Lily woke up very early. She took a quick shower and asked the servant to pack her breakfast for her. As early as 4 a.m., she was ready to leave for work. As she was standing in the corridor next to the dining area, she looked upstairs towards her aunt's room. "We will talk about it during the weekend," She thought before leaving the house for work.After struggling for half an hour she finally got a cab and was at the office at 5. 30 am. She paid the driver and walked toward the office. She pressed for the elevator and was soon upstairs. The office was lifeless as employees had not arrived yet. She went straight to her office and turned on her laptop. She went through the files she had worked on the previous day and quickly sent them to John's email. She started working on the second badge of documents, projects, salaries, etc. She checked her time and it was 6.30 am. She decided to take a break and have her breakfast. She went to the coffee machine to get some coffee first. She wa
Derrick after what happened with Lily in his office felt very bad about the way he treated her. He didn't have any confirmation of what his mum told him. What if what he was told about Lily was false? One thing he was happy about is the fact that they are not siblings. He can now go all out to love her, respect her and dote on her. With this in mind, he decided to go apologize to her. He changed his coffee-stained white shirt into a black shirt and put his jacket on, leaving his office to Lily's office to apologize to her. Upon reaching Lily's office, the door was slightly opened and he could hear her on the phone telling someone to inform Luis to call her. "Luis again. Luis, the guy she kissed, back in Mexico City? So they are together" He thought. "How then did she kiss me with such an honest passion?" Derrick concluded there must be some truth in what his mum told him about Lily. He left back to his office in anger. In Venice, Fabian arrives and lodges in a hotel. It was past
Luis, in his desperation, to keep Lily safe ended up confessing his love to Lily before he could stop himself during their phone conversation. This was unexpected for Lily. She was not ready for this. She started thinking about Luis. She wanted to understand their relationship. She doesn't really feel that way about him. Luis has done nothing but good to her. It will not be a bad idea to love him back but is that what she wanted? She was lost in her thoughts when she heard a knock on her door: "Come in," Lily said as she dropped her phone into her drawer, turned her seat to face her desk and ensured there was nothing off about her. The door opened and John walked in with some files in his hand. He sat on the chair in front of Lily's desk. "So these are new projects that came in yesterday. It is from our business partners. I would need you to have a look at it and be the lead on it. This will mean meeting the client, understanding the project and how it fits into our business visio
Luis and Lily have now confirmed that Nora's twin is still alive. As for Jennifer's whereabouts, it is still not known. Lily's legs became weak knowing her Aunty Nora was gone forever. She sat on the floor unable to cry but dejected. Luis stood in the living room not far away from her with pain in his heart seeing her like that. He got closer to her and sat on the floor next to her, he pulled her into his embrace and gently rubbed the back of her head. As if that was a trigger, her tears started pouring uncontrollably. She wept bitterly till she could cry no more. Luis just held her tight through it all. Her hatred for Sheila, the woman she once knew as her Aunty Abigail became stronger. She lost her mum because of her, she lost the man she loved because of her, her father, and now Aunty Nora, all because of her. Lily closed her eyes and memories of her time together with Aunty Nora flashed before her. She cried till she could cry no more. She just sat on the floor still wrapped in
It's been over a month since Nora's murder trial ended and she was declared innocent. Luis had found out, Jennifer her twin switched places with her and ended up killing her in the process. Nora's corpse has been abandoned at the morgue as no one came to claim it. Lily and Luis have confirmed Nora's twin is the one alive. The authorities decided to bury her together with other bodies in the morgue in a mass burial when Luis reached out to claim the body for burial. He went to the morgue for Nora's corpse and made preparations for her burial ceremony. It is been forty-eight hours since the confirmation Aunty Nora is the one dead. Lily was still not in a good mood. She was completely lost. She is now alone with no family. Luis asked Rose to help Lily get ready for Nora's burial service. The ceremony was very short and soon Nora's casket was lowered into the grave. Tears rolled down Lily's cheek as memories of her once-happy family flashed before her eyes. Aunty Nora has been more th
Derrick, John and Luis were all in Lily's apartment in Florida. Derrick and Luis kept disagreeing on which one of them could go check up on Lily. John appears to be helpless in the whole situation when they hear a loud scream coming from Lily's room. All three men rushed upstairs to her room. The housekeeper also rushed out of the kitchen to the corridor leading to the staircase that leads to Lily's room. Derrick flung the door open and entered upon arriving on Lily's room floor and he was followed by Luis. John was the last to enter. Derrick froze in his steps at the sight before him. Luis who was right behind him, moved to the side to see what had made Derrick stop in his tracks only to have his jaw drop. John stood at the entrance, covering his eyes immediately. Derrick moved closer to Lily's bed to pick her up but Luis realised what Derrick was about to do and stopped him immediately. "Stop, don't touch her. It is a crime scene now. Touching her will have your prints all over
Once the police were done checking the premises, Luis left for the hospital after confirming the location of the hospital where Lily had been taken to, with the help of a friend. On the way, Luis started wondering how the attacker got to know Lily was back in the apartment. He already has in mind Jennifer and her daughter, Sheila had something to do with this but how did they know she was back? He didn't realize how slow he was driving in a speed lane until another car honked at him. He quickly brought his attention to the road, pressing the accelerator, he sped up and continued his journey to the hospital. In the hospital, Lily had been sent to the emergency, and Derrick and John were in the patient waiting area. Lily was not just stabbed once but there were multiple stabbings which affected some of her organs. It took longer than expected to finish the operation and the rest was left to Lily's response to the treatment. Luis arrived at the hospital. He parked his car and walked
Lily was admitted to the hospital. Luis stepped out to get some food and got attacked. Returning to the hospital he realized Lily was not in her room. He enquired about from the receptionist the whereabouts of the lady on admission in one of the wards he was told she had been sent to the emergency again due to a cardiac arrest. He suspected foul play and went to the room for clues but spotted a familiar person in a medical outfit heading towards the entrance. Forcefully grabbing the person by the back of the coat because the person refused to stop when he called but rather discovered something shocking. It was his friend who was supposed to be on hospital admission and in a coma at a hospital in Venice City. "James?" Luis asked in surprised James didn't know how to react. He got up and wanted to leave but was stopped by Luis. "What are you doing here? Were you not in a coma back in Venice City?" He questioned but James had no answer "Answer me dammit" Luis yelled. "Nothing," He sa
