Lily gasped in shock.
She thought she had heard him wrongly. The features of the boy in the image started to make sense to her since she had wondered why he seemed so familiar in the first place.
"Girlfriend?" She swallowed, surprisingly losing her voice to a crack.
Roman looked like he was shocked he had said his thoughts out loud. With a sigh, he lowered his voice and put the picture back into the book and stuffed his hands in his pocket. "Was."
"You don't have to lie to me." She said, unable to hide the hurt that flashed through her voice.
'she's dead.' He said like it was nothing.
"Oh." Lily blurted and felt her heart warm instantly. "I'm so sorry." She sighed. She knew she was supposed to feel sad but a part of her felt relief that this woman in question was not a part of his life anymore.
"What happened?" She wondered
"I don't want to talk about it " he said, putting the book away. Now that his brain cells had

She pointed out."Stay away from him, he's a fucking bastard." Roman spat out, hatred laced through his voice."Why?" Lily couldn't hold back from asking."He's the bad egg. He's with mom." He simplified his response."So why is he here then?""Emily is still in touch with him and thinks he is still family no matter what. Of course, she would invite him."

Lily's eyes moved to Kim's where she was standing behind the door and frowned. How could she have?Roman on the other hand didn't seem phased but he made no movements at all."This is all a misunderstanding officers." Lily stepped forward to interrupt. "This was an act of defence, that man was trying to assault me, my husband only came to fight for me." She hadn't had reason to be in front of an officer like this before."Ma'am, he will have to say these things when he comes with us." The officer wasn't convinced one bit.Lily thought these type of things did not happen with rich people but she couldn't be more wrong."I'll be fine I promise."

Lily arrived at the police station when it was a few minutes to midnight. They would not let her see Roman and she was so relieved when she saw Fred walk into the waiting room."Fred, I'm so glad you're here." She was so relieved to see another known face that she cared less and just hugged him tight. He didn't return the embrace but she didn't mind."How did this happen?" He sounded disturbed and understandably so. It was only a matter of time before the media would take this news everywhere."I…" Lily began to explain but she stopped when she saw Fred was looking over her shoulder with a frown. She turned to look at the woman that had come in. She was a ginger head and she was in her pyjamas. Her eyes were heavy with sleep and swollen from crying too much."Your son has killed my son!" She held Fred's collar tight and squeezed. "That untrained brat has taken his life.""Sarah he's fine." Fred sighed, taking her hands off him. "He's o

She couldn't tell where the shot had hit him because his chest and arm were soaked through his shirt.The bastard was grinning like he had been victorious and was now aiming his gun at Lily. Roman pushed her out of the way and dodged the bullet before it was shot.That must have angered the stranger because he was now making his way towards them."Put your hands up, your weapons on the floor."
