Lily Shawn Chapter 116: Comparing the Two
"So Lily is still using his father's account but will she plot something that evil?" he thought, still hugging Lily."I think, I want to go lie down for a while," Lily said in a dull voice and freed herself from Derrick's embrace and headed for the bed.Derrick stood rooted to the spot and watched Lily as she climbed into bed and curled herself up like a shrimp. He watched her for a while and entered the bathroom to get ready for work. He had dosed off in the car and only entered the house when the sun started coming up. He returned to the bedroom, dressed up for work and exited the bedroom. Lily was still curled up like a shrimp in bed.In the garage, Derrick got into his car and drove out of the compound towards work. His mind remains blank all through the journey. When he arrived at work, it was past 10 a.m. He parked his car in the garage and entered the building. The first person to meet him was Rosy."Hello Mr Mingle," Rosy greeted with a smile."Hello," replied Derrick trying to

Lily's steady breathing made Derrick aware she was fast asleep but he was still unable to sleep. He wished Luis was around at this moment but he was still not back from Mexico. He was handling everything on his own and didn't even know what was happening or how to handle it any more.He carefully got out of bed not waking Lily up and left the bed. It was 3 a.m. He took a quick shower, changed his clothing, and left the bedroom for his study. After working himself up with office work, he was now tired and he fell asleep on his laptop.Knock! Knock! Came the sound on the study room's door. Derrick got up abruptly, his face a little puffy from lack of sleep and the laptop keypad traced to his face. He scanned his environment and remembered he had come to his study. The knock on the door came again, startling him. He composed himself and responded in a deep hoarse voice."Came in," he cleared his throat to sound better and repeated his sentence.One of the servants walked in looking like s

Derry looked at the document in his hand for a long time unable to react. He searched his memory, trying to recall how this could have happened. Unable to find anything he decided to withdraw the case."If I filed this complaint, I could withdraw my charges, right?" Derry inquired."Yes, Mr McClean," Devon replied after hesitating."What is the problem?" Derry questioned noticing his hesitation."That rule does not apply to criminal cases. With a life lost and attempted murder, this is a criminal case," Devon explained."Lyla is still alive," Derry pointed out."Yes, but she was pregnant and now the baby is gone," replied Officer Devon.Derry ran his hand through his hair in frustration. He totally forgot about Lyla's baby."Okay, I will get back to you. In the meantime, do everything you can to make sure Lily is comfortable. If you can, move her to your station. If she must spend the night, I would rather she is at a place I can trust," Derry said expressionlessly."I am not sure abou

Lily had been arrested and put behind bars. Derrick had left to get her food since she had not had anything to eat. An officer was guarding her cell but he got distracted by the music he was listening to and hence did not see something was happening to Lily. Another officer heard Lily scream and he rushed in only to be greeted with a scene where the guarding officer was nodding his head with an earpiece in his eyes and Lily was on the floor motionless."Open the cell immediately," the officer yelled slapping the guarding officer on the shoulder.The guarding officer opened his eyes immediately, removed the earpiece from his ears and noticed Lily lying on the floor in the cell."Open the cell I say," the officer repeated.The guarding officer opened the cell but before he could get to Lily, the other officer whom Derrick asked to look after Lily pushed him aside and knelt beside Lily and checked her pulse."She has a pulse, call the ambulance immediately," the officer ordered the guardi

Mr Mingle lifted his gaze from the newspaper and was shocked to see who was sitting behind his desk. He dropped his newspaper and rubbed his eyes. He opened it and the person was still sitting there. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and opened his eyes and she was right in front of him. He made a yapping sound and jumped."Oh, Mr Mingle, you plot against your son?" she asked."Mrs Mrs Mrs Mingle?" Mr Mingle asked, stammering."In the flesh," she said " Well not really," she added and moved towards the window.Mr Mingle sat on the sofa dumbstruck."I am glad you didn't father Lily," she laughed."You see how Derrick found out about how you killed his childhood friend and made him lose his memory, he will find out all about your evil plans. What belongs to Lily will never be yours, and you will never be the leader of the people," she laughed hysterically and vanished.For 10 minutes, Mr Mingle could not react. He sat on the sofa with his eyes fixated on the place where Mrs Mingle was standi

Back at the hospital, Lily was feeling better. The doctor came to check up on her and informed Derrick she could be taken home. Derrick quickly completed the discharge forms and called Marcus to pick them up straight to his apartment. Lily had only been gone for a day, but it felt like forever for him. Derrick helped her to the room and got her some food. Marcus patiently waited in the living room. Derrick was soon done making Lily comfortable and he joined Marcus in the living room."Sir, there is something I want to tell you," Marcus began."Yes, go ahead, have a seat," Derrick replied pointing to the sofa and he equally sat opposite Marcus.Marcus took a deep breath and stared at Derrick for 10 seconds wondering if he should say it or not. Will he believe him without any evidence was the problem?"What is it?" Derrick inquired sounding exhausted."Sir, yesterday when I got back to the office," Marcus began and paused."Something bad happened at the office?" Derrick inquired sounding

