Lily Shawn Chapter 122: True Colours
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

Lyla was sitting behind the desk recalling everything she had done to get Derrick's position and his company. She sabotaged Derrick's company to take it away from him. The crisis was created by her. She visited most of the companies with whom they had signed contracts and convinced them to cancel their contract, offering them a better deal as CEO. Thinking about it, she realizes Derrick had given up the company so easily. She had expected at least a fight, but it was like he already wanted to give it away. She had put the company back on track by offering four times the initial amount Derrick offered as the CEO to the partnered companies. She now needed to work four times harder to put the money back else the company was as good as bankrupt. She has just started the paperwork to resume the projects and these headlines came up."Derrick, son of a bitch," she muttered under her breath.Marcus and John resigned from their position upon Derrick's exit, so Rosy had to put an ad up to get

Derrick was left speechless after listening to the servant. He quickly searched his pocket for his phone and he realized he didn't have it on him. He figured he may have left it in the car. He gave his car keys to the servant to fetch him his phone from the car and went ahead to ask her which ward Lily was in."Not sure, I have not been told anything," Replied the servant."Fine, just get me my phone," Derrick said and proceeded to the reception to ask about Lily.He had a baseball cap covering half of his face. The nurse looked at the strange man standing in front of her with half of his face covered. She thought he looked familiar though but could not tell who exactly he was."Ms Lily Shawn," Derrick said her name."Are you a relative?" asked the nurse."Yes," came Derrick's deep voice. "I am her fiancé," he added."Private ward three. It's upstairs, on the 2nd floor," the nurse informed him."Thanks," replied Derrick and he checked to see if the servant was back with his phone.As h

David set up a meeting for Derry to meet the expert he was bringing on board to help with the case. The expert happens to be Luis.They all sat down behind the round table, and they started the conversation. With Derry's clearance, David now gave Luis the full details of the case."So, Lyla was involved in an accident. We started an investigation to find out if it was just a random accident or if it was planned," David began and Derry and Luis just stared at him."It was planned?" Luis interrupted, trying to get to the whole details faster than David was slowly revealing.It was like David was telling a story and Luis didn't have that time."Yes, but I was surprised by what I found out when I dug further," David said and paused awaiting a surprised look reaction from the two gentlemen, but Luis and Derry just looked at him with no reaction."Well, multiple accounts were used in transferring the payment to the person who was tasked to do the job. Guess who owns the main account?" David

Luis was back in town after David, Derry's private investigator engaged him on a case. Derry, David and Luis met and discussed the case further. Luis tried to reach out to Derrick and Lily but found out Lily was in the hospital. Upon arrival at the hospital, he could not find Derrick and he found that strange. He dialled Marcus's number and waited for him to pick up since Derrick was not at home either so he could confirm the whereabouts of Derrick."Hello Marcus, how are you?" Luis greeted when Marcus answered the call after two rings."Hello, I am good. How are you doing?" Marcus replied."Good, do you know where I can find Derrick, he is not at home?" Luis inquired."Last I spoke with him, he said he was going home. He might probably be home now," replied Marcus."How long ago did you speak with him?" Luis questioned."Arh, that was like three hours ago," Marcus replied."Okay, thanks, Marcus. I will go to his apartment then," Luis said, and the call ended.Luis stood at the entranc

Lily soon realized she heard right in her sleep; Derrick had left her. Her heart was broken for being dumped at her worst moment and she quickly went into depression.It was 6 in the morning when Luis opened his eyes, still lying on the bed. He turned to look at Rose who was still sleeping with her head on his shoulder. He smiled and kissed the top of her head before quietly getting out of bed. He went to the washroom and got himself ready for the day. He stepped out of the washroom, opened the wardrobe, and picked up a pair of black trousers, a black shirt, and a grey blazer.He quickly put them on. He picked a comb and styled his hair. When he was done, he stood in front of the mirror and admired himself."The best way to do this is to let someone else admire you," came Rose's voice making Luis turn to look at her.Rose was awake and was still lying in bed admiring Luis resting her hand on her hand while supporting her weight on elbow. Luis smiled and walked to the bed, placing both

Luis and Rose glanced at each other very sad after reading what Lily had written inside the tray. Rose's eyes were quickly filled with tears which she struggled to hold back. Luis hugged her to console her."Derrick, how could you do this to Lily?" Luis thought "If you don't love her anymore, you don't care about your baby?" he thought while hugging Rose and staring at Lily at the same time.Luis's heart was equally in pain but he fought back his tears so he could console Rose. The nurse cleaned the food tray and pushed it back. Lily was given a sedative to make her sleep after the IV was fixed with a new cannula.The servant arrived a few minutes after with food. She placed the food on the table and sat on the chair beside Lily. Luis gave his contact to the servant to call him in case of anything and decided to take Rose home. She was not helping in any way crying like Lily had crossed over to the other side.A couple of days passed and Lily's situation had not changed. She was still

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
Lily Shawn Chapter 180: Gone
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
Lily Shawn Chapter 179: Mr Adrian Mingle's Trial
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
Lily Shawn Chapter 175: Clearing things up - Part 2
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?"
Lily Shawn Chapter 174: Clearing things up - Part 1
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. He pulled a se
