"What are you doing?!" She shouted, fighting against his grip as soon as they got outside. "I understand the fact that you have issues with women but I will never do that for the sake of the company. You should expect my resignation letter soon""Come on, he didn't say he was going to sleep with you""What will an elderly man old enough to be my father be doing with me by 7pm at a hotel? What? He wants me to sing him a lullaby or play with his cheeks?""It upsets you, doesn't it? Let's deal with him together. I promise, I won't stop you"*******Jason was struck as soon as she walked out of the dressing room.She wore a simple short black sleeveless dress. A long black hand gloves. A white beaded choker, beaded white earrings and a beaded bracelet. She lit up a smile as her wavy hair dangled on her shoulders."How do I look?""Gosh! You didn't have to look so beautiful for someone you don't like""I would have said you were jealous if there was someone else standing here in place of y
She chuckled softly and turned to him. "What? You think she's my mother because I feel sorry for her?"He brought out his pen and began to play with it. "You know, Ms. Miriam had two children, Ann and Jamie. Jamie died 2 years after she left them, Mr Benson her husband died afterwards and Ann? She relocated to a new city to start life afresh. She added Lily to her name, just so that she could cover her identity""This is a make-up story and I'm not going to fall for it!"He smiled. "You're still denying? That day she was arrested, you visited her in prison, you paid her hospital bills, got an Attorney and attended all her trials. You are upset with her but somehow you are guilty of leaving her to herself. Who will do that much for someone they feel sorry for?"She turned away from him, stifling her tears. She let out a sigh and returned her gaze to him. "Don't force me into becoming what I'm not. I won't let that happen.""I saw those eye
"Theft, fraud? Where's Director Vin and the Detective who arrested you?"The officers sprung to their feet at the sight of Jason."He's Chairman Malcolm's grandson" they all whispered to one another.Lily smiled. "I sent a message asking you not come with Mr Grey, it's unnecessary, we can handle this, sorry, you can""I'm Grey, her Attorney" Mr Grey introduced."Why is my staff here?""She was arrested for theft, fraud and forgery" one of the Officers in charged explained."Let's see the evidence""Miss Lily here and Director Vin had an agreement to meet at a hotel last night"The detective who arrested Lily turned the laptop to face Mr Grey. "This is a footage of Lily walking into hotel. This is you, sir but we believed you came for another reason. These are also screenshots of debit alerts sent to Director Vin few minutes after she left his room, it was also discovered that she stole some money from h
"No freaking way! Are you being real right now?!"He smiled and nodded. "A bit surprising but yeah""Wow! This is great news!""I don't know how far my memories can go but I'm glad this is the first visible memory""What the hell! Slow is progress, you're making great progress!" She expressed with laughter, punching him playfully.He chuckled at her. For a second, he admired the Lily standing before him. It took him back to the memories they shared as Lily and Cash.He returned his gaze to the grave with his both hands tucked into his pockets. "How long have you known she was buried here?""About a week or so""Gosh! This is great news. Although not so great but I'm glad you can finally trace back to your roots."He smiled and nodded in agreement. "I may not have so much detailed memories but my mom was a great woman"Lily smiled and nodded. "I bet, you are a great son, I can only ima
"Sorry, I couldn't come yesterday because I was so busy acting as the COO of the company" George apologized, running into Kentons mansion.Dame Kristine sat on the sofa chair, coloring her finger nails, while her daughter-in-law sat before her feet, cleaning her toe nails.Vivian laid on her mother's thigh, a lollipop in her mouth as she busied with cleaning her finger nails as well.Vivian sprung to her feet after George broke the news to them.Kristine lit up a smile. "Why all of a sudden?""Lily was arrested yesterday" he announced wearing a smile.Kristine clapped her hands, still wearing a bright smile signalling her daughter-in-law to leave."Tell us already! What happened?" Kristine questioned cheerfully."I don't know what happened but I think she got involved with Director Vin and it seemed like Jason was involved because at the office when the Detective came to arrest her, she told me to call Jason imm
"Ouuuuu! You look beautiful!" Exclaimed, Lily.Miriam wore an infectious smile. "Are you sure we can do this? Will it not be too trouble....""Ssshhhh. Today is about you, remember?" Jason reminded.She nodded her head thoughtfully. "Sure"Their first stop was at a restaurant, Miriam wished to try out a food that was always advertised. After they were done trying the meal, they proceeded to the park."Wow! I missed this" she exclaimed in a soft tone.Lily chuckled.Jason turned to Lily with a wink.She raised a brow at him, wondering what he meant."Uh, shit! Something crazy just happened at the office, I have to hurry now. I will try my best to return and take you guys to the hospital" Jason explained.Miriam smiled. "It's totally fine. You can go""Argh! I really wanted to spend time with you. Are you sure you'll be fine?""You should visit me soon. Besides, I have Lily here
Miriam smiled and responded to her in a calm tone. "Like what?" "You could have told them you were going to work or you got a job, I'm sure there must have been a better way around it rather than doing that to your kids!" Lily shouted and sniffed.Miriam smiled. "Nothing could change the fact that their mom was leaving to become a prostitute."Lily sighed as a few droplets of tears swiveled down her cheeks. Her entire life was a lie. Jason was right, there was a hidden piece that was excluded from the story she knew all her life. She was wrong, her feelings, thoughts, they were all wrong." We were aware of how much the news will spread in no time. I was giving my children a reason to be able to defend themselves in class. I could imagine Ann telling her classmates, 'My mom and dad are no longer together, so she can go on and do whatever she wants!' and if her classmates countered her response by saying, your mom left your dad because h
"Lily" Nathan called out warmly with a smile."Oh, Mr Nathan!" She responded with a warm smile."Hello Ms. Miriam" Nathan greeted with a wave."How are you? How was your trip?" She quizzed excitingly."Let's talk about that over some dinner" he whispered to her ears."There won't be any need for that. Whatever you wish to hear will be shared to you by me" Jason objected childishly, walking in their midst.Nathan and Lily caught a quick glance at themselves and chuckled."Hello, Ms. Miriam" Jason greeted with a warm smile, crouching down to her.She gave him a warm smile. She took his hands and placed it on her thighs. "Your mother must be super proud of you to have an amazing son like you"He smiled. "Sure, I'm sure she is" he muttered."Jason" she called out softly.He felt goosebumps on his body, bringing back a bit of his memories. The way she called him gave him chills and reminded him of how his mother usually called him."Thank you, Jason." She expressed. "I do not know how to e