Derrick dialled again and prayed to God to let Derry answer his call. The phone rang for a while, and it was finally answered but Derrick could not hear Derry. There seems to be some sort of radio static interference sound."Hello, Mr McClean, can you hear," Derrick asked as he moved around to see if he could get a better reception for a better voice clarity but that didn't work.Derrick ended the call after a few minutes and shoved the phone back into his pocket."Let's go back to the company," Derrick said to Marcus and they all got into the car.They had met the last company that cancelled their contract outside the office but they could not save that either. Weeks had gone by and the company was nearing bankruptcy. Derrick and Rosy sat in the back seat and Marcus drove them all back to the office.Arriving at the office, Marcus followed Derrick to his cabin, and he called John to join them as instructed by Derrick.Rosy however did not follow them to Derrick's cabin, but she entere

"I need to take care of Lily. It has already been a long day. Get some rest. I will call you," Derrick said and made Marcus head to his home first.Derrick took over and drove back to his apartment. Upon arrival, he went straight to his room to check up on Lily."You are home early today, is everything okay?" Lily asked as soon as Derrick entered the bedroom skipping the welcome home pleasantries.She had just returned to the bedroom from the bathroom"At least welcome me home first and we can talk about the rest after," Derrick complained and moved towards her planting a kiss on her forehead.He held her by the waist and stared at her beautiful face."I am sorry babe. I was just surprised to see you home this early," Lily explained."Let's say I miss you and the reason I left the office to come to see you," Derrick replied with a smile."Yeah right," Lily replied, wriggling herself free from his arms and proceeding to sit on the bed.Derrick removed his jacket and hung it on the coat

Lily Shawn Chapter 181: Grand Celebration
Derrick went silent and lowered his head shocked by the news of his father's death."I was informed yesterday but I knew you were out on a date and I didn't want to spoil your evening with such news," Luis added and Derrick just nodded."I will be returning to Florida, later today. Just let me know if you need anything," Luis said and got up to leave.Derrick got up and escorted Luis to the door without saying anything but just nodding to whatever Luis was saying. He closed the door after Luis had left and out of anger punched the wall so hard, that he got injured in the process. As if he could not feel the pain, he gave the wall another punch. He turned and pressed his back to the wall and sank to the ground.Luis walked to his car and called Isabel."Hello Isabel, are you busy?" he asked."No, what's up?" replied Isabel."Kindly come over to Derrick's place. He is not alright. I just told him about his father," replied Luis."Okay, I will be there in 10 minutes," Isabel replied."Gr

Derrick lowered his head, disappointed. He did not know how to react to the news he had just received. It was his father all along. All the problems he and Lily went through were because of his father. Technically, Lily never had a moment of peace because of him. He recalled what Lily had said about having months of peace since he was out of her life. She was right after all. "When did you find out?" Derrick directed his question to Luis."Err, things become clearer the day you left Florida. I had always had my suspicion though," replied Luis."Why didn't you say something to me?" Derrick queried."Would you have believed me then without the undeniable evidence?" Luis asked advancing towards him.Derrick went silent and Luis patted him on the shoulder."I am truly sorry about your father. I wish he didn't do what he did," Luis consoled and left the two standing there."And you," Derrick said shifting his attention to Isabel who was still standing with him. "Did you ever love me or was

Luis, knowing what was going to happen, had already taken the first flight to Washington to defend Derrick.Arriving at Washington Central police station, Derrick saw on the TV screen what had transpired the night before, while he was in bed hugging Lily's dress. He was shocked to see what was showing on the screen."So that is why he got arrested?" Derrick thought as he was sent to the withholding cell.Derrick knew his father could do the unthinkable like when his father killed his friend and made him lose his memory but that was a long time ago. He thought he had changed."Drug and weapon trafficking?" Derrick thought. "When did he start doing such business?" he continued in his thought. "But why? As the head of Homeland Security, he earned good money, so why would he do this?" he thought. "Or did someone set him up?" he frowned while trying to understand why his father would do such a thing."Lucky you. Your lawyer is already here," came the voice of an officer interrupting Derric

