Chapter 43

• Derek stood by the window facing the flower garden, his mother's garden, he had not stepped foot in it since her death, when he was a little boy, that was his favorite place, he spent most of his day in the garden with his mother picking flowers or tending to them, he always go there whenever he was confused about something, right now he was confused, his brow furrowed in a frown, after Stefan called Kathleen that morning, he had given instructions to one of his guard to watch her closely and report anything suspicious to him, he had wanted to find out first hand if she was still seeing Stefan, although, the guard had called him when he was driving home and informed him of her every move, he was curious as to why she would be the one to go for grocery shopping and decided to go there, he had arrived there just in time to overhear her little conversation with Stefan, her words echoed in his ears, "I'll prefer the devil himself than be with someone like you, you disgust me" she had shouted at Stefan before he began tugging her, was it a lover's quarrel and she just said those words to him or does she actually mean it? He had to get to the bottom of it. Stefan was already cooling his ass in the police custody, he would make sure he doesn't get out of this so easily. He brought out his phone and punched numbers, "make sure take note of who comes to visit him in there and also record their conversations. If he makes any phone call, put it on record too and call me as soon as it's done"
• "Yes Sir" the man on the receiver answered and he hung up, his gaze cold.
• He moved away from the window and entered the shower, he was too engrossed in his thoughts to hear the door open until he felt an arm wrapped around him and he flinched, pushing the person violently away from him, his eyes formed an angry slit and he growled, "what the hell are you doing here?"
