Derek had woken up on Monday morning as the CEO of Haven Group. But now that was no longer the case. He was just Derek now. No title before his name. It was a strange thing but strange in a good way.
And after all the bad that had happened to him, Derek was glad to have something good, even if others in his life, people like his mother, would not view it in such a way. Because of his title, of his name, he had lost his Emily. It was only right that he discard the very thing that had caused him so much pain. Deep down Derek knew that Emily had left because of what his mother had done.
But if he were to blame his mother. There was a huge chance that he would never talk to her again. He did not want that. So he had gone for the next best thing... his title.