Derry stared at Luis not sure how to react to the information."Does your wife know?" Derry inquired."No," Luis said and turned to face Derry. "When I found Derrick, I sent Isabel to his location to monitor him. Well, I didn't give her so many details aside from telling her I want her to monitor Derrick and report his activities to me and also to keep an eye on his father, Mr Mingle. I had found out the two were living together. Isabel got herself employed in Derrick's new company, Armani or something. Some weird name, I don't know how he comes up with company names. Anyway, Isabel got close to him and he found solace in her. I am not sure what happened. Isabel is very professional in her dealings but she yielded so I let them be," he explained."So Derrick doesn't know," Derry said."No, he doesn't. Isabel is a CID, but now she is in love with Derrick and she will come clean after our operation. She is a strong woman; she can handle rejection if things don't go well," Luis said raisi

Derrick spent some time with his children before leaving for his apartment. He decided to stay around for a while before going back to Washington. Derrick was back in his apartment, he stood in the living room recalling memories of himself and Lily. His eyes shifted to the dining area and he remembered the first time he had cooked for Lily. He recalled all the good times they had together. He went up to the bedroom. He opened the door and the familiar fragrance that used to greet him when Lily was in the room was no longer there. He scanned the room and the dressing table still had Lily's stuff on it. He opened the closet and her clothes were still in there. Neither Lily nor he returned to the apartment after Lily was rushed to the hospital. He removed one of Lily's dresses from the hanger and hugged it. It did carry traces of her scent. He walked to the bed and lay down on the bed hugging Lily's dress feeling regretful. His phone rang interrupting the moment. He searched for it and c

Derry left and Lily turned to face Derrick. There was silence in the room for 10 minutes but it felt like a whole day for Lily. Derrick cleared his throat and got up to sit next to Lily but she stopped him."Please, just sit where you are," Lily said with a straight face and Derrick sat back on his seat."I am sorry about that," Derrick said."Okay. Why do you want to see me?" Lily asked going straight to the point and Derrick exhaled deeply."Lily, I came here to apologize. No matter my explanation it doesn't change the fact that I abandoned you when you needed me most," Derrick began and Lily looked on with a straight face, constantly reminding herself Derry was just in the living room to keep herself calm."So, why did you leave? All I remember was you apologizing," Lily asked and Derrick remembered that day.He had spoken to his father and he left the hospital after. He recalled Lily's state when he left. Derrick narrated their entire life together as a couple and explained he didn

Derry felt Lily needed to know the truth and that would help her make a decision she would not regret. If Derrick's reasons were justified, she could go back to the man she had once loved. She hated him now because she didn't know why he left.He turned to look at Lily, she was asleep but the expression on her face said she was not happy even in her sleep. He got out of bed and went to the washroom and stood under the cold shower. The weather was that cold yet he took a cold shower. He returned to the bedroom to see Derrick had replied indicating he wasn't asleep himself. He sighed and left the bedroom for his study. He dialled Luis's number and he picked up after two rings."Hey men, do you have something against marriage fun?" queried Luis as soon as the call connected."Sorry to disturb you, I just needed someone to talk to," replied Derry sounding sad.Luis looked at Rose who was still sleeping and he went to the balcony."Hey, you don't sound okay, what happened? Is Lily aright?"

Derry joined his third and last meeting for the day. In the meeting, he was a bit distracted. He felt content in his heart, having adopted the children but was still afraid to advance his relationship with Lily, especially now that Derrick was back in Town."Will Lily go back to him?" Derry thought recalling Luis's several warnings."Sir, what do you think of the idea?" asked one of the board members.Derry sat at the head of the table surrounded by 6 board members, 3 on each side of the table. He could see their lips moving and images flashing on the projector screen but nothing they were saying was registering on his mind."Sir, Mr McClean?" the board member sitting closest to him called out to him."Yes," Derry responded snapping out of his thoughts."I just wanted to know what you thought of the idea for the project," the board member who had done the presentation asked again."Send it to my email, I want to go through it again and decide," Derry replied. "Is that the last idea pre

"Perfect," Luis said and Rose looked at him wondering what was on his phone that he was smiling about but he said nothing and continued driving."What is it?" Rose asked curiously."Just work," Luis replied and rubbed her chin with his thumb gently before putting both hands on the steering."Okay," Rose replied and kept her eyes on the road.As soon as they got home, Luis kissed Rose on the cheeks and quickly proceeded to his basement. Rose immediately knew the notification; he received in the car was probably a lead on the investigation. Meaning he had found something on Mr Mingle. She smiled and went to the kitchen to grab a glass of water and after she started preparing some tea for Luis.In the basement, Luis turned on the light and put all his machines on."My babies, Dad needs you to do something really fun for him," Luis said while opening some apps on the machines and waiting for other machines to fully boot.He connected the headset to the machine and put it on.
