Chapter 2

In life, Derek had always been the victim. He was never accepted in any place and phase in his life.

In school, Derek was always bullied and outcasted by his schoolmates just because they felt like it. The teachers were no better, punishing him for things that he didn't do wrong.

At work, he was constantly picked on, not just in his last job but all jobs before that too.

Even his adopted family and relatives would find ways to hold Derek back. This happened ever since Derek's adopted parents passed away when he was five years old.

His adopted family, the Smith family, run a very successful business called DreamSmiths and lived in a big house in Townsville.

The head of the family, Madam Louise Smith is mother of three sons, Dave, Raymond and Derek's adopted father Edward. Madam Louise is also grandmother to two grandsons: Charles and Mason from Dave and his wife Lois, and three granddaughters Chloe, Madison and Juri from Raymond and his wife Pam.

After Derek's adopted father Edward and his wife Emma passed away due to a very deadly sickness, Derek was made to be the family's servant.

Easy to say, Derek led a hard life.

As Derek made his way back to his adopted family's house, a sense of reality and worry flooded his thoughts.

He was just fired from his job. Where was he going to find work now?

Just as Derek approached the Smith mansion, he was in for a rude shock.

There was a worn, half opened suitcase at the gate of the mansion. In it was Derek's clothes.

"WHAT IS THIS?!?!?!?" yelled Derek. "WHAT ARE MY CLOTHES DOING OUT HERE?!?!"

"Hey! Shut up loser!!!"

Standing at the other side of the gate was Chloe, one of Madam Lewis's granddaughters.

"I heard that you were fired from your job! What further use are you to this family you loser leech?" mocked Chloe.

Derek looked up and saw the rest of the family standing at a distance, with mocking and disgusted looks on their faces.

"Your ex-colleague Desmond is a close friend of Charles. He told Charles about you. That's how we knew, loser."

Chloe continued, "Since you are a jobless loser, we don't need you ruining our family reputation. Take your stuff and get lost!"

Derek, absolutely enraged at the situation, picked up the suitcase. Before he turned to leave, he looked at the Smith family one last time with the utmost contempt and anger.

"Remember this moment Chloe! The Smith family will fall and I will be alive to witness it" said Derek, his teeth gritting with rage as he said it.

As Derek turned to leave for the nearest bus stop, he could hear the Smith family mocking him and calling him a loser repeatedly.

'Just you wait Smtih family. You will get yours. You too Desmond' thought Derek.
