Lily Shawn

At the graveside, Mr Shawn held the little baby in one arm and a flower in the other staring at Mrs Shawn's grave."Forgive me, my love, forgive me, for all the pain I have caused you," he apologized and shifted his gaze to the sleeping baby in his arms."My little angel, forgive me. I promise to protect you and give you a great life." he said and placed the flower on the grave and read the inscription on the gravestone 'Mrs. Lily Shawn, 5th June 1994 - 7th March 2021. I will never forget you'"She was still young, very young," hee thought and left the graveside.He looked at the baby sleeping in his arms while walking toward his parked car. He secured the sleeping baby in the back seat. Ensuring she was ok. He went around the car to the driver's side, took one last glance in the direction of the graveside and exhaled heavily before getting into the car and driving off. Abigail came out of the shower wrapped in a towel with another wrapped around her hair. She picked the dryer from th

Like that, four years went by.Mr Shawn came out of his room wearing a black tuxedo and holding a briefcase. He was on a call which ended upon entering the kitchen."Good morning Mr Shawn," greeted Nora."Good morning," replied Mr Shawn."Daddy, daddy," Lily called in her small voice running into Mr Shawn's arms.He dropped his briefcase and carried her in his arms. Planting a kiss on her forehead, he tickled her. Lily laughed and wrapped her arms around Mr Shawn's neck."Stop tickling baby Lily," said Lily in a small adorable voice.Nora smiled and suggested, "Sir, Lily is 5 years old now and I think it would be good for her to start school now. She is very smart and will learn more in school," "Do you have some schools in mind?" asked Mr Shawn."Nora was surprised by his question. Most parents prefer choosing schools for their children, why is Lily's situation different?"Snap! Snap! came Mr Shawn's figures and Nora snapped back to reality."I would do a quick search and share what

Derrick sat in the back seat of the Rose Royce. He seems to be lost in his thoughts. The driver looked at him twice from the rear-view mirror. He smiled to see Derrick's calm demeanour. He usually gives off a cold demeanour."School was fun today?" George asked.Derrick said nothing but rather gave him a cold stare and turned to look outside the window. The driver smiled and the ride continued in silence.The Mingle family was rich and powerful. They own the entertainment industry, ten luxurious hotels and five estates. To live in their estates, you must be a top government official or super rich and powerful. Fifteen minutes passed and the car arrived at the Mingle's Villa. Derrick got out of the car, gave the butler a nod and walked straight into the house. Derrick changed his shoes and headed for the stairs leading to his room. Before he could enter his room, his dad called out to him from his study. Derrick opened the door, threw his school bag into his room and went straight in

Lily, upon exiting the coffee shop, ran into someone causing her to spill her coffee and burn her hand in the process. She wanted to lash out at the person for spilling her coffee but she recognized the person to be Derrick. Derrick Mingles, her childhood friend. Without thinking, Lily placed the coffee down on the table next to her and hugged him. The man was taken aback by the lady's sudden hug and was unable to react."Derrick. Derrick, I am so happy to see you again. I miss you so much, really really miss you," Lily expressed happily while hugging the man."What did you say?" came the voice of a lady.Lily moved back from the man to see a woman who appeared to be in her early thirties. She had rather a cold expression on her face. She was wearing a tailor-made glamorous dress. You can tell by just looking, that the fabric used in making the dress is very expensive.

Lily was in a hurry to join her friends to listen to their school band perform but bumped into Derrick by accident who caught her and prevented a fall. The two had their eyes locked on each other for 10 seconds before snapping back to reality.Derrick let go of Lily after she had steadied herself but the two could not stop staring at each other in silence.Lily had mixed feelings of surprise and embarrassment. She smiled awkwardly and lowered her beautiful long eyelashes. Derrick broke the silence."What is your name,""Lily, Lily Shawn," She replied smiling awkwardly.Derrick wanted to ask if they had met before because he was getting the feeling of familiarity seeing her again but he stopped himself before he could ask and ended up rather asking;"What brought you here?""Oh! An old school reunion party," replied Lily.Lily was feeling a mixture of joy and fulfilment within herself. Even though she could not explain why she was feeling that way about him looking at the situation now,
