"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 hereMiriam 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
"Hello Director Vin" Lily greeted with a smile and a wave, walking into his office.She wore a cream shorts and a sky blue shirt that was tucked into the short and a black chelsea boots. She intentional left two buttons unbuttoned revealing some part of her cleavage. Her long blonde hair dangled on her shoulders and her dark shade glasses gave her a hot and sexy CEO vibe."You!" He yelled, rising to his feet, pointing his index finger angrily at her."Sure you're in the right mood to do this?" She asked with a wink.He stared at her in lust. "Uh....uh" he mumbled. "I don't care! You stole my money and you shall return it, I promise!" He yelled."Oh, come on! You're yelling at your baby girl" she cried out in a childish tone."Hey!" He shouted. "I have nothing to do with you""Why? Did your wife nag you at home?" She quizzed, wearing a sarcastic smile."Leave, now!""Hello, Director Vin" Jason greeted, walking into his office.He wore a navy blue suit, white shirt, a pair of white nike
Walking out of the hospital, he felt a lot more relieved. Aside the food Miriam had prepared for him, being with her was very relaxing. He smiled and pressed a button, his car unlocked and he walked in.******"Hi Lily"She looked up to him wearing a smile. "George, you have been too clingy these days, is there something you wish to say to me? What? You finally engaged your girlfriend?"He scoffed as he sat on her table. "What do you take me for? I'm just trying to be productive. I noticed I haven't really been doing much and at the end of the year, Jason might dismiss me" he held his chest, looking gloomy. "Ugh! That scares me" he whispered.Lily couldn't help but laugh at his expression. "George! You know that is a lie, Jason will never dismiss you""Why not?""Being my assistant is enough proof that he wants the best for you and you're doing well on your end. You deliver all your tasks before due date. Working with you is always a smooth ride""Huh? That's because there's no so mu
Immediately Vivian walked away, the bus arrived. She walked into the bus, heartbroken and upset. Why did she care? She wondered. It was a lie. Pretending she didn't care was a lie, it upsets her to hear those words from Vivian.She thought things were finally working out for them but Vivian may be right, how could she expect him to love him because they were friends when his definition of love is Vivian?She mopped her eyes and took a deep breath before alighting from the bus. As she alighted from the bus, she could sight him standing in front of the restaurant, fiddling his phone. She exhaled and walked into the hospital, ignoring him. Meeting him at this moment will upset her more, the best thing she could do for herself was avoid him for a while."You don't have to wait for me, I won't be seeing her tonight. I had a long day at work." she texted him and returned her phone to her bag before opening the door."Mom!" She called out, beaming with smiles.********Just as they agreed, D
Lily's bag dropped dead to the floor. "What? What did you just say?" She questioned, walking closer to Nathan.Jason ignored them and ran into his car. Nathan and Lily joined him. She sat in the front seat, cleaning her eyes with her palms. The more she cleaned, the more the tears gushed out of her eyes.Jason stared at her for a while before igniting the car."Nathan, you cannot easily announce she's dead. You can as well say she was attacked or unconscious. Ms. Miriam cannot die and you know that!" Jason quarrelled.Nathan looked at him from the back seat where he sat. He exhaled and looked through the window to dry up his tears using the wind.Immediately they arrived at the hospital, Lily alighted from the car without waiting for Jason to properly park. Jason left the car, throwing the keys to Nathan to park properly.She shook her head aggressively, holding back her tears as she ran into the hospital. As she arrived at Miriam's room, they found the guard laying lifelessly on the
Martins face returned to normal immediately Jason walked past him. "Tighten the security for mother" he ordered and walked away."Let me drive, please" Nathan suggested, holding Jason's wrist.Jason left the car's handle and turned to the passenger's seat in front."Stop the car" Lily suddenly commanded. Nathan obliged. She walked out of the car and opened the door for Jason to step out.He obeyed. As soon as he stepped out, she took his hands and dragged him away, few meters away from where the car was parked and where Nathan stood."What's this about?"She took his hands with a swollen eyes. "I understand the relationship you shared with my mother. She was always talked about you each time I go to see her. I saw how she genuinely cared for you that it almost got me jealous. Miriam loved you and I'm also aware how attached you were to her and I guess Martins leveraged on that but please, let's handle this legally. Miriam was my mother as well, this breaks my heart as much as it doe
It was a great night, a really great night. May and Martins had just became close as they sat opposite each other, looking through their eyes, studying their capabilities, fire and will power, each sipping wine from their champagne glasses. Martins decision to make May his Attorney was a risky move. He was literally risking his mother's life and his final decision to end Jason for good. May on the other hand had nothing to lose. Although, winning Martins on her side was a plus one but it wasn't going to be a great loss if he decides to leave her anyways. She was doing well before she met him, she only admired the fact that he was very daring. It was a great night for Lily. She was just planning one of the biggest project of her life and the death of her mother was broken to her like slices of bread. What was more frustrating was that she had to go to work the following morning, wearing a smile and assigning tasks as usual. She hated the attention from her colleagues an
