(Lily’s Pov)

“here we are, welcome home beloved sister in-law” Jane said as she helped me walk up into my room.

“thanks a lot sister in-law for the care and support” I said

“you don’t have to thank me, we are family now, and that is what family do for one another, you should get some rest, let me go get the remaining things from the living room where the gateman dropped them” Jane said and went downstairs to get my belongings inside my room.

It was almost noon when we back from the hospital and the noon day news had kicked off, since the television was on, I decided to listen to the news. The headlines were read out and one of them caught my attention, it was the headline that stated that ‘the President of the Walkers group of companies will be interrogated over the sudden disappearance of his debtor’.

Hearing that particular news headline gave me a great concern and I had goosebumps all over me as I flashed back to the life threats I got from Jack when I said I wasn’t going to marry

They were already back from the hospital before I got home but I wasn’t in a very good mood to talk to anyone so I ignored the two women and raced upstairs to my room.“Jack Jack” Jane yelled at me but I was already in my room.I got to my room, took off my garments and breezed into the bathroom for a shower. I dipped myself in the bathtub and thought deeply about how to handle the press the following day.It’s so alarming how people can be so ungrateful, the ZEDE company has been a pain in the ass for my company but despite its flaws of not reaching the standards of the companies we partnered with, we still helped her reach her target and made her visible in the competitive market place.

    (Lily’s Pov)Jack’s words pierced deep into my heart and I almost cried out my eyes. Jane was the one who saved me this time, if not for her, Jack would have choked me to death. “what kind of man raises his hands on a woman?” not only did he have his way against my own wish, he still went ahead to raise his hands on me.I was in so much pain, knowing the kinds of pain Jack has inflicted in my life, for the hurtful and hateful words he used on me, I made up my mind to deal with him. He would feel so sorry for himself when I’m done telling the whole world the kind of man he really is.I was burning with so much furry like I’ve never done before, the times I got really angry were few so I wouldn’t say I was a person who gets angry so easily. When Austin betrayed me, I was only hurt for a few days because my dad was there to make me feel better but Jack made mockery of me and the man who had raised me.I felt my heart burning inside of me, I slowly walked into my room and bolted it so no

    (Lily’s Pov)“oh my God!” I screamed as Jane drove into the hotel. It was far more interesting than how Jane defined it earlier. The chandeliers which illuminated the building and its surrounding were so colorful and made everywhere look beautiful. My eyes were wide open as I admired the whole place.I wondered what the interior would look like since the exterior was so beautiful. The taste of luxury was really a great one, for a second, I was grateful for agreeing on going out with Jane. “how could a place be this beautiful?” I asked myself. the places I visited with my parents were quite great places but nothing compared to the beauty that was set before me. I was in awe of how a place could be magnificent and glorious at same time.Jane was busy looking for a suitable place to park our car while I was still busy admiring the whole place. “aren’t you going to help me look out for a better place to park our car, we can spend the whole time in the car if you want” Jane said almost fru

    (Lily’s Pov) We got home exhausted, I was already feeling sleepy, so was Jane but then we had to rest a bit on the couch before heading to our different rooms. I brought my cell phone out from my mini handbag and swiped through the pictures we took together while we were still at the hotel. “see how beautiful we look together” I said admiring how cute we looked together in the pictures, it looked like we were of same parents. “I will have to borrow you from Jack” I joked and we both laughed. Considering the genuineness in Jane, I enjoyed the bond I had with her, we were more of sisters than friends but then everything would be over once the contract marriage is over. “what’s that face for?” Jane asked “what?” “your face just grew pale and your eyes look sad” she replied “really? I’m good, just that I’m tired” I replied Jane gave a sigh of relief and stood up to go to her room but then stopped when she seemed to have remembered something. “that reminds me, who was that guy that

    (Lily’s Pov)After baking our cake and eating to our satisfaction, we had nothing else to do and moreover we got so tired baking our cake. “there isn’t anything else to do, so what now?” Jane asked“movie won’t be bad” I replied. Instead of staying all alone in my room, it would be better watching movie in the sitting room with Jane.Finding what to watch was usually a big task to us but we weren’t much interested in the movie, it was a means of staying together while resting from the stress of baking. Looking at Jane’s protruding stomach got me so hard that I couldn’t resist the urge of laughter.“why are you laughing?” Jane asked me“seems like someone is about to give birth to a cake baby” I teased and laughed so hard.“and I will name her Lily” she grunted and chuckled.now I wish I had a sister and I would be happier it she was Jane, all I wanted was for my thought to come pass. Jane made me yearn for a sister so much.“now I’m drowning, someone is in a deep thought” Jane said“m

