CHAPTER 9

LILY'S POV

"You must be out of your mind!" Scarlett roared as she came at me fiercely from outside the door, shocked at what I just said. "How dare you blame me for your mess-up? Everyone knows this was all you. You have hated this company from the start and have been waiting for the right opportunity to paint it black. Since you deliberately did this, how sure are we you don't have other bad intentions?"

"Ever since you got into this company, all you have ever tried to do is make me look bad in front of everyone because you're jealous of me," I shot back at her. "Goodness knows I have been working my ass out for this company and will never do anything to sabotage it. You, on the other hand, don't contribute anything. Since you arrived, all you do is nothing but look pretty and follow Robert around like a puppy. There is no doubt you did this. Who helped you? Because I know you're too dumb to pull it off on your own...who helped you get access to my laptop and replace m

    CHAPTER 10LILY'S POVRobert came closer. Though I was crumbling on the inside, I strengthened and braced myself for whatever scolding I might receive. If he could lash out at me the way he did when Scarlett lied that I had hit her on the stomach, who knew what he could do now that I accused her of something this serious?"Lily..." He pronounced. I know I wasn't supposed to feel this way now but the way he called my name ignited a spark I didn't know existed inside me for some time now. I took in a deep breath, trying to maintain my feeble control as I waited for whatever it was he had for me.I realized that no matter how much he pissed me off or how far he pushed me away, no matter what he did to me, I still...loved him. I can't help loving him and I can't stop loving him. I hate him for everything he's doing to me. I hate him for not noticing me since high school. I hate him for seeing me as nothing more than his secretary and a wife to please his grandpa. Despite all that, I lo

    Chapter 11LILY’S POVI wanted to go visit my mother at the hospital but changed my mind after seeing how miserable I looked. It’ll only get her to worry about me and the last thing I wanted was for her to worry in her state especially now the doctor mentioned she was responding to treatment.I felt like a lost puppy – alone, lost and unsure of what to do next. I thought of going to the family house but after remembering Robert’s harsh words and false accusations, I quickly erased the thought. I wasn’t ready to see him again for now. I feared he might have told his family members I was on a mission to sabotage his company and steal it from him. They’ll see me as a bad person and might never accept me as a part of the family or worse, throw me out. I was already struggling to fit in. Robert might use that chance to convince his grandpa that I wasn’t the right wife for him, that I wasn’t the good, decent woman he believed me to be. If he manages to do that and his grandpa believes him,

His happiness was my top priority but with everything that happened today at the office, I just needed some time away from him.

I thought they were thieves but thieves don’t come stealing in broad daylight and my neighbours would have alerted the police if they were.

    CHAPTER 13 ***Please note all the chapters of the book are written from Lily's point of view unless stated otherwise.*** My breath caught and my hand instinctively ran up against my mouth to hold back the gasp about to escape. I was in a rush to leave for work this morning so I forgot to hide the pregnancy test result. I had left it on top of the nightstand. Now he’s found it. Something I promised never to let him find out about till the time was right. How could I been so forgetful and careless? This is bad…very bad. My heart was pounding against my rib cage. I tried but unsuccessfully to steady it as I lifted my gaze to meet Robert’s raging eyes. I don’t think I have ever seen him this angry. Normally, couples are supposed to celebrate the news of pregnancy especially if it has taken a long time to come. Any husband will be happy about this. Any husband but Robert. Was pregnancy really that bad a thing for him? Did he despise it, or did he just hate the thought of me carr

    Chapter 14With that said Robert turned and made his way to the door. But I said something that dragged back his attention.“So it’s okay for Scarlett to be pregnant with your child but not me?” I asked with painful tears that hurt my eyes streaming down my face.“What did you just say?” He turned and asked, his brows knitting in sharply like he didn’t hear me correctly.Trying to maintain a tough demeanour, I vigorously wiped the tears off my face and tried to blink away my tears. I looked at him directly in the eyes. “I know everything. From how you got her pregnant and have been sleeping with her behind my back to your plans to get rid of me once your grandpa is no more and this contract marriage is over,” I scoffed in disbelief, that feeling of hurt and betrayal I felt when Scarlett told me all this creeping back into me. “I know you don’t love me like I love you, Robert but the last thing I expected you to do is betray me like this. All these years all I have done is stay true a

    Chapter 15The TV was playing and the noise that came with people talking and walking around could be heard as I was seated in the waiting room of the hospital. But I barely paid attention to any of that as I was drowned in my thoughts. Robert’s hurtful words and the doctor’s message last night daggered my mind, leaving me feeling very anxious and uneasy. The thought of having this abortion only made it worse. I hadn’t done it before and didn’t know what to expect. As much as it scared the hell out of me, it was the only way I could get the money I needed to save my mother. I had to report back to Robert later in the day with the proof of the abortion procedure for him to give me my monthly paycheck for the contract marriage agreement. I couldn’t wait to get the procedure over with so I could go see how my mother was doing and give Robert what he wanted.Last night after Robert left, those men came back and carried the remaining furniture in the apartment which was my bed.

    Chapter 16Someone tell me I’m dreaming. Tell me this isn’t true. Robert can’t be dead. He just can’t. I had just seen him yesterday. Even though he rejected my love and treated me cruelly and harshly, I still loved him with all my heart and didn’t want him gone at all. I had grown so attached to him I could barely go a day without seeing him and knowing how he was doing even though he might not want to do the same for me.I couldn’t seem to understand how someone could have done something this heartless and pinned it on me. He didn’t have any enemies that I knew of. The last thing I’ll do on this earth is kill someone, much less the father of my unborn child. The love of my life. My lifelong crush. If the police had come for me, that meant the news had probably gone viral. What will his family and the entire city think of me now? What do I tell my child when he grows up and wants to know what happened to his father?My head was bowed low in despair as the police car sped through. I h

    CHAPTER 17“What is your relationship with Mr. Ronald Wilson?”I swallowed a lump around my throat to find my speech coherence. “He is the grandfather of my husband. As such my grandfather-in-law.”She scribbled on her notepad and continued.“Do you perhaps have some personal grudge against him maybe because of a past conflict or disagreement?”Her question caught me off guard. Grimacing in confusion, I stammered, trying to reiterate my point, “No…no, I don’t. Why would I hold a grudge against a man who has been so good to me from the very first day he set his eyes on me…”“I don’t know,” she shrugged nonchalantly. “You tell me.”She was taking this the wrong way. Robert’s Grandpa and I have been on good terms right from the start. He was my late grandpa’s best friend. The long-standing promise they made to each other before my grandpa died was the only reason I got the chance to be this close to Robert as his wife after all those years of not seeing him and being far away from him.

    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

    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

    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

    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

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.
