“I am not too busy for you, Lily,” Tony said as he stared into her big blue eyes. He meant every word he said and hoped Lily knew that.

Lily’s heart raced as those words left Tony’s mouth. She could see the sincerity in his eyes as he spoke.

She was about to give him a reply when they heard Rachael’s voice from downstairs. “Daisy’s home!” She screamed happily.

Lily stepped away from Tony and smiled apologetically before meeting Rachael and her daughter.

Tony shook his head and laughed as he saw her run off. He knew she used that as an excuse to avoid the awkward situation.

Lily saw Rachael heading upstairs with a young girl who seemed to be around seven years old and hurried to meet them.

Lily loved children more than anything. At the hospital, she always volunteered to care for the children’s ward because she got to spend time with them.

“Hey, Lily!” Rachael squealed and giggled like a child. “I told Daisy about you, and she couldn’t wait to meet you.” She confessed, and Daisy no

    After breakfast, Rachael pulled Lily back into the room, telling Tony she needed to prepare for the outing. "Will you tell me where he's taking me?" Lily asked once they were in the room, and Rachael smiled apologetically. "I would if I had an idea but, my brother won't tell me. He knows I'll tell you if he does." Rachael replied and Lily pouted sadly. "Come on now. Let's not keep the man waiting." Rachael said, pushing her into the closet so she could get out of her clothes. When Lily returned to the room, Rachael had already laid up her makeup products on the dressing table. "No, no. Rachael, please. I'm not wearing makeup. It'll give him the wrong idea." Lily shook her head and chuckled awkwardly. "I'm just going to go with a light makeup, Lily. It's a 'No makeup' makeup." Rachael explained and begged with a smile. Lily sighed defeatedly and nodded. "Fine." She agreed, and Rachael immediately got to work. Since Lily was a beauty, she didn't have much to do on her fac

    Throughout the car ride, Lily kept her eyes focused on the road. She didn't want Tony to see how red her cheeks were.'I should have applied some foundation like Rachael suggested.' She thought and almost hissed out loud."Alright, Lily. This is our first stop." Tony announced as he pulled up in front of a boutique. Not just any Boutique, It was one of the most prominent boutiques in Paris, Dumont Couture, owned by a famous French man, Leon Dumont,Lily tilted her head to the side to view the building from the car, and her mouth dropped to the ground.Everyone in Paris knew Dumont Couture, but only a few had been inside. That was because they only sold expensive items, 'overly expensive' as Lily liked to call them."Come on, Lily. Let's go in." Tony said and helped her out of her seat. As they walked in, Lily wasn't surprised that he was well-known. She figured he was already a regular customer.Lily wanted to object to shopping at a place like this since there were cheaper opti

    Rachael was in the living room with her daughter, Daisy when she heard Tony’s car drive in. She checked her time and saw that it was still six in the evening. “Why are they back so early?” She wondered. Earlier in the day, Tony had let her know that he would be taking Lily to see a movie at night and even asked her for recommendations so, she was shocked to see that they had returned already. A few minutes later, the door opened and Lily walked in with Tony by her side. “Uncle Tony!” Daisy screamed and ran to welcome him with a hug while Rachael made her way towards them. As she neared them, she noticed that Lily’s countenance was down which was unlike her, especially after a date. She quietly walked to Lily’s side, held her hands, and led her upstairs to her room. Lily’s eyes were swollen like she had been crying and her body was tense. Worry immediately filled Rachael and she now wanted to know what had happened during the date. “What’s wrong, Lily? What happened?” Rachael

    Lily bit her lips nervously and pretended not to hear anything. She took out her work uniform from the locker and was about to go into the bathroom to change when one of them grabbed her hand and stopped her.“I don't know what Dr Martinez sees in you, to be honest. I can bet he's just messing with you since you are so cheap.” The same girl said, trying to get a response from Lily.“You can't even deny the accusations. They must be true then.” Another said and they all laughed.“Can I go now?” Lily said and pulled her hand away before walking away. She owed them no explanation and she wasn't going to entertain them either. She and Tony knew the truth and that was all that mattered.The nurses laughed at her behavior and walked away. They were convinced that she was being that way because of her relationship with the CEO.Lily changed into her uniform and went back to her desk, ignoring the glares from some of the other nurses. She lowered her head and impatiently waited for her shift

    "Not her, Man. She's off limits." Tony warned, throwing a harsh glare at his friend."Look, I understand that you said no sneaky activities at work so, I'll get to know her outside the hospital. That will be okay, right?" Raphael said with a grin and Tony rolled his eyes."No! Do that with someone else. Not Lily. She's off limits to you and every other person in this hospital." Tony replied and Raphael squinted his eyes at him. Then, it finally clicked in his head."Wait! Are you and Lily a thing? Is that why you are being like this?" Raphael asked, trying his best to not laugh.Tony was tongue-tied. He couldn't say they were a thing because they weren't but he wanted them to be a thing deep down. He knew he had no right to push other men away from her but he was still going to do it. Lily was his as far as he was concerned."Not yet." He came up with the most suitable reply he could find. Immediately he said it, Raphael's eyes widened and his jaw dropped to the ground."You lik

