Five minutes after Trisha left Lily, she felt a weird and odd stirring in her body system, and the next thing that happened to her in the next couple of minutes was completely lost on her.Lily suddenly felt the urge to go wild and crazy. She took off her heels and climbed on the nearest table to her, drawing instant attention to her. Christopher who was speaking to the older man abandoned him and walked hastily towards Lily.“Get down, right now!” Christopher said tightly. He was trying as much as possible not to raise his voice.Instead, Lily laughed like a wild woman on the loose. “Why should I, huh?” She looked at him with a cynical smile and erupted in laughter again. “Yoohoo! I feel on top of the world!” Lily yelled at the top of her voice. “Somebody get me a glass of alcohol!” Lily yelled wildly.A waitress walked close to Lily with a tray of glasses of alcohol, but the look Christopher gave her made her cower and scamper away in fright.“Darling,” Christopher patronized sweetl
“Stop, everyone!” Christopher yelled as he struggled to keep himself from falling on the table with Lily. He should have known that the next reactions of his guests would be to hold up their phones and capture his so-called wife embarrassing herself, and him in the process. Christopher had never felt so humiliated in his entire life, and because of her, he had just lost a major deal it took him a couple of minutes to secure. It was a miracle that Aimee had been able to get the man to attend his party, giving Christopher a rare chance to win the man over to his side, and now, in the blink of an eye, of all it had gone down the drain.“Put down your phones right now!” Christopher barked at them. This time around, they put down their phones. Most of them, especially the high class women, giggled and laughed at Christopher, while the men just couldn’t believe what they were seeing already. Some of the other women were pissed off as hell, because while Lily danced and displayed her sexy
“Do you have an idea what her misconduct cost me tonight?!” Christopher bellowed.The sound of his angered voice had startled Don Grander and Emily. Instead of going home, Christopher had gone to Don Grander’s mansion instead. He knew that Ashley would still be intoxicated, and therefore, nothing he would say would get to her, and Christopher also feared that if he went right to her with the way he was feeling, he might do something they would all regret. Christopher had never been violent with women. In fact, half of the time, he had been avoiding situations that would lead him to acting out of line, but then again, he was married to the craziest and wildest woman in the entire universe.“Son, you need to calm down,” Don Grander started by saying. Aside from Emily who had been woken up by Christopher’s barging in, and as a result, seemed a little grumpy and sleepy, Don Grander was still very much awake and active. When Christopher had stormed in raging like a furious lion, he had me
Lily woke up at the early hours of the morning with a funny feeling. She was alone on the bed, and as she turned and stirred, she felt the urge to puke. Lily dashed off into the bathroom and released everything that she had eaten the day before.“Ugh, what the heck?” Lily sulked. She felt like a complete mess. After puking and cleaning up, she decided to freshen up. Her brain was still fuggy, but she was beginning to recall a little of what happened last night. She could recall her encounter with Aimee, and how she had audaciously flirted with Christopher the entire night right in front of her. Lily also recalled that there had been men and women of the elite society in the party, and she had felt like a guest in her own party.Other than that, every other thing was a blur.Lily got out of the bathroom and sat in the bedroom again, thinking. It was still early in the morning, and the bed was empty, which meant that Christopher either did not share the bed with her, or he left early i
Aimee Landon waited in her apartment for her guest to arrive. The night had gone just according to plan, and she was very excited.Well…except the fact that she was unable to lure Christopher Bridger to her apartment.Nevertheless, Aimee could not stop reminiscing on the kiss. She felt as though she was in paradise! She had known Christopher since high school, had had a huge crush on him since then, but the only closest thing she had ever gotten from him was holding hands, which he had taken causally. Over a decade, Aimee had watched Christopher go from one meaningless relationship to another, one fling to another, one one-night stand to another, one friends with benefit to another; some of them she had even had to secretly destroy herself. And he never noticed her. All the hints she gave, Christopher never looked in her direction.“You will soon be mine, Christopher Bridger,” Aimee smiled to herself. She grabbed her most expensive wine and took a big swig of it; she needed to reward
