Don Grander could not arrive home any faster. Emily wasn’t usually one to cry wolf or even call him at the slightest inconvenience. If he ever got an urgent call from her, it meant that whatever was going on was intense.

It reminded Don Grander of when Ashley was still alive and living with them. Often times, when Don Grander would get such calls, it would only mean that Ashley had done something of grave consequences and Emily wanted him to punish her severely.

Don Grander was sick of juggling from one problem to another, and he just wanted everything to be over really soon with him emerging as the winner. Before he left, he strictly instructed Monk to continue to look for Benedict, even though he had already bought Monk’s idea of including it in Lily’s task.

Emily was in the living room when Don Grander arrived home was early as he could make it.

“What is going on?” Don Grander asked impatiently.

Emily seemed very enraged. “You never listen to me, and it freaking pisses me off,” Emi

    Lily decided not to dwell so much on the cruel words that Christopher said to her before leaving, because if she did, she would cry more, and she might be forced to stop trying.She knew that he meant that he wasn’t attracted to her but to Aimee Landon, and he only denied having anything to do with her, because he did not want to be accused of infidelity, which was equally a horrible scandal.Lily hadn’t met with the domestic employees since she got back, and she decided that it was the best thing to do to get her mind of Christopher and his harsh words.“When I am done setting some rules, then I can begin reading Ashley’s journal,” Lily told herself as she got ready to go downstairs.Thoughts of the journal made Lily awfully scared and worried, which was why she hadn’t even thought of it since she got back, but she knew that she couldn’t put it off forever. She already made a promise to the old maid, and now that Lily had an inkling of the kind of life Ashley lived, she genuinely wan

    but then again, she had already left the house for more than twenty four hours now, and Ashley’s room was usually cleared out within every forty eight hours. “No, no, I can’t risk it. I have to go,” Lily told herself.If she delayed any further, Ashley’s room would be cleared out, and it certainly would not be by the old maid, and when that happens, the diary would be found, being that it had already been taken out of its original hiding place. Where Lily hid it could easily be reached once they cleared out the room.“Crap, how did I even do this to myself?” Lily continued to question and scold herself as her heart beat faster and dreadfully.This was something that could have been avoided, but instead, she had made another terrible mistake, and now, she would have to return to the place of her torment just to get it. Lily thought of completely abandoning the diary, but her conscience just wouldn’t let her do that, especially after the promise she made to the old maid, hearing snippe

    Gently and slowly, Lily turned and faced Emily, and she made the terrible mistake of smiling, even though the smile did not reach her eyes.She was scared to her bones!“Wipe that ugly smile off your face; you look like a flipping monkey,” Emily said coldly as she approached Lily, and instantly, the smile disappeared from Lily’s face.She hadn’t even realized that she had given Emily a smile that she didn’t deserve. The smile was only borne out of dread, and the fact that she had been caught.“Stop standing there and come over here,” Emily said gruffly. “I detest the fact that we still have to tell you literally everything. You claim to be better, but you still act dumb to me,” Emily added bitterly.Lily walked solemnly to the living room and took a seat after Emily. Emily had always been hostile to her, which wasn’t a new thing for Lily, but now, she just saw her as a completely different person, especially with what she had come to know about her.“She is here, isn’t she?” Don Grand

    Lily was beyond herself with joy when her hand grazed the hard back of the diary.“Thank goodness!” Lily whispered to herself in gratitude.She had no idea what she would have done if the diary had been taken out, especially now that the old maid had been fired. “I am never going to let this out of my sight,” Lily vowed to herself, referring to the diary.She proceeded to put it inside her hand bag and leave the room, but a thought crossed Lily’s mind; what if Don Grander and Emily decided to search her before leaving? What if they demanded to see that exact thing that she had claimed to have forgotten? The fact that her prayer for them not to question her about what she must have forgotten did not mean that they would not act their usual self on her way out. Lily had now known Don Grander and Emily, and she knew exactly what they were capable of doing, and she wasn’t going to take any chances.Lily looked around Ashley’s wardrobe, trying to see if she could take something of Ashley’

    Derek lurked around the apartment that Aimee had texted to him as the address of the lady he was supposed to be taking care of.It was not until Derek waited and waited for over an hour that it dawned on him that he did not even exactly know what he was here for. Derek was a skilled private investigator who had worked on her own terms for a couple of years now, but he could not tell why he had been given this task. The job to dig out ugly and filthy secrets about Ashley Grander had been his specialty, as well as finding out that Rosa held the information that Emily desperately and earnestly needed.“So what am I here for?” Derek asked himself.In order not to waste his ample and precious time, he called Emily, and thankfully, she picked, because if she hadn’t, he would have grabbed a cab and left. Derek could very well own a car of his own, but being that he had been in this job for years now, he knew that having a car was pretty risky. First of all, he could be traced with his car, b

