(Lily POV)
“Well, if that’s the issue…being an elder you have freedom to your time. Especially if it’s about our family.” Are they really like this? Talking about having lots of members of the family? Why? How many Lee Chan’s are already there? My goodness.
“You’ll be the next Elder based on your situation Jeoff.’ The Elder who seemed to flatter Jeoff already. That’s’ what he wants right? The reason why he was able to do this game…and another thing… I thought…the elder would know it easily…the thing Jeoff is keeping from them… why is it not yet revealed? Are we really good at acting? Buy Jeoff…if they found out that you’re only fooling them… not on time. Good luck to all of us who is with you in this game.
“There you go Lily, Jeoff will surely give you a chance.”
((( Jeoff POV’s )))I asked my fiancé to stay away from us as much as possible if we are acting. But here she goes again. I am already having severe headache because of her. Isn’t it clear that I am just thinking about her not feeling hurt of what she might see.As soon as she heard the compliment of the Elder to Lily, she already volunteered to serve the tea for us. The four of us were already silent…and I don’t want us to be talking about…tsk having lots of family members…especially in front of Ivy. It would just seem like an arrow that will wound her heart. I don’t want to hurt her… See? I’m still in love with her. Dad is so sensitive and keen about proper serving of tea. That is why Shin just keep silent…and nobody wants to ruin the silence. How I wish that the kid
(Jeoff POV)The tension a while ago was changed to Lily’s flattery. As I do taste the tea. I can’t understand anything…it is just simply a tea.“A daughter in law who doesn’t have any idea of tea culture wouldn’t pass Dad. Hahahaha.. Do you still have a sister Lily? She also knows right? Can I just make her my wife.”“Shin.” Because he is starting again.“My brother Carlos, he is even better at me with this.” Lily answered, with her very beautiful smile. She was sincere if we are talking about his brother.“He taught me about this thing.”“Carmalone, is one of the best person that can easily distinguish the best tea. Your brother Juan Carlos, you got it from him.” The Elder said.
(((JEOFF POV’s)))They love her. And they are showing their affection in front of my fiancé. I know she’s being hurt.“You’re being unfair Dad. Let’s give them a chance, it’s just serving a----.” Tea.I was stopped when Lily tapped my hand to tell me stop whatever I am going to say. She looked at me telling that I am just going to tell useless thing and I realized, I will just really insult my father. I sighed.“Just what my husband is telling, let’s us give them one last chance. They are good in different ways Dad.” Shin smiled at her.I will really hit my brother. The way he smiles , he seem to have the scoreboard and I didn’t even get a point. I looked at Ivy, she is not wearing a servant’s uniform but they thought she’s a h
(Jeoff POV)I also noticed that their toys which are scattered everywhere were gone.“Even so, we still need to bring them back.” Then the three little birds cried.“Mommy Charm, please no!”“I’ll buy you many toys, let’s just obey Mommy Charm okay?” this is Shin. And two pairs of eyes looked at me. Shin’s and the Elders’. Am I really a bully to remove kids toys on my house.“Did Daddy Jeoff remove all your toys?”“No Uncle Shin, a black witch entered to our palace and then…”Seven who seemed to be possessed by Lily in telling stories.“Who’s that black witch?” Icy and Seven look for Ivy, and even before they see her, they saw my eyes.“Let’s bring them b
(((JEOFF POV’s)))What’s your plan now Jeoff?” my father asked me because his tea cup has no more tea. Then I move to fill it up again. Lily’s father taught me how to, but it seems so natural for me.“To stay living peacefully with my family father.” That’s my answer to my father who is waiting for my answer.“You don’t want to become an elder?”“If I’m going to gamble my family’s peace and security I don’t want to.” Then I stopped realizing Ivy is just around listening. I am just telling a lie to my father Ivy. Don’t you ever listen to me. This is what he needs. I just want to earn points and he has to give it to me himself.“that only means you don’t to be the elder. You are giving me such an amazement
