last update Last Updated: 2024-12-24 08:21:33

Lily had been feeling sick ever since she got back from the baseball game. She just could not shake off the feeling that not only did she see Don Grander there, but he shook hands with Joe.

He shook hands with Joe!

If anything happened to Lily’s brother, Lily would die.

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 thought that hitting her and grabbing her hair were all the threat and warning that she was going to get from Don Grander. She had no idea that he was going to get Joe involved. Lily only wished that Grander had left it at a handshake.

Lily was restless as she paced about the room. She was supposed to be getting ready to fly off with Christopher, but Lily knew that she would not be at peace until she was certain that Joe was safe. Even though Don Grander already threatened that he would only kill Joe when she went against the plan,

    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. Even though Christopher hadn’t said anything, Lily knew that he was beginning to suspect that something was off and strange about her. Anyway, Lily meant to go on full character mode during this trip even though she did not know how long they would be staying.“Take my boxes downstairs,” Lily ordered Maggie; that was another

    Don Grander waited on his king-sized bed for Emily to join him. He was in the mood for some lovemaking, and she was taking too much time.Don Grander had almost finished the cigar he was smoking and Emily was still holed up in the damn bathroom.“What is keeping you in there?” Don Grander asked, his patience running thin.He liked to get it over and done with once he was having that feeling, and regardless of where he was and at what time, he always got what he wanted, but Emily was delaying today, and it was beginning to piss him off. Don Grander was even more pissed off when Emily came out of the restroom and she was still fully clothed. 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

    Monk sat by in a small pub downtown as he watched Benedict order his third bottle of beer in less than ten minutes while also staying on a call with Don Grander. 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

    Aimee surprisingly arrived in the blink of an eye, as though she had been waiting in the corner. 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. Lily could not forget Aimee’s words to her on her wedding day about not getting comfortable, and it dawned on her that perhaps, Aimee had a hand in it. C

    The moment Lily’s butt touched the plane seat, she breathed a breath of relief; one hurdle crossed!She could hardly believe that she almost lost an opportunity to get some information that might help Don Grander and get him off her back. 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. Lily thought about being in a country for the first time, and she could not help the thrill that came with it. When she was a little child, she had often dreamed of being a pilot, because Lily wanted to tour round the world, but then again, her parents had died tragically, and she had had to step into their shoes. Lily had had to forfeit her dreams to help Joe chase his.When Lily was tired of thinking about everything and looking around, she dozed off. It was better that way than being awake, because if she stayed awake, her mind might wander into unhealthy territories. Upon t

    After Christopher got out of the bathroom some minutes later still looking very upset, he turned to Lily and asked, “Would you mind a drink?” Lily looked at Christopher, stunned at the question. It sounded as though he was asking an acquaintance or a friend of his out on a date, and even though he still looked angry, the tone of his voice was lighter.“You have been acting like a zombie all through the trip and getting stunned at every damn thing,” Christopher complained, and Lily realized that she was doing it again.She could not understand why she was letting herself get carried away when she should be bringing her A-game to this business trip, because her performance mattered more than anything in the world.“God, please help me not to mess this up,” Lily prayed in her heart, hoping that God would forgive her for doing something bad and actually come to her rescue this time around.“I don’t know what this is, or what has been going on with you that has been making you to act thi

    Lily walked around the room as she held the phone to her ears, waiting and hoping that Don Grander would take his calls.Lily had not been given the schedule for their stay here, but Christopher could actually waltz back into the room and inform Lily that they were going out on a dinner date with the business associates he travelled all the way to see, and she was yet to go through the things Christopher said he sent to Ashley’s email about them.“They are possible questions that might be asked as a couple, and our story must be in synchronization,” Christopher had told her strictly.How could Lily even forget those words so easily?The bigger problem now was that she had no access to the email, and if Don Grander would just pick up his phone and give her Ashley’s email login details, then she would be able to practice the lies before any meeting they might have with the businessmen.As Lily paced about, her eyes caught sight of the large ocean through the wide window.“Oh heck, no!”

