CHAPTER 41

LILY’S POV

Lila’s question caught me off guard. Liam’s plate almost slipped from my grasp as I was about to serve him. This was the second time she had asked this. The first time was amid Noah when he came over for dinner. I almost choked on my food and was uncomfortable around Noah throughout the entire dinner up until he left.

“Are you okay, mummy?” Liam asked in concern, seeing how disoriented I got.

“Yeah,” I took in a deep breath in an attempt to get myself back together and managed a smile before steadying my grip on Liam’s plate and keeping it on the table in front of him. “Sorry about that.”

I turned my attention to Lila as I walked back to the kitchen island, a bit infuriated with her. She can’t keep doing this and I nearly broke a plate. “We talked about this and I said no.”

“Please, mummy,” she begged softly, looking adorable as she did. “If you say yes, I promise never to bother you about anything again, and I promise to be a very good kid to Uncle Noah as well.

    CHAPTER 42LILY’S POVUpon arriving at the company building, I headed straight to Noah’s office. The suspense and anticipation that came with finding out about what he wanted to talk to me about gnawed at me, leaving me panicked and restless throughout the ride to this place.He had called severally again while I was showering and getting ready. Due to the rush, I had picked something quick to wear, not taking my time to dress the way I wanted – a simple blouse and jeans, with my hair hastily tied in a messy bun.I also had to call Nana Mae to come look after the kids for me. Even though she wasn’t supposed to work at this time of the day as she was a part-time nanny, she agreed out of the kindness of her heart. I couldn’t leave Liam and Lila alone in that house. It will be a chaotic mess by the time I get back.I tapped on Noah’s office door and at the sound of a muffled voice that said, “Come in,” I entered and gently closed the door behind me.Noah didn’t bother looking at me to a

    CHAPTER 43LILY’S POV“What?...” My eardrums slammed and my mind literally blew up from what he just said.“I’m sorry, Lily,” he said, looking away with a tight jaw and heavy heart. “You left me without a choice. I’m only following protocols. I don’t want anyone else especially in this company to find out about this. Not only will it affect the way the public and our clients see us, but it will also create a rift amongst our members. They’ll have every reason to believe I’m being biased and not following standard protocols.”The silence in the room stretched, thick and tense.The weight of his words hit me like a bullet from nowhere. For a moment, my body system stopped functioning from the impact of the shock. He can’t fire me like this. This can’t be happening to me again. I never expected it much less from someone like him. I thought he liked me. I know he was being professional, protecting the interest of his company but this wasn’t the way to go about this. He can’t fire me afte

    CHAPTER 44 LILY’S POV I had to call my best friend, Jane. I needed to tell her what happened and ask if she had any idea how Robert might have found out my location. It had been ages since we last spoke—I couldn’t even remember the last time. Since we moved here, she and her family had only come by for a visit a couple of times even though Jane had promised the kids they’d come live with us after we got settled that time I was released from prison, and we were preparing for the trip.I didn’t have any intimate friends in this place to confide in. No shoulder to cry on. Nowadays, I hardly make any friends because of how busy I am with work and the kids. In tough times like this, Jane was the only one who could console me and make me feel better. But she wasn’t around so there was every need for me to console myself before I got home. I don’t want the kids to see me like this.I turned my attention away from the window. I wanted to take my phone out of my handbag and place a call thr

    CHAPTER 45 LILY’S POV “No, you’re not,” I ground the words out from my clenched teeth. With renewed courage, I pulled forward and wrapped my elbow around his neck, caging him and stopping his intended move. I can’t die alone. If I’m going to die then he’ll also die along with me. After all, he instigated this. While he was taking off his seatbelt, he diverted his attention from the windscreen, causing the vehicle’s speed to reduce slightly. I grabbed the steering wheel and grappled with him, causing the car to screech, swerving right and left uncontrollably. “You bitch…!” He hurled a million curses at me, thrashing under my grip. I held on tight as if to strangle him, still fumbling with the steering wheel. I wanted to steer the car toward a nearby bush before we reached the edge of the bridge, which was only a short distance away, but he wasn’t making it easy for me. He was strong and I knew I wouldn’t hold on much longer. His hands shot up wildly, grabbing at the top