    (Lily’s Pov)After Jane’s advice, I decided to give Austin a listening ear, I just wanted to hear what he had to say and if it wasn’t anything reasonable, I would shut him out of my life forever, last chance it is.I went through my call register and found the number he had used to call me before, after thinking about it for a while I dialed the number. It rang for the first time but nobody was responding, I had to dial it again for the last time but then he picked up the call.“Lily, is that you? I’ve missed you so much Lily” he said as soon as he picked the call. He must have been wanting to hear my voice all these while. As much as he sounded so humble I didn’t want to give in to his tricks.“what is it you have to tell me Jack? Please get straight to it” I said with no trace of emotions in my voice.“I don’t know if you ever forgive me this time, I was absent when you needed me the most, I’m sorry you went through all of that alone without me by your side” he apologized over the p

    (Jane’s Pov)My heart was broken hearing that my very good friend from high school was involved in an accident. She was the closest person to me while we were in school. She was more like my best friend. I rushed immediately to the local hospital where she had been rushed for care. I was rushing to the hospital so that I can be able to transfer her to a better hospital where she can get the care she needs.There was a heavy traffic on the road so it took me time before I got to the hospital. I got to the hospital to meet my friend unconscious. All her body was covered with injuries; she was in the pool of her own blood. Fear gripped me and for the first time in a long time, I bowed my head and prayed that nothing should happen to her. Jennifer has done nothing to deserve the pain she was passing through.“excuse me nurse, where’s the second person she was involved with?” I inquired from the nurse“there’s no one else ma’am, she was brought here by a passerby who said he saw her lying

For a long time now, I thought I had a perfect plan on how to destroy my brother but no, I was just about to start.

It is time to get what belongs to me Jack.“you call me sister and yet you don’t care about me” I said gnashing my teeth. I am his sister by birth but he betrayed that relationship when he gladly accepted everything our parents willed to him without thinking about how it made me feel or how hurt I would be. How could he not care that his twin sister didn’t get anything off our parents; nothing whatsoever was willed to me, even when our family had so much wealth to feed the whole city.“oh p

    (Lily’s Pov)“Sorry, for what exactly?” I asked with a voice heavy with emotion.“I’m sorry for everything. Can’t you see how sorry I am?” Austin asked“I don’t care whether you are sorry or not. You’re supposed to stay away from my life, I paid the price for that remember?”“Lily it’s not my fault that things happened the way they did…”“It’s my fault then. How could you? Austin I trusted you so much and yet you broke me the third time. Why do you have to keep hurting me? What did I ever do to you to deserve the things that I get from you?” I asked trying so hard to withhold my tears from dropping.Austin tried to make an inch closer but I took two steps backwards to stop him from coming any closer. I never believed I would set my eyes on him again after what he did to me.When Jack showed me that video of us having sex, a video I knew nothing about, my heart sank into my stomach. Austin took a sex video of us without my knowledge. He drugged me and had sex with me.“How am I suppose

    (Jack’s Pov)In a bid to find comfort, I ran into a bar filled with lots of people and echoes that came from the loud music being played in the bar. It was a locally made expensive bar and had a very beautiful sight but I was in pains not to pay attention to its details.I found my way into the thick crowd that was rocking each other and flirting around. The crowd was congested but I still managed to find my way to the barman’s spot where I would stay and drink until I’m able to forget all that I’d been through.“One beer please,” I said to the bar attendant who was serving everybody.“Are you married?” the young man asked.“Excuse me,” I said looking confused. I didn’t know what being married had to do with ordering a beer in the bar.“You’re in the couple’s corner, if you’re alone then you should go to the other side, divorced people aren’t allowed her either,” the barboy said pointing to the corner which had only a young lady who was already drinking herself to stupor.For a moment

The doctor refused and asked that I let them take care of him while I go back to his brother at home but fear wouldn’t let me do that.“I’m sorry ma, we can’t let you take him home when he hasn’t healed properly,” the doctor said.“But I can take care of him at home, all you have to do is give me his drugs and I will administer them to him following your directions” I pleaded.“It doesn’t work that way, ma’am. Let us take care of his wounds” the doctor insisted.“You’re not in any position to tell me what to do with my child” I fumed.“You can take him home if you want, we are only trying our best to make sure that your son is in good condition” the doctor replied.After giving a second thought to the doctor’s advice, I had no other choice left other than to call on Samantha and let her know what happened to one of the twins.“Hello Samantha” I cried.“Why are you cry

