Chapter 43

Instead of going to the hotel. Derek asked his driver to take him home to meet his parents so he could apologize to them properly. He had wronged them greatly.

As he sat in the car looking out the window, he couldn't shake off the hurt and disappointment in his mother's voice that lingered in his head.

Not once had he given his parents any reason to be sad or disappointed in him since he joined the family, yet here he was now, simply because he had been too trusting.

He glanced at his phone started when it started ringing and sighed when he saw that it was Michael calling again. He had been calling all morning and Derek knew it was regarding the news.

Derek reluctantly tapped on the receiver but didn't say anything as he waited to hear Michael's voice.

"Rek? What's wrong! You've not been taking my calls all morning. Are you okay? I saw the news," Michael said, his concern evident in his voice just as Derek had expected.

He sighed. "I'm more worried about my parents than myself right now," Derek said with a weary sigh.

"I was with them earlier. They are very upset. Although they have ordered Empowered to take down the news, they're still worried that everyone has seen it, Michael said, sounding concerned and Derek closed his eyes, feeling even more mad at himself.

"Where are you? Are you back already?" Michael asked, wanting to know if Derek was back and if there was a way he could still get Derek to the anniversary party.