“Where the hell is she?!” Lily was jerked up in shock when she heard Christopher’s bellowing sound. She almost fixed herself under the bed just to hide away from Christopher’s rage and fury. She had been dreadfully anticipating this moment for a while now. After Juliet had narrated how she had gotten home the night before, Lily had been more scared than embarrassed, because she knew that Christopher would be mad as hell at her; he had warned her strictly not to embarrass him. The only thing Lily hadn’t been able to recall was what happened at the party, and for Christopher not to have returned the rest of the night was an indication that he was angry. Then while Lily had waited for Christopher to get back, she had seen the news break out on the internet, all over the blogs and social media.“Dirty Scandal: Billionaire Christopher Bridget’s beauty queen wife, Ashley Grander all wild and kinky at their party.”“Ashley Grander, Billionaire Christopher Bridget’s wife, acts dirty at the
Lily already knew they would chop her head off when Don Grander and Emily sent for her as bright and early in the morning. They probably must have heard about the terrible news on the news, and of course, since it would spoil things for them, they would be pissed off as hell.Lily got dressed that morning and went to answer their call.“You snake!” Don Grander spat the moment Lily stepped into their living room. The hostility was so high and intense that Lily toppled backwards in fear. Don Grander charged at her angrily, making Lily to cower in fear. The one-eyed man who did their dirty jobs stood by the door solidly. When Lily entered the living room, he had been the one who had opened the door to her, so he shut the door quietly and stood by it menacingly. Lily hadn’t known this, because she had been occupied with encountering Don Grander and his wife. So when Lily toppled backwards in fear, she hit his chest with her back. At first, Lily hadn’t even thought that it was a human she
Aimee sat in her office and smiled to herself. She was such a motherfucking genius!How did Christopher ever think that he would get married to another woman and live happily ever after? What would happen to all her years of hard work and resilience?“Chris, you are mine, and mine alone,” Aimee said to herself, meaning every single word that came out of her mouth. She only needed time and few good strategies, and just as she had done to a couple of his relationships, she would destroy his marriage as well.“To think that he left me for that irresponsible slut,” Aimee gritted her teeth in annoyance. She became angry with Christopher; he always picked the worst kind of women over her all the time, and it was beginning to piss the hell out of Aimee.Aimee was jerked out of her thoughts when her phone vibrated in front of her. She picked up instantly with expectancy.“Derek, have you got my news?” Aimee asked Derek. She hadn’t called him to ask for update because she did not want to pres
Christopher arrived at the company from the hotel in a grand style. 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. The papers he would use in sealing the best deal the company had ever had was with him.However, Christopher was troubled.In all honesty, he had a pretty rough night last time, because while at the hotel room, he kept battling his conscience.“I should have gone home to her,” Christopher told himself.Lately, especially after their intimate affair, he had been unable to get her off his mind, and last night, he regretted allowing Aimee persuade him into sleeping in a hotel home. 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
Lily could not wrap her head around everything that the old maid had revealed to her.Ashley Grander was alive, and no one knew!A tiny part of Lily was relieved that she was, because after all she had found out about her, it just didn’t sound fair that she would have been murdered. Indeed, she played her game well. Another tiny part of Lily wanted to see Ashley, the only girl in the world that looked almost like her, but according to what the old maid said, Ashley was in a far away country where no one knew her and with a new identity. She was living with the old maid’s distant relative, and to ensure that she is completely safe, she and the old maid had had to keep off communicating.Ashley Grander was smarter than anyone Lily had ever met.Thinking away from her now, Lily thought about herself. As much as she was relieved that Ashley wasn’t truly dead after all the evil that surrounded her, she had been the unfortunate person forced into living her life, doing her job, and cleaning
“What?” Lily was stupefied.She could not believe that she had been played so well, but then again, a lot of questions were already running through her mind. Now, nothing seemed clear and she needed it to be, so she sat back down again.“You knew from the beginning that I wasn’t Ashley,” Lily stated.It was a statement that required an answered, a clarity of some sort.“Even if Ashley was truly dead, I would have known,” the old maid responded. “I raised her, you know,” she started as tears gathered in her eyes. “When her mother mysteriously and tragically passed, she was left in my care, and I loved and nurtured Ashley like she was my child. Do you know how heartbreaking it was for me to see her being constantly maltreated and punished?” The old maid asked.Lily could feel the raw pain in her heart as she spoke, and she shuddered at it.She would never be able to grasp the life of the wealthy and powerful. The more she thought she knew, the deeper the whole thing went. When she worke