    “Damn!” Derek expressed in awe.It was though Derek was laying eyes on the most beautiful woman in the entire universe, and he was completely enamored. Derek stood right there and allowed his eyes to follow Trisha all the way to her post box. She was casually dressed and had her hair in a bun, but she gripped Derek’s heart already. For years now, Derek had not been remotely attracted to any woman. At first, he had been worried, because usually, he should have craved the presence of a woman, but then again, he had been too busy taking on assignments and digging out dirty information for his clients to even have the time to think about a woman.The only times that Derek ever allowed himself to have a good time was when he went to the bar occasionally to pass time for an hour or two, and most times, those bars were filled with whores; Derek was not a man that got enticed by a woman that any man could have, so he had never given any prostitute a second look.But this woman right here had

    “Come with me, Aimee,” Christopher had said after the meeting was over, making Aimee exceedingly glad.Actually, the meeting had ended a couple of minutes ago, but Christopher had continued discussing with two of the senior associate male staff members, and somehow, Aimee had just found a way to remain in the boardroom.However, she had also been itching to hear from Derek. He had made her slightly uncomfortable with the last conversation that they had before she had gone in for the meeting, and there was nothing Aimee hated than the feeling of a misunderstood task, so she had seized the opportunity to speak with Derek over the phone as she had excused herself and called Derek in the restroom connected to the boardroom. The moment she had come out, Christopher had asked her to go with him.Aimee knew that some of the men, especially the ones who were still unmarried had eyes for her, and were even jealous of her closeness with Christopher, but Aimee never gave them a second look, beca

    Lily had arrived at Christopher’s company with the help of his driver, and she had been awed by how big it was.Now she understood why the city called it one of the most thriving and biggest companies in the city. Lily had never seen anything as huge as this, and she wondered why she had never come to his company until now. More so, she wondered why Christopher had never invited her. Well, judging from how ice-cold he had been towards her, she did not expect anything different anyway. After successfully leaving Don Grander’s mansion, Lily had decided to take her assignment seriously by paying Christopher a surprise visit in his company. It dawned on Lily that she would never get anything done for Don Grander if she just stayed in the mansion as Christopher’s dutiful wife.“Step out of the car for a moment,” Lily had told the driver and bodyguard after they had arrived at Christopher’s company and had parked in the parking lot.Thankfully, the car had tinted glasses, so it was quite

    Lily could not believe that Christopher Bridger, one of Mexico’s wealthiest and most handsome bachelor was in her grandmother’s hidden cabin with her.He had come to find her!“I have been combing the entire country for you with the best investigators I could hire, Lily,” Christopher said softly as they talked in the living room, alone while Joe stayed outside with Christopher’s driver and bodyguard to give them privacy.It was the second time that Christopher was calling her by her real name and identity, and he did so with such tenderness and gentleness that it melted Lily’s heart. It was very different from the gruff and angry manner with which he always called Ashley.“I thought I had lost you. I was afraid that I would never get the chance to see you, until I got an information that your brother, Joe, contacted his teammates, and then we were able to trace the connection to this cabin,” Christopher explained.Lily ground her teeth in exasperation. “And I warned him,” Lily said, t

    Lily stared at her reflection in the mirror with sheer horror and then down to the test strip on her hand which showed two thick red lines; she was pregnant.Then Lily broke down in tears.“How could this be happening?” She asked herself, sobbing.It had been almost a week now that she ran away to her grandmother’s cabin in the woods with Joe. It had been a miracle; one that Lily never thought would happen, but it had happened, and she and Joe had been hiding there since then. She had no idea when it would be safe for her and Joe to return to their lives, but Lily was ready to hide in this abandoned cabin for as long as possible as long as they were both alive. They had agreed not to make contact with anyone at all so that their hideout would not be known.And now, she had fallen pregnant for Christopher Bridger; the man whom she had fallen in love with but would never have.A knock on the door interrupted Lily, and she knew without a doubt that it was Joe; they were the only ones in

He was looking dashing and stunning, and more, he was impressed with what Aimee had come up with in the crunch of time.His company was buzzing with elegance and class, and with everything that had been scheduled to happen tonight, Christopher had no doubt that it would be a successful night for him.

Christopher had also battled with anxiety and nervousness, and he knew that if he simply wrapped his arms around her, he would have felt better.

