"Now how did Mr Mingle land that position?" Luis thought as he entered the house.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. "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." he 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" she made a gagging sound and Luis turned to look at her immediately. "See this," she said showing the ne
She was moved to one of the luxurious private wards as requested by Derry. She had a set of twins. A boy and a girl. Derry held one in his arms as Lily held the other in hers, both carried away by overwhelming emotion. "They are beautiful," Derry said his eyes tearer"Yes," Lily said and smiled watching how carefully he was holding the baby. He already looked like a father caring for his child. This was the thought in Lily's mind as she looked at him from the bed where she lay in admiration. "If Derrick could leave her sick and pregnant, then he doesn't deserve her or the children. It's time to move on," she 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 Lil
When they pulled apart Lily said to him "I want to start a new life with you,"He hugged her tightly and rubbed her back gently "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," he said Lily pulled away from him and stared into his gorgeous eyes "But..." she said "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," he explained "Wait, is it because of Derrick?" Lily asked her gaze turning angryDerry looked at her, realizing she was getting upset and decided to remain silent "To Derrick I am dead. He abandoned me to die. When he finally returns, he can look for me and his child at the graveyard. That is what would have happened if you had not come to my rescue," she said he
"Now he only needs to get rid of Rosy and no one would ever find out. Lily can leave her life as long as Derrick stays away from her," he thought as he brought the glass of wine to his lips."That call appears to have made you very happy, what was it about?" Derrick asked as he made his way into the parlour"Yeah, it was good news but not for me but a friend," he 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 sitting on a relaxing chair"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," he replied and emptied his glass of wine, "Fill it for me" he said to the servant massaging his feetDerrick looked at him without saying anything further."Hi everyone," came the voice of Isabel. She walked in on
"Our last project was just cancelled" she announced and Rosy sunk into her seat dropping her phone to the ground."Ma'am, are you alright," the secretary kept shaking Rosy who was not responding."Someone, help?" she screamed and kept shaking her"What happened" the first person who walked in enquired "I don't know, I just informed her about the cancellation of our last project and she fell to the ground," she told himThe 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 to the hospital. The rest of the employees stood watching what was going on. The secretary went with her to the hospital. At the hospital, Rosy was quickly rushed to the emergency room and was attended to by the medical practitioners. The secretary stood in the waiting area. She stood there hugging her ar
He did a quick calculation in his mind and as if suddenly struck by the reality he said out loud, "Those are my children" 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 also 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 alive anymore and the only friends, she has 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 she gets wind of it. Derry looked at her as they sat in the garden enjoying the cool breeze with the babies and inwardly, he felt satisfied. He prayed silently in his heart th
Rosy froze in place going through the documents Marcus had given her as he drove away from her compound. "There is no going back," she whispered under her breath "What did the document say," Lyla asked stretching her neck to take a peep at the content of the document Rosy dropped the document to the ground and Lyla quickly picked up the scattered papers on the floor. The first thing she saw was the eviction notice and she looked at the other documents. The company's board of directors cast a vote against her. "OMG, they fired you," Lyla screamed "and they are taking everything from you. So, you have nothing?" she asked, looking at her bewildered. Rosy had not recovered from the shock and hence did not hear a word of what Lyla said. She stood rooted to the entrance where Marcus had handed her the documents from the company. Lyla was pacing up and down behind her as she went on and on whining "O dear, what's going to happen to me? Where will I leave now? Oh God, I will end up o
Derry was unhappy when he heard about how Rosy schemed and took the company from Derrick. Not that he cared but he hated dishonest people and hence decided to teach her a lesson. He also wanted to do something for Lily and he felt claiming the company for her was a good plan. He had pulled some strings and finally got the board to vote the CEO out. He didn't waste time in sharing the good news with Lily but it was from this conversation he found out something. Lily did not know her father was once in the army and for some reason, her father also never mentioned it not leaving evidence of that for her.Lily felt disappointed she didn't know her father and Derry was now wondering why Mr Adam Shawn, vanished from the TV screens all of a sudden and what happened to the security agency he was managing. "How old are you?" Derry asked trying to understand why she doesn't know anything about her father's military life. Lily lowered her lashes and replied fidgeting with her hand "Twenty-o
