She shut her eyes tight and diverted her thoughts on the day’s event. She suddenly remembered Derrick.
She was certain that he had surfaced just to taunt her. He was now amongst the four major families in Los Angeles. He was powerful and would be very difficult todeal with.
The situation was indeed very unfavorable for her. She pondered on why Derrick had referred to her as dirty and a ragged shoe.
She grabbed her phone from her pillow and messaged North concerning the issue.
“Do you wanna confront him about it?” North’s message popped in.
“To be honest Oriana, perverts are not that difficult to deal with. He’s just bitter that he didn’t end up having you. Oriana didn’t reply the message. But she understood perfectly what North implied.
Later in the night. Derrick took Gabriella to the hotel’s presidential suite..
Derrick had just taken a shower and was wearing a white bathrobe. He poured a little red wine into the goblet and sipped elegantly from it.
Gabriella snuck up and hugged him from behind.
“Derrick, do you think my father loves Oriana’s mother so much?”
Derrick looked at the ceiling and asked,
“Why do you say so?”
“Well, my dad’s wallet has a picture of Oriana’s mother. The picture is very precious to him, he never allows anyone to touch it. And my dad is a type of person who values his reputation so much, but he slapped my mother outside the hotel…”
An extremely beautiful face appeared in Derrick’s mind, and he said calmly,
“Oriana’s mother is a legendary woman.”
Gabriella had never met Oriana’s mother.
It was as though Oriana’s mother had vanished from the surface of the earth. As all the informations concerning her life and death had been totally erased.
The more Gabriella thought of this, the more scared she felt.
Someone really controlled the earth!
“My mum was right, Oriana really is a lustrous woman. First she had a gigolo, and now, she’s rolling with the CEO of Armstead’s corporation.” Gabriella muttered as Derrick turned to stare at her.
Derrick had halted, and a haze had fallen between his eyebrows.
As one of the four giants in LA, of course he knew about the Armstead’s family. But unfortunately, he knew as much as everyone else did.
The young master of the Armstead’s family, Deacon, was too low–key and mysterious.
Coconut island was the most prosperous estate in the city. Anyone who had a property there was probablya descendant of affluence.
Derrick had heard that the owner of the island was also an Armstead.
Gabriella noticed the change in Derrick’s mood, so she pressed further,
“Derrick, can you remember that when Oriana was still here, she slept in the cave with a man for a night. How old was she then?”
Derrick emptied the content of the glass into his mouth, then reached out and pushed
Gabriella to the bed.
Derrick’s action was violent. Gabriella’s head had slammed in the bed’s cabinet. Her eyes had reddened and tears clouded it.
Derrick pinned her to the bed and stared at her reddish eyes. Gabriella was frightened by Derrick’s behavior. Every time she mentioned Oriana being with another man, he would lose control and become terrifying.
But Gabriella really like Derrick, so she wrapped her arms around his neck and muttered.
“Derrick, I love you. You’re my only man. My virginity is for you.”
Derrick’s face was ferocious. Yes, Oriana betrayed him. She was a slutty woman and was not worth it at all.
He wanted to forget her!
Derrick pulled Gabriella’s pyjamas.
“I want to be with you for forever.” Gabriella hugged him happily.
Derrick shut his eyes. Oriana’s face appeared in his mind. Oriana mother had taken her to the Domino’s family house.
When Oriana mother met him, she had asked,
“Derrick, would you like to marry Oriana in future?”
He hadn’t muttered a word but had entered his room shyly. He still remembered how soft yet smart Oriana looked as a child.
Derrick buried his face in Gabriella hair and whispered “Oriana”
When Gabriella heard this, she felt a cold sensation flowing across her body. All the fantasies and enthusiasm that flowed across her, had vanished.
When Gabriella had fallen asleep. Derrick leaned on the table and lit a cigarette.
When the cigarette was about to be extinguished, he brought out his phone from his pocket and dailed a number.
Soon, Oriana’s beautiful voice came in from the other end,
“Hello”
“It’s me.” Derrick muttered with a mouthful of smoke.
Oriana was silent fir some seconds.
“What do you want?”
“Come to room 207 tomorrow night. I’ll be awaiting you.”
“Derrick, are you bunkers?”
Derrick licked his lips and asked,
“Since other men can have a good time with you, why can’t I?”
Oriana wanted ending the call and blocking his number. But Derrick sensed this so he chipped in.
“Oriana, haven’t you been investigating the cause of your mother’s death?”
Oriana froze. She had returned with the intentions of curing her grandpa and also finding out the real cause of her mother’s death.
It was said that her mum had dies of a disease, but her mum was in good health. How could she suddenly die of illness? She had suspected that someone had murdered her.
But Oriana couldn’t find any lead. Everything relating to her mother’s life had been wiped clean.
Oriana felt there was a big conspiracy against her. Ten years ago, with her mother’s death and her grandfather drifting to coma, all the people who loved her seemed to be in a haste to discharge her from there lives. They had all changed.
Oriana tightened her grip on her phone and inquired,
“What’s your deal?”
“I assume you’re still clueless by now. I too am clueless, but there’s a reliable source I know. You must be particularly interested 100. It’s aunt Rebecca.”
Oriana’s eyes widened. Aunt Rebecca was her mother’s maid and Oriana had grew up to meet her. But she has disappeared from the city after her mom had passed away.
“Oriana, tomorrow night, I’ll be awaiting you in room 207.” With that Derrick hung up the call.
Oriana put down her phone. She definitely wanted meeting Aunt Rebecca, but did she really want to meet up Derrick?
Derrick was not the type to toy with. He wasn’t like President Ronald. Her petty actions could easily be detected by him.
She suddenly remembered Deacon’s last sentence,
“If there’s something you cannot solve. Call me.”
Should she call him?
