"Will Lily go back to him?" he thought recalling Luis's several warnings."Sir, what do you think of the idea?" asked one of the board members Derry sat at the head of the table surrounded by 6 board members, 3 on each side of the table. He could see their lips moving and images flashing on the projector but nothing they were saying was registering on his mind. "Sir, Mr McClean?" the board member sitting closest to him called "Yes," he said snapping out of his thoughts"I just wanted to know what you thought of the idea for the project," th

Why do you want to see me," Lily asked going straight to the point "Lily, I came here to apologize. No matter my explanation it doesn't change the fact that I abandoned you when you needed me most," he started and Lily looked on with a straight face, constantly reminding herself Derry was just in the living room to keep herself calm. "So, why did you leave? All I remember was you apologizing," she said and Derrick remembered that day, He had spoken to his father and he left the hospital after.

Derrick spent some time with his children before leaving for his apartment. He decided to stay around for a while before going back to Washington. In his apartment, he stood in the living room recalling memories of himself and Lily. His eyes shifted to the dining and he remembered the first time he had cooked for her. He recalled the good time they had.He went up to the bedroom. He opened the door and the familiar fragrance that used to greet him when she was in the room was no longer there. He scanned the room and the dressing table still had her stuff on it. He opened the closet and her clothes were still in there. Neither she nor he returned to the apartment after she was rushed to the hospital. He removed one of her dresses from the hanger and hugged it. It did carry traces of her scent.

"Yep, I kept you away from Lily because he was still gloomy about her but he started taking things to the next level with Isabel, I decided to let you two be," Luis replied"Does your wife know?" he enquired "No, when I found Derrick, I sent Isabel there to monitor him. She got herself employed in his new company, Armani or something, some weird name, I don't know how he comes up with company names. Anyway, she got close to him and he found solace in her. She yielded so I let them be," he explained "So Derrick doesn't know," Derry said"No, he doesn't. Isabel is a CID. She is in love with Derrick now and she will come clean after our operation. She is a strong woman; she can handle rejection if things don't go well. I am sure by now Derrick, wait let me show you. This is an invasion of privacy but I have to test my butterflies," Luis said "but pretend you didn't know," he added and he brought up a screen and Derrick could be seen lying on his bed hugging a lady's dress"Is that a l

Luis, knowing what was going to happen, had already taken the first flight to Washington to go defend Derrick. Arriving at Washington Central police station, Derrick saw on the TV screen what had transpired the night before, while he was in bed hugging Lily's dress. He was shocked to see what was showing on the screen. "So that is why he got arrested?" he thought as he was sent to the withholding cell. He knew his father can do the unthinkable like when he killed his friend and made him lose his memory but that was a long time ago. He thought he had changed."Drug and weapon trafficking?" he thought "When did he start doing such business?" he continued in his thought "But why? As the head of Homeland Security, he earned good money, so why will he do this?" he thought, "or someone set him up" "Lucky you. Your lawyer is already here," came the voice of the officer interrupting Derrick's thought. He got up and moved closer to the bar and staring at the police officer sternly he sai

He knew Luis would not just make such accusations, because he would dig thoroughly for the evidence. So, his father was the reason he couldn't be with Lily, the woman he loved.Derrick lowered his head, disappointed. He did not know how to react to the news he had just received. It was his father all along. All the problems they went through were because of his father. Technically, Lily never had a moment of peace because of him. He recalled what Lily had said about having months of peace since he was out of her life. She was right after all. "When did you find out?" he directed his question to Luis"Err, things become clearer the day you left Florida. I had always had my suspicion though," replied Luis"Why didn't you say something to me?" he queried "Would you have believed me then without the undeniable evidence?" Luis asked advancing towards himDerrick went silent and Luis patted him on the shoulder"I am truly sorry about your father. I wish he didn't do what he did," he cons

"No, he is gone as in, he committed suicide yesterday," replied LuisDerrick went silent and lowered his head."I was informed yesterday but I knew you were out on a date and I didn't want to spoil your evening with such news," Luis added and Derrick just nodded "I will be returning to Florida, later today, just let me know if you need anything," Luis said and got up to leaveDerrick got up and escorted him to the door without saying anything but just nodding to whatever Luis said. He closed the door after Luis had left and out of anger punched the wall so hard, he got injured in the process. As if he could not feel the pain, he gave the wall another punch. He turned and pressed his back to the wall and sank to the ground. Luis went to his car and called Isabel."Hello Isabel, are you busy?" he asked "No, what's up?" replied Isabel "Kindly come over to Derrick's, he is not alright. I just told him about his father," replied Luis "Okay, I will be there in 10 minutes," she replied
