Chapter 49"Don't leave yet," Aemon's secretary stopped as soon as Lily made her to. All their eyes were drawn at her, confused about what was happening. "What's the matter?" Frederick asked Lily as he went near her after seeing the scene that was happening. "Lily, what's happening?" Aemon asked and now looked at his secretary who was still not facing them. They were all waiting for her to face them. Slowly, she pulled herself to finally face Lily Cooper. Her eyes were sharp and blank like a piece of blank paper. It was true, those lovely eyes of hers can also give goosebumps. Those were unreadable. She couldn't figure out what was running through her mind. "Hello, Mrs. Cooper…it's been a while," she greeted and gave her a wide soft smile. Lily focused and remained her eyes from her. She knew at that moment that it was exactly the voice of that woman on the phone. But then, Lily stayed on act. She kept her head up as she began to walk towards her, wearing a tender—but deceiving smi
Chapter 50"You have beautiful and healthy hair, Lily." Her mother uttered while combing her hair gently. They were both in front of the mirror and Lily was watching the huge smile on her mother's face. That smile was her favorite smile among all the smiles in the world. It always shines and it calms her in many aspects. Everytime she looks at her, she sees a million reasons why her father is so in love with her. She's like a gem that everyone wants to have and steal from his father. "It's because you always take care of it," the young Lily said with a sweet smile. "I will always take care of you, Lily." She answered, filled with love. "I have a question, Mom." The young Lily said. Her eyes were filled with curiosity, exploring everything in this world. "Go on, feel free to ask." Her mother said and continued combing her red hair. "Do you love Dad?" she asked. It was all of a sudden that her mother froze temporarily with that question. Lily was young at the moment, and she wasn't
Chapter 51"I found this in your Mom's house," Lily's Uncle said. "Sir Frederick," his two men arrived and intervened from the evidence that her Uncle brought them. "What is it?" he asked immediately. "She's the traitor," they confirmed before giving the envelope in their hands to Frederick. Lily quickly went at him as he remembered that he made them follow her and investigate her. "Wait, what's happening here?" Aemon asked with confusion. "Frederick investigated your secretary," Paul uttered beside him. There are pictures inside the brown envelope. It was his secretary, going to an abandoned place and wearing different clothes. Those pictures don't look like her. She looks wealthy and different from what they have seen of her. "I was right," Lily commented. "I told you that it was her voice, Aemon…I almost got her!" She exclaimed furiously. That woman was already in her hands. She was near to kill her only if Aemon didn't meddle up. "Call Leonora," Frederick said to Rafael.
Chapter 52"Go shoot me and I will kill your mother…try me, Lily." The secretary said with her sharp eyes at Lily. Their guns remained pointing at them. Lily was holding it tight in her grip, wanting to kill the two of them right now. There are guns pointing at them with the laser pointing on their chests. "You'll be dead if you shoot us," Dash said pertaining to the laser on their chests. But then, the two of them didn't even move. They didn't even blink, not even once as if they do not care about death at all. What only stop them is Lily's mother that was in their hands. "You can never threat us," Leonora said firmly. As soon as she finished her words, the two men behind them fell on the floor and their blood began to spread around with all the shots they have received. "Just on time," Lily's Uncle said as his men attacked from the back. Lily and Leonora took that chance to help them attack and clear the area. "Shoot, Lily!" The secretary said as she pointed the gun again to her

Chapter 54The wind was blowing softly while the rain was pouring. It was only 8 am in the morning and the weather was already bad. The sky was dark unlike the usual morning. "Really?" Lily asked unbelievably because of the weather. Her plan to swim today was ruined because of the rain that is pouring. All the people who were out were running. Some of them were using umbrellas to avoid being soaked by the rain. "Goodness, how can I surf with this weather?" the lady said as she closed her umbrella and went beside her. She was in the restaurant where they first ate before when she was here with the Coopers. Lily simply stares at the woman with brown curly hair. She was taller than her and she had brighter skin than her. Her eyes were brown just like her hair. The lady was only wearing her rash guard and a black short. She was beautiful, Lily complimented in her mind."Are you a tourist?" the lady asked and approached her. "Not really. I'm planning to stay here for long," she said an
Chapter 55"Lily?" Ron called while he was knocking on her door. A few seconds later, the door opened and Lily greeted her with a sweet smile on her lips. "Good morning," she greeted before she immediately went out to lock her door. "By the way, I don't have any materials for painting. What should I do? Can I buy some materials?" Lily asked with worries. Ron only chuckled at her expression. She was indeed nervous and pressured and that looks cute for him. "Lily, calm down. We have everything a painter will need. You don't have to buy anything, I can give all the materials to you." He uttered and calmed her down. Lily nodded with tense before she took a deep breath. "I'm sorry. It's been a long time since I last painted," she mentioned before a bitter smile goes around her lips. "What happened?" he asked as he glanced at her. It was a moment of silence when Lily did not answer it immediately. She was silent for a moment with the smallest smile on her lips. "My father was always my
Chapter 56"Book me a flight to the Philippines. I'm going back to Boracay," Aemon quickly said as soon as his men delivered him some good news. He even turned off his computer that fast. "No, Aemon." Leonora said and blocked him in front of his table. He stopped and eyed him with his eyebrows crossed. "I don't think it's a good idea," Paul commented as he sighed. He stood beside Leonora and glanced at Aemon with his hands buried in his pockets. Aemon was only looking at the both of them with confusion. He was waiting for so long to find her, and now that she is found, it's time for him to follow her there and get her back to his life. "I don't understand. Do you know how I am trying to cope up in this hellish life without Lily, huh?" he said unbelievably as he chuckled with a glimpse of bitterness. "All I want is to see her. I miss her touch, her smell, her voice, her laugh—I miss everything about her that it feels like I'm losing my fvcking mind!" He turned his back after his lon
