Lily was stupefied at the outcome of the test result she had come to the hospital to do. It's been two weeks that she had left Drake Bell's villa, she had been sleeping in the streets and had had it very rough but she would rather become a beggar than return to Drake Bell's villa.
Wasn't her pregnancy aborted? How come the outcome of the test she did stated that she was pregnant? She didn't have intercourse with anyone after leaving Drake Bell's villa so how then did she get pregnant? Or was the pregnancy not aborted? Then, at the hospital, when the abortion was about to take place, she suddenly went unconscious and only woke up to see blood on her laps.
Well, the most important thing here is that she's pregnant. This time, she will protect her baby with her life. Her utterly depressed mind lightened up, it was as if she just saw a new ray of hope to hold onto. The past two weeks had been hell for her as she had been barely surviving alone.
"Baby, thank you for staying alive. Mommy will protect you with her life this time," she mumbled as she rubbed her belly, then she walked out of the hospital.
If her belly start to protude here in New York, anyone related to her ex husband could see her and then, her ex husband may want to hurt her baby again, out of fear, she took the next available train and went to another city.
Six years later, Lily returned back to New York alongside two beautiful kids. This time, she was now a top and popular designer. She had taken up her passion for design in the city that she travelled to years ago and in a space of six years, her skill had made her rose to the top.
She had come back to the city cause the company she works for, Yenny Designs had sent her to represent them in the joint partnership forming between them and the biggest engineering company in New York, Bell's LTD.
Lily knew that the company she would be working with here was for her ex husband, only that her ex husband, Drake Bell had no idea that the top designer his company would be working with was his ex wife. How can she take revenge on how her ex husband tried to kill her baby in the past if she didn't get close to him? Getting to work with him would definitely give her the chance to enact her revenge of ruining him.
Although her twin survived the abortion, she felt like it was the doctor's doing, perhaps, the doctor's conscience couldn't let him kill her innocent babies. But the fact that Drake Bell didn't mind killing her kids means he deserves to experience an intense pain and she will definitely make it happen.
"Mommy has finished cooking, come and eat," Lily said and lead her kids right inside the room.
Lily ate with her beautiful kids and the following morning, after dropping her kids off at school, she drove over to where Bell's LTD company was located. It was a skyscraper with tens of floors. Lily had already spoken to the Bell's LTD agent and had told them she would be coming for her first meeting today.
She soon stepped down from her beautiful Mercedes AMG, dressed adorably and astonishingly, she placed a call across to the agent to notify them she was around. The agent immediately promised to come and receive her.
Apparently, everyone in Bell's LTD company had all been anticipating to see this popular designer that was coming to partner with their company. There had been many rumors about her. No one in New York suspect that this popular designer was Lily, since Lily used a nickname, Dark Wealth.
As Lily approached the entrance of the skyscraper, a woman and two tall men in suits walked towards her. On looking clearly, she realized that this woman was Amelia, Drake Bell's childhood sweetheart. She was dressed corporately and looked good.
Amelia paused on seeing Lily, it's been many years that Lily dissapeared from New York, she didn't expect for her to suddenly appear out of nowhere. Although they didn't have any relationship, they both recognized eachother.
"Lily, it's been a long time. How are you doing?" Amelia asked with a faint smile on her lips.
"I'm good, as you can see. Are you the one here to receive me?" Lily asked. She can already guess that Amelia was the agent she had been speaking with on phone. "Let's not waste time, lead me quick to where the meeting will be held." Lily spoke elegantly.
However, Amelia scoffed. She couldn't deny the fact that Lily was dressed gorgeously and looked great but still, she didn't believe Lily could be the top designer she had been anticipating to meet.
"Lily, I can't remember having an appointment with you. I'm actually here to receive miss Dark Wealth, the popular designer that will be working with us here, you must have heard about her, I guess." Amelia said, "so sorry to dissapoint you but I won't stoop so low to receive you." Amelia said and walked proudly away from her alongside the two men behind her.
Lily smirked and walked out of the building, as soon as she got to the underground garage where her car was parked, her phone rang. Seeing that it was the agent, Amelia, she answered.
"Miss Dark Wealth, I'm already waiting for you outside the building but I can't see you," Amelia said.
