Lillian walked into the kitchen and straight to the refrigerator as she took a bottle of water and a glass. The surrounding maids bowed in respect, and she just waved them off, strolling freely out of the kitchen when she was done.To say she was just bored, would be an understatement. Yet, she still couldn't find the perfect word to describe how bored she was. There was no one else in the house except for she and the maids, well, that was what she knew.From what she knew, everyone had gone on the mission, but she also wondered if Don had gone with them. “Argh.” She shrieked out, suddenly bumping into someone.Her eyes shut close as she expected to be rolling off the stairs and landing on the ground in a pool of blood or a broken body, but fortunately, she wasn't. Instead, she felt her body bent and pushed into a hard but satisfying surface.She tried to sneak a peek and her two eyes flew open in shock immediately. She tried to say a word, but her voice failed her.Don was holding h
Lillian walked towards the door before walking back to the bed. One of her hands was placed on her waist and the other was on her chest as she paced to and fro in her room. She has been like this for since like God knows when, looking all scared and worried.After what transpired between her and Eva earlier, she had rushed downstairs to meet some boys who helped to take Eva to the hospital, luckily for her.She had to stay back because, according to them, they could take care of things and she was grateful. She couldn't imagine being guilty all through, even though she was feeling guilty, but it would have been much worse.But thinking about it again, it changed little or nothing whatsoever. Another question found its way into her thought, and she wondered what could have been happening by then.Has the doctor attended to her yet? Was she feeling alright already? Why was she bleeding and screaming at the same time? Lillian suddenly stopped pacing as realization struck her like thund
Lillian gulped down hard with her eyes lingering on the ground. She exhaled sharply before lifting her gaze slightly.She coughed out lightly and exhaled again due to the smoke from the cigarette stick that had filled the air.“She started everything first.” She managed to say, also trying not to meet his keen gaze on her. Breathing in was beginning to get difficult for her, but she didn't bother to complain, especially not in the mood she met him.“What?” He asked with a grim look after a while as he dumped the cigarette stick into the ashtray.“After our little encounter........” She stuttered out but trailed off, trying to look for a suitable word to describe their encounter in the hallway.“She attacked me and I couldn't take it any longer, so I retaliated.” She continued in explanation and heaved a sigh.“Was that why you tried to terminate her pregnancy?” He questioned sternly.Lillian was forced to stare in his direction and their gaze met but his was more intense. This was j
“Can I open my eyes now?” “Not yet.” Bella mumbled, focused on Lillian's face as she brushed up her eyelids.Lillian heaved a sigh with her eyes shut. She had been like this for minutes, but it seemed like hours to her, sitting in front of the mirror, unaware of what Bella was doing to her face.They wouldn't have been like this if only Bella hadn't dragged her out of her room into where they were now, which was in Bella's room.“Ugh, what's taking you so long? Not like it's my wedding day or something.” She whined with a small pout.“Just give me a few seconds, I'll be done before you know it.” Bella muttered, doing a retouch with a setting powder.“And I'm done.” She heaved with a smile and stepped away from her.Lillian slowly opened her eyes and her face came into view in the mirror immediately. She let out a bright smile, seeing all the sitting down was not in vain.The makeup was not bad at all. It was a clear definition of what she actually wanted, the not so heavy type of mak
“Gather all the information as soon as possible and keep me updated.” Don uttered, his face as hard as a rock, before he hung up.“Boss, she said she'll be here shortly.” Draco reported immediately, Don took his phone away from his ear.“What the hell is she doing? She should get her ass down here, we're running late.” Bella voiced out to no one in particular, feeling irksome.“Where is your friend?” Don asked, ignoring her outburst.“By my friend, you mean your wife?” Bella asked with her eyebrows raised.“She is supposed to be with you, but she isn't here either.” He pointed out with a blank expression.“She will join us soon.” Bella replied.Just then, Eva walked out of the house and made her way towards them with a smile on her face.“Hey babe, I'm sorry if I kept you waiting.” She apologized and gave Don a side hug when she got to him.Bella let out a scoff as she rolled her eyes and left them.“You're here.” She said more like a question upon sighting Lillian walk towards her.“
“She is.........” Bella was cut in on by some ladies who came to join them.“Hey ladies.” A red haired lady chimed in with a bright smile on her face.They were two other ladies with her, but they stood behind her while she sat down on one of the chairs.“Diana!” Bella called out, sipping her drink.“Hey!” Diana replied with a wave.“I'm Diana and you must be Lillian.” Diana turned to Lillian to say.“You know my name?” Lillian asked, her eyes widened a little in disbelief.“Of course. You're Don's little bride, so it's only normal for you to be known around.” Diana shrugged like it was no big deal, leaving Lillian dumbstruck.“Diana.........” Bella tried to say, but she was interrupted by Diana.“Why aren't you with your husband, though?”“Yeah, you're here while your husband's girlfriend rocks him on a seat.” Another lady chipped in.Lillian wasn't surprised, probably the reason she couldn't find either of them.'She was used to it.' She almost blurted out but managed to hold it wit
Lillian stood rooted in her position as her eyes widened in dismay. Her body shook a little when he wrapped his hand around her.“What the heck?” She half yelled, pushing him away from her.Drake widened his eyes, also realizing what he had just done. This was his boss's wife!“What do you think you are doing?” She shrieked in terror.“Goodness! I'm sorry.” He muttered, blinking rapidly. “How could you? You just took my first ….” She couldn't complete her statement because of the tears that were threatening to fall.She blinked the tears back and wiped the drops that escaped. “I'm sorry.” Drake apologized, realizing he had just committed a huge offense. Never had he thought she had never kissed before, else he wouldn't have even thought of moving an inch this close to her, then all this wouldn't have happened.“I'm deeply sorry.” He uttered again and took some steps backward.She shut her eyes and sucked her breath in sharply before opening her eyes again, ready to lash out on him.
Lillian opened her eyes slowly to the rays of the sun as a smile appeared on her face. She stretched out a little on the bed before trying to go back to sleep.Last night was so good for her, staying in the same place with Don, and he didn't act grumpy towards her, it made her smile even more.Even though, they just had a few chat, standing by his side alone still meant something to her.Her eyes opened again, and she sucked in her breath, rising from the bed. She rested on the headboard, hugging the pillow to her chest, still with the smiling face.There was a knock on the door, diverting her attention, and she glanced at it. The knock came again, and this time, she crawled out of the bed.“Hold on, I'm coming.” She blurted when the knock came yet again.She got to the door, twisted it open, and a sigh left her when she saw a maid. The maid bowed as she saw her.“Good morning ma'am. Breakfast is ready.”“Okay, I will be down in a few minutes.”The maid nodded and turned to go.“Umm,
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
“I want to get rid of that so-called wife of his, I don't think I can stand her even though we're just knowing each other. That b**ch is beginning to step on my toes.” “She has a name.”“Do I look like I f**king care? 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. Ju
“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
