"You will stay here" he said, taking the paper from her after signing it. She knew she would have to, since they were legally married. But not now. She couldn't ignore the pain in her head anymore.

His palm came down to her forehead. His hand felt so cold.

"You have a fever. What were you doing in the rain" Her tongue stole out to wet her dry lips. Edward shut his eyes. This girl! She had no idea of the effect she had on him. He took in a deep breath to calm himself down. He wasn't the type to lose control. She told him everything. It had his blood boiling as he wished he could wring their necks. He went to get some painkillers and water.

"Here" he stretched it out to her. She didn't take it, only stared at nothing in particular.

"Yesterday was mum's memorial, and he doesn't even remember. Sometimes, I really wonder if I am his daughter" she turned to Edward. "He doesn't treat me like one"

"Take this first. You can talk later" he placed the pills in her palm and she finally took it,

    His expression became more horrible as seconds passed, like he could not believe it. Of course, he couldn't."Screwing your girlfriend's sister. The nerve, huh?""Look, I can explain" his haughty attitude had vanished. She wore a lopsided smile."There's no need for that. Have a fantastic day" He tried to grab it, but she dodged, hurrying out of the house, leaving Jayden as white as a sheet. "Hello guys" she felt like a massive burden had been lifted off her shoulder as she entered her studio. Their replies were a little off, but she shrugged it off. She was in her office when she noticed the weird looks they were giving her. Dana especially. She stole glances at her, quickly looking away when she raised her head. Lily sighed and stood up. She walked towards Dana's table, her arms crossed."Out with it" she said sternly as Dana became embarrassed. "Nothing, boss" "You have been staring at me for a while now, so speak your mind. Or have I suddenly grown two horns" "Well… It's just

    Marie was not satisfied at all when her dad told her it was just for a little time. She hated the idea of going back to her former room."What the hell happened exactly?" She pressed, almost at the point of tears."You will know later" During dinner, Silvia and Rupert looked solemn, while Marie secretly glared daggers at Lily. What she had for Lily was not dislike anymore, but hatred. But Lily didn't care. She could go to hell.Rupert cleared his throat, his eyes on Lily."You didn't tell me you were dating someone else?" She raised a brow, feigning ignorance. "What do you mean, Dad?" "Do you know Edward Beau?" Her eyes went up for a moment, her index finger tapping her chin, like she wanted to remember who that was. "Oh, yes. I know him. Why do you ask?""He said you are his girlfriend" He had decided not to leave the house that day, and stayed home with his wife. He was overexcited when he saw the last person he ever imagined he would see on his doorstep. He already deviced diff

    She stared at the thick piece of paper in her hand with mixed feelings. Her marriage certificate. The testament that she had become one with this man she had met only about a week ago. "Anything wrong?" He asked, worried about her silence. "No… I just don't believe I am married. We just met" she pointed out. "Are you scared?""Scared? About what? Why should I be?""Scared to be with me""No. I am not. I just don't believe it" He nodded."Of course. You married the most powerful man in the country, it will definitely be surreal" he said seriously. She shook her head. This man. He was a narcissist!"About the consummation......" She quickly placed her forefinger on his lips to keep him quiet. She quickly withdrew it when she realized what she did."We can't do that now. I have a lot of things to put in place, and having kids is not one of them…. for now" she added. His face was on the wall, silent. She knew it didn't sit well with him, but what could she do? Silvia and her daughter w

    "Take a guess, guys" Lily said as she entered the studio, excitement apparent in her voice."Uh… I am not so good at guessing" Dana said."Me neither" Brick seconded."Come on. Just guess. It is good news" "Uhm…. You are pregnant?" Dana said."What! What are you saying?" Dana shrugged. "You are married, so it isn't a crime" she said innocently. Lily flushed a little."No, that is not it. I'll just say it" she paused. " WE ARE MOVING!" it took a while for the words to register. Dana screamed at the top of her lungs, scrambling out of her chair and running to Lily."Is…. Is it true? We are really moving?" Lily nodded, an endear smile on her lips. "OMG! I can't believe this. Can we see it?""Sure. But after closing hours, we could go check it out together" she already did and loved it. But there was no harm in letting her team members see it too. She headed to her office to call the real estate agent who found the place, so she could wire the money to his account. "Can you send your

    "Hell no!" She almost screamed. She calmed down when she received weird looks from the servants. "That wasn't what I meant""Oh. So, what do you mean?" "I don't want you to give it to him. Deny him entry anytime he comes to your company" He nodded. "Alright" She was surprised. He agreed just like that, without even asking her the reason? He would probably have a bad view of her. A bad daughter."You wouldn't ask me why?" "There is no need for that. I will do anything you say"Badum! Badum! Badum! Her heart beat sped up. He always made her blush effortlessly. She buried her face in her food."Here" she looked up to see him extending a green folder to her."What is this?" She asked, accepting the item."Check it" she gingerly opened the file. Her eyes widened, and her mouth opened in surprise."You actually got me shares in a short timeframe. Oh my God," her eyes went back to the document. It was 8%. She had 8% shares of Portico now. She could hardly believe it."Is that enough? I co