    Since Tony’s office was on the last floor, he had no idea what was going on with Lily. Some of the doctors who weren't on duty had been informed and Lily was summoned by Dr Harrison who had been informed of the chaos that happened at the caféteria. By now, Manuel was already long gone and on his way to rile Louis up.8:Lily had no regrets for what she had done. As a matter of fact, she was happy with what she had done. She didn’t think she would ever be able to stand up for herself, especially to Manuel and Louis but she did and she was proud of herself for doing so even though it might get her punished.Lily placed a knock on the doctor's door and went in. Surprisingly, Dr Raphael was also in the office but he seemed to be on his way out. As he walked to the door, he stopped and smiled at Lily.“Are you alright?” He asked. He had just heard about what happened at the caféteria from Dr Harrison and he felt bad for Lily. According to the nurse who was at the cafeteria, Lily was only d

    Manuel was thrown out of the hospital by the security guards and warned never to return. Out of anger, he took a taxi and headed to Louis's house. “What are you doing here, man?” Louis asked as he opened the door and led a fuming Manuel in. “Is there a reason you’re huffing and puffing? What happened?” Louis asked. “That fucking girlfriend of yours…she humiliated me and had me thrown out of her workplace. I'm sure she was only able to do that because she is fucking the owner and everyone in the hospital knows about it!” He yelled, shaking his head angrily. “Why the fuck were you even at Lily’s workplace?” Louis asked with a twisted look. “I wanted to talk to her and get her to return. You know her being out there is a threat to us. She knows every fucking thing.” Manuel said with hooded eyes and Louis sighed loudly. “The moment she opens her mouth we will all be dead. You know Draco will never spare us if the secret gets leaked because of us. Being your friend has brought m

    “The gang Louis belongs to is SNAKERS and I know who the gang leader is,” Lily revealed, biting her lips nervously. Her heart was racing and her hands were shaking. She never thought that she would let the secret out so soon. Saying it now, she realized that she might have dug her own grave.Tony looked like he had seen a ghost. He knew Louis was a dangerous man but hearing what gang he belonged to made him wonder how Lily had coped with such a man for five years.Only a person who had been living under a rock wouldn’t know who the SNAKERS were. Their unknown boss controlled half of Paris and even though they were known for their illegal deeds, no policeman or detective was brave enough to go after them.“What the fuck, Lily?” Tony sighed and shut his eyes out of frustration. “Why did you have to meet a man like that? I can't imagine what you must have had to endure. Keeping a secret like that must have been hard.” Tony sympathized with her, caressing her face with his palm.“Does he

    Lily stirred awake, her body feeling lighter than the previous day. She looked around the room and noticed that it was awfully quiet and Tony was nowhere to be found.She was sure he had slept next to her.“He might be downstairs.” She thought as she headed to the bathroom to get freshened up and ready for the day. She knew that there was no point in going to the hospital as Tony had made it abundantly clear the previous day that she would be staying away from the hospital for a while.She agreed with him. She wasn’t ready to relive the previous day.When she was done, she headed downstairs dressed in casual jean shorts and a black t-shirt to match.Entering the dining room, she was met with Rachael who had her utensils in hand but her mind was elsewhere.“Rachael?” Lily called out softly but it fell on deaf ears. She cleared her throat and called again, waving her hands before her face this time around.“Rachael…” This time around, Rachael blinked and looked up.“Oh, Lily.” She calle

    Tony looked at Lily and sighed once again. She looked weak and tired. Her clothes had been stained and rumpled thanks to the floor Mehdi left her on.“She needs a bath.” Rachael pointed out as if reading his mind.“Hmm.” Tony nodded. “What do we do then? Wake her up? She looks really tired though.” He said in a calm voice, sounding exhausted himself.“I’ll be gentle with her. She needs a bath to help her sleep properly. If she goes to bed like this she’ll only wake up much later. You know Lily is a clean freak.” Rachael added when she saw that Tony didn’t want to wake Lily up because of how tired she looked.“I don’t know…” He sighed but Rachael touched his arm and smiled assuringly.“Don’t worry, Tony. I’ll be gentle with her and I’ll make she doesn’t hit her head on a“Alright then. I’ll take a shower myself and come back in an hour.” Tony said before leaving the room.Once he was out, Rachael tapped Lily lightly until she stirred in her sleep. Her eyelids fluttered and slowly opene

    “We finally meet, Draco. I have been trying to catch you for years.” Rico said with a smirk as he pulled out his police ID and shoved it in Mehdi’s face. Rico was a detective who had been in charge of a few cases that related to the Snakers gang and each time he thought he was finally close to catching them, he was faced with a stumbling block even his superiors advised and warned him against going them. After several failed attempts at getting them, he realized that the problem was their leader. He understood that the gang leader was someone powerful which was why everyone in the police force, including the commander was scared to touch him. He knew if they really wanted to, they would have caught them a long time ago. It annoyed him to see that they were turning a blind eye to the killing and crisis the gang caused daily just because their leader was someone powerful. Just a few months ago, he also found out that they were involved in the massive human trafficking of young

