Chapter: SENT TO KILL“Pay me!” Gab demanded, his voice tinged with impatience.“Shut the hell up,” Shawn growled, firing a sharp look at him.“We’re listening,” Derek interjected, his voice calm but firm as he gestured for Rafe to take a seat.Shawn’s throat tightened as he fought to keep his composure. “He lied to me earlier… said he had experience.”“Lied? Didn’t you see it yourself?” Derek shot back, a trace of disbelief in his tone.“Of course I saw it. I thought…” Shawn’s voice faltered, frustration making his words stumble. “I thought I could give him a chance.”“A chance?” Derek raised an eyebrow. “For how long? You didn’t let Rafe stay here this long before firing him, so what changed?”Shawn swallowed, a knot tightening in his chest as the words caught in his throat.“I… I…” he stammered, but Gab cut him off.“Pay me!” Gab yelled again, a mock smile spreading across his face.Shawn's patience snapped. He stormed forward, slapping Gab hard across the cheek.“Ah!” Gab recoiled, clutching his cheek,

Chapter: WHO IS LYING?“I… I didn’t mean to…”“Shut up…,” Rafe cut in, his voice heavy with sleep. “You’re so… naughty…,” he murmured before drifting off.“Thank goodness.” Derek exhaled in relief, then lay down beside him, pulling the blanket over both of them.“What was I even thinking? How could I…?” He paused, lightly slapping his own cheek.“Shh…” Rafe breathed, continuing to snore softly.“I see why he didn’t want to drink in the first place,” Derek muttered before closing his eyes as sleep slowly claimed him.*The next day*They stepped out and slid into the car. Derek was dressed in a perfectly tailored brown suit, while Rafe wore a perfectly fitted black one.“To the hospital,” Derek instructed.The driver nodded as the engine roared to life and the car sped forward.When they arrived, they went to see Nelly, but she was still unconscious.“She needs time and rest,” one of the nurses explained gently.“Right,” Derek murmured. “Let’s go see her brother, Mr. Desmond.”The nurse led them toward Desmon

Chapter: DRUNKEN TRUTH“Mr. Desmond!” Rafe called, running toward him as he lifted him up.Dr. Felix quickly dialed a number.“Rush to the office with a stretcher. Someone has passed out,” he instructed.Soon three nurses arrived with the stretcher. Desmond was placed on it and taken to another ward.“He's fine, he only passed out,” Dr. Felix told Derek as he glanced at his phone to check the time.“Oh… it’s getting late. We need to leave now,” Derek exhaled, rising from the chair.“Alright,” Felix replied.Derek nodded and turned toward the door, with Rafe following behind him.They walked out of the hospital, got into the car, and drove home.Arriving at Derek’s room, he hurried inside, took a quick shower, and changed into his pajamas.He walked to his wardrobe, took out another new set of pajamas identical to the one he wore, and approached Rafe.“Take this,” he said.Rafe hesitated at first, but Derek gently pressed it against his chest as he sat on the bed.“I need you to shower and change into them.

Chapter: THE SECRET IN HER WOMB“Put the gun down,” Rafe warned, their hands raised as he stepped backward slowly.“Leave here now!” Mr. Desmond ordered at Rafe, who still stood there.“Go out,” Derek said to him.“I can't,” Rafe muttered back to him.“Okay then, you want to watch your boss join my father,” he said as the same lady returned.Her face was still swollen, her eyes widening when she saw Mr. Desmond pointing his gun toward Derek.“What are you doing, Desmond?” she asked as she approached him.“Let him go join father and deliver my message to him,” he said, his voice trembling with rage.He shut his eyes slowly as his finger tightened on the trigger.For a brief second, the room fell silent as the lady ran forward and threw herself in front of Derek.“No!! Don't!!” Rafe yelled, running, but before he could do anything, the shots went out:Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! The shots echoed as the lady fell to the ground and blood gushed out. Desmond opened his eyes to see his sister on the ground in a pool of blood.“Nell

Chapter: TOO LATE FOR APOLOGIESDerek’s fingers tightened slightly around his phone.“What is it?” he asked again, his tone calm but edged with steel.There was a pause on the other end.“Sir, Mr. Desmond… Mr. Shalom’s son has been loading my phone with threats, blaming us for his father’s death,” Steve revealed.Derek exhaled deeply. “I understand his pain… and I also blame myself.”“Sir, it isn’t your fault. He refused to accept the compensation money, calling us all sorts of names,” Steve said.Derek sighed.“But sir, the staff have agreed to return, so in the next thirteen days they’ll resume work,” Steve added.Hearing this, a faint smile curled on Derek’s lips.“Thank you, Steve,” he said appreciatively.“The pleasure is mine, sir,” Steve replied.“Forward Mr. Desmond’s entire details to me. I’ll handle him myself,” Derek said.“Yes sir, I’ll do that right away,” Steve answered as the line went dead.Derek ran a hand through his hair as he stared at the damaged entrance of his building.“How do I handle Mr. De

Chapter: BLOOD IN HIS DREAMJust then, a knock sounded on the door.“Yes, who is it?” Derek called out.“Sir, your dinner is ready,” a voice announced from the other side.“Alright, I’ll be down shortly. Double the dinner, we have someone with us, and assemble everyone. I have an announcement to make,” Derek instructed.“Yes, sir,” the voice said, then faded.“Let’s go have dinner,” Derek said to Rafe, who forced a smile to ease the tension.They stepped out together and headed downstairs toward the dining hall.As they entered, all five house staff stood lined neatly by the wall, their heads slightly bowed, hands clasped in front of them.Derek stopped at the head of the table.“Everyone,” he began calmly, “this is Rafe. From today onward, he is my personal bodyguard. You are to treat him with the same respect you give me. If he gives instructions regarding my safety, you are to comply immediately. Understood?”“Yes, sir,” they chorused in unison.Derek gave a slight nod. “That will be all. You may return to you
