Harriett Edwards has been in love with Damien Daniels since childhood, so when both their parents arrange for them to be married, she gladly accepts even though she was well aware that it wasn’t what Damien wanted. For the three years of their marriage, she devoted her life to him with the hope that she would be able to change his mind and eventually get him to fall in love with her. It all comes crashing down when someone fabricates a picture of her cheating with Damien’s brother, Adrian. After seeing the pictures, he coldly said. “I want a divorce!” And even when she confessed her love to him, his reply was cold and hurtful. “I know. It doesn’t matter. I don’t love you.” What he didn’t know was that in her hand was the pregnancy test result from a mistake he made in his drunken state. Years later, they both meet at a friend’s wedding and he is shocked to see her with a set of identical twins that looked just like him. “Are they mine?” He asked. Harriett laughed and replied, remembering his own words. “It doesn’t matter, Damien. They don’t need a father.”
View MoreLily’s body stiffened as soon as his lips came down on hers. The surrounding air was thick and, for the first time in a long time, Lily forgot about her worries. All that mattered to her at that moment was the feel of Tony’s lips on hers. She would be lying if she said she had never imagined this moment, but none of her imagination could compare to the reality she was now living in. ‘Tony’s lips are on mine.’ She thought briefly, butterflies swarming in her tummy. His lips were soft, and his kiss was gentle, nothing like Louis's. Because of Louis, Lily despised sexual acts of any kind, but as she sat under Tony’s hold, trapped in his gentleness, she realized that she didn’t want that moment to end. Sensing her brief hesitation, Tony bit down on Lily’s lips, causing her to gasp and part her lips. He used that opportunity to deepen the kiss, plunging his tongue into her mouth. The warmth from his mouth caused a moan to slip out of Lily’s lips. She shifted closer to hi
Later that night, Lily tossed and turned in her bed as thoughts of her meeting with Louis filled her mind. There was a voice in her head telling her that she needed to let Tony know about Louis’s threat but, Lily kept ignoring the voice and pushing it to the back of her head. She felt that she had bothered him enough with her problems, so, she was going to try solving this without his help. “You know that’s not possible, Lily.” She whispered, facepalming herself as she groaned loudly. As much as she hated to admit it, she needed Tony if she wanted to put Louis in his place forever. So, with a new conviction, she jumped to her feet and headed to Tony’s room, completely forgetting that she was only putting on flimsy nightwear with no underwear. Without second thoughts, Lily knocked on Tony’s door slowly and played with her fingers as she waited for a response. Fifteen seconds later, the door opened to reveal a bare-chested Tony and loose gray sweatpants hanging on his waist.
As Lily stepped out of the restaurant, her body shook with fear, and her mind was disturbed. She knew Louis well enough so, she was certain he wasn’t a bluffer.‘Would he harm Tony?’ She thought as she took slow strides out of the building. Lily knew it would kill her if anything were to happen to Tony because of her.Lily was still deep in thought when she felt her body crash into a wall….a person, rather.“I’m so sorry.” Lily apologized without raising her head and was about to leave but was pulled back by this person. Wondering who it was, Lily lifted her head only to be met with Tony staring at her.“Are you okay?” Tony asked with a worried expression. “You’re going in the wrong direction. The car is this way.” He pointed in the opposite direction and Lily looked around, finally realizing that she had been walking to the wrong street when the car was the other way.“Oh…” She blinked and bit her lips nervously.“What happened in there, Lily? What did he say to make you this way?” T
When they arrived at ‘The Fred’s’ it was already 6:02 pm. Tony turned off the car engine and turned to Lily only to see her hands shaking and her face pale like she had just seen a ghost.“Lily?” He called out but her mind was far gone. “Lily!” He called out again, loudly this time, and also tapped her. Thankfully, she jerked back into consciousness, blinking her eyes severally.“Y..yes?” She stammered with fear written all over her face. Tony understood that she was worried and nervous about meeting Louis so, he grabbed her hand slowly and pulled her in for a hug.“I’ll be watching every second of your conversation, Lily. You have nothing to worry about.” He assured and Lily nodded slowly. “All you need to do is swap his phone with yours since you said they are both similar, then, you’d use the restroom and install the app into his phone. I’ll take it from there, okay?” He explained and Lily nodded again.“I got it. Thank you.” She whispered as she pulled out of the hug. “I’ll go in
