Chapter 41: Dark Confrontations

Lily heard voices downstairs, and she knew already that it was Christopher, even though she did not hear him drive in.His mansion was like an estate; so large that it was almost impossible to hear when anyone drives in.She had been contemplating going downstairs, but she changed her min. Something just felt awkward, and Lily began to smell trouble, but she could not tell what it was. It was just like when she was a little girl; she always knew when her parents were mad at her and intended to either scold or punish her when she had done things that she shouldn’t have done even without seeing them.Anyway, Lily did not have to worry for long, as Christopher barged into her room, almost pulling out the door in the process. Lily jumped in shock.“Ashley!” Christopher barked the same time that he barged into the room.For the very first time, Lily saw an enraged Christopher, and fear gripped her.

Chapter 42: The Plan

Lily woke up much later feeling light-headed. She didn’t understand what happened. The only thing Lily remembered is that when Christopher had scared the shit out of her, she had passed out.Then Lily heard some voices and when she turned, she saw Christopher and a strange man who seemed like a doctor talking.“What exactly happened to her?” Christopher was asking the doctor.“I have looked at her vital signs, but nothing seems to be wrong with her,” the doctor said. He sounded worried and somewhat confused.“Are you sure? I have never heard of someone passing out just like that,” Christopher said.“Beats me too, Mr. Bridger, trust me,” the doctor said.Lily bit her lower lip with her upper teeth; she was in a deep trouble. How would she explain passing out just because she and Christopher had an intense confrontation, because what if Ashley Grander was never known to pass out? Lily was greatly troubled. Christopher was already doubting her identity, and although he barely knew Ashley

Chapter 43: Followed

Thankfully, Lily was no longer grounded, so she could actually stop Rudney from destroying her life before he went ahead with his plan. It was even a good thing that she spoke with Joe the day she did otherwise, they would all be doomed.So Lily grabbed Ashley’s phone and sent a quick text to Rudney, saying “Meet me up at that spot where we usually go to clear our head in an hour time. Please, do not call me; just be there.” Lily knew that even without including her name, Rudney would know that she was the sender. They were so close that they both had a garden where they usually went to clear their head on their off-days. It was Lily who discovered the quiet garden at a time in her life where guilt, regret, and her past trauma were eating her up. The garden was usually quiet and deserted and it brought untold peace to Lily’s soul. So when she and Rudney became close and Lily discovered that he also had things he was dealing with, she decided to show him the garden.When they were bot

Chapter 44: A Nuisance

“Kidnapped by who, Lily?” Lily’s voice cut through Lily’s reverie and when Rudney noticed that Lily was staring at something intently behind him, he turned to also see what it was, but Rudney only saw nothing.“Lily?” Rudney called again, shaking Lily.Lily shook and looked at Rudney, snatching her gaze away from where she had seen the man standing a few seconds ago. Lily also saw the man swiftly disappear when Rudney turned to look, and shivers ran down Lily’s spine. She swallowed dreadfully.Don Grander sent his monster to follow her.What Lily still can’t fathom is how Don Grander knew that she was coming to this isolated garden to meet up with Rudney. Another thing that made Lily shiver in fear was the deadly and threatening look the man gave her; more like, “Say a single word and you are dead.”“Lily, what is wrong?” Rudney asked again, deeply worried.All of a sudden, Lily was too tongue-tied to say anything. Now, she just stared at Rudney like a freaking zombie. She had almost

Chapter 45: How Did They Know?

Lily thought that the man was going to strike her right after he made that statement, so she closed her eyes and waited for the worse to happen.When she waited for a few seconds and a punch did not land on her and she did not feel any sharp painful piercing on her skin, she opened her eyes.The man was still standing right in front of her. “Don Grander wants to have a word with you,” he said strictly.“But…I came with the driver assigned to me by Christopher,” Lily managed to say. She never even thought that she would ever have the courage to speak to him because of how dangerous and menacing his appearance was. “If I just come with you, Christopher is going to get a report that I delayed or never showed up, and he is going to suspect that something is…amiss,” Lily explained.It was the logical truth, but she hoped that the man would buy it.“Tell that to Don Grander,” the man said, unmoving.Lily’s shoulders sagged in defeat. Then the man gestured to the car parked by the side of th

