“If you had actually intended to die, you should’ve done that,” Lucas spat as he walked into the hospital room alongside Henry and Sebastian.“Can you just leave? The sound of your froggy voice makes my head pound,” I nagged, glaring at the three of them. Hours after losing consciousness, I finally opened my eyes to find myself in a hospital room for the second time in a year. I would prefer to be in my house right now than stay here and inhale the smell of antiseptic and antibiotics.“We just got here,” Henry complained. “You can’t tell us to just leave like we don’t matter,”“I thought they said you were shot,”“I was shot at but I’ve got superpowers; the type that makes you dodge the bullet,”“What are you? Five?” I asked angrily. “Are you sure the bullet didn’t hit him in the head? He’s acting like he’s insane right now,” I asked the others.“I’m totally fine, I promise,” Henry argued.“How are you feeling?” Sebastian asked.“Terrible,” I groaned. I covered my eyes with an arm as

The past two days we’ve spent at the Millers' mansion have been splendid and full of laughter. Arianna and Derek kept at their cat fight every hour. Mr. Miller had resumed back to work and he took a trip out of town. Mrs. Miller was at home with us every single hour and promised to take me shopping when I fully recovered. If only she knew what Derek and I had been up to every minute, she wouldn’t contemplate my recovery. Derek’s youngest brother, the medical doctor, came home once in a while but never stayed for too long. It appeared his relationship with Derek was getting better. Derek talks to his brother without a frown these days. Still, nobody was talking about Caster. I placed the book I was reading down and stretched a little before sitting back down. I’ve been reading for hours without an interruption because everyone was busy with one or two things. Derek had a meeting at one of his clubs, so he had to go out early this morning. I picked up my phone and switched it back on.

LILY’S POV The whole two hours that I spent inside the room alone were excruciating. I was in pain but I just couldn’t pinpoint where or how. I guess I was hurt by the situation but not by anyone. It was like I wanted to be mad, to be angry at something but there was no justifiable reason for anger. I want to yell and scream and cry but at the same time, I kept on asking myself why I would do that.Derek didn’t date this girl after he got to know me, whatever happened between them happened before we knew each other. He didn’t know she was pregnant and I don’t think she told him about it either, he didn’t even know he had a son until she showed up at the doorstep to break the unbelievable news to everyone. When I heard those words, my world became silent, I didn’t even know what to say or what to do. Was I supposed to even feel hurt or feel anything at all? Was I supposed to act as if this was normal and not say anything? In one sentence, I’ve never been so sad and confused at the sam

Derek's POV The following week, I decided to go on a vacation with Lily. We both needed the break, away from the insanity and recent events. It was much needed. "Thank you for lending us your private jet, Mr. Miller," Lily was on the phone with my parents right before we took off and she had been giggling while talking to my mom and Arianna before they gave the phone to my dad. "It's my birthright, baby. Stop thanking him for doing the right thing," I replied, into the phone, making sure my dad could hear me. "I don't know how you cope with that bastard, Lily but thank you for not divorcing him yet even though I'll still appreciate it if you do," "News flash, dad, she's stuck with me. You should be the one who should be very careful because Mom can divorce you at any time," "She never will. I'm the sweetest husband and I always have nice things to say unlike someone else," I was about to give him a response when I received a call from Henry. "I'll talk to you later, Dad," I st

DEREK’S POV The meeting with my business partner didn’t take more than an hour. We only discussed the need for a mobile app for the business and even though I disagreed at first, he managed to persuade me. We agreed on carrying out enough research about it before going into it. The meeting ended and I went my way.When I got back to the hotel room, Lily was nowhere to be seen. I decided to look around and see if I could find her.I didn’t want to panic because I actually want to trust her enough to know that she didn’t wander off like a child, she had always acted mature and responsible and even if she deiced to be immature and irresponsible this time, it's allowed.As I walked towards the poolside, I saw just a few people and I nodded, realizing it would be easier to look for her. I saw two guys talking to some ladies sitting on a swing and I smirked, before looking elsewhere to search for Shortcake. Just as I was about to turn and look elsewhere, my eyes caught a movement from tho
