LILY’S POV

ONE YEAR LATER

“Love, can you please check up on the baby? I need to pee,” I called out to Derek before rushing into the bathroom. I heard him saying something that sounded like yes but I didn’t bother to listen. I was so pressed that if I didn’t rush into the toilet like that, I would’ve messed myself up.

Once I was done, I took my time before coming out. I knew Derek got her, he’s been by her side the moment she was born and never left mine either. He has proved to me that he was a good dad and I’m so proud of him.

Three months into my pregnancy, I told him I got a job but he was not comfortable with it and I had to convince him that it wasn’t anything strenuous. I’d learned how to program as a starter and I got an internship program that helped developed me into a junior developer.

I know it's stressful when combined with college and the baby but I took a gap year to focus on my career and my child. Once I’m ready, I’ll get back it college and maybe change my degre

    Derek's POV The terrible ringing of my phone made me look away from the CCTV screen at the VIP section of my club. It was one of the most expensive clubs in the city and whenever I get reports of someone sniffing around my club or acting suspicious, I check the CCTV for confirmation before I command for him to be brought to me. When it comes to my club, I only care about two things, Money and the damn reputation. My phone started ringing the second time. I wanted to ignore it thinking it was my mother but I stopped when I saw it was my private detective. The same one I hired to tiptoe around the ones surrounding me and give me the necessary information that's important. It might sound like I’m stalking them but no, I'm just making sure everything is in its damn place. "Talk to me," I said loudly intothe phone, trying to beat the sound of the music with my loud voice. "Big news

    Derek's POV "This is highly ridiculous, mother. There's no way that I'm agreeing to this bullshit" I practically yelled at the top of my voice. After throwing the document in my face, I realized my signature was truly on the paper and concluded that my mother had set me up with a hot, sexy vixen just to make me get married to the girl she had come with. I quickly pushed the thoughts of the rendezvous night I had with the girl and faced the matter at hand. We were currently sitting in my living room while the girl who came with her was sitting in the dining area. I didn't even spare her another look after she walked in with my mother. "Well! Your signature says otherwise" My mother replied. "I didn't sign this mother, you blackmailed me, and you set me up with that witch" I yelled. "Oh my God, Derek, you dare accuse your mothe

    Lily's POV The moment Mrs. Miller walked out of the house, I was left with the hulk of a man, Mr. Miller. He turned to look at me and I didn't fail to recognize the disgust and hatred that was in those gorgeous green eyes of his. I'd grown to know that look and it never left me even if I closed my eyes at night to sleep. I quickly turned away, afraid to be burnt to ashes by his hot stares. I looked down at the skirt I was wearing, I quickly started playing with it, not ready to look up or begin a conversation with this huge man. When Mrs. Miller had told me she wanted to get me married to her son, I thought he would be a different person entirely, I never knew he would be this angry and handsome at the same time. "What was the negotiation you had with my mother?" He asked. His voice was loud, too loud to believe I was just righ

    Derek"Somebody looks as grumpy as hell," Sebastian commented as he walked into his office that evening.Sebastian was my childhood friend, we've been friends for more than eight years, and literally, we've been through childhood, puberty, and adolescence together. He was the only person who could tolerate me for who I was."What are you doing in my office by this time of the day?" Sebastian asked once he realized no response was coming from Derek."Because I have the key," I replied. He raised an eyebrow and walked close to me.He opened his palm. "My key?"I moved away from him. "Not in a million years will I return it. I just came here to cool off, I didn't know you would come around,"He frowned. "I always knew someone was using my office behind my back and I'm glad it's you by the way," He smiled."Why are you here?" I asked him.&n

    Lily's POV "Can you move away from me?" Derek asked. He was angry, his jaws clenched as he pushed me away from him. His shirt was moist with my tears at the spot where I'd held him. I don't know why I do that because I don't normally do that. I hated being in close proximity with people. "Sorry, sorry about that, I don't want to, I didn't know.. I don't really," I stuttered, too scared to process what I wanted to say. "Can you just shut up for five seconds?" He yelled. I shivered at the intensity of his words. "Sorry," "Stop saying sorry, I don't want to hear that motherfucking word from your mouth," He groaned and walked away from me. It took me a minute to settle down and control my emotions but still, few tears leaked out of my face. I felt strangulated, tired and weak. I watched as

