last update Last Updated: 2024-10-17 17:08:43

Lily’s mood was sour as she sat at the backseat of the car and drove to Christopher’s house. She was not used to terming it as hers for now, because Lily felt that she wasn’t worthy of living in such luxury and comfort. Her visit to Hedge continued to play in her head.

“I want a renewed affair.”

He was demanding for something that Lily would never be able to give him. Even if she wasn’t married to Christopher, there was no way she would give herself to a man like Hedge. The encounter with him made Lily realize yet again that she and Ashley Grander lived different lives.

“I cannot grant you that,” Lily had told Hedge.

Hedge had walked closer to Lily again, sniffed her, and ran his hand over her bare shoulders. Lily had gritted her teeth in irritation, and then annoyance for appearing in such revealing clothes, giving Hedge the opportunity to touch her skin. Lily felt like throwing up. All her life, the only man that had ever held her aside her deceased father and Joe was Rudney, her be

    Much to Lily’s amazement, Christopher ordered the best clothing brand to give Lily a variety of clothes to pick from.“I don’t need to tell you how important this party is for both our families,” Christopher warned. “I personally don’t care about the media and blogs, but we both need this, so I don’t need to remind you to behave yourself tonight and stay away from scandals. This is our honeymoon welcome party; do not mess it up, Ashley”Lily ensured that she kept those words glued to her memory, although she doubted that she would need to. She wasn’t a scandalous woman, which even made it better for her, because that way, she would be able to stay true to herself, even if it was for a little bit. Lily had no idea what a honeymoon dinner party was for, because to her, it was completely unnecessary, especially since what she and Christopher did in Miami could not even be mistaken for a honeymoon, but she could not question anything.The ways of the rich and wealthy were always different

    “Hi, welcome to your party,” Aimee said to Christopher cheerily, intentionally acting as though Lily was not standing right next to him. “I was afraid you would be late for your own party,” she teased.Lily looked at her outfit and it screamed elegance and class. The thought that came to Lily’s mind was, “Damn, this woman is beautiful!”Lily had seen many beautiful women, but none of them came close to Aimee, plus, she was rich, a working class woman, and highly sophisticated.And very much in love with Christopher Bridger.Lily remembered her from her wedding reception. In fact, seeing Aimee brought back her warning of not being comfortable, and somehow, even though Lily knew that Aimee was the kind of woman that would go all out on a party, she sensed that Aimee had gone the extra length just for Christopher; she could not be convinced otherwise. The way Aimee looked at Christopher was too obvious to go unnoticed.Lily only wondered what went on between them at work.“I couldn’t,” C

    “Hi, ladies and gentlemen,” Aimee said, clinking her nails on the wine glass in her hand to draw the attention of everyone in the party. Everyone turned towards her direction.Lily startled slightly when suddenly, she felt Christopher’s hand in hers. She did not realize that he had left the man he was talking to and walked over to her. Since she stepped into the party, Lily had barely been aware of anything around her. She just found herself swamped in the midst of all the glitz and glamour, and of course, Aimee’s antagonism.“Smile, people’s eyes are going to be on us from here on,” Christopher whispered gently into Lily’s ears. The image he drew in the eyes of other people would be a loving husband whispering sweet nothings to his wife.Lily smiled sweetly, and she did not even have to fake it, because the sound of Christopher’s voice and the air that came out of his mouth when he was not angry was soothing to Lily’s ears. She even wished that he would do it again.“Do not embarrass

    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

    “Why would you give Ashley’s diary to me?” Lily asked, her voice shaky as she swallowed hard. Before now, Lily had really wanted to know everything about Ashley Grander and how she died, especially as there seemed to be ugly situations surrounding it, and it always seemed to rear its head up in situations that Lily would have to pull herself out from, but now, holding a dead woman’s diary in her hands, Lily wasn’t so sure anymore. “I just want to know,” the old maid said, her voice drenched in sorrow. There was no doubt that she loved Ashley with all her heart, and it broke Lily to see her broken. Maybe Lily should have just continued pretending to be Ashley. “Although Ashley was not my daughter, and when Emily arrived here, she made sure that Ashley was kept away from me, I still loved her, and I took her like a daughter of mine,” the old maid continued in deep sadness. “I was here when she was born, and I practically raised her when her mother passed, before Don married Emily.

    Lily and the old maid sat in silence for a few minutes, even though they both knew that aside from the fact they did not have the luxury of time for that, they would both be screwed if Don Grander or Emily found them in that position. The old maid had been strangely silent since Lily revealed her identity. “Please, you can’t tell them,” Lily begged, breaking the ice. “If they find out that I have told you who I really am, they would kill my only brother,” she added pitifully. The old maid sighed deeply. “You know, I suspected that there was something off about you. When I applied the balm the first time, the body just wasn’t the same as my dear Ashley’s,” the old maid revealed. Lily did not know if she should be relieved or worried. “Why didn’t you say anything to Don Grander or Emily?” Lily asked, curious to know. “You see, I started working in this house the week that Ashley was born. She would have been a sweet girl, as I was allowed to carry her often, but then her mother pa

