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 villa.
About ten minutes later, she pulled over before Drake Bell's villa. The guards at the main entrance didn't bother to stop her car from entering the compound of the house. She assumed that Drake Bell might have been given them instruction ahead of her arrival.
On stepping down from her car, she looked sorrowfully at the house. This house... She had determined not to ever step her foot here again. She left this house brokenheartedly many years ago.
She soon began to walk inside the house. If it was someone else who took her children without permission, she would have reported to the cops. But reporting Drake Bell to the cops is useless. He's too powerful to be moved by cops. Even the chief of police cowers before him.
She soon got before the door that leads to the mainroom, she opened it and stepped in, walking inside, she sighted a majestic figure sit comfortably on the chair. He was dressed in a wine suit and had a newspaper in his hand.
It didn't take much effort for her to recognize that this majestic figure seated was Drake Bell.
She walked forward and stood right before him, "Drake, why would you just hijack my kids without my permission?"
"The doctor already took samples of my hair and that of the kids, he would be here soon with the paternity test result. If the kids turns out not to be mine, I'll apologize and let you take them away," Drake Bell dropped the newspaper in his hand and spoke.
"I thought I told you clearly that I eventually aborted the the pregnancy then," Lily said. "Why would you think my children are yours?"
"You could be lying. The children should be around five years old and you were pregnant for me six years ago, the dots are easy to connect. Moreso, anyone with eyes will see a clear resemblance between the kids and I." He said.
"My kids aren't yours. And please stay away from them. It's enough that you made my life a living hell while I was married to you, I don't want to have anything to do with you again." Lily said and added, "bring me my kids."
Her heart was already beating heavily, if the doctor eventually appear with the paternity test result that proves he's their father, won't he collect the kids forcefully from her? Although she was not lacking financially, she's still not half as powerful as Drake Bell.
"I'll let you see the kids after the doctor has presented the paternity test result to me. Be patient," Drake Bell said casually, "Moreso, since you claim I'm not their father, who is their father then?"
Lily became dumbfounded. She wasn't prepared for such question. "You have no business knowing whom their father is. You are wrong by taking my kids without my permission. Please bring me my kids, I need to leave this godforsaken place."
"No." Drake Bell checked his wrist watch and said, "the doctor will be here soon. You shouldn't be worried since you claim the kids are not mine. It's just right for me to perform a test on the kids to be sure."
Lily was frustrated, she left his presence and walk speedily inside the master bedroom but didn't see anyone in there, she began to search every room in the building hoping to see her kids in one.
On checking the last room in the house, her heart ripped on not seeing her kids there. "Where could this bastard keep my kids?" She mumbled angrily.
She stormed back to the living room where he was, "I already searched the entire room and can't find my kids. Where did you keep them? Are they even here?" Her voice was loud and full of rage. She was literally going crazy for not seeing her kids.
A knock was suddenly heard on the door and then Drake Bell spoke, "come in."
The door opened and the Doctor appeared with an envelope, he greeted Drake Bell respectfully, walked over to him and handed over the paternity test result to him.
Seeing this, Lily's heart began to beat heavily. It was as if she will stop breathing. Cold sweats formed immediately on her forehead.
"You may leave," Drake Bell said to the doctor and he dissapeared from the room immediately. Drake Bell looked at Lily who was tensed from head to toe.
He then set his gaze back on the paternity test result in his hand and opened it gently, seeing that he had a ninety nine percent probability of being the kid's father, a relieved sigh escaped his nostrils He placed the paternity test result by his side and looked at her, "the beautiful twin are my kids afterall."
"You can't hide my children from me forever. In one way or the other, fate will make the kids and I collide." He said.
Lily looked away regretfully. Why in the world did she have to come back to New York? She could have just stayed in the city she was and continue living her single mom life. She was happy there taking care of her kids but with this man barging into her life again, it may look like her entire life was about to take a new twist.
"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
Isabella immediately hid behind Jayden's back, "Jayden, they are about to throw us out, what do we do?"Jayden looked at the two burly men and spoke with confidence, "are you going to be cruel to children as little as this?"Other people in the restaurant were only watching but didn't interfer while a few just ignored what was going on. In the city, everyone had learnt to always mind their business as they do not who is who.The burly men looked at the girl child's mother as if asking if she's in support of her child's order.Seeing that the burly guards were looking at her, the girl child's mother looked at the guards and said, "do as my daughter want."At once, the burly men walked quickly to Jayden and Isabella, about to grab them each by their small hands in an attempt to throw them out, two hard resounding kicks suddenly sounded.At once, the two burly men were seeing flying in the air, they crashed to the wall simultaneously and began to bleed from their skull.Everyone turned t
When Lily arrived home from work, she went to shower and then wore a pyjamas, before even eating, as she was hungry, she head straight to her children's room as she knew that they would have returned from school. On entering inside their room, she saw both kids laying on the bed and covering themselves with a duvet. It's not even night yet and they were already sleeping. They were not the type who sleep early.She walked closer to them and realized that Isabella was shivering under the bed. Her heart skipped and she immediately touched her by her forehead to examine her temperature. She could sense at once that she had developed fever.Looking at Jayden's pale face keenly, she could tell that he was sick too. How could her children get sick at the same time? That they are twin doesn't mean that they must fall sick at the same time. Something was definitely odd.She woke Jayden up gently and as Jayden saw her, he immediate curled his body around her. While holding him closely, she aske
About a week later, Lucinda was now at home but in a wheelchair, the doctor had said she will be needeing a wheelchair for the time being. A woman was specifically employed to be taking care of her.Lily had not gone to check on Lucinda since she was back from the hospital and that was because she knew the woman doesn't like her and that it was Amelia that she liked. she also got to found out that Lucinda was pressuring Drake Bell to have Amelia as his wife.While Drake Bell was dressing up for work, infact, he was already done wearing his suit and was at the moment, tieing the lace of his shoe. The voice of the nurse employed specially for Lucinda suddenly rang loud, calling into Drake Bell as a matter or urgency.Drake Bell removed his legs at once from the shoes and immediately wore a slippers then walked out, "Larisa, what's the matter?" Larisa was the name of the nurse."Mrs. Lucinda has lost consciousness, seems she made an attempt to commit suicide," she reported fearfully."Su
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
