Lily Shawn Chapter 146: Wedding Plan
Derry was in the bathroom, standing under the shower. He smiled knowing Lyla had already 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 reading a book she found on the nightstand."Would you like to take your shower now?" Derry inquired and she nodded in a yes. "Okay, let me ready the bathtub for you," he said.Derry went back to the bathroom and filled in the bathtub for her. He returned to the room and realized Lily was still in her dress and had not changed. She doesn't have any clothing here. He went for a bathrobe and gave it to her. Lily collected the bathrobe and entered the bathroom.While Lily was taking her bath, Derry 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," Derry thought.He h

"What is it?" Rose asked noticing the sudden change in Luis's expression.Luis shifted his gaze back to Rose and stared at her with a confused expression."It was Derrick's number again," he said.Rose got closer and looked at Luis's phone screen and also saw the missed call from Derrick's number."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

Derry worked till nightfall before leaving his study."What does this Lyla want?" Derry 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 want to bother him with resigning from the partnership deal that was cancelled for whatever reason. He wasn't ready to do any business with the company. He had only signed the first partnership contract because of Derrick's relationship with his father but now that they cancelled the agreement himself, he was not ready to sign the contract with them again.Derry entered the bathroom and soon the shower could be heard and water pouring on the floor. He stepped out of the bathtub, put on his robe and wiped his hair dry with a towel. He entered the bedroom, put on his sleepwear and lay next to Lily. One side of the bed sinking in made Lily open her eyes. She was now half awake. She groans

Derry ran his hand through his hair and stared at Lily one more time. He could not go back to sleep 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 dimly lit room. 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 opened the window blinds inviting the ray of the rising sun into the room."Good morning boss, it is 6 am," Alexa greeted.Lily frowned as the ray of light fell directly on her face. She pulled the sheet to cover her face causing Derry to look in her direction."Alexa, close the curtain blind on the left," Derry ordered noticing the ray of light was disturbing Lily."Yes boss," replied Alexa and the curtain on the left side of the window was closed.Derry got out of bed and went to the washroom. Standing in front of the mirror brushin

"You, you... you are Derry," Lily said stammering with her eyes widened and Derry nodded in a yes.Lily moved back again and almost fell off her seat but Derry was fast enough to hold her and prevent that from happening. He trembled, realizing what was about to happen looking at Lily's reaction and the look in her eyes. He helped her sit properly and he supported her so she wouldn't fall off.Lily's mind drifted off to when she was in prison accused of plotting Lyla's accident. She recalled everything up to when she heard Derrick's voice apologizing to her."He left me," Lily whispered on her lips lowering her lashes and Derry kept his gaze on her ready for anything that would happen next."I was in prison....and ....and I was feeling dizzy. I blacked out at home. I then heard Derrick's voice," Lily said and lifted her gaze to look at Derry. "He abandoned me when I needed him most," she said and tears fell from her eyes.Derry pulled her into his arms and hugged her comforting her. Li

Back in the room, Derry continued to engage Luis on the call while Lily lay down on the bed asleep."So how is she?" Luis inquired from the other end of the call.Even though Luis's questions sounded like he was checking on Lily he wanted to know how Derry was doing now that Lily had gained her memory."She is hurt but slept off as soon as her head touched the pillow. I guess she is also exhausted," Derry replied."Okay. The good news is, she is no longer living in an illusional state," Luis pointed out. "Does she remember anything about you two?" he inquired when Derry's response was just about Lily's health."Not sure, she had not said anything about that. She is still in some kind of shock. She is hurt. She needs time and probably space," Derry replied with some evidence of sadness in his voice.Derry shifted his gaze to Lily who was still lying down in the same position. It would be too much for him to tell her how he feels about her now. He would have to wait but for how long and
Last Updated : 2023-05-01Lily Shawn Chapter 152: Lyla Finally Thrown Out - Part 1
Rose was unhappy with the way Derrick treated Lily at a time when Lily needed him the most. It took Derry's dedication to acting as Derrick to put life back into Lily. Rose already knew Derry had fallen in love with Lily in his quest to help out. She felt Derry was the perfect man for Lily and hence told Lily about Derry's love for her knowing Lily would never want to hurt a man who saved her life. Luis and Derry decided to join the ladies after having their conversation standing at the entrance to the living. Derry and Luis chose a seat adjacent to their women."What do you think about planning something fun? At least something that would keep my friend from thinking too much," Rose suggested not wanting the men to know what they were discussing."Not a bad idea," Derry replied looking at Lily and Luis nodded in agreement."Babe, what do you think?" Derry said before he could stop himself. "I am sorry, I got used to going with your flow," he said apologetically.Lily smiled weakly but

Meanwhile, Lyla was in her room watching a TV show when Derry gave Alexa the command to turn off all necessary for the night. All the lights in the house were turned off and all plugs were equally turned off, except those for the heater and fridge. Lyla rolled her eyes when her room light went off and the TV went off too. Only her bedside lamb and the heater in her room were left on."O dear, these people know how to make a home boring. This is why I can't be with you Derry. Who sleeps at this time? It's only 8 pm," Lyla muttered under her breath and got out of bed.She found herself some hottie dressed, slipped into it and exited her bedroom. She had her key and hence she was able to open the main door and exited without Alexa raising any alarm. She headed for the staircase knowing Alexa had shut down the elevator. Outside, she hailed a taxi and soon arrived at the location Rosy sent to her, 10 minutes earlier. It was a popular restaurant with private rooms. She entered and the waite

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