"I already came but you didn't honor me, I'll be here same time tomorrow but if you treat me the same way you treat me today then I will have to cancel the partnership that's about to subsists between our company and yours and put all the blame on you," Lily said and hung up.
Lily knew that Amelia must be wondering if she was actually the popular 'miss dark Wealth," that she had been expecting, She soon drove away from the company and branched at the mall to get her children some groceries. This was a new city and she was still trying to set up her home. She didn't have much groceries at home.
She soon stepped inside the mall and while shopping, she suddenly heard loud noises coming from outside. Discerning the type of noises that suddenly erupted outside, she could tell that a prominent figure had come to the mall. Afterall, the mall was a super big mall so it's normal for prominent and powerful people to patronize this place.
Lisa ignored and continued shopping, when she was done, she pushed her cart over to the cashier and after all the stuffs she bought were calculated, the cashier stated the total amount of all she bought then she brought her card out but as she was about to stretch it to the cashier, a deep voice spoke from behind, "I'll pay."
Lily paused, she was stunned. Why would anyone want to pay her bill. She flipped her head to the back and was shocked to see...Drake Bell. He was dressed in deep black suits that fits his slim body perfectly.
He had a face that was totally devoid of emotion, Lily soon realized that everyone seemed to have departed from the mall. Apparently, they evacuated everyone from the mall just so one man could shop. Is this how power works? Lily wondered.
"Mr. Drake Bell, thanks for the offer but I'll pay myself," Lily said, intentionally addressing him as though they were never into a relationship.
"You can pick even more stuffs and I'll foot the bill," Drake Bell insisted.
Lily ignored him and turned to the cashier then stretched her card to her, "please take and withdraw the amount of the groceries I purchased." However, the cashier had her eyes on Drake Bell, she was scared to receive the card from Lily.
"Miss Lily, kindly let me pay." Drake Bell restated.
"No!" Lily screamed angrily. She had been trying to contain her anger all these while but he hates that he was trying to play nice in public, when infact, he's worse than a devil. He was on a mission to ruthlessly kill her twin many years ago and here he was, acting all nice.
"Let her pay," Drake Bell succumbed and took steps back.
In a jiffy, Lily made payment and carried her stuffs out of the mall, intentionally ignoring Drake Bell who was still inside the mall.
On getting inside her car, she slammed her two hands on the steering, "Drake Bell, you may be powerful...so powerful but I'll show you that I can appear fragile but I can't be mess with."
She started her car and drove away roughly. Whereas, Drake Bell stood upstairs in the mall, watching through the transparent glassy window as Lily got inside her car, as she drove away, he commanded. "Find out where she lives."
His two assistants that stood closer to him responded at once. "Okay, sir."
The following day, at Bell's LTD executive room 1, there sat Amelia and some chief officers of the company, Lily was also among. They were all awaiting the presence of the CEO, Drake Bell. Amelia had now confirmed that Lily was actually the top designer who bears Dark Wealth. She was shocked and embarrassed to find out. How did Drake Bell's ex wife end up becoming a top designer? Amelia was troubled about Lily's sudden return. The fact that she may be working here in Bell's LTD even troubled her the more. Won't working here make Lily get close to Drake Bell? She had worked hard all these years just to win the heart of Drake Bell but Drake barely gives her attention. He only regarded her as his childhood sweetheart but nothing more. Amelia hoped that since there was no woman around Drake Bell, she could still win his heart someday but with the sudden presence of Lily, her hopes were beginning to fade. Soon, Drake Bell and his two assistants, Liam and Sarah followed him inside the ex
Lily sat before Mila at one of the most popular restaurant in town. Apparently, she had been invited here by Mila and cause of Mila's role in her life, she couldn't deny the invite. Mila was the mathron in the orphanage home she grew up from. Mila gave her special treatment and she never understood why until she left the orphanage. After foods and wine had been served at the table, Mila said to her, "Lily, remember how good I was to you those days at the orphanage home?""I remember, mama." Lily answered, wondering what the purpose of this meeting was. "My dear, I need you leave New York and go back to the city you once were." She quickly added, "of course I understand that you are here to represent Yenny Designs, but I sense that you are in danger here. I won't tell you my source, but trust me. It's safer for you to be out of New York," she said with a broad and weird smile. Lily thought about her words and said, "I don't see any reason why anyone would be after my life? I can't r
