Lillian hugged her pillow tight to her chest as she thought of all that happened recently. She just couldn't understand who had wanted to kill him.

Who did he offend that wanted to end his life? And to even think he didn't do anything about it? Or was he?

What if the doctor hadn't arrived earlier, what would have then happened?

She took in a sharp breath, throwing the pillow aside.

"If he isn't going to call the cops, then I'll have to help him do it." She muttered to herself clicking her tongue as she picked up her phone.

"But come to think of it, I don't have any cop's number." She said as she clicked her tongue again.

"I'll call Fred, he might have one." She said again dialling her brother's number.

He picked up at the second ring.

"Hey, little sis." He said.

"Where the heck are you? it's so noisy over there." She said in a little scoff.

"I'm sorry, I'll step out in a sec." Fred said. There was silence for some seconds before he spoke up again.

"I'm out now, so what's up?" He said

    "I hope you know this would be your last visit here." Don stated as he glanced at the doctor."Yeah. You're fine now, so there'll be no need to come here again." The doctor said in a light smile."Please, where is your wife, Mrs Dean? I haven't seen her around since I came here." The doctor said again, this time with a nervous smile. He has been the Dean's doctor for years and Don's associate but he still wasn't free around him yet."You're here as a doctor and not as her welfare guardian, so focus on your job." Don replied with a hostile glare. "I'm,, I'm sorry. Please, pardon me." The doctor apologized Immediately in a stutter. He has always avoided anything that would get him pissed off."Are you done?" Don asked grumpily. He was already getting impatient with the doctor's unending checkup."I'm almost........." Someone barged in with force. They both turned to see who and they saw an angry Bella. "Leave us alone, doctor." She said staring daggers at her brother. The doctor lef

    "Shhhh, it's alright. You would be fine." Bella cooed, rubbing Lillian's hair and at the same time trying to calm her down. They remained like that for minutes before Bella finally released her from the hug."Have you eaten?" She asked with her tone sounding worried."Yeah." Lillian muttered in a small nod.She was no longer crying heavily like before, all thanks to Bella.Bella eye searched for any injury on her body, she let out a long sigh of frustration after seeing a few on her knee."He did this to you, right?" She asked fixing her gaze on the area of the injury. She exhaled sharply when she didn't reply."Honestly, I'm sorry about all these and I will do my very best to make all these pass." Bella said staring at her in pity."As long as you don't know anything about how he got shot." She quickly added and Lillian nodded quietly."Now, wipe your tears." She said again and brought out an handkerchief. She tried to help her wipe off the traces of tears on her face but Lillian w

    A lady walked secretly into the maid's quarters. She made sure to confirm she wasn't being followed before closing the door behind her quietly.She was a maid who worked in the mansion.She brought out her phone and shakily dialed on the number. The call rang to the end without anyone answering it. She tried it the second time and this time, the call was answered."What the heck is your problem! Why are you disturbing my peace for goodness sake!" The receiver said sounding pissed from the other side."I'm sorry ma'am but there's a problem." The maid said lowly."What is it? I hope it isn't about what we talked about the last time." The receiver said with the voice harsher than before."It's about it, ma'am." The maid breathed out glancing behind her just to make sure she was safe."What is it all about then?" "She has been released from cell. " The maid announced and the lady at the other side gasped in shock."How the hell did you let that happen!" She yelled."It wasn't my fault, m

    Don stood in front of the mirror as he did the last button on his shirt. He put on his jacket and used his cologne.He fixed the wristwatch on his wrist and wore his boot before he finally left the room.Rex and Draco, who were already waiting for him followed behind immediately. They made their way down the stairs and entered the living room. Don halted his footsteps pretty damn quick when he saw Lillian already in the living room waiting for him.She stood up when she felt his presence behind her and turned around to him. She was wearing a turkey velvet red belted gown and golden heels with a golden clutch to match. His eyes scrutinized her carefully and it made her so uncomfortable. She coughed lightly as he finally got out of his reverie. She heaved a sigh when he walked past her without saying a wordShe followed him and they all got into the car after the guards opened the door for the both of them. She faced the window all through, staring at the outside on their way. She w

    The car drove into the compound and parked, then the occupants alighted from it, with Don alighting first.Lillian also alighted with smiles all over her and one could easily detect she was happy. Don went straight inside while the guards walked to the back of the house. Lillian stood rooted to the ground as she stared at his retreating figure in smiles. Who knew he could be that kind to treat her out for dinner?"Hey!" Bella said from behind startling her. She turned to her immediately as she heaved a sigh of relief."Why are you still standing here smiling all by yourself?" Bella asked in a mischievous smile."Nothing, I was just about to go inside when you startled me." Lillian replied immediately, standing upright."What?? I was just about to head inside." She said again hoping to ease Bella's curiosity but with the looks she got from her, she was sure she wasn't satisfied yet."Okay then let's go inside." Bella stated as she grabbed her wrist and they both headed inside to Lill

