But before Kai could see the play, they reached the hotel. “Anything else?” Nik asked, without confirming the previous topic. Lily shook her head with eyes fixated on Nik, trying to read the expression on his blank face. “Kai, ask the staff to book a suite for her in my name.” Kai nodded, got down, and opened the door for Lily. But Lily’s heart stopped to see the building and surroundings. She looked at Niklaus and fumbled, “Isn’t it the hotel we stayed at yesterday?” Her voice cracked at the end and the sadness and fear were evident in her eyes. “Yes! Are you fine? Shall I take you to another hotel?” Lily took a deep breath and asked, “Do you own any other hotel?” She didn’t want to stay at the same hotel but also didn’t want to stay in someone’s hotel as she doesn’t have any identity card with her. “No! Why?” Lily once again remained silent and shook her head. After some thought, she muttered in the feeblest voice, “Can I stay somewhere else apart from hotels?” Nik noticed
“Sorry that I had to disturb you early in the morning,” Drake said, but his eyes seemed to be searching behind Niklaus. “The office begins in another thirty minutes. We can discuss it over there. Now, I must get ready. I can’t be late to the office.” Nik smoothly escaped. Drake’s face darkened as he wasn’t expecting that answer. Before he could ask one more time, Nikalus smiled, “Thanks for understanding,” and closed the door. He walked to the bedroom, wondering why Drake Denholm suddenly wanted to meet him. Is it because of Lily or something else? “Who was that?” Lily enquired after seeing Niklaus lost in thought. “Your Ex-fiancé.” “Drake,” Lily shouted. “Why is he here? Didn’t you say that you don’t have common business with that family? Is he still there?” Her heart was pounding, and lips trembled in fear. “That’s true and he is not here. Calm down. I told him to meet in the office.” Nik said as he examined the tense face and frightened expression on Lily’s face. “What are yo
“Does he know that Miss Lily is with you?” Kai asked. He wanted to be prepared with the security in case both ended up in a fight. Though he was confident that no businessperson would dare to quarrel with Niklaus Cooper, he didn’t want to take risks as it’s about a girl. And he saw himself for an entire day, what changes a woman can bring to a man. “I think so. He came to the apartment this morning and peeped into the house as if I took his valuable thing.” For the rest of the journey, silence persisted in the car with Kai planning the security in his mind while driving and Niklaus looking at some papers. “Good morning, Sir! Mr. Drake Denholm is waiting for you.” The receptionist, Ms. Amara Gilbert, said as soon as Nik entered the office and pointed to Drake, who was waiting in the waiting room. “Send him in!” Nik said and walked to his office. As Kai was about to follow him, Amara pulled Kai. “What’s going on? Yesterday Miss Meyers came and today, Mr. Denholm.” Her eyes eagerly l
“Lily! Are you there?” Nik called out as there was no sound from the other side. “Lily! Lily!” He yelled over the phone. Since Drake Denholm knew about clearing out Lily’s name, he must have known about Lily's whereabouts too. “Kai, Let’s go to the apartment. Fast!” Both dashed out and Kai roared the engine. “Hello! Hello!” He called out again. But there wasn’t any response from the other side. “Hello!” A female voice came, which didn’t sound like Lily’s. “Who are you? What are you doing in that house?” Nik burst out terrified. He was worried that the intruder would harm Lily. “Your mother, Emily Cooper,” came the answer. “Thank God!” Nik groaned and his shoulders collapsed in relief. He was no longer concerned about whether his mother knew about Lily or not. Everything seemed less concerning and unimportant in front of Lily’s life. “You won’t thank the Lord when you see me in front of you.” Her mother hissed over the phone. “How is she? She was terrified a minute ago,” he
“Kai, cancel the meeting at 11. We need to first figure out who leaked the information to Mr. Denholm.” Nik told Kai who was driving. Since his mother met Lily, the pressure increased, and he must hurry up the entire process. There are many things to be taken into consideration. The first thing would be the story to tell the world. Marrying him within a few weeks of breaking up another marriage would create Lily a bad image and give rise to many rumors. So, the story should be created perfectly without a flaw and without pushing Lily into much more darkness. Once the culprit who leaked the information is caught, all the things can be peaceful and carefully planned out. “Kai, ask the PR team to gather in the conference room.” Kai nodded and informed Amara about the same. *** Everyone stood up as Niklaus entered the room. Nik walked to his chair, putting on his official straight and expressionless face. “Team, I have an important business to discuss with you. I hope everyone is awar
"I don’t know!” Kai shrugged his shoulder. He felt Mrs. Emily Cooper wouldn’t be considering a girl with such a bad reputation and family relationships. But he didn’t want to discourage Niklaus and let him try his best to get his mother’s permission to marry Miss Lily. “Whatever, let’s go!” Nik hissed and after him, Kai followed to the car. Nik knocked on the house door. His heart was trembling and galloping with tension. Making his mother accept Lily was the only way to escape from a real marriage. Being a person who doesn’t believe in ‘LOVE,’ marriage was something that he doesn’t believe in at all. He feels that there is nothing like long lasting and selfless love as the movies show. So, paying plenty of time for the whole marriage setup is a waste of time. Lily opened the door and sat beside Emily. “Are you not sick? Why are you walking all around?” Lily didn’t answer him but opened her mouth towards his mother. And the next action made him confused if he was dreaming. Emily f
