Damian Cross was so excited about his future prospects that he didn't remember that he had promised Anna that they were going to see a gynecologist. Anna was two months pregnant and should start seeing a doctor already.

"Damian must not be seen with you so soon. You are Lily's best friend and as expected, you should stay away from Damian for the time being, otherwise, the public will start passing unhealthy comments and questions about Lily's death" Collins Cross cautioned.

Lily Cruz was dead and a few days later, her husband and best friend were seen going out together. What would people say or think? For now, they had to stay under cover and not do things that would arouse suspicion.

Damian Cross agreed with his father's opinion and so did his mother. In the end, they concluded that Anna would go and see the doctor alone. Anna made no complaints and simply agreed with Damian and his parent's decision.

Few days later, the Cruz cooperation was reopened. Damian Cross took over

    Lily was a beauty to behold. Her attractive look was capable of making someone freeze in their paths, just by staring at her. All the employees of the Starlight Group were captivated by her radiance. Lily practically took everyone's breath away. Her curvy figure was glaring at the mermaid gown she wore exposing part of her soft white babish skin. The female employees stared at her with pure envy while the males were lost in admiration. Justin threw a quick glance at the faces of his colleagues and saw them all staring at the beautiful Lily without even sparing him a glance. Gosh! Beautiful women cannot pass unnoticed. None of the employees even spared him a quick glance. After all, he was standing next to her. Lily raised her head upright, looking at the faces of the people present. She wore a poker face and gently took a spot for herself. She felt unwelcomed especially from the female species and thought the opposite gender sees her as being seductive. She couldn't find

    The smiles on their faces completely disappeared and were replaced with a serious expression. Justin gave a slight bow but Lily shivered but quickly turned her face away as if she hadn't observed anything unfamiliar with the Man's frosty gaze. Kayden Diego simply looked away and walked further into the floor. He gave a brief welcome speech and further promised that every employee will receive an additional 50% bonus to their salaries. They were having the party to celebrate the successful signing of a multibillion dollar contract. He raised his glass and gave everyone a toast before retreating. Lily couldn't help but feel excited at the way he spoke. He looked calm and totally in control. Every word coming out of his mouth sounds sweet to her ears. She must confess that he had that charm that could captivate the heart of the most morally upright woman. She saw his handsomeness in a different perspective. He looked more handsome in his suit. She'd never seen him in a suit befor

    Kayden Diego looked at the woman in his arms, his mate!. The wolf in him growls and would have jump out if he hadn't apply so much effort to control it. As the elevator closed on them, he blinked his eyes and gently lifted her princessly closer to himself. Now he's found the answers to his questions and a reason to all his 'why'. No wonder the impulse to save her, to see her recover, the willingness to give up his blood. All these happened because she was his. He stepped out of the elevator as soon as it stopped and took the unconscious Lily into his black porch. Justin caught up with them just as Kayden Diego slipped into the car. Quickly he joined in the ride sitting in the co-pilot seat. He threw a glance at Kayden Diego from the rear view mirror and saw him place Lily's head on his thigh. A sight that almost made him open his mouth agape. But Kayden Diego closed his eyes and placed his head on the back rest. He was obviously occupied with his thoughts. Occasionally he

She stayed put and waited for him to find her in the bedroom. When the door to the bedroom

    Justin sprang up with a scream. Past noon? They were supposed to take a flight to Singapore, himself and boss Kayden by 8:00am. Gush!! No wonder his boss called him, he's never called him to keep up a meeting or appointment. "Is everything alright?" Linda asked. And immediately she asked, she regretted asking. How can everything be alright with the sudden reaction of Justin. Something had definitely gone wrong. Justin picked his car keys, his cellphone and dashed towards the door. As his hand was on the door knob, he turned back and gave a hurried explanation: "Boss Kayden and I are supposed to travel to Singapore by 8:00am. Will call you later" and went out shutting the door behind. Linda who hurriedly followed Justin out of the door stood and watched him drove off in haste. She sighed, she's afraid Justin would have missed the flight with President Diego. He might have left already and will definitely be unhappy with Justin. Justin drove in very high speed of 180 km/h and

She was looking outside and was contemplating, If this man Larry Jones was truly her friend and classmate like he said, then he could possibly help her to locate her family. This was what she was trying to make Kayden Diego understand but no, he doesn't want to understand nor reason with her rather confine her to his mansion. If she hadn't taken the bull by the horns and taken a leap of faith, she wouldn't have met this man who knows her and told her they used to be friends.

