Lily was stupefied at the outcome of the test result she had come to the hospital to do. It's been two weeks that she had left Drake Bell's villa, she had been sleeping in the streets and had had it very rough but she would rather become a beggar than return to Drake Bell's villa.
Wasn't her pregnancy aborted? How come the outcome of the test she did stated that she was pregnant? She didn't have intercourse with anyone after leaving Drake Bell's villa so how then did she get pregnant? Or was the pregnancy not aborted? Then, at the hospital, when the abortion was about to take place, she suddenly went unconscious and only woke up to see blood on her laps.
Well, the most important thing here is that she's pregnant. This time, she will protect her baby with her life. Her utterly depressed mind lightened up, it was as if she just saw a new ray of hope to hold onto. The past two weeks had been hell for her as she had been barely surviving alone.
"Baby, thank you for staying alive. Mommy will protect you with her life this time," she mumbled as she rubbed her belly, then she walked out of the hospital.
If her belly start to protude here in New York, anyone related to her ex husband could see her and then, her ex husband may want to hurt her baby again, out of fear, she took the next available train and went to another city.
Six years later, Lily returned back to New York alongside two beautiful kids. This time, she was now a top and popular designer. She had taken up her passion for design in the city that she travelled to years ago and in a space of six years, her skill had made her rose to the top.
She had come back to the city cause the company she works for, Yenny Designs had sent her to represent them in the joint partnership forming between them and the biggest engineering company in New York, Bell's LTD.
Lily knew that the company she would be working with here was for her ex husband, only that her ex husband, Drake Bell had no idea that the top designer his company would be working with was his ex wife. How can she take revenge on how her ex husband tried to kill her baby in the past if she didn't get close to him? Getting to work with him would definitely give her the chance to enact her revenge of ruining him.
Although her twin survived the abortion, she felt like it was the doctor's doing, perhaps, the doctor's conscience couldn't let him kill her innocent babies. But the fact that Drake Bell didn't mind killing her kids means he deserves to experience an intense pain and she will definitely make it happen.
"Mommy has finished cooking, come and eat," Lily said and lead her kids right inside the room.
Lily ate with her beautiful kids and the following morning, after dropping her kids off at school, she drove over to where Bell's LTD company was located. It was a skyscraper with tens of floors. Lily had already spoken to the Bell's LTD agent and had told them she would be coming for her first meeting today.
She soon stepped down from her beautiful Mercedes AMG, dressed adorably and astonishingly, she placed a call across to the agent to notify them she was around. The agent immediately promised to come and receive her.
Apparently, everyone in Bell's LTD company had all been anticipating to see this popular designer that was coming to partner with their company. There had been many rumors about her. No one in New York suspect that this popular designer was Lily, since Lily used a nickname, Dark Wealth.
As Lily approached the entrance of the skyscraper, a woman and two tall men in suits walked towards her. On looking clearly, she realized that this woman was Amelia, Drake Bell's childhood sweetheart. She was dressed corporately and looked good.
Amelia paused on seeing Lily, it's been many years that Lily dissapeared from New York, she didn't expect for her to suddenly appear out of nowhere. Although they didn't have any relationship, they both recognized eachother.
"Lily, it's been a long time. How are you doing?" Amelia asked with a faint smile on her lips.
"I'm good, as you can see. Are you the one here to receive me?" Lily asked. She can already guess that Amelia was the agent she had been speaking with on phone. "Let's not waste time, lead me quick to where the meeting will be held." Lily spoke elegantly.
However, Amelia scoffed. She couldn't deny the fact that Lily was dressed gorgeously and looked great but still, she didn't believe Lily could be the top designer she had been anticipating to meet.
"Lily, I can't remember having an appointment with you. I'm actually here to receive miss Dark Wealth, the popular designer that will be working with us here, you must have heard about her, I guess." Amelia said, "so sorry to dissapoint you but I won't stoop so low to receive you." Amelia said and walked proudly away from her alongside the two men behind her.
Lily smirked and walked out of the building, as soon as she got to the underground garage where her car was parked, her phone rang. Seeing that it was the agent, Amelia, she answered.
"Miss Dark Wealth, I'm already waiting for you outside the building but I can't see you," Amelia said.
"I already came but you didn't honor me, I'll be here same time tomorrow but if you treat me the same way you treat me today then I will have to cancel the partnership that's about to subsists between our company and yours and put all the blame on you," Lily said and hung up.
