She cut the call While it was still halfway. She began to think of what Charles had meant to her, he was like her second best friend after Betty.
"Betty!!!" she couldn't believe it, she had forgotten about her.She quickly brought out her phone and dialed her number. It rang but she didn't pick it up. Lily was saddened throughout the day she felt uncomfortable and angry at herself. once it was time for her to leave she rushed out of the building and rushed to Betty's place. On her way, her phone buzzed and it was Charles but right now she didn't feel like talking to him. She drove to her house and quickly went straight to knock, after a few knocks the door opened but who she saw wasn't Betty it was their maid."I'm looking for Betty," lily asked hoping for a positive answer"Sorry ma but they aren't around," the woman said. Lily fell downcast, she walked out feeling hopeless. Then her phone buzzed again, this time she picked up the call. Charles was surprisLily felt very nervous when she woke up that morning she barely slept. Her mind was preoccupied with the thought of Betty leaving her, she checked her phone for any messages or calls but to her dismay she found none. she dragged herself to the bathroom. She came out with her towel wrapped around her body, her hair still dripping wet. She jerked when she saw Charles on her bed. "What are you doing here?" she asked as she shook, gasping her towel so tightly around her so it won't fall. "Oh sorry...i..." "Just go" she answered coldly. He nodded and left the room. After she had dried her hair, She put on her blue top with her black jeans, she tied her hair in a bun with strands still left out. She dragged her bag downstairs to meet Charles, the man seemed bothered as he flicked through his phone. "Any problem?" she asked startling the man. He shook his head and helped her carry her bag to the car. When they had begun to drive you to the airport lily noticed
Lily woke up feeling a little sober, she turned and Charles was still sound asleep. She quietly lifted herself and came down the bed without making any sound to avoid waking Charles up. She turned back and looked at the sleeping Charles."Cute" and she went to take her bath. When she came out Charles was nowhere to be found, she thought he had gone to get their food but after a couple of minutes he hasn't shown up. She became too hungry and decided to order something after she had finished her meal he still hasn't returned. She brought out her phone and dialed his number but it didn't go through, she panicked thinking of the worst thing that could have happened to him. She was about to go and search for him when the door opened and she saw him staring at him. This time she saw a mix of emotions following through his eyes she couldn't decipher what he was up to. "I found her" he finally said breaking the silence between them. Lily jumped up happily"Let's
Lily tucked herself in as she waited for Betty to meet her. Charles had called Betty out, he seemed so tense so Betty followed him expectant of what he wanted to tell her. Once they were out of hearing, Charles sighed "I know you are happy that you and lily are okay now," he said grinning."And you want to spend the rest of the day with her before she travels back" He hesitated for a while as he looked at her trying to figure out how she would act but Betty just kept a poker face staring at him. "I want to have a date with lily tomorrow evening" "But you can have her in the morning" he added. silence reigned between both of them and Charles was getting uncomfortable with the fact that Betty hadn't said anything. "Okay," she said and Charles smiled at her."Thank you," he said hugging her. She nodded releasing herself from his grip she bid him good night and went to her room. After Betty and lily had a heartfelt conversation they both drifte
Lily felt the warmness that enveloped her body when he touched her. She felt like she would lose it if he had continued, she watched him walk away. Deep inside her she felt shattered, looking at his blue eyes though they seemed lifeless she could see all manners of emotions lingering on them.HateRegretPain Her heart clenched, she wanted to run and hug him but she didn't know why she cared. She just met him now and "Probably never meet him again" she sighed feeling downcast as she turned to the already fuming Charles who just watched her from afar, after watching her for a while he turned and went back to their apartment. Dilan walked into his father's place still calm and cool as if nothing had just happened"What took you long?" he heard his dad shout at him. He didn't reply but just sat and waited for the meeting to commence. Nix was frozen when he said, Betty. Her dressing was simple but he found it hard to stop admiring her.
Betty walked in feeling all happy, she ran excitedly upstairs to meet lily. When she opened her door she saw lily staring at her window, she looked so lost in her thoughts that she didn't even notice that Betty had stood at her back for a long time now."Lily" Betty tapped her on the shoulder gently. Lily jerked, she turned to see a worried Betty. "Did anything go wrong?" She askedLily shook her head. Betty wasn't Satisfied with Lily's answer she had to find out why she was like that"Did their date go wrong?" she thought"What did Charles do?" She held her temples trying to figure out what had gone wrong. "Where is Charles," she asked lily She noticed that lily hesitated which made her feel very uncomfortable"He's....outside.....by..." she stuttered.Betty nodded and left immediately to find Charles. She sighted a glimpse of him as she ran towards him, she was about to let out her frustration and all the questions she had but he paused
Betty's eyes blinked open slowly against the sunlight streaming through the window in her room. She turned to the other side, but to her Dismay lily wasn't by her side. She suddenly remembered that she Was to leave today"Not so early," she said as she dressed up and rushed downstairs. She paused in her tracks when she saw her parents dining with lily and Charles. She could notice the cold atmosphere between the two, she ran to hug lily."Good morning mum" "Good morning dad" she greeted them as she sat between Lily and Charles "Good morning Betty" her mum greeted her "So I guess I don't deserve any hug from my daughter" her dad pouted like a child. Jenna felt short of words seeing her husband act like that before everyone. Betty giggled as she hugged her dad and placed a kiss on his cheek. They all began to talk about lily and her new job."Congrats dear" "Thank you ma" lily answered with a smile "Oh. Betty someone droppe
Betty was shocked at what she heard lily say"oh I thought you said people change" Betty grumbled "I didn't say I like him" lily defended herself."Him? Who him?" Betty asked."I don't know his name""Oh" Lily turned to her "I'm sorry if what I told you earlier made you angry I guess I'm still holding on to my past" "Lily you have to let go" "I can't" she sobbed "But I guess from the way nix thinks of you being his wife... think....he ""I'm happy for you," she said wiping her eyes "Lily....you will find love...I promise you that" "I just wish I could meet him again" "Him?.... I wish I could see this him.." "Me too""You don't have any clues on finding him?","Not even a bit" "How about we take a walk maybe we could finally find him" Betty suggested"What if your date?" "I still have time..come on let's go," Betty said. The duo prepared and left the house excitedly. They had gone a
Dilan ignored nix as he entered the car. The silence in the car as they drove off was alerting not because they had suspected an attack but because of the way Dilan looked at the flower in his hand as he held it gently."You know it would soon die right?" nix broke the silence. Dilan turned over to him and back to the flower, "I need an hourglass" Dilan ordered nix "Why me?" he asked but Dilan gave him no reply..."Why is it a pink lily?" Linax asked as he couldn't hold his suspicions "Well....a lily is all about purity""And a pink one represents love, admiration, and compassion""So I'm guessing this is a pure love" nix added"Love? who would love Dilan?" Liam said but Dilan didn't react "I'm guessing a lily" nix chuckledBetty felt so sad to see her friend leave. "I'll be waiting for you back home Betty" "I'll miss you," Betty said as she hugged lily "Hey hey stop crying you don't want to spoil your face before
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
