroom. Lily was still curled up like a shrimp in bed.In the garage, Derrick got into his car and drove out of the compound towards work. His mind remains blank all through the journey. When he arrived at work, it was past 10 a.m. He parked his car in the garage and entered the building. The first person to meet him was Rosy."Hello Mr Mingle," Rosy greeted with a smile."Hello," replied Derrick trying to
Lily's steady breathing made Derrick aware she was fast asleep but he was still unable to sleep. He wished Luis was around at this moment but he was still not back from Mexico. He was handling everything on his own and didn't even know what was happening or how to handle it any more.He carefully got out of bed not waking Lily up and left the bed. It was 3 a.m. He took a quick shower, changed his clothing, and left the bedroom for his study. After working himself up with office work, he was now tired and he fell asleep on his laptop.Knock! Knock! Came the sound on the study room's door. Derrick got up abruptly, his face a little puffy from lack of sleep and the laptop keypad traced to his face. He scanned his environment and remembered he had come to his study. The knock on the door came again, startling him. He composed himself and responded in a deep hoarse voice."Came in," he cleared his throat to sound better and repeated his sentence.One of the servants walked in looking like s
Derry looked at the document in his hand for a long time unable to react. He searched his memory, trying to recall how this could have happened. Unable to find anything he decided to withdraw the case."If I filed this complaint, I could withdraw my charges, right?" Derry inquired."Yes, Mr McClean," Devon replied after hesitating."What is the problem?" Derry questioned noticing his hesitation."That rule does not apply to criminal cases. With a life lost and attempted murder, this is a criminal case," Devon explained."Lyla is still alive," Derry pointed out."Yes, but she was pregnant and now the baby is gone," replied Officer Devon.Derry ran his hand through his hair in frustration. He totally forgot about Lyla's baby."Okay, I will get back to you. In the meantime, do everything you can to make sure Lily is comfortable. If you can, move her to your station. If she must spend the night, I would rather she is at a place I can trust," Derry said expressionlessly."I am not sure abou
Lily had been arrested and put behind bars. Derrick had left to get her food since she had not had anything to eat. An officer was guarding her cell but he got distracted by the music he was listening to and hence did not see something was happening to Lily. Another officer heard Lily scream and he rushed in only to be greeted with a scene where the guarding officer was nodding his head with an earpiece in his eyes and Lily was on the floor motionless."Open the cell immediately," the officer yelled slapping the guarding officer on the shoulder.The guarding officer opened his eyes immediately, removed the earpiece from his ears and noticed Lily lying on the floor in the cell."Open the cell I say," the officer repeated.The guarding officer opened the cell but before he could get to Lily, the other officer whom Derrick asked to look after Lily pushed him aside and knelt beside Lily and checked her pulse."She has a pulse, call the ambulance immediately," the officer ordered the guardi
Mr Mingle lifted his gaze from the newspaper and was shocked to see who was sitting behind his desk. He dropped his newspaper and rubbed his eyes. He opened it and the person was still sitting there. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and opened his eyes and she was right in front of him. He made a yapping sound and jumped."Oh, Mr Mingle, you plot against your son?" she asked."Mrs Mrs Mrs Mingle?" Mr Mingle asked, stammering."In the flesh," she said " Well not really," she added and moved towards the window.Mr Mingle sat on the sofa dumbstruck."I am glad you didn't father Lily," she laughed."You see how Derrick found out about how you killed his childhood friend and made him lose his memory, he will find out all about your evil plans. What belongs to Lily will never be yours, and you will never be the leader of the people," she laughed hysterically and vanished.For 10 minutes, Mr Mingle could not react. He sat on the sofa with his eyes fixated on the place where Mrs Mingle was standi
Back at the hospital, Lily was feeling better. The doctor came to check up on her and informed Derrick she could be taken home. Derrick quickly completed the discharge forms and called Marcus to pick them up straight to his apartment. Lily had only been gone for a day, but it felt like forever for him. Derrick helped her to the room and got her some food. Marcus patiently waited in the living room. Derrick was soon done making Lily comfortable and he joined Marcus in the living room."Sir, there is something I want to tell you," Marcus began."Yes, go ahead, have a seat," Derrick replied pointing to the sofa and he equally sat opposite Marcus.Marcus took a deep breath and stared at Derrick for 10 seconds wondering if he should say it or not. Will he believe him without any evidence was the problem?"What is it?" Derrick inquired sounding exhausted."Sir, yesterday when I got back to the office," Marcus began and paused."Something bad happened at the office?" Derrick inquired sounding
Derrick dialled again and prayed to God to let Derry answer his call. The phone rang for a while, and it was finally answered but Derrick could not hear Derry. There seems to be some sort of radio static interference sound."Hello, Mr McClean, can you hear," Derrick asked as he moved around to see if he could get a better reception for a better voice clarity but that didn't work.Derrick ended the call after a few minutes and shoved the phone back into his pocket."Let's go back to the company," Derrick said to Marcus and they all got into the car.They had met the last company that cancelled their contract outside the office but they could not save that either. Weeks had gone by and the company was nearing bankruptcy. Derrick and Rosy sat in the back seat and Marcus drove them all back to the office.Arriving at the office, Marcus followed Derrick to his cabin, and he called John to join them as instructed by Derrick.Rosy however did not follow them to Derrick's cabin, but she entere