    Rupert's brows were drawn together. "Jayden? Your sister's boyfriend" "They already broke up" she hated the way everyone called him that."You cannot date him" he said with a tone of finality. He cared less when Lily dated him. She wasn't useful anyway. But Marie. He was going to look for the best man for her."Why?" She whined. His expression softened."He doesn't fit you. Don't worry. I will find someone else who fits our class" "No dad. I love Jayden""I said no!" He thundered and Marie flinched."I'm pregnant for him""What! You....." His face turned red from anger. "Jayden isn't bad. His company is promising and will bloom with just a little help. Please, give him a chance, dad""Get out!" He said. She unhappily stood up and left. She met her mother waiting for her. "What happened between you and your father?" She shrugged. "He didn't approve my relationship""You have a boyfriend?" Silvia asked. "Yes""Who is it?""Jayden""Jayden? The same Jayden" "Yes mum""Why didn't

    She raised her chin. "Why can't I be here?" Rupert tried to tamp down his anger."Go back home. This isn't child's play" She chuckled. "This is a shareholders meeting, am I right? Then I have every right to be here...... because I am also a shareholder" she watched her father's fury increase by the minute. The shareholders also watched the drama between the duo."You are talking nonsense. Leave now when I'm being nice" she almost rolled her eyes. When was he ever nice? She reached into her bag, round the table to where he was seated, and dropped a folder before him. "Take a look, president Savage" she emphasized on president. He violently opened the folder. His expression became extremely awful. She now owned 8% of the company's shares? He was about to stand up to hit her when he remembered that people were present. He could not suppress his anger. "What do you mean by this?" Lily tilted her head. "I don't understand you. It's mum's company and it's only natural to be here" She sm

    Marie was starting to feel embarrassed. Why wasn't he kissing her? Just when she decided she would do it herself, he leaned forward and gave her a light peck on her lips. They eventually proceeded to the reception. "Finally" Lily groaned. Her eyes lit up at the large array of food. She gulped. "This is the only good thing about this party" Edward laughed. He paused when he saw Rupert, Jayden, and Marie walking towards them. Lily noticed too. "Mr Beau" he stretched out his hands. Edward didn't take it. He awkwardly retreated. Lily resisted the urge to laugh. "Lily, why did you not tell us Mr Beau was coming?" "I told her not to" Edward replied emotionlessly. Rupert was speechless and embarrassed. Lily did not feel bad about it. She loved the way he put them in their places. She looked at the newly wedded couple and took a glass from a waiter. She walked up to Marie. "Congratulations. I wish you happiness in your marriage" she clinked her glass against Marie's. "And you too, broth

    She was on her way to Edward's mansion, feeling both anger and sadness at the same time. On the next seat was the folder she had found. She dialed his number."Lily?" He sounded surprised she was calling at this hour. It was almost midnight. "I am outside your house. Can you open the door?" She heard the squeaking of a chair."I'll be right there" She heard a click in the door, and his handsome face appeared. His face immediately brought inexplicable relief, at the same time the feeling she had been locking in for a long time. She burst into tears, rushing into his arms. He held her, his heart in his throat. Did something go wrong at her house? He had extremely unsatisfied when he received her message earlier, now what brought her here? She wasn't physically hurt, so he decided not to speak. She kept crying. He said nothing, only patting her back. She stepped back from his arms, sniffing. He led her to a sofa. "Do you feel better now?" She nodded, trying to force a genuine smile b

    It was finally the day to submit the report. Lily could not contain her excitement. She sent a text message to Edward. when she arrived at the Savage mansion's entrance, "I'll be at my house today"She heard chatters between two people. It immediately stopped when they saw her. They didn't bother to hide the disgust on their faces. Jayden wasn't back yet, so they were still feeling smug, not knowing what was in store for them. She went up to her room, only returning when a servant informed her that dinner was served. They were all seated when she arrived. Jayden included. He looked as if he had lost twenty years of life. She laughed inwardly. This was just the beginning."So, now you remember you have a home" her father said. "Do you have a problem with that?" She asked dully. Rupert inhaled sharply. He seemed like he wanted to hit her but stopped. She had someone powerful backing her up. Someone he could not afford to offend. "Let's eat"Her eyes went to Jayden. Only someone who s

