She paused and looked around, she suddenly sighted a familiar face around a Lexus Rx 450."Ella!" Lily screamed happily. It was her old friend in her university days. She was as a matter of fact her room mate and her bestfriend then. The two women ran into eachother and hugged dearly."Ella, where in the world have you been, how are you?" Lily asked merrily."I travelled to Canada for my masters. I lost your contact, I'm back now," she said with a smile. All of a sudden, she received a message on her phone, "oh my days... The personal assistant to the CEO wants to see me, I need to go back now.""Sure, let's talk later. I also work here," Lily said."Perfect!" She said and both friends quickly exchanged contact, "I've missed you so much, Lily."Lily only blushed and watched as her friend sped away. As she walked back to her car, she began to reminisce about their beautiful days in the university. Ella was such a beautiful soul, she was hundred percent loyal and honest. She was also ve
Alexander frowned angrily, "get away!"Lily opened her eyes when she heard Drake's voice. Seeing that her eyes were opened, Drake Bell spoke, "Lily, so sorry I came late. Did those gangsters dare to hurt you? I promise you, I'll feed their bones to the eagles. Come with me." He stretched his hand as though he wants to carry a baby."Drake Bell, get out of my sight. This place would soon become a place of blood bath if you don't," Alexander threatened but he meant every single word he said."Uncle, take it easy. You can't carry her away, she needs to go back to our children, they are missing her badly," Drake Bell told his uncle.Alexander was shocked to find out that Lily has kids. But hearing him say 'our children' bothers him even more. Did Lily has kids for Drake Bell? If so, why then was Lily claiming that Drake Bell was forcing her to live with him against her will?At the mention of her children, Lily knew she had to let Drake take her home. All these while, she was still in Ale
"Erm...""You may go, let me know your response before the day closes," Alexander said and opened the reports before him."I'll go with you, sir," Lily agreed.Alexander looked at her and nodded then permitted her to leave.A couple of hours later, Alexander Bell and Lily sat on the same table. They had a delicious sets of food before them but they were yet to start eating."I found out you grew up in the orphanage," Alexander Bell spoke."That's right, sir." She answered. This was supposed to be a date, right? But she couldn't help but address him officially."Your parents..." He said, making Lily's eyes lit up. Did he know anything about her parent? Cause honestly, Lily didn't have the faintest idea of how her parents looked like. All she know about them was what Mila, the mathron in the orphanage told her. It's ironical to her how the mathron in the orphanage she grew up in ended up as Amelia's mom.Lily waited for him to speak but instead he was quiet, as if he intentionally put h
Once Drake Bell appeared before her, he hurriedly spoke, "Lily, who made you cry?" A look of a sincere concern was obvious on his face. This was the type of look she yearnred earnestly to see on him many years ago when they were married but she never got to see it."I'm fine," Lily continued walking inside her room.Drake Bell caught up with her and asked again, "your eyes are swollen so obviously, something is wrong. Lily, I know you don't like me but at least, let me protect you. You can't be living with me and someone out there will have the gut to bully you.""I just said I'm fine," lily wasn't impressed by his so called 'caring' attitude at all. Infact, it even disgusts her more. Where was this attitude many years ago when she was married to him?Drake Bell paused and simply watched until she faded out of sight.Lily cried her eyes out until evening. The realization was too heavy for her. When it was 9PM in the evening, she received a call from Ella.It had even escaped her mind
Lily furrowed her brow, she swallowed and took a few seconds of thinking on what he said before she responded, "erm... I wasn't thinking straight then too. Ouch! I've really messed up many times before you, sir. Please don't mind it.""Well, I'll like to," he said.Lily's heart skipped at his words. She immediately let out a dry laugh, "sir... I know you are joking.""I'm not." Alexander answered.Lily's face drop, did he really mean that he wants to marry her? "Sir, I have two kids.""I already know that.""Erm... I'm not mentally capable of marriage now, sir. I'm so sorry," Lily felt guilty for asking him out then. Truth is, she can't go into marriage with anyone now.Alexander stared deep into her eyes for a long time, same with Lily, she couldn't help but adore his beautiful look.Whereas, there was Drake Bell who had traced Lily here after the butler informed him that she left home.Drake Bell who was leaning by his car watched as Alexander and Lily stood very close to eachother,
"I need to speak to you, Drake ..." She said with a pitiful look. Drake Bell who had just finished wearing a simple night wear walked over to sit on one of the two couches in the room, "go on." "Can I sit, please?" She asked and Drake Bell gestured for her to. "I will be your wife legally in a couple of weeks, I don't feel comfortable with another woman staying here with my hubby. Lily needs to leave," she said. "Are you giving me a command in my own house?" Drake Bell asked coldly. "Of course not, I'm just saying ..." "Saying what? She has two kids for me, do you want me to send her and my kids away?" Drake Bell asked. Amelia then confirmed that those two kids that she had seen on the media that Drake Bell was holding were actually his biological children. What's even more heartbreaking to her, those two kids were born to him by Lily. Amelia had cold sweats formed quickly on his forehead on this revelation. She felt like someone that had a huge loss on a bet. "I..." She stut
When it was break period of the following day, Drake Bell and two partners from Canada were to have lunch together at Kakao Restaurant, a very high end restaurant that's only reserved for the wealthy alone. Drake Bell and the two partners were lead by seven professional security men into the VIP section of the restaurant. Drake Bell sat while the two partners sat around the table. The two partners were two averagely old men who would be in their early fifties. They were all on suits.Drake Bell was the one who hosted them to this lunch as a way to show his hospitality. Soon, delicious foods were served before them.Drake Bell by instinct looked around and was stunned to the gut to see Lily and Alexander eating together. Drake Bell's heart shrinked and his mood turned seriously sour. Did she rejected to go on a date with him just so she can go on a date with Alexander Bell?Drake Bell didn't even know why this hurts so much. He lowered his head for so long that one of the partners havi
She then opened the bathroom door slowly, she was surprised to see him inside the bathtub, his beautiful eyes were closed and his head was resting on the headrest of the bathtub. His left hand was holding onto one of the two empty bottles.From what he knows about Drake Bell, he wasn't a type that drinks irresponsibily unless of course he has a lot on his mind. Lily squatted before him then removed the bottle his second hand was holding gently.She took the two bottles and put it far away from him then went back to the bathtub, only his face, neck, broad shoulder and half of the chest could be seen. He looked terribly handsome and it was impossible for her not to adore God's special creation. She wasn't surprised she fell in love with him in the past."Drake Bell," she called very softly but audibly. Drake Bell opened his eyes slowly and looked at her direction then his eyes closed again."Why did you get yourself drunk?" Lily asked, squatting beside him.Drake Bell could sense that t
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
