Lily woke up with severe pain in her arm. She winced making Charles wake up. She rushed to call the nurse who immediately rushed and gave her some Anaesthesia to help with the pain.
Lily went back to sleep, Betty was the first to arrive. She met Charles still watching over lily but she was told that when she left that Lily became unstable and needed blood."So what happened?""A young man donated"Her lips formed an oh since there was no one left that night she presumed it would be Charles. Now she believed he loved her."Charles....*He jerked"Thanks for saving my friend"He was a bit confused....he then remembered what happened last night"It was no big deal," he said smiling back at her. He felt uneasy ever since he had seen that man, and now he has surfaced. He knew that if lily knew it was him or anyone then he would lose lily to him."Never" he muttered."Why didn't she come?"'She hiding her face""Or who knows...sheWeeks ran through and everything was back to normal. Dilan had fully recovered and Silvia was back to work. She smiled to herself as she finished thinking of how she would get Dilan. She had to act as fast as she could..she still couldn't feel safe knowing that Zen was still alive so she had to rush things up. She also needed to get rid of lily so she won't interrupt her plans but to her disappointment lily was nowhere to be found. She was happy when she saw how expressionless Dilan was when he got the news. At first, she had thought he might refuse her coming back but he didn't budge, this was the first step to her success she thought. Lily had traveled out to begin a fresh start with Charles. Betty craved to go with her but because nix had pleaded, he was scared of being away from her. She decided to stay with him, she made sure to check up on lily every day. Her bond with nix was so strong even though she badly wanted to follow lily but a bigger part of her craved
Months had passed, and time was ticking for Dilan he had a few months left. Silvia was all over him trying to get his attention but all her plans had failed. She even tried all the effective ways she knew that could make a man go crazy but Dilan remained unfazed. She was slowly giving up. She went home crying."Silvia what's the problem""I have tried... it's not working...He's not giving in"She broke down."Silvia dear....you've been doing it all wrong..."'Wrong?" "How? I haven't I have tried everything in my power to seduce him or even get his attention but it seemed to have turned colder than ever" Her mom smiled"He has 3months left""3month??" "What do you mean mom?""See...Mr. Thor gave him 2years before he could get married" "But how is that going to help me, mom?" "Calm down....but I thought You have met Mr. Thor before""Yes I have but it wasn't...." she saidHer mom interrupted her"It was....
"Are you going for her?" nix asked Dilan but the man remained calm"You have just a week Dilan" Liam exclaimed. He too was worried, he didn't want Dilan to get married to Silvia. He had seen how pervert minded and shameless she was. The sight of her irritated him to the core, he had to make sure that she wouldn't be the one Dilan would get married to but how could he go on when Dilan was not responding. The men sat as they fixed their gaze on Dilan. After a while, he shut his laptop and went straight to his room ignoring the three men. Liam looked at nix who signaled him to talk to Linax who had been quiet all this while. Nix followed Dilan to his room, without knocking he barged in."Dilan what's wrong with you?!" The man glared at him. His aura became deadly but nix wasn't fazed."You're going to let Silvia become your Wife?"Still, he got no response"What of lily then huh?" Dilan still didn't budge nix sighed and turned to leave "She'
Betty moanedShe grabbed nix shirt in a bid to remove it but he held her hands.".....""I need you to do something for me"She raised her brows."I need you to persuade lily to come back," he said without hesitation. Betty didn't say anything, "Why if I may ask?""Don't you trust me?""No I dont," she said in a hefty tone. Nix's face crumpled on hearing her words."I do nix" she blurted she couldn't stand the change in his mood."So will you help me?" he asked with his eyes pleading "On one condition," she said in a frisky tone. Nix immediately nodded as he drew her near to him. "Lily please" Betty sobbed."Okay Betty...just for you" "Thanks, a lot" Betty replied and hung up."Who was that?" Charles asked in a hefty tone. "Betty..she said she wants to see me""But why?...besides you have a lot of meetings to attend this week" "But Betty comes first Charles" she replied as she returned to her des
Nix smiled, at first, he thought that she was furious with him but it turned out she was just jealous."Okay wifey," he said plainly and continued eating. Betty managed to ignore his comment. They both ate silently, after they were done nix paid for the food while Betty walked to the car. He drove her home."Goodbye," he smiled at her.She nodded and left without returning his smile. She walked up to her door"Aren't you coming?" she asked.Nix smiled widely"I thought you'll never ask," he thought to himself."Coming sweetheart"Betty sighed and walked up to her room. She went in to freshen up before nix interrupted her. She came out feeling refreshed, her towel was still wrapped around her body. She dried her hair, she went over to change into her nightwear. She felt a hand squeeze her breasts"My love looks delicious" "Nix...stop" she aggressively pushed him. He stumbled but gained balance"tch" Her towel fell off her body exposi