‘Should I get a similar contract from his side too? Just because he is financially supporting and helping to prove myself, I can’t make fun out of myself.” She tightened her fist and took a deep breath. ‘If I can’t maintain any close relationship with the opposite gender, he can’t do that too.’ Lily glanced at Nik and decided to speak about it once the meeting was over. But she can’t speak about the contract in the presence of his mother. ‘I have to go out,’ she glanced at her clothes and sighed. As she looked around, she remembered that Niklaus’ gave her mobile. She walked to the bedroom and typed, ‘Another modification in the contract – Both Part A and Part B agree to the following conditions.’ Since Nik was in a meeting, Lily was aware that he wouldn’t see the message. Even if he sees, he wouldn’t be able to talk about it with his mother in the house. “Lily, take a warm shower and wear these clothes,” Emily entered the room with a yellow dress. “I hope you don’t mind wearing my
Emily dashed into the room after hearing the weird sudden laughs. “What happened?” She ran to Lily to find her crying and laughing like a crazy woman. She looked at the phone in her hand and kissed her teeth to find Drake’s video, which was released yesterday. ‘Did she see this just now?’ She embraced Lily and patted her back. “The two men I believed in my life betrayed me,” Lily sobbed and hugged Emily tight. “I don’t know about Mr. Denholm, but your father didn’t like you from the start and looked down on all the girls. He didn’t tell you, but you heard and should have shown him what a girl can do.” Lily sniffed deep, “I know. But I thought being obedient would make him love me. I was deprived of fatherly love and wanted it so badly. “ Emily went tongue tied. She couldn’t find words to console Lily. “Think of this as a new start. Do whatever you want, whatever your heart says and feels. Be truthful to yourself.” ~ Ting! Ting! ~ “It must be the salesgirl.” Emily broke the hug, w
Thompson entered Nike and Lily's bedroom and went straight to Lily's table and drew out all three desks, quickly going through all the files. "Where is it?" He hissed as he ran into the bottom rack. "Why does she have these many folders?" he swore and went through each one of them. "Found it!" he calmed down. "Mr. Cooper!" A voice made his heart pause. Hurriedly, he put the file in a college bag he found nearby and closed all the desks. "Yes!" He shouted as he walked fast on his tips without making a sound to the wardrobe. "Mr. Cooper, Mrs. Cooper asked me to help you out," Hannah said as she entered the room. "Thanks, Dear, I offered to help Lily but looks like I am clueless about ladies' clothes and fashion. I was planning to keep some of her clothes and necessities in this college bag. But looks like it wouldn't be sufficient," he laughed awkwardly. "Let me get you a big bag," he uttered and ran out with the bag. "Mr Cooper!" Hannah called out. That call made his heart sin
The doctor removed her green surgical mask as she opened the door. Emily, who just came from the church rushed to the doctor, "How are they?""Your daughter-in-law is fine, but your grandson didn't make it," Uttering those lines, the doctor glared at the helpless and useless Nik. "At least make sure she doesn't get mentally disturbed because of this.""Can we go and see.." Nik muttered with shivering hands and legs. He didn't have the strength to see his dead child and didn't know how he was going to handle Lily. He had seen the amount of pain and struggle Lily went through while maintaining her health, the baby's health and her studies."Sure, but she is still unconscious and will probably be awake in five to ten minutes. I want you to be productive and helpful at that time at least," the doctor warned and walked away. She has been in numerous cases of premature death and all the cases, it was because of poverty and unhygienic surroundings or weak health. She didn't understand how in
Lily was rushed to the hospital. Her face became like a huge tomato. She was shivering with pain and none of them could see her going through such hell, especially Nik. He wasn't understanding what was going on. He was beside her when his mother was feeding her. Everything was going absolutely fine. With tears crawling from her eyes, Lily was shouting and crying aloud while her fingers clenched on the white hospital bedsheet Soon the doctor came and evacuated the room, leaving the rest of the family out in tears. Emily was praying to God with a heavy heart. Hannah was nervous as she recalled how Lily was in pain when they ran from the hotel room to the plane that morning. Though she noticed the difficulty that Lily was going through, at the point she was helpless, they have to evacuate the rooms and fly as soon as possible. As everyone was walking in front of the room with racing hearts, the doctor opened the door. "What happened?" The doctor asked Nik.'Wasn't that my question?' Ni
