Damien left Eric’s house disturbed. Maybe it was because of what he said about reinvestigating the case from four years ago but, his mind was troubled. After the incident with Harriett four years ago, he found out the truth about the picture being fabricated but because of the guilt from sending Harriett away, he gave up finding the culprit. Evelyn was also in support of his decision to forget about the culprit and move on. Now that Eric brought it up, he realized that it would be the first step to winning Harriett’s heart once again.How didn’t he think of this before? Of course, Harriett wouldn’t want to have anything to do with him when he was unable to find and punish the person behind those pictures.Even his relationship with his brother, Adrian turned sour because of that incident. Since Adrian was also a victim in that incident, he decided to seek his help in exposing the culprit. “Well, look who it is.” Adrian’s voice boomed from the other side of the phone. “I’ll
“I think you should return to England and be with your family, Evelyn.” Damien said, still holding on to Evelyn and he felt her body suddenly stiffen. Evelyn's mood changed and her heart felt as though it had been shattered into a million pieces. She wondered what she had done that would make Damien talk about sending her back but she found nothing as to her, she had done nothing wrong. There was only one reason she could think of.Harriett! “It’s going to be best for you right now because I will no longer be able to spend time with you.” Damien revealed. It was still a wonder to him how she was able to live in New York for so long and still wasn't able to make a single friend except him. He didn’t want to believe it but his gut was telling him that she was doing it on purpose as a way of making sure that she was with him at all times. A few seconds went by and there was still no response from Evelyn so, he decided to reach out to her. “Evelyn?” Damien pulled out of the hug when
Immediately Damien said those words, Harriett removed her phone from her ears and ended the call. Throwing her phone on the kitchen counter as her heart raced.A few years ago, those words would have meant the world to her but now, she preferred not hearing it. How did it take him that long to finally fall in love with her and why was it only happening after she left? Harriett’s mind was a mess as she slumped on the kitchen stool. Five minutes later, she adjusted her position and recollected herself. As she took her phone and headed to her room, a smile appeared on her face.“It’s a good thing he loves me. It will only make my revenge more hurtful.” **“Harriett? Are you in there?” A knock on the door stirred her from her sleep and she jumped out of the bed when she recognized the voice to be her mother’s. “Goodness, Harriett. What were you doing last night to make you sleep in?” Ha Young asked as Harriett yawned and cleaned her eyes, getting rid of the dizziness.“Slept in? What
Tony was about giving Damien a befitting reply Damien’s phone suddenly rang out loud, putting a pause to their conversation. Damien who was so invested in the conversation he was about having with Tony wanted to end the call but after seeing who the caller was, he hurriedly swiped on his phone. “I found it, Damien. I found the fucker that was behind those pictures!” Adrian’s tone was enough to make him know that he wasn’t joking. Without even saying a word to Harriett, Damien ran out of her house like a mad man, tucking his phone into his pocket. He would come back the next day to see Addison. With how he left the house, Harriett thought that there was an emergency at the company and even though she wanted to ask, she held herself back. After that little drama she had put on with Tony, she was surprised that Damien wasn't phased by it. Maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. But, if he was, he certainly knew how to hide his emotions perfectly.Thankfully, the traffic on the streets on New Y
“What do you think?” Harriett twirled in front of her mother. It was her first day at her father’s company since the divorce and she was already feeling nervous. She was dressed in a beige colored gown that stopped a bit below her knees, a black kimono and a matching beige heels to go with the dress while her hair was packed in a neat pony tail and paired with silver jewelries. “Stunning, Su Ji. You look perfect.” Her mother praised, sensing how tensed she was. When she heard that Harriett had agreed to resume work at the office, she was extremely happy. She knew that it was exactly what Harriett needed to get her mind off Damien now that she was in the same city with him.“You’ve got this, Harriett. You’ve got this.” She took a deep breath and walked out of her room with her mother following beside her.When she got to the living room, her father was already waiting for her. The Edwards family owned over twenty hotels around the world and we’re also known for their success in
“Adrian?” Harriett’s face instantly turned pale as she stared at her long time friend. After the incident four years ago, she completely cut all ties with Adrian as she couldn’t face him out of total embarrassment and guilt.“Well, this isn’t the reaction I was expecting.” Adrian laughed and walked to the chair. “Aren’t you happy to see me, Harri?” “What are you doing here, Adrian? H-how did you find me?” She sat down slowly, playing nervously with her fingers.“Mother told me that you have returned to the company so, I decided to pay you a visit since you decided to cut me out of your life.” Adrian forced a smile, making Harriett feel even worse than she already did.“You should have called at least, Harriett. You cutting me out like that only made it look like the accusations were true. That was a really selfish move on your part, you know.” Adrian chuckled sadly, his eyes filled with hurt as he stared at Harriett. He had to admit, she had changed a lot and the good part was that
