CHAPTER 84

LILY’S POV

“NO!!!...” I kept screaming, whipping my face from side to side as my entire body quivered uncontrollably. “Don’t take them away from me… Please don’t hurt them…they’re just kids…”

Shivers ran through me as I felt beads of sweat and goosebumps pop out all over my skin, perhaps due to the heat from that intense fire. I felt a pair of strong hands pressing my shoulders down against the surface to stop me from moving.

Believing it was Robert, I forcefully slid my eyes open to push him away and throw him a punch only to realize it was Noah.

“It’s okay, Lily,” he calmed me, holding me down by the shoulders to keep me from thrashing around. “It’s not real. It’s just a dream. You’re safe, okay?”

I stared at him, wide-eyed and confused, as he kept reassuring me that I was safe. Glancing around, I realized I was still in the hospital. The steady beeping of the heart monitor and the hum of other medical machines filled the room. Outside, I could hear the faint voices of pe

    CHAPTER 85LILY’S POV~ He nodded and made his way towards the door. On reaching the door, he stopped and then turned his attention back to me as though he forgot to mention something. “Miss Jones?”“Yeah…” I answered.“You’re a hero.” ~“Uhh…” My brows drew together in confusion as I wondered what he was talking about. Why was he calling me a hero? I don’t remember doing anything heroic.“You’re a hero, Mrs. Jones,” he said again, looking at me with proud eyes as a warm smile spread across his face. “Because of your quick thinking and defensive skills, we not only saved the patient in room 305 but also apprehended the woman posing as a nurse who intended to harm him. On behalf of the entire staff and management of this hospital, thank you. We will always be grateful for what you did.”I was taken aback by his commendation. I didn’t realize that was the reason he was referring to me as a hero. If only he knew the real reason I had come to this hospital then he won’t be referring to

    CHAPTER 86LILY’S POV~ “The fake nurse,” he blew out a heavy sigh, his expression turning bleak. “It’s Cassandra. She has your kids.” ~My brows furrowed as I tried to remember the name. “You mean Cassandra from the company?”Noah nodded calmly. “What?...” I couldn’t contain the level of shock I felt as my mouth fell open. “What in the world could Cassandra be doing with my kids?”Noah half shrugged and let out a sigh. “I’m as surprised as you, Lily. I didn’t see this coming at all. She didn’t reveal much during the interrogation. She said she won’t talk further until she’s gotten her attorney and seen you. But one thing is certain—she has your kids. She took them from the park and has been the person behind all the attacks against you. The taxi driver confirmed it this morning after regaining some consciousness and learning you saved his life. He admitted that she paid him to drive you off the bridge. I’m also certain she’s the one who anonymously sent your prison records to my do

    CHAPTER 87LILY’S POV ~ She started laughing like a psycho, her voice like fingernails clawing on a chalkboard. “They’re safely locked away in a dark, empty basement where you’ll never find them. I must say they’re adorable little pies, but their endless whining and crying for their mummy nearly drove me insane. I can’t imagine the number of times I was this close to ending their miserable lives. But I can’t do that, no, no, no, not without you watching. Once my attorney gets me out of this shit hole, I’ll take you with me. And then, I’ll make you watch as I take away those precious things in your life, just like you took away mine.” ~My eyes widened in horrific shock as I stared at Cassandra, a cold shiver of fear running down my spine. With her sickening laughter and the blood trickling down her nose and into her mouth, colouring her teeth, she was like a demonic spirit that fed on chaos and misery.If she had my kids locked away in a basement that meant they were alone, scared a

    CHAPTER 88LILY’S POV~ As I looked into his eyes, I could see the heart-rending tenderness and genuineness in his gaze. With a heavy sigh, I wrapped my hands around my elbows and leaned against the wall. Since he said I should trust him, I had no other choice but to do that. After all, he had this uniquely calm way of approaching problems that always seemed to work. For now, I could only rely on that and believe he would bring my kids back to me. ~Noah turned towards the camera. “I apologize on her behalf, Detective Adams. Please let her stay. I promise it won’t happen again.”“Very well then,” the speaker sounded. “To ensure it doesn’t happen again, the officer will be present throughout the interrogation. Any act of violence won’t be tolerated. We’ll restart shortly after the suspect’s wounds are attended to.”Shortly after the detective made that announcement, a short female medic a little younger than me with a calm demeanour came into the room and tended to Cassandra’s wounds

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

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

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,

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

    CHAPTER 101ROBERT’S POV~ “Who does he think he is?” “We’re all CEOs, he’s no better or richer than us.” “What makes him think he can just walk in and out of this boardroom like he owns the place after that cringe episode with that lady?” “I bet he wooed her to his bed and fucked her and now, she had come to her senses, realizing what an arrogant jerk he is.” “If he feels he’s way above our league and can’t sit down to listen to what the chairman has to say then he should have continued fucking his whore and not bothered coming.” “Why is the side of his cheek red? 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

    CHAPTER 100 ROBERT’S POV “Don’t you dare call that name again! You lost the right to do that nine years ago. Stay the fuck away from me and keep pretending I don’t exist to you. 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

  • Pregnant For My Billionaire Crush   The Meeting

    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

    CHAPTER 98 LILY’S POV ~ I picked up the fork and strengthened myself up. I was about to hand it to him when the sight that greeted me had my jaw falling to the table. 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