    CHAPTER 46 LILY’S POV I slowly opened my eyes, feeling groggy and weak as I twisted a little on the large silky surface I found myself on. My breath hitched a bit and I blinked, confused as I took in the unfamiliar surroundings I found myself. It screamed of opulence and luxury; a grand room filled with golden décor, sky-high ceiling, velvet curtains, and chandeliers that sparkled softly in the dim light. I lay on a silky, king-sized bed adorned with plush pillows and bolsters, far more luxurious than anything my body has ever rested on, and the air that enveloped me felt so crisp and light I could float away. Managing to pull my heavy body up to sit at the edge of the bed, a slight wince escaped my lips as I clutched my throbbing temple to feel a small gauze bandage over it. I also noticed plaster bandages covering various injuries on my body; both sides of my leg, the inside of my elbow and my arms. As I assessed myself, I realized I wasn’t wearing the same clothes as bef

No matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t seem to understand how I wasn’t dead and, instead, had ended up here in his house.When that taxi driver was pointing the gun at me, I was sure he pulled the trigger. Even though I looked away because I didn’t want to witness my death, I heard the shot, loud and clear before passing out. Before that happened, I had called out for help and looked around to see if there was anyone nearby but there wasn’t. So how did Noah suddenly appear from nowhere and bring me here?“Please sit,” he sat at the edge of the bed and tapped the spot beside him for me to sit, his brown button eyes so charming and gentle it could melt away the troubles that lingered in one’s heart.Slashing out a breath, I eased up a little and reluctantly sat down but at a considerable distance away from him. Just because I de

    CHAPTER 48LILY’S POV“Why are you crying? Please don’t cry…” Noah said and I realized a teardrop had escaped the corner of my left eye.Sniffling a sob and feeling embarrassed for breaking down in front of him, I tried to wipe the tear off with the back of my hand. After all that time with Robert, I had promised myself I wouldn’t cry again. While in prison, Alison had let me know crying was for the weak and faint-hearted and it never fixes any problem. She trained herself not to shed a single tear no matter the situation. I didn’t know how she managed to do it but she did.Despite my attempts to ward off the tears, I couldn’t help crying. It was as if I wasn’t in control of my emotions anymore and the tears had a mind of its own.Before I could wipe them myself, Noah reached out and used his thumb to scrape them away. He cradled my cheeks, my face fitting perfectly into the cup of his palms. We were so close I could feel his breath warm against my face, his eyes boring deep into min

    CHAPTER 49LILY’S POV~ “Can I ask you something?” I said with a cautiously gentle tone. “Anything,” he sat on the edge of the bed while holding the empty tray, all his attention focused on me. “Did you have any kids with your ex-wife and have you ever thought of remarrying?” ~A forced, dry smile crossed his face and he took a moment as if thinking of what to say. I knew I had put him in an uncomfortable spot with that question and I was starting to regret it. Fuck. What was I thinking? I shouldn’t be asking such personal questions, especially at a time like this. He might believe I was becoming interested in him or worse, what if his past relationship didn’t end so well and I might just be opening up old wounds?“You know what?” I said, turning to the other side of the bed and adjusting the duvet. “Forget I ever asked that. Thanks again for the meal. Goodnight…”“No…it’s alright,” His hand reached out to stop me from turning away. I looked at him, my eyes widening a bit in sur

After numerous rounds and detours, I had to find a spot to park to get hold of myself because I was crumbling with frustration.I recalled him saying he was getting close to my place on the phone yet I have driven around every street, every corner, every possible route but couldn’t find him.

The next thing I heard was the disturbing sound of something like metal crashing against metal, glass shattering and finally his line cut off. ~Fear gripped me like a vice. I could no longer hear my heart beating in my chest. It felt as if something had violently pulled it down to the pit of my stomach. Bringing the phone down from my ear, I stared at the screen, at the call that just ended abruptly. “I hope this isn’t what I’m thinking,” I said to myself internally as wild thoughts ran through my mind. “Robert, please be fine… Don’t do this to me…”My eyes stung with unshed tears as I quickly put the call through again. Those disturbing sounds of metals smashing against metal and glass shattering I heard before his line disconnected could only mean one thing – that he’d been involved in an accident.“No…no…no

    CHAPTER 161 LILY'S POV ~ “Aww,” glancing at his bandaged leg, she cooed and gazed at him in pity. “My little baby is injured. But don’t worry, you’ll be just fine.” A big smile spread across Liam’s face and he nodded happily. “And how did it happen?” Mrs. Juliana asked, looking at me. “What is it?” He asked enthusiastically. ~ "I don't want to talk about it," Liam said, lowering his head in shame. That moment was one I didn't want to remember at all. I was afraid, thinking I'll lose him. Thinking he won't be able to walk again if he survived. I understand if he didn't want to talk about it because I wouldn't either. Mrs. Juliana folded her lips, looking at him as if to sympathise with him. "I understand, honey," she clutched his chin gently, lifting his face to hers. "If you don't want to talk about it, no problem. I won't force you but I want to make you a promise." She shrugged lightly and looked away, a proud mischievous smile creeping into her face. "What is it?