Nix drove lily and Betty home. "Bye," Betty said as she dragged lily inside"Only?" "What else?" she asked innocently.He tapped his cheek, Betty flushed when she understood what he meant she looked at her friend and her eyes pleading to nix saying "not now" His smile faded and he nodded sadly. She sighed as she went closer and kissed him lightly on the lips. Before he could react she had already left with lily. He drove out to Dilan's place. He was welcomed by pairs of eyes that were now all focused on him as he walked in"Another meeting?" he could only think of nothing else than getting Dilan a wife, but apart from Noah Thor, Karin Thor, Liam, and Linax, there was a woman....not just a woman it was Silvia's mom and seating beside her was no other but Silvia. His jaws clenched in anger on seeing them both but he suddenly remembered about lily and he became as cool as ice and decided to watch how these two can beat Lily. He too wa
"Come my dear" Mr. Thor gestured to her to sit by him. She walked in elegantly and sat by Mr. Thor. He was stunned by her confidence, unlike other girls who seemed too scared to approach him. He hated girls who are weak, and feeble-minded, he saw them as of no use to their husbands'"My son ood eye" he murmured "It doesn't just depend on the eyes alone" she replied Liam forced a smile at her before walking away, Linax followed suit as he was curious on why Liam had suddenly become moody. Nix left the trio to go clarify his assumptions"Liam likes lily?" he chuckled to himself as he left.He didn't expect this man to fall so easily for lily, first, it was Linax now Liam, and him too. Love is powerful he thought, only if he wished it could tie down this stronger man- Dilan. Mr. Thor haven seeing that Dilan and lily needed time alone stood up and gave lily a warm hug"Take care of him""I will" she replied in a low tone. He freed her from his hug. When th
Nix was shocked at what he saw. Liam's face had darkened as he landed a heavy punch at Linax on the abdomen."Hey hey take it easy" Nix shouted as he ran over to them. Liam glared at him and turned to leave but Nix grabbed his hand and sat him down. Linax sat next to Nix for fear of another hit.'So you liked her?Liam didn't respond"How did it happen?" Nix asked softly but still, the man didn't respondThey sat as a wave of silence enveloped them."She's nice...calm....natural...I thought she was meant to be mine""She's Dilan's Liam""Because you found yours right? Because Betty loves you right huh? you want to mock me now huh?" Liam blurted in anger. He raised his fist to hit nix but nix swiftly grabbed his fist "She's him now and there's nothing you can do about it if love found me it would find you too" Nix replied as he looked at the two men who had the opportunity to love but unfortunately their love was not reciprocated. He lef
Noah, Sajan, and Niah hugged Betty tight she felt she was going to run out of breath."Please don't kill my fiancee before our wedding" Phoenix commented. The kids and their father, Cosmo chuckled. Cosmo walked over to where Nix stood."I'm sure the kids would miss you much too especially Sajan"Nix gave a light smile."I will too""I'm sorry for what Sasha might have put you and Betty through with her vain quest"Nix just stared at him and nodded. Cosmo gave him a light pat and then walked back to the children. "Don't forget to call me if you need help with anything" Betty said."Would you fly over just because of them?" Cosmo asked."Yes" she answered with all seriousness "I still take them as mine though not biologically"Betty hugged the trio once more and then cosmo before leaving them to catch their flight. "Now back to the main business," Nix said.Betty wanted to know why her father helped Sasha forge the results."Or didn't he want her to be with Nix?" She thought aloud
Ring ring...Her phone kept buzzing but she refused to pick up. Why would Dilan be calling her so early in the morning? Though a part of her wanted to answer the call and find out why another part of her seemed to have gotten the best part of her reasoning. She watched her phone buzz repeatedly till he decided to stop calling. She breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Then a knock on her door. She felt tormented. What was all this? At first she concluded she would just stay and wait till the person left but the next thing she heard made her heart jump from her mouth. The person had broken her door down and began to look through the house. She peered from above but only caught his silhouette. She ran inside her room immediately and made to lock the door when she felt a strong hand push the door open. She fell on the floor due that action. "Charles?" She muttered."Why are you...?""Lily is missing" he answered back cutting her off. In seconds he explained everything to her. Each sentence
"Congratulations ma'am" the nurse excitedly congratulated her, her face beaming with smiles. She turned to Steve who was still starting ever lovingly at Silvia. "Please make sure she gets enough rest" the nurse repeated but this time emphasizing strictly to Steve.He nodded in affirmation promising to do so. Silvia ed is oblivious to what was happening within her. Steve held her hands and kissed her on her forehead. "Don't be scared babe I'm here for you " he told her. Silvia didn't know what to do at this moment, she was in utter confusion. This could be the end of her life and career. It would have been better if only she knew about it but then Steve found out. How on earth was she going to tell this man standing before her that she wanted to abort the baby? Not that she couldn't but he'll try to find out why.What was more terrible was knowing that she was going to be in trouble when Dilan or any member of his family gets to hear this. Speaking of Dilan..her phone rang...It w
