The Passion Of My Enemy
** the Trick **
The sound of footsteps in the dark hallway outside made Derek wary.
"Amy .. wake up." Derek shook the tiny body sleeping on his lap. The girl was exhausted, and Derek was really embarrassed to remember what he had done.
The first time he forced his will on Amy, and now, the second time, he took the girl to make love in this terrible place.
Making love to Amy on the cold prison floor, in the dark and stuffy air, is somehow Amy's current body state. Did it cause bruises? Or even make Amy's wounds bleed again. Derek felt angry at himself who couldn't help but feel the passion.
Amy wakes up, opens her eyes but can't see anything, Only her warm arms holding her back tell her that Derek is still with her.
"How long have I been asleep?" Amy curled up to Derek's chest, feeling the warmth in the cold air of the prison.
"I don't know, Sweety." Derek taps the top of Amy's head.collapsing her already torn t-shirt that she had sipped onto Amy's shoulder as the girl slumbers.
The light from the flashlight from the incoming guard dazzled the eyes, Derek narrowed, trying to see the men who came and began to unlock their trellises.
"Stand up, Sweety." Derek guided Amy to her feet together. Welcoming their visitors.
"Follow us!" the command line was accompanied by gunpoint towards them. Derek slowly walked Amy in front of him, keeping the girl walking a short distance away from him.
A bright light greeted them as they exited the door of the dungeon, revealing that it was already near noon. Derek follows as he is thrust into the same room where Jonathan, Jack and his lawyer have been waiting.
"Are you ready, Derek? or do we need something more for you to work with? "
"You're not gonna get anything by torturing me, uncle. You better listen to my offer and we'll all get what we want."
"You're a prisoner, Derek! There's no right to make a deal with me!"
"Well, just kill it now, and you get nothing! Let everything that is mine be given to the social department, all my property will be processed by others if something happens to me. You won't get it either, Uncle."
The welcome silence made Derek see an opportunity to continue his offer.
"I'll sign it after you let Amy go."
Amy was stupefied .. Derek's plan that arrived made her very surprised.
"Derek.." he called her soft. Derek turned his head, smiled at the girl and nodded slowly..
"You need Barkley right away, your wounds need to be treated right away."
"But...."
"Follow my orders, Amy!"
"Make sure he gets out of here safely. Then I'll obey whatever you say." Derek looked at Jonathan sharply, showing his indisputable determination.
Jonathan looked at Derek long ago, as if assessing the advantage the deal had for him.
"I will instead help you to make all the transitional processes in your name work as they should. Including the part of Margaret that now belongs to her daughter."
Amy was surprised.
"And all belong to Arthur Sky!! You will rule the largest clan in our territory. Whatever you want, the underworld will launch it for you."
Jonathan laughed out loud. Pleased by Derek's words. Jack who was listening in the corner of the room began to make a sound.
"Dad, don't believe it. You can't let Amy go."
"Shut up, Jack! You can deliver the girl at Derek's request." Jonathan suggested.
"No.. Let Amy go by herself safely. "
Amy paled, Derek really seriously wanted him to go and leave.
Jack tightened his molars. Jonathan promised Arthur's daughter. And now the girl who was supposed to be his was used as a means of exchange for Jonathan's greed.
"Alright .. I agree Derek."
Derek smiled in appreciation..
"It's nice doing business with you, Uncle...."
"What about Arthur's business empire? "
"The clause in Arthur's will is that all will be left to his daughter if she is 21 years old or married. It's Steve's legacy to aunt Margaret .. You know for yourself how the clause is going."
Jonathan chuckled, nodding his head at Derek's explanation.
Amy was worried, a small doubt appeared in her heart. Guess what Steve wanted in his grandfather's will clause.
"We'll arrange for this girl to leave first, Derek! Next we talk about this exciting business."
"I told you earlier .. Nice doing business with you, Uncle!"
