Chapter 70Lily was trembling. Her heart was drumming so loud as she couldn't breathe properly as if it was held for a moment. Aemon couldn't speak at all after Lily revealed her pregnancy. It was not her plan. She was near to tell them about it, but why does he have to know at this moment? The guilt of conscience was knocking on her chest. Aemon couldn't absorb what she just said. His world stopped temporarily while looking at his wife. "Y-You're what?" he asked. "I'm pregnant…we're having a child," Lily said as her voice broke. Not because of sadness but in happiness that fills her heart. She never knew that what she was trying to hide from him before would make her the happiest right now. Tears began to rain from her eyes while eyeing Aemon. They have been through a lot. It's been a rolling coaster for the two of them. And now, here they are, becoming parents. "Since when?" Aemon asked firmly. He was too stunned to take action. "Since when I was on that island," Lily said and
Chapter 71As usual, the wind is blowing swiftly. The ocean's waves were roaring softly. There was no noise that made the place serene, away from the real world. The trees and plants around were dancing gently by the wind. Lily was out, standing at her favorite spot. She can spend her entire life on this island. "Lily," Aemon called as he walked towards Lily wearing his sunglasses with his hands buried in his pockets. She smiled softly as her husband arrived. "Hey," she uttered. "Time to leave," he said and grabbed her waist closer to him. Lily nodded before she sighed as she glanced at the ocean again. "I'm not ready to leave," she said and smiled weakly. This ocean became her home. "You were so mad when I kidnapped you and I brought you here," Aemon said and chuckled. "Not on this island, I love it." She replied. Even though she loves this island, they cannot escape forever. They cannot run from the life they both have. "I have a question," she uttered before her eyes shifted
Chapter 72"What is it this time?" Raf asked. "Mango graham, and mango graham cake." He said and showed what he made for his wife. Raf sighed, getting sick of mangoes. "I'm getting sick of it," he uttered. "Well, this is not for you." Aemon said harshly. "They are done," Paul commented as he appeared in the kitchen."Really? I thought my grandma would sleep with my wife with her nonstop stories," Aemon said in distress. She has been so protective to Lily that she couldn't bear not to see Lily around her. "Where's Lily?" Aemon asked when the three of them went back to the living room. Their grandmother was only on the sofa, busy on her phone while waiting for Lily. "Oh, she went upstairs. She will be back, we still have a lot to talk about." She giggled like a teenager. How many things do they have to talk about? "What? You're not done yet?" Raf asked in surprise. "I pity Lily," Paul murmured. How can she bear listening to all her stories for how many hours? She's probably tryin
Chapter 73“Eliza!” Lily shouted as soon as she came out of their car and Eliza was there in front of the guards. It’s a good thing that they let them sit while waiting though. She will be pissed if she saw her standing the entire time while waiting for her. “Goodness, you’re finally here.” She uttered when Lily hugged her tight. This girl traveled a long way. “Why didn’t you tell me that you’re coming?” Lily asked. She was really surprised by her sudden arrival. “Girl, I want to surprise you. But these guys surprised me,” she said and rolled her eyes at them. “I was terrified, they have huge bodies.” She added and wrapped her hands on her arm. “Don’t mind them, they won’t bite you.” Lily said and chuckled. “Anyways, I bought you mangoes and some other fruits. Gosh, you should eat other fruits too, you know?” “Who is that?” Raf asked Leonora. They are all out of their cars while watching Lily talk with that new girl. “She’s kinda pretty,” Paul commented.“Woah, are you starting
Chapter 74“What?” Lily asked while her hands were shivering. Her heart suddenly began to pound as she looked at Aemon. Meanwhile, Eliza was biting her lip after hearing that. She kept trying to tell her earlier that Ron is actually coming with her. But then, they kept cutting her out. Now, it has become a problem. “What the hell is he doing here?” Frederick asked when he came inside after smoking. Eliza smelled the reek of a cigarette as he came back. Well, Frederick knows him. Leonora and him saw how that guy kissed Lily. They were also there when Aemon almost killed him. “Let him in,” Aemon said coldly. “Aemon,” Lily called, stunned by his sudden decision. It’s not like he doesn’t want to see Ron. It’s just that they might start a fight. “Copy, sir.” The man said and quickly ran outside. “He is your friend, right?” He asked. Lily could not answer at all with those cold eyes. He was obviously sarcastic. Well, Aemon will never forget how that man kissed his woman while they were
Chapter 75“Yes, just send me all the files that I have to check, okay?” Aemon said to his secretary over the phone. Lily was sleeping peacefully while he was working beside her. His laptop was on his lap while there were papers around the bed. Good thing that Lily does not move a lot when she’s sleeping. It sounds crazy, but his exhaustion fades when he looks at his wife. She is like a medicine to him.“I will not be able to visit there. Paul will be there while I work here in my h–” “Aemon! Lily!” His eyebrows crossed when he heard Frederick calling them outside while banging the door so hard. “What the hell?” he mumbled.“Sir?” His secretary called.“I’ll call you back,” he replied.“Aemon!” “Who’s that?” Lily asked as she woke up by Frederick’s loud knocking on their door. “Frederick,” he said before she quickly stood up to open the door before Frederick could even destroy it by himself.“Goodness, Ae–”“What?! Are you going to destroy this d*mn door?!” he exclaimed with annoya
Chapter 76"Her mother?" Eliza asked when Lily just left the table because of the sudden arrival of her mother. Lily never mentioned anything about her parents to her. Maybe because of the short days that they have spent together. If Lily stayed there for long, she would definitely have the chance to tell what she feels to her parents. "Long story," Leonora said. "She's not on good terms with her," Aemon said and sighed as he went back to his seat. Meanwhile, when Lily went to their living room, she found her mother standing on their huge picture frame. It was her wedding picture with Aemon. They both couldn't even smile at all. How could they? It was an arranged marriage that suddenly worked. She never thought that she would love him this much. "Lily!" she exclaimed and ran towards her. A tight hug is what she only does without any words. "Why are you here?" Lily asked. Her mother only looked at her emotionally before her fingers began to linger on her face. Those eyes watered wh
Chapter 77All the Cooper paid their respect for Lily's father. On that day, Lily set herself free from all the pain that she has been carrying. All the hatred and sorrows were finally out of her chest. It feels like she turned into a dove, free to fly without any burdens on its shoulders."I did it!" Leonora exclaimed when she finished cutting the vegetables they asked her to cut."Really? Let me ch—" Lily froze as the spoon fell from her grasps after seeing the vegetables that she cut by herself. Her eyes became tiny, has no words for Leonora. She was smiling from ear to ear, proud of what she thinks her accomplishment in cooking. Eliza was busy with the soup she was cooking. "May I see?" she asked and finally faced the two of them."Did you cu—" she stopped when she saw the poor vegetables that she cut. "Fvck," Lily cursed and took a heavy sigh."You're beautiful," Eliza commented and took a deep sigh. "Huh? Is this not right?" She asked and even checked her work. How can they n
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
