"Aunty Abigail killed my mum," Lily said faintly, almost like a whisper and dropped to the ground."Lily!, Lily?" Brenda called out her name as she pulled her into her embrace.She slapped her face a few times but no response. She picked up her phone and called the ambulance. Soon Lily was in the emergency. Brenda was just pacing up and down the hall."No, no, this can't be happening. This is not how things were supposed to happen. I hope they don't find out," She thought as she paced up and down the waiting area. "The only way out of this is to separate Derrick and Lily. They will spare me if I do that," she concluded Back in the city, Abigail sent a message to the black dragon. "She knows,"Her phone buzzed immediately with a reply'Idiot, you mess up again. The truth can't come up. initiate the next plan,'Abigail read the message and texted back, 'Okay'She came downstairs carrying a suitcase. Nora was about to go to bed when she saw Abigail coming down with a suitcase."It's late
Abigail Shawn had moved to Venice. Nora was arrested for the murder of Mr Adam Shawn and the investigation was still ongoing. Brenda's apartment exploded. The news was all over the TV channels. Fire service was already at the scene battling the fire. Mr Mingle went to get some coffee and was returning to the ward of Mrs Mingle. Upon opening the door, the first thing he saw was the news on the TV. He recognized the apartment immediately."That is Brenda's apartment. This means Lily is also there," he thought to himself.He placed the coffee on the table and, taking a glance at Mrs Mingle, who was lying peacefully on the bed with her eyes closed, went out of the ward pulling his phone out of his pocket. He made a call to his assistant and asked him to get the car ready. He went straight to the doctor's office and requested his wife be discharged. The doctor advises against moving the patient in such an unstable condition but Mr Mingle will not give in. He insisted his wife was discharge
Lily is recovering well from the injury. Joshua walked in with lunch and fed it to her. All the food prepared for her had special ingredients and herbs to aid her healing. Grandma came to check on Lily and later that night, Joshua walked in with supper, after feeding her, he began to sing;"Row, row, row your boat, Gently down the stream, Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream"Lily's eyebrow joined on her forehead as she looked at the boy surprised."What are you doing?" She asked."Singing for you to sleep," replied Joshua happily.Lily's jaw dropped. It did not stop Joshua who started singing another lullaby and stroking Lily's hair gently like a baby."Go to sleep my darling, close your little eyes. Angels are above us, peeping through the skies. God is in his heaven, and he watches doth keep," he paused, placing a finger to his cheek and tilting his head to the right, he squinted his face and asked;"Do you know the last line of the song?"Lily's face darkened and
Derrick left Hohoken angry, broken and sad back to Washington. He went straight to his office. All he could remember was Lily kissing another man."What has his mum got to do with this? Lily has never met his mum, so what was she talking about? What nonsense was that?" Derrick thought."No, she just found someone else. Whatever she said was pure nonsense," he thought.He remembered their first kiss including subsequent ones. He could tell she loved him as much as he loved her. So what caused the sudden change? Why is she pushing him away?"I am so stupid. She has another man, that is why. How can I forget she was in another man's arms? She kissed him right in front of me," he said angrily.He was pacing up and down his office and had emptied a bottle of wine already. He closed his eyes and fell onto the sofa. Marcus walked in. Derrick looked at him and smiled. Marcus looked at Derrick who was looking miserable. He helped him to the car and took him back to the villa.Ivy was there and
In the morning, Luis and Lily made a trip to the courthouse. He was successful with his appeal and managed to push the execution back by a month. He met Nora and they spoke at length. He recorded their entire conversation. He requested the case files and went through the accompanying evidence gathered. He saw the video from the house surveillance. He watched it and asked if he could get a copy. They gave it to him. On his way out he heard some officers talking."Is that the famous lawyer Luis from Hoboken?" one officer asked, and another replied."Yes, it is. I just don't know why he wants to handle this case all of a sudden," another officer passed a comment"Did you guys ever think for once this lady may be innocent after all?" one officer chipped in."What do you mean, aside from the polygraph which she passed all the evidence points to her," replied another officer."Shut it guys and get back to work. If he wants to handle the case, how is it your business" came the voice of the se
Derrick left home for his mum's office after exchanging greetings with his dad and having breakfast together with the family. He recalls what his mum told him before he left home."Go to my office. Turn my seat down and remove the front leg to your left. I have a pen drive hidden there. It's the video of Ivy's attack on Lily," Mrs Mingle said.In Mrs Mingle's office, Derrick did as instructed and there it was, the pen drive was hidden in the leg of her seat. He took it and left the office back to the villa. He instructed the guard at the gate not to let Ivy into the villa ever again. He called Marcus and together they left for the office. On the way, he called the police, reported Ivy and requested they arrest her immediately. After his morning meeting, he left the office with Marcus for the police station when Ivy's father, Mr Garcia, called him. He answered and Mr Garcia started yelling at him from the other end of the call.Derrick gave the phone to Marcus disgusted by the yelling.
Luis smiled and asked Nora, "Do you remember the address of your house in Venice?""Yes" replied Nora."Write it down for me," he said and gave her a book and a pen.Nora wrote down the address for Luis"Good," Luis said after staring at the written address for a couple of minutes."But what do you need the address for?" asked Nora curiously."Because there is no place like home," replied Luis still smiling.Lily looked at him with a frown."Why did you become a nanny if you were working in an office before," Luis asked curiously."My late husband was the CEO of the company and he employed me. So, when he died, his successor fired me," Nora replied sadly."I will get you out of here. I promise," Luis said assuringly and left with Lily back to the hotel.It was almost dark when they arrived at the hotel. Luis was booking a flight for two to Venice when Lily stopped him saying she preferred to stay back."It's just three days. You can leave me here at the hotel. Aunty Nora is going throu
Lily hit Derrick's head with the bedside lamp sending him into a state of unconsciousness. This action triggered a memory recollection for Derrick from his childhood. His father killed his childhood friend Jessie. "Son, what do you mean? Is that how to talk to your father?" Mr Mingle said irritated.Derrick inhaled deeply to calm himself down. He got off the bed and walked towards the window and turned to look at his father. Mr Mingle also stood up from the edge of the bed where he was sitting before and sat on the couch resting his back on the backrest."Father, promise me you will tell me the truth?" Derrick said and moved away from the window walking towards his father."What truth?" Mr Mingle asked curiously, staring at him.Derrick sighed and decided to go straight to the point after sitting down next to his father on the couch."Why did you shoot my friend Jessie?" Derrick asked and Mr Mingle turned pale."He remembered. Fuck! But how?" Mr Mingle thought staring at Derrick but c
