"Saved by the bell," he thought as they both entered the baby nest with Lily leading. Lily picked the baby from the cot and Derry picked the other. The babies stopped crying once in their arms "Sure, it looks like they are tired of lying down," Derry joked and Lily smiled walking towards the swinging seat. As soon as she sat down the baby started crying, so she got up and Derry laughed. "How are we going to make dinner," Lily asked standing with the baby in her arms. "That is simple," Derry replied and opened the baby wardrobe, bringing out two baby carrier bags "Tadaa" he said with a smile holding the baby in one hand and the carrier bags in another. Lily smiled and walked up to him. She gave him a peck on the cheek and took one carrier bag from him "Derry, you are the best," she said with a smile and Derry smiled back at her "You bring out the best in people," he replied. She put the baby in the carrier bag and strapped it on and Derry did the same and they both went do

"What, No, Dad, why?" Derrick said, standing in shock "Relax, I am not that cruel. Why will I take babies that young away from their mother? I just want to know how you feel about rescuing those two innocent children from the jinx," he said and emptied his glass of wine.Derrick looked at him, not sure how to react. Eventually, he left the living room and went to the poolside. He wanted to be close to his children, be a father to them but not like the way his father proposed. Lily may be a jinx but she is their mother and those children need their mother. He took off his clothes and jumped into the pool. He needed to clear his mind. A good swim would help with that. He stayed in the water for a while and decided it was enough for now. As soon as he stepped out of the pool, a towel was handed to him."Thank you," he said trying to see the person hiding behind the towel "Hey babe, you are here," he said checking the time on his wristwatch after which she kissed her cheeks."I though

"What is it?" Rose asked noticing the frown on his face but he quickly changed it to a smile "Someone is spying on Lily," he said still frozen in his spot "Oh no. I thought all these troubles are over and she will now enjoy a moment of peace. Why now," Rose lamented Luis closed the door behind him and walked to the bed and sat next to Rose "I knew it wasn't over but I didn't expect anything this soon. Her battles are about to start all over again," he said with his head lowered."Tell Derry, his father is very influential, he can do something about it," Rose suggested"I know but it would make matters worse. I want to end this not postponed it" Luis replied "What do you mean?" Rose asked confused "He is in love with her. That is a problem. He will make hasty decisions to save her. This would only push the problem back only to appear again in a different form later," he pointed out "How?" she enquired Luis sat up straight and turned to face her "Let's say, the police came here

Lily quickly set the table and invited them but Victor wanted to see the babies. So, they went into the baby's room and he could not help but smile ear to ear looking at the two. "They are so adorable," Victor said"Yeah, let's go finish eating so the food doesn't get cold. They will be waking up soon so we will spend time with them," Derry suggested and they all left the room "What did you name them?" Victor asked with a smile as they headed for the dining room as Derry fetched their drinks."Derry and Nora," Lily said lowering her head shyly Victor stopped in his tracks and shifted his gaze to Lily "As in Derry McClean," he asked to confirm and Lily shook her head in a yes "Wow, I feel honoured you gave my name to your children," he said with a smile 'Technically, she named them after me," Derry said smiling as they entered the dining area and sat behind the table "And technically, I owned the name," Victor said pouring himself a glass of water.Lily smiled watching them claim

"Mr Gomez, someone is watching us," he said as soon as the call connected. "Yeah, I know" Luis replied calmly on the other end of the call"But why did you tell me?" Derry questioned getting wondering why Luis didn't alert him about that."I am sorry men, I wanted to first find out what the person was up to," Luis repliedDerry sighs "Lily is in the newspapers. This would affect her job," Derry pointed out "I will come over later in the day so we talk," he said and disconnected the call. He looked at the paper one more time before taking long strides back to the apartment.Back in Washington, the image of Lily struggling with some medical team with the caption 'CEO on drugs' was already trending on social media. Mr Mingle opened his Instagram page and smiled. He got up from the bed and exited his bedroom. He went straight to the gym and found Derrick using the treadmill. "Have you checked the news today?" he asked "No, why?" Derrick replied and stopped the machine"Take a look,"

"Hello Mr Gomez, Lily just lost custody of her twins," he announced "To who?" Luis asked hoping Derry would not say Derrick "Derrick," replied Derry "What! Why will he do that to her?" Luis asked not expecting an answer from Derry "How is Lily?" he quickly asked "Unconscious," Derry replied "I will take care of her but we need to move fast," Derry said "Just reply yes or no to the question I am about to ask you," Luis said "Sure" Derry replied "Is that nanny you hired there with you now?" Luis asked "Yes," Derry replied "Good, keep an eye on her," Luis said"Okay, please hurry," Derry added and disconnected the call"Please get me some water," Derry said to Judy and she hurried to the kitchen and brought some water to Derry. He sprinkled the cold water on her face and she squinted and opened her eyes. Her vision was a bit blurry at first but it became normal and she hugged Derry."I had a terrible dream just now. That ...that..." she began but her voice thrilled off while

"I will bring the children back, I promise you. They will be back soon," he promised her unaware that as he made those promises, the babies were on their way to Washington. Luis and Rose got home. They both went upstairs and freshened up."Babe, I will be up late tonight. Get some rest, I will join you later" Luis said, kissed her and left the room.In the study, he turned on the laptop and went into his email to see the emails sent to him. He started going through them."So Lily's nanny was planted in Derry's home," Luis thought going through the deleted conversation picked from her phone but it was not enough.It was 11 pm when he decided to call Derry. He answered the call after three rings. "Hello," he said inside the bathroom after sneaking out of the bedroom so he won't wake Lily up. "Your nanny drugged Lily from my findings but it is not enough. Can you help me with any footage from your CCTV?" Luis requested but Derry was not shocked by the revelation."Sure, give me 15 minu

"Yes, that is why I plan on using media power. I am putting everything online let's see how he gets out of that. Media power," Luis said smiling "That is a good plan." Derry said, "My dad is influential and powerful, I will reach out to him, and he will help," he added"Great, I will get to work. How is Lily by the way?" enquired Luis "She is still hurting. She... she has gone silent," Derry replied sadly "Take her out of the environment. It would help a little," Luis suggested and Derry nodded in agreement With that, Luis excused himself and left the office. Inside the car, he retrieved his phone from his pocket and dialled a number, bringing the phone to his ears"How are you?" he said once the call connected"Good boss," replied the person on the other end of the call"I have confirmation, our suspected person is who we think he is.
