Regular Updates Continue!!
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 spent the rest of the day thinking of a way to meet with Louis. Even though she sounded confident while talking with Tony, the truth was that she was scared deep down. Even after living with him for three years, she was still terrified of him. When she left Louis, knocked out on the ground a few meters away from the hospital, she was convinced she would have no reason to return to him. But, here she was, looking for a way to speak to him without getting killed or kidnapped. She would be incredibly lucky if Louis didn’t harm her when she met with him. With shaky hands, Lily pulled out her hold phone from the drawer and switched it on. She held her breath as the phone came back to life after days of no usage. As expected, the phone dinged repeatedly as soon as it came alive. There were countless texts and missed calls from Louis. He had been sending a new text every day since she left, followed by calls. Lily couldn’t believe that he was the only person who still called or even
