Christopher and Lily sat across the inspector as a large desk sat between them; they were settled in now for questioning.

“I don’t understand how we could possibly be the prime suspects of this lady you have just spoke about,” Christopher started, totally displeased about the turn of events. “I only met her once, and in case you have forgotten, you are speaking to Christopher Bridger, not some psychopath,” Christopher added angrily. “Why are we the prime suspect?” Christopher ended by asking.

“According to the report we got, you were the last people Miss Rosa Benson interviewed before she was murdered,” the inspector said, fixing his gaze on Lily.

Lily was uncomfortable, because she could not understand why on earth he was staring at her alone, or mostly.

“And what is that supposed to mean?” Christopher asked. “When did she die, and how many other prime suspects have you accosted?” Christopher questioned further.

He was spitting anger, and the inspector knew this.

    As soon as they stepped into the house, Christopher said, “Come with me.”Lily did not understand the need for that, because she was going to go with him anyway. As they proceeded upstairs, Lily wondered what Christopher wanted to scold her about this time around. The station episode had ended quicker than expected, because Christopher had made a call and much to Lily’s dismay, Aimee had arrived with Christopher’s lawyer and everything had been sorted out.“Do you mind shutting the door?” Christopher asked the moment Lily stepped into the room, making Lily more uncomfortable.She had a thing against confrontations, as they made her nervous, and if they got intense, she would pass out. Regardless, Lily shut the door quietly.“What is it?” She asked, trying not to sound as uneasy as she actually felt.“You do know that you are the reason I went through that embarrassment, right?” Christopher asked, his anger simmering to the surface.“What do you mean?” Lily asked dumbly.“If it wasn’t

    An hour later, Lily was ushered into the back of one of Christopher’s car along with Christopher and they were driven out of the compound with his full convoy.Lily had no idea where Christopher was taking her, because didn’t hear his bark orders at his drivers and bodyguard, or maybe he had done before now, but how did that happen? Lily could not stop thinking and worrying and wondering where Christopher was taking her.She couldn’t even dare ask him any questions, because his face were as hard as a rock in anger, and from the corner of Lily’s eye, she occasionally saw him tightening his jaw and grounding his teeth. Lily knew that she had witnessed Christopher’s anger at different times, but this time was just different.He was furious.Lily swallowed hard and allowed Christopher, his drivers and bodyguards to drive her, but she did not wonder for long as it dawned on her where they were going. The route was familiar now, and it brought a sense of dread to Lily’s stomach.They were g

    "Please,” Lily begged the moment those words came out of Don Grander’s lips, because she feared for the absolute worst.There was a look of gloominess in Don Grander’s eyes now, and Lily felt that he was going to reveal things to Christopher. Why wouldn’t he when Christopher already almost figured things out? Lily had been speechless and clueless when she had found herself in the situation, so she would not be surprised if Don Grander was equally speechless and clueless as to what to do now.The only problem was the repercussions of the confession.Lily was not afraid to die. Actually, she was, but she would not have been so scared if this was about her alone, but Joe’s life was also at stake. Lily could not bear the thought of Joe’s young and promising life being snatched away from him because of her recklessness. Even if she was dead, she would never forgive herself, and her parents neither.“Make sure you look after Joe; he is your responsibility now.”Those were the last words of

    After Christopher left her with Don Grander and Emily, Lily was thrown into one of the rooms in their mansion and the lights were taken out.Lily spent twenty-hours in the room without anyone coming to see her, and she thought that she had been left to die. Lily did not even get hungry; she could not find appetite in this situation, but all that she worried about was Joe. Ashley’s phone was taken away from her, so there was no way she could reach Joe or Rudney to be sure that Joe was fine.“They can kill me, but they should leave Joe out of this,” Lily cried and begged, but she knew that it was a futile effort, because no one would hear her, and more so, Don Grander’s mind could not be changed if he wanted to have them all killed.She had been worrying, crying, and thinking for hours, and it made her head ache badly. It intensified so badly that Lily had to rest her head on the wall and close her eyes. She wanted to rest her head to see if the dull ache in the middle of her head would

    “Time for what?” Lily asked fearfully.She was visibly trembling, and it was as though she was seeing Monk’s scary form for the very first time.“You will know when it happens,” Monk said gruffly and he walked over to Lily.Lily cowered and tried to get into the wall, but then again, she wall wouldn’t open and swallow her up, because that was exactly what Lily wished for right now. Monk got to her, and he towered over her like beast about to devour its prey.“What do you mean by it is time?” Lily asked; the word sounded like he was taking her out for execution.Instead of answering her, Monk reached down and grabbed Lily’s hand roughly. Then he began to pull her towards the door. Lily wanted to resist, because fear of the unknown was eating deep into her, but then again, she did not have the stamina to resist, and also, she could never overpower Monk no matter how strong she was.When they got to the door, Lily paused with all the strength that she could muster. “Please, I just want t

