Lily began to shake dreadfully.

“Don’t you dare bring that game on me, Ashley, because if I have to choke out the words from you, I will,” Christopher threatened harshly.

“I have no idea what she was talking about,” Lily answered.

She was being honest, because in truth, she had no idea what happened that night, because she never even knew that that night had existed, but the good thing was that Christopher would not read meaning to her words.

Instead, Christopher stared at Lily; a worried expression on his face.

Lily was confused, because she could not tell why Christopher was looking at her with such expression. He was supposed to be mad with rage and forcing her to explain as he threatened, but instead, he was more worried than confused.

“What is it? Lily had to ask.

Christopher stared curiously at Lily for some seconds before he said, “Nothing.”

    It was the weekend and Christopher knew that he shouldn’t be at work, but he just couldn’t help himself. Not that he had work to do, but Ashley Grander kept giving him reasons to doubt her.“Something is not right with her,” Christopher said to himself as he sat on his swivel chair and pondered on everything that had happened.Then recently, after she had mysteriously disappeared and reappeared, she had been wearing this heavy makeup that had made her look funny in a way; it just didn’t sit right on her face. Christopher checked his expensive wristwatch again and waited. When he arrived at the office, he had also called Aimee Landon to show up at the company as well. Aimee arrived just about that time, making Christopher relieved.“Mr. Christopher, I am here,” Aimee said as she entered Christopher’s office.Christopher felt as though he was seeing Aimee in a casual outfit for the first time, but then again, he could not recall seeing her in anything other than her official outfits.

She literally lived for her brother, because he was all she had got, but now, more than ever, Don Grander had made her understand that he was capable of ending Joe’s life in a second.

    Lily was fully packed up by the time Christopher arrived and said they were jetting off for the business trip. Lily knew that this was an opportunity for her to make good use of her presence in Christopher’s life, and besides, Don Grander depended fully on her to bring back report this time around. Maybe if she hadn’t informed him about the trip, he would not have demanded for a beneficial information, but now that she had, she needed to give a feedback that would make Don Grander smile otherwise risk putting Joe’s life in danger. Lily ensured that she specifically pick clothes that would make her come off as Ashley Grander without doubt or suspicious questions.

He had thought that she was spending more than the reason time in the bathroom because she wanted to entice him.Don Grander’s face scrunched up in annoyance. “What is going on?” he asked.Emily carried an angry expression of her own. “I am not in the mood,” Emily answered as she stood her ground and crossed her arms around her chest.Don Grander go

    "What do you mean by the wrong partner?” Christopher bellowed, getting instantly angered and impatient.Lily stood there and watched the exchange between Christopher and the lady in charge. The moment Christopher bellowed at her, she became scared.“Do you know who I am?” Christopher continued to say. “How dare you say that I am boarding with the wrong partner? This is my wife!” Christopher said to her, referring to Lily.This was the first time that Lily was hearing Christopher openly calling her his wife, and even though he said it in an angry state, she felt it deep inside her body. For some reason that Lily could not explain, she just liked the sound of that; his wife.Anyway, she quickly shook herself from such unwanted feelings, because aside from the fact that she was on a mission, she had to remind herself that her marriage with Christopher was contractual and that if she could pull things off, she would no longer be his wife after a year.“I am sorry, Mr. Bridger, but the nam

He had trailed Benedict all the way to the pub when he received instructions from Dom Grander.“Is he still there?” Don Grander asked.From the sound of his voice, Monk knew that he was with a young whore getting satisfaction. “Yes, and from the look of things, he is trying to get himself wasted,” Monk told Don Grander. He had not removed his eyes from the lawyer ever since he trailed him into the pub.“Is he alone?” Don Grander asked.“For now, he is,” Monk answered.“Then that should make the job easy for you,” Don Grander said, eager to get off the call and get on with his business.Monk did not have to be present before he knew exactly what Don Grander was doing or how he was feeling by simply hearing the sound of his voice, because he had been working for Don Grander for more than a decade now, and he knew his boss like

Lily felt as though she was going to pass out.“Thank goodness you are here, Aimee,” Christopher said.The relief in Christopher was palpable, and Lily knew that she had lost, but she couldn’t let that happen. Her mind flashed back to Don Grander’s violence and his visit to Joe during his game and shivers ran down her spine. “I can’t let this happen,” Lily said to herself.Christopher then turned to the lady in charge and said desperately, “Please hurry up and clear her.”“Right away, sir,” she said and began to punch on her computer with speed.Lily was still thinking of what to do before Aimee would be cleared and then she would go with Christopher on the trip instead when Aimee turned to Lily and gave her a look that said she had won.

Christopher did not say a word to Lily as expected, so she did not let it bother her, because ever since she got married to him, they had been living like absolute strangers.

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

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.

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.“

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

    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.

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.

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.