Lily had blocked Drake Bell's line for so many years but now, he had to unblock him so she can ask if he was the one who sent those who went to pick up her kids. She couldn't think of anyone who would have suddenly taken her children and claimed them as his other than Drake Bell. But last she remembered, she never told Drake Bell that she had babies. How could he possibly find out she has babies? She would have called the cops but it was better to confirm if Drake Bell was the one behind this or not. After unblocking Drake Bell's contact, she placed a call across to him. After it rang for a few seconds, the call got answered. She calmed her anxious self and breathed in deeply, "hi." She greeted as if everything is calm. "You must be calling about the kids, right? They are with me, in my house." Then he hung the call up. Lily gritted her teeth in anger, clenching her fist hard on the steering. She started the ignition of the car, reversed roughly and drove straight to Drake Bell's
"So can I get to see my kids now?" Lily asked. She was very worried about the whereabout of her kids. She couldn't help but wonder what state they would be wherever they are. Her twin were found of being around her and had grown used to her. She felt like crying but she wouldn't dare to cry before Drake Bell. "The kids are mine too now," He stood and added, "but I'll take you to them. Follow me." Lily wanted to ask if he would stop her from taking the kids with her but she decided to suspend the question. Her most important want right now is to see her kids. She followed him outside and was surprised to see him entering his car. He then gestured for her to get in. Lily got inside the car swiftly and while he drove, she couldn't help but ask, "I hope my kids are safe where they are?" He glanced at her and spoke, "I was dumb not to realize how pretty you are when we were married." There was a hint of regret in his voice. Oh! Now he realizes how beautiful she is. She looked away fro
"Dad?" Jayden asked surprisingly. For years, the twin had been asking their mom about their father but Lily had always said their father abandoned her when she was pregnant and that she had no idea where their father was anymore. Jayden turned to look at Lily as if asking if what Drake Bell said was true. This is the truth and there was no need denying it, so Lily nodded. Although he didn't like for the kids to ever meet Drake Bell but fate already made this happen. Jayden and Isabella looked at Drake Bell with a displeased look. The kids had bore grudges against their dad a long time ago after learning what he did to their mom. Jayden walked up to Isabella and held her hand, "mom, let's leave this place quick. I'm scared he may hurt us all again." Hearing Jayden say this aches Drake Bell's heart, he sensed at once that Lily must have definitely told them something ill about their father. Now he has to work hard to redeem his image before his kids. "I won't hurt you." Drake Bell
"It's cold, my children can't be stranded here," he said and made a gesture. At once, a Mercedes Maybach was driven towards them. Indeed, it was so cold and standing right there arguing with him might make her children got sick plus her children were still sleepy. Soon, Lily and the kids entered alongside Drake Bell. Took about fifteen minutes before they got to Drake Bell's villa. Drake Bell led the mother and the two kids inside, the old butler of the villa was quick enough to lead the children to a more comfortable room where they could sleep. The children wouldn't sleep of course without the presence of Lily. After the children had fallen asleep, Lily walked out of the room and stormed angrily to Drake Bell's room. She knocked repeatedly but didn't get an answer. She was so angry and wanted to challenge him as to why he would dare to stop her. She hated the fact that he was stalking her. "Mrs. Bell," someone suddenly called from behind and she turned at once. Seeing the old bu
On a Monday morning, Lily watched as her kids got taken away in a sport car with a police escort trailing after the sport car. Now everyone in her children's school would know that her children are for a billionaire once they see them . Not like she care though but she didn't want the teachers of her children to give them any special treatment just because they think they are children of some powerful people.Lily went back inside to finish dressing in a bit to start going to work. Once she was done, she walked elegantly out of her room. Her room was upstairs and there was a small buglary that serves as a protector before the corridor. She began to walk through the corridor, just when she was about getting to the stairs that leads down to the living room, she saw someone rush towards her."You!" The woman screamed. "Don't even think of seducing my son. It's advisable to focus strictly on the business going on between you two. I already have someone he's going to marry."Lily was unawa
