John appears to be helpless in the whole situation when they heard a 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 pushed the door open and entered upon arriving on Lily's room floor and he was followed by Luis. John was the last to get there. 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 stopped him immediately."Stop, don't touch her. It is a crime scene now. Touching her will have your prints all over her."

"James?" Luis asked in surprise.James didn't know how to react. He attempted to leave but was stopped by Luis."What are you doing here? Were you not in a coma back in Venice City?" Luis questioned but James had no answer "Answer me dammit," he yelled."Nothing," James said hesitantly but showed him his phone screen with a message, "Just read in your head, I promise I will tell you everything when we get to a safe place," Luis read and looked around him. He pulled out his phone from his pocket and called Derrick to come and take care of Lily. Luis walked James to his car and made him sit inside to wait for him. Half an hour later, Derrick's car drove in. Luis went to meet him."Mr Mingle, something came up, I have to go home and check on it," Luis breathed heavily "Lily was sent to the emergency again. She had a cardiac arrest," he informed."What, how did that happen?" Derrick questioned anxiously. "Not sure, but the doctors are tending to her now. Please take care of her as I tend

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

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

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?"

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

"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.
