Derek remained quiet. Alec implied that failing to handle Nicole meant full exposure, with consequences far worse than losing money.
He might even face prison.
How could Derek accept that? He was just beginning to relish a life of wealth. He couldnt abandon the money now.
Derek had initially promised Leighton hed take her with him after it all was settled, yet he never really intended to follow through.
Money in hand, the need to seek beautiful companions seemed unnecessary.
Derek had long grown tired of Leighton and craved new adventures.
Therefore, for the moneys sake, he resolved that Nicole must die.
After all, it was a fortune he could never amass through ordinary work.

Yet, Derek hadnt foreseen the complexities. Nicole was tougher to deal with than he had anticipated. However, the money was too tempting for him to resist.
Derek hardened his resolve and declared assertively, Ill definitely kill her. Just make sure you send the rest of the money.

.
Alec assured, Money is never an issue for me. Just make sure you do the job right. Any slip-up, and the life youre currently enjoying will vanish.
Absolutely. Ill get it done, Derek promised with a nod.
Determination gleamed in his eyes at that moment. He was convinced he could accomplish his task.
Nicole hadnt driven far when Dereks silver sedan was nearly upon her again.
Gripping the steering wheel tightly, Nicole floored the accelerator, yet she couldnt elude Derek.
Dereks pursuing car appeared desperate to catch Nicole, clearly intent on a deadly confrontation.
It dawned on Nicole that Derek was out to kill her. She didnt see this coming. Based on her investigation, despite Dereks reputation among colleagues for cutting corners for personal gain, he was not known for serious wrongdoing, nor did he seem to have the courage for it.
She reasoned that even though her actions might have threatened his interests, the idea of him resorting to murder seemed too extreme.
This relentless pursuit likely stemmed from someone elses commands.
Could it be that Jarrod could no longer hold himself back and had decided to act drastically against her?
Suddenly, Nicoles phone rang. It was Raegan on the Line.
Nicole tried to ignore the call, but in her agitated state, she ended up answering.
Raegans anxious voice pierced through. Nicole, why didnt you tell me that bastard Jarrod is fighting against you over the custody of Austin?
Earlier this day, Raegan had visited Rhett on a personal matter and accidentally discovered documents related to Jarrods lawsuit. Rhett didnt stop her in time.
