CHAPTER 89

LILY’S POV

~ “Lily or whatever you’re called,” she called for my attention. “I’ll tell you where your kids are only on one condition: that after you find them, you’ll leave to wherever it is you came from and never come back to this city.” ~

“I can see you’re crazy beyond reason!” Noah lashed at her, his vexation evident. “She belongs in this city. There is no way she’s leaving and you or anyone else don’t have the right whatsoever to decide that.”

“You have no say in this,” Cassandra said to him and looked at me with a corner of her lips lifting to a sinister smirk. “Let the mother decide. One thing I have noticed about you Lily all that time I spent spying on you is that you’re a possessive mother. You prioritize your kids over everything else and never want to see them suffer. The ball is in your court now. You have just this one choice to make to save them. Give me your word that you’ll leave and never come back. You can fly off to another planet for all I care. I just

    CHAPTER 90LILY’S POV~ “Miss Jones, Mr. Hills, come to the control room immediately. We’ve got a lead. I think we might have found your kids.” ~The detective’s words sounded in my ears over and over again as I stared at the camera in a daze. It was the only thing I could hear and focus on. Did they really find them? How were they able to do it? I just hope it’s really them. I looked at Noah with a glimmer of hope glistening in my eyes. The look on his face was positive and uplifting too. We quickly left the interrogation room.“No…!” I heard Cassandra’s loud and frustrated voice as she smashed her fist on the table. “Get back here! We’re not done yet. I’m the only one that can tell you where your children are...! You’re fools if you think you can find them without me. I left them in a place where no one not even the police can find them…”“That’s enough,” I heard the officer in the interrogation room say in infuriation. “I did warn you to keep your mouth shut, now you leave me wit

    CHAPTER 91ROBERT’S POV~ As my chauffeur opened the car door for me to get in, I received a phone call from Frank. Normally, in times like this when I was feeling down, I’m meant to ignore the call and perhaps switch off my phone for the rest of the day. But since it was Frank, I couldn’t help but answer it. He was my eyes and ears in the tech space in this journey towards finding Lily. He might have some good news for me.“Boss, I’ve got a new lead on how to find Lily, and this one will definitely work this time,” his confident voice boomed through the phone speaker. ~“Really?” My brows raised in slight surprise, my interest peaked as I hesitated a bit before entering the car.“Yes.” He answered enthusiastically.“Let me hear it then.” I relaxed back in the seat as the chauffeur gently closed the door. He went round and entered the driver’s seat. He ignited the engines and the car started moving, straight to my office. I couldn’t imagine the workload that would be waiting for me

    CHAPTER 92ROBERT’S POVI stared at my reflection in the mirror as I knotted my tie. I was all dressed up in my CEO attire and ready to leave for work. But I’ll have to make a stop at Jane’s place again before heading to the office.It’s been three days since I last visited and was told by her husband she left for a trip. Though the news broke my spirit as I looked forward to seeing her, I wasn’t discouraged. It’s been three days already, she should be back from her trip. I just hope she was and will be around by the time I come. That’s why I’m living this early in the morning.Her husband had wanted to know the reason I came but I didn’t tell him. This was between Jane and I. I wondered if he’d tell Jane I came looking for her. Since I didn’t tell him my reason for visiting, he’d given me this look I didn’t like. It seemed almost as if he was suspecting his wife and I were involved in some kind of extramarital affair. He’d better not think that way because, at this point in my life,

    CHAPTER 93ROBERT’ S POV~ That revelation came as a shock to her because she stared at me with her brows pulled in together and her mouth slightly open.“So you’ve been spying on me like a freak all this time?” She shot at me. ~“No…” I grimaced.“Then how do you know whether or not I visited her when she was in prison?” She pinned me on the spot with her piercing gaze.I wanted to come up with something to cover up. There was no way I could tell her Frank had been investigating her but I was just stammering all through like a fucking idiot.“You want a piece of my advice?” Her expression suddenly changed as she said, stopping me from stuttering further.“Huh…” I muttered, my brows drawing closely in confusion. Advice on what? All I needed was for her to tell me where I could find Lily and my kids. Even if it was just a word. I’ll gladly take it. Since she’d been visiting Lily while she was in prison, there was a high chance she also knew about my kids.“Don’t bother thinking abou

She had called about a minute ago with a strange number. If I hadn’t recognized her voice on the other end of the line as I hesitantly picked up the call, I would have blocked it. She was just telling me how Robert showed up in her house first thing in the morning, asking for my whereabouts. “I’m telling you,” Jane said seriously. “My husband even mentioned he came three days before, asking for me. You should have seen his face. He looked like a puppy left to die in the cold. But I know he was just putting on an act so he could get information from me.” I kept quiet, not knowing what to say. Why in the world could Robert be searching for me? Probably to finish me off along with his cruel family members. But Jane said he had a sorry look on his face but she was convinced it was an act. I didn’t want to think of the reasons he could be sea