Silvia glared at the piece of paper in their hand, she crumpled it and threw it into the bin. She got into her car and drove home, she began to ponder"a month pregnant?!!!" she yelled."I can't be. This can't be possible. She parked the car by the side of the road and began to do some "calculations""But we were protected and I never skipped my morning pills" She thought so hard her forehead began to hurt. A memory flashed into her brain, she remembered the time she had stayed indoors with Steve all through. She was too lost in the moment she forgot herself. She yelled and screamed and finally sobbed. This was a bad turn for her, she knew she could not even blame it on Dilan who not for once even gave her a handshake. "Steve!!!" She drove to her house in annoyance. She threw her purse on the couch and began to think of a solution"If I tell him....he might want us to get married" she concluded. With the way steve professed his love for her over and over again she knew that telling
Cosmo walked up to Betty and knelt to face Sajan "Am your father" The man told the boy. The boy blinked repeatedly and looked at Nix."Come" Cosmo put his hand forward to take the boy. Nix dragged the boy to himself. Nix fell short of words too even though it had been his wish for all of this to vanish into thin air or for someone to just pop out of nowhere and claim Sajan. But he didn't think he might feel the way he felt now. He had gotten used to having Sajan as his son a part of him felt excited about having him."What do you mean?" Betty asked Cosmo. He smiles embarrassingly but answered her question truthfully, not wanting her to doubt him. "It's a long story" She cocked her head to the side in wonder. "Let's go home then" Betty suggested. Sasha got into Cosmo's car while Nix, Betty, Sajan, and the twins got into the car leading the way for Cosmo. Nix called Noah Thor who advised him to drive to his house including that he would call Doctor Darrel. The car came to a hal
Arriving at the dining hall, the couple and the trio were given a private room. The elevated radiant ceilings and the orthodox scenery embellished an astonishing ambiance. The interior area appeared friendly and alluring with the flowers on each table and relieving piano music that float in the restaurant. The decibels weren't very high, the soundness was quiet and superficial. Nix discovered that Betty had been silent since they entered."You order I'll be in the bathroom," Betty said with a smile. He nodded and sat down with the children all cornered around him. Betty went into the washroom, she wiped the tears that were about to fall, making sure that she was alright she went back to her date. Phoenix had set up a kind of "family reunion" but it was more like a reunion between him and Betty.Betty sat on her seat which was directly opposite nix, giving him the perfect opportunity to stare at her as long as he wanted. They were served lobster balls and tofu "Simple?" Betty asked"
...Betty found it hard to sleep all through the night. She kept on reminiscing about the events that occurred between her and nix. The surprise kisses ran chills through her spine anytime she thought of it.Matt was right she missed nix but more now she thought of him. After a long thought, she stood up to go and meet Alicia but she paused in her tracks when she thought she might interrupt something.Just then she heard a knock."Wanna talk?" Alicia asked.Betty smiled to herself."Nix you have four days left to bring my son back to me" Sasha texted nix.Nix laughed at seeing the message."Any problem dad?" Sajan asked as he joined Nix on the couch."Your mom misses you"Sajan frowned"Why?""You don't hate her do you?""A little""she's still your mom and you shouldn't feel that way toward her" Nix explained to Sajan.Sajan was about to reply when they got interrupted by a knock on the door followed by the swinging open of the door."Matt?""Phoenix... it been long," Matt said giving
"Betty, why did you even attempt that?" Ashely patted Betty on the back while she sobbed heavily."No matter where I go I'll still feel the same way about him....I'll still love him and i"ll still want to be with him. I can still feel him he's like everywhere. But I can't forget what he did. He lied to me he deceived me" she cried."But he loves you that am sure of" Betty didn't say a word after...after a few minutes she fell into a deep slumber."Phoenix?" Matt asked as he sat beside Alicia.Alicia nodded."So how long is she going to stay here?" "As long as she wants" Alica replied curtly "Why the attitude?" Matt asked with a smile"Why the smile?" she asked back"Get serious Alicia....stop fooling around and help your friend""Matt" Alicia screamed his name and rushed towards him. She blew a punch on his stomach and he "groaned" in pain and began to laugh."That hurts babe," he said hugging Alicia tightly "Leave me you twitch""No" Matt disagreed and kissed her."Your lips tast
Nix and the kids had left that early morning leaving Betty alone in the house. She decided to take a walk before she finally left to "find herself".She just couldn't stop thinking of the happenings of yesterday, especially the surprise kisses she had gotten from Nix. Her lips itched to get more but she was relieved her senses were still in control and had stopped her from what might have led to another thing and now she had her chance to run away from him she wouldn't let it go.She decided to take a cab to anywhere her heart finds solace."Going where ma'am" "Just taking a drive""Okay to where ma'am?""Don't worry I'll take a cab""No ma'am just let me" the driver pleaded.Betty didn't want to argue so she agreedThey drove far away from their hometown, she didn't want to see or hear anyone she knew. She was already aware of the "I love you's, why did do that" coming from her friend Alicia and Nix. But she neither hear any of it. Driving down to the beach several miles away. She s
