The servant covered her mouth in shock at the same time Luis and Rose walked in.Luis cleared his throat to alert Derry and Lily that they were no longer alone. Derry snapped out of the moment immediately feeling embarrassed. For that split moment, he had forgotten about the servant's presence and now Luis and Rose were also there."Hi," Derry said awkwardly. "Dad, you are here, Aunt Nora," Lily shouted in excitement.Lily walked towards Luis and Rose. She hugged them together. Derry walked towards the window and leaned against it still feeling embarrassed but somewhere in his heart, he hoped Luis and Rose would not judge him. "Yeah, looks like you are going home today," Luis said noticing she was no longer in the medical dress and her stuff was all packed. "Yes, and I convinced Derrick to let me stay with him," Lily said smiling. "That is nice but you know that is wrong. You are not married to him yet so you can't just go stay with him," Luis pointed out and Lily frowned."So, yo
"I hope Derrick doesn't come back; I would make her mine," he said into Luis's face. Luis could not speak; he was still equally in love with her. He just told himself she would never love him the way he does and moved on with Rose. Derry relaxed in his seat as he had come to the full realization that he loves Lily. Those days he spent with her at the hospital. The way she addressed him, the respect he gave him, the care and everything she did was the best moments in his life. For the first time in his life, he knows what it feels like to love and be loved back. Lily made him feel wanted, needed and above all loved. Her innocent smile, the love in her eyes, and the joy around her anytime she does something for her warmed his heart every time. At first, he thought it was just a passing flame but when she made him cuddle with her on the same bed at the hospital and her lips brushed his accidentally, he felt something magical. The first time they kissed was also by accident but yet he
"Good, you are better now. So you and your aunty can return to your home," Derry announced and relaxed in his seat, pulling Lily into his embrace. "I see, so it is like that, huh," Lyla said and a tear rolled down her cheeks.She turned and walked away. Derry was surprised. He had never seen her cry. Many times, he had tried to win her over she never gave in, she only gives in anytime he wants to be intimate with her but she never loved him back so what is her problem now?These were the thoughts running through his head as he rubbed Lily's shoulders gently. "Ivy, leaves here?" Lily asked "Who is Ivy?" he thought "Wait, does it mean Derrick had a woman called Ivy?" he thought. He decided on a better answer to give to her question."She had an accident so I let her stay here so I can be sure she is following the doctor's instructions," he explained honestly "O mine, that is terrible, glad she is fine now," Lily replied "Yeah," Derry added "By the way, you were supposed to be in
He went to the bedroom and Lily wasn't there. He checked the bathroom and she was not there either. He called her but no response "O my God, where has she gone to?" he said feeling tense Derry searched the whole apartment going into rooms and still no sign of Lily. He began to panic, wondering what he would do if something bad happened to her. "Please Lily be safe," he prayed silently He went down the stairs and decided to go look for her outside the house because she was not inside the house. He went down to the garage using the elevator. He first checked the entire garage and there was no sign of her. He went out of the garage to the main compound, the garden and went round the house but still no sign of Lily."Did she go out of the compound?" he thought worried about her safety. He drove out of the compound and drove down the street with the hope of finding her walking around. After driving for a while, he saw a lady sitting on a bench with her head lowered."Lily," he exclai
"Shit!" she exclaimed and left the place disappointed Derry was in the bathroom and smiled. He knew by now Lyla had tried to enter his room and failed.Derry finished taking his bath and walked into the bedroom in a bathrobe. He quickly dressed up and put on something comfortable. Lily had finished eating and was just going through a book she found on the nightstand."Would you like to take your shower now?" he enquired and she nodded in a yes. "Okay, let me get the bath ready for you," he added. He went back to the bathroom and filled in the bathtub for her. He returned to the room and realized she was still in her dress and had not changed. She doesn't have any clothing here. He gave her a bathrobe and she entered the bathroom.He made a call to a clothing shop owned by a friend in town and asked him to deliver some clothing to his apartment."Now he just needs to keep her busy in the bathroom till the clothes arrive," he thought. He had not planned on seeing her without clothes
He pulled the phone from his pocket and checked the caller ID and his expression changed"What is it," Rose asked noticing the sudden change in his expression Luis looked at Rose with a confused expression "It was Derrick's number again," he replied Rose got closer and looked at his phone screen. "Try calling him let's see," she suggested Luis dialled Derrick's number and waited for it to connect but no one answered. He called severely but there was no answer "What if he is in trouble?" Rose asked, worriedly "That is possible but this would be difficult to track. It is like when he left the hospital that day, he took nothing with him," Luis informed her"I think we need to report this to the police. It doesn't make sense he calls but will not wait for you to answer and would not answer when you call back either," Rose pointed out"You are right. He may be in some kind of trouble," Luis replied "It's late now, let's do that tomorrow," he added and they continued climbing the stair
He frowned upon seeing another email from her. He ignored it and worked on other stuff. He worked till nightfall before coming out of the study."What does she want from me," he wondered as he walked towards the bedroom. He slowly opened the bedroom door and entered, ensuring he didn't disturb Lily's sleep. It had been a long day, dealing with employees, Luis and now the new CEO of GoldMedal wants to bother him. He wasn't ready to do any business with the company. The only reason he had signed the first partnership contract was because of Derrick's relationship with his father. He entered the bathroom and soon the shower could be heard and water pouring on the ground. He stepped out of the bathtub and put on his robe and wiped his hair dry with a towel. He entered the bedroom and put on his sleepwear and lay next to Lily. One side of the bed sinking made her open her eyes. She was now half awake. She groans softly for being woken up. She was lying on her side because of her belly
He ran his hand through his hair and stared at her one more time. Derry could not close his eyes any more as the dream he had earlier kept on playing in his mind. He was lying face up on the bed. He stared at the spiral chandelier light hanging from the ceiling in the deep light. His side of the lamp was illuminating the room. It was a yellow light and hence not loud enough to disturb anyone. He stayed in bed like that till he heard Alexa's greetings as she opens the window blinds inviting the ray of the rising sun into the room"Good morning boss, it is 6 am," Alexa greeted Lily frowns at the ray of light that fell directly on her face. She pulled the sheet to cover her face causing Derry to look in her direction."Alexa, closed the curtain blind on the left," he said noticing the ray of light was disturbing her"Yes boss," replied Alexa and the curtain on the left side of the window was closed. He got out of bed and went to the washroom. Standing in front of the mirror brushing h