    "Isn't that the president of the new gaming company? It looks like him" People were beginning to gather around them, murmuring. He could not spend another minute here, or else, he was screwed. His company was getting popular, but it was still a bit unstable. A little scandal could have it crashing down. He could not risk that. He glared daggers at Lily, who looked at him challengingly, before storming off. She also went back to her car without getting anything. She wasn't in the mood to shop anymore. Behind the wall, not too far from them, a certain man who had been watching them also left. Marie had been discharged from the hospital and was at the Savage mansion, recuperating. She sat before the mirror, combing her hair, as she smiled devilishly. Jayden has been treating her well recently. Her plan to make him hate Lily was working. When she thought of Lily, she naturally remembered her wealthy boyfriend. Her smile disappeared. Jealousy and anger bubbled up inside her. She had taken

    Right at that moment, his constraint, and rationale flew out the door. He ardently responded as they both fought for control. Edward pulled her closer against him, and she felt his growing erection."Mmm….” He murmured as his tongue slipped into her mouth seductively. Her hands were wrapped around his neck. His hands went to the side of her breasts and kneaded it. She let out a suppressed moan. He carried her up, he hands resting under her butt, and they found their way to the bedroom. In a minute, the knitted sweater she wore was gone, leaving her in just her bra and pants. He laid her on the bed, planting kisses on her face, neck, then on her breasts. He made sure to leave hickeys. With his help, her pants were gone too. When his finger touched her entrance, she inhaled sharply, a loud moan escaping her lips when she felt a finger, then two enter her. He kept thrusting in and out. Edward, however, froze when he felt no action coming from her. She had gone silent. He stood up to look

    "There is something I need to tell you. Your......" His phone rang. "I have to pick this" he excused himself and returned a while later, all dressed up. "I have to leave now. There's something waiting for me at the office, so I have to leave" She shook her head. "It's alright. I understand"She was alone in the big house now. She thought of going to the studio. She finished her food, went to do the dishes before leaving the house. She got into the car and fastened her seatbelt. She received a text message from an unknown number. 'Come to Prima coffee shop! I want to speak to you' she frowned and dumped her phone on the empty seat beside her. The message was probably sent to the wrong person. She squeezed her face when her phone beeped with another message.'It is about Edward' That finally caught her attention. Edward? There was an internal war going on inside her. Should she go? It could be a trap. But what if it wasn't? Eventually, she did a U-turn, heading to the coffee shop. Sh

    Lily was speechless. She could clearly remember telling him she was going to be fine. Why was he here?"Mr..... Beau" "I will not have you shouting at my girlfriend like that, even if you are her father, and especially when she did nothing wrong" Marie saw an opportunity to malign Lily before Edward and made use of it."Lily has never treated me as her sister. She has never loved me even when I tried so hard to get close to her" she sniffed as her mum lightly patted her hand. "I swallowed all the hostility. But this is the height of it. Because of you, I lost my baby. She's a two-faced person, and you probably haven't seen her villainous side"Lily rolled her eyes. Wasn't she talking about herself and Jayden? "I have, and I love it" Everyone was completely short of words. He liked her viciousness? "But" he continued. "I believe it wasn't Lily's fault. There must be a reason" She smiled. Were they connected? That was what she said before he arrived. "I know it is not that easy to le

    "Can we go shopping…. for our baby?" "Yes" she squealed. The restaurant had a mall on the next floor, so they went there. She excused herself to go to the restroom, and was surprised to see Lily coming out of one of the cubicles. She snickered."Long time no see" she crossed her arms, raising her chin proudly. Lily squeezed out a smile, not saying a word. She was heading to Edward's mansion and couldn't wait to see him. "I see you came alone. Your darling boyfriend isn't with you. Why?" She gasped, "Oh my! Don't tell me he got tired of you so quickly? Well, that is expected. Don't think of ever coming to Jayden again. He is mine!" Lily rolled her eyes. The nerve of this shameless stepsister of hers. Marie was infuriated to see that she was not at all affected by her words, and began to think of what to do. Through her peripheral vision, she saw someone's silhouette. She quickly lunged at Lily, dragging Lily with her as she hit her body against the wall. Lily pushed Marie off her, and

    Nana saw right through her and patted her back. "There is no need to feel guilty. I came here, not because of anything, but because I chose to""Can you come with me?"Nana smiled and shook her head. "No child. I prefer this place. It is so peaceful and quiet" Lily looked into her eyes and was sure she was truthful about it. She sighed. "If that is what you want, then it's alright" she said hesitantly. "Is that man really your husband?"She grinned and nodded. "My little girl is married now. Does he treat you well?" "More than well, Nana" "That's good" Edward waited outside patiently, even though it was getting darker. It was worth it. He turned to the door when it opened. Nana saw her out."Take very good care of her" she said to him, as they shared knowing glances."I will""I will visit you again, Nana" she nodded. The smile on her face vanished as soon as they left, and was replaced with that of worry. That child. What would she do if she found out what really happened? *