Damien had barely made it out of the building when his phone rang. He already knew the consequences of his action before he went ahead with it but this time, he was determined to face whatever was coming.“Damien, have you suddenly gone mad?!” His mother yelled through the phone as soon as the call went through. “Mum, can you listen to me first-”“Do not tell me to listen, Damien! What has come over you? It’s that bitch, isn’t it? She’s the one manipulating you, isn’t it?” Stacy said, her body shaking in anger.Damien leaned back on his car seat and pinched the bridge of his nose. If only she would let him explain himself.“Come home immediately!” She said and hung up. Just as that call ended, his phone buzzed and this time it was his brother calling. Damien already knew why he was calling so he declined the call and drove to his parent’s house.**“You didn’t tell me that Damien already agreed to the marriage, Evelyn! Gosh! I can’t wait for the wedding.” Her mother squealed happil
“I missed you, Evelyn.” Damien forced the words out of his throat as his face squeezed in disgust. He released his hold on her arm a bit, only touching her lightly.Evelyn on the other hand, couldn’t believe her ears. When the words left Damien’s lips, she had to pinch herself repeatedly to be sure that she wasn’t dreaming. When it was confirmed that he actually said those words, a victorious smile appeared on her face and she pushed herself deeper into the hug. “I missed you too, Damien.” She whimpered, smiling evilly as she rested her head on his shoulders.A few moments later, Damien pulled away from the hug and wore a fake smile on his face.“Come on.” He pulled her into the house and made her wait in the living room as he went into his own room to freshen up.He had barely finished changing into new clothes when she knocked on his door.'Why the fuck did she follow me up here?' He groaned, wondering why she couldn't just wait a few minutes for him downstairs.“Give me a m
TWO DAYS LATER It was a Monday morning and the break from the hospital had come to an end. Lily woke up feeling restless. Since the party, she had been unable to sleep properly as the events of the Mehdi’s party continued replaying in her head. All she seemed to think about was Louis's words. It had been haunting her like a ghost and no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t shake it off. What annoyed her was that she didn’t know what he planned to do. She didn’t have a single idea so, she was scared he would strike at any time. “Get yourself together, Lily!” She tapped her cheeks with her hands as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. “Don’t think about it. Please, don’t think about it.” She whispered as she brushed her hair into place. “Focus, Lily. Focus!” She said own last time before going into the bathroom to get ready for the day. By the time she got out of the bathroom, it was already a few minutes past eight and she was to be at the hospital by 9 am. She dressed u
As the party continued, Tony mingled with some of the people he was familiar with. He also made sure that Lily was by his side at all times.“Who is this beautiful lady, Tony?” Various people asked and he gave them the same response which still came as a shock to all of them.As the conversation with some of Tony’s business partners got more intense, Lily decided to leave them for a bit.“I’ll be in the restroom for a bit.” She whispered to Tony who gave a brief nod. His eyes followed her until she disappeared, making sure no one followed her into the restroom.As she walked, she couldn’t help but admire the hallway that led to the restroom. It had been decorated beautifully with flowers as though it was a part of the party hall.Mehdi might be a terrible person but he had good taste.She entered the restroom and to her relief, it was empty. She washed her hands for some relief and leaned on the wall, hoping to give Tony and his friends some time to finish up their conversation.A few
“She’s my girlfriend,” Tony announced with his arms wrapped around Lily and his expression stern. Lily’s eyes widened but she quickly composed herself as she didn’t want to be noticed by the reporters who were watching them like a hawk. After Tony’s big reveal, the reporters erupted into chaos and they began raining questions on Tony, each of them eager to know how and when he got a girlfriend because most of the people in the country were starting to think he was gay or just hated women. There was a time he was spotted in public with Daisy and photos started circulating online as people began to spread rumors about him having a child. They also went on the search for who the mystery woman might be and at that time, he was close friends with Harriet who already had two children and was always around him. So, to avoid getting her in trouble, he quickly denied the accusations and revealed that Daisy was his niece, bringing Rachael as proof. “How long have you known her for, Dr Martin
