LOGINLily“Pregnant?” I let out a chuckle, despite the dread curling in the depths of my stomach. “You think I'd get married to a man as spineless as Chaise? Only you would do that kind of thing.”It was a lie. This baby was one I prayed for. I thought if I just gave him a child, he would finally see me but I was just being naive.“Oh so now he’s spinless? Does it hurt that he’s standing up for me?” She smirked. “He hasn’t seen you home in days and he doesn’t even care. Isn't it time you give up?”“I have already given up on him,” I smiled bitterly. “You can go ahead and keep him as much as you like.” Using Ri’s hand for support, I managed to stand on my feet. Rachelle stared closely at me. I almost panicked for a second, thinking she could see through my act. Another wave of dizziness hit me but I tightened my grip on Ri’s hand, refusing to sway. “You're a very terrible liar, Lily. You spent years trying to get Chaise to notice you and even more, trying to win his love. You really expec
LilyWhen the bodyguard started moving, I thought that this might finally be my chance to see them but Rachelle suddenly burst out crying, drawing their attention. I barely caught a glimpse of their face before their backs were turned to me. The two men crouched over her, trying to comfort her as she sobbed. “i don’t really care about what anyone has to say about me. I don’t even care about this stupid store full of bullies but I won’t take anyone talking down on my brothers. Hit me all you want but leave my big brothers out of it! They are the most precious people in my life and I won’t take anyone talking down on them!”I rolled my eyes at the dramatic words. She should have gone for theatre acts instead, I'm sure she would have won many oscars. “Don’t cry, Rachel,” the blond said, reaching gently for her teary face. I could help but notice the Patek Philippe on his wrist. How rich were these people? “You don’t have to fight or cry over us. These people are not worth your tears.”
LilyOur mistake was waiting for her to call her brothers. Just like Rachelle earlier suggested, we should have just called the police and handed them the footage to deal with her. Shortly after the security inevitably threw her out of the building, Ri got a phone call. She excused herself from the rest of us and when to answer the call. I decided to just pay for the items I got and leave. The whole drama had taken way too much time and I had a meeting with my brothers today. Just as the items were being sorted at the counter, some hefty bodyguards stormed into the store. What the…?The lady at the counter hurried over to find out what they wanted but no one offered her an answer. In no time, all the entrances were blocked and the customers inside were completely surrounded.Rachelle appeared with a smug smile, holding the arms of two men. Before I could get a proper look at them, a huge bodyguard appeared in front of me, completely blocking my view. “Which of them bullied you?” a
LilyCall it favouritism or whatever but Dr Reed arranged for an advance to be paid into my account. Granted it was paid training but I assumed I would be paid only after the training was completed as stipulated in the contract. I couldn’t complain because it meant I could change my wardrobe and furnish my little apartment. I got so carried away with the whole hospital tour yesterday that I forgot I scheduled a meeting with my brothers. I felt really bad about rescheduling so I decided to pick out an apology gift for them in the course of shopping. Kristy’s Closet was my go-to store for all kinds of clothes. It wasn't a high end luxury brand or anything but her designs were one of a kind. I was going rack to rack, picking out corporate wear for work when a familiar voice sounded behind me.“Lily! Fancy seeing you here!” Rachelle exclaimed with a sugary smile. My stomach dropped. Of all the times to bump into her, it just had to be here. “Hi,” I said stiffly and turned to leave but
ChaiseMy phone rang before I could grab the papers. It was a call from the hospital. I turned away, swiping the answer button. “Dr Chaise, we need you at the theater right now. One of the emergency trauma patients is crashing.”“What? I just got out minutes ago. Where’s Doctor Nelly?” I demanded. I was stressed out as hell and desperately needed a break. “She hasn't reported for her shift yet and we can’t reach her,” he responded frantically. “We need you please. The patient's deteriorating. The team is already in the OR, but they need another attending surgeon.”I couldn’t just refuse no matter how exhausted I was. i was hoping I would have time for a cold shower at least but I couldn't just risk the life of a patient for my own comfort. I grabbed a jacket from my closet and hurried downstairs. “Sir, the table…”“I have to go to the hospital, Joan. You can pack the food in the freezer, Lily will fix it up when I return,” I told her and headed outside. I could feel my head pound
ChaiseI had just returned from a long day at work with a terrible migraine. My head felt like it was going to split in two and my shoulders were stiff from all the surgeries I carried out today. I tossed my jacket casually, flopping on the couch to catch my breath for a second. With my eyes shut, I stretched my hand out of habit, expecting a glass of freshly squeezed juice, like every other night. My lips pressed tightly when nothing came. My eyes fluttered open, darting to my empty hand. Then it drifted to my jacket still lying on the floor. Usually, Lily would be waiting downstairs for me to take my jacket the minute I stepped in. I always tossed it at her because I didn’t want her using it as an excuse to get close. After putting away my jacket, she would give me a glass of cold freshly squeezed juice. They always helped with my migraines and sometimes I wondered if she secretly put painkillers in them, but again, I didn’t want her to get too comfortable in a life she stole fro
