Lily Shawn Chapter 168: CEO on Drugs
"They are so adorable," Victor commented admiring the babies."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 to the dining area."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 gaze shyly.Victor stopped in his tracks and shifted his gaze to Lily."As in Derry McClean," Victor asked to confirm and Lily nodded 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 ownership of the surname given to her children. She served everyone and they all started digging into their plate."Great, now this is wha

"Mr Gomez, someone is watching us," Derry said as soon as the call connected."Yeah, I know," Luis replied calmly on the other end of the call and Derry frowned."But why did you tell me?" Derry questioned 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 replied and Derry sighed."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.Derry looked at the newspaper 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 I*******m 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?" Mr Mingle asked."No, why?" Derrick replied and stoppe

"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," he said."Just reply yes or no to the question I am about to ask you," Luis said on the call."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.Derry sprinkled the cold water on Lily's 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..." Lily began but her voice thrilled off while hugging Derry as her eyes fell on the letter lying on the sofa behind Derry. "They are taking my children away

Luis and Rose arrived home, went upstairs to their room and freshened up."Babe, I will be up late tonight. Get some rest, I will join you later," Luis said, kissed Rose and left the room.In the study, Luis 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 Judy's phone but it was not enough.It was 11 pm when Luis decided to call Derry. He answered the call after three rings."Hello," Derry said from inside the bathroom after sneaking out of the bedroom so he wouldn'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 minutes," Derry replied and the call ended.Derry went into the control room and started checking all the camera footage for the past two weeks but he f

"Great, I will get to work. How is Lily by the way?" inquired 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?" Luis 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. So, proceed to get concrete evidence. Close monitoring. Once you have something send it to me immediately and get out of there," Luis said and disconnected the call.He inhaled deeply, "Lily, don't worry, it will be all over soon," he said and started the engine.Luis drove out of the compound to the courthouse to get the latest update on the appeal for custody of Lily's children. Meanwhile, Derrick had left

"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

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

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 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

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