    Lily’s POV“Good morning, Lily right?” A beautiful brunette asked as she waltzed into Derek’s home like she owned the place. She didn’t act like a visitor and that made me wonder who she was. She didn’t bother to knock as well, she just walked in.“Yes,” I replied, not sure if I should be replying or asking her who she was. Derek was currently in his room after throwing an unnecessary tantrum because his mother asked him to change the lights in his house. After calling me crazy, he barged out of the house, came back a few minutes later, and hadn’t come out of his room yet.“I’m Arianna, Derek’s cousin,” She finally introduced herself and I nodded.“I’m lily,” I informed her. She immediately smiled at me, telling me she knew who I was and that it was Mrs. Miller who sent her to the house.“Where’s D

    Derek’s POVIt was Monday morning and for the first time, I was doing the unexpected. I drove to my dad’s office based on the stupid contract agreement that I signed foolishly. If Henry and Sebastian hear about this, they won’t let it go until they grill me till I’m burnt. “Good morning dad,” I entered his office unannounced. He looked up from his table and pointed towards the door, “Go back to the door and knock like a responsible human,” He demanded. I glared at him before smirking and walking outside his office. I knocked twice and he asked me to come in. “Good morning, son. When your mother told me you’ll be at the office today, I was surprised. What’s going on? Did your nightclubs business fold up,” I sat down opposite him after drawing out the chair. “I’m a competent businessman, my clubs can never fold up. I built it up with nobody’s help, trust me, I know how to handle myself,” I informed h

    LILY’S POV After the first time, I tried to cook for Derek and he yelled at my face, I stopped trying to please him. It was evident that he’s a naturally angry man and he gets angry for a living. If he’s to get paid for the number of times he got angry since I came here, he would probably own two houses on this street and not one. It was Saturday night and just like Friday night, Derek had left the house around 6 in the evening, the only difference was his dressing, he dressed casually on Friday but today, he dressed like he had an event he would be attending. I could finally turn the lights on as I wasn’t sensitive to these types of lights. I sat on the couch with a bowl of popcorn to watch one of my favorite shows. It was a marathon night by the way. I was on the third episode when my phone started ringing. I rushed towards the dining area where the phone was and saw it was Mrs. Miller.

    DEREK'S POV “Would that have made you feel so much better about yourself? Would you have felt accepted by the family? Would that have been enough to erase the fact that you’re nothing but a bastard?” I gritted my teeth.He started growling like a wild dog, repeatedly.“You shouldn’t have messed with Lily. She wasn’t a part of the family from the start, she shouldn’t have had to pay for the sins of our parents, she had enough already on her plate. Q wouldn’t have died and the family wouldn’t be in so much pain,” I told him.“She chose you and that was her offense. I had my eyes on her since she was at mom’s agency. I’ve always wanted to have a taste of her but mom took her to you and even when I moved into your house, all she wanted was you and not me, why? I would rather kill her than listen to that answer,” Inodded, realizing he was an unapologetic, unrepentant and crazy bastard.“I’m not disappointed in you, Caster because I knew just who you are, I could see through you when othe

    DEREK’S POVI banged my hand on the table, controlling the anger that was already boiling inside of me. I was at the police station with my parents, Alex and Arianna. Lily had refused to come to see Caster on the excuse that she had a class but I knew it was because she didn’t want to see him or she wasn’t ready.I don’t know how Arianna summoned the courage to come with us but if I was her, I wouldn’t have been able to. Alex, on the other hand, had tried talking to Arianna but she wasn’t bulging. I was the only person she was talking to, the rest were being ignored and I mean my parents.“You’re telling me that someone knew Caster messed up with Lily’s car but you had to wait till the accident before you did something, right?” I asked my dad again for the third time because I didn’t want to believe the answer he was giving me every damn time.“I’m sorry, Derek, the guy I hired said the only way they could lure him out was to wait for the accident to happen. There’s no way Caster woul

    DEREK’S POV We decided to keep the pregnancy news from the family. It was a mutual agreement between Lily and I. we thought it was for the best for the safety of both mother and child. The family was still dealing with Caster’s case and we didn’t want to put ourselves in danger by revealing the news.“Why did all these pregnancy symptoms decide to wait for two months before hitting me?” Lily groaned as she walked down the stairs.“Did you throw up again?” She nodded.“For the second time this morning alone,” Damn! That was bad. I was beginning to get worried about her. Even though the doctor said it was normal, I still wasn’t okay with it.“You should’ve called me, baby,” She laughed as she walked into the kitchen.“Meanwhile, what bomb have you been cooking up in here? Everywhere is a mess,” She started laughing again. I could only smile as I watch her laughing her ass off at the current state of the kitchen.“Well, I’ve been preparing pancake,”She stopped laughing, her mouth fell

