"How is this going to work?" Charles asked Betty still not convinced.
"Just follow those steps I gave you Charles""And what of if it doesn't work?""it would Charles...trust me" He nodded without any other choice."I'll be going home it's late" she added and stood up and left. He stayed there for a while watching her till he couldn't see her again. He stood up contemplating whether to go home or go and hang out at his friend's place. He reached his home and by a tree, he saw Sonia at the door. He quietly went to Ace's house"Hey bro"Charles shook him and went inside. He sat on the couch making himself comfortable."Any problem?""Is it not all these girls that won't leave me""Hmm....what of lily?""sigh....that girl is hard""How?""....""I don't believe any girl is hard o""Lily is!""How do you know""I have tried everything to get her but it seems like I scarce her."".....""The day before I went to taCharles went to find Betty. She was under the tree reading. "Hi pretty lady""Charles...you seem to be in a good mood""Yes...ready to fight for my angel""That's sweet""By the way how is she""She's getting stronger by today She'll be fine""Hmm OK"She went back to her books. "So can I go and see her" she glanced at him twitching her eyebrows."Sorry to ask...""you seem eager to see her""Yes I can't bear to lose her""Am glad she found someone who truly Loves her"He smiled. "Let's go to class" she added and he followed her. Ashley was disturbed throughout the day. Stella met her lost in thoughts"Hey Ashley" Ashley turned to her and sighed"What's wrong?""It's Charles" "What did he do this time?""He's going after lily!" lily"Lily? which lily?""Which other lily""Why would he go after her?!""I don't know but why are you so upset?" Ashley asked Stella noticing
Dilan prepared to go back to his country since there was nothing else to do back here. His dad won't is needing his presence again for now and nix was already discharged and well to go. "Dilan could we leave the trip till tomorrow?""Why?""I have some stuff I want to tackle""Like?" Linax added"Tomorrow Dilan" and he left. Betty couldn't deny that she felt empty ever since Nix had left her without a word. She had no idea if he was still mad at her or not. His number no longer went through and she had given up on looking for him. She couldn't still understand how much in a few days nix had gotten a hold of her, she could be herself with him and she felt like he always drove her insane. She feel depressed, so she decided to resort to drinking. She drank heavily on that night, she wobbled but she still demanded more. Nix was worried about her. He saw her recently with the guy he had always seen her with. He clenched his fists, as his knuckles turned whi
Nix left the room and went to his car. He turned back for a while, then entered the car and drove off. In less than a minute he was already at home."Let's give Nix" "We don't have time" Dilan spoke as he saw him come in. Nix nodded and went to get his stuff. They were all set to leave when Mr. Noah walked in."Dilan can I speak to you son" nix and Linax looked at Dilan and left him with his dad. Dilan waited for the man to speak."Aren't you going to see your wife first!""She's not my wife!""Your wife to be son!" "When I'm ready!" he answered with finality. "Which is when Dilan?" getting furious"When I'm ready" he answered back closely and stepped into the car. Nix and Linax seeing that Dilan was done conversing with his dad went into the car, and they drove off leaving the man amazed. "Dilan you shouldn't have spoken to your dad that way" Dilan didn't reply but just kept his head low. The car fell silent for a while."I
Charles carried lily to her room. He became worried."She's lucky!" he murmured to himself. If Ashley has succeeded in slapping lily heavens knew what he would have done to her, but he couldn't help but feel worried about lily. He saw how healthy she was today and now this. As he got to her room he halted he didn't know how to face Betty but he knocked and she came out. At first, she was speechless but she saw lily in his hands and became scared"What happened to her""She fainted....." he stammered"How...m" he just walked in and dropped her on the bed. Betty ran to get a bowl of water and Charles helped clean her up, after a while, he woke her up gently and gave her her drugs. She was scared at first because Charles was with her but she saw Betty and relaxed a little she took the drugs and went back to sleep quickly. Betty could see from Charles's face how worried and broken he was. He almost seemed like he was about to tear up very soon."
Charles watched lily for a while making sure she was okay. He couldn't believe this was him. Girls always came to him and gave him all he wanted he never had to bother himself. If he couldn't get a girl he would either forget her and she would still come back begging or he'll keep on showing her affection until she finally breaks down for him in less than a weak. He always boasted that no girl want hard for him, but not only could he not get lily. He had fallen in love with her so deeply and now he had found out she had philophobia."I'll fight for you lily," he said as he kissed her cheek and left the room. He went to his room feeling down. He hoped not to see anyone in his house this night, especially Ashely, but it seemed luck ran out on him. He stepped into his sitting-room happy that there wasn't any girl to disturb his night. He went to the kitchen and got some water. He headed up to his room, he was already feeling tired. He turned on the lig
Silvia felt relieved when she saw Dilan walk in. She had missed him a lot. To her everyone else was unreasonable, especially the males that approached her. she had shunned them saying that she was already engaged. The news had spread around about what had happened to her when she had gone to give her report. She had felt so ashamed of herself but then after her friend Zen had given her some advice she had gotten hope....."He's not married!" Zen told her"What....what do you mean?" she was surprised."He's not married Silvia I had just found out""From Who?" "From my secret source""...""Anyways Mr. Noah wants his son to get married as soon as possible before he passes away as you know many of his enemies are on to him so he's desperate to find a wife for Dilan""Hmm really?""Yes, Dilan agreed to marry only on one condition!""Which is?" seeming eager to know."That they should give him two years""Two years""Mm so you hav
Nix saw her smile and had the urge to laugh but he withheld himself from doing so."Mr. Dilan, you sent for me?" Dilan looked up forgetting that he had left her there standing"You didn't finish the reports!" he asked. closely."Yes sir...your f...I mean....Mr..." she was at loss for words."I need them Tomorrow or you get fired" he replied meanly. She nodded and left the office in a hurry. She had a lot on the ground."I can't bear to fail...ill show nix....." she fumbled as she left to get the reports and herself ready. She left the office feeling confident about herself, she went in search of Zen to help her with Nix."Nix is alive," he asked shockingly "I said he's back!" she repeatedHis lips formed an "Oh""What do you mean by he's alive zen?" she added.Zen choked"Do you want me to answer that right now!" "Yes Zen talk!""Didn't you have something you said you wanted me to help you with?""Wait....where....you...
Lily blinked. "I...." she stammered. She was about to say something but the door opened. They both looked up, Betty walked in."Did I disturb something?" she asked as she walked in closing the door slowly. They both didn't say a word, she just went by lily and sat next to her. "Charles?!" he jerked a little"Any problem?" he shook his head indicating No."What's up with you two?" they fell silent for a while"I...i....asked to...be...her friend" he stammered"Oh...lily....?""Mm"."That's alright be you, right?She looked at Betty and then Charles she bent her head low and looked up"Ok" she repliedCharles was elated. He smiled widely"Thanks, lily" Silvia took her phone and dialed Zen's number. He entered her office and locked the door."You sent for me" "Yes...i...Uhm..." she found it hard to trust zen ever since she found out he was the one that attempted to kill nix. The sight of him was somewhat frightening to
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
