Lillian found her way down the stairs and met the same lady from last night on the staircase."Hey! Was just about coming to your room to call you for breakfast but now that you're here, come on." Bella stated turning back to the dinning room after sighting Lillian.Lillian followed behind her and sat at the dinning chair she pointed to. She waited patiently as the maids served her food and started eating almost immediately she was given the food. She was so famished at that moment.Bella noticed this and chuckled lightly."I'm sorry." Bella looked up at her with a puzzled look."For my action last night. I was kind of cold and harsh towards you and I sincerely apologise for that. That isn't truly who I was. I was just .........." Lillian sighed and stared at her face to see her reaction but Bella just kept a straight face."I'm sorry and I hope we could start all over again." She completed in another sigh, this time in relief."Weren't you the same person acting arrogant last night?"
DON'S BUSINESS HOUSE*Don entered into the house with his personal guards and all the boys that were waiting for him stood up immediately and greeted."Good morning boss." They all chorused as Don went to sit on his special chair."Good morning Don." Mr Martin who was also waiting for his arrival greeted when he sat down.Don signalled his boys to leave them and they all left except his personal guards."Say whatever you have to say." Don gave the go ahead."What we discussed on the phone, I came to be sure cause I don't want to have false hopes on it." Mr Martin clarified and Don scoffed."What is there to be sure about? We had an agreement already." He answered lowly."I know but can your boys handle it? You know I don't want to mess this up." Mr Martin said earning a glare from Don."If you find them incompetent Martin, then you are free to walk out of that door." Don said with a cold expression."Oh! no no. I just wanted to be sure they were capable of doing this, please don't be
"Followed?? by who?" Bella took a glance at Lillian who was now freaking out and took a deep breath."I don't know who it is." Bella replied as she increased the speed."Please reduce the speed already, I don't want to die now." Lillian cried out in fear."Just let me concentrate Lillian." Bella said almost in a yell.The car behind them also increased their speed trying to overcome Bella and soon they did. They stopped right in front Bella's car making her halt immediately.The people in the other car got down and began taking strides towards Bella's car. Lillian couldn't help but to tremble in fear as they approached them but Bella started the engine of her car again and made a quick reverse They also got into their car, following Bella almost immediately.Bella drove into a lonely narrow road with great speed and the people in the other car who could
Bella opened the door and saw Lillian on the bed. She looked a little scared as she hugged her knees to her chest. Bella sighed and completely went in, trying to go close to her on the bed."Don't come any closer." Lillian said glancing at her and she halted in her steps."Just stay away from me." Lillian stated again."Lillian, we can talk this through." Bella said softly."Get out." Lillian said almost inaudibly."Listen to me, I can explain." Bella said, taking few steps closer to her on the bed."What do you want to explain? That you're a murderer and might harm me if its need arises?" Lillian enquired with her voice quivering a little as she recalled the scene where she'd dealt with those guys."Don't talk like that, I'm not a murderer. I only did what I did to protect us, you and me.""They would have kidn
Lillian hummed her favorite song as she prepared bacon and eggs for breakfast. She didn't know why, but she woke up early this morning feeling happy and energized and she decided to make breakfast for the family.She added seasoning to the eggs in the pan and reduced the heat of the cooker. She tried to pack up the items she had used but Aurora, the only maid left in the kitchen stopped her. Lillian had asked all the maids out but Aurora insisted to stay, so she just left her"Let me help you with that ma'am." Aurora said in a smile."Thank you." Lillian replied as she returned the smile and Aurora took it up from her."When you're done, could you help me make the tea?" Lillian asked turning to face her."Sure ma'am." Aurora replied in a little nod.Lillian turned off the cooker as she served the bacon and eggs in three different plates. She garni
Eva opened the car door, got in and slammed it back as it made a loud noise in the process."So much for giving you fifteen minutes." Bella said, ignoring what she had just done as she glared at her."Why did you call me here?" Eva asked ignoring her statement and Bella rolled her eyes."Whatever it is, must be good." She said again."Must you always prove that you're a bitch?" Bella asked with a little frown."Go straight to the point Bella." Eva said exasperated as she glared harshly at her.Bella took in a deep breath with a closed eyes as she prepared herself for what she was about to say."Anyways, I called you here for a very good reason and that is to settle the differences between us." Bella explained but Eva remained silent."I want us to be friends." She blurted out."Are you drunk
Fred dropped the phone and sighed. He put the phone back in his trouser pocket and opened the door, heading downstairs. He met his father in the sitting room looking so unhappy and he guessed he has already heard."What's this news I'm hearing?""And what is that?" Fred said as he feigned a puzzled look."You mean you don't know the company has lost over $100, 000, 000?!" His Dad said furiously and Fred bowed his head."The investors are all threatening to back off from the project if it is not been handled urgently!" He continued to rant out in anger."Dad, I would try to fix this in all possible ways that I can." Fred assured in a sigh."Oh! So, you knew about it yet, you acted like you knew nothing?" His Dad said glaring hard at him as he reduced his tone but it was only for a while."Huh? Answer me!" He fired at him.&nbs
A motorcycle has been secretly following Lillian's car. He saw what the guard did and became slightly confused when the car was still moving.Shouldn't she stop the car? Or does she know her way around?He heard a short scream from the car and concluded there was trouble. Immediately, he brought out a chip and threw it to the body of the car. He brought out his phone and typed on the few bottons, stopping the car shortly.He stopped his motorcycle as he alighted and walked to the car. There, he met an unconscious Lillian. He removed the chip and got into the driver's seat. He ignited the engine, revising carefully before turning back and then he drove out of the place, leaving his motorcycle behind.*****************"When will you be going to inspect the incoming goods?" Don asked as he poured in vodka to his cup."Is it the one in Italy?" Bella asked unsure, checking out her fingers."Yeah. You have to check and carefully prepare it before it comes down to Los Angeles." Don said imb
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
