Chapter 30“Aemon?” she called when her eyes opened and there was no Aemon beside her or even in the room. With how the bed looks like, he was probably here minutes ago. Did he wake up so early again? Because Aemon has been waking up early just to prepare her breakfast. That is how he takes care of her so well. He is treating her like a baby. Lily woke up and did her routine. It is still hard to move around because of her wounds. She could not even wash her face well because of her wounded palms. But then, this is better than dying in that match. “Good morning, Miss Lily.” The maid greeted her with a shining smile while she was busy mopping the floor upstairs. “Morning. Have you seen Aemon?” she immediately asked. This mansion is too big to find him by herself. It would be a torture for her. All her wounds hurt like hell every time she wakes up. That is why sometimes, she just wants to sleep to prevent feeling its hellish pain. “I think I saw him on the veranda outside, Miss Lily.
Chapter 31“Mr. Ong, let us talk about this. I can explain everything,” Leonora was almost begging while talking with Mr. Ong who wants to withdraw his shares in her company. Even though she is already a billionaire, she knows that it will be tough to lose someone like him in a business. Mr. Ong is what everyone dreams of having in their businesses. “I don’t need your explanation, Leonora. You cheated and that is enough,” he uttered in his coldest voice, despising Leonora so much. “It was not true and I can prove that to you!” she slammed her hands on her desk in anger. Mr. Ong was stunned by what she did but she was so upset that she is refraining herself to kill this d*mn man. If only Raf didn’t betray her, this won’t happen. Now, everything is a mess. Once Mr. Ong avenged his son. she will definitely lose all the biggest holders and investors in her company. That only means that this company will come to its end—bankruptcy. “And how would you prove that?” he asked, challenging h
Chapter 32“Does it still hurt?” Aemon asked after cleaning her wounds. It’s not as bad as before, but it still hurts like hell. However, she can move around better than before. “Yeah, but it’s tolerable now.” She lied to avoid worrying Aemon. She is aware how frustrated he is these past few days already. It is all because of Rafael and Leonora. She doesn’t want to add another burden to him. “Do you want something? I will be cooking.” He uttered and stood up. This is the hardest thing she is used to. When she gets better, everything will be back to what it used to be. Aemon goes to his company so early and comes back in the evening. There she goes again, where she was longing for her husband’s presence.“I’m craving fried chicken,” she answered and wrapped her arms around his waist. Among all the soaring waves and striking storms, she finds this calming and peaceful—away from all the perils that surround them. “I’ll cook it for you,” he said and planted a soft kiss on her forehead.
Chapter 33“Who is she to you, Frederick?” Lily asked while Aemon and their grandmother were taking care of all the mess that happened today. First, the viral video of Rafael. Second, the dead body of the woman that suddenly appeared in front of the gate of their grandmother’s house. Lily was just curious on how Frederick reacted. He was really mad up until now. Since they saw that, he remained silent. But Lily knows that he has been pondering about everything. Anger can be seen just by his face.“Maybe someone he had a one-night-stand with,” Leonora uttered sarcastically. “Shut the fvck up,” Rafael said and gave her his deadly eyes. They have been exchanging sharp stares since earlier. “It’s not my point,” Frederick said beside Lily. Her eyebrows crossed when he said that. Does it mean that he is suspecting something? Because the sudden death and appearance of that woman he was with last night based on the picture Lily saw is suspicious. It was indeed planned by someone. “It look
Chapter 34“The entire Coopers will have dinner tonight,” Aemon announced to his wife after receiving the message from his grandmother. It is definitely because of all the issues his cousins are in. Until now, the world is talking about the viral video of Rafael that shows violence. They didn’t hear anything from the woman on the video or even from the man he almost killed though. Their side remained silent as Rafael did. Lily chuckled. “I can smell another mess,” she anticipated. Knowing that Leonora and Rafael despised each other, they will probably attack each other anytime. “You should not go out without bodyguards or me, the media are lingering around us.” That is exactly the problem here. One mess of a Cooper is also a mess of the entire Cooper. They are involved here even though they didn’t do anything. “How can I? In this condition?” she uttered and shook her head. The wounds are healing really slow. Thankfully, Aemon is here to help her out that outweighs the burden of bei
Chapter 35“He was the one who killed her!” he exclaimed, pertaining to the woman he was with. They were all shocked and confused. All of them are looking at him with their captivated attention by Frederick’s accusation to Rafael. Frederick was fuming mad until now. “What the hell are you talking about?” Rafael’s father asked in surprise. Only Lily and Aemon know about what is happening.“What is the meaning of this, Rafael?” their grandmother now asked, trying to hold back her anger. “I am not killing anyone, Frederick. How dare you accuse me of killing one of your women?!” Rafael exclaimed back, trying to defend his innocence from that issue. His hand was blocking his arm that was bleeding while Lily and Aemon stayed with him. “Stop lying, Raf! We found your watch in her hand!” Frederick growled in anger and tried to attack him again. Good thing, they were strong enough to refrain him from doing that. “What are you talking about?” Raf asked as his eyebrows crossed. “Where is y
