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
"Shhhh, it's alright. You would be fine." Bella cooed, rubbing Lillian's hair and at the same time trying to calm her down. They remained like that for minutes before Bella finally released her from the hug."Have you eaten?" She asked with her tone sounding worried."Yeah." Lillian muttered in a small nod.She was no longer crying heavily like before, all thanks to Bella.Bella eye searched for any injury on her body, she let out a long sigh of frustration after seeing a few on her knee."He did this to you, right?" She asked fixing her gaze on the area of the injury. She exhaled sharply when she didn't reply."Honestly, I'm sorry about all these and I will do my very best to make all these pass." Bella said staring at her in pity."As long as you don't know anything about how he got shot." She quickly added and Lillian nodded quietly."Now, wipe your tears." She said again and brought out an handkerchief. She tried to help her wipe off the traces of tears on her face but Lillian w
A lady walked secretly into the maid's quarters. She made sure to confirm she wasn't being followed before closing the door behind her quietly.She was a maid who worked in the mansion.She brought out her phone and shakily dialed on the number. The call rang to the end without anyone answering it. She tried it the second time and this time, the call was answered."What the heck is your problem! Why are you disturbing my peace for goodness sake!" The receiver said sounding pissed from the other side."I'm sorry ma'am but there's a problem." The maid said lowly."What is it? I hope it isn't about what we talked about the last time." The receiver said with the voice harsher than before."It's about it, ma'am." The maid breathed out glancing behind her just to make sure she was safe."What is it all about then?" "She has been released from cell. " The maid announced and the lady at the other side gasped in shock."How the hell did you let that happen!" She yelled."It wasn't my fault, m
Don stood in front of the mirror as he did the last button on his shirt. He put on his jacket and used his cologne.He fixed the wristwatch on his wrist and wore his boot before he finally left the room.Rex and Draco, who were already waiting for him followed behind immediately. They made their way down the stairs and entered the living room. Don halted his footsteps pretty damn quick when he saw Lillian already in the living room waiting for him.She stood up when she felt his presence behind her and turned around to him. She was wearing a turkey velvet red belted gown and golden heels with a golden clutch to match. His eyes scrutinized her carefully and it made her so uncomfortable. She coughed lightly as he finally got out of his reverie. She heaved a sigh when he walked past her without saying a wordShe followed him and they all got into the car after the guards opened the door for the both of them. She faced the window all through, staring at the outside on their way. She w
