Chapter 12: Lillian
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56I still couldn't help but wonder about what Nina had just told me. I mean who would believe it, they have never shown like they know each other. I walk into my penthouse only to notice Danny staring at me with wide eyes.
“ I know that look,” He said as he rubs his hands on his eyes like someone who has just woken up.
I pretended not to hear him as I sat down on the couch opposite him. Different thoughts were going through my mind, as I wonder if I should ask him about it or not. I mean they were together the night Michael and Nina met.
“Did you know about Michael and Nina?” I finally ask him as I look at him? I expected him to look shocked or react in any way as I had reacted but not to look like he had known all along. He shrugs and focuses on the television without saying anything.

I woke up the next morning to my alarm clock ringing, I straight forth my hands to slam it off. I try to get up from bed for my morning run but was too lazy for it. I went to sleep back but yesterday's event plays back in my head as I ran my hands through my lips, a smile forming on my lips as I remember his kiss. I still can't believe that he kisses me. If Lillian and Danny haven't interrupted us, I wonder what we would have done next. My phone ding as I rush out of bed, to check the message “ See me in my office when you get to work today” Mr. Melton. Fuck, fuck, fuck I ran around the room, trying to gather what to wear to the office as I wonder why the big boss will want to see me first thing on Monday morning. Thirty minutes later, I was standing in front o

“What do you mean by you can't find her” I stood up abruptly from my chair and pace around the office as I scream into the phone. “I can't find her anywhere Michael, I've been calling her phone since morning and it's switched off”. Lillian said as she sobbed into the phone. I could hear Danny trying to Console her. I run my hand tiredly through my hair as I clasp the phone tightly “Are you sure it's her number, Lillian?” I said my voice breaking as I fought back the tears that threaten to surface. I need to be strong. “Yes, it's her number” “Since when have you been trying her number?” "For the past four hours now” " Four hours, why didn't you call” I shouted at her.

The alarm beeps at seven in the morning, I slammed my hand angrily at it. I couldn't get enough sleep last night. I was thinking about Mia Walker and Michael, he shows me a side of him that makes me want to protect him and stand by his side always. I threw the cover away as I stood up and went into the bathroom to shower and get ready for work. Remembering the interview I was to have with Austin, I quickly dressed up in a black peplum gown and make my way out of the apartment with my car key in my hand. Opening the door to my car, I saw Deborah Melton rushing to meet me, she was clad in a red bareback gown and fully caked with makeup. She walked up to me and smiled. “Can I get a lift to my dad's company? ” She asked, batting her eyelashes at me. I was surprised, was she not the same person who asks me to stay awa

I stood up abruptly from my chair as I throw the remote I was holding at the smart screen television in my office. It makes a dent on the screen but I didn't care. I can't believe Austin said that at a live interview, that I killed his sister. I close my eyes as I envisioned the tears that fell down Nina's eyes. My heart bled knowing fully well that I'm the cause of her tears. I open my eyes at the sound of my phone ringing, a glance at the caller's ID shows my dad. “Michael Vincent Thompson!!” My dad screams filled my ear as I pull the phone away from my ear. Leave it to my dad to remember my three names when he's annoyed. “Yes, dad” I reply as soon as he has calmed down. “You killed Mia Walker? How?” He asked shocked.

This is not my room, where am I?.Michael walks in carrying a tray of hot chocolate cookies and a glass of wine. He drops it on the bed and pecks me on the cheek.“Good morning, Angel,” He said, the bed dip as he sat down beside me. He was putting on a red boxer and a white singlet.

I can't believe I've been running for an hour now, since I couldn't sleep a wink last night. I've been up since 5 am, thinking about the clash with Deborah Melton at my office a few days ago. I jogged up to my apartment to see Lillian standing there in all her glory. She smiles immediately she sees me approaching“Hey beauty" she calls sweetly to me. I know what she's trying to do, anytime she uses that tone at me she wants me to do something for her. “To what do I owe your presence, her royal majesty Lilian,” I said as I bowed playfully in front of her. “Well, well, let me see” She placed her hands and on her chin thinking “ Oh yes!, I'm here concerning our discussion yesterday,” She said happily jumping up and down. “Yesterday?” I ask her, shocked, as I search my br

Even Lillian had joined us this time, I couldn't help regretting dragging her into my mess.I stared into the whitewashed room of the courtroom but I wasn't really seeing anything.

I paced around my office in anticipation, ever since our last call with Lillian, we couldn't get in touch with her. She had refused to answer any of our calls and had sent it to her voicemail.“ Any luck with her yet?” I turned to ask Danny who was trying her phone again. I could see the worry etch his brows as sweat streamed down his face. I couldn't help being annoyed with myself that I had caused everything. I regretted ever bringing him and Lillian into this mess. Hell, I regretted ever risking my wife and children's life. If only I never met Deborah then none of this would have happened.“ Not yet. She just won't pick up even after leaving her a dozen messages. She's just so stubborn especially when it comes to Nina” Danny exclaimed running his hands through his hair in frustration as he paced to and fro

“ Joey, come on. Please stop crying.

I don't know what's going on with them. And who the fuck is Deborah? I so hate her” He screamed at me as he turned to watch me from the doorway trying to dab at his now teary eyes.I strolled to pull him close as I let him sobbed on my shoulder, ignoring him using the swear word. Any other day, I would have scolded him but today, I decided to let him be since he was hurting so badly.“ It's okay son, momma understands.

I couldn't help being worried about them. Is Deborah taking care of them? Have they eaten?A lot of things are going through my mind but there's no one to talk to.

He was a Spanish business tycoon who had quite a fortune but didn't know how to invest his money. He was just on the news a while back because of his eighteen years old, fifth wife who had squandered his money on a designer outfit that cost a thousand dollars.“ I'm not forcing you to invest in my company but I'd like you to remember that if you don't invest your fortun
