Will You Like To Marry Me
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The 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 executive room. As soon as everyone noticed his presence, they sat upright and were cautious to even breath. Once upon a time, Drake Bell had fired three hundred staffs from his company cause he got to the meeting hall two minutes before them.
Drake Bell was dreadful to say the least and he's always on his icy look. Soon, he sat on the central seat while his two assistants sat close to him. Other staffs were already seated around the round table.
"Good morning ladies and gentlemen, is miss Dark Wealth already here with us?" Drake Bell greeted and asked, glancing his face around the people seated.
"I'm here, Mr. Drake Bell. Nice to meet you," Lily said, Drake Bell set his gaze at her on once. He was utterly shocked to realize that Lily was the top designer that his company would be working with.
His ex wife... Now a top designer... How?
He put his emotions under control, nodded and said, "you are welcome." He replied flatly and gave an order for his male assistant to commence the meeting. After an hour, the meeting came to an end and everyone began to leave the room but as Lily made an attempt to walk away, Sarah, the female personal assistant to Drake Bell appeared before her and said, "miss Dark Wealth, the CEO requested for you to wait behind, please."
Lily looked towards where Drake Bell was, he was still seated majestically on the same spot. Lily simply nodded. Soon, everyone evacuated the executive room including the two assistants of Drake Bell but the assistants stood outside the office, by the entrance waiting for Drake Bell to come out.
Amelia walked up to the two assistants, Liam and Sarah and asked, "Mr. Liam, Miss. Sarah, it seems the CEO and Lily are alone in the room?"
"They have some business matters to discuss. She's our new partner so it's okay if the CEO decides to meet with her in private," Sarah answered.
Why were Liam and Sarah sounding like they didn't know Lily and Drake Bell used to be husband and wife? Amelia thought. Liam and Sarah had been Drake Bell's assistant for more than half a decade. They know so many things about him.
"Mr. Liam..."
Liam interrupted Amelia before she could continue, "I know what you are about to say but I'll advise you not to spread unnecessary rumor, you may end up in Mr. Drake's black book."
"You should leave now, miss Amelia," Sarah added. Amelia felt embarrassed and walked away. She was the top manager of the company and was respected by most workers here except Liam and Sarah of course.
Sarah turned and began to walk away, she immediately placed a call across to her mom, once her mom answered, she spoke, "mom, Lily is back." She added sorrowfully," and she's even in the same room alone with Drake Bell as we speak."
After a few seconds of silence at the other end, Amelia's mom, Mila cursed with a gritted teeth, "that bitch! I'll handle it, don't worry sweetheart."
Whereas, Lily stood gallantly at the executive room. Her face was bold and totally devoid of fear. She didn't look like the gentle Lily of the past, she used to be timid all through out her years as Drake Bell's wife but now, she looked as tough and fearless as a lion.
"Sit," he said.
"I'm okay this way. We were done highlighting my works here at the just concluded meeting, I do not understand why you request to see me here alone," Lily said.
Drake Bell stood and walked to her, "did you eventually had the baby?"
"What baby?"
"The doctor eventually confessed that he didn't perform the abortion on you, he said his conscience wouldn't let him," Drake Bell explained.
Now Lily understood clearly how her pregnancy survived. She played along and said, "you forced me to the hospital to have my babies killed. Technically, I'll call you a murderer. Do you think I'll nurture such pregnancy knowing the type of person you are? I aborted the pregnancy myself and moved on with my life."
"You shouldn't have," he said immediately, a hint of regret filled his face, "I was very wrong to make such attempt to abort your pregnancy. I began to regret my actions after finding out that I actually had a night stand with you in my drunken state. I thought you had an affair..." He gritted his teeth in agony.
Lily scoffed. See who's regretting now? "If there is nothing else to take about, I'll like to take my leave."
Drake Bell suddenly grabbed her wrist, "Lily, why are you acting this cold? You use to love and adore me..."
"Until you made an attempt to kill my baby," Lily interrupted and yanked her hand off, "you are an heartless devil and I can never forgive you."
"Lily... We all make mistakes, I'm ready to make up for it. I'll give you everything you want this time." He said seriously and added, "I've made a background research about you and realized you don't have any man around you. How about we start again? Let's leave the past behind and start a new life?"
He continued passionately, "I know I treated you like you worth nothing to me. I shouldn't have been cold to you just because you couldn't conceive, I shouldn't have starved you of affection and love. Lily, you have to find a place in your heart to forgive me."
"Too late," Lily answered.
"Too late?"
"I don't love you anymore and infact, I wish the worst upon you. Requesting for the both of us to be together again, huh? You must be dreaming, Mr. Drake Bell. Let's focus on the business we have together and let's hope we can make a success out of it. I'm willing to make the company I represent proud," she said and carried her small handbag that she had dropped on the table, "bye, Mr. Drake Bell."
As she took a step to walk away, he grabbed her wrist again and spoke gently, "how about a dinner tomorrow? don't say no."
Lily wanted to yank her hand off his grip but his grip was too hard, he wouldn't let her go. He looked obsessed. But Lily was feeling very uncomfortable with his touch.
"Okay, I'll come." Only after she agreed was she able to pull off her wrist. She immediately walked out of the room. She had only said she will come just so she could escape his sight, the truth is she will never attend a dinner with such an heartless man.
She suddenly sighted a giant and handsome man who had a slight resemblance with Drake Bell. This man... She saw him during her wedding with Drake Bell many years ago. Her brain suddenly picked, he was Drake Bell's uncle. She remembered Drake Bell calling him uncle then.
("I've made a background research about you and realized you don't have any man around you.) Drake Bell's words suddenly rang in her head. So because she didn't have any man around her, Drake Bell thinks he would be able to access her easily, huh?
She immediately ran to meet the giant man, apparently, he was walking towards Drake Bell's office.
"Hi," Lily greeted with a refreshing smile. This giant man, Alexander Bell lived most of his life abroad and barely come home unless it's very important. He barely stays in the city. He didn't even recognize Lily to be Drake Bell's ex wife.
"Hi," he replied, trying to figure whom she is. Seeing how he addressed him, Lily could tell that she had no idea whom she is. That's even perfect for her plan.
"My name is Lily, am I beautiful enough to your taste? Will you like to marry me?" She asked.
The giant man's eyes furrowed in shock. He wasn't expecting that in his wierdest mind.

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.

"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.
