"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
Derry felt guilty and responsible for what Lily was going through. He wished he had handled the whole situation better. Now Lily is in this situation all because of him. He stayed in the doctor's office, and they spoke for a while before he left for Lily's ward. He entered Lily's ward, and she was still sleeping. She looked so peaceful in her sleep. He stood there and stared at Lily for a while. After staring at her for a while he wondered what kind of heart Derrick had to leave her in such a condition. She was pregnant too. Carrying Derrick's child.With Derry in the ward, the servant collected the empty bowls and put them in the basket and informed Derry she was going to get some food for Lily. Derry nodded and stayed with Lily.It was 5.30 pm when Lily woke up from her afternoon nap. The first thing she did was look around as if searching for someone. Her gaze fell on Derry who was standing at the window. Derry was leaning against the window staring at Lily on the bed when she woke.
