"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
The car drove into the compound and parked, then the occupants alighted from it, with Don alighting first.Lillian also alighted with smiles all over her and one could easily detect she was happy. Don went straight inside while the guards walked to the back of the house. Lillian stood rooted to the ground as she stared at his retreating figure in smiles. Who knew he could be that kind to treat her out for dinner?"Hey!" Bella said from behind startling her. She turned to her immediately as she heaved a sigh of relief."Why are you still standing here smiling all by yourself?" Bella asked in a mischievous smile."Nothing, I was just about to go inside when you startled me." Lillian replied immediately, standing upright."What?? I was just about to head inside." She said again hoping to ease Bella's curiosity but with the looks she got from her, she was sure she wasn't satisfied yet."Okay then let's go inside." Bella stated as she grabbed her wrist and they both headed inside to Lill
Don opened his eyes gently as he protected it against the sun. He sat up, checking for Eva beside him on the bed but she was no where to be found. He breathed out softly as he turned to the other side and see a neatly folded paper under the nightstand on the cabinet. He took it out, unfolding it as he read it.He sighed again as he squeezed it, tossing it aside. He dropped his legs to the cold floor, just then the door opened and Rex came in."Good morning boss." He greeted in a bow but Don didn't reply.He stood up, walking towards his dressing table, he paused when his eyes met with some papers on the table. He took it up as he opened it, studying them quietly.Rex glanced at him and said, "We found those with the real culprit behind your attack and.......""Who is responsible?" Don cuts in coldly as he stared at the papers in his hand with a deep frown."A maid." Rex replied fixing his gaze to the floor."Where is she now?" Don asked flinging the papers back to the table in annoya
The maid rolled the box to the booth of the car as she stuck it there, closing it back. She bowed and walked past Don who was stepping out of the house and towards the car.Lillian also came out of the house, walking hurriedly after him . He paused in his steps and turned to her. He etched his eyebrows in confusion when he saw her all dressed up with a box and her purse hung improperly on her shoulder which was due to how hastily she walked."Thank goodness you stopped walking." She breathed out as she stood in front of him."Why did you try to ignore me even after knowing I was after you?" She asked lifting her gaze to him."What are you doing?" He said in a scoff staring intently at her with a slight frown."I heard you were going on a trip and I decided to tag along." She replied simply, not minding his deep gaze on her. "I want to drop my luggage in the booth, so please excuse me." She said again as she strolled past him to the booth. "I just asked what you're doing." Don said
Lillian watched from the window as the plane landed gracefully on the ground. She unbuckled her seat belt, stylishly waiting for Don to leave the plane first and he did as she followed behind him.Well, the plane was a private one which actually belonged to Don making them the only passengers in it.The air hostess brought out their luggage, taking it to one of the cars that was already waiting for them."Go with that car." Don stated simply, heading towards the other car with Draco while Rex stayed behind. Lillian stood rooted to the ground as she etched her eyebrows at him in confusion."Does he really have to prove that he is a jerk?" Lillian muttered glaring at the car that he had just gone with."Couldn't we have just gone with the same car like the other days?" She muttered again, still glaring at the route the car had taken."Can we go now, ma'am?" Rex asked carefully enough not to sound rude.Lillian turned to him in a soft sigh as she began to stare around."Rex?" She called
Don opened his eyes slowly, squinting it back almost immediately. The rays of sunlight shone brightly into the room.He protected his eyes with his left hand as he turned to see who opened it. He scoffed after seeing a smiling Lillian by the window."Oops, sorry for waking you up." She said a bit scared at his facial expression."I was just trying to have a nicer view of the outside, I....." She tried explaining but was cut short."Just quit talking." He groaned out as he sat up."What are you doing here? I thought you slept in the living room." He said again, glaring harshly at her like she had committed a grieve crime."Like I told you earlier, I just wanted to have a view of the outside." She replied, forming a thin line on her lips out of nervousness. He scoffed out again and took his gaze away from her.He stood up groaning slightly as he headed towards the wardrobe. Lillian's gaze followed him simultaneously biting softly on her lower lip.He searched fruitlessly for something t