(((LILY POV’s)))“Opsssss… do it slowly Seven!” the tree is slippery since it just rained yesterday night, and the parents birds came already and they seem to be panicking not seeing their nest where they babies are. Slowly my darling. The air is fresh and it’s bit windy outside. The sunrise is playing with us.Both of my hands were clasped together. Praying that Seven won’t fall, though Shin is ready in case he fall.“Lucky boy, gran the big branches.” Shin guided him. “Your dad might kill me if something bad happens to you, do you want your dad to kill me?”“Shut up will you? I will fall because you’re so noisy.” Seven barked back to us. Shin just smiled. The three of us were looking up, and the fact is, I am already feeling nervousness. I should have just
(((JEOFF POV’s)))The breeze of icy wind approached me. I look for them, and when I saw them, my eyes widened seeing Seven on top of the tree. I am worried enough for me to run, but I was too late when he already fall and I pushed both of them, Lily and Shin to save the young boy. But at the end, I also fell on them and laid on the grass.“What the hell are you thinking? As I get up and they did as well. “Are you Superman to run here without us knowing it?” Lily said who is not trying to sit, then Shin helped her.“He is.” Shin commented and let go of my wife’s hand and when I see the nest. “Oh…”Lily give a sign to me to control my temper and it might be revealed that&hell
(((LILY POV’s)))The servants immediately get a chair and the medicine for me.The Elder just asked of what had happened. Do they think, I am lready giving birth. Jeoff wore gloves and he seems to be having a surgery. This guy is really over reacting. Let’s be patient with him.When he damped the cotton with alcohol…Ouch… it is no longer allowed to put on alcohol on the wound Jeoff. It will just irritate it more… I can just blow onto it because of it’s pain.“Make it slower sweetie.” And the fact is, I am already pulling Jeoff’s hair. I will totally pull it if… ouch!!!!”“Careful Jeoff.” Shin told him… and his face looks like he drank a vinegar while Jeoff is cleaning the scratched I got and I don’t even know where did I got it.
(Jeoff POV)“Last night, what really happened? My lower abdomen really hurts last night. I know that I am going to have my period again. Did something happen to us?”You are caught Jeoff. There goes Lily. She is already asking. Answer. What are you going to answer her. Are you not going to answer Jeoff?Tsss.Tsk.You just made me shit Lily.Something really happened but it wasn’t continued because of, Argghhhh!I smiled at her and it turned to smirk. I looked away.“Jeoff, it is also my right to know because I only know half of it, something already happened to us but I felt asleep. Because I was drunk and tired. Tell me your experience Jeoff.”And she seems fool asking me. Just like she is so far with a normal girl. Maybe she really know it didn’t happen. Just with her smile.I shook my head.“Your bloody Mary came. And you know me. I don’t
(Jeoff POV)I’ve seen my two visitors and it is early in the morning in my house.But they approached me with a smile because of what they’ve seen.“Here comes the winner Jeoff.” Shin shouted at me and I put his head between my arm and armpit.“I can’t longer breathe, only Lily can manage to stay in your armpit.”I already let him go.“Tsss. I don’t have body odor.” “Lily is so lucky, he is so loving and he doesn’t have body odor.”I sat because the Elder is being quiet. I know why they are here now because I wasn’t able to attend last night. What is that gathering about. And I know what Lily has done will reach them too.Your sister is a headache Juan Carlos, and I think, because of what I’ve done to Lily last night and she is going to be my responsibility for life.Here you go Jeoff , she is really y
(Jude POV)Jeoff is making me amazed. He is fighting with all of the accidents made by me. It is really in different level.But from what I’ve found out, his company would be ruined because of Lily’s brother on bed abroad as a secret to everyone. I don’t know if Lily knows it.Well done Lily, this is a checkmate round.I went to Lily’s brother. I was able to access it because everything will be taken by money, or if not by scaring.I also found out that Lily I asked my men to investigate about what happened and I was just happy enough to get an evidence that will make Lily mad at Jeoff. This the thing Jeoff is hiding from Lily. Go, cover your girl Jeoff. I know you love Lily. But you don't deserve her. I will win Lily over you.I’ve spent days in this game of yours Jeoff. Let’s see if you will still be able to handle it against me I mean with Lily.She is going to hate you.I