    Lily stayed in the bedroom and waited for Christopher, but she was downright scared to her bones that something might go wrong and nervous.It was as though the time was ticking by too slowly, but she had no choice but to wait for him in his mansion. However, she was very restless.Lily thought of Don Grander who she guessed must have realized that his papers were missing and would be searching frantically for them. He would kill Lily if he knew that she had taken it, and worse, wanted to show them to Christopher.In thinking of the devil, Don Grander began to call Ashley’s phone, and she jumped in fright.Lily contemplated on not answering the call, but then if she did that, Don Grander might suspect her, because she had never ignored his call before, so Lily took a split second to catch her breath before picking the call.She would have to act normal otherwise Don Grander would know that something was amiss.“Where are you?” Don Grander asked gruffly as soon as the call connected.“

    “Monk!” Don Grander yelled at the top of his voice, almost tearing out his lungs. He was in his bedroom, and he paced furiously. Some minutes later, Monk rushed into his room.“Boss, you sent for me,” Monk said, confused, because he was just with Don Grander about an hour ago in the study where they talked at length.“Something has happened,” Don Grander said through clenched teeth.“What might that be?” Monk asked.“Before you and I went out, I was going through the original and fake document that I and Bridger signed before his demise, and the one that Benedict drafted for me which he showed to Christopher to make him believe and succumb to what we want,” Don Grander explained.“Okay…” Monk said, paying rapt attention to what Don Grander was saying even though he was wondering why Don Grander decided to go through the papers in the first place.It was as though Don Grander could read Monk’s thoughts, because he answered right away. “You know that this last deal is very huge; it is t

    Aimee threw herself into planning this special event for Christopher and his company. He did not give her the full details, but she worked with what she had anyway.She had been busy contacting vendors and planners, making plans and readjustments; Aimee wanted complete perfection, because this was the event that she was banking on completely. She was fed up of waiting for Christopher to come by, and even though he had reinstated her with even better promotion, Aimee feared that Christopher had fallen for Ashley, and she could not let that happen.After this event, she would have exactly what was hers!Aimee was still in deep thoughts when her phone rang. When she checked the caller ID, it was the new man that she had hired to do her dirty business. The moment Aimee realized that Derek was no longer on board, she had had to find someone else. This time around, Aimee ensured that she went for someone who was fierce and dangerous.“What news do you have for me?” Aimee asked.Now that she

    Lily covered her mouth in shock and dreadful fright as her heart slammed against her ribs. At first, she thought that Don Grander was going to hear her gasp, and she feared for her life. If she was caught hiding by the stairs and eavesdropping, she would be dead even before the actual time, but thankfully, Don Grander and Monk were too engrossed in the whole conversation to even hear her.“I just want this to be over and done with so that Emily and I can finally go for that vacation. We have already missed our flight and she is breathing down my neck…it can be really frustrating,” Don Grander said to Monk.Then the two men stopped right close to Lily, making Lily more afraid.She needed to get away from this mansion before they either discovered that she was here, or that the papers were missing. As far as Lily knew, no one saw her come in except the security at the gate, and hopefully, she would be able to get out before Don Grander declares that anything is missing.“When she steals

    “What?!” Lily was stunned and afraid and alert.Her mind instantly went to Monk and Don Grander’s threats that they would kill Joe if she failed on any of her tasks.“Yeah, and it was pretty weird. It made me feel uncomfortable,” Joe said over the phone.She could feel the discomfort in his voice, and Lily’s heart broke into more pieces. She even began to wonder how much heartache she could take at once.“I really wish you were here, Lily; I feel safe with you around,” Joe said warmly and sadly. “It has been over a year, and this is beginning to look creepy to me. Even Rudney does not exactly know where you are,” Joe admitted.Lily did not think that Joe would think too deeply about everything. She hadn’t even really been thinking about Joe and how her absence might have affected him. More tears dropped from Lily’s eyes in pain and regret. If only she could tell Joe exactly what was going on, but then again, she did not even have the liberty of brooding about that for so long, because

    Lily felt like she had been hit with a ton of bricks at the harshness and cruelty of Christopher’s words, and when she managed to look into his eyes, she could see all the emotions right there.“Let me say what I came here to tell you, please,” Lily begged deeply.“How did you manage to bleed like a virgin when everyone knows that you are not, huh?” Christopher asked bitterly and angrily.Lily opened her mouth to say that it was because she was a virgin, but no words came out of her mouth, and Christopher mistook Lily’s inability to say the words as guiltiness.Christopher shook his head. “You are my worst mistake, Ashley, and I blame myself for not fighting this arrangement when I was told. After this party, you are going to return to your father’s house discreetly until this whole crap of a marriage is over; I never want to see your face again,” Christopher said firmly.Lily squeezed her eyes shut as the words sliced through her heart. She felt like Christopher had literally taken a