Chapter 46: Dead And Gone

When Don Grander’s palm connected with Lily’s left cheek, she staggered backwards from the impact as her eyes saw stars. This was the first time that Lily was getting slapped in her entire existence.The fact that the slap came from an enraged strong man almost sent Lily to her grave. For a moment, Lily thought that she was going to die, or maybe if she had seen it coming, she would have either prevented it, or gotten herself ready for it, although Lily doubted that anyone could ever be ready enough for such violence. Lily held her left cheek and cried in pains.It was as though Don Grander had broken her cheek bone, because the pain that Lily was feeling was worse than she had ever felt.“I see that you have a lover somewhere,” Don Grander spoke.Lily could not respond, even though it came out more like a statement than a question, but she knew that she was meant to say something, but then again, Lily was nursing her face and pain, so much that she did not even think she would be a

Chapter 47: Married Now

Christopher had been in a meeting for hours now with his senior staff members who were associates in his company, including Aimee Landon. Christopher went to his office as soon as the meeting ended.He had an international business call to make.Even though Christopher Bridger had trusted senior staff members who were associates, he sometimes handled some of the work himself, and discreetly. Christopher had always known even before he took over the company that in business, no matter how trustworthy or loyal one’s associates were, you could never trust them completely, and you should never show them all the reigns of the company, because sometimes, they either got greedy, or your enemies could get to them.When Christopher’s father was alive and dealing with a strong enemy at that time, the enemy had kidnapped one of his most senior and trusted partners, asking for vital details about the company that would help him sabotage the company, but because the man had no idea about it, he ha

Chapter 48: A New Look On Her Face

Lily arrived in the house and went straight upstairs. She made certain that she bowed her head as she made her way into the house. She had no idea what she looked like, but her cheek bone still hurt like hell and her scalp was also hurting bad. On Lily’s way back, she had to touch her head to be sure that blood wasn’t coming out, or to be sure that that area of her hair that Don Grander had pulled hadn’t become bald.Lily got to her room and opened her door, but she was met with harsh resistance.“Who the heck locked up this room?” Lily asked angrily. She shook the doorknob again, willing the door to open, but to no avail.“Who shut this door?!” Lily asked, her voice hitting the roof.When she had left this house a couple of hours ago, she had left an open room, and she knew that Christopher had not been at home, so who had the guts to shut her bedroom door in her absence? Being here, Lily realized that it would be better to actually act like Ashley Grander, because the domestic work

Chapter 49: A Deal By The Door

"Shit! Shit! Shit!” Lily became frantic as she thought of what to do quick and fast.“He cannot see me like this,” Lily said to herself.“Ashley!” Christopher’s enraged voice reached Lily in the room again. This time around, the voice was closer, and for Lily to hear the pounding of his footsteps against the stairs, she knew that he was enraged, and that was when Lily remembered that she had actually stepped out with one of Christopher’s securities who she never came back with.In fact, after Don Grander was done hitting her, threatening her, and ensuring that she never did anything that would jeopardize their chances of getting what they wanted from Christopher, Lily had had to jump a bus to get back to the house. It wasn’t a big deal for her, because all her life, when she wasn’t walking, she was jumping buses. Anyway, Lily had ensured that she bowed her head low enough so that no one would recognize her, because that would be more dangerous. “What do I do now?” Lily asked hersel

Chapter 50: We Meet Again

After the agreement, Christopher grudgingly left.Lily knew that he was dying to have the discussion of her whereabouts that day, but he could not, because there was nothing he would have said that would have made Lily opened the door for him. Her face was still battered and swollen.Lily took the ice pack and placed it on her face. She sat on the bedroom couch and tried to close her eyes so that the ice pack would be able to work its magic, but then again, her head started banging. She could not tell if Don Grander had done any real damage to her head, especially internally, because she could not feel any blood, but the pain was so excruciating that it caused a dull headache at the center of Lily’s head. Lily used the intercom in the bedroom to ring Maggie.“Get me some painkillers for my banging head,” Lily said into the phone.In less than five minutes, Maggie arrived with some painkillers. Without turning to face her, Lily said, “Just drop it where you are and leave.”But Maggie h
