Lily Shawn Chapter 132: Our Only Hope
The nurse entered the ward again to check up on Lily. It was now sunrise. Derry was still rooted to the spot where he stood by the window. For three hours he was rooted to his spot. Occasionally, he moved to one end of the window and then back to the other end of the same window. Occasionally, he also turns to look out the window and returns his gaze to Lily. He felt responsible for Lily's current state. In his mind, he only prayed for situations to turn around. He cursed himself a thousand times over for acting so stupid by leaving Lily by herself.Luis and Rose arrived at the hospital at 7 a.m. and were both shocked to see Lily's current state. She looked better the previous day so what happened? Why is she looking pale now? She was still sleeping and now has an IV on.Luis walked up to Derry who had remained mute and would not move from his spot since they arrived. Rose just went to sit on the chair next to Lily and took Lily's hand in hers."Mr McClean, what happened?" Luis asked D

"What did I do?" Luis thought trying to understand why Rose was angry with him.The elevator doorbell rang, and the door opened. Luis was looking at Rose with a confused expression rooted to his spot. Rose just entered the elevator and pressed for the ground floor ignoring Luis.Luis snapped back into reality when the elevator door was about to close. He stretched his hand out, opened the elevator door and stepped in. He stood there staring at Rose who just stood there with a frown plastered on her face. They both remained silent as the elevator journeyed to the ground floor. The door opened on the ground floor and they both stepped out. Luis tried to hold Rose's hand, but she moved quickly, preventing him from touching her and promptly walked out of the hospital premises. Luis followed and saw her walking towards the roadside to hail a cab."Seriously, she is getting a cab?" Luis said on his lips as he walked to the car they had come in.Luis called Rose but she ignored him. He sat in

Rose cried her heart out all through but her cries had no impact on Luis's drunken state. He could hear her cry all right, but he had his motive and that was to have her and satisfy his inner desire. He only let go when he was done. He was drunk but not too drunk that he didn't know what he was doing. He wanted something to pin her to himself forever. Luis turned and lay on the side with a smile of achievement plastered on his face. If his calculation of her cycle was right, she would get pregnant and she would not leave him. She would not dream of leaving him again.Rose left the bed in tears and went to the bathroom pulling the blanket with her. She curled herself up like a shrimp sitting on the floor. Her back was completely exposed, but from her lower back down she had covered it with the blanket. She was hugging hugs and sobbing.Luis had slept off enjoying the quietness of the room. The other blanket was covering his lower half. His feet were completely exposed and so was his up

"Thanks, my love," Luis appreciated and hugged her tightly. "What would you like to do? I will be working on my lead today in my basement?" he asked, still hugging her.Rose shrugged her shoulder, "I would go to the hospital and check up on Lily?" she said with her head resting on Luis's shoulders while sitting on his lap and he was sitting on the edge of the bed."How about I drop you off and pick you up later in the day and we go somewhere nice?" Luis suggested, running his fingers through Rose's long hair.Rose immediately felt guilty hearing Luis's suggestions. Usually, they would go together to see Lily before Luis we proceed to wherever he wanted to go but now he was going to drop her off at the hospital and pick her up later."Is he avoiding Lily because of her?" Rose thought and lifted her head to look at his face."Lily is our friend, you don't have to avoid her because of me," Rose said looking into his eyes."No, I am not avoiding her, I just have a lot to do today," he lied

The car hit the main road and was now heading in the direction of their apartment after a couple of turns. Luis concentrated on the road feeling a little tired from the unexpected adventure they went through inside the warehouse. Had it not been for the labyrinth they would have arrested Sheila and the general and left the place long time."Did you get the person?" Rose asked breaking the silence inside the car."Yes, I did but we are not done yet. This criminal was not working alone," Luis replied, his gaze still on the road."Hmmm," Rose replied and stared at the side profile of Luis behind the wheel. He didn't even ask her how Lily was doing. She turned her eyes away from him and focused on the road. Luis briefly glanced at her and could tell she was worried. "It would be wrong timing to ask about Lily?" he thought and focused on getting them home instead. The last time was a mess, he didn't want a repetition.At the station, Sheila was thrown into one of the cells. An order was

News had just reached Luis that Sheila Williams had taken her life. He was hoping they would get some information from Sheila that would help with the investigation and lead to the arrest of other members involved but now Sheila is dead. Luis was holding the phone to his ears unable to react for a long time. "Sir? Hello?" the officer called out, not hearing anything for more than twenty seconds. "Mr Gomez, can you hear me?" the officer asked again."Yes, yes, yes, I am here, and I can hear you," Luis finally responded "I will come over to the station in the next half hour," he added and disconnected the call.He stood in a daze for a while, still holding his phone with one hand and his other hand on his waist with his back still turned to the bed. He snapped out of his daze when he felt a hand slip up from behind him to his chest and a warm body pressed against his back. Still holding the phone, he stroked Rose's hand tenderly with the other hand."Did you sleep well?" Luis spoke in

Rose realizing, she acted out of jealousy, was now feeling very bad about Luis's decision. Since their misunderstanding which led to the unpleasant reaction, Luis had never stepped foot inside the four corners of Lily's ward. Luis will drop her off and leave. When he comes to pick her up, he will sit and wait in the car. He would not even mention Lily's name. She had tried multiple times to even get Luis to mention Lily's name even if once, but he wouldn't. He was avoiding Lily and it was all just to make her happy. Rose lowered her head and shifted her gaze to the window feeling very terrible inside for what she made Luis do to Lily.The rest of the journey to the house was awkwardly silent. While Luis was thinking about how to get undeniable evidence to complete his work of clearing Derry and Lily's names, Rose was thinking about how to fix the friendship between Luis and Lily which she had destroyed with her unnecessary jealousy.Knowing Luis, Rose was very much aware Luis would do

Luis slowly removed Rose's hand from his chest and turned around to face her. He put her hands together and brought them to his lips dropping kisses on her hand. He lifted his gaze and stared into her eyes and he could see her guilt evident in her eyes."Please my love," Rose begged and Luis stared at her for a while."Okay, I will think about it," Luis replied. "Let me take a shower first and we can talk about it," he added and Rose nodded. Luis let go of Rose's hand and headed for the bathroom. Rose looked on as he entered the bathroom and closed the door. She went to lie on the bed in total resignation. In the bathroom, Luis stood under the shower putting his thoughts together. "Women are very complicated. First, she had a problem with me around Lily, and now she wants me to go see her," Luis thought but immediately corrected him."Wait she overheard my confession. Okay now that is different," Luis thought and he opened the tap and allowed the water to run over his body. He was

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
Lily Shawn Chapter 177: Live Streaming - Part 1
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
