"I'm so sorry for my clumsiness,sir. I'll handle it."However, Alexander didn't say any word.Lily went out and came back with one of the cleaners of the company, in a jiffy, the office was clean and neat again.Standing before him, Lily apologized, "I'm so sorry, sir.""It's not your fault. You may leave," he said, but his face was filled with immense pain. He looked like someone in serious agony. Although Lily didn't know exactly what is wrong with him, Lily felt bad for him."Erm... Sir... Are you fine?"Alexander Bell looked at her weakly for a few seconds, took a while before he responded, "do I look fine to you?""Oh..." Lily was dumbfounded. What was wrong with her? Why was she acting concerned? She better take her leave. "I'll take my leave, sir."As she turned to leave, Alexander spoke, "my ex wife...."Lily turned to him quietly.Alexander continued after a few seconds, "she divorced me many years ago and vanished. I have searched every hooks and crannies of the earth for he
She paused and looked around, she suddenly sighted a familiar face around a Lexus Rx 450."Ella!" Lily screamed happily. It was her old friend in her university days. She was as a matter of fact her room mate and her bestfriend then. The two women ran into eachother and hugged dearly."Ella, where in the world have you been, how are you?" Lily asked merrily."I travelled to Canada for my masters. I lost your contact, I'm back now," she said with a smile. All of a sudden, she received a message on her phone, "oh my days... The personal assistant to the CEO wants to see me, I need to go back now.""Sure, let's talk later. I also work here," Lily said."Perfect!" She said and both friends quickly exchanged contact, "I've missed you so much, Lily."Lily only blushed and watched as her friend sped away. As she walked back to her car, she began to reminisce about their beautiful days in the university. Ella was such a beautiful soul, she was hundred percent loyal and honest. She was also ve
Alexander frowned angrily, "get away!"Lily opened her eyes when she heard Drake's voice. Seeing that her eyes were opened, Drake Bell spoke, "Lily, so sorry I came late. Did those gangsters dare to hurt you? I promise you, I'll feed their bones to the eagles. Come with me." He stretched his hand as though he wants to carry a baby."Drake Bell, get out of my sight. This place would soon become a place of blood bath if you don't," Alexander threatened but he meant every single word he said."Uncle, take it easy. You can't carry her away, she needs to go back to our children, they are missing her badly," Drake Bell told his uncle.Alexander was shocked to find out that Lily has kids. But hearing him say 'our children' bothers him even more. Did Lily has kids for Drake Bell? If so, why then was Lily claiming that Drake Bell was forcing her to live with him against her will?At the mention of her children, Lily knew she had to let Drake take her home. All these while, she was still in Ale
"Erm...""You may go, let me know your response before the day closes," Alexander said and opened the reports before him."I'll go with you, sir," Lily agreed.Alexander looked at her and nodded then permitted her to leave.A couple of hours later, Alexander Bell and Lily sat on the same table. They had a delicious sets of food before them but they were yet to start eating."I found out you grew up in the orphanage," Alexander Bell spoke."That's right, sir." She answered. This was supposed to be a date, right? But she couldn't help but address him officially."Your parents..." He said, making Lily's eyes lit up. Did he know anything about her parent? Cause honestly, Lily didn't have the faintest idea of how her parents looked like. All she know about them was what Mila, the mathron in the orphanage told her. It's ironical to her how the mathron in the orphanage she grew up in ended up as Amelia's mom.Lily waited for him to speak but instead he was quiet, as if he intentionally put h
Once Drake Bell appeared before her, he hurriedly spoke, "Lily, who made you cry?" A look of a sincere concern was obvious on his face. This was the type of look she yearnred earnestly to see on him many years ago when they were married but she never got to see it."I'm fine," Lily continued walking inside her room.Drake Bell caught up with her and asked again, "your eyes are swollen so obviously, something is wrong. Lily, I know you don't like me but at least, let me protect you. You can't be living with me and someone out there will have the gut to bully you.""I just said I'm fine," lily wasn't impressed by his so called 'caring' attitude at all. Infact, it even disgusts her more. Where was this attitude many years ago when she was married to him?Drake Bell paused and simply watched until she faded out of sight.Lily cried her eyes out until evening. The realization was too heavy for her. When it was 9PM in the evening, she received a call from Ella.It had even escaped her mind
Lily furrowed her brow, she swallowed and took a few seconds of thinking on what he said before she responded, "erm... I wasn't thinking straight then too. Ouch! I've really messed up many times before you, sir. Please don't mind it.""Well, I'll like to," he said.Lily's heart skipped at his words. She immediately let out a dry laugh, "sir... I know you are joking.""I'm not." Alexander answered.Lily's face drop, did he really mean that he wants to marry her? "Sir, I have two kids.""I already know that.""Erm... I'm not mentally capable of marriage now, sir. I'm so sorry," Lily felt guilty for asking him out then. Truth is, she can't go into marriage with anyone now.Alexander stared deep into her eyes for a long time, same with Lily, she couldn't help but adore his beautiful look.Whereas, there was Drake Bell who had traced Lily here after the butler informed him that she left home.Drake Bell who was leaning by his car watched as Alexander and Lily stood very close to eachother,
"I need to speak to you, Drake ..." She said with a pitiful look. Drake Bell who had just finished wearing a simple night wear walked over to sit on one of the two couches in the room, "go on." "Can I sit, please?" She asked and Drake Bell gestured for her to. "I will be your wife legally in a couple of weeks, I don't feel comfortable with another woman staying here with my hubby. Lily needs to leave," she said. "Are you giving me a command in my own house?" Drake Bell asked coldly. "Of course not, I'm just saying ..." "Saying what? She has two kids for me, do you want me to send her and my kids away?" Drake Bell asked. Amelia then confirmed that those two kids that she had seen on the media that Drake Bell was holding were actually his biological children. What's even more heartbreaking to her, those two kids were born to him by Lily. Amelia had cold sweats formed quickly on his forehead on this revelation. She felt like someone that had a huge loss on a bet. "I..." She stut
When it was break period of the following day, Drake Bell and two partners from Canada were to have lunch together at Kakao Restaurant, a very high end restaurant that's only reserved for the wealthy alone. Drake Bell and the two partners were lead by seven professional security men into the VIP section of the restaurant. Drake Bell sat while the two partners sat around the table. The two partners were two averagely old men who would be in their early fifties. They were all on suits.Drake Bell was the one who hosted them to this lunch as a way to show his hospitality. Soon, delicious foods were served before them.Drake Bell by instinct looked around and was stunned to the gut to see Lily and Alexander eating together. Drake Bell's heart shrinked and his mood turned seriously sour. Did she rejected to go on a date with him just so she can go on a date with Alexander Bell?Drake Bell didn't even know why this hurts so much. He lowered his head for so long that one of the partners havi
