CHAPTER 252

((( ZHIO )))
Everyone in the Summit got a name in society and in the business industry.
It's hard to tell if the attack was directed on me.
Our company was just in the seventeenth place among the business giants in the world.
Somebody else in the Summit might just be the target of the arson.
"Make sure Wenziel's body is recovered," he told me before leaving the room.
I returned to Claire's room and watched her asleep.
I held her hands as I sat weakly beside her bed.
My heartbeat was racing fast but I tried not to show…
Something's definitely wrong here…
(DERICK)
"Look at you Derick!" my father angrily ranted as he approached me.
When I didn't turn, his men forced me to look at him.
They cupped my face roughly to meet his eyes.
"You let Zhio swindle you."
I didn't respond but my thoughts jungled at the sole idea of bringing back Claire.
Father dangled a necklace in front of my eyes.
It was…
"Don't tell me you forgot about this?" he grunted.
That necklace was who I really am.
"Up until now you didn't want to get this from me?" he continued.
"You know what you have to do to get this thing…You have to make Zhio fall."
He hid the necklace back inside his pocket.
His men let go of me when he got out of sight.
But… Was he really my father?
Am I really Derick?
The necklace got the answer to all those questions.
I walked weakly through the hallway and let my thoughts drown me.
From the start, my life was a mess.
I didn't even know who I am.
My tears fell down my cheeks.
I'm confused.
My whole life's a joke.
And to get that necklace back, I have to play dangerously against Zhio.
Do I still have to know who I am?
I don't know.
Yes I am a womanizer…but that was just because I'm smothered inside my own home.
And about Claire…
Maybe Zhio was right.
She's just a toy for my parent's game.
But my feelings for her is real.
My parents were against our relationship but one day they miraculously agreed to it.