Drake Bell spent some time with his mother comforting her after which he was driven to Bell's LTD company. On getting to his company, he immediately sent for Lily who was busy as at the time.Once she appeared, Drake Bell stood in anger, "what came upon you that made you pushed my mother? What offence has she commited to you?""I didn't push her. She was rough-handling the collars of my cloth because she believed the lies of Amelia. Amelia had told her we were once married and that you had to broke up with me cause I was having affairs with men. She went further to say that I have now come back to your life again with a purpose to ruin it to which your mom believed." Lily explained seriously, "I only took off her hands carefully from my cloth, I had no idea how she fell."Drake Bell walked over to the front of the table and leaned his butt on it, crossing his two legs and looking intently at her. "My mum had suffered a lot but you have just increased her suffering. She had now been co
Lily let out a loud scream of pain and agony. Tears rushed down her eyes even as her heart ripped apart into pieces. "This can not be true... No! My twin can not be dead... Tell me they are not dead, Drake..." She said painfully to Drake who stood rooted to the floor. He was dissapointed in himself that he couldn't protect the kids. "I won't believe they are dead. I must see them," Lily said and Drake Bell immediately walked with her outside. Soon, they were both inside the car heading towards Fiva river. Whereas, after Amelia and Mila confirmed that Drake Bell had driven away, Mila's face curled up into a victorious smirk, "now that we have get rid of the babies, you can easily win the Bell's family with your heart." "Mom, what if we are caught? I think we went too far..." Amelia was scared, a little bit worried. "No one will be able to trace it to us, just relax your mind and be calm, okay?" Mila persuaded Amelia but she was still a little troubled. She even felt a little bit ba
As usual, Lily would check on her kids before retiring to bed every night, she knew for surety that they would have slept but she was found of giving them a night kiss and ensuring their temperature was cool before eventually going to sleep. On entering the children's room, she was shocked to see that the children were absent. She even walked closer to the bed and pulled off the duvet from the bed but still, the kids were no where to be found. She checked the toilet but couldn't find them so she immediately sped out and began to call out their names as she checked every hooks and crannies of the house. When she checked the balcony which was the last place she hadn't checked, she still didn't find them there. The fear in her heart increased. Where could her children be? Did someone take them away cause they can't just walk away by themselves. She then swiftly ran to Drake Bell's room. She planted a loud knock on the door and in no time, the door got opened. Drake Bell could already
Lily didn't contend with him at all. After the passionate kiss, she looked blankly at him and asked, "why is that?""Why are you here?" Drake Bell ignored her question and asked. As he pressed his gaze on her, he couldn't help but adore how extremely pretty she was. "I.. I just want to be sure you really allowed Amelia in," Lily said. "I did. She's going to be my wife, can't I allow her in?" Drake Bell teased. "Of course you can, " Lily threw her hands in the air and said, "I should go." As she took a few steps away, Drake Bell walked swiftly after her and soon went to stand before her, blocking her from moving, "you are more important to me than anyone right now." Lily stood without knowing exactly what to say. What she really wished was for him to send Amelia away but what right does she has to say that? "You don't really want Amelia in my room, do you?" Drake Bell asked. "You can do what you want, Drake. Forget the fact that I came to your doorstep." Lily was already feeling
Whereas, Lily was driven back to Drake Bell's mansion by Alexander Bell. While they were inside the car, Alexander Bell loosened up and had a lively conversation with the kids. Infact, when he pulled his car before Drake Bell's mansion, the kids were reluctant to step down. They so much loved his company. At the end, Alexander Bell promised the kids to show up sooner to them, afterwards, the kids and Lily stepped down and walked inside the mansion. Alexander Bell sighed as soon they dissapeared, he mumbled, "this is getting more sophisticated!" As he made an attempt to start the ignition of his car, his phone rang and seeing whom the caller ID was, he answered it, "hello mum." "Alexander, I thought you said you are bringing Lily over today? I've been at the airport since and didn't see any traces of your plane," the person speaking was Alexander's mother. She was now living in Italy. "Things didn't go as planned. But in a few more weeks, I'll bring her over," Alexander Bell said.
