CHAPTER 60

LILY’S POV

After giving the two men a thorough look, I realized I certainly didn’t need help from people like them. They looked like rascals, dangerous ones at that. One had a thick cigarette caught between his stained teeth, polluting the air with the smoke and the other had bloodshot eyes like he hadn’t slept in days or was high on something. They even had grotesque tattoos scribbled carelessly on their faces and also had this dirty smirk as they looked at me that made my skin crawl in disgust.

“No, thank you. I appreciate the offer, but I just called my husband. He’s on his way,” I said as politely as possible, masking the nervous tension rising in my chest and pretending to wait for someone.

“Ooooh,” the one with a cigarette in his mouth said, feigning a playful shock as he glanced at the other one. “The hot chick is married.”

“Certainly didn’t see that coming,” the one with bloodshot eyes replied, equally looking surprised. He licked his lips menacingly like a predato

    CHAPTER 61LILY’S POV ~This was exactly what landed Allison, my cellmate in prison – she killed a drunkard who tried to force himself on her by ruining his balls and marring him beyond recognition with a screwdriver. Being faced with a similar situation now, I couldn’t blame her. In fact, she did a great job giving that monster the death punishment he deserved. And I was prepared to do the same to these two filthy bastards. ~The only problem now was that I had no weapon on me to kill them; no gun, no knife or even pepper spray and I wasn’t on heels. Heels were deadly weapons especially when used on the neck or head. I could have easily improvised with it but I was on a pair of white sneakers I had managed to find while scrambling for things to wear at Noah’s place.In this type of situation, close hand-to-hand combat wasn’t advisable. They had the number advantage and were tall and like thrice my size. Even if it were possible, I wasn’t so skilled at it. I could only throw a few pu

    CHAPTER 62LILY’S POV“Stay the fuck away from her if you still value your lives.” The voice was stern and sharp, like a blade slicing through air. It sounded familiar.“What?” Bloodshot eyes asked confusedly as he left me and focused his attention towards the sound source. The other one who had his hands pressing down on me did the same.Seizing that opportunity, I gathered what was left of me and sought refuge by the side of the car. Looking ahead, I was able to make out Noah’s imposing silhouette from the shadows. He had this ferocious look on his face like an Alpha beast on the brink of going feral. Tightly clutched in his hand was a spiked metal bar, radiating a deadly determination that could send shivers down one’s spine. I wished we could just find a way to escape. I didn’t want him getting involved with these scoundrels for fear of them hurting him. If that happens, it’ll be all my fault and I won’t be able to forgive myself.“Let me guess, pretty boy,” Bloodshot Eyes sneer

    CHAPTER 62LILY’S POVNoah’s car was just a short distance ahead. We didn’t have to run much. As we hastily got in and fastened our seatbelts, he started the engine and drove off like one possessed with the desperate need to survive.For several minutes, we drove in silence, the both of us replaying the horror of what just happened in our heads though I was affected more as I was still in shock. I still couldn’t believe I almost got raped by two high rascals in a lonely street. Just the thought of what could have happened if Noah hadn’t arrived made icy shivers run through me, leaving me shaken and battered on the inside.I felt so ashamed that I found it hard to meet Noah’s eyes. Though I could feel his concerned, pitying gaze flicker toward me every so often as he drove. He was also checking his side mirror repeatedly to make sure no one was following us.I looked out the window to distract myself and seek serenity but my attempt was futile despite the beautiful sights and structur

If I had just followed the main road and waited through the traffic, I wouldn’t have crossed paths with those bastards. Now look what they’ve done to me. What if they got to me and something worse happened, what will I tell my kids? Who will take care of them?...” My tears choked me and I found it hard to continue speaking. Nonetheless, I struggled past the barrier, desperate to make my point known. Desperate to let out all that was eating me alive on the inside though my voice was shaking and unsteady.“Ever since we met, all I have done is drag you into my mess. You suspended Cassandra, one of the company’s important workers because of me. You risked your life twice now to save me. You probably have important matters to attend to but instead, you’re here with me. I’m really scared Noah… What if we don’t get lucky next time? Wha

This only added to my fear and suspicion, a confusing mix of anger and heartbreak but mostly heartbreak making my heart quake in my chest. If Noah turns out to be behind these attacks, I don’t think I could bear the pain of the betrayal.

