Demian did not worry that much because he knew that getting everything fixed would not be a problem for him, but Lily was stressed, and so he was still troubled.He knew that she was and has always been so sensitive about the little things in life, but he wanted her to relax, and that was the only thing you could say to her if she would do as she says."But, babe, what are we going to do? As much as I want to be reasonable and stay positive to support you, I can't help but freak out thinking about everything, and you know that going to make dinner is not my cup of tea, right?"Lily looked at Demian with a pained expression. She wanted everything to just be fine to the extent that at times she wished she didn't have the old woman and Cole as her family or that they were just dead and gone a long time ago.But still, they were and would always be her family. She needed her life with her family; it was something she did not want to go without knowing how it felt to be separated from Jumi

"Okay, would you love to have dinner with me later tonight?"Looking at Lily, Damian asked as she was about to go away and go back to the dining table where her grandmother and Cole were seated.It has been a long time since he spent time with her, so he bent his neck to the side as she waited for her answer."You mean you want to have dinner with me? like I shouldn't eat right now?"She pouted her lips because she knew that that was one of the silliest questions one could ever ask.Demian giggled looking at her cute face; he just wanted to go right ahead and kiss her, but it was not in his power to have a public display of love.The old woman would immediately throw him out of the house if she saw them, so he had to be conscious of himself to not make any mistakes; just one mistake might prove abortive for him, so he had to keep his emotions in check."I don't really know what you want me to say right now, but I think I am going to say yes."Shyly saying those words, she smiled and r

Lily woke up the next morning, remembering that today was going to be the biggest test of her life, which made her extremely agitated. "Lily, put yourself together. You can do this." Lily whispered to herself and stood up from the bed. She was wearing a nightgown, and her hair is a bit messy. She looked at Damien, who was still asleep. "He's so peaceful." Lily smiled; seeing him made her more confident. "You can do this," she said with much resilience in her voice. She repeated those words until she freshened up and changed into her working clothes. By that time, Damien was already awake. "Good morning," Lily said. "Morning," Damien replied, and he tilted his neck from side to side. He looked at the clock and gasped. "It's so late; why didn't you wake me up?" Damien scolded.He needs to do the chores in the house; he can't allow the old lady to wake up before him and find the house unkempt; that would be terrible. "It's just seven, honey; you need to get some rest; don't let g

Grandma and Cole couldn't believe their ears, Cole had the urge to faint, it's too unreal, how he could have been insulted, humiliated or to be better said treated as good as trash and his younger sister gets the contract, he suddenly felt ashamed. "I don't believe you" the old lady said, she couldn't just trust her granddaughter's words, she believed it to be a lie. "Grandma, why would I lie?" Lily asked with a smile on her face, she walked away from the door to the old lady's table. "I got the contract, this is a thing of joy, we should be happy" Lily said smiling at them especially at Cole. He expected her to fail woefully just like he did but she's happy that his expectations were cut short. "I'm calling the mayor's office, I don't believe any word you are saying '' the old lady said stubbornly and frowned her lips. Cole took her phone and dialled the mayor's office in desperation, the call was answered and he handed it to the old lady. Lily, smiling staring at them, Grandm

"You are right, it's really beautiful, grandma has good taste, in fact she never wears anything outdated, so I think our assumption might be correct" Lily uttered, trailing her fingers on the necklace, even though it was a turtleneck gown the necklace perfectly matched the dress. Lily smiled at her reflection in the mirror, she faced up. "Kiss me" Lily muttered. "Don't be naughty, I will smear your lipstick" Damien chuckled. "Just a little" Lily mumbled and pouted her lips for a kiss. Damien kissed her a bit with his lips pouted as well. The door suddenly flung open and the old woman walked in.. "Grandma!" Lily snapped and stood up. Damien stepped aside when he saw her. "That was rude grandma" Lily couldn't help but reprimand her grandmother for her impolite interruption. "Why is it taking you forever to get ready?Do you have plans to embarrass me?" the old woman yelled. "No, but you shouldn't have barged in like that, you talk about manners and low class people but your at
