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
Chapter 79All the Coopers were not at ease. Each of them is being hunted by distress from the problem that they could not end yet. Aemon was only standing on the balcony while staring at the sky. The darkness is now invading the entire sky. "What are you thinking?" Lily asked when she found her husband on the balcony. She can see how much he was spending his spare time thinking. They were confronted by their enemy earlier and that really slammed them all. His audacity to come in their own place and threaten Aemon. "A lot," he replied and forced a small smile."Are you still thinking of what happened earlier?" Lily asked. She knows that it's bothering him so much. "This is a war, Lily. I'm thinking of everything. That man killed my parents and he was trying to kill me since before…until now, he doesn't want to stop." He explained and chuckled. Aemon wants revenge. But how can he do that if he knows that Lily and their baby can be put at risk?"I understand," Lily said. "I don't kno
Chapter 80Lily was devastated. She couldn't process everything that was happening. She feels naive from all these sh*ts. Her child is not born yet but it seems like the world doesn't want it to exist. "These were taken when we came to the doctor for Lily's checkup," Leonora said while scrolling on her iPad. The whole world now knows that she is carrying the child of a Mafia boss, or maybe the entire world of Mafia. Lily was shattered by all the thoughts in her head. She doesn't want this world anymore for her child. The baby is not yet born and yet its life is in peril already. How much more when she gives birth? "I'm sure it's that fvcking man who leaked everything," Frederick said with anger dwelling in his eyes. "Aemon, this is not good. All those d*mn evils will probably make their own moves to kill Lily and the baby." Paul discussed in distress. "We're not safe here," Leonora uttered. This is killing them so much. They couldn't even sleep at peace."Are you okay?" Aemon ask
Chapter 81 "You know what, I think we should go down there." Eliza suggested and stood up from laying in the bed. Lily sighed before she also pulled herself up from the bed. "Yeah, I should apologize to Aemon." She uttered with a weak smile. "Let's go," Eliza held her hand before they both went downstairs to finally face them."Do you think he's ma—""AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" "Calm down, Aemon!" Paul shouted. Aemon was shouting with anger while throwing all the glass furniture in the living area. "Aemon!" She yelled and quickly ran to him. They have no idea about what is happening. Aemon looks miserable, a total disaster while crying all the pain with anger. "Raf, pull yourself!" Paul exclaimed while trying to stop Aemon. "Aemon, stop it! What's happening?!" Lily asked with so much confusion."Raf!" Lily called and even shaked his hands. But he was just looking nowhere without even blinking. The tears were rolling down on his face with his blank expression. And there was Aemon, her husb
Chapter 82"You didn't eat," Lily said when she came into their room and Aemon didn't even touch the food she served him. It's been two days since their grandmother died. The funeral was at Aemon's house. There are tons of people who keep coming by to sympathize with her death. But then, the entire Coopers were damaged. Their enemy really smashed them with this huge move. "Aemon, pull yourself." Lily said softly and held his hands. All their eyes were swollen. They couldn't eat properly, especially Aemon. He has been like this, looking at the ceiling while crying with his blank face. "We have to be strong," Lily added. The pain is adding even more everytime she sees Aemon like this. "I just need some time," he uttered and smiled the smallest. "I understand, but please eat." Lily said worriedly. She sighed before he left him with a new food. To be honest, that move of their enemy wounded them deeply. They were not on themselves and Lily was only pulling herself up for all of them.