(Lily POV)The next day, I helped in the kitchen first before dressing up for myself because I am already going to go to Shin’s company.Butler Nang and I served the food on the table. The kids already went down when Jeoff…I just sighed because they are expecting me to call Jeoff.I knocked on his door then I remember how he teased me before I fell asleep.He just showed me the calendar and encircled the number.“This is an awaiting day, you are mine Lily.” And I knocked the door hardly with a kick.The door opened and Jeoff showed up to me. He just woke up and stretched his arms in front of me.“Good morning Lily, give me a hug.”“Stop it Jeoff, we are now going to eat.”“Tsss. It is early in the morning and you’re mean. You feel you lack sleep.” Jeoff says while whispering and followed me.When I stopp
(Lily POV)When we went down on the plane, the news that the Elder was on the hospital welcomed us. So, his men and his secretary showed up to us.Jeoff went to the hospital with me.Sign that he is worried, or he is showing off? I hope not because he is your father.There are many men around the hospital. Are they this afraid that someone might do something bad to them?So, if possible Lily, you have to go away from them. You will not live without some guards with you.They are just using them as their shield.Living shield. Haist.But, we are just going inside the room. We heard that the Elder is having highblood. They opened the door for us and we saw Jean is being hit.I just looked down. I can’t understand why the Elder is doing this to his sons.He stopped when he felt our presence. He was tired and his face was so red. Mother in law just shed tears, Jean is her son.“You
(Auntie Bell POV)When there’s a hostage taking in the hospital where Lily and Jeoff are, all of the staff went out but a physician caught my attention.The eyes of my boyfriend back then, but he didn’t accept me. I was so curious so I left my men and get near the victims.The physician was about to ride a car when…“Are you son of Leonard Montiveros?” and he looked at me.“How did you know my father?” and he took off his facemask.“I just know him, you look like him.” “He is my father.” And I smiled.“Can I talk to you?”“Who are you?”“I’m Maribelle Lee Chan.” And he smirked, giving a sign to the men he is with to leave.Is he head physician for them to follow him just like that?“Your father is absolutely a good physician, you know?”And I don’t know why a
(Shin POV)I was stopped when someone screamed on the other door. And I remember the day when the girl screamed in library.And that kid is no other than Lily. I get near the door knob.“Lily!” I knocked the door. And I ran towards Auntie Bell.“Auntie Bell, Lily shouted!”“Why is she going to fight. Time to sleep now. And don’t worry. Everything is locked in there.”(Jeoff POV)And I wake up since someone seems to scream. My eyes seem blurry and I saw some doctors. Where is Lily?I immediately removed the blanket and I am so pissed with the tubes attached to me. They weren’t able to stop me. I know that I am in Auntie Bell’s house.“Where is my wife?!” and Auntie Bell showed to me.“Jeoff you have to rest.”“Where is Lily?”“Sleeping in her room.
(Lily POV)I went back to the burned apartment even if Shin’s men are stopping me. Why am I even with them?The police officer already put yellow tape around it. nobody died too.How about Pimples? Didn’t she die too?“Miss Lily.”“Just stay there.” Because I already get in. but they still followed me, but the guys already blocked my way. Where did Shin get these men?"Let's follow the caution sign."Then they lined up to block my way, so I just turned my back. Jeoff’s men are better, I can make ways on them but Shin’s men it would always be a no. I just picked flower and I put it on the apartment a bit distant to mine before. I prayed for Pimples, Jeoff’s and I first baby, I hope that she’s in a good condition. And a voice talked to me and…I opened my eyes. And look for that voice, I looked up and I saw a white tail. It is Pimples!
(Jay POV)I was shocked when Master Jean wants to meet me. I mean, I shouldn’t be shocked right? So I said no because I know it has something to do with my sister again.And I am working with so many things for today , Master Jeoff’s new investors Master Shin let enter here because of new project of the company.Master Shin is so good running a company and all of the characteristics of a CEO is already in him.While in the middle of the meeting with some of Master Shin’s people, the door opened and Master jean showed up making everybody stand up.“How dare you Jay to decline the appointment I sent you, I was trying to humble down myself for you.”“Master Jean, we are in the middle----““Even if there is no meeting, they will surely invest in her because the Elder say so! I am no longer worried if Jeoff will went higher in rank than Shin because of this. then, I already s