    CHAPTER 66 LILY’S POV As I stared at that figurine, the gory image of me grabbing it and driving into the side of Noah’s neck over and over again before burying it there as blood flushed out filled my head, darkening my thoughts. I wanted to hurt him back. To retaliate most brutally. I wanted him to feel the tremendous amount of pain his betrayal had caused me. But in the wake of the moment, I realized I couldn’t do it. No matter how much I wanted to, how badly I wanted to force myself to grab the figurine and get this over with, I just couldn’t. I was helpless against him. The memory of all he had done for me, the good times we shared with my kids lit up in my mind, engulfing that dark thought. All I could manage to do was push him away which seemed easy because he wasn’t using much effort to hold me back. I landed a slap on his right cheek before yielding to the compulsive sobs that shook me like a violent earthquake, the tears in my eyes falling in torrents down my cheeks

    CHAPTER 67ROBERT’S POVThe noisy buzzing of my phone disrupted my sleep as I groaned loudly in frustration upon waking up. I usually switch off my phone before going to bed to avoid disturbances such as this. But last night I was so tired and forgot to do that. Now my sleep was ruined, and it wasn’t even 7 a.m. yet.Who could be calling at such early hours of the morning? I just hoped it wasn’t Carrey. At this point, I don’t think I can take any more devastating news of the company losing another client or learning we’d gone lower in the ad agency rankings.Blindly, I reached across the bed for my phone which was on top of the nightstand, knocking down a few things as I did. Not bothering to check the caller ID, I answered the call and with a frustrated, sleep-deprived tone asked, “What is it?...”“Boss I finally found her!” Frank’s overexcited voice boomed through the phone speaker.“What?...” My eyes widened, the drowsiness in them suddenly vanishing like it was never there.

    CHAPTER 68 ROBERT’S POV ~ I shot Frank a furious glare and slashed out a sharp breath, not saying anything. I returned my attention to Lily and took off the small sack bag covering her face only for my jaw to drop on seeing her. ~ “Please I’m sorry…” she pleaded desperately with eyes that were red and swollen from too much crying and dishevelled hair that plastered on her face due to sweat. “Spare my life… Don’t kill me…I didn’t mean to do it…” My brows furrowed deeply in confusion as I stared at her, scrutinizing every inch of her features. After giving her a thorough look, I concluded that the woman shivering and whimpering before me wasn’t Lily but someone else. Though she shared some sort of resemblance with Lily especially in terms of facial structure as they both had a delicate heart-shaped face that could easily fit into the cup of my hands, she was anything unlike Lily. The Lily I knew, my Lily had thick ebony black hair that always tumbled carelessly along her ba

Turning the door, he grabbed the handle and jerked it open only to nearly collide with the company security guard who was standing by the doorway. I didn’t get what he was doing standing there. Was he eavesdropping on our conversation? ~For a split second, I thought he was but he wasn’t. In his hands was an extravagant bouquet of deep red roses, along with a sleek, elegant envelope. The sight of it made the air between us three tense and awkward.“Miss Jones, this just came in for you,” The security guard said, bringing it forward to hand it over to me.“Thank you…” My brows furrowed as I hesitantly accepted it. He bowed slightly before leaving. I closed my door and walked to my table, keeping the bouquet on it. Noah didn’t leave my office again like he wanted to. Instead, he followed closely behi

    CHAPTER 104LILY’S POVThe next day I went to work earlier than usual. I couldn’t sleep properly last night because of what Nana Mae had told me yesterday. It kept ringing in my head over and over again. I spent the entire night restlessly rolling around on the bed and going to the kids’ room to check up on them.Was I feeling this miserable and angry because I was still in love with Robert? He was my high school crush, the only man I had truly opened my heart to, the man who took my virginity, the father of my children. Were all that truly the reasons I was finding it hard to forget him? Because of this unbreakable connection we share.No…no…no… I was restless as I pushed my chair back away from my table where I was working on my laptop. I couldn’t focus on work. Since yesterday, I couldn’t bring myself to focus on anything. I can’t stop thinking of Robert and that stupid look on his face. He said he wanted to tell me something but I didn’t give him the chance. What did he want to t