I couldn’t go to the bakery with them because of the heat produced in the bakery shop instead, I decided to take two days off from work and look after my kids while we wait for Samantha to return home.The kids were running around and playing with their dolls while I was making food in the kitchen, suddenly everywhere went cold and I wasn’t hearing their tiny little laughter anymore, after a second, one started crying but I didn’t hear a thing from the other.I got scared and ran out to confirm what was wrong, I got to the sitting room to see my little one lying helplessly on the floor in the pool of his own blood. I wrapped him up in my arms immediately and searched all over his body for where the blood was coming from. I turned him over and it was from his head that the blood was streaming from.Confused and didn’t know what to do I reached for my phon

    (Jack’s Pov)I got home after a long day at the company and decided that I need to rest because I had lunch almost at 4 pm, I didn’t see the need to eat again at night so I walked straight to my room without going to the dining to check what was prepared.“I thought I was going to wait forever” Karen chuckled immediately after I turned the light on.“You scared me! How did you get here?” I asked, disgusted by her presence.“Are you not happy to see me? What was I even thinking? I have forgotten that you have a new wife but I don’t see her anywhere around this place” Karen chuckled looking around everywhere and making a comic face.“I’m warning you, stop it…”“Or what Jack? I loved you and what did you do? You divorced me for some whore who got pregnant for another man, tell me, have you suddenly become impotent that another man had to get your wife pregnant, so pathetic” Karen mocked.“How did you get into my room and who opened the gate for you?” I asked the desperate Karen seating o

    (Jack’s Pov)After meeting with the staff who took away my money, I headed to the company to deal with the complaints I’ve been receiving from our clients over contracts that were yet to be approved. The contracts were delicate and my assistant couldn’t approve them, as I needed to look into them, otherwise, I would have asked him to.My assistant called complaining that we might lose some of our major customers if we do not do anything with the contracts and that was why I decided to go to the company after deciding to stay off the company and have my assistant take care of things.The company was busy and filled with people, soon everybody started bowing at the sight of me as they usually do. I was becoming tired of the entitlement which they gave me, I wanted my staff to feel free with me and not freak out whenever they see me but that seemed like a wish that wouldn’t come true, even when I try talking to some of them they would bend their head until I would be done talking.“Good

Some strange person called Jack telling him that they’ve found her, what if it’s Lily that he found. I think Jack is in love with her”“What makes you think so?” Karen asked.“Because I heard him say to Jack ‘Boss we have found her” I replied.“Not that part”“Which part do you mean?” I asked“The part you said he’s in love with her”“Yes, Karen I think he’s in love with her and if she’s the one that they’ve found then it’s the end of the road for the both of us” I cried perambulating around the whole place.“What do you suggest we do now?” Jane asked.“I do not know, I’m as confused as you are yourself and Jack isn’t giving me any chance to get close to the company despite how weak I thought he was.“That’s not good at all”“Yes, it isn’t and now I’m scared.

It was the new location where he keeps hostages whenever captures anyone that I have him go after.A week ago, my assistant brought to my notice the case of a missing fund where a huge amount of money went missing. It was traced to the desk of our three-year-old staff who was a data analyst. She was employed because her curriculum vitae says she is an experienced data analyst and when my assistant gave her a test, she did very well and that was the most relevant reason why she was employed, so basically, she’s very good at her job.Ever since she resumed work, my assistant has been reporting a missing fund to me but I had them all ignored because the money missing wasn’t much, but this time around, I had it investigated because the money which was lost this time was quite huge and it was nothing I could overlook just like that. I wanted to know the person who’d be so bold to steal from me.My assistant

The doctor’s confirmation of her having twins means that it could be because Jane and I are twins but then I’m not the only one who is a twin, the man she cheated on me with could be too.Sometimes I try to get my mind off from thinking about her but the thought never goes away, it still finds its way into my heart and each time it does, it torments me.When I couldn’t deal with it any longer, I confided in Jane and told her everything that I was going through because she was the only person I could trust at the moment."Do you think I did the right thing?" I asked Jane uncertain."What are you talking about? Don't tell me you're still thinking about her?" I bowed my h
