Lily Shawn Chapter 155: Money and Power in our Hands
Rosy arrived in Washington at half past noon and quickly checked into a hotel. After relaxing for an hour, she went down to the restaurant and ordered some food. She left for Washington Corrections Center for Women to find Jennifer. She went through the formality and was soon led to the room where she waited to see Jennifer."Hello, how are you doing?" Rosy asked as she took a seat opposite Jennifer.Jennifer stared at her with a cold gaze."Such nonsense questions are not asked in places like this," Jennifer said with authority and Rosy quivered in fear knowing what Jennifer was capable of doing if she offended her."I am sorry," Rosy stammered."Why are you here? I don't suppose you came all the way to this place to ask me a nonsense question," Jennifer said adjusting a toothpick in her mouth as she crossed her legs.Jennifer had one hand in a handcuff chained to the table sitting between them."No, I came bearing good news," Rosy replied composing herself."I am listening," Jennifer

In Luis's apartment, Rose and Luis were deciding on a destination for their honeymoon."Okay, how about Fiji, they have amazing beaches," Rose screamed excitedly browsing the internet."Naa, if you plan on wearing a bikini, wear it here and let's go to the bathtub," Luis said laughing making Rose roll her eyes at him."Bora Bora," Luis suggested also browsing the internet."Bo ...what," Rose asked turning to look at Luis sitting on the sofa opposite her"Bora Bora," Luis repeated shifting her gaze to her."Where is that place?" Rose inquired staring at Luis."Well, it says here. Bora Bora is a small South Pacific Island northwest of Tahiti in French Polynesia. Surrounded by sand-fringed motus (islets) and a turquoise lagoon protected by a coral reef, it’s known for its scuba diving. It's also a popular luxury resort destination where some guest bungalows are perched over the water on stilts," Luis read aloud from the internet staring at her phone screen."Sounds interesting," Rose repl

Luis went back into the house and told Rose about everything he had discussed with Derry and the need for them to pass by later in the evening to see Lily."Do you think Derrick will come back?" Rose asked worriedly."I don't know. He had made himself not easy to track. But I intend to use this news to my advantage. I don't know, he may not like his father but blood is thicker than water." Luis added."So, if Lily falls in love with Derry and Derrick comes back what happens to Derry?" Rose asked."Well, don't worry your head about that, my love. We just need to confirm Lily is not relapsing from her sudden behaviour. If she is very much aware of what she is doing, then the decision lies with her on what to do if Derrick comes back," Luis replied.Rose nodded and looked at the other headlines in the newspaper."Ewrr" Rose made a gagging sound and Luis turned to look at her immediately. "See this," she said showing the newspaper to him.Luis took the paper from her and relaxed on the sof

"They are beautiful," Derry said his eyes filled with tears of joy."Yes," Lily said and smiled watching how carefully Derry was holding the baby.He already looked like a father caring for his child. This was the thought in Lily's mind as she stared at Derry from the bed where she lay in admiration."If Derrick could leave her sick and pregnant woman, then he doesn't deserve me or the children. It's time to move on," Lily thought, deciding in her heart as she smiled still watching Derry with the baby.She just had a baby and hence felt a bit exhausted so she was still lying in bed not making any attempt to sit up on the bed."I am calling Luis and Rose to share with them this good news," Derry said as he gently placed the sleeping baby boy in the baby's cot. "Is she also sleeping?" he asked Lily who was carrying the baby girl but she gave the baby to him and the baby started to cry."Hey," Derry said kissing the baby's forehead. "Don't cry, uncle is here," he said as he swung the baby

When they pulled apart Lily said to him, "I want to start a new life with you,"Derry hugged her tightly and rubbed her back gently. This is the confession he wanted to hear from her and she finally said it."Lily, I want that with you too. I fell in love with you when you were at the hospital and I have not been able to get you out of my mind. You made me feel what it means to be loved. I know you thought I was Derrick back then but even now you still make me feel loved," Derry confessed still hugging her.Lily pulled away from him and stared into his gorgeous eyes. She did realize Derry's statement was incomplete. So she urged him to complete it."But..." she said staring at him."Let's take things slow. One day at a time till we are sure that is what we want. I don't want you to get hurt and neither do I want to be hurt," Derry explained and Lily felt like her heart was breaking hearing his statement which sounded like a rejection."Wait, is it because of Derrick?" Lily asked her ga

Derrick entered the parlour and found his father smiling ear to ear."That call appears to have made you very happy. What was it about?" Derrick asked as he made his way into the parlour his gaze scanning the seats."Yeah, it was good news but not for me but a friend," Mr Mingle replied and sipped his wine."Daddy, if you are going to lie to me at least treat me as the adult that I am," Derrick said and eventually decided on a seat, and sat down to relax."Why do you think I am lying?" Mr Mingle questioned putting his glass of wine on the table."Since when did you start celebrating anyone's success aside from yours?" Derrick question."Since I was elected into government. I realize the importance of appreciating people," Mr Mingle replied and emptied his glass of wine, "Fill it for me" he said to the servant massaging his feet.Derrick looked at him without saying anything further."Hi everyone," came the voice of Isabel.She walked in on her high heels, swaying her hips, wearing a bl

"Our last project was just cancelled," the secretary announced and Rosy sunk into her seat dropping her phone to the ground."Ma'am, are you alright," the secretary asked as she shook Rosy who was not responding. "Somebody, help?" she screamed and kept shaking Rosy whose eyes were closed."What happened?" the first person who walked in inquired drawing closer to the desk where Rosy remained on her seat with her eyes closed."I don't know. I just informed her about the cancellation of our last project and this sunk into her seat closing her eyes," the secretary replied.The guy pulled out his phone and dial 911."Hello, please we have an emergency, our boss just passed out," he said as soon as the call connected.The ambulance arrived at the office premises in a few minutes and Rosy was carried on a stretch into the ambulance and out of the company heading to the hospital.

"Those are my children," he said with excitement staring at the image on the front page of the newspaper recognizing the lady to be Lily.Back in Florida, Derry and Lily enjoyed their weekend as they took turns tending to the babies and doing one fun activity after another. They had a video call with Luis and Rose to check up on them and also update them on how they and the babies were doing. All this while Lily was not aware of the gossip going around social media about her, Derry and her newborns. She didn't have any family members alive anymore and the only friends, she had now were Luis and Rose, for this reason, she didn't feel the need to spend money on a mobile phone. In addition, she is always at home and has access to the house phone. This puts Derry at the vantage point to clear the news from the media platform before Lily gets wind of it.Derry looked at Lily as they sat in the garden enjoying the cool breeze with the babies and inwardly, he felt satisfied. He prayed silent

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

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
