Chapter 31: Chapter 26 Part 2

RAQUEL

It's not every day one of the members of high class society publicly get arrested. In the case of Derek, walking out of the building in cuffs surprised people beyond anything.

It was hard to comprehend just how one of the most eligible bachelors became in an instant, a criminal. Given the unprecedented amount of evidence that surfaced 'out of nowhere,' he was jobless and will have to adjust to a jail cell as opposed to his penthouse.

I had been ignoring the phone the whole day, people calling to hear if all the allegations and charges he was facing were true.

Humming a little tune I moved around setting the table. I hadn't made any move on inviting a specific individual, still my mother was, sadly just like Derek very predictable.

I knew she would never miss on the opportunity to chastise me as a child. So the sound of frantic knocking on the door never disrupted my movements.