    "What did you do that for?” Christopher said as he released his lips from Aimee’s kiss, taking his hands off her immediately. The moment Aimee’s lips touched Christopher’s, she became uncontrollably aroused, and she just wanted to have Christopher by all means. Blindly, she reached out for Christopher and dragged him in for another kiss, but Christopher pulled away from her grip; gently so as not to hurt her in the process. “What the heck has come over you?!” Christopher barked, hoping to get some senses into Aimee. He had never seen her like this, and even though this was not the first time that she was attempting a kiss on him, she just looked like a completely different person to Christopher. It was as though he was seeing a strange woman. “You are what has come over me, Christopher Bridger,” Aimee said lustily, her words slurring. She reached behind her dress and unzipped it, causing her dress to fall flat on the ground, revealing her naked body. “Jeez, Aimee!” Christopher s

    Aimee smiled proudly as she reminisced on what her achievement was bringing to Christopher. “You might never know this, but I will go to the ends of the earth for you,” Aimee said to Christopher in a whisper as she patiently waited for her to finish up his brief chats with the reputable men. Then Aimee’s eyes went to her bare fingers as she looked down to distract herself, and her heart split into two. The ring on Ashley’s finger should have been on hers instead, because what she was doing for Christopher, Ashley would never be able to do it in many lifetimes. “This is not enough,” Aimee said to herself, her countenance changing slowly, knowing that Christopher had no clue the numerous sacrifices that she had made behind him, and as such, he might not be able to see her what she truly was; his perfect match. “I need to get that ring,” Aimee added. She was tired of taking things slow. Now that Christopher was married, Ashley was likely to fall pregnant soonest, even though Aimee co

    The party had ended about an hour ago, but Christopher was stilled held back shaking hands with men that mattered most in the countries, and already signing business deal.It was a new dawn for the Bridger Empire.As Aimee stood by and watched, she could not help but smile. Yes, she loved Christopher Bridger deeply, but now, she loved him ten times more. It swelled her heart watching him climb that stage, and more, that she was right there with him.“As it should be,” Aimee said to herself.She wondered why Christopher couldn’t see that she was his perfect match. Ashley would not have known the next thing to being Christopher’s anchor for tonight if she had been available, and Aimee was more than happy that she had had to do a little dirty act just to get this moment for herself and Christopher.She smiled triumphantly as she watched Christopher interact with people whose deals were capable of shooting up his company as her mind drifted to what she had had to do for him to earn it.Wh

    I am Ashley Grander. I am wild and reckless. I have been to many countries like…” Lily began to read through nuggets about Ashley that Emily had given her.“You will have to start from the beginning and relearn everything, and commit the new ones to memory, because if you fail again this time around, you will not be punished; you will be killed,” Emily had told her as she handed the piece of paper to Lily.So Lily had gone back to Ashley’s bedroom and had begun to digest everything written in the paper with vigor and determination, but her mind kept drifting back to Christopher and Aimee at the party. Something good had obviously happened to Christopher Bridger, but Lily could not think about it without thinking about Aimee.“That is your next assignment.”Those were Emily’s words, and Lily knew now more than ever before that she could not fail. She dared not fail otherwise she would not only die, but Joe would also die. Lily now worried less about Joe, because no one had mentioned a

    Lily could not tear her eyes off the TV. Christopher and Aimee looked like the perfect power couple, and a pang of jealousy shot through my veins. First, it was Aimee picking up Christopher’s call, and now, they were both attending the same party together. From the guests shown on TV, it was obvious that it was an elite party, and Lily could not deny how impeccably handsome Christopher looked. Among all the people in the crowd, Lily’s eyes continued to pick Christopher out, but then again, seeing him also meant that she would see Aimee glued to his side possessively.“Do you see what you have caused?” Emily’s voice rang out, cutting through the moment as she made her way downstairs.I turned quickly and looked at Emily, fear enveloping me all over again. For a moment, watching Christopher, Lily had almost forgotten her current predicament.“I…it’s…” I stuttered, not knowing what to say.Emily came and stood beside Lily, and Lily cowered in fright, thinking that Emily was going to gra

    Lily was glad that she had been able to get back to her room without getting caught even though her attempts were futile. It was not until she was back in her room and pacing around again that she remembered that she could have called Rudney. “Gosh, Lily! How could you forget such a thing?!” Lily berated herself. The one person that would have picked up was Rudney, and yet, she did not remember to call him and ask about Joe. Anyway, Lily blamed it on the fact that she was agitated and also trying to hurry up. Then her mind went to her call to Christopher. “It has just been a couple of days that I have been away, and he is already going about with Aimee,” I said to myself jealously. Since when did Christopher start giving his phone to Aimee as though she was his secretary, and what were they doing together at that time? Lily had heard soft music playing in the background; were they out on a date? Lily scoffed. “Christopher never cared about me…or Ashley, and coming here was just

    “Are you there now?” Don Grander asked Monk.Monk sat in his car outside the hospital as he talked with Don Grander over the phone. He had just arrived, but he knew that he could not stay parked in that spot longer than necessary.“All you have to do is get in there, get access to his word, and smother him,” Monk rehearsed the whole process that he had cooked up in his head over and over again.This was a government hospital, and he knew that what he was about to do was very risky. If he got caught, he would rot in jail. Monk never shied away from assigned duties, but he wished that Don Grander had assigned the same person he hired to find out if Benedict died or not to simply complete the task.“Yes, I just got here,” Monk answered, grounding his teeth.He looked around the premises and everyone went about their businesses innocently. His eyes fell on the hospital’s entrance, and Monk swallowed hard. The state government never took lightly to crimes, and Monk knew the consequences. H