    CHAPTER 103LILY’S POV~ I lifted my head and looked at her. “What about Liam?”“He’s playing a video game in his room.”I smiled, glad he was doing well. But didn’t he hear the sound of the glasses shattering? It was loud enough and could even be heard from outside the house. Since Nana Mae was coming from upstairs on hearing it, that meant he too must have heard it. Why didn’t he come rushing downstairs? Was she sure he was really upstairs in his room or was there something she wasn’t telling me? ~“I know what you’re thinking,” Nana Mae said as if she could read my mind. “You don’t have to worry. He has earphones on. He didn’t hear anything. And I think he’ll probably take a nap when he’s done playing to rest his eyes.”I sighed in quiet relief on hearing that. The eye doctor had mentioned that the antibiotics she prescribed would make him feel drowsy and inactive for a while, so it was important to let him rest and take time off school as needed. I fell silent, staring into sp

    CHAPTER 102LILY’S POVAfter I got out of the taxi, I quickly rushed into the house. I slammed the door shut and pressed my back against it as though I just encountered something horrifying. That horrifying thing was Robert. I broke down in sobs that I had been holding back all through the ride as I screeched my back against the door and crumpled hopelessly on the floor. I tried to hold back my outburst as Liam was probably upstairs in his room and I didn’t want him to hear me crying. But my sharp intake of breath was making it extremely difficult.Shaking my head in agony, I managed to get a grip and pushed myself up. I dragged myself to the refrigerator in the kitchen. I pulled its door open and rummaged through but didn’t find what I was looking for. A frustrated groan escaped my lips as I slammed it shut and checked the shelves but still couldn’t find it.I was desperately searching for a strong alcoholic drink to drown the storm of emotions raging inside me and hope it would som

He must have been slapped by his whore.” ~“Not only is his agency sinking lower than the gutter in the rankings, but he’s also stooped so low as to resort to screwing desperate whores and dragging them into professional meetings like this.”Their sniggering voices and prickly comments had me baring my teeth, hissing at them. I wanted to find whoever made the last comment and gouge his eyes from their sockets

I’m not the same Lily from nine years back. If you fuck around with me I’ll show you the other side of me. And if you ever think of following me, I’ll call the police on you and make sure you taste what it feels to be locked behind bars.” Lily barked at me and slapped me. A powerful one at that. No one has slapped me this hard before. In all my time of knowing her, I have never seen her this angry. She was always calm and collected even in the worst of situations. But now, it was as if a wild beast of anger and hatred had been festering inside her all these years and saw this as the perfect opportunity to unleash its ferality. I held my cheek where she had slapped me. It was throbbing with pain yet I was oblivious of it. I just held it and continued staring at her, almost on the brink of tears as I

    CHAPTER 99 LILY’S POV My heels went click clack as I raced into the building which was the venue for the meeting. I was almost breathless and flustered as I was running dangerously late. The meeting was scheduled to hold at 10:00 am but it was 10:30 already. In important meetings like this, every company representative needed to arrive early. I didn’t want anyone looking down on me as if I were unprofessional, and Noah wouldn’t be happy with me if I missed it. I woke up this morning only for Liam to come complaining to me he was feeling pain around his right eye. I checked it to see a boil growing inside, under the base of his eyelids. Because of that, he couldn’t go to school which resumed for a new session today. I had to take him to the eye doctor. That was what made me arrive late. However, upon entering the boardroom where the meeting was held, I was fortunate and relieved to see they were about to start. Everyone was taking their seats. I didn’t expect to see this man

Noah was holding out a small opened black box towards me. Inside the box was an expensive-looking diamond ring beautifully sitting on the plush casing. ~ The fork I was holding fell from my grasp as I froze. My eyes which were large from my shock locked unto Noah’s. He had a dreamy smile spread across his face. “Lily Jones, meeting you and spending time with you has been some of the best moments of my life. You are the perfect woman for me, and I want what we share to last forever. So I ask, will you make the happiest man on earth by agreeing to marry me?” The question reverberated in my head over and over again. I felt like I was caught in a daze. Like my reality was twisted or something. What could possibly make him think I was ready for marriage? What made him think I was the perfect woman for him? Was it

    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