    CHAPTER 95 LILY’S POV~ “So speaking about men,” she drawled dreamily before quickly adding. “Responsible men to be precise and not foolish ones like Robert, how is your boss doing?”“I think it’s time you got out of my phone…”“So I checked him out on IG,” she cut me off, completely ignoring me. “He’s really hot and is fast becoming one of the country’s most eligible bachelors. Now tell me Lily Jones, why don’t you want to ride that horse even though it’s coming to you!” She screamed on the phone, irritating my ear. Just then, Noah suddenly walked in on us. ~‘Oh my goodness…’ The shock of seeing him made my heart nearly fly out of my chest. I lost control as I flinched and my phone unknowingly fell from my grasp. My movements were awkward and embarrassing but quick as I reflexively caught it, preventing it from falling to the floor.I looked at Noah and a nervous smile made my lips tremble. His sudden presence when we were just talking about him had caught me unawares. He had a

    CHAPTER 96 LILY’S POV ~ Suddenly, I felt his hands, warm and soft rest on my shoulders. My breath hitched and I froze like I had been poured a bucketful of ice cubes. “Noah…” confusion had me stuttering like a fool. “What are you doing…?” ~ But then my voice trailed off as I felt his fingers sink in softly into the valley of my shoulders, kneading and massaging gently. “If you won’t agree to go then at least let me make you feel at home,” his voice came off seductively in my ears. “You know, ease off the stress a bit.” I wanted to resist because this didn’t seem right to me. But the magic of his fingers had me melting like butter under this touch so I let him continue, enjoying the heavenly feeling as my focus completely drifted to my laptop. I couldn’t remember the last time I had gone for a massage or even had a steam bath in one of those luxurious spas. It made me realize just how much I needed this. I didn’t know Noah was good at giving massages. If his fingers

    CHAPTER 97 LILY’S POV Clad in a black evening gown with a thigh-high slit, I sat on my vanity, doing my makeup after fixing my hair. I was preparing to go on a date with Noah. He’d asked me out the day after our intense hot make-out in my office. I finally agreed to give it a shot because I know I have kept him waiting for too long. He’d been asking me out for over a year now and I keep making excuses on why I can’t accept. Accepting to go on this date with him will be like my own little way of thanking him for everything he has done for me and my kids. He’ll be taking me on a dinner date in one of those fancy restaurants in the city. Deep down, I kind of wished it was something simpler like a movie date or sightseeing just I don’t have to waste this much time dressing up like I was going to contest for a beauty pageant. After finishing my makeup, I used a setting spray to make sure it stayed in place. I cast one last glance at my reflection and I was satisfied with the res

    LILY’S POV5 years later… The wedding bells rang softly in the cathedral and everyone rose to welcome me, the bride as I graced the aisle in my wedding gown which flowed like a river behind me. My face was covered with a veil, and in my hands was a delicate bouquet of white roses and baby’s breath. My arm was entwined with Frank’s who escorted me down the aisle, to the altar. After I came back to New York, he confessed to helping Scarlett sabotage me at Robert’s company fifteen years back which led to me being sacked. He asked for my forgiveness and I granted it. If he hadn’t brought up the incident, I don’t think I would have remembered because it’s been long. As sign I had truly forgiven him and my intentions towards him were good, I couldn’t think of any other person asides him to walk me down the aisle. We became closer than we were years back after that happened.. The guests were extravagantly dressed, beaming with smiles as their head turned and gazes glued to me in adm

    CHAPTER 172LILY’S POV All my life, I don’t think I have ever felt this much hatred radiate from a person. I thought Scarlett’s was intense and overbearing. But Noah’s was on a whole different level. So cold, so menacing, so consuming it chilled my spine. Just how can someone harbour this much hatred to people related to him? He had gagged me, and tied my wrist because I wasn’t making it easy for him with all my persistence and reluctance in going to which ever place he wanted me to go with him. I once heard him say we were going to Fiji, a quiet luxurious island country far from US. Not to mention he had me caged in his brutal dominance. I couldn’t move a single muscle as he pressed the muzzle of that gun against the side of my head, the cold metal reminding me that the slightest move would end it all in a heartbeat. Being at the forefront of all these, I bore the brunt of all that angst, hatred, malice, anger rolling off in waves from him and crashing against me as he shout

    CHAPTER 171 NOAH’S POV ~ You might be a lot of things son but you’re not a murderer,” father said, drawing my attention. He’d been torn and shaken to the core after I pointed the gun at his beloved wife, not knowing what to do. “You’re good,” he continued gently, careful with each word that left his lips as if afraid not to provoke me further. “I can see it in you. Just put down the gun, let’s talk things through. We have a lot of things to tell you. A lot of explanations to make. I know you think we abandoned you but we never did.” ~ He attempted to come close, taking slow cautious steps to me. “If you could just let us…” “Don’t come any close or else I’ll put a bullet through your mouth hole!” I snapped like one possessed, pointing the gun at him, my fingers gripping the handle so tight my knuckles turned white. "Did you watch me grow? Do you have any idea what I endured as a child?" I shouted, throwing the words at him like daggers, each one more vicious than the last.

