The two siblings paced to and fro in the waiting room. Their expression held nothing but anxiety as they prayed silently in their hearts for everything to go well.Lillian's mother wasn't excluded. She was called to the hospital immediately Bella and her brother, Don, suspected that Lillian was in labor. Luckily, Mrs. Blake was around the area at that time, so she followed them to the hospital.It had been over an hour since Lillian was taken into the delivery room, and there's been no news from the doctors in charge.This continued for a few minutes until they all sighted the doctor heading their way, and they rushed to him immediately.“Congratulations. She has given birth to a bouncing baby boy.” The doctor voiced out immediately with a light smile.Their once worried look brightened instantly with smiles lingering on their lips.Finally, Bella spoke out with so much enthusiasm, “Can we see them now?”“Of course, you can see them. Come with me.”They all followed the doctor to Lill
"Hello everyone, I'm home!" Lillian screamed happily and her parents came climbing down the staircase immediately."And my darling daughter is here." Mrs Helen said in a wide smile as she immediately embraced her daughter."I miss you so much mom." Lillian said embracing her tighter than before."Don't I also deserve a hug?" Mr Jeffrey who was standing behind them asked making Lillian and her mother chuckle. She left her mom and engulfed her dad in tight hug."I missed you my old man." She said in a wide smile and he chuckled. So, she still remembers that name.Don't be confused, Lillian and her dad had this beautiful father and daughter relationship and 'my old man' was the nickname she gave him when she was still staying with them. Mr Jeffrey didn't really expect her to call him that after so many years."And I missed you more my little princess." He replied and she released herself from the hug with a pout."I'm no longer little, I'm now a big lady." She said and twirled round ma
Lillian got up from her bed and stretched. She yawned and went into the restroom. She came out minutes later and saw her mother sitting on her bed."Good morning Mom.""Morning sweetheart. How was your night?" Her mom replied as she became aware of her daughter's presence."It was beautiful, thank you." "Has it been long you came?" Lillian said again."I just came in seconds before you came out." Her mom replied and she mouthed an 'oh'."Come and sit, I want us to talk." Her mom said again tapping on the bed beside her."About?" Lillian queried with a raised brow."Have a seat first." Her mom replied and Lillian did as she was told. "So, what is this about?" Lillian asked now staring directly at her mother and Mrs Helen took her hands into hers."Lillian......" She stressed out making Lillian more interested."You do know we all in the family loves you, right?" She said again and Lillian nodded slowly."And we would........." The door opened interrupting her. "Good morning Lady Hel
Lillian entered the room and landed straight on her bed, dumping her purse beside her. What was her father saying? What did he mean by she was getting married? And to a person she doesn't even know? What was happening?All these questions ran through Lillian's mind and she couldn't help to badly wish her dad was joking. The door opened again and her mom came in. She paused for a moment before finally going to join Lillian on the bed."Tell me everything dad said was a joke." Lillian said immediately with pleading eyes making Mrs Helen sigh."Please, just tell me he was joking,,,,,, that he was trying to pull my legs." Lillian pleaded further, now kneeling on the bed and holding her mom's hands."I wished but........" Her mom tried saying but stopped when she saw the tears gathered in her daughter's eyes."You're truly getting married." Mrs Helen finally said what broke Lillian's heart. Lillian immediately let go of her mom's hands and got down from the bed."Even you too?" Lillian ask
Fred knocked on the door and his mom's voice was heard,"Come in.""Good morning mom, Good morning dad." He greeted when he entered the room."I came back immediately I saw your call. Is there any problem?" He said again and his father who was sitting on the bed pointed to the couch. Fred did as he was told. Mr Jeffrey also stood up and went to sit opposite him."We informed her already.""About what?" Fred said confused. "Her marriage with Don.""What the heck?!" Fred uttered as he stood up immediately."Dad, what are you talking about?" He said again."She is getting married to Don and your mother and I have concluded on this decision but we just need you to help us talk to her. We tried talking to her but........ " Mr Jeffrey trailed off."We couldn't because now, she hates us more." Mrs Helen finished with glistening eyes. She was trying so hard not to cry.Fred couldn't believe his parents. How could they have done that to Lillian? And most especially with Don of all people. St
Lillian groaned as she sat up. She groaned again and rubbed her head. She looked around where she was and found herself on a bed. She looked around again and saw it was her room. She bowed her head as if trying to recall what happened but still rubbing her head slightly. Then she remembered. She was in Mark's living room trying to call her brother but then someone covered her nose with a handkerchief and she lost consciousness.But how did she get back to her room? Needing an answer to this question, she managed to stand up from the bed and tried opening the door but it was locked.Huh? She tried again but it was still locked. What was happening? First, an anonymous brought her back here without her consent and now, the door of her room was locked. "Hello?" "Mom? Dad? Anyone there!" She said forcefully turning the knob of the door, that was when it dawned on her that she's been held hostage in her own room."Someone get me out of here!!" She yelled again hitting the door continu
Lillian walked slowly to where her father sat at the bar as she bowed her head. She was still thinking if this was the right thing for her to do. She just never wanted this but then, her mother?"Do you need anything?" Mr Jeffrey asked turning slightly to her after he noticed her presence. She took in a sharp breath and swallowed hard."When is the wedding taking place?" She asked back almost inaudibly as she gulped down again."Huh?" Mr Jeffrey said pretending not to know what she meant. Lillian closed her eyes and swallowed hard again then she opened her eyes as she folded her hands tight by her side."Is the wedding still taking place tomorrow?" She asked again, trying not to have a reconsideration."Yes." Mr Jeffrey replied in a nod as he adjusted on his seat that he could stare directly into her face."Alright." She said simply.
Lillian stared at herself with the wedding gown in the mirror as she sighed. She had asked all the makeup artist and maid to leave her alone while she ponder in her own thoughts. She just couldn't believe she would one-day wear a wedding gown with sadness in her heart. All her life, she had always dreamt of wearing this wedding gown with a big smile on her face, her mother beside her and the right man who would love and cherish her. But now, it seems all that was getting shattered.She bowed her head and wiped the tears that had gathered in her eyes and were trying to fall. She tried not to ruin her makeup, at least even if she didn't want this, her mother wanted this and she needed to fulfil a promise.Someone knocked on the door, interrupting her thoughts."Who's there?" She asked glancing at the door through the mirror."It's one of the maids ma'am and I'm here to inform you have a male visitor." The maid said and her mind drifted to Mark. She hasn't heard from him ever since sh