Please you must help me reach out to him. I need to talk to him…I need to see him…I need to see my son….” ~After Robert’s mum said that, I heard footsteps behind me as someone was descending the stairs with heavy steps. I turned back to see Liam. He was limping down the stairs with difficulty.On seeing him, I quickly rushed to him, helping him. “I thought I made it clear to you not to come down the stairs without my help. Do you want to hurt yourself further?” I said, doing my best not to sound mad as I guided him down the last step and towards the sofa so he could sit.After his surgery, Liam had been using crutches and was also placed on physical therapy, which he was showing steady progress. However, due to his delicate state, he had to be on constant monitoring. As a result

A wave of relief washed over me knowing it was her and she was probably doing alright. Connecting via Bluetooth, I quickly answered the call.“Hey Lily…”“Hey Robert…”“I have something very important to tell you…” We said in unison.Realizing we both said the same thing in a nervously alarming tone, we paused, an awkward tension hanging heavy between us.Clearing my throat and trying to keep it cool, I spoke. “You first, please go ahead.”“Okay,” she took a deep breath as if to calm herself. That made me realize that whatever it was she wanted to tell me was probably very important. As a result, I kept quiet, the suspense cutting deep.“A…are you driving?” She asked, thrown off balance.“Yeah…” I said with a somewhat squeaky voice.“How can you be driving in this weather?...”“It’s nothing, I can handle it,” I said casually.But to be honest, driving in this weather

    CHAPTER 158 ROBERT’S POV I was still confused as hell. I didn’t know how it got to this. I was just seated on my own, minding my business, drowning my sorrows with a drink because I’ll be leaving anytime this week. Liam was recovering just fine and Lily was taking good care of him and Lila. There was no other reason for me to stay. It was clear they didn’t need me to survive. And I noticed that whenever I came around it made Lily feel uneasy and uncomfortable. Then all of a sudden, this mentally deranged psycho showed up, initiating a fight. I couldn’t help but wonder how Lily was able to work with this psycho for all these years with how mentally unstable he was. It was obvious he was fooling her and everyone. I could have sworn the first day I saw him I thought he was the most gentleman I had ever come across in a long time, not knowing he was a sheep in wolf clothing, a beast in human form. He played a sound recording he claimed was a make-out between him and Lily. Even

That old bitch probably hasn’t called him to tell him which was good because I don’t want him finding out at all before his death. He can find out while rotting in hell. ~I wasn’t intimidated by him as I fired on. “Well, I have everything to say to you. Stay the fuck away from Lily. You had your chance and you blew it, now she’s mine. Can’t you get into your thick empty skull that she hates you and wants nothing to do with you? Why go through all this pathetic desperation, knowing fully well she’ll never accept you?

It broke my heart and made me angrier to know that despite all that wealth that possessed, they still chose to abandon me, choosing my twin brother over me. I mean what does he have that I don’t? Who knew when my biological parents chose to abandon me? Perhaps it was right after I was born, the moment the umbilical cord was cut. Was my birth that insignificant?

    CHAPTER 155 NOAH’S POV I was adopted. Growing up, it bothered me so much that I was different. I shared no form of resemblance to my foster parents who hid the truth from me and never seemed to fit in. I didn’t even have a sibling. Back then, everyone had a sibling or a pet but I couldn’t because my so-called parents couldn’t make me one and I was fucking allergic to fur. My foster parents owned a lot of establishments and enterprises. They were filthy rich and even though they bought me whatever I wanted and never let me lack anything, they were never there for me, leaving me in the care of our maid who was dumb and stupid. The only thing she was good at was cooking and cleaning. I was a quiet, reserved kid who couldn’t properly express himself through words. You would have to know me well and pay close attention to understand me. Because of that, I had a hard time growing up because no one understood me, not even my own parents. I once suffered an accident that made me