Lily knew that Amelia must be wondering if she was actually the popular 'miss dark Wealth," that she had been expecting, She soon drove away from the company and branched at the mall to get her children some groceries. This was a new city and she was still trying to set up her home. She didn't have much groceries at home.
She soon stepped inside the mall and while shopping, she suddenly heard loud noises coming from outside. Discerning the type of noises that suddenly erupted outside, she could tell that a prominent figure had come to the mall. Afterall, the mall was a super big mall so it's normal for prominent and powerful people to patronize this place.
Lisa ignored and continued shopping, when she was done, she pushed her cart over to the cashier and after all the stuffs she bought were calculated, the cashier stated the total amount of all she bought then she brought her card out but as she was about to stretch it to the cashier, a deep voice spoke from behind, "I'll pay."
Lily paused, she was stunned. Why would anyone want to pay her bill. She flipped her head to the back and was shocked to see...Drake Bell. He was dressed in deep black suits that fits his slim body perfectly.
He had a face that was totally devoid of emotion, Lily soon realized that everyone seemed to have departed from the mall. Apparently, they evacuated everyone from the mall just so one man could shop. Is this how power works? Lily wondered.
"Mr. Drake Bell, thanks for the offer but I'll pay myself," Lily said, intentionally addressing him as though they were never into a relationship.
"You can pick even more stuffs and I'll foot the bill," Drake Bell insisted.
Lily ignored him and turned to the cashier then stretched her card to her, "please take and withdraw the amount of the groceries I purchased." However, the cashier had her eyes on Drake Bell, she was scared to receive the card from Lily.
"Miss Lily, kindly let me pay." Drake Bell restated.
"No!" Lily screamed angrily. She had been trying to contain her anger all these while but he hates that he was trying to play nice in public, when infact, he's worse than a devil. He was on a mission to ruthlessly kill her twin many years ago and here he was, acting all nice.
"Let her pay," Drake Bell succumbed and took steps back.
In a jiffy, Lily made payment and carried her stuffs out of the mall, intentionally ignoring Drake Bell who was still inside the mall.
On getting inside her car, she slammed her two hands on the steering, "Drake Bell, you may be powerful...so powerful but I'll show you that I can appear fragile but I can't be mess with."
She started her car and drove away roughly. Whereas, Drake Bell stood upstairs in the mall, watching through the transparent glassy window as Lily got inside her car, as she drove away, he commanded. "Find out where she lives."
His two assistants that stood closer to him responded at once. "Okay, sir."
The following day, at Bell's LTD executive room 1, there sat Amelia and some chief officers of the company, Lily was also among. They were all awaiting the presence of the CEO, Drake Bell. Amelia had now confirmed that Lily was actually the top designer who bears Dark Wealth. She was shocked and embarrassed to find out. How did Drake Bell's ex wife end up becoming a top designer? Amelia was troubled about Lily's sudden return. The fact that she may be working here in Bell's LTD even troubled her the more. Won't working here make Lily get close to Drake Bell? She had worked hard all these years just to win the heart of Drake Bell but Drake barely gives her attention. He only regarded her as his childhood sweetheart but nothing more. Amelia hoped that since there was no woman around Drake Bell, she could still win his heart someday but with the sudden presence of Lily, her hopes were beginning to fade. Soon, Drake Bell and his two assistants, Liam and Sarah followed him inside the ex
Lily sat before Mila at one of the most popular restaurant in town. Apparently, she had been invited here by Mila and cause of Mila's role in her life, she couldn't deny the invite. Mila was the mathron in the orphanage home she grew up from. Mila gave her special treatment and she never understood why until she left the orphanage. After foods and wine had been served at the table, Mila said to her, "Lily, remember how good I was to you those days at the orphanage home?""I remember, mama." Lily answered, wondering what the purpose of this meeting was. "My dear, I need you leave New York and go back to the city you once were." She quickly added, "of course I understand that you are here to represent Yenny Designs, but I sense that you are in danger here. I won't tell you my source, but trust me. It's safer for you to be out of New York," she said with a broad and weird smile. Lily thought about her words and said, "I don't see any reason why anyone would be after my life? I can't r
Lily had blocked Drake Bell's line for so many years but now, he had to unblock him so she can ask if he was the one who sent those who went to pick up her kids. She couldn't think of anyone who would have suddenly taken her children and claimed them as his other than Drake Bell. But last she remembered, she never told Drake Bell that she had babies. How could he possibly find out she has babies? She would have called the cops but it was better to confirm if Drake Bell was the one behind this or not. After unblocking Drake Bell's contact, she placed a call across to him. After it rang for a few seconds, the call got answered. She calmed her anxious self and breathed in deeply, "hi." She greeted as if everything is calm. "You must be calling about the kids, right? They are with me, in my house." Then he hung the call up. Lily gritted her teeth in anger, clenching her fist hard on the steering. She started the ignition of the car, reversed roughly and drove straight to Drake Bell's
