“Some days after Lilly was discharged from the hospital, I started feeling a severe headache and I felt weak easily. I didn't take it seriously until I started experiencing dizziness, so I went to the hospital for a check up. It was detected during the check up that I have blood cancer. I couldn't believe the result because there was no one in my family that had cancer, so I went to the state general hospital. I was devastated when I was referred to an oncologist. My world was crumbling before me. I took a week's permission from you with the excuse of a vacation, but the time was what I needed to reflect on the new discovery about myself. I'm very sorry, honey” Lilliana narrated.Justin held his head firmly, because every word that came out of his wife's mouth sent him an excruciating headache.He removed his hands from his head, then placed one on his chest. His heart pounded in his chest and his vision became blurred, all the systems in his body were destabilized. He saw the signs a
“ I can't believe I'm finally getting married to my savior. The man that came through for me when I had lost hope. Wow, I'm getting married!” Lilly screamed in joy.“ Will you shut up and allow the makeup artist to focus on her job? We are all happy, just keep quiet” Clara cautioned her. They were sitting in one of the hotel rooms rented for the wedding ceremony.The ceremony was an outdoor wedding, the reception and the solemnization of holy matrimony would be done outside the hotel. It was a place surrounded by an island. The couple wanted to be surrounded with nature while they were pronounced husband and wife. They wanted their union to be witnessed by a river goddess as well as satisfy the belief of Lilliana as a Christian.Clara was heavily pregnant waiting for her due date and her hormones were not stable, so she was pissed by Lilly noise.“ Please allow my daughter to scream if she wants to, today is her happy day. You can stay in the second room, if you are disturbed by her n
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