    LILY’S POV “You can leave now, my family will soon be here for me,” I dismissed the woman standing in front of me.“You don’t have to be so mean, Ataraxia,”I gritted my teeth as I glared at her. It took everything in me not to face her and yell like a lunatic right now.“My name is Lily, not Ataraxia, and thank you for your help, I’ll compensate you if you want,” I told her again for the tenth time and still counting.A few hours ago, I was on my way to get some groceries from the store when my car’s brake stopped working all of a sudden. I couldn’t even hold my emotions together as I saw my life flash in front of my eyes. I could only beg God to take the wheels because, at that point, death was calling. My car maneuvered out of the road and hit a street pole.Even though that stopped the car, both the car and street pole were damaged. Smoke was everywhere in the car and as I tried to open the door, I realized that I was stuck. I couldn’t find my phone to make a call and help wasn’t

    DEREK’S POV “I found out that Roman returned to Italy a few weeks ago, precisely two days after Q was buried,” Sebastian informed us.Well, we were currently meeting at my office together with Luke. Someone has been messing up with things a lot around my house and the mansion. My parents don’t feel safe and my dad had to suggest for my mom leave town for a few months till we can get things back to normal.Caster is still MIA but we could all tell some of those things were his handwork. Threat notes were being sent to our homes, strange calls as well as someone messing up with the car tires while we were out. It’s like he’s stalking us all every minute.“Your Intel is fast, I’ll give him that,” Sebastian rolled his eyes at Luke’s comment.“Are you serious right now? I’m trying to help here, what have you done?” Luke scoffed.“It took you and your Intel a few weeks to realize that Roman wasn’t in town and probably not helping Caster.

    DEREK’S POV “Uh, I still want to sleep,” Lily groaned as I drove to my parents’ house that Saturday morning. I had to wake her up by eight and she grumbled for more than thirty minutes as we got dressed and left the house. “You should have some sleep before we get there,” I advised. She mumbled something incoherent before she closed her eyes and slept off. I smiled as I took in her features; her plump pink lips, those butterfly eyelashes, and her beautiful nose, I want to keep kissing them for the rest of my life. A few minutes later, we arrived at the house. She was already awake, complaining about how she still needed more sleep. “We can officially call you sleeping beauty now,” I joked. She glared at me and I smiled. “You don’t have the right to throw a joke at me right now,” I frowned. “Why?” “Why didn’t you tell me earlier that we’ll be visiting your parents this morning? We were at the club till 1 am and you still didn’t let me sleep when I got back,” I grinned. “Don’t

    DEREK’S POV It took everything in me to not stand up and punch Damien when he walked into my club a few hours after the show started.The artist that was invited had already concluded his performance and left after signing and taking pictures with some of his fans. I thought Lily would love a picture with him but my girl stood back, shook her head when I mentioned it, and told me she wasn’t a fan. She was just here to support me and accompany Brandon and Scarlet.After the concert ended, about a hundred thousand fans of the guy wanted to party at the club but I had to turn down about 90,000 of them. Ten thousand people were enough, I couldn’t risk having such a large number of people in such a place. It’ll be bad for business.“Don’t do anything crazy, Derek,” Lily pulled my hand, already noticing how I was glaring at Damien. He had told me he won’t be here, so what’s with the surprise?“I promise, I’ll only hit him once,” I smirked, letting her know he was getting his ass beaten up

    LILY’S POV On Friday afternoon, after my final paper, I came out to find Brandon and Scarlet waiting for me. I was surprised that Brandon would actually be here. I know I told Scarlet that I would be giving them free passes to the concert at Derek’s club but I still doubted Brandon’s presence because of what happened with Derek. That was the last time I saw him though. He’s been MIA since then around me and even though Scarlet and I met a few times after that, he never showed up.“I wasn’t expecting you to show up, Brandon. I thought you still hate me and Derek,” He snorted. I couldn’t help smiling.“I might hate Derek but I don’t hate you and who am I to say no to a free pass to that concert. So many people are trying to buy the ticker but can’t. It’s not even available anymore,” He said excitedly.The concert has been the talk of the town and for like a week now, everywhere I turn to in school, people were talking about buying the concert. I’m so proud of my man.“So, am I off your
