"Isn't that Lily Blake?" She thought as she saw Lily walking towards them. She couldn't just tear her eyes off her as she came. She had known Lily for a long time now because of her family, but she hadn't had the privilege to even have a conversation with her.Now, seeing her at the birthday, she giggled happily. This might actually be her chance to become friends with the girl she has always wanted to be friends with."Rob," Lily called out softly. "You came late!"She spoke in a very casual tone, and it left Samantha speechless. She was wondering where she knew someone such as Robert from. Lily walked closer to Robert and hugged him."I will forgive you because you're looking very dashing!" she praised.Robert laughed before responding, "And you too, you look quite different today, but yeah, different in a very good way!"Lily's face turned beet red from blushing. "Whatever! Just come in." She pulled him by the arm when Samantha suddenly stopped them."Hey, Lily!" Samantha said with
He scrutinized her for a few moments, and the resemblance was clear as daylight. He knew at once that she was Lily's sister. Turning around, Lily saw her sister, and a proud smirk curled up her lips. Her sister grabbed her hand and pulled her away from the seat. The two ladies excused themselves for some petty gossip."Is he the one?" Sarah asked curiously.Lily rolled her eyes. "Please stop! Don't make this about me. Today is your day, and we won't be speaking about me."Sarah frowned. "No secrets, remember?"Lily couldn't help but laugh. "Of course it ain't any secret. I can give you a breakdown of everything later on, but not today, please, Sarah. Go back, let's enjoy your day."Sarah was slightly disappointed. She sluggishly pulled her feet and acted like she was okay until she reached the table where Robert was sitting."Ummh, sorry for leaving you out. My sister is such a silly human!" She remarked.Robert smiled. "Let her be. Today is her day. And that reminds me, you forgot to
Sarah noticed the growing tension and awkwardly chuckled. "Okay, that's okay for now, Damian. I need you and your guys to join Lily and Robert at their own table. I will send someone to set a table right next to that one."She walked forward and grabbed her sister's ear. "This boy is so hot! I really didn't see him at first, and he is into you so much. Don't even dare lie to me! Is he the one fucking you?" she whispered.Lily didn't know when her eyes widened at her sister's words. "Come on, Sarah! No, we are not. We are just..." Before she finished her words, Sarah quickly covered her mouth to avoid her from spilling more than required."Shut the fuck up, sis!" She was stunned. She quickly let Lily go and rushed out from there immediately. She didn't want her sister to spill their small little secrets.Lily blushed, and she rolled her eyes shyly since everyone was now looking at her, including Robert."My instincts tell me I am the topic of discussion!" Robert said.Lily was stunned t
CHAPTER.Sarah's lips twitched into a wide grin as she walked back to the custom-made chair that was made for the celebrant. She was both curious and excited about what Damian had in store for her; it must be something very expensive and unique.Meanwhile, Robert rolled his eyes at Damian's boastful behavior. A few minutes later, Sarah got hold of the microphone and gave a little thankful message to some people. The whole place went silent; everyone wanted to hear what she had to say. Cameras were in action, ready to take video records of Sarah.She smiled graciously and said, ”I really don't know what to say, but I want to say a very big thank you to everyone that made it possible from their busy schedules to come here tonight. Thank you all; I really appreciate it. And a special thanks to Damian for his support. Actually, he took care of this hall.” Hearing this, Damian was proud, but internationally, he downplayed it and said. ”Oh Sarah, no need to call me out, especially since
She quickly acted like nothing happened, but Damian's face said it all. It was plastered with a frown, and his fists were clenched in rage. Looking at how Robert just flirted with Lily, and she was very uncomfortable with it, made him angrier. As Lily turned to leave, he quickly rose up from his chair and blocked her path."What was that?" He asked, his tone stern.Lily was surprised. "What do you mean, Damian? What is that?" She asked him.Damian scoffed, "Now you've got amnesia, right? You've totally forgotten what just happened between you and that scum a minute ago?"His eyes were burning with rage at how she was okay with the flirt. She even flashed him a smile after he let go of the knife, but when he held her hand, she was trying so hard to pull away from him like he was a plague. But in Robert's case, it was the reverse."Lily, don't tell me you don't know what I'm talking about. He was flirting with you, and you're even happy with it!" He spat.Lily was taken aback. What was
Their voices were beginning to get much louder with each passing minute and everyone in the room had adjusted their attention to the ongoing scene. Damian was boiling in anger, hearing what Robert and Lily had just said to him. He couldn't believe he had done all he had done when Lily wanted to study in Asia and got an entry, but her father refused. In reality, her father was a staunch and strict Muslim man who wanted to make the best choices for his children, but Lily turned out to be the black sheep and decided to go all out to Asia to study for her masters and PhD since she also had some side jobs to get a degree in language.Back then, after she decided to go through with it, her father made sure to block her cards and even tried to make sure her application was revoked, but Damian stepped in and had his family sponsor her education since his family had a major conglomerate down there in Asia. Well, not really sponsoring her whole education on a platter of gold, they did give her
CHAPTERSitting so close to Lily, Damian could feel how angry she was. At this point, he quickly regretted his actions. He shouldn't have done it or said all of those things to her. However, after some time, the tension in the room dissipated. Damian gracefully walked over to Sarah. When it was time for him to present his gift, he was excited to give it and make a fuss about it."Happy birthday, Sarah," he said, handing her a wrapped box. "Thank you for being a great friend and always being there."Sarah blushed as she hugged him. "Thank you for coming despite your busy schedule. I really appreciate it."She slowly pushed the gift to her side, but Damian proudly insisted, "Hey, unwrap it now! Let's see what's inside.""Of course!" she exclaimed, eager to see the contents.As Sarah unwrapped the gift, her eyes widened in astonishment, and a bright smile spread across her face. The box revealed a stunning lady's watch, its diamond-encrusted bracelet glinting in the light. The watch's
CHAPTER."Who knows if it might be a fake one," Damian argued. "A lady's Rolex watch is always limited annually."At first, no one paid attention to the fact that the watch might actually be a fake one. Just as Damian said, the watch was actually always a limited one. Only 12 pieces were released every year.Lily quickly suggested, "You can check the validation number on the company's website to see if it's real or not!"Sarah sighed, "That's not needed. Robert wouldn't have brought in a fake watch here." She chuckled, "This is so real, can't you see the diamonds on it?"With a giggle, she tried to push the narrative of a fake watch away. Deep down, she didn't know if it was fake or not, but she just didn't want them to go through the stress of checking. This was supposed to be a happy gathering, not a competition over the authenticity of a gift.But Damian felt like his ego was bruised and wouldn't let it go. He slipped out his phone and quickly logged into the Rolex website. "Okay,
