One of the thugs successfully escaped heading back to his employer.
Kathy sat with Danny in the living room going through her Instagram page. She had long told Daniel that she was okay with being a guest in his house.
She had other plans to achieve which required her staying close to Daniel.
The butler came to announce the presence of a man outside the gate who was here to see Kathy.
Danny's gaze moved from his laptop to the butler with a surprised expression on his face.
The only people who had ever came looking for Kathy at his place was her two best friends, Sia and Cecilia.
Kathy on the other hand was shocked. Her heart beat skyrocketed to the top. 'Who could it possibly be?' She muttered to herself.
"Well don't just stand there Alfred. Please, bring our guest in." Danny smirked looking at the terrified Katy, wondering who it was.
Kathy shivered at where she sat. She had very few male friends, so who could it be? Alfred walked into the living room with a badly injured Derrick.
His left eye had been slashed. The line drew from his left brow down to his right cheek.
His clothes were soaked with so much blood, it looked like the once blue T Shirt was initially red.
He had a stab wound in his shoulder blade. He found it hard to stand up straight due to the much pain he felt all over his body. He could barely feel his broken knee.
Kathy gasped at the sight of Derrick. Daniel from time to time will look at Derrick and back at Kathy, waiting for one of them to explain what was going on and who the badly wounded boy was.
"Do you mind explaining who you are and why exactly you are here?" Daniel said crossing his leg, seating leisurely on the couch.
"I'm... I'm... my... my name is Derrick... Kathy's..."
"Kathy's cousin. I mean he's my cousin." Kathy quickly said, laughing nervously. 'What the fuck was the dude about to say? Is he nuts?' Kathy queried in her mind, angrily.
"I don't think that's what he was about to say." Daniel turned to Kathy looking at her suspiciously.
"What were you about to say Derrick? And don't lie to me." Daniel demanded.
Derrick looked at Kathy who was glaring at him, indirectly telling him, 'Say anything and I'll end your life.'
"Uhmm... I'm... I'm her elder cousin." Derrick said, in support of what Kathy had said earlier.
Daniel raised a brow as he sized Derrick from head to toe.
Derricks thoughts were all messed up that he was no longer thinking before he spoke, which made him to almost expose both himself and Kathy.
Daniel was right. He had definitely wanted to say something that would have exposed Kathy's hidden agenda.
"So what you are saying is that, you are Katherine's elder cousin?" Daniel asked with a raised brow.
"No... I mean... Yes."
"Daniel what's with all these questions? I'm going to take my cousin to the hospital now." Kathy tried to get Derrick out of the house before he accidentally say what he's not supposed to.
"Not so fast. I'm not done talking to your so called 'elder cousin'." Daniel said angrily when Kathy was about leaving with Derrick.
"But he's slowly dying Daniel. Please, he's the only family I have left." Kathy faked crying, but Daniel was not even moved a little bit.
"I said I'm not done talking to him. And if I'm not done with him, he can go no where even if it means he dies while answering my questions." Daniel said coldly.
"But there's blood all over the place, I need to get him out of here before he..."
"Exposes you?" Daniel asked angrily which made Kathy to stutter in her words.
"I... I... I... was... going to say, stain the place more. Don't you trust me Daniel?" She asked even though she already knew the answer.
Daniel was cold hearted and trusted no one, not even himself.
"You of all people should know I don't even trust myself. So, no I don't. I don't trust you Katherine." He had his eyes on Katy all these while.
"Now back to you, Derrick the cousin. What happened to you?" Daniel adjusted his position on the couch so that he was facing Derrick directly.
"I... was a... attacked by armed... robbers." Derrick stuttered.
"And where have you been all these while Derrick, cause I've known Katherine for a long time, but she has never mentioned anything about you." Daniel inquired.
"Daniel just stop with all this..." Kathy spoke out, warranting a death glare from Daniel.
"You only speak when you are asked to. Don't make such mistake again else you'll lose your tongue." Daniel sounded harsh and he meant his word.
"Please I'm slowly dying. I need medi..." "That's not the answer to my question, and unless you want to lose your other eye and possibly your brain, you would answer my questions truthfully." Daniel said angrily.
Derrick became scared to wits with how cold Daniel's tone was. Daniel had the aura of a killer and a heartless man who would not spare a second to end the life of anyone who tries him.
"I... lived in a city far from here... for... for years..." And then Derrick slumped and fell on the ground.
Katy rushed to his side crying. "Are you happy now, huh? Are you?"
"Enough with your pretence. I'm watching you Katherine. You better not be up to something stupid cause if I find out what exactly it is you are planning with this so called cousin of yours who happen to have been living in a 'home'."
Daniel paused for a minute, obviously not buying any of what Kathy or Derrick was saying.
"...I'll give you both a slow yet painful death in the worst way you could ever imagine.
Get yourself and that bleeding asshole out of my sight, you're staining my rug with blood." Daniel said returning his gaze to his laptop.
Katherine became scared. She quickly rushed Derrick to her car and drove off to the hospital.
On her way there, Derrick opened his eyes which freaked Katherine out. "Gosh, don't do that ever again." She said as she parked on the side of the road.