Lily spent the rest of the day thinking of a way to meet with Louis. Even though she sounded confident while talking with Tony, the truth was that she was scared deep down. Even after living with him for three years, she was still terrified of him. When she left Louis, knocked out on the ground a few meters away from the hospital, she was convinced she would have no reason to return to him. But, here she was, looking for a way to speak to him without getting killed or kidnapped. She would be incredibly lucky if Louis didn’t harm her when she met with him. With shaky hands, Lily pulled out her hold phone from the drawer and switched it on. She held her breath as the phone came back to life after days of no usage. As expected, the phone dinged repeatedly as soon as it came alive. There were countless texts and missed calls from Louis. He had been sending a new text every day since she left, followed by calls. Lily couldn’t believe that he was the only person who still called or even
“The gang Louis belongs to is SNAKERS and I know who the gang leader is,” Lily revealed, biting her lips nervously. Her heart was racing and her hands were shaking. She never thought that she would let the secret out so soon. Saying it now, she realized that she might have dug her own grave.Tony looked like he had seen a ghost. He knew Louis was a dangerous man but hearing what gang he belonged to made him wonder how Lily had coped with such a man for five years.Only a person who had been living under a rock wouldn’t know who the SNAKERS were. Their unknown boss controlled half of Paris and even though they were known for their illegal deeds, no policeman or detective was brave enough to go after them.“What the fuck, Lily?” Tony sighed and shut his eyes out of frustration. “Why did you have to meet a man like that? I can't imagine what you must have had to endure. Keeping a secret like that must have been hard.” Tony sympathized with her, caressing her face with his palm.“Does he
Manuel was thrown out of the hospital by the security guards and warned never to return. Out of anger, he took a taxi and headed to Louis's house. “What are you doing here, man?” Louis asked as he opened the door and led a fuming Manuel in. “Is there a reason you’re huffing and puffing? What happened?” Louis asked. “That fucking girlfriend of yours…she humiliated me and had me thrown out of her workplace. I'm sure she was only able to do that because she is fucking the owner and everyone in the hospital knows about it!” He yelled, shaking his head angrily. “Why the fuck were you even at Lily’s workplace?” Louis asked with a twisted look. “I wanted to talk to her and get her to return. You know her being out there is a threat to us. She knows every fucking thing.” Manuel said with hooded eyes and Louis sighed loudly. “The moment she opens her mouth we will all be dead. You know Draco will never spare us if the secret gets leaked because of us. Being your friend has brought m
Since Tony’s office was on the last floor, he had no idea what was going on with Lily. Some of the doctors who weren't on duty had been informed and Lily was summoned by Dr Harrison who had been informed of the chaos that happened at the caféteria. By now, Manuel was already long gone and on his way to rile Louis up.8:Lily had no regrets for what she had done. As a matter of fact, she was happy with what she had done. She didn’t think she would ever be able to stand up for herself, especially to Manuel and Louis but she did and she was proud of herself for doing so even though it might get her punished.Lily placed a knock on the doctor's door and went in. Surprisingly, Dr Raphael was also in the office but he seemed to be on his way out. As he walked to the door, he stopped and smiled at Lily.“Are you alright?” He asked. He had just heard about what happened at the caféteria from Dr Harrison and he felt bad for Lily. According to the nurse who was at the cafeteria, Lily was only d
"Not her, Man. She's off limits." Tony warned, throwing a harsh glare at his friend."Look, I understand that you said no sneaky activities at work so, I'll get to know her outside the hospital. That will be okay, right?" Raphael said with a grin and Tony rolled his eyes."No! Do that with someone else. Not Lily. She's off limits to you and every other person in this hospital." Tony replied and Raphael squinted his eyes at him. Then, it finally clicked in his head."Wait! Are you and Lily a thing? Is that why you are being like this?" Raphael asked, trying his best to not laugh.Tony was tongue-tied. He couldn't say they were a thing because they weren't but he wanted them to be a thing deep down. He knew he had no right to push other men away from her but he was still going to do it. Lily was his as far as he was concerned."Not yet." He came up with the most suitable reply he could find. Immediately he said it, Raphael's eyes widened and his jaw dropped to the ground."You lik
