Lily Shawn Chapter 76: Don't work yourself up
Lily went with Victor to the stadium and agreed to play a football match. It was fun for them as the whole team was served Lily's favourite dish, lasagna. Just like that, the day was gradually going by for Lily. Derrick, on the other hand, was still furious with Lyla for ruining his night with Lily. He warned her about what he would do if he didn't find Lily. Lily, David, and Victor visited a popular restaurant and had lunch there. David left after, leaving Victor and Lily. "Lily, would you like to talk about the last night?" Mr McClean asked.Lily's smile froze and she lowered her head."I can understand how you feel, but sometimes talking about it helps ease your pain and who knows you will get good suggestions on how to deal with it. A problem shared is a problem solved, or half solved," he said. "that is better than nothing at all," he added.Lily sighs and narrates the night event to Victor, and he listens attentively without interrupting till Lily finishes her story."This doe

Tears rolled down Lily's cheeks and he wiped them with his thumb, kissed both eyes and hugged her tightly."Would you be my girl?" Derrick whispered.Lily nodded a yes and allowed him to place the ring on her finger. It was a beautiful ring with three diamond stones."How about we hold an engagement party tomorrow?" Derrick said smiling."Let's give ourselves some time. I know you said we are already a couple, but for me, this feels like we are now getting to know each other. In my heart, I want to be with you, but I will also need time to get to know you better," Lily requested.Derrick smiled and touched her cheeks affectionately"I am ready to wait for you. No matter how long it takes," Derrick said with a smile, leaned forward, and kissed her forehead.Lily, accepting the ring, to him means she wants to be with him just as he wants to be with her. He just needs time to win her love a hundred per cent. He had lost her twice; he was not planning on losing her again. As soon as she is

Lyla smiled as she relaxed on the bed.Derrick's apartment, 6 in the morning; Victor was already awake, and the driver had gotten the car ready for them to leave. He was supposed to return to New York City as his work in California was done.Lily and Derrick escorted him to the airport and bid him goodbye, thanking him for helping them fix their problem. He gave them his business card and asked them to stay in touch.Derrick and Lily left the airport returning to Derrick's apartment. They had planned to go back to Paris the next day. Derrick needed to return to work. There was silence in the car as they drove back to the apartment. Derrick broke the silence."My love, how about we eat breakfast out? What do you say?" he said and turned to stare at Lily briefly before turning to focus on the road."I like Isabella's fruit salad," Lily whined and gave him a pitiful look."I like it too. Let's do it this way. We take breakfast out and go home for Isabella's fruit salad," Derrick suggested

Rose lifted her head to look at Luis. He kissed her forehead and embraced her."Rose, I love you too," Luis said in a gentle voice without hesitation.The day they broke off their engagement, he realized he was in love with her. Initially, he engaged her because he felt he took something precious away from her by accident and he might as well take responsibility for his actions.His love life had not been that good as it never ended well with all the women he chose to be with. The last one left him with a son, and he was put in a mental institution for a while. This is why his son is living a lie that his parents are dead, and he is his uncle. Luis made up his mind to give himself another chance at love.Rose also decided to give herself a chance to be loved. She missed the man who was treating her like his wife, and she wanted him back. She felt some calmness within her while Luis embraced her. She wrapped her hands around him too. The night became magical as they both drowned each ot

Mr Mingle has invited Derrick to his house and per Lily's persuasion, Derrick went to see his father. His father presented him with an envelope. He opened it and the content didn't make sense to him. It was a pregnancy test report for Lyla with details stated Lyla was six weeks pregnant. Lyla walked into the room while Derrick was still lost in his thoughts and snapped him out of his thoughts with a greeting.Derrick turned his gaze in the direction of Lyla. She was standing next to the sofa with her hand on her flat belly. She sat down on the sofa next to Mr Mingle. He shifted his gaze from Lyla back to his father."Dad, I swear I didn't touch her. It's not me. Believe me," Derrick said sounding very alarmed by the news.Lyla let out a cry like she had been wrong."Derrick, why are you denying it? Is it because you were drunk? Have you forgotten how you forced yourself on me?" Lyla cried.Mr Mingle comforted her and turned an angry gaze towards Derrick."Derrick if you said you didn't

The fifteen-minute drive to his apartment felt like forever. Derrick's mind kept going over the conversation with his father and Lyla's pregnancy."How do I prove my innocence? I did not touch her," Derrick thought running his hand through his hair."How do I explain this to Lily? She will never believe me. How does this keep happening?" he thought"Six weeks pregnant. Did something happen between us?" he questioned himself. "No, I would have known. DNA is the solution. Yes DNA," he concluded.He drove into the compound of his apartment in fifteen minutes as he had promised Lily. The house was quiet, and all the lights were off except for the light in their bedroom. He knew Lily was awake. He took a deep breath and walked towards the bedroom. He climbed the staircase and just a couple of steps away from the bedroom he stopped. He stood there for a while and rather went into his study. He shut the door behind him and sat behind his desk. He sat there for a while not sure what to do. He
Last Updated : 2023-03-28Lily Shawn Chapter 82: Request for DNA test
Derrick needed a solution to his problem ASAP. Searching his mind for someone who could help and also keep his secret safe, his confident Rosy came to mind.Luis was the best choice but his friendship with Lily makes it a bad idea to speak with him. Convinced with his choice, Derrick left his apartment without informing Lily and he proceeded to Rosy's apartment. Same neighbourhood but a different street. Before knocking on Rosy's door, he tried to recall everything he could from the night meant for Lily.He woke up with just his trousers on, he did have love bites all over himself including places he never expected. Lyla had no clothes on. He was incredibly angry so he did not pay any attention to her skin. Now, he is unable to tell if she had a love bite made on her or not. He was now doubtful of himself. He can't remember anything, what if something did happen between them that night? These were the thoughts running through Derrick's mind.As early as 5 a.m., Derrick was already ou
Last Updated : 2023-03-29Lily Shawn Chapter 83: Lyla gets Derrick's attention
Derrick had spent half of his day in Rosy's apartment talking about the situation he found himself in. Rosy advised him not to tell his woman. She further advises him to get close to Lyla and run a DNA when the pregnancy is more than three months old to confirm if he is the father. This suggestion sounded good to Derrick, so he felt calmer. He felt the burden on his shoulders lifted with the provided solution. All he needs now is time. He returned home to find Lily waiting for him in the living room."My love, where have you been?" Lily asked as soon as Derrick entered the house and came face-to-face with her in the living room."I am sorry, I went jogging and met a friend and we spoke for a while," Derrick explained, and Lily sighed."You could have called me. I was worried. I called Marcus; I called your dad..." Lily said and Derrick interrupted her."You call my father?" Derrick said almost raising her voice at her."Yes, I..." Lily replied taking a step back, seeing the anger on hi

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
Lily Shawn Chapter 177: Live Streaming - Part 1
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
