Prologue

Lillian walked gently to meet the only friend she had made in her father's neighborhood. She'd come to spend her holiday with her father and it had ended so quick she would be leaving the next day which was Sunday to get ready for the resumption on Monday.

She was going to miss her friend. The first time they met,he had been very warm to her and they had become fast friends, if not best friends.

Now,she was going to her mother's house where she lived. She was going to miss her friend. Her parents didn't live together and she had chosen to live with her mother,so she only visited her father during holidays and special occasions like birthday parties that involved her.

Lillian had agreed to meet her friend at their favorite place in the town for the last time before she left for Lagos. She smiled as she sighted him under the shade of the tree they usually sit to chat and went to sit beside him on the bench. His house was only some steps away.

"Hello,Lilly," her friend greeted. He loved calling her by her shortened name.

"Hi,Nath,"Lillian replied with a broad smile. He was the only person that called her that nickname. She loved it and wanted it to be that way forever.

They said nothing for a while until Nathaniel broke the silence. " You're leaving tomorrow, right?"

She nodded.

"When will you come back?" His voice was full of worry and bitterness.

"I don't know. That depends on my mother,Nath. And she had gotten into a fight with my dad on the phone, so I'm not sure if I can come here again," Lillian said,looking up at him.

Despite his sitting, he was still taller than her although he was two years older than her. He was eighteen years old.

"Does that mean we might not get to see each other again?" Nath asked.

"We might,in the future," she replied but Nath only shook his head and excused himself. He went inside the house he lived with his mother and brought out some tools that were strange to Lillian and bent before her.

"I am going to write in your arm,Lilly," he told her.

Shocked and scared, she asked,"What? Why?"

"I don't recognize people easily, Lilly.  And I want to be able to recognize you in the future," he explained.

That was true. The only person he could very well recognize was his mother. He could only guess the rest of the faces even if he had seen them a million times. He would have loved to be treated in the hospital by opticians but his family was not well off like Lilly's.

She could only look at him and asked,"Will it hurt?"

"I will do it gently so it won't," he assured.

"I'm scared,Nath. I'm really scared. What if - What if I die?" She voiced her fear.

"No,you won't. Believe me,you will not die. I will use this thing to rub it,'he assured again, showing her an ointment. 

"Okay. I trust you," Lilly uttered and moments later,he was already scribbling on her left arm while she groaned in pain with closed eyes.

"It's done," he said after scribbling on her arm.

Lillian forced a smile and tilted her head to a side to look at her as she tried to read what was there. "Li..Lilly...Na..th. LillyNath?" She inquired with a painful smile.

"Yes. That's our name,Lilly and Nath. LillyNath," he pointed out.

"Okay,but what about my mum?" She asked. She was still worried about it. "What if my mum kills me?"

"No,Lilly. She will never do that to you. Since you said you have your own room,that will help because you will not be dressing in her presence. And you don't have to wear short sleeves,so as to hide the tattoo," Nath expounded.

"So this is a tattoo? I hate tattoos. Where did you learn how to do it?"

Nath smiled. "It's my uncle's work. This is not really a tattoo, though, because that requires a machine. But it's still a kind of tattoo"

"Okay,then." Lilly affirmed and painfully covered her arms with the sleeves of her shirt. 

"I will miss you,Lilly"

"I will miss you too,Nath," she confessed and hugged him tightly with one hand. She couldn't lift the other. It was still aching,but she hoped he would really be able to recognize her with that in the future.

Lillian swayed her hips from side to side as she walked down the hallway of her mother's company. She was radiating happiness and the aroma of her beauty got every of the employees' mouth to get watered. Most of them could not help but look at her more than once. She was walking with confidence and each step she took spoke a lot about it. She was every man's dreams and every lady's goal and the only proud daughter of her parents. She adjusted the straps that were attached to the front of her long sleeved shirt which was on top of a black skirt that reached and rested on her knees. She was the personal assistant of the company while her mother was the CEO, so she needed to look her best. One could always wonder why she was putting on a long sleeved shirt in a very hot weather condition, but she had her reasons. Not tha

       Lillian stirred awake, imbued with the flow of adrenaline in her car. She had fallen asleep there after leaving the restaurant. Was that a dream? Had she been dreaming? What kind of a dream was that? It seemed so real. She heard another knock and looked at the windscreen beside her. There was a man in cop uniform standing and looking through the untainted screen at her. She wound it down and saluted the
