He sent her a message asking her to stop and move on. Lily was in her room reading her book when her phone buzzed with a message. She checked the sender ID and it was from Luis. She read it and was confused. Why would Luis send her such a message? She wondered and read the message againI know what you did and what you are planning. It's never too late to stop.

Luis had slowed down on his investigation as all evidence pointed to the fact that Lily was taking revenge by executing members of the black dragon group. This is a bad group anyway but it is equally bad for Lily to take the law into her own hands. Luis didn't want to put Lily on the criminal list. This is a woman he was in love with. He could not bear to be the one to send her to prison. It will be like pushing a sword through his own heart. Something too painful to do. Lily may not be in love with him but he would rather see her walk free, living her dreams than behind bars. Lily has just received the shocking news of Mrs Mingle's death from Derrick. After crying for a while she asked to be alone and Derrick granted her request assuring her, that he was going to be there for her.

That is what she had been told, James's wife had lost her pregnancy. She wanted to clear things up. Finding her mother and losing her without getting to meet her was enough punishment, she didn't want to lose her friends too.

Lily had left Luis's engagement party and was hit by a car while she was crossing the road absent-minded. Derrick rushed her to the hospital and tried to call Luis but could not get through to him so he left a message. Joseph was keeping Luis's phone and he read the message and tried to alert Aunty Rebecca but was scolded for saying negative things during a happy moment which almost led to the revelation of a big secret. Joseph appears to have bought Aunt Rebecca's explanation. Luis was going around introducing his fiancee to the gathered guests and finally came to where his small family were sitting. They all proceeded to the hospital after getting the news of Lily being sent to the hospital. Hours had gone by and still no news of Lily's condition. They all patiently waited in the patient waiting area with different thoughts running through their minds. "I don't know Lily that much but I know one thing, Luis cares so much about her. He may have chosen me over her due to the unfortu
Last Updated : 2023-03-13Lily Shawn Chapter 56: Lily in a Coma
The news of Lily's condition had reached the ears of Derrick and all who had come to see her. They all got to know that Lily was pregnant at the time of the accident and had lost the baby who was a few weeks old. She also suffered an acute cerebral haemorrhage. Although she appeared to be out of danger after the operation, the doctor had said it would take months for her to recover fully.Derrick was still standing rooted to the spot where the doctor had delivered the news of Lily's condition to him and Luis. He only moved when he saw Lily on a stretcher being moved to the intensive care unit for close monitoring. He followed them his gaze on Lily who had her head, right hand and both loved covered with a bandage with IVs attached to her. He was stopped at the entrance.Luis got closer to Derrick and placed his hand on his shoulders pulling him back to the waiting area. He walked him to the seat. Rose offered Derrick some water. Silently Derrick took the water and drank it. His father

Derrick spent the night at the hospital with Lily. He sat on the chair with his head resting on the space left on the side of Lily's bed. Rose had finally slept after their loving-making, but Luis could still not sleep. He had a lot on his mind. He blamed himself for what happened to Lily. If he had not ignored her the way he did, she wouldn't have left and perhaps she would have been fine. "Is this accident an act of revenge on Lily for killing Mrs Mingle? or Sheila and Jennifer are still after her? Or is it an accident?" Luis thought. "Wait, if it was an accident, the driver would have waited instead of driving off." he thought taking in a deep breath. His attention quickly went to Rose who moved slightly in his arms, like she wanted to get up but nestled back into his arms. He eventually closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep as tiredness took over him and nature played his role. The alarm in Rose's room started ringing. Rose got up and turned it off. She pulled the sheets

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
Lily Shawn Chapter 175: Clearing things up - Part 2
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 174: Clearing things up - Part 1
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. He pulled a se