    “We are under attack, " the man screamed, and Mehdi’s eyes flew open as shock rippled through him. “What? Under attack? By who?” He asked his attention now on the frightened guard. “I don’t know who they are, boss, but it didn’t look like they belonged to a gang. They looked too sophisticated for that.” He answered. “What about the other men at the gate? How the fuck did they even get in?” Mehdi asked, his mind racing. He wasn’t sure if he was to leave the basement or run to safety. But then again, the basement was hidden so it would be safer to stay in there. “Secure the entrance and make sure I am safe.” He instructed the men in the room, and they nodded before taking off. Lily heard everything they said and understood they were under attack, which meant it could be a perfect time for her to escape. Her only worry was that Mehdi didn’t look like he would be leaving the basement soon and if that happened, no one would know she was in there, so, she decided that the only thin

    Tony and the hired men discreetly followed Mehdi’s car until it entered a white mansion that was known to belong to Mehdi. It had been shown countless times on the news so everyone knew it was his. The mansion was as big as a small community with gigantic gates and tall walls. It had a state-of-the-art design and exuded wealth. In the mansion were armed guards stationed both in and out to secure the building as well as surveillance cameras scanning the ground. The mansion was built like a fortress, proof of Mehdi’s wealth and power. Tony surveyed the area, wondering why he was home so early. It was rare to see a man like Mehdi who was always busy actually spend time in his house. To make things worse, he didn’t have a wife and his parents lived in a different city. “Could he be hiding Lily here?” Tony wondered. It would make sense since no one would expect him to keep a hostage in his residence. It would be absurd to think that. But, Tony had a feeling. One of the hired men who

    Tony sensed that Louis was being truthful. He knew that if he was indeed responsible for Lily’s kidnap, he wouldn’t deny it.“Fuck!” Tony hissed and punched the wall in front of him.“What the fuck did you do? Where did you keep her that she’d get kidnapped?” Louis asked, raging.Tony looked at the phone in his hand and ended the call. He had no use speaking to Louis if he wasn’t behind the kidnap.Tony looked around, searching for answers when a thought popped in.“If they weren’t sent by Louis but had the gang tattoo on their wrists, that means…..” His eyes widened as the realization dawned on him.“Fucking hell! Mehdi, you son of a bitch!”**After the call with Tony, Louis sat in his room, his mind racing as he struggled to process the news of Lily’s kidnap. He wondered who would have done that. For all he knew, he was the only one threatening her so who could this new person be?If she had been kidnapped, it would mean that she was out of his reach and he was not going to let th

    “You?” Lily’s brows furrowed in confusion as she stared at the man standing before her. It was none other than Mehdi King.His gaze was sharp on her and he had a sinister smirk dancing on his lips, the type that made chills run down Lily’s spine. She stared at him in disbelief but her heart shook with fear. She knew what kind of man Mehdi was so she knew that he was not to be messed with.“Did you do this?” She asked with fear in her eyes and Mehdi chuckled, his laughter cold and unbothered.“Do what you exactly?” He asked, feigning ignorance.“Did you bring me here?” She asked and then looked around to see the men behind him. That was when she realized how foolish her question was.Of course, he kidnapped her.“Why have you brought me here?! What do you want from me?” She said in a low but audible tone and Mehdi walked up to her and squatted down to her level.“Come on, Lily. There’s no need to pretend.” He snickered and fear flashed across her face.“What…what are you talking about?

    Tony arrived at the restaurant in less than an hour. The whole area was filled with panic but, not a single person was hurt. Tony looked around and realized that the scene looked too clean which meant that the thugs only came to get Lily. “The CCTV footage.” He said to Marcus who immediately nodded and went in search of the manager. Since Tony was well known in Paris, especially in a restaurant that was a few blocks away from his hospital, he was immediately granted access to the CCTV footage. Two minutes later, Marcus came back with the manager, a young French man with dark hair. He looked like he had run miles just to get to the main restaurant as he was sweaty and filled with panic but Tony knew that it was because of what had happened in his restaurant. “Mr Martinez…” He stuttered, shaking fearfully as he wondered why Tony was in his restaurant after such chaos. “The footage, now.” Tony requested. He didn’t have the time to explain to him as every minute he wasted could put Li

    Tony glanced at his watch as the meeting with the investors came to a close. He had met most of them at Mehdi’s party and to his surprise, they attended the event just because they knew he'd be there. They had been trying to get in touch with him for a while but, since Tony was not just a businessman but also a doctor, he was always busy. The meeting had gone well and he had successfully acquired over two billion dollars from fifteen of them to add to his company. ‘Looks like attending Mehdi’s party wasn’t so bad after all.’ He thought. “Alright. I guess we can call it a day.” He said and stood up, satisfied with the outcome and they all clapped happily. “Thank you for your time. My assistant will be in touch with you to finalize the paperwork.” He said with a confident smile as he shook their hands. He was the first to leave the conference room as he had a major surgery to perform in thirty minutes so, he needed to get ready. As he exited the building, his thoughts drifted to Li