    Don opened his eyes gently as he protected it against the sun. He sat up, checking for Eva beside him on the bed but she was no where to be found. He breathed out softly as he turned to the other side and see a neatly folded paper under the nightstand on the cabinet. He took it out, unfolding it as he read it.He sighed again as he squeezed it, tossing it aside. He dropped his legs to the cold floor, just then the door opened and Rex came in."Good morning boss." He greeted in a bow but Don didn't reply.He stood up, walking towards his dressing table, he paused when his eyes met with some papers on the table. He took it up as he opened it, studying them quietly.Rex glanced at him and said, "We found those with the real culprit behind your attack and.......""Who is responsible?" Don cuts in coldly as he stared at the papers in his hand with a deep frown."A maid." Rex replied fixing his gaze to the floor."Where is she now?" Don asked flinging the papers back to the table in annoya

    The maid rolled the box to the booth of the car as she stuck it there, closing it back. She bowed and walked past Don who was stepping out of the house and towards the car.Lillian also came out of the house, walking hurriedly after him . He paused in his steps and turned to her. He etched his eyebrows in confusion when he saw her all dressed up with a box and her purse hung improperly on her shoulder which was due to how hastily she walked."Thank goodness you stopped walking." She breathed out as she stood in front of him."Why did you try to ignore me even after knowing I was after you?" She asked lifting her gaze to him."What are you doing?" He said in a scoff staring intently at her with a slight frown."I heard you were going on a trip and I decided to tag along." She replied simply, not minding his deep gaze on her. "I want to drop my luggage in the booth, so please excuse me." She said again as she strolled past him to the booth. "I just asked what you're doing." Don said

    Lillian watched from the window as the plane landed gracefully on the ground. She unbuckled her seat belt, stylishly waiting for Don to leave the plane first and he did as she followed behind him.Well, the plane was a private one which actually belonged to Don making them the only passengers in it.The air hostess brought out their luggage, taking it to one of the cars that was already waiting for them."Go with that car." Don stated simply, heading towards the other car with Draco while Rex stayed behind. Lillian stood rooted to the ground as she etched her eyebrows at him in confusion."Does he really have to prove that he is a jerk?" Lillian muttered glaring at the car that he had just gone with."Couldn't we have just gone with the same car like the other days?" She muttered again, still glaring at the route the car had taken."Can we go now, ma'am?" Rex asked carefully enough not to sound rude.Lillian turned to him in a soft sigh as she began to stare around."Rex?" She called

    The two siblings paced to and fro in the waiting room. Their expression held nothing but anxiety as they prayed silently in their hearts for everything to go well.Lillian's mother wasn't excluded. She was called to the hospital immediately Bella and her brother, Don, suspected that Lillian was in labor. Luckily, Mrs. Blake was around the area at that time, so she followed them to the hospital.It had been over an hour since Lillian was taken into the delivery room, and there's been no news from the doctors in charge.This continued for a few minutes until they all sighted the doctor heading their way, and they rushed to him immediately.“Congratulations. She has given birth to a bouncing baby boy.” The doctor voiced out immediately with a light smile.Their once worried look brightened instantly with smiles lingering on their lips.Finally, Bella spoke out with so much enthusiasm, “Can we see them now?”“Of course, you can see them. Come with me.”They all followed the doctor to Lill

    “Ughh, how tasteless can this be?” Lillian chimed in a loud voice that caught everyone's attention.All eyes were shot at her, with only Bella's having the courage to remain on her, unlike the maids who immediately continued what they were doing.Bella's gaze instantly raised a question when she glanced up from her phone.“These are no fun to take! It's really tasteless.” Lillian continued to whine and this time, she tossed the berry in her hand back to the rest in the tray.“Do you want us to get you another fruits?” One of the maids stood in an upright position and asked.They were all new maids. After what happened to Aurora, the maid who committed suicide and Mara, Don replaced the maids and, this time, with a much stricter rule. Lillian shook her head, thereby urging the maid to go back to her previous duty.This was mostly all what Lillian does to the food and even fruits she eats since she became pregnant. It was either disgusting or tasteless like earlier. Things even got wo

    Bella got a hint of the situation immediately her mood changed, and no words came from her. She heaved a sigh but didn't say a word either.Just then, the door opened, revealing Don. He walked a few steps into the room and paused to stare at Lillian.The family shot him a glance, then back at Lillian. They also got a hint of the situation and guessed they obviously needed some privacy together.“Now that your husband is here, we'll leave you two to talk.” Mrs. Blake said and glanced at the others, and they all nodded.They left the ward as agreed, but that didn't change the aura in the ward. Don and Lillian still maintained their silence as different thoughts ran through their heads.But there was something strange about Don's demeanor. His expression wasn't unreadable as it used to be. This time, she could bet she was able to read some emotions out from his facial expression.One of them was anger, but who was he angry at? Lillian shivered at the thought of him getting angry at the f

