(Lily’s Pov)

I was home with Jane listening to the president of ZEDE make his confession and apology to Jack. I was very happy when he confirmed that Jack didn’t have a hand in his disappearance. At least that way they wouldn't be more dramas anymore.

I might have judged him wrongly in the case of the president of ZEDE but I witnessed his wickedness in my own life. He treated my father like he was nothing and took everything we had. If he was generous as the president of ZEDE said he was, why didn’t he let go of the money my father was owing him? Instead he confiscated everything our family had down to the only survivor in our family.

I pretended to be happy because it was a moment of victory for Jack and I didn’t want him suspecting me for any reason.

Jane on the other hand wasn’t as happy as I was expecting her to be. It was her brother’s victory and she was acting all cold.

“what’s wrong Jane? You are supposed to be happy for Jack”

    (Lily’s Pov)We took Jane home and made her relax very well on the cushion while I served her share of the cake. A part of me saw how Jack was salivating on seeing the cake I gave to Jane but I wasn’t ready to give him a share of our cake for yelling at me over the phone. I served Jane and served mine while he sat down and watched us enjoy our cake.“You should be careful and not spill the juice on your cloth,” he said to Jane“she’s not a child” I replied.“you should have some cake and Juice too, you didn’t tell Lily that you love cakes?” Jane asked Jack.“Really? He didn’t tell me and this is just the last cake that I’m eating” I replied.“you can have my own if you want, I’m okay,” Jane said and handed her cake to Jack.All through my life, I’ve never seen an adult eat cake the way Jack munched the cake that was given to him by Jane, he must have really loved to eat cake a lot.Somehow a part of me enjoyed watching Jack as he munched the cake and sipped the orange juice he poured

    (Lly’s Pov)A million at once was the number of times my heart skipped. I had no one who I pictured would be calling me by that time of the night and to make the whole situation worst for me, the caller decided to call when Jack was home and awake.I searched the whole place with my eyes but he wasn't there. I looked further, this time very well but he was indeed gone. I took the opportunity, to get close to my phone to know who it was that was calling me by that time of the night. I became perplexed at the very moment I peeped into the screen of my old Samsung phone.I was sure to have warned Jack the last time we spoke not to talk to me anymore but I guess he didn't cherish his life as much as I thought he did to be calling me again.It was obvious he didn't understand the weight of his actions and how much pain they can bring on him he continues and doesn't stop calling me.He might not know how dangerous Jack was but for the sake of old times, I had to keep trying my best to keep

    (Lily’s Pov)"Hello! Hello! Hello!" Austin's voice kept on echoing without getting a reply.I was still on call with Austin when Jack walked in and I could feel my heart leaving my body. I ended the call immediately and tried as much as I could to put a smile on my face.“Who was that you were on the phone with?” he askedI became confused and didn’t know what to tell him, I searched my thoughts thoroughly for a suitable lie to tell him until I finally found one.“that was my friend, my high school friend, it has been a long time since we heard from each other and she’s already missing me” I lied, trying so much to put my phone down while I long press the power button to turn it off so as to prevent Austin from getting to me again.“Okay, that’s alright but always know that you can visit any of your friends when you feel like, you’re free to see anybody, men exclusive,” he said.I nodded and wanted to walk past him into the room when he held my hand and drew me back.“thank you for ta

    (Lily’s Pov)I got up early the following morning, it was a beautiful Friday morning. I woke up happy for a reason I do not know. it was the first time a celebration would be held in the WALKER’S mansion since I moved in. Jack had a taste of my cake and wanted more of it. He booked me for food, drinks and of course his favorite, cake.I went down to the store room to check the ingredients available so as to know the ones to buy in the when I get to the market. I couldn’t drag Jane with me because the doctor already made it clear that she needed to rest. Going to the supermarket without Jane sucks but I had to anyway.I picked up my phone and raced down the stairs looking at nothing in particular trying so hard not to forget the things I needed to buy. Jane wasn’t going to the supermarket with me to drive me and there wasn’t any way I was going to trek down to the supermarket, it was quite a distance.Running out of breath, I stood fixed watching the car keys lying on the table. I made

