Lily Shawn Chapter 96: Marriage Certificate
At Derrick's Residence, Derrick got out of the car and the driver drove the car into the garage to park. He made his way to the front door still thinking about the conversation he had had with Derry earlier. He was getting excited knowing something was about to change. Just before he could open the door, he remembered the DNA test results that said he was the father of the child Lyla was carrying."There is no way that could be tempered with, she didn't even know I was going to do that," Derrick thought, and his expression turned cold.He entered the house, changed his shoes, and proceeded to his study. His hand was on the doorknob about to open it when he heard a voice from behind him."Hey, you are back," came Lily's joyful voice.Derrick quickly snapped out of his thoughts and changed his cold expression to a happy one. He turned to face Lily with a smile."Hey, yeah, just getting in," Derrick announced with a smile."What is wrong?" Lily asked not fooled by the fake smile on Derric

Lyla and her aunt stood in the living room looking at the scene before them.Derrick checked the date on the marriage certificate. It was the same day he had accompanied Lyla to the hospital for her antenatal. So how could they have gotten married if they were both at the hospital? Lily's voice interrupted his thoughts"Derrick, when were you going to let me in on all of this?" Lily questioned in tears."Believe me, Lily, I know nothing about this. I didn't sign this. I was never there," Derrick defended in one breath still standing, but his gaze was on Lily."Okay, the date on the certificate, was last Tuesday. That day I remember you left home early. I know you didn't go to the office because Marcus was here to pick you up. Where did you go?" Lily questioned, trying to hold back her tears.Lyla and her aunty made themselves comfortable watching the two argue about the marriage certificate."I took Lyla to the hospital for her checkup. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to hurt y

Derrick started his story starting from what happened in California."Well, I decided to take my love, Lily, on a vacation. She had an accident and was recuperating. We figured a change of environment would help a lot. We went to California. On one of our outings, I ran into Lyla. This is where it all started," Derrick narrated half drunk."Lyla?" Derry repeated the name recalling the woman he had fallen in love with also called Lyla. " The woman I love is called Lyla. I met her in California. Are we talking about the same person?" Derry asked surprised."Yes. It is the same person we are talking about. Lyla, that daughter of Jezebel. She is out to destroy me," Derrick confirmed for Derry almost in tears as he had Luis had already told him about Lyla and Derry. "If I were you, I wouldn't give my heart to that monster," he said with an angry expression. She would put it in a blend and grind it. She is obsessed with me," he added."Calm down. You are drunk." Derry tried to calm Derrick

The rest of the journey was done in silence as Derry processed what Derrick said and Derrick thought of how to prove his innocence to Lily and what to do with two pregnant women in his apartment."I need to see Luis and find out the latest update on the investigation," Derrick thought.He made a decision and broke the long silence in the car."Derry, I would need you to drop me off at a friend's place," Derrick requested and Derry instructed the driver to turn around as Derrick gave him Luis's house address.Derrick pulled his phone out of his pocket and first called Marcus to inform him he would not be coming to the office and after he called Rosy and equally informed her, he wouldn't come to the office. Rosy suggested to Derrick to come over to her house later in the day, so they talk, to which Derrick agreed.Derry dropped Derrick at Luis's and drove off. He was still thinking about everything Derrick had told him in the car earlier. He asked the driver to stop the car, which the dr

Derry stared at her, not blinking for a while. He got up from his seat and joined hers. Lyla moved away from him putting a distance between them, but he drew closer, and she kept moving away, as he kept drawing closer until the armsrest of the sofa stopped her from moving any further."Wait, what are you trying to do?" Lyla asked realizing she couldn't move any further."Lyla," Derry mentioned her name seductively staring into her eyes. "I don't care if this baby is mine or not," he paused, put some space between them and shifted his gaze to the centre table.He had hoped the child was his. Then he could have used that as an excuse to be with her."I love you, Lyla. I love you," Derry said in a muffled voice looking down.Lyla stared at him for a while unable to blink. His words echoed in her head."You love me?" Lyla asked in bewilderment.No one had ever said those words to her before. Her crush has always been Derrick, since her school days, but he had never paid her any attention a

Lyla came out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe and a towel on her head to dry her hair. Her phone rang and she dropped the towel at the back of the study chair and searched her bag for her phone as her hair flowed down her shoulder partly dried.She checked the screen, and it was Derry calling. She stared at his name flashing on her phone screen and she sat on her bed in frustration. She rubbed her temple and covered half of her face with her palm. The call dropped but before she could toss the phone away it started ringing again. It was Derry. She rolled her eyes and decided to answer the call."What do you want?" she said impatiently."Hey, love, slow down. What happened?" Derry asked with concern."Nothing, it's just that, this can't continue," Lyla retorted."First things first, I called to find out if you are safely home. You wouldn't let my driver drop you," Derry said with concern."Yes, that is because I don't want anyone to know I was with you," Lyla retorted."You want our

Derrick responded with a "hmm" and kissed the top of Lily's head."It will be good to go to the hospital first," Derrick said in a low voice and Lily nodded.Derrick got up from the seat and went to his desk to retrieve his phone. Lily was left sitting on the sofa in a daze still thinking about Aunt Nora and if she was okay. Derrick made a call to the hospital and quickly booked an appointment for 3 p.m. It was an hour away. Lily lay on the sofa resting her head on her hand. Looking at the time, Derrick decided to get some work done before they set off for the hospital.Back at home, Lyla decided to take a walk around the house and also make a call."Hello," Lyla said as soon as the call connected."Hi, how are you?" came Mr Mingle's voice."I am not okay. It appears whatever we are doing is not having an impact on Derrick and Lily. The idea is for me to have Derrick but currently, I feel like one of the decorations in the house," Lyla complained."That is because you are not playing y

"Step 1, come clean drama complete," she thought smiling ear to ear about how things turned out."Now all I need to do is butter it up," she said and lay flat on the bed with a big smile plastered on her face.Inside the bedroom, Derrick sat on the chair behind a table working on some documents while Lily still slept. It was 10 a.m. when Lily eventually woke up and Derrick called the servants to bring her breakfast. He sat with her as she ate and went back to continue with his work as Lily went to take a shower. After dressing up, she returned from the bathroom and joined him to get some office work done as she did not want to sit idly.Lyla on the other hand, went to the kitchen and the servants were surprised she was not rude to them and even requested if she could help with the cooking. They were all shocked and neither of them could react for a long time."Hey, I just want to help," Lyla said sounding honest but they were still surprised. "I know I have been very mean to all of you

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
