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 78"Clean everything," Frederick commanded their men before he went in the car to drive Eliza who was shot in the hospital. Her arms were bleeding so much. Lily couldn't do anything but to cover it with her hands that are now filled with her blood rolling in her hands."Come on, Frederick!" Leonora said in a hurry because Eliza was already pale because of the too much blood that she was losing."B*llsh*t, I'm shaking!" He cursed out loud before he drove so fast that he could already make it fly. "Am I dying?" Eliza asked and chuckled. "Of course not!" Lily exclaimed. She was only being silent to prevent making her feel nervous even more. "Not yet? My arms fvcking hurts, I can feel the pain to my bones!" She exclaimed as her face crumpled with the pain she couldn't bear anymore."I know it feels like hell, but you won't die with that." Lily said, cooling her down."What are you, huh?! Why did you guys kill those men?! I saw the three of you holding guns!" She yelled to the th