“Oliver? What the fuck does he want with you?” Tony asked, his expression hardening as he saw the texts on Lily’s phone.“Oh, it’s nothing. He’s just checking up on me since he didn’t see me at work. I have been helping him out at the hospital.” Lily explained innocently.“Can I see?” Tony asked and Lily freely handed him her phone for him to go through their texts.As Tony read through the messages, he realized that Oliver had been keeping tabs on Lily without her knowing. He used normal questions that wouldn’t look fishy to keep track of her activities and Lily who was as naive as a child kept giving him the information he needed.“What’s wrong?” Lily asked when she saw the angry look on Tony’s face. She wondered what he had seen on her phone that made him angry.“This Oliver guy. I have a feeling that there’s more to him. You need to be careful around him.” Tony warned and Lily frowned, taking her phone and pocketing it.“Don’t tell me you’re jealous of him, Tony.” Lily sighed. “We
Three Days Later.Lily rolled over to hit the snooze button on her phone as the alarm pierced through her sleep.“Five more minutes..” She hummed like a five-year-old.Just as she was about drifting off to sleep she suddenly remembered that she had to be at the hospital.“Shit!” She exclaimed and jumped off the bed. When she checked her phone, she saw that it was a few minutes past eight which meant that she had less than an hour to prepare for work.She quickly jumped into the shower and in a few minutes, she was out. Once she was all dressed up, she hurried downstairs to meet with Tony who was expected to be waiting for her.When she arrived at the living room, she found Tony sitting on a sofa with Rachael both laughing at a joke that was cracked by him.Sensing a presence behind, Tony turned and found Lily staring at them with curiosity written all over her face.“Good morning, Lily.” Tony greeted with a smile.“Morning, Tony. Morning, Rachael.” She greeted. “Why didn't you wake me
Lily sat at her desk, going through the files for the patients she would be sending handling. When she finished, she grabbed her tools and headed to the pediatric ward.As she walked into the brightly colored room, she spotted a little girl who didn’t look anything above six seated on her bed with a stuffed bunny clutched to her chest.She had a beanie on her head to cover her baldness as she had lost most of her hair to cancer but despite her frail frame and the IV connected to her arm, her eyes sparkled with warmth and happiness.“Good morning, my darling.” Lily greeted with a warm smile as she approached her bedside. “How are you feeling today?” Lily asked, checking her temperature.The girl looked up and smiled brightly, her eyes shining with excitement. “I am okay, Nurse Lily. They served me my favorite today! Chocolate pudding!!” She squealed and Lily chuckled.“You like chocolate pudding more than your medicines, don’t you?” Lily asked, touching her cheeks playfully.“Yes! I wa
“This is about Lily, isn’t it?” Rachael asked with her brows raised. “Yes, it is.” Tony agreed, taking his hands up. “You know how she feels about you not speaking to her right?” He asked and Rachael’s expression shifted to sadness. “I’ll be honest with you, Tony. I think I was too harsh on her. I have been feeling this way for a while but I do not know how to apologize to her. I fear I might have hurt her badly. She avoids me these days and I can see fear in her eyes whenever we meet.” Racheal lamented with a pained expression. Tony let out a sigh of relief and a light smile. He was glad that Rachael was thinking that way. “All you have to do is let her know that you are not upset with her and you want things to return to how they were.” He said. “The good part is, you have the opportunity to do that today.” He smiled. Before he heard her speak, he was going to tell her what Lily’s surprise was and plead with her not to make Lily feel bad but now, he planned on letting Lily do he
A smirk appeared on Tony’s face as he stared at the email from the office of Mehdi King. It seemed like God was on his side. The timing was perfect. Ever since he found out about him being the leader of the SNAKERS, he had wanted an opportunity to meet him and this had just been given to him on a platter of gold. He was going to take Lily as his plus one since it would be her first time attending an event with him by her side. To Tony, it was a way of announcing her to the world as his partner as well as preparing her for the life ahead. He quickly made his way upstairs and placed a light knock on Lily’s door. A few seconds later, she heard the door click and it opened to reveal Lily with a towel tied tightly around her chest. Her hair and some part of her body were slightly wet and he understood that she had just got out of the shower. Even though he had made a promise not to think of anything sexual around her, his eyes and body seemed to have a mind of their own. It was to
“She is all by herself, boss. This is the perfect time to take her. Give us the order and consider it done.” One of the men said into the phone with his eyes still glued to Lily as she headed back to the hospital on foot.A sigh was heard from the line, a sign of hesitation from Louis and one of the men concluded that Louis wouldn’t be able to give the order since Lily was his ex-girlfriend. So, he gave a sign to the man who was on the call with him, telling him to go ahead with the initial plan regardless of what Louis instructs.“What is your conclusion, boss?” The man asked, hoping Louis would go ahead with the plan but, there was still hesitation from him so, they decided to end the call and kidnap Lily before she was completely out of sight.They left their hiding place and began approaching Lily but just as they were about to get close to her, Tony came out of nowhere and wrapped his hands around her, oblivious to what was about to happen. The men immediately took a U-turn and r
