"Move the gear selector into its first gear." Bella ordered and Lillian did as instructed."Now, start driving with your foot still fully on the clutch pedal." Bella instructed again and she obeyed. She drove the car a little and stopped out of nervousness."You can do it, Lillian. Just do it again." Bella encouraged and she drove it again before stopping."Now, move it a little longer." Bella said and Lillian looked at her with anxiousness. Bella gave her a reassuring smile as she gave her a go ahead nod. She drove it from where they were to the gate which was a few meters away before she stopped the car.m again."You're doing it girl, few more times and you're good to go." Bella said loudly in smiles and Lillian giggled.Rex came out of the house and walked towards them in the car."Your brother wants to see you right now." He said in a slight bow and the ladies turned their attention to him."Okay." Bella replied in a little nod."Ummm Lillian, let's take a break here. We would co
"Lillian, this is Drake, the one who saved your life." Bella introduced pointing at Drake who just stood at the balcony with them while they sat down. "Really?" Lillian's face lit up and she dropped her glass cup of juice on the small table. "Yeah." Bella replied in a nod. "Hi Drake! I heard what you did for me and I'm so grateful to you." Lillian stated as she demonstrated her hands. "It was nothing, after all it's my duty." Drake replied with a slight bow. "It actually meant something to me." Lillian said in a smile ignoring the last part of his statement even though she wanted to ask about it. "Alright. Now you know him, I would also love to tell you that he would be your new coach for the driving lessons." Bella said to Lillian who was now staring at her and Lillian turned back to Drake. "Is he?" She asked to be sure. "Yeah. Trust me, he is very good at these things, and he would continue from where I stopped." Bella explained sipping her juice. "Okay." Lillian replied in
"Repeat the same thing." Drake ordered and Lillian did as instructed. She moved the gear to its first gear and drove the car backwards making a U- turn before she finally stopped the engine."Yay!" Lillian screamed happily throwing her hands in the air and Drake covered his two ears with his hands."I finally know how to drive!" She screamed again as she happily hugged Drake."Oops sorry." She said again withdrawing almost immediately."It's alright." He said in a small smile."So, where should we go from here?""We'll go back to the mansion." Drake shrugged."Alright, I will drive us back." Lillian said in a smile and ignited the engine. Though, the drive back home was just five minutes which was not that far, she was still smiling like she achieved something great of which it was to her.She horned and the gate opened. She drove in and parked just few meters away from the entrance of the house."That's all for today, we'll continue tomorrow." Drake said in a small smile."Okay." Lil
TWO WEEKS LATER*"How many years does it take you to inspect those things Bella?" Don said glancing at the phone placed at the phone stand as he successfully made a U- turn."Years? I've just spent weeks here and it isn't up to a month yet." Bella defended from the other side of the phone."So, you plan to stay for a month?" Don asked in a scoff."I didn't say that." Bella sang out and he scoffed again."When are you coming back?" He asked as he glanced at the phone."And don't you dare hang up." Don said again trying to avoid what happened the last time he called her and Bella's laughter was heard from the other side."I don't know but, I'll see what I can do about that." She replied and Don scoffed."You don't plan to come back anytime soon, do you?" He said glaring at the phone like it was Bella."Maybe, ain't sure yet." Bella replied."You're just so unpredictable." Don said now focusing back on the road."Thank God you know that." Bella sang out again and Don scoffed."Will you j
Lillian took slow strides as she walked towards Don's room. She paused in her steps when she was almost at the door, contemplating if it was alright to go and check up on him at the moment. She didn't know if the doctor was done with him yet but there was only one way to find out. She sighed as she resumed her steps againShe had gone with them in taking him to his room earlier and stayed with him but when the doctor arrived, he asked all of them out, even when she insisted on staying back as his wife. She decided to go back to her room while waiting patiently to hear reports but then it's been twenty minutes and she hasn't heard any yet.She got to where the guards were standing at the entrance and took in a deep breath."Please, can I see him now?" She asked staring from one of them to the other.The guards looked at each other then back at her. "Wait here." Rex said and went into the room. He came out shortly and gave way for her to pass. She went in and met the doctor already pa
Don's face expressed shock but it was only for a split of second. What she said was kind of true, he needed to eat, so he could take his drugs and get out of this bed. He badly wanted to find out who did this to him and he just couldn't wait to lay his hands on whoever it was. He sighed and managed to put his legs down from the bed."You shouldn't stress yourself, I'll put the....." Lillian tried to say but he stopped her by raising his free hand up."Don't bother." He cut in as he finally put his legs down, and Lillian helped to properly place the table in front of him.She uncovered the meal and he started eating while she stared at him."Will you continue to stare at me that way or go back to your room?" He said noticing her stares but didn't look at her."I would stay here as per what the doctor said." She replied in a slight nod and he scoffed but didn't say a word."You know, you look more handsome when you take that cold look off your face." Lillian said again after a while an
Lillian hugged her pillow tight to her chest as she thought of all that happened recently. She just couldn't understand who had wanted to kill him. Who did he offend that wanted to end his life? And to even think he didn't do anything about it? Or was he?What if the doctor hadn't arrived earlier, what would have then happened?She took in a sharp breath, throwing the pillow aside."If he isn't going to call the cops, then I'll have to help him do it." She muttered to herself clicking her tongue as she picked up her phone."But come to think of it, I don't have any cop's number." She said as she clicked her tongue again."I'll call Fred, he might have one." She said again dialling her brother's number.He picked up at the second ring."Hey, little sis." He said."Where the heck are you? it's so noisy over there." She said in a little scoff."I'm sorry, I'll step out in a sec." Fred said. There was silence for some seconds before he spoke up again."I'm out now, so what's up?" He said
"I hope you know this would be your last visit here." Don stated as he glanced at the doctor."Yeah. You're fine now, so there'll be no need to come here again." The doctor said in a light smile."Please, where is your wife, Mrs Dean? I haven't seen her around since I came here." The doctor said again, this time with a nervous smile. He has been the Dean's doctor for years and Don's associate but he still wasn't free around him yet."You're here as a doctor and not as her welfare guardian, so focus on your job." Don replied with a hostile glare. "I'm,, I'm sorry. Please, pardon me." The doctor apologized Immediately in a stutter. He has always avoided anything that would get him pissed off."Are you done?" Don asked grumpily. He was already getting impatient with the doctor's unending checkup."I'm almost........." Someone barged in with force. They both turned to see who and they saw an angry Bella. "Leave us alone, doctor." She said staring daggers at her brother. The doctor lef
