Rachelle“Uggghhh! That bitch!” I gritted, falling into my bed. Every single time things seem to go my way, she just shows up to ruin everything!Didn't she say was leaving him? Why the hell did she come back with him? I had to spend a lot of money ordering food, just because I wanted to sell the fact that I was cooking for him. I wanted to show him that I was considerate enough to make time to cook for him while his wife was busy throwing a tantrum. Only for that woman to show up with his grandmother. Urgghh! That witch! She was one of the reasons I couldn’t get back with Chaise as quickly as I hoped to. Even after I went through the trouble of forging my signature and pretending to be the genius researcher that broke grounds in the medical world, she still wouldn’t cast out that nobody. Instead, she defended her. The more I thought about it, the angrier I felt. That old hag would never let me have my way unless I got rid of her. The buzzing of my phone snapped me out of my thoug

Chaise“How is she?” I asked doctor Crane. “Were you able to save her?”“She’s stable now. Good thing you brought her at the time you did. We were able to stop the bleeding in time. Any minute later, she could have died.”My heavy chest finally relaxed and I felt like I could breathe. I wasn't allowed to treat her since we had deep emotional attachments. I have been on edge since last night and even took a day off because I couldn’t attend to anyone like this.I regretted not texting her back or returning any of her calls. I did not appreciate calls while I was at work. For the longest time, Lily had put up with it. Not once did she complain. If there was something she wanted, she always communicated with Ralph. But with Rachelle, it was totally different. She was always in trouble so I had to personally see to her calls. She suffered severe depression and needed lots of emotional support. I didn’t think just ignoring her call once would push her into attempting suicide. Was this ho

Lily“This woman came here with a fake ticket to cause trouble. She's trying to make everyone believe that she’s a Nominee but I have known her practically all my life and I can boldly tell you that she knows nothing about medicine!” Rachelle said loudly, for everyone gathering around to hear. I rolled my eyes, one minute, she said I couldn’t afford the ticket, then she said I haven't practiced since graduation and now, I knew nothing about medicine? Can someone tell this woman to pick a struggle?The security guard turned to me. “May I see your ticket, ma’am?”I shrugged and stretched the ticket to him. Everyone waited, watching him expectantly. Rachelle remained smug, even though she was lying, she was pretty confident that I couldn’t afford a ticket. “I'm sorry for the trouble Miss Lily, this way please,” he said suddenly, catching her off-guard. Her smile immediately faded. “What?” She blurted, inserting herself between me and the guard. “Why are you letting her in? She’s clea

LilyPigs must be flying in the sky somewhere. There was no way, absolutely no way, Chaise just defended me. That too against Rachelle. Shouldn't he be supporting her? Scolding me and telling me to be more reasonable like her?So what the hell just happened?Rachelle had the same shock on her face. I bet she was counting on him taking her side. It felt good to see her look stupid.Refusing to give up, she scooted closer to Chaise, acting like she wanted to talk to him privately, when she in fact made sure to raise her voice so everyone would hear. “You don't have to defend her, Chaise. Spoiling her will not do you any good. It will only push her to take advantage of you,” she said.Spoiling me?I was tempted to correct her right there and then but I controlled myself. I refuse to stoop to her level.“What is wrong with you? Have you forgotten you are in a public space?” Chaise retorted. Rachelle blinked. “This is an international event, not a panel to discuss my marital affairs.” I

Chapter Twenty-NineLilyHer face went beet red upon hearing those words. She turned towards Chaise who was staring expectantly at her. Seeing she couldn't just deny it or she would look bad in front of him, the silly woman decided to keep up with the lies. “And who says I'm not?” She shot back. My lips twitched in amusement as murmurs echoed all around us. The host looked even more confused now.“Everyone, I assure you that I am not just making baseless accusations. I believe none of us would sit back and watch an impostor claim our hard-work,” her voice dropped into an emotional tone. “I laboured hard, researched day and night, I had to take multiple trips to the countryside, just to broaden my knowledge on how to help people…”Her voice cracked with heavy emotion so she paused for a second to take deep breaths. “You can imagine my shock to see a work I poured my heart into being tagged to someone else. I came here tonight as a guest, completely unaware that I was about to watch
