All Chapters of The CEO's Unwanted Bride : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Derek's POV"What the hell happened to Q?" My dad asked as soon as I walked into the house at midnight. I've been stuck at the police station for more than five hours, sorting out the paperwork and all. I even have to be back there tomorrow to claim his body for the funeral. Unfortunately for me, I was the only person listed as his guardian in California here. I got to know he came from Mexico when he saw the job ad and since I offered a work visa, he decided to hop on the next plane once he got the job.Q and I had more than a boss-to-employee relationship. He always managed to intrigue me with the way he works, the pattern in which he does things, and how dedicated he was to the job. I had so much trust in him and he never hid how much faith he had in me. Even if it was to put the next meal on his table, Q never stopped believing in me. I was skeptical when I found out he was only nineteen when he started working with me, I asked him if he had plans to go to college or further his

Derek's POVThe following morning, the first thing I did was meet with the guys at Henry's home. We felt it was necessary to discuss things before going to the station. I still don't know how the three of them turn out for me so many countless times, but I respect them for that.I also think there's no problem between me and Luke even though I still can't understand why he's letting his abuser breathe the same air as him. I guess, after all, blood is thicker than water. "We are all gathered here today to speak…" Henry began his dramatic scenario as he made an entrance into his study room. I arrived at the same time as Sebastian and we found out a girl was in Henry's home.We didn't get to see who she was because as soon as we knocked on his room's door and he realized it was us, he slammed the door back, preventing us from seeing the girl's face even though we all knew it was Amara. He cleared his throat and started again, acting as if he wasn't taking note of the hard glare that w

TRIGGER WARNING: SOME WORDS RELATING TO DEATH HAVE BEEN USED IN THIS CHAPTER, KINDLY PROGRESS WITH CAUTION.LILY’S POVWhile Derek went out to see his friends because of what happened to Q early that morning, I also went to see my shrink together with Mrs. Miller. I still don’t know how Derek was able to tell her even though he left home so early. When Mrs. Miller told me we would be leaving by ten in the morning, I asked her if I could go alone but she said no. Derek had begged her to go with me and it wouldn’t be nice if I actually go there alone. She believes it’s best to hug or hold someone after talking to a Therapist.“I told you the last time we met that I’ll marry you if I see you again,” I smiled as I walked into her office.My therapist, Mrs. Crown is a renowned therapist who has refused to work for any organizations other than Mrs. Miller’s organization. She said it was her dream to help another woman who has gone through abuse find their way to light once more. She really

“You weren’t supposed to be here, Roman. You should know your place, at least, give the boy some respect after you’ve killed him,” I spat.After I was done with the speech and reading out Q’s will as he wanted, I marched toward Roman before he could find a way to leave the church. After everything he had done to the boy, he should’ve at least given him the chance to rest in peace. He should be the last person to be here. Only God knows how he knew he would be buried today not to even think of how he knew the church’s location.“Killed? Is that what he told you?” he snickered.I smirked, shaking my head in the same way as he did. “It seems you always have a different story from what everybody has to say,”“First, your girl lied about me touching her, and now, Q accused me of his death,” I folded my hands against my chest, taking a firm stance.“I’m not here to listen to your side of the story, Roman because it’s as fucked up as always but I want to take a proper look at you so I’ll kno

Derek’s POV When we got back to the house, we knew something was absolutely wrong. It was as if someone had stepped on the floor or probably slipped on it. I turned to Arianna before pointing to the scene. “Was that you?” I asked. She shook her head. “I didn’t do that, I promise. Maybe it was in the process of lifting her that it happened,” One thing I was so sure about was that the doctors in that ambulance are smarter than to mess up with a scene like that. “That’s footprint right there,” Alex pointed to it as he stood there. I was about to join him when I realized my baby was rigid. She was right beside me, holding my shirt but she wasn’t moving. Her gaze was fixated on the blood and her lips suddenly quivered. That was when I stood in front of her, blocking her vision so she could stop looking at it. Lily looked up at me and tears rolled down her eyes, she tucked her lips in as she placed her head on my chest. I ran my hand through her hair, consoling her. “It’s okay, baby,”
