Chapter 44Rafael and Leonora arrived together. The plan of their arrivals by order didn't happen too. They were all stubborn and couldn't wait any longer to go on vacation. "Look at those girls," Paul whispered to Frederick and Rafael while they were all under the coconut trees that were giving them shelter from the bright light of the sun. "Woah," Rafael commented and whistled when the three women passed by. They looked at them, especially to Frederick who was just wearing his fierce face while giving them his dull eyes. He looks bored and uninterested for the first time to women. "Frederick, I think that blonde girl is interested in you! Have you seen her sticky eyes? D*mn, bro!" Rafael said, having fun around. Their eyes are being fed here with all the sexy bodies of women. "Oh, men." Leonora commented and took a sip to her ice tea. What should she expect of her cousins? She has been with them for a long time and they always do them around. "Is that a real tattoo?" she asked
Chapter 45They were filled with silence, staring at each other's eyes. Aemon was ignoring the guild that was knocking on his chest. He was being tempted to tell her the truth, but the fear of losing her is pulling him back. "Are you hiding something, Aemon?" Lily repeated for the second time. It was a chance for him to tell it to her, but he couldn't speak. He was indeed lost for words that he couldn't utter anything. "Aemon,""I'm not hiding anything from you, Lily." He answered with firmness and truth. That is what he made. Aemon chose not to tell her the truth when he had the chance to. Lily was still eyeing him, not moving from those eyes. She was trying to read his exquisite eyes that were always blank before, like a piece of empty paper. Until now, she couldn't read anything from those eyes. She cannot even tell if he's telling her the truth. He isn't giving her the benefit of the doubt. "Okay," Lily uttered bitterly. Their plan to have a boodle fight happened. But then, it
Chapter 46"We must make a huge step," the woman said with a playful smile playing on her lips. It was a smell of victory that was almost near their hands. "Fvck! That is what I'm telling you! We can easily ruin their marriage with that crime," the man cackled and clapped his hands like a champion. They were both on top of the world. The fact that Aemon was the one behind the death of Lily's father spice everything up in their plan. "We should scare them a little bit, to make it more fun." The woman suggested, planning everything in her head. "We have to add fuel to the fire," the man commented. "Why don't we kidnap Lily's mother? We will hide her for real until they all go crazy looking for her," the man suggested with his evil smile. They were both looking at each other with everything running in their heads. "Lily is mad at her mother," the woman uttered. The man nodded with his high-spirited smile, "She is. But she could never let her mother die," he caressed her soft cheeks
Chapter 47"Lily!" Aemon shouted when she drove the car so fast and left them all in the event. "What the hell is happening?!" he yelled out loud to Leonora, Frederick and Rafael who were with her earlier. "I don't know, she was just talking with someone on her phone." Leonora explained with so many questions as well. The people are looking around as chaos. All of them have no idea what's going on. Lily just left angry and panicked without telling them a word. "I think she was being threatened," Frederick answered as they were all outside. "Maybe the one who called her is using her mother to scare her." He added, completing the puzzle. "Aemon, I don't want a mess in my Grand Opening." Their grandmother said firmly. "Move your fvcking ass! We're following her," Leonora said immediately and pulled themselves back to their senses. Aemon didn't talk anymore and grabbed the keys of his grandmother. "I apologize. There's an emergency with my grandsons and granddaughters," their Grandma
Chapter 48"Who are they?" the guard asked as he stopped the car parked in front of the gate. It was a moment of silence. There was no move from the person inside the car. The man couldn't see who was the driver because the car was tinted. Slowly, the car's door opened and a woman came out of the car, wearing a black tube dress. "Hi, there." She greeted. "Who are you?" The guard asked. It gives him chills to see the woman's devilish smile on her lips. At first glance, she couldn't be trusted. "I just have to get someone from here," she uttered. The woman was playing around and he could feel it. The fear began to burst from him but he remained standing in front of them, fulfilling his duties to the job he has. "I will ask my boss if she knows you fi—" one shot from her gun and the man fell on the ground along with the blood that began to spread on the ground. No one heard it because of the silencer. "Get her!" she ordered as soon as her smile dropped from her lips. All his men par
Chapter 49"Don't leave yet," Aemon's secretary stopped as soon as Lily made her to. All their eyes were drawn at her, confused about what was happening. "What's the matter?" Frederick asked Lily as he went near her after seeing the scene that was happening. "Lily, what's happening?" Aemon asked and now looked at his secretary who was still not facing them. They were all waiting for her to face them. Slowly, she pulled herself to finally face Lily Cooper. Her eyes were sharp and blank like a piece of blank paper. It was true, those lovely eyes of hers can also give goosebumps. Those were unreadable. She couldn't figure out what was running through her mind. "Hello, Mrs. Cooper…it's been a while," she greeted and gave her a wide soft smile. Lily focused and remained her eyes from her. She knew at that moment that it was exactly the voice of that woman on the phone. But then, Lily stayed on act. She kept her head up as she began to walk towards her, wearing a tender—but deceiving smi
Chapter 50"You have beautiful and healthy hair, Lily." Her mother uttered while combing her hair gently. They were both in front of the mirror and Lily was watching the huge smile on her mother's face. That smile was her favorite smile among all the smiles in the world. It always shines and it calms her in many aspects. Everytime she looks at her, she sees a million reasons why her father is so in love with her. She's like a gem that everyone wants to have and steal from his father. "It's because you always take care of it," the young Lily said with a sweet smile. "I will always take care of you, Lily." She answered, filled with love. "I have a question, Mom." The young Lily said. Her eyes were filled with curiosity, exploring everything in this world. "Go on, feel free to ask." Her mother said and continued combing her red hair. "Do you love Dad?" she asked. It was all of a sudden that her mother froze temporarily with that question. Lily was young at the moment, and she wasn't
Chapter 51"I found this in your Mom's house," Lily's Uncle said. "Sir Frederick," his two men arrived and intervened from the evidence that her Uncle brought them. "What is it?" he asked immediately. "She's the traitor," they confirmed before giving the envelope in their hands to Frederick. Lily quickly went at him as he remembered that he made them follow her and investigate her. "Wait, what's happening here?" Aemon asked with confusion. "Frederick investigated your secretary," Paul uttered beside him. There are pictures inside the brown envelope. It was his secretary, going to an abandoned place and wearing different clothes. Those pictures don't look like her. She looks wealthy and different from what they have seen of her. "I was right," Lily commented. "I told you that it was her voice, Aemon…I almost got her!" She exclaimed furiously. That woman was already in her hands. She was near to kill her only if Aemon didn't meddle up. "Call Leonora," Frederick said to Rafael.
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