    “It isn’t something you should be worried about for now. Just do it, as you have promised. I will send you his code and full name,” she said before stepping out of Christopher’s office and shutting the door quietly before Christopher could say another word.After she left, Christopher was thrown into utter confusion.The Ashley he knew, at least the most that he knew about her, rarely cared about anything in life. The only thing that she was interested in was going to parties, and squandering money, which was why her demand for dates did not quite surprise Christopher.But baseball?Christopher knew without a doubt that betting on a football player, especially during their tournament was a lot of money, and secondly, one had to be really interested in baseball game to be betting on their players, and the fact that she had specifically mentioned a baseball player’s name made him more confused.Again, there was something off with Ashley Grander.One minute she was acting like Ashley Gra

    “What?! Why would I do something like that?!” Christopher asked, turning blue.Lily almost burst out laughing, and at the same time, she was very jealous, because Christopher seemed liked he was going to pass out simply because she asked that he demoted Aimee. It pained Lily that he was that attached to Aimee.Christopher might deny all he wanted, but Lily was not stupid. She might be a virgin and a naïve girl who had never had a boyfriend, but she certainly wasn’t stupid; there was definitely something going on between them. At least, Aimee was not denying it, because she accosted Lily right there in their wedding reception, but Christopher on the other hand, would continue to deny it even if a gun was placed on his head, even though he had been caught in almost compromising positions with Aimee. Lily wondered why.If he liked Aimee, and Aimee was obviously crazy about him, why didn’t he just go for her? Granted, he and Ashley Grander were bound by a contract, but Lily knew that a l

    “Do you give me your word?” Lily asked.Even though he already said it, she still did not want to take chances. Lily knew that whatever she was asking Christopher for had nothing to do with Don Grander, which meant that if Christopher doesn’t honor his word, she would not be able to do anything to him.Knowing how Ashley was treated by her own father, Lily was certain that even if Don Grander hears of the manhandling, he would not fight for her. Don Grander was a man that would literally stand by and watch his own daughter get tortured without standing up for her, as long as it benefited it. So if he could be that way with his biological daughter, Lily only wondered how he would be towards her, knowing that she was only impersonating his dead daughter.“I have never promised something and gone back on my words,” Christopher said, his breathing harder than normal; he was obviously still affected by what happened.Lily was also worried about Christopher in a way, because there was somet

    Lily stood still, unable to move from the spot that Christopher had had her pinned against his wall. She could still feel the pain of his tight grasp on her neck, and Lily was white with fright. He could have killed her right this minute!Lily swallowed hard, trying to fathom what was going on.Before she was plunged into the world of the rich, powerful, and influential, she had never known violence. Her parents had raised Joe and her with love, compassion, and tenderness. They always frowned at Lily whenever she even tried to be a little rough with Joe when they were playing. Whenever they fought, her parents were always quick to create reconciliation between them, and they always ensured that they hugged each other and shared each other’s snacks afterwards.That was why she and Joe shared an unbreakable bond even after the passing away of their parents. Lily would rather die than watch anything happen to Joe. She would protect Joe with her life, and even though she did not live wi

    Christopher only recognized what he was doing when he saw the raw look of fright in her eyes, and immediately, he pulled away from her and stepped back. Then he also turned back, unable to look at her as a result of what he just did. If she decided to sue him for violence, he would sink to the ground.It was happening again, and Christopher thought that he would never touch a woman in that manner ever again. He was not a violent man, but women always had a way of bringing out the beast in him.“What did I do?” Christopher asked himself in agony.He had thought that he had been able to do away with this part of his life, and this was another reason why he intentionally stayed far away from women. Aside from the fact that their presence, especially when it was seductive or alluring, made him scared to his bones, he never wanted what happened before now with Nanny Brenda to ever repeat itself.It was the one mistake that Christopher ever made, and he knew that if it ever got out, he woul

    Lily had not expected the attack from Christopher, because that was exactly how his question sounded to her, but she was more than ready for him.“I made the choice to,” Lily lied.“Why?” Christopher asked firmly.“Wouldn’t you have been embarrassed that your trophy wife still had indecent things out there for the world to consume? What if bloggers got hold of it and decided to circulate it just to ruin something important for you, huh?” Lily asked Christopher firmly.It might be a lie, and Lily was definitely still in the dark about this issue, because just like other times, Don Grander and Emily hadn’t deemed it fit to tell her that they had wiped off everything about Ashley’s lifestyle from the internet, but this was the only logical and convincing explanation that Lily could think of, and she was certain that this was the exact reason Don Grander and Emily might have done what they did.No one would ever have been proud of the lifestyle Ashley lived, including her father, even tho

    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

    “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

    “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
