When the news of his arrest reached the Quijano family, Derrick's father almost had a heart attack. He couldn't believe that his son would do something to his beloved ex-wife. Yes, they were all aware that Derrick still loves his ex-wife even after he divorced her. Yet his pride stopped him from chasing after her.
His father and brother went to the station to see Derrick and found Mr. Dumrique's trusted assistant along with Atty. Sandford there. It turned out, the one who filed the lawsuit was Cayenne Dumrique. She cared so much for her staff and since Addie's safety was compromised, despite Derrick's relationship with her make-up artist, Cayenne would never forgive him.
"You disappointed me time and time again," Derrick's father said with a shake of his head. His son was currently sitting inside a cell while waiting for the whole process to conclude. Although Lucian told them that they could bail Derrick out since there was no formal complaint from the victim herself at the moment, Derrick's father didn't bail him out.
"He didn't ask us to bail him out," said the man with a contemptuous expression on his face. "I wouldn't waste my money on him. I wouldn't lend him a lawyer, either."
The police officers who heard what Mr. Quijano said were quite baffled. Most parents would make a fuss about this kind of matter yet the man didn't even want to help his son. Derrick didn't say a single word to his father as well.
"Bro, if you loved her, why didn't you look for her? Why did you have to resort to this barbarian way of getting her?" his brother asked and followed by a deep sigh. "You are excellent at managing our business, but you don't know how to deal with those matters that involve your heart."
Derrick remained silent. He didn't want to make excuses or try to defend himself. Spending his time in jail was not even enough punishment for what he did to Adrianne.
All this time, he wanted to see his ex-wife. He wanted to see how she was doing, but he didn't want to lower himself to chase her. He wanted her to be the one chasing him. He wanted her to look for him. Yet, Addie was too independent to even look for him.
So, he waited for an excuse. He waited and waited until the opportunity came. He just couldn't believe he would lose control of himself and devour her with no consent. He couldn't even forgive himself for what he did.
Since he was doing fine, though he wasn't saying anything, his father and his brother left him alone after leaving him food and a change of clothes. The officers were looking at him and couldn't express what exactly they were feeling. The situation was rather complicated.
Two hours later, Addie called to say her side of the story. For the sake of their past relationship, Addie withdrew the case that Cayenne filed. However, she asked for a restraining order that would stop Derrick from approaching her within ten meters.
Cayenne expected this to happen so he asked Tristan to stay outside of the station to wait for Derrick to come out.
"Mr. Quijano, someone asked me to give you this," Tristan said and handed a thick envelope to the man. He knew who Tristan was, so he already had an idea of who the person he meant was. It could only be the Dumrique couple.
Derrick accepted the envelope and left.
"You lost the person who cared for you the most," Tristan commented while watching the back of the man who slowly disappeared from his sight. As soon as Derrick was out of sight, Tristan called the dispatched men to leave Derrick's house.
As for the helpers who discovered the secrets of the lady of the house, they started packing their things to leave. They knew that if they stay, the woman could easily kill them to keep them silent. She even killed her children. It would be nothing to her if she could kill the helpers for their silence.
When Derrick arrived home, he saw his wounded wife tied to a chair. Next to her was the family driver who was bound without any clothes. He was almost shocked to death at the man's sight.
One after another, the helpers came out with their things and asked for their last payment. Derrick was really confused. They wouldn't tell him the reason, instead, they told him to ask his wife.
He felt a bad premonition by their words and actions.
Not wanting to make a scene after all that happened to him, he just dismissed everyone and transferred the money to the accounts that they preferred. Most of them were family members of his helpers.
The moment they left, only the three of them remained.
"Do you really want me to repeat my words?"
"N-no. No, sir."
"From now on, you will stay here. You are not allowed to leave this house or I will kill your family. Think about it. In exchange for what you did to me, you will get more money from me, but you cannot see your family. Of course, you can call them and occasionally if I permit you to do so."
"Yes, sir. I got it. I will do anything you'll ask me to do as long as you forgive me and do not include my family in this matter."
"That is good. Now, call three of your friends and ask them to come over. After all, I need to double your salary. I need to earn money."
Realizing what her husband wants to do, Angel started screaming at the top of her lungs. Unfortunately, they were inside the theater room and it has the best soundproofing material. No matter how much she cried for help, no one would come to her rescue.
An hour later, three men came to his house and Derrick welcomed them with a creepy grin on his face. They had an unsettling feeling when they saw his face.
"Why don't we meet him later on his way home?" suggested one of the men who just arrived. "I don't think it's alright for us to come over when his employers aren't around."
"Oh, no worries. I am his boss," Derrick answered and signaled them to have a seat. "I don't really mind him calling you guys to play. Anyway, I'll be leaving for work. Just don't make a mess in my house and you're all good to go."
He already gave his instructions to his driver before he left and he knew that the man won't disobey him again. Derrick picked up his keys and went out of the house, leaving the three people that his driver called over. He went back to the place he once called home when Addie was still around. Now, it was an empty shell with nothing but the memories that pained him even more.
Remembering what he did, he could only clutch his chest in pain. He wanted to scream but no voice came out. He wanted to kill himself but felt it wasn't unfair to his ex-wife. He needed to suffer twice as much as she did. He needed to stay alive to continuously feel the guilt.
Addie loved him unconditionally. She didn't slap him with the cruel truth because she cared for him. Even when she was being tortured by him, she didn't throw the blame on his wife. He didn't even hear her curse him for what he did. She only looked at him with so much regret and pain.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry," he whispered these words so many times until he fell asleep. Yet, what could his apologies do? He could not even approach her anymore.
Back at his house where his wife was held captive, the driver instructed his friends what to do. "You could pleasure yourself all you want using her, but you are not allowed to hurt her. Make sure you avoid touching her wounds, too."
"Are we allowed to release it inside?"
"Yup. The master of this house permits that. I can just give her a lot of contraceptives later."
With that, despite losing her voice from screaming to make them stop, the three men used Derrick's wife as much as they want. She even fainted in the middle which scared the three men, but the driver told them it was alright. The whole thing was recorded. After an hour, the three men left and the driver took over.
Angel was too tired to even make a fuss now. As soon as he was done, he uploaded the video to the site where Derrick created an account for himself. To make a fortune while punishing his wife, the driver would put the videos there.
The next day, Derrick told the driver to look for other people and left the same instruction.
Before and after she was used, the driver would force her to drink contraceptives.
"Since you like to cheat on me, I'm giving you the chance to do it every day," Derrick said one time when he visited the place to get some of his personal things. "Make sure to keep up with your performance. There are still a lot of men who haven't gotten the taste of you. Enjoy!"
