Derek's Reign

Chapter 3

-Macy P.O.V.-

“Ugh” I groan as I turn onto my side when I hear my alarm going off. It is about 2ish in the afternoon which means I have about 2 hours to get ready and go to work. I have another 12 hour shift tonight. I am always working because I never want to be home.

I drag myself out of the hotel bed and head over to the bathroom, to which I get ready for my day. After all of that, it is about an hour later when I am done getting ready. I grab everything that I need for tonight and head out. I go down to a local café to get some food. I get myself a coffee and something to eat and then I head off to work. My best friend should be there already since she started her shift earlier than me. I eat in the car while I am driving so it would be easier for me to start my day. I pull into the parking lot and quickly find a spot. I get out only to freeze when I hear my fathers voice.

“Macy!” He shouts as I slowly turn my back.

He walks over to me and slaps me hard across the face while it causes me to stumble back on my car. He looks as if he is going to hit me again, and I just cower while covering my head…but soon I don’t feel anything. I look up to see someone holding my dad’s arm. Soon the man speaks.

“Touch her again and I will show you what it really means to put your hands on somebody.” The way he spoke brought a chill up my spine, but in a good way.

He then shoved my father away from me and my father just ran away. The man then walks up to me and I look up to see him fully. I am blown away at what I see. He has tattoos covering his neck, hands, and one on his face. I then see that his brown hair is slicked back showing off his face….his blue eyes hold me captive as I cannot look away. He soon clears his throat causing me to turn a shade of red before I steer my gaze away from him.

“Thank you.” I end up saying after I find my voice.

I turn around to grab the rest of my things while locking my car to only turn around and hit a wall. But it wasn’t a wall…it was the man’s chest. I take a step back and look up at him.

“I am so sorry. I had no idea you were standing right there.”

He chuckles. “It is fine. I am Derek, by the way.” He then holds his hand out for me to take.

I extend my hand and shake his hand. Only to suck in a breath when I feel some sort of spark shoot through my body. I take my hand away and look up at him.

“I am Macy.” I tell him as I slightly nod. I then hear my phone going off and I pull it out only to cuss.

“S**T!” I quickly answer it and my boss starts to yell at me through the phone. “Yes, Yes. I am here. Yea I am coming up now. Yes, I will tend to Mrs. Willow when I get up there. Okay.” I answer her in between her yelling. I look up at the man and slightly smile. “Well, I got to go. Bye. And Thank You again!”

I then run off as I need to get up to my desk. I make it to my desk within 5 minutes where my boss is nowhere in sight. I look to see Angel sitting there and she smiles at me. I smile back. I quickly put my things away and clock in while I head down the hallway to tend to Mrs. Willow. I enter the room and walk in to see her fussing with her husband. I clear my throat and they both look at me. First they smiled and then they got a certain look on both of their faces that had me wondering what just happened.

“Are you okay?” Her husband asks me. I look confused while I nod.

“Then why do you have a mark on your face?” Mrs. Willow asks.

I bring my hand up to my face and sigh as I just remembered that my father hit me. Before I could respond, I heard Derek’s voice.

“Don’t worry, Mother. I stopped him before he could hit her again and I handled the situation.” I turned around and he smiled at me. “Nice to see you again, Macy.”

“Well, I am glad for that, son.” Mrs. Willow's voice breaks me out of my WTF emotion.

I quickly checked Mrs. Willow and made sure that everything was where it should be and then I made my way out of that room. I had to get out because I could feel Derek's gaze on me. It was doing things to my body that I shouldn't be feeling within his mothers hospital room. I made my way over to Angel and she raised an eyebrow at me.

"What is going on?" She asks me, but then her face turns to pure anger. "Did that bastard hit your face?"

I sighed before I nodded my head. "I swear, I am going to kill him one of these days. Stay here."

Angel then went and grabbed some things for my face while I sat there. When she came back, she demanded that I tell her what happened. I told her everything without leaving anything out. She was shocked that Willow's son was the one to save me, but she was happy that he was there. She then called security and told them what happened. They said that they will watch the footage and make sure that something like this will not happen again.

How did I end up with such an evil bastard for a dad? I shook my head and got back to work once all that was done. I tended to other patients while I made sure to keep myself busy.

-Derek's P.O.V.-

After Macy left the room...

"So, you saved her huh?" My mom asks me with an eyebrow raised.

"Really mom?" I say while chuckling at her.

"She is a good one, son. I hate that it happened to her, but it must have been someone she knew." My father then adds in. I decided to change the subject.

"So, I met with Uncle Blade this morning." I tell my mom and dad.

"And?" My dad questions me.

"I went through the tapes and everything..it seems that someone was waiting for mom to arrive. I have my team doing background checks on everyone in the building while we see if someone working there did something and if not, then we will look at other options." I tell my parents.

"I have Scar doing some work on trying to figure out things about the car, and he seems to be coming up with things." My dad adds in while my mom just listens.

"Good, good. I know Scar will find something. My team will be working on this non stop. I am not going to let whoever did this get away." I made sure to make eye contact with my parents when I say this. Just then our conversation ends when Macy enters the room.

I looked her up and down while she looked over my mom and it was at this moment that I was going to make her mine.