"Yes! I want to die, and I will take all of you with me!" "But why?""Because of you, my brother died!" He stared furiously at Nik."Me?" Nik looked cluelessly at Kai. As far as he remembered he didn't harm anyone, but he wanted to confirm it with Kai.Kai shook his head, "Who is your brother? When did Mr. Cooper kill him?""He didn't kill, but because of him, my brother, my only relative died. Now, I am an orphan. I don't have anyone!" The guy with the bomb belt covering his upper body threw daggers at Nik with his glaring red eyes. "If that day, you didn't call Interpol and if they didn't start the firing, I would be with my brother happily. It's all because of you!" Nik and Kai then recalled that some firing happened to capture Martin. "But isn't that your brother's fault to kidnap someone? What do you expect us to do? Just sit and see your brother and that Martin torture our people." Kai fumed out. He didn't know where all of this explanation was taking. But all he could see was
"Lil...Ah! Ah!" Nik moaned, standing on the bed. Lily was giving him a blowjob. Since Lily can't bend or sit down comfortably, they ended up in that position. Nik was just an inch below the ceiling. He was holding Lily's hair, who was standing on the floor and hungrily licking his member. Nik was literally on cloud nine. Lily always gave him excellent blowjobs that sometimes he felt it was more amazing than actual sex. ~ Knock! Knock! ~ Lily stopped. "Ignore!" Nik yelled. When he was about to finish, some idiot knocked on the door and disturbed his whole mood. 'Come back! Come back!' He told himself and closed his eyes. Lily smirked and took again the poking-out long wet stick. "Nik! Open the door! It's important!" Drake slammed hard on the door. Nik kissed his teeth, "Two seconds!" He shouted and Lily fastened her moment. "I am about to!" Nik huffed and ran to the washroom to realise himself. Lily wiped her mouth with a tissue, adjusted her dress and opened the door. "What
Three days later, all four of them were on the flight. Niklaus and Kai were sitting beside each other and behind them were Lily and Hannah. Hannah worked hard the three days looking into various stuff and ensuring that it was safe for the pregnant women. She also went to the gynecologist with Emily, so that Emily would agree to the tour. Though she was taking in a lot of stress, she was happy that they were finally travelling. She picked a place famous for recreational activities and a peaceful environment. She mainly wanted them to relax and not do extensive activities and tire themselves. During the takeoff, the girls sat hand in hand and the guys were like statues without any expression. Hannah was a little frightened and Lily too felt a little uncomfortable. She didn't have any motion sickness, but the pregnancy was taking a toll on her senses. 'You on the bed! Not in the aeroplane! There is no aeroplane. Stupid aeroplanes. Idiots!' She thought as she closed her eyes tight while
[Six months later]Lily was walking in the hall with a hand on her baby bump. Those 180 days, were the most hectic and uncomfortable days in her entire life. She thought that she could handle the pregnancy, studies and court investigations, but it was hell. The morning sickness and the frequent vomiting made her mornings horrible, weak, lifeless and pale. It was damn difficult to sit in the classes for hours with the bump and the back pain. In spite of all that, she managed to study and do the learning plan as per their schedule.But, as soon as the court hearings started, life turned upside down. With the two ongoing cases, she was always in the limelight with cameras and media around her. Even though Nik told the media that he or his friends or family wouldn't give any answers, the journalists were quite stubborn, which made even attending the university or hospital difficult at times.After all those tiring days, she was a little happy as her semester exams were done and the semeste
Nik crawled into the bedsheet, slept behind Lily and removed the towel. "Lily!" he called and caught her hand, but Lily pushed him."Don't talk to me!""Once give me your hand!""My hand! You don't need to touch me. Wait for a few months, you can touch your child.""Lily!" Nik hissed, held her hand and placed it on his straight penis. "You must be thinking that I like our baby more than you and I don't care about your feelings and urges. I don't care even mine."Lily turned towards him and wrapped her hand on his aroused member.Nik exhaled and Lily took that as a clue and began moving her hand.The sweet air from Lily, her lovely golden eyes and the tension growing in between her legs was wonderful. "Lil....Ah.....Lil....Ah....I...I.....!" Before he could say that he was about to cum, he shooted loads on Lily's jeans. "Sorry!" he immediately apologized and turn to face the ceiling. What happened next was never expected.Lily climbed on him and took his tired member into her mouth. She
Sophie requested everyone to stay that night. Even after multiple "NO", she was stubborn and everyone had to stay for the dinner.Lily was happy that she was staying in Nik's house with Sophie, but the presence of Drake in the house terrified her. She didn't want Nik to be angry the rest of the night because of that.While Sophie, Lily and Ember prepared the dinner, the men discussed the business, with Nik and Drake being silent most of the time. Drake was heart broken to know Lily was pregnant. He didn't expect that Lily would fall for Nik that fast. He didn't want to stay in the house, but his father has already agreed to stay. The visual of Nik before him was irritating.Nik was also lost in his own world, thinking why his father or Lily's father didn't mention their friendship. 'Can there be such a kind of coincidence?' He tapped on the sofa arm restlessly. 'Drake loved Lily and then I slept and fell in love with her.' The fact that even Lily wasn't aware of her parent's friendshi
