“I’m not doing that, Lily. Not ever,” Laurel rejected outrightly, even if she wasn’t dating Tony presently, there was a high possibility that she still wouldn’t do it. It was so surprising that her own best friend was trying to use her to get back into a relationship with a man that dumped her; what the heck had come over Lilian, Laurel thought. “I do not understand why you’re fussing about this, you’re not doing it for yourself, do it for me, Laurel. You’ve got nothing to lose, it’s a fake marriage for God’s sake!” “I’ve my dignity, Lilian. I won’t rub myself on the ground just to get you back on track with a man that doesn’t even love you. What’s wrong with you, Lily? What has money done to you?” Laurel was amazed at her friend. Lilian was doing the most and if left alone, she could do something horrible just to get back with Adonis. “Are you saying you won’t help me, Laurel?” Lilian asked, looking into Laurel’s eyes. Her only chance was beginning to slip off her hands. “Not t

Rose Mack was one of Lilian’s friends in college, although they weren’t that close. Laurel also knew her. Rose was the kind of girl that loved being around boys, it was rumoured in college at one point that everybody in class had slept with Rose. Just like everybody would have predicted, Rose didn’t get anything off her education; she was now a bartender in one of those old bars in the middle of the city. However, Lilian knew she wasn’t just a bartender. “What’s the deal, Lily? By the way, it’s been so long, I was shocked when I saw your call,” Rose had a quick tongue, and it always seemed she was speaking too fast. “I wasn’t sure you’d come, this was a surprise,” Lilian confessed, someone she hadn’t spoken to for a very long time and all she did was put a call through to her and she was sitting inside her car an hour later. “You mentioned that it’d involve a whole lot of money, that’s what brought me here, Lily, nothing else.” Rose giggled, she was outspoken and didn’t really car

Laurel was more confused than any other person who stood glued to the ground looking at Tony and Adonis as they walked over to the entrance of the burial site. Tony didn’t tell her Adonis would be attending, he didn't even need to tell her for her to be aware that Adonis wouldn’t attend, but they unexpectedly came in the same car. It was as if they had nothing against each other. Sir Winconstin just had a big smile on his face, seeing both of his sons walking up to him and it seemed they had gotten along quite well. Riley wasn’t too surprised, because she knew there was an explanation to what just happened. Adonis wouldn’t get along with a man who was in competition with him. The only person who wasn’t surprised at all, was Mr. Walker, although he had no idea that Adonis was going to visit Tony this morning; however, he was the one who provided Tony’s address on Adonis’s request, which explains why they came in together. The only shock he had was the fact that Adonis agreed to come.

Katerina was sitting on a chair backing Lilian, so fortunately, Lilian couldn’t see her reaction to that question. She was knitting baby clothes to pass time just like her own mother used too. She’d actually said she was going to visit Tony, but the reason she wanted to visit Tony had already been accomplished, unknown to Lilian that she already secretly visited him. “I will, when the child is born. I want him to know whether it’s a boy or a girl.” Katerina was wise enough to quickly think of a response and it was really a good one. “Really, I thought you were joking! Does he really deserve to know all of this? I’m still thinking it’s not a good idea. I don’t really have the time for court issues right now.” Lilian voiced her concerns, she knew what Tony was capable of, he could drag this. “You’re overreacting, Lily. How’d you expect a poor man to afford a lawyer, besides you’re the woman; you’ve higher chances of winning custody of the child, especially when they see that the fat

“Just the person I was waiting for,” Rose murmured to herself as she grabbed her cell phone and answered the call. “Hey hi, how’s it going, have you met him yet?” Lilian’s voice sounded low, but it didn’t really occur to Rose who was so much distracted by the cash in front of her. “I’m counting the bonus he just gave me a few minutes ago, why the hell didn’t you tell me it was Winconstin son?” Rose placed the phone on speaker while she continued counting the money. It wasn’t as if she wanted to confirm if it was complete, she just felt like counting it. “I didn’t think it was necessary. He already gave you money?” Lilian sounded surprised from the other end. “This is just a bonus for my acting, we’ve passed the first stage, his father loves me. The next stage is the wedding, you don’t need to worry, he has agreed on the condition.” Rose gave Lilian the update she needed to hear. “Wow, that was fast. He must really mean business, thank you, Rose. Enjoy the money and make sure you
