Derek's POV The terrible ringing of my phone made me look away from the CCTV screen at the VIP section of my club. It was one of the most expensive clubs in the city and whenever I get reports of someone sniffing around my club or acting suspicious, I check the CCTV for confirmation before I command for him to be brought to me. When it comes to my club, I only care about two things, Money and the damn reputation.   My phone started ringing the second time.   I wanted to ignore it thinking it was my mother but I stopped when I saw it was my private detective. The same one I hired to tiptoe around the ones surrounding me and give me the necessary information that's important. It might sound like I’m stalking them but no, I'm just making sure everything is in its damn place.   "Talk to me," I said loudly into the phone, trying to beat the sound of the music with my loud voice. "Big news

Derek's POV "This is highly ridiculous, mother. There's no way that I'm agreeing to this bullshit" I practically yelled at the top of my voice.   After throwing the document in my face, I realized my signature was truly on the paper and concluded that my mother had set me up with a hot, sexy vixen just to make me get married to the girl she had come with.    I quickly pushed the thoughts of the rendezvous night I had with the girl and faced the matter at hand.   We were currently sitting in my living room while the girl who came with her was sitting in the dining area. I didn't even spare her another look after she walked in with my mother.    "Well! Your signature says otherwise" My mother replied.   "I didn't sign this mother, you blackmailed me, and you set me up with that witch" I yelled. "Oh my God, Derek, you dare accuse your mothe

Lily's POV The moment Mrs. Miller walked out of the house, I was left with the hulk of a man, Mr. Miller. He turned to look at me and I didn't fail to recognize the disgust and hatred that was in those gorgeous green eyes of his.    I'd grown to know that look and it never left me even if I closed my eyes at night to sleep.    I quickly turned away, afraid to be burnt to ashes by his hot stares. I looked down at the skirt I was wearing, I quickly started playing with it, not ready to look up or begin a conversation with this huge man.    When Mrs. Miller had told me she wanted to get me married to her son, I thought he would be a different person entirely, I never knew he would be this angry and handsome at the same time.   "What was the negotiation you had with my mother?" He asked.   His voice was loud, too loud to believe I was just righ

Derek"Somebody looks as grumpy as hell," Sebastian commented as he walked into his office that evening. Sebastian was my childhood friend, we've been friends for more than eight years, and literally, we've been through childhood, puberty, and adolescence together. He was the only person who could tolerate me for who I was. "What are you doing in my office by this time of the day?" Sebastian asked once he realized no response was coming from Derek."Because I have the key," I replied. He raised an eyebrow and walked close to me. He opened his palm. "My key?" I moved away from him. "Not in a million years will I return it. I just came here to cool off, I didn't know you would come around,"  He frowned. "I always knew someone was using my office behind my back and I'm glad it's you by the way," He smiled."Why are you here?" I asked him.&n

Lily's POV "Can you move away from me?" Derek asked. He was angry, his jaws clenched as he pushed me away from him. His shirt was moist with my tears at the spot where I'd held him.   I don't know why I do that because I don't normally do that. I hated being in close proximity with people.    "Sorry, sorry about that, I don't want to, I didn't know.. I don't really," I stuttered, too scared to process what I wanted to say.    "Can you just shut up for five seconds?" He yelled. I shivered at the intensity of his words.  "Sorry,"    "Stop saying sorry, I don't want to hear that motherfucking word from your mouth," He groaned and walked away from me.   It took me a minute to settle down and control my emotions but still, few tears leaked out of my face. I felt strangulated, tired and weak.    I watched as

Lily’s POV“Good morning, Lily right?” A beautiful brunette asked as she waltzed into Derek’s home like she owned the place. She didn’t act like a visitor and that made me wonder who she was. She didn’t bother to knock as well, she just walked in.“Yes,” I replied, not sure if I should be replying or asking her who she was. Derek was currently in his room after throwing an unnecessary tantrum because his mother asked him to change the lights in his house. After calling me crazy, he barged out of the house, came back a few minutes later, and hadn’t come out of his room yet. “I’m Arianna, Derek’s cousin,” She finally introduced herself and I nodded.“I’m lily,” I informed her. She immediately smiled at me, telling me she knew who I was and that it was Mrs. Miller who sent her to the house. “Where’s D

Derek’s POVIt was Monday morning and for the first time, I was doing the unexpected. I drove to my dad’s office based on the stupid contract agreement that I signed foolishly. If Henry and Sebastian hear about this, they won’t let it go until they grill me till I’m burnt.   “Good morning dad,” I entered his office unannounced. He looked up from his table and pointed towards the door, “Go back to the door and knock like a responsible human,” He demanded.   I glared at him before smirking and walking outside his office. I knocked twice and he asked me to come in. “Good morning, son. When your mother told me you’ll be at the office today, I was surprised. What’s going on? Did your nightclubs business fold up,” I sat down opposite him after drawing out the chair. “I’m a competent businessman, my clubs can never fold up. I built it up with nobody’s help, trust me, I know how to handle myself,” I informed h

LILY’S POV After the first time, I tried to cook for Derek and he yelled at my face, I stopped trying to please him. It was evident that he’s a naturally angry man and he gets angry for a living. If he’s to get paid for the number of times he got angry since I came here, he would probably own two houses on this street and not one. It was Saturday night and just like Friday night, Derek had left the house around 6 in the evening, the only difference was his dressing, he dressed casually on Friday but today, he dressed like he had an event he would be attending.   I could finally turn the lights on as I wasn’t sensitive to these types of lights. I sat on the couch with a bowl of popcorn to watch one of my favorite shows. It was a marathon night by the way. I was on the third episode when my phone started ringing. I rushed towards the dining area where the phone was and saw it was Mrs. Miller.

Derek’s POV “What’s up with you, Derek?” Henry Salvatore, my second best friend asked. He’s probably my favorite person after Sebastian but there are times when I want to just strangle him and today is one of those days.“You can’t just barge into my office to ask me a stupid question, Henry. Courtesy demand you knock,” I spat. I was angry, really angry. I’ve been avoiding my parents since Saturday night because I know what they wanted to say. I’d attended Lucas’ welcome back party with Sebastian and Henry with the intention of having a good time without any troubles and leaving the party if possible, without having a confrontation with Lucas but that never happened because trouble seems to follow me everywhere I go. Heck! It probably put a tracker on me. “Since when did we start being so official?” he asked. I didn’t give him

Derek’s POV ‘God, please, don’t tell me she’s waiting for me,’ I mumbled under my breath as I walked down the stairs the next morning to find Lily waiting for me. She was sitting with her back facing me on one of the chairs in the dining area. I didn’t get the chance to tell her I wouldn’t be taking her to college this morning because, by the time I returned last night, she was already sleeping. I groaned as I took every step closer to her. I might have stupidly signed up for marriage but babysitting is not something I’m up for. I fucking hate responsibilities. She stood up and turned to face me as I walked closer to her. She was putting on a cute outfit. I still don’t know how but she looked a little different.“Mrs. Miller told me you’ll drop me off at school today,” She informed me about my most hated duty.&