Chapter 36 “Are you trying to poison me?” “Aemon!” Lily yelled when Aemon pushed the table like it was only a piece of paper. His hand found the knife that is meant for the steak and now cornering the neck of his Uncle who’s pinned on the wall. His grandmother pulled Lily in her back and didn’t stop Aemon from doing that. Their men pointed their guns to her Uncle’s men. The stainless spoon turned black, it only means that there was poison in her soup. “How dare you try to poison my wife?” Aemon said in his deep and scary voice. No one cannot be frightened with those dark eyes of his right now.“I am innocent! W-Why would I poison m-my own n-niece?!” He exclaimed and tried to clean his image. “Who fvcking put poison in the soup?!” Her Uncle yelled out loud beyond the tip of the knife that Aemon was pointing at his neck. “Are you okay?” Lily asked their grandmother after what happened. Aemon and her already took a bite from the food.“I am fine, Lily. I think he only poisoned yours
Chapter 37"My next plan is to destroy Lily," the woman proposed to the man who was caressing her hair. He stopped as soon as the woman said that. "What?" he asked with a glimpse of annoyance from his voice. The woman looked at her when he reacted that way as if he was so insensitive. "I said I am planning to destroy her. It's time to touch her n—" he pushed her away that made her almost lose her balance. It was too strong and sudden. She was surprised and confused when he did that to her. He was upset as he was looking at her."What the hell? What's your problem?" she asked. "Don't you dare touch Lily," he squeezed her arm really hard while eyeing her directly. "You're hurting me," she uttered and tried to resist. But he was too cold and mad from those eyes of his at her as if she had done a huge sin. "Try to touch her and you will be fvcking facing me." He said in his sturdy voice, giving warning to her. She stared at him and realized something. In the end, a small smile flashe
Chapter 91"I want his head," Lily said with her weak voice. "Lily!" Eliza shouted and now showed up running towards her. She was bleeding with all the wounds she just got."Are you okay?" Aemon asked and cupped her face softly."As long as the baby is fine," she uttered, catching her breathing. "We should leave," Eliza said. "No," Lily disagreed and stood up by herself beyond the pain that felt like hell in her entire body. With her knife on the shore, got washed with the water and cleansed the blood that painted it earlier, she picked it up and held it tightly."I said I want his head," she uttered. "What?" Eliza asked in surprise."I think you should not be here," Frederick said and held Eliza on her wrist."Gosh, your arms are bleeding, Frederick!" She exclaimed hysterically. "Use this," Leonora said and handed her a long knife bigger than her small knife. "I will do the honor," Lily said firmly. "That's brutal," Paul whispered. She looked at the ocean as soon as she began
Chapter 90It was filled with screaming from the innocent people who were involved in the war between them. The gunshots going around makes their ears ache. Lily was behind the car, holding her gun while breathing fast. Her other hand was holding her belly with a small smile on her lips. She never thought that she would actually face danger without Aemon beside her. "Lily," Leonora called and sat beside her with the gun. "All our men are here now, your Uncle just arrived.""What about Paul?" She asked."He's still not answering," she replied. "They are killing all the innocent lives here," Lily said and now stood up. They are not aiming for them yet. All they wanted was to clean up the place before they killed each other."Gather everyone and be ready," Lily ordered Leonora.She was scared. How can she hide that when it's running through her spine? In her entire body? It's fear that's eating her. But not because of what might happen. But because Aemon is not with her. She's so scare
Chapter 89"Ouch," Eliza uttered as soon as Lily's knife touched her cheek. Frederick was to the rescue and shed the blood on the small cut that Lily gave her using the small white cloth. "You should take it easy, Lily. She's a newbie," Frederick commented. Lily shook her head with a playful smile for him."You were hard on me when you trained me," Lily mentioned unbelievably. "None in this world would take her easy," Leonora said while playing with the knife in her hand. "I'm fine," Eliza said and disregarded the small cut. "You have to learn how to fight not for us, but to defend yourself. I would never be fine dying without trying to fight," Rafael discussed as he sat on the grass. The entire area was full of them, practicing their skills for the war. "Where's Paul anyways?" Frederick asked."He's still with my Uncle," Lily replied. "I wonder if they have another lead for Aemon," Leonora mentioned. It's been five days now since the accident. The war is near to end once that b