    Christopher arrived at work in the morning with a foul mood.Ever since he left Lily back with Don Grander and he returned home, he had been in a foul mood, and he could not exactly state why. When he then had trouble sleeping, Christopher simply concluded that he was just mad at Don Grander for not telling him about the accident, and leading him on to marrying someone who suffered from a head injury.“Good morning, Mr. Christopher!” Trisha greeted cheerily, but there was also a sound of skepticism mingled with her cheerfulness.Christopher grunted in response and walked past her. Trisha was already doing the sign of the cross in relief; it was better to get a grunt as a response to her greeting than being scolded, but before she was halfway done, Christopher stopped and turned to her.“Ask Aimee to come to my office right away,” Christopher instructed.“Yes, sir,” Trisha answered diligently, and she proceeded to do just as she had been instructed.Christopher got into his office feel

    Lily woke up and her body ached badly. She felt as though every part of her bones had been broken, and she could still feel the scars that had been inflicted on her when Don Grander whipped her angrily and forced her to plead for mercy and promise not to ever mess things up again while Emily simply sat there and watched with a sinister smile on her face.Lily tried to move body, but she ended up groaning in pains.She was now laying in Ashley’s main room, but Lily could not exactly tell how she got there. The only thing she could recall was being tortured beyond what she could bear, and maybe she passed out, but hours later, she woke up in Ashley’s room.As Lily looked around the bedroom, she became increasingly afraid.The door opened then, and Lily almost jumped out of her skin in fright, but it was their old maid who had entered the room with a tray and a cup of steaming liquid. It did not smell like soup or coffee, so Lily could not exactly tell what it was.“What do you want?” Li

    As Christopher left Don Grander’s house and drove back to his mansion, he wondered if he had done the right thing by leaving Lily back at the house.“Why do I feel like I am doing something wrong?” Christopher asked himself.He did not like the fact that he was greatly troubled. As a matter of fact, he should be happy and relieved that he had finally gotten her out of his space, and besides, she was back with her family, so why did he feel so bad about it? Why was he having trouble with himself?“Maybe I should have insisted on seeing her,” Christopher said to himself.Don Grander had told him that the doctor, who had earlier came for checkup had advised that their daughter stayed with them for a couple of days for her to recuperate. According to Don Grander, the doctor had said Ashley was behaving strangely as a result of the new environment; Christopher’s house. Christopher had bought it, hook, line and sinker, especially after Don Grander presented him with the report of Ashley’s f

    It was a splendid night for Aimee Landon, and she woke up with a great mood, so much so that she practically danced like a happy princess as she went about her morning routine, from brushing her teeth to making her coffee, and of course, having breakfast of toast and jam. “Today is a perfect day!” Aimee sang to herself. The previous day had gone way better than she had expected. The press release, although not what Aimee would have wanted in a lifetime, was released almost immediately after, and those companies that were threatening to withdraw their contracts from Christopher’s company retraced her steps, and that was coupled with the fact that Aimee had also texted her source and asked her to take down the post about Christopher going into her apartment. Who could play the game this good? Definitely no one else! All that had happened had put Christopher in a better mood, and because he had been in a better mood, he was more than cordial with her.

    The deep intensified as Lily used her teeth to subtly and gently part Christopher’s mouth open, and Christopher did so with abandon. They kissed, deeply and passionately, and in that moment, it seemed as though Lily was in a different world entirely. Their tongues intertwined, their lips locked, and they tasted each other completely. Lily wasn’t expecting that she would be this good with kissing Christopher, because she had never kissed a man before, but more importantly, she never knew that kissing him would taste this good and make her entire body tingle with pleasure. Then Christopher lifted Lily effortlessly and took her towards the bed. Lily already suspected how it was going to end, because the kiss and Christopher’s strong hands around her set her entire body on fire. She wanted Christopher Bridger to take her in that moment, but her heart beat even with all the lust and desire. Lily Bashwood had never been intimate with a man before and regardless of how she felt in Christ

