Larry Jones produced his ID card and showed her. Lily felt a little relieved and then reluctantly followed him. As a matter of fact, she was eager to go with him as she's really hungry.

They got into the car and the chauffeur drove off. Larry Jones instructed the chauffeur to drive to one of the best restaurants in town.

Lily sat at the other end from Larry Jones. 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.

Larry Jones occasionally turned to glance at Lily briefly and look away. What had made Lily like this? What kind of misfortune had she met that

    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. How can she keep someone else's limitless card when she's not his girlfriend. What is her qualifications to have it in her possession. She was really getting infuriated. Kayden Diego glared at her with pure contempt and disdain " You are not qualified to be my g

    "You saw her left and didn't inform the securities nor any of the bodyguards? If anything happens to Lily, I'll have your blood and that of your entire family flowing!!" Kayden Diego threatened. "Ah..ha please President Diego! Please spare me"the old man fell on his knees. Cold shiver ran through the spine of all the people present. They all were in great danger if anything happens to the young Miss. Without a glance, he walked briskly out of their sight into the mansion. As Soon as he walked in, he scanned the room quickly and saw Ms Gracey at the corner with a puffy eyes. Justin followed him to give him the latest findings when he saw him staring at his aunt angrily. "Don't think because you are my mum's sister you can defy my orders and go against my instructions. Didn't I tell you to make her comfortable and keep her company?" Kayden asked furiously. "I did Kayden. I followed all your instructions and you can ask her if ever I made her uncomfortable" Ms Gracey defended h

    "I am afraid that might be close to it" she answered. She's not certain but she felt her guess might be true. Kayden was exhibiting traits of a protective mate. How else can one explain why he would risk it going to find her all by himself in his wolf form. They couldn't follow him because it wasn't the full moon and they can't shift into wolf form and back to human at ease especially when not in the face of danger. He could easily do that because he's a lycan. "I am afraid she's his mate. But looks like he wasn't ready to accept the fact" Justin voiced out his thoughts. He had witnessed how he carried her princessly from the party and used his thigh as her pillow. How he kept throwing glances at her while she was sleeping. But what baffled him was why he spoke rudely or angrily at her according to what Ms Gracey said. They waited until they perceived his presence. He soon jumped into Lily's room through the open window. He saw Justin and Ms Gracey waiting in the room and kne

    Larry Jones felt like he was going to go insane. He checked the surveillance camera and there was no movement of Lily. He became confused. Was he dreaming and thought he really saw Lily? If he was dreaming, are all the servants in his house dreamers as well? Lily was a ghost!! That's his final decision. She was indeed dead no wonder she called herself a wonderer. She was a wondering soul. Oh so unfortunate of him that he had taken a ghost to a restaurant and even brought her to his house. Perhaps that's why she claimed to have lost her memory! Oh he understands now. She doesn't know anything about her life when she was still human that's why she couldn't return to the Cruz's family house to rest there. He called the servants and told them that the woman he brought home the previous day was a ghost and no body should enter that room anymore. The ghost was living there. He told them he would be staying in the hotel for the time being. The servants started giving excuses. They a

    "Are we leaving already?"Lily asked. She has to at least pack a few things into a suitcase and possibly he would have to book their flight. Kayden Diego chuckled. She's surprised. "Yeah we are leaving if you are ready". When Lily wanted to ask him if they were going to pack any suitcase along he answered her thoughts. Told her they needed no such thing. Lily, satisfying her curiosity, told him she was ready. Kayden Diego held her hand and took her to an inner private room attached to his study. Surprised but made no complaints, Lily simply followed. The room was dark but Kayden stepped in, pulling Lily along. When they got in, the door shut on them and Kayden held Lily close to himself, that they could perceive each other's heartbeat. Suddenly Lily felt dizzy and fell into unconsciousness. She opened her eyes again at Kayden Diego's tucking. She looked and found they were in a similar room but this one was sparklingly bright. Kayden still held her close and her hand was sti

    Envy stood with her back to him. She folded her arms and was sniffing. Kayden Diego narrowed his brow and asked "what's the matter with you? Why, have you been crying?" "Yes, I've been crying. Someone so dear to me made me cry" Envy replied. Obviously feeling offended. "Someone so dear to you made you cry? Who is the person?"Kayden asked. Envy is like a sister to him. He had never seen her cry before nor feeling so offended. He would go even with anyone who made her cry so much. She turned slowly and faced the serious expressionless face of Kayden Diego. "It's you lord Diego. It's you who has been making me cry" Envy accused him. Alarmed, Kayden Diego stood up and went to her. Holding her hands, "I made you cry? How?". "How can you prefer a hybrid to me? I've waited to be your Mate for years, I refuse to accept any other one. I was desperately waiting, trying to make you see I was yours but you pretended not to see and returned one day with half human mate!!" Envy started so

    "I don't know much about her"Kayden Diego answered flippantly but truely. Besides the name, Kayden doesn't know anything else about Lily. He has tried investigating but seemed she doesn't belong to Z-country otherwise he would have gotten answers. But when he gets back to the human world, he would investigate from the other neighbouring countries. "You don't know much and yet you saved her, accommodate her under your roof, tried to resist her until your will succumbed and found her your mate right? You fell in love with her and seemed as if you can't do without her?" Wise one asked with his eyes still closed. Kayden Diego squinted. The wise one was accurate about what he said. He threw a glance at Justin and their eyes met. "You are right wise one" he affirmed. "Did you ever see her looks when she has nightmares?" Wise one asked. "No, we don't share a room, so there's no way I would have seen her" Kayden replied. If there's something he wants to say, he should just say it not

    Lily blinked. Kayden Diego was right, she had made that Promise. But getting married now implies that even when she recovers her memory, she can't go back or back out of the union. She would like to know who she truly was before accepting her life with Kayden. "I did promised so. But I haven't recovered my memory yet. I would be..."she trailed off when Kayden held her in a warm embrace. He felt his body heated up and slightly refrain a little. "Lily I love you" Kayden confessed and suddenly pulled her and started kissing her. When he released her lips he gave the final verdict "the wedding holds the day after tomorrow. But henceforth, mother will take you to her quarters until the wedding venue, you aren't going to see me. Ok?" Lily gave a nod. "I love you". "I love you too" they both profess their love and Kayden stood up just as the Royal mother came in. "Mother" Lily greeted standing on her feet. Kayden went away leaving the mother and daughter in-law pair. "Lily my daugh

    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. She would retur

    "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