    (Lily’s Pov)My morning already started off stressful. I got back home from the supermarket and parked Jack’s Ferrari the same way it was when I picked it up.The house was so quiet that it could be mistaken for a cemetery that morning. In as much as I was a quiet person, I didn’t like the atmosphere that morning. Everywhere was so quiet and it looked like there was no living soul in the mansion. It got me so bad that I lost the happiness I got from watching the pregnant woman at the supermarket. I managed to smile when the image of the lady flashed right in my head.The gateman has been of a great help to me lately, he helped me get the things I got to the store room and I knew just how I would appreciate him. my mom did teach me and siblings to always show appreciation even in any little way, for the help given to us by people.I dropped everything off and headed to Jane’s room to check up on her and be sure she was better than she was the previous day.Jane wasn’t the type that usu

    (Lily’s Pov)The party was about to start, I went up into my room to take my bath and get dressed, I made sure I wore a flayed dress to make sure I feel comfortable while eating and drinking. It didn’t take me much time and I was done dressing up.I ran to Jane’s room, knocked on her door but they weren’t any response, I called out to her and her voice came sounding from the dining room, I never thought she would be in the dining before me. She sounded like she didn’t like the idea of celebrating at home.Jane was already at the dining, with Jack, staring at the beauty before them. I gave a heavy sigh of relief knowing that I did a great job and both Jane and Jack were so loving the sight. It was a table for four, Jack and Jane already sat at the edges so I had to seat by the side, not like I had any other choice.The red wine was poured into the three glasses which were meant for the three of us and we made a toast to Jack’s victory, and that marked the beginning of the celebration.

    BRANDON’S POVI knew it wasn't fair to burden Alice with my problems, but I needed her presence. I was exhausted, desperate, and frustrated. All I wanted was for this entire situation to turn into a dreadful nightmare. It was beyond frightening. My dad lay there in a hospital gown, looking pale and feeble. I had never seen him like this before, and it pained me to witness his condition. I was so accustomed to seeing him give orders and never spending more than a few hours in bed.Finally, the doctor emerged from his room accompanied by a few attendants. As soon as I saw them walk out, weariness etched on their faces, I stood up."You can go see him now, but be careful not to stress him. He's still very weak," the doctor cautioned."Alright," I responded, making my way inside with Alice."Um, Mr. Jones, one person at a time. You cannot enter with another person," the doctor intervened."And who are you to tell me what to do?" I snapped, continuing towards my dad's room."Maybe we shoul

    (Lily’s pov)I was beginning to fall in love with Jack, even though I didn’t want to. I feel uneasy around him and sometimes I just enjoy watching him. it was a lot different from when I fell in love with Austin. Knowing how cruel Jack was and still desiring him was a big mistake but yet I was happy that I was doing that mistake.I couldn't help myself, falling in love with the man who induced me so much pain. I barely slept at night because I was thinking about him.As if fate was in my favor, I ran into Jack in the kitchen when I went to get a bottle of water from the freezer.He had come down for the same thing early that morning but was already on his way out while I was coming into the kitchen.As I'd never seen him before, I ran my eyes from his bare chest down to his abdominal hair that was visible around his naval territory. His muscles were so attractive that I didn't know when I lost myself admiring his abs. I never really saw him."Are you okay?" he asked me seeing how weir

    (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

    (Lily’s Pov)When my son woke up, I had to beg the doctor to let us go because his twin brother was at home all alone. 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

    (Lily’s Pov)I was at home all alone looking after the kids because Samantha had gone to visit a relative leaving the twins with me. 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.

    (Jack’s Pov)I rushed in the direction of the address where Nate sent to my phone. 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

    (Jack’s Pov)As much as I pretended that everything was okay with me, I still had something bothering me, something that haunts me all through the night, it was the thought of Lily.I lied to myself severally that I did the right thing by sending her out for cheating on me but however, something didn’t seem right to me. 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