    Lily liked the look of shock that she saw in Christopher’s eyes. This was the very first time that she was getting a reaction out of him that wasn’t anger. “Ashley?” Christopher asked, as though he was seeing a ghost.Lily would have been disturbed by that, but the woman that constantly forgot her role as Ashley Grander in Christopher’s life which made her constantly trip or shoot herself in the leg was gone. Now, Lily was more than ready to do the right thing, because some factors had prompted her to.“That’s me, Christopher,” Lily said, her words slurring. Then she got off the bed, ensuring that she made all the right moves.When Lily arrived at the house, it had been as though she was entering a strange place, or maybe it was because she was entering as Ashley Grander for the very first time, and not Lily Bashwood who was struggling to get into character. Just as she had planned it, she had arrived when Christopher was away at work, so that she would have ample time to do what she

    They arrived at the press room about two hours later after Aimee had returned into her apartment and freshened up.When she had entered her apartment, she had danced happily; all traces of sadness and hurt due to Christopher’s stark rejection to her seduction flown out through the window.Christopher Bridger had referred to the company as theirs! He had actively included Aimee in the company for the very first time since she began to work for Christopher. That was all the reassurance and boost that Aimee needed.“Welcome, Mr. Bridger and Miss Aimee,” the presswoman greeted.Christopher had had to pay a hefty amount of money to secure a press release that same day, because he knew how important it was to do damage control as quickly as possible. If he delayed, his business associates would withdraw the contracts they were yet to sign with him, his company would crumble to the ground, and he would be forgotten like he never existed in the entire country.“Thank you,” Christopher said, a

    Aimee smiled coyly; she knew damn well that her plans would work!She knew that she had messed up, and knowing Christopher, he would be thinking of firing her. Aimee deliberately did not go to the company, because she knew that if she showed up there, Christopher would humiliate her by firing her in the presence of everyone.She would not be able to take that.So the very minute that Christopher had left her apartment last night, she had made a call and swung into action.“One thing you should know, Christopher Bridger, is that I am not like any other woman you have ever met,” Aimee said to herself.She had always been smart, right from when she was a little girl. Granted, she had fallen head over heels in love with Christopher Bridger, but sticking by his side all these years even though Christopher tried to push her away several times just as he had done his other friends, had been for a reason. If she hadn’t remained glued to Christopher, she would not have been a senior staff at o

    Christopher was more than furious, especially with the news making the rounds. Who the heck was peddling such lies about him?! Yes, he went into Aimee’s apartment, but it had merely been to switch off her alarm, and even though she had embarrassed herself, nothing untoward had happened, but what the news insinuated was that Christopher had extra-marital affair with Aimee, and that was a deadly scandal that was bad enough to spoil things for him.“Trisha! Trisha!” Christopher called in exasperation. “Where has she gone?” Christopher asked himself.He couldn’t recall whether or not he noticed Trisha there when he arrived at work because he had come in as a furious man; the blog news was the first thing he had seen this morning when he woke up, and his entire mood had taken a downward flop. Angrily, Christopher matched out of his office and stormed off to Trisha’s desk. Unfortunately, it was vacant.“Isn’t it too early in the day to leave her desk?!” Christopher bellowed, his thundering

    Lily stared at the blog scandal, anger and jealousy ravaging her very core. It was bad enough that Christopher had taken Aimee to the event instead and even given his phone to her to take his calls, making him unavailable when she needed him the most, but to spend the night at her apartment was something else. ”Don’t feel too comfortable.” Those were the exact words of Aimee Landon to Lily on their wedding day, and it was obvious now that something was going on between them. Lily was angry and jealous, and she could not tell if it was because she was developing feelings for Christopher Bridger, or because it was a ridicule to her personality as his wife. Christopher was obviously not attracted to Lily, because he thought he was seeing Ashley, and their marriage was simply a flipping contract, but then again, they never made any agreement about freedom to cheat and live a life of infidelity, so yes, Lily had every right to feel slighted. Lily was certain that Aimee Landon would be

    Lily was almost tempted to open the diary, even though she was scared as hell, but she couldn’t. Also, the old maid’s words still rung in her head. “Do not open it here,” the old maid had said after Lily had promised before leaving Ashley’s room. “Reading it while you are still here is not going to help you, and you might get caught,” the old maid had instructed. After resisting the urge to open it, Lily had tucked it safely away under Ashley’s bed. She could not put it into a box because she wasn’t certain which box would be going with her to Christopher’s house, and she did not want Emily or stumble upon it by mistake. Lily looked around the room and she became afraid. This was the first time that she would be feeling scared of being in Ashley’s bedroom. “What happened to you, Ashley Grander?” Lily asked the air, looking around expectantly as though Ashley would speak to her. “Who killed you? How did you die?” Lily asked. Now, she was more concerned about the person she had be