    Kayden Diego frowned. What's the meaning of this? what audacity? "Are you alright?" Kayden inquired. He's feeling she's not alright to have deliberately stand on his path. "I can only be alright if you take back your card. If you don't want to help me find a job, that's alright but you can't stop me from getting a job and meeting my needs" Lily snapped at him. "What are your needs that this card is not enough to pay for? I gave you the card to buy whatever you need. So you'll keep it. That's my verdict" Kayden Diego thundered. This woman is stubborn and he must subdue her pride. "I don't want to have it. On what grounds am I supposed to keep it?. I am not your girlfriend neither am I your woman" Lily retorted back.

    He wondered if Lily felt any remorse for what she's done to his mother? She's behaving like she doesn't even give a damn. He was taken away by the police in handcuffs with his father. But his father said nothing. He doesn't know why he couldn't say a word. He was injected with an unknown drug by one of Lily's men. Had they turned him into a dumb man? Damian's mother was taken to a prison hospital. No one cared to investigate what led to her falling into a state of unconsciousness. Having settled everything, Lily sighed audibly: She'd taken her revenge and felt an inner satisfaction. Her parent's killers have been brought before the law. They were going to rest in peace and be happy that their daughter did what she was supposed to have done a long time ago: severe every relationship with Damian and sent him to jail Lily ordered the servants to give the mansion a thorough cleaning and remove everything that resembles or belongs to Damian Cross and his family.

    "Get some rest, you'll be coming out as the Lily Cruz everyone thought was dead, tomorrow" Kayden announced to her. Now was the best time to act. Damian is powerless and is facing the battle of his life right now. His wife Anna has her own story to tell. No one can make a report about what happened that day, on the contrary they will be surprised when police come after them. "Tomorrow? I was going to still play around with Damian more" Lily pretended to be unhappy. She wants to see Damian Cross and Anna Brook pass through a second phase of her torture. "Is tomorrow too early? We need to strike while the iron is hot" If they delay, Damian Cross would recover and create a scene. And that may get them delayed." As for Damian Cross, you have dealt with him enough, let the law take over" Kayden Diego declared. "Ok. But how do I appear tomorrow?"Lily asked. That has been bothering her for a while now. Since everyone except Harold Aaron believed that she was truly dead, how will peopl

    Anna Brook started sobbing audibly. "Lily, please spare him for old times sake and let's take him to the hospital. I am begging you". Her husband had suffered severe pains and even passed out. The least that can be done to him was that he should be taken to the hospital but alas, Lily wants to wake him up with a chilled water? Seeing the bodyguard's blood stained hands, she can imagine what Damian Cross was going to look like. He had lost his ability to father a child, but his life should be saved. The once naive and fragile Lily had turned into a monster. "You should start worrying about your own calamity rather than your dear husband"Lily declared and looked at her with hatred in her eyes. She should worry that Damian Cross would not be able to make love to her anymore. She had helped him to have true erectile dysfunction. Soon Damian Cross was dragged out and he was bleeding. The smell of fresh injury filled the entire hall. Kayden Diego and Justin would surely have been rea

    Damian Cross blinked his eyes several times to be sure he wasn't in a dream land. He stared at the woman in front of him as fear gripped him. He tried to move back to possibly hide himself but he discovered he couldn't even lift a foot. This is Lily Cruz, she's not dead? Damian Cross felt his heart was beating very fast. He was shivering. Though still having his mouth taped, he knew his lips were shivering like being in a cold harmattan morning. So it wasn't Harold Aaron who was behind his abduction like he thought? Ahhh no wonder the fellow has so much of a confidence to misbehave. He probably had discovered that Lily was still alive a long time ago. Damian Cross stood with his eyes wide opened and stared like a stricken lunatic. Anna Brook suddenly felt a drop of pea in her undies. Her whole body was covered in goosebumps. She was sweating already. Her heart beat almost skipped. Lily was alive? Lily stood and watched their surprised gazes and how it turned into panic