    A devilish smile didn't fail to crawl to his face as he attempted to pull the trigger, but all of a sudden, all the armed men in the place pointed their guns towards him, shocking everyone except Don and his personal guards.“You should also get one thing straight, no one escapes my wrath when they look for it.” Don finally voiced out with a dangerous smirk.Rex and Draco were also freed, and they joined the multitude of boys to pointing guns at Pablo. Pablo, whose face was now filled with confusion and shock, gently dropped his hand by his side.“Do you really think that you were the only one with the plans here?” Don's mind flashed back to how he replaced the men that were meant to support Pablo with his.It wasn't an easy thing to do but it was still worth it, especially since it had to with getting Pablo away from Lillian's life forever."What is happening now?" Pablo glanced around him, his mind trying not to accept that he was already outsmarted.This wasn't what he had planned.

    Don tucked his gun into his pants as he glared at the men on the ground, some were unconscious while a few were groaning in extreme pain. He didn't waste any more seconds before he left the area.Pablo was actually more prepared, considering the number of guards he had secretly placed in the building. Fortunately, Don and his personal guards were well-trained enough to take them all down. Although, they wouldn't stop trooping into the building, more like they already knew of the intruders.As Don ran up the stairs, he was more vigilant than ever. The occurrence from earlier should never happen again, especially since he had only a limited time.Yes! He was already informed by Sir. Jeffrey about the short time they had to rescue Lillian. He would rather not waste a second out of it even though, three minutes had passed already.He halted when he got to a hallway leading to different rooms. Opening one of the rooms, he concluded he wouldn't be able to make it if he searched through them

    Bella stood, glaring at the man in front of her, that if not for just a good reason, she would have strangled him to death right there.After so many days of searching and trying to find him, he was finally found. But then, it was so unfortunate that nothing could be done to him at the moment.“I think you can stop glaring now, else your eyes might pop out any moment.” Mark finally said, not able to endure the harsh gazes he was receiving from Bella.He was roughly tied in a piece on the cold floor, that it was so difficult to even move a body part. Though, he was already in that state before Bella and her brother arrived.“I don't mind, as long as you go down first. And don't think you're doing us a favor here because you're one of the reasons all this is happening.” The hostile glare didn't leave Bella's face as she spat out her anger.“That stupid brother of yours had better f**king bring Lillian back.” Mark retorted with so much loathe behind his voice.Even though Bella's anger k

    “Boss, as we speak, they're after me and......” Mara glanced at the men running after her and she mumbled, “F*ck!”They were so close to her that in a few seconds they could catch up with her. F*ck herself for making the injuries on her look so real. Now, she couldn't even run properly with all the injuries she inflicted on herself.The men, who happened to be Don's guards, split into two groups as one group out took Mara and blocked her from running further.Figuring there was no other way out as the guards already circled her with their guns pointing directly at her, Mara halted and without a second warning, threw her phone into the nearby river.All the guards were shocked, realizing what she just did, but none of them bulged to retrieve the phone. As long as they caught Mara first, they're sure to get all the information they wanted, including the reason she shot Eva.“Hello? Mara!” The line had already disconnected, but Pablo didn't realize it until there was no more sound from th

Whatever name she goes by, whether Lillian Blake or Killian Black, I just want one thing, and that is to get rid of her while she is still new.”“So?”“So, I want you to do something, and it's slightly simple, though dangerous.”“Danger is literally my other name, but first, what do I get in return?”“Whatever you ask for. Hold on…. What are you staring at? You want my body?”“You got it, babe.”“Just do what I want, and you'll have all you ask for.” The recording paused and that was Eva lifted her head, her mouth, and eyes wide open in shock. She glanced at the person whom she would rather die than have to listen to the recording at the moment and felt her life was over.Listening to the conversation she had with Klaus some months back made her whole world crumble.

    “We searched the CCTV footage for the supposed area and, as expected, it's been altered. It only showed the part where the Lady and maid stepped out to check the unconscious guards in another car, the rest of what took place wasn't found.” “It was also known that the security guards there were all unconscious at the said time, which means….”“Which means that this person really knows what he is doing. But who could he be? Or could it be......” Bella cut Draco short as her mind drifted to Mark, but strangely, she doubted if he had such authority or resources.“I doubt if he was. Even if he was behind it, I believe he had back up, someone with a similar goal compared to his.” Don also thought of Mark, but being in this game for long, he understood that not just anyone had the power to pull such strings.Nobody said anything for a while, and this gave Draco the opportunity to speak again.“We've sent messages across to all of our connections in the country, but there hasn't been news ye