"So can I get to see my kids now?" Lily asked. She was very worried about the whereabout of her kids. She couldn't help but wonder what state they would be wherever they are. Her twin were found of being around her and had grown used to her. She felt like crying but she wouldn't dare to cry before Drake Bell. "The kids are mine too now," He stood and added, "but I'll take you to them. Follow me." Lily wanted to ask if he would stop her from taking the kids with her but she decided to suspend the question. Her most important want right now is to see her kids. She followed him outside and was surprised to see him entering his car. He then gestured for her to get in. Lily got inside the car swiftly and while he drove, she couldn't help but ask, "I hope my kids are safe where they are?" He glanced at her and spoke, "I was dumb not to realize how pretty you are when we were married." There was a hint of regret in his voice. Oh! Now he realizes how beautiful she is. She looked away fro
"Dad?" Jayden asked surprisingly. For years, the twin had been asking their mom about their father but Lily had always said their father abandoned her when she was pregnant and that she had no idea where their father was anymore. Jayden turned to look at Lily as if asking if what Drake Bell said was true. This is the truth and there was no need denying it, so Lily nodded. Although he didn't like for the kids to ever meet Drake Bell but fate already made this happen. Jayden and Isabella looked at Drake Bell with a displeased look. The kids had bore grudges against their dad a long time ago after learning what he did to their mom. Jayden walked up to Isabella and held her hand, "mom, let's leave this place quick. I'm scared he may hurt us all again." Hearing Jayden say this aches Drake Bell's heart, he sensed at once that Lily must have definitely told them something ill about their father. Now he has to work hard to redeem his image before his kids. "I won't hurt you." Drake Bell
"It's cold, my children can't be stranded here," he said and made a gesture. At once, a Mercedes Maybach was driven towards them. Indeed, it was so cold and standing right there arguing with him might make her children got sick plus her children were still sleepy. Soon, Lily and the kids entered alongside Drake Bell. Took about fifteen minutes before they got to Drake Bell's villa. Drake Bell led the mother and the two kids inside, the old butler of the villa was quick enough to lead the children to a more comfortable room where they could sleep. The children wouldn't sleep of course without the presence of Lily. After the children had fallen asleep, Lily walked out of the room and stormed angrily to Drake Bell's room. She knocked repeatedly but didn't get an answer. She was so angry and wanted to challenge him as to why he would dare to stop her. She hated the fact that he was stalking her. "Mrs. Bell," someone suddenly called from behind and she turned at once. Seeing the old bu
On a Monday morning, Lily watched as her kids got taken away in a sport car with a police escort trailing after the sport car. Now everyone in her children's school would know that her children are for a billionaire once they see them . Not like she care though but she didn't want the teachers of her children to give them any special treatment just because they think they are children of some powerful people.Lily went back inside to finish dressing in a bit to start going to work. Once she was done, she walked elegantly out of her room. Her room was upstairs and there was a small buglary that serves as a protector before the corridor. She began to walk through the corridor, just when she was about getting to the stairs that leads down to the living room, she saw someone rush towards her."You!" The woman screamed. "Don't even think of seducing my son. It's advisable to focus strictly on the business going on between you two. I already have someone he's going to marry."Lily was unawa
Drake Bell spent some time with his mother comforting her after which he was driven to Bell's LTD company. On getting to his company, he immediately sent for Lily who was busy as at the time.Once she appeared, Drake Bell stood in anger, "what came upon you that made you pushed my mother? What offence has she commited to you?""I didn't push her. She was rough-handling the collars of my cloth because she believed the lies of Amelia. Amelia had told her we were once married and that you had to broke up with me cause I was having affairs with men. She went further to say that I have now come back to your life again with a purpose to ruin it to which your mom believed." Lily explained seriously, "I only took off her hands carefully from my cloth, I had no idea how she fell."Drake Bell walked over to the front of the table and leaned his butt on it, crossing his two legs and looking intently at her. "My mum had suffered a lot but you have just increased her suffering. She had now been co