Chapter 88"I'm on my way, fvck!" Paul exclaimed and began to drive, leaving the place where Aemon and Lily got into an accident. His hands were shaking while driving so fast like the strike of a thunder. "Make it f-fast. I feel l-like dying, assh*le." Aemon said over the phone trying to hold on and live. "I'll be there. Just hold on, you can't die! I don't want to stand as the father of your chi—""F-Fvck you, w-why would y-you be my c-child's father?!" He exclaimed with his weak voice."That's why you must live!" Paul exclaimed. They hung up as Paul was on his way to the address he said. He can feel how much in pain Aemon was. That weak voice explains his current situation. He was in the ocean for 3 days and woke up on the shore. A child only found him and he asked him to give him some clothes. After that, he left to contact Paul as soon as possible. His plan must go on beyond his situation."Sir!" The maid called hysterically as she captured their eyes in the dining area. They w
Chapter 87"D*mn it," Leonora cursed out loud while scrolling on her phone. "What is it this time?" Raf asked in distress."It's all over the news now," she said and threw her phone towards Raf. Lily wasn't surprised anymore. Of course, they cannot hide it from everyone for too long. Even her pregnancy was discovered when they were hiding it to the world. "Aemon Cooper got into an accident with his wife," Raf read all the posts that people were talking about now. "Aemon Cooper is missing," he added before he turned off the phone. "I can't read this," he said and massaged his forehead."I guess my Mom will now know, right?" Lily asked and smirked bitterly. "I actually don't want her to know." She added. Of course, Lily doesn't want her to feel stressed about all of this. "Your Uncle knows. But then, he has been busy finding Aemon." Frederick said when he entered the room with Eliza behind her. They were holding food for all of them. "Grandma just died. Now, it's Aemon who's missin
Chapter 86"Did you make this?" Loenora asked Raf who made them all a coffee. "I did," he said with a proud smile on his lips. "It's just a coffee," Eliza said and took a sip."Are you offending me?" Raf asked."It's the truth," Paul uttered and chuckled."Ungrateful brats," he commented and shook his head. "You should have added a cre—" Leonora stopped when her cellphone rang."Make your own coffee," Raf said and glared at her."Who's that?" Eliza asked."I don't know," Leonora said before taking the call."Hello?""Good afternoon, is this Leonora Cooper?" The woman asked on the call. Her eyebrows crossed for a moment."Yes, speaking." She replied."This is Lee's Hospital, Aemon Cooper and Lily Cooper got into an accident. Are you related to them?" The woman asked, which made Leonora stand up all of a sudden with her eyes widened."Accident?" She asked in her stunned voice. "What's going on?" Paul asked immediately and stood up. "Yes, please come to the hospital. I'll send you t
Chapter 85"Lily," Aemon called as he entered their room. He found his wife laying on the bed with her eyes closed. Of course, she's upset about what he is planning to do. "Lily," he called for the second time and even combed her hair gently."If you're here to convince me with that plan, please leave me alone." Lily said and moved away from him. Aemon took a deep sigh as he stood in front of her."Lily, you know why I'm doing this." Aemon said. Lily chuckled and couldn't help but to wake up and face her husband."Aemon, we're married. You're gonna bring us there while you're all by yourself here?" Lily asked unbelievably and cackled."I have my cousi—""And if you die, what will happen to me? I will forever regret moving away, huh? Is that what you want?" She smirked bitterly."I won't die, Lily." Aemon swore."You're not God, Aemon. Grandma died all of a sudden." Her tears began to betray her again with that conversation."Lily, you have to understand. You know this fight is not ju
Chapter 84"Are you considering my options?" Frederick asked in surprise. He never thought that Aemon would actually consider that option. "I think so," Aemon said. "I will be struggling so much if Lily is not with me." He added as he sighed with frustration. "It could be the better option. But we're also not sure," Paul said while his fingers were lingering on his chin, thinking about everything."And why?" Raf asked."That man has no limitations. He can search for Lily in this whole world. We cannot hide them that easily and I don't think she should go there with Eliza. There must be one of us to leave with them." Paul discussed. He was always keen and wise with all of this. "We cannot leave," Frederick said. Even if he wants to come, they can't. They are the one who must face that evil.Paul sighed and shook his head. "I'll do it," he uttered, capturing their eyes."Really?" Aemon asked. "I'm not a Cooper. Besides, this is your fight and not me. I also want to distance myself t
Chapter 83 "You fvcking sh*t, your daughter's life is not enough for what you did." Leonora's mother said while pointing the gun at them. "I'm not yet done," he said with tears from his eyes, holding the lifeless body of his daughter. His eyes shifted to Lily who was shivering in anger. "I will not let this slide," he added. Lily smirked and remained her eyes at him."You came here to pay your respect to our grandmother, right?" Lily asked sarcastically. "How dare you?" Lily added before that evil smile faded on her lips as she wore his deadly and coldest eyes at him that will surely creep him out."Our deepest condolences to your daughter who just passed away." She said in her stern voice. "I WILL KILL YOU!" "GO KILL ME YOU BASTARD!" She said and now pointed the gun on his spare eye. All his men couldn't fight at all as the Coopers cornered them. One wrong move and they will all die here."You might lose your one eye today if you don't leave," Aemon said. His eyes towards him w
