At the sound of the gun shots, everywhere was silent and everybody was stagnant. It was when Lilliana fell with a thud that their brain resumed work. Justin was still lost in his position, but Lilly ran towards her mother.“ No! No! Mom! You can't do this to me, please open your eyes” she held her mother tightly to herself not caring about the blood stain on her beautiful wedding gown. She cried in agony and begged her mother to open her eyes.Lilliana managed to open her eyes and a lone tear fell from her eyes. She held her precious daughter's check and she struggled to speak, “ I'm very I have to leave you this way my princess. Always be a strong woman and don't become evil or a monster because of my death. Learn to forgive people that offend you, because someone that does bad today might be the one to save you tomorrow. I will always love you, my princess” she finished talking, then her eyelids became closed.“ No!, you can't leave me mom, I still have a lot to learn from you. What
“ What are you talking about, Dad? Were you aware of mom's illness? Why wasn't I informed” Lilly stared furiously at her father, demanding immediate answers to her questions.“ At the initial stage of her discovery, she didn't tell me anything, I was also kept in darkness. I stumbled on a piece of paper which fell from her bag, a week to your wedding. That was when I realized my wife had been diagnosed with blood cancer for a few months now and as a husband, I failed to notice it.” Justin explained.Lilly sat down on a bare floor, “ I don't even know what is happening in my family anymore. Are you sure you still consider me as a part of the family? Why did mom keep something as serious as this from me? Why!” She screamed. She felt betrayed by her parents and she felt useless. All of a sudden, she stood up and faced her father, “ Since she is gone, let's meet with the doctor and sign the death certificate, then we can make arrangements for her burial. I believe you will answer my ques
“You again?” Hannah was shocked“ Yes, me! I told you your son would still come back from his hidden place to commit another atrocities. A leopard can never leave its skin and a snake will always be a snake. You raised a criminal and he will always be one” Lucas taunted Hannah raised her hand to slap Lucas but it was caught halfway by him. He didn't use much strength to hold her, so he dropped her hand angrily.“ Not so fast Hannah. Why did you feel offended with my statement? Are there any lies in my words? You derived joy and satisfaction in hurting people around you, so it's your turn to feel the effects of your cruel actions towards your fellow human. It's your turn to witness the painful death of your son. Oh!Was that too harsh? I'm not sorry for that” Lucas taunted her more.“ How dare you speak to me in that manner? I will never bury my child, so watch what you say with your mouth” Hannah said furiously.“ Of course, you won't bury your child, because you will never be given t
Justin was agitated, Lucas was furious and he stepped forward to attack the intruder but Lilly pushed him towards herself. She was scared of the wicked scowl on the man’s face, so she needed to hold onto Lucas for support.“ You should save your stress for another time, boy. I'm only here for your father-in-law, not you. I'm here to pay a sincere condolence to a one-time friend who later turned into a betrayer and murder” the intruder said angrily.“ What are you doing here, Jeffrey? And how did you get to enter through the gate?” Justin said through gritted teeth.Jeffrey, alias Lucifer, grinned wickedly, “ You have let your guard down because of your wife's painful death, so you couldn't protect your house with magic. This made it easy for me to get it, I knew you would be at your weak point.” Lucifer set himself on the couch. He picked up an empty wine glass on the table, then he turned to one of the maids that just entered the living room.“ I want this glass filled up with wine a
Justin sat down in frustration. Lilly widened her eyes in shock while Lucas became furious instantly, but all their gazes were fixed on Justin, who was sitting helplessly on the couch. He thought he had escaped the torment of the past, but Lucifer came back opening a healed wound. He didn't do it in private, he washed his dirty linen in front of his daughter, who was still mourning her lovely mother.His secrets of being a dark lord had also been exposed to his son-in-law. He knew Lucas possessed magic the first day he was brought home by his daughter, but he wanted to support him because he was the chosen one. Justin was not born a sorcerer, but Lucas's spiritual gifts and powers were natural. They were inbuilt, so he hid his dark magic. He wasn't proud of his initiation, so he was ashamed to show it before Lucas, except that he protected his house with it.Justin was helpless, he knew he betrayed his wife and daughter's trust, but he was also confused. He dragged his head up and dem
Lilly smiled as she watched her father's outburst. Justin was furious at his daughter's ridiculous wish and he disagreed vehemently. When he was done with his tantrums, he found Lilly looking at him with keen interest. “ Why is your expression like that? Why are you laughing at my condition?” Justin asked, surprised with his daughter's reaction.“ Inviting Joy and her mother here can be possible, and it will definitely be possible. I have never known you as a coward, Dad, so you have to own up to your responsibility.” Lilly said, her joyous face turned to a distasteful look towards her father.“ How did you expect me to accept a child from a prostitute? She took advantage of me!” He shouted.“ No dad, you were aware of what you did. Either you were under the influence of alcohol or not, you enjoyed it, so you have to be responsible for your actions. Joy might be a result of a one-night stand, but she is still your flesh and blood. She came from your loin, so I will never allow you to
Everybody present in the court watched the video with uninterrupted attention. Frederick smirk turned to fear, he never expected the lawyer to present the footage of his interactions with Miss Fisher to the court. He suddenly lost the courage he had earlier and he turned his gaze towards his mother. Hannah placed her hand on her chest to console him, the act was to pacify him to calm down.The judge ordered the clerk to remove the disk, then labeled it as evidence number 1.“ Barrister Tyler, please continue with your question” he said.“ Although there were a lot of witnesses on how Frederick disrupted the peaceful wedding between Lucas Wilson and Lilly Rowland, and how the drama of the murder unfolds, I still present to you the evidence that backs up our claims. Let's watch the contents of the disk, please.”, The lawyer gave another disk to the clerk.The video showed how Frederick removed his mask and how he threatened the couple, before Lilliana was killed. Hannah shouted from her
“ What kind of business do you have with Hannah? She might look miserable right now, but she is very cunning and wicked. Please be careful when dealing with her.” Lilly Advised Lucas as they were returning home.“ I know, love. I have made my findings about her and I know what she is capable of doing. Don't worry about her, I know how to deal with someone like that” Lucas replied.“ Can you please stay away from her path? When did you even start having issues with her?” Lilly asked, confused. She knew Lucas could not easily meet Hannah, because she was always traveling. How Lucas met her was surprising to her.“ I met her in the hospital you were admitted to when you were kidnapped. She smiled wickedly at me when your father was boiling in anger when Frederick escaped. I knew she had a hand in the escape, so I challenged her. I told her to laugh while it lasted, because she would surely cry over her son. That was our first encounter.” Lucas answered.Lilly opened her mouth in shock, “
