" Why did you look so shocked as if you had seen a ghost? I thought you would welcome me with a refreshing hug, you stand there glaring at me? Is that how to welcome an old friend?"Fredrick ranted while he smiled at Lilly.Lilly laughed, " I should give you a refreshing hug, that will only happen in your dream. Anyway, welcome back to this city, how have you been?" She asked sarcastically." I'm fine babe, I have missed you a lot, that's why I traced you here" Frederick answered.Frederick had been out of the country for a couple of months now, even before the Advent of the viral outbreaks. He was sent to hold one of their branches in a neighboring City by his father. His father was tired of his Playboy ways and how he had tarnished his family image, so he sent him away to calm down the paparazzi and the masses.He was supposed to have returned to Oslo before now, but when the viral outbreaks occurred, his parents had him stay back for safety. He still had the intention to win Lilly's
Frederick faced his driver to talk to him about his change of plan." I need to branch somewhere urgently, give me the car key, and I will see you at home," he said to his driver." Can't I take you there? Your father does not want you to go out alone anymore. He said he didn't want you to misbehave", the driver complained. He didn't want Frederick to go out alone, because every time he went out alone, he usually caused havoc that would taint his father's image." Will you shut up and give me the key, I need to follow these guys urgently" Frederick said angrily." Who is he? I must know where you are going before I can release this key to you, sir, I'm sorry" the driver was adamant. He didn't want to lose his job as a result of Frederick's reckless attitude.Frederick calmed down while looking at the driver, he knew using force on the man could cause him problems with his dad, so he needed to tame him." I will be back home before my father gets home please, I will help you pay for yo
Lilly's two hands were tied with a dangling rope upon her head, her two legs were also tied to the chair she was forced to sit on. She was looking weak and her eyes were sullen. Her hair was scattered and the clothes she put on were tattered and dirty. Instead of begging for mercy, she still had enough strength to fiercely argue with her captor. The place looked like an abandoned warehouse in an underground, more like a basement." Babygirl, why are you doing this to yourself? I have shown you nothing but love, yet you refused to accept me as your man. I know Lucas was more agile in look than me, but I'm equally handsome. I will take care of you, why can't you just proclaim your love for me, and free yourself from this torture" Frederick said using his hand to rearrange Lilly's scattered hair." I'm highly disappointed in you, Frederick. I don't know if you could commit this heinous crime of kidnapping me just to force me into accepting you. You want me to proclaim my love for you, th
" What nonsense are you talking about? You can be sued for defamation of character if you continue with this act. Firstly you mentioned Frederick which wasn't yet acceptable to me, now you mentioned Miss Fisher who had been in Rowland's household even before Lilly was born. And she had been a motherly figure to Lilly since she was born, so stop confusing me!" Lucas was frustrated." You won't get confused if you can calm your nerves and listen attentively without interrupting me. Can you do that please?" Albert requested. He knew it was a lot for the young man to bear, but he needed him to calm himself so that he could understand him better." Fredrick had been a son to a Rowland family friend since he was born, so it was easy for him to penetrate that household. Miss Fisher was used by him, so She was ignorant to the fact that she was the weapon used to capture her boss's daughter" Albert said." How did you know all this?" Lucas asked" When I overheard the discussion between my fat
Lucas carried an unconscious Lilly out of the basement while Frederick was dragged by Albert, both of them were taken to the hospital afterward. Lucas called Lilly's parents to notify them of their whereabouts and their joy knew no bounds.Justin shouted when he heard the good news via phone call from Lucas, his wife rushed in to ask him the cause of his scream, but he didn't answer her. All he could do was to shed tears of joy. He moved closer to his wife and hugged her." She has been found, our daughter has been found by Lucas," Justin said amidst tears, but he couldn't get any reaction from his wife. The poor woman went dumb when she heard the news, all she could mutter was, "Where is my daughter, I need to set my eyes on her before I start rejoicing", Lilliana said. She got up from her seat, put on slippers and car keys, then she faced her husband." Can you describe the place to me? I will drive there myself", she said eagerly." Drive yourself? I can't allow you to drive in th
Lilly laughed as she heard what Albert said. She had already forgotten the anger she felt towards him, but she almost went crazy about Frederick's disappearance. She would have fallen from her hospital bed if not for her mother's intervention." That monster, that ... that he-goat must not escape. If he enters a hell hole, he must be captured. He cannot inflict that gruesome amount of pain on me and go Scot-free, that will never happen, as long as I breathe." She teared up as she talked." Mom, I will never forgive him nor his entire family. He made me suffer, he slapped me and if not that Lucas came on time, he was planning to rape me that night. His obsession had made him crazy and he must not be allowed to roam on the street", she sobbed on her mother's shoulder." There must be something Lucifer had against him that made him agree to his evil plans easily. That's Lucifer's way of bending people to his terms. He had been a criminal for a long time.", Albert uttered." Indeed, peopl
" Are you still in love with her?" Albert asked as they stepped out of Alex's house" Who?", Lucas asked, turning his attention to him" Elena, didn't you see how she was drooling at you?", Albert elaboratedLucas smiled," she drooled at her peril, she might just admiring my new look anyway, you never can tell" he replied nonchalantly" That look was more than admiring, she was imagining you naked," Albert said" Oh, I have forgotten you could read minds. I can't love another man's wife. Moreover, I have my damsel waiting for me in the hospital. When you are talking about true love, Lilly is the definition of true love. She met me at my lowest point and she brushed me up to a perfect-looking man. She is the only one I'm in love with", Lucas said with joy. He was smiling as he was explaining how much Lilly meant to him." She is still hot, though, even after giving birth to a child" Albert complimented Elena's look. One thing Elena did not joke about was her look. She always made sure
Alex shook his head as he saw the woman he was once in love with and still in love with stagger through the entrance of their house. Even though there was some feud between them, he still loved Elena dearly. But love was a thing that could not be forced, and if Elena decided that she didn't want to have anything with him anymore, he was ready to grant her wish. After all, he was tagged as her mother's murderer.Although he took another man's wife, he didn't consider himself guilty of any offense. Elena's heart wasn't with Lucas then, so he just came in at the right time to fill the space in her heart. For him, it was love at first sight, he was captured by her beauty and her eloquence, and no man in his right frame of mind would want to lose the opportunity of calling her his woman.Apart from being a spoiled brat which was a result of poor upbringing, Elena was outspoken, brave, supportive, intelligent, and beautiful. These are the features Alex saw in her that didn't make him care i