    Justin narrowed his brow and gave her a scrutinizing stare. She is definitely Anna Brook, the lordess friend who was helping her satisfy her husband. She doesn't look like a good person. Why would the lordess never discover her personality? Justin stare was filled with a cold aura that Anna Brook almost shivered, at his gaze. She unconsciously stepped back and held her mother-in-law's hands. The latter was also breathing heavily from the young man's stare. "If I had passed through the securities, would I have been able to hear and record your arguments?And know that you murdered Lily Cruz?"Justin finally answered. But none of the two women could answer him. Standing up abruptly, Justin ordered "Come along willingly or I bundle you like a stack of papers. Make your choice, I don't have time to waste on silly things like you" The two women started moving backwards. Obviously they are thinking how they'll escape. Justin just watched them and gave a wicked grin "Someone come, tie

    A kind of anger rose within her. Why would Damian Cross be laughing when he saw her parents merged into the wind and disappeared? He should be sympathizing with her but he was doing the opposite. Was he happy that her parents had disappeared? But before she could reprimand him for his behaviors, she saw him bring out a dagger and was going to drive it into her throat when she started screaming: "No!, no!!noooo!!!" Then she woke up with a start and saw that Kayden Diego was holding her tightly in his arms. She was sweating profusely and her heart was beating very fast. She was shivering and held Kayden Diego as if she was going to melt into him. "A nightmare again?" Kayden Diego asked. It's really been a long time since she last had this kind of a nightmare. He was now tapping her gently on her back like a little baby that was being coaxed. Lily started crying. She snuggled herself into his chest as if he was going to vanish out of her sight. Cheng Bo cuddled her and allo

    This was exactly what Damian Cross wanted. Seeing Harold Aaron's unpleasant stare, he chuckled "What's in there that you don't understand!" Damian Cross inquired and was obviously happy putting the fellow where he should be, at his call and beckon. "You fired me Damian? I worked with Lily's father and I also worked with boss Lily. None of them had any issues with me but you who just took over the company a few days ago have fired all the old staff and today you did the same to me?" Harold Aaron seethed. Damian Cross felt a little uncomfortable with what Harold Aaron said. If a company was going to make progress, one shouldn't discard the old hands, especially those who knew the in's and outs of the company. And Harold Aaron was like an asset. But his ego would not make him bulge. If Harold Aaron can condescend and beg him he might decide to retain him otherwise, he should go. He'll surely find someone to fill the vacuum. He doesn't want Harold Aaron to feel he was indispensable.

    He froze when he saw her. He blinked several times and pinched himself. He wanted to be sure his wishes had come true. He really was seeing his boss? Lily saw the shock on his face and stepped out completely from behind Kayden Diego. She didn't say anything, just folded her arms behind her. She looked wronged and seemed very unhappy. "Boss Lily!!"Harold Aaron screamed out in joy and went to her, hugging her amidst so much excitement. He was not supposed to hug her, but he was too excited and threw caution to the air. "Let go my woman" Kayden's voice was cold. He won't tolerate it even though he knew Harold Aaron was too excited at seeing Lily Cruz and his happiness had made him hug her out of premonition. But he won't allow it to last beyond a few seconds. Harold Aaron immediately withdrew and bowed apologetically. He passed a glance at Kayden Diego and at Lily before dismissing the questions popping in his head. He would come to that later but now he was happy seeing his bos

    "Harold Aaron!!" He could be more reliable than anyone else. "My assistant. He's more reliable and knows the in's and outs of the Cruz cooperation" Lily said. "Tell me a little about him?" Kayden asked. "Harold Aaron worked with my dad for years. After Damian killed my parents, I took over the company and retained Harold Aaron to be my assistant. He was faithful while being by my father's side and so he was to me too" Lily explained briefly. Kayden was pleased with Lily's analysis. That Harold Aaron might be just who they needed right at that moment. "He will be with us soon," Kayden declared and stood up. He had to inform Justin to pass a message to the bodyguards and assign them their first job. "Do you need his contacts?" Lily asked. At least with his contacts, it would be easier to track him down. Shaking his head, Kayden replied "There's no need" and went out of the door. In the Cruz cooperation, Damian was furiously stamping his feet on the floor. Harold Aaron had dared