I pointed my gun straight to Juliana’s head. “Now, for the final rites.” ~ “Now, for the final rites,” I said with a crooked smile curving my lips, the cold metal clicking as I cocked the gun, ready to take the shot when suddenly, Martin lunged forward, throwing himself in front of her. “No!” he shouted, voice cracking with desperation as his chest rose and fell heavily. “Don’t do this please…! If you have to kill someone, kill me instead!” Fear and panic was written all over their faces. I could even pick out the heavy, disturbing sound of their breaths as it gushed out from the lungs. Did they think the gun was for fancy? Think I won’t shes blood before I left? I whiffed out a frustrated fume, facepalming internally. This Martin was a fool indeed. Was that his genius plan all along, to step in when I wanted to kill someone so he could take the sho

    CHAPTER 169NOAH’S POV ~ “The kids now!” I returned my gaze to Juliana with a scowl. She quickly ran into the car and brought them out. ~ As Juliana brought them forward, they cowered in fear, almost on the verge of tears seeing the gun I had to the side of their mum’s head. Liam was in crunches and could barely walk properly while Lila was nervously fiddling with her hair. At the sight of them, Lily jolted as if triggered by their presence, almost freeing herself from my grip. Her muffled cries as she struggled grew louder, more disturbing and unbearable as she desperately tried to break free from my hold. “Keep quiet, woman, or else I’ll hurt them!” I snarled at her, and she became calm like a puppy, her eyes red and puffy as tears mixed with sweat dripped from her eyes and stained her cheeks. She was easy to control. All I had to do was threaten to hurt Robert, the kids, or anyone else close to her, and she’d comply. She was selfless, willing to sacrifice herself for ot

    CHAPTER 168NOAH’S POV At the hangar… Lily and I waited at my hangar for Juliana to arrive with the kids so we can be on our way. My private jet was ready and the pilot was inside waiting for us. The kids were the only ones keeping us. If it weren’t for them, I would have left with Lily hours ago. We will be leaving for a quiet luxurious island country far away like I wanted, where no one will ever find us. It’ll be like going on a vacation only that the vacation will last forever. I doubt Lily even told the kids about the idea when I first mentioned it to her because she never liked it in the first place but pretended she needed time and their permission. Juliana, how much I hate calling her name and remembering her stupid face, was already five minutes late. Over the phone while she and Lily was speaking, I made it clear to her I don’t condone lateness. It seems she wants to taste my patience. I brought a gun along. After I take the kids from her, I’m going to kill her. Fi

    CHAPTER 167 LILY’S POV I woke up feeling all groggy, like I had been out for days. Whatever sedative he injected me with must have been very strong for me to be feeling this way. Every part of my body ached and throbbed including the part between my legs as I brushed my thighs together to ease the pain and discomfort. Cradling my head, I let out a slight wince as I slowly pulled up from the bed. My vision blurred for a moment before adjusting to my surrounding. I didn’t know how long I’d been unconscious. It was hard to tell because the windows were shut, the room filled with bright, artificial lights, leaving no space for natural sunlight to come in. Then I saw him. Noah. He stood at the foot of the bed, completely unclothed with his member on full display. My breath caught in my throat, the shock of seeing him that way sobering me up completely. My brows knitted deeply, different questions racing through my head. Why was he naked in front of me? What was he planning on d

    CHAPTER 166 LILY’S POV ~ A painful trail of tears left my eyes and stained my cheek. I wiped it and looked away, not wanting him to see me in such a state. Even if he did, it wouldn’t change anything. It won’t have any effect on him. The Noah I knew was gone, replaced by a cold, heartless monster of a man. I was too dazed by this discovery to think clearly. I found it so hard to believe. I could have sworn he was good. It felt real. I was sure I wasn’t dreaming. When did he turn into this? ~ “Why are you doing this?” I choked out weakly. “What did he ever do to you?…” “He took everything from me, Lily,” he said, his expression twisted with hatred so deep it made my skin crawl. “You’ve never been in a position where someone takes everything from you without even lifting a finger. So no, I don’t expect you to understand. I’m just returning the favour.” “What could Robert have possibly taken from you for you to want him dead? I mean look at you… you’re perfect. Your life is p

    CHAPTER 165 LILY’S POV Arriving at Noah’s place, I quickly made my way to his room only to see him seated on his bedroom chair, his legs crossed on top of the table as he played with a lighter, flicking it on and off. I was shocked to see him like that. But worse, my lips thinned in exasperation as my gaze burned into him. I left everything else I was doing and drove to this place like a mad woman, almost running into a truck only to see he was in perfect condition. “How could you play with my feelings like that?” I shot at him, my expression filled with anger. “You told me you were dying. I left everything else I was doing… I nearly had a heart attack from…” “What exactly were you doing?” He cut me off with a cold, nonchalant tone, not bothering to spare me a glance as his eyes were fixed on the flame. He was looking into them with a ruthless expression as if he wanted to vent his anger by setting something ablaze. I couldn’t help but scoff in a mix of disbelief and
