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