"I think we should inform daddy," Isabella said, obviously referring to Drake Bell. "How do we do that when we are not even with phone," Jayden said, still peeping quietly at both adults who were having a very serious conversation. Lily felt trapped. She felt extremely stuck, being taken to another country is a very crazy move cause she might never have the chance to escape again. "Mr. Alexander, you have to send my kids and I back," Lily said seriously but Alexander instead tried to place his hand on hers but she swiftly removed her hand. "Don't even touch me." Alexander looked at her quietly and then took his face away. Whereas, at Drake Bell's office, he and his assistants sat on the seats present and were both monitoring the movement of the plane that Lily was from their laptop. "Sir... It seems the plane is heading towards Italy," Sarah spoke up. Drake Bell who had his face set squarely on the monitor before him looked for a few more minutes then immediately raised his hea
When Lily saw that Drake Bell was quiet, she spoke again, "I guess that's a yes, I should leave." When Lily stood in an attempt to leave, Drake Bell quickly held her hand, "Michael wants to take you and my kids on a vacation?" "They are my kids too," Lily said, wondering why he didn't say 'our kids.' "it's just a vacation." "Do you trust Michael?" Drake Bell asked. "I do." Lily said. "Going out for vacation will make me happy. Please let me!" Lily knew for sure that if Drake Bell didn't allow her, no matter how she try to force it, it will be impossible still. "Be safe, Lily!" Drake Bell said sadly. Since it will make her happy plus it's just a vacation not like she's leaving him forever, then he should just allow it. Lily was glad he allowed it so she stood and mumbled, "thank you." The following day, Lily and the kids alongside Alexander could be seeing walking towards Alexander's private jet. Jayden spoke, "Mr. Alexander, are you my mom's boyfriend?" Lily furrowed her brow
The man inside the car didn't say any word until the car pulled over before his mansion. They both stepped out of the car and he quickly walked up to her and carried her without even asking of her consent. Lily didn't even have the strength to contend with him, she just relaxed in his arms and let him carry her. In a jiffy, they both appeared in her room. Drake Bell carried her to her bathroom and placed her down gently, "you should bath with warm water," he said gently. "Sure," Lily said and waited for him to leave. Once he was out of sight, she stripped and bathed with warm water. Only then did she stopped shivering. When she came out, she realized that Drake Bell was no longer in the room. She soon dressed up and sat on her bed, wondering why Drake Bell was quiet while they were inside the car, he did not even ask her what she was doing on a lonely road? Whereas, Drake Bell and Lucinda were both inside his car, they were on their way to Mila's house. Mila had persuaded Lucinda
Today was Ella's judgement day, at the end of the court proceedings, the court ruled that Ella should be remanded in jail while further and intense investigation continues. The judge could have sentenced Ella to more than two lifetimes in prison since she commited murder but this was all thanks to Alexander Bell's lawyer. He spoke elequently but still couldn't convince the judge that Ella didn't commit the murder. The judge then ruled for the case to be adjourned until the 30th of the following month. At the end, Ella found herself back in the cell. Curling herself around a corner of the cell, she couldn't help but cry. It was true that she had an argument with her ex boyfriend and even threatened him but she would never kill him.While in her depressed state, she heard a cop call out her name and she looked up at once. "One miss Amelia is demanding to see you." Amelia? Why would Amelia wants to see her? She stood upright and said, "okay, let me see her." The gate of the cell was o
Drake Bell stepped out of the clan's villa angrily. He had expected that Lord Bell would help him but instead, he was sounding bias and kept talking about the agreement he had signed which was for him not to interfere in issues that concern Alexander Bell.Perhaps, he would now need to take matters into his hands. Drake Bell then drove back home. After pulling over at his garage, he rested his stressed head on the headrest of the chair and absorb the banging pain in his chest. He was the cause of all these, if he had been good to Lily in the past, he would not be here working hard to win her over. But there is a tiny hope for him, at least, her kids belongs to him. But beyound the kids, he wants Lily back. He wants her to truly forgive him and love him again, if that will ever be possible.He eventually placed his hand on the door knob and opened it, as he attempted to step out, his phone rang. He looked and saw that the caller ID was Liam, his male assistant.Once he answered the cal
