"Yep, I kept you away from Lily because he was still gloomy about her but he started taking things to the next level with Isabel, I decided to let you two be," Luis replied"Does your wife know?" he enquired "No, when I found Derrick, I sent Isabel there to monitor him. She got herself employed in his new company, Armani or something, some weird name, I don't know how he comes up with company names. Anyway, she got close to him and he found solace in her. She yielded so I let them be," he explained "So Derrick doesn't know," Derry said"No, he doesn't. Isabel is a CID. She is in love with Derrick now and she will come clean after our operation. She is a strong woman; she can handle rejection if things don't go well. I am sure by now Derrick, wait let me show you. This is an invasion of privacy but I have to test my butterflies," Luis said "but pretend you didn't know," he added and he brought up a screen and Derrick could be seen lying on his bed hugging a lady's dress"Is that a l
Luis, knowing what was going to happen, had already taken the first flight to Washington to go defend Derrick. Arriving at Washington Central police station, Derrick saw on the TV screen what had transpired the night before, while he was in bed hugging Lily's dress. He was shocked to see what was showing on the screen. "So that is why he got arrested?" he thought as he was sent to the withholding cell. He knew his father can do the unthinkable like when he killed his friend and made him lose his memory but that was a long time ago. He thought he had changed."Drug and weapon trafficking?" he thought "When did he start doing such business?" he continued in his thought "But why? As the head of Homeland Security, he earned good money, so why will he do this?" he thought, "or someone set him up" "Lucky you. Your lawyer is already here," came the voice of the officer interrupting Derrick's thought. He got up and moved closer to the bar and staring at the police officer sternly he sai
He knew Luis would not just make such accusations, because he would dig thoroughly for the evidence. So, his father was the reason he couldn't be with Lily, the woman he loved.Derrick lowered his head, disappointed. He did not know how to react to the news he had just received. It was his father all along. All the problems they went through were because of his father. Technically, Lily never had a moment of peace because of him. He recalled what Lily had said about having months of peace since he was out of her life. She was right after all. "When did you find out?" he directed his question to Luis"Err, things become clearer the day you left Florida. I had always had my suspicion though," replied Luis"Why didn't you say something to me?" he queried "Would you have believed me then without the undeniable evidence?" Luis asked advancing towards himDerrick went silent and Luis patted him on the shoulder"I am truly sorry about your father. I wish he didn't do what he did," he cons
"No, he is gone as in, he committed suicide yesterday," replied LuisDerrick went silent and lowered his head."I was informed yesterday but I knew you were out on a date and I didn't want to spoil your evening with such news," Luis added and Derrick just nodded "I will be returning to Florida, later today, just let me know if you need anything," Luis said and got up to leaveDerrick got up and escorted him to the door without saying anything but just nodding to whatever Luis said. He closed the door after Luis had left and out of anger punched the wall so hard, he got injured in the process. As if he could not feel the pain, he gave the wall another punch. He turned and pressed his back to the wall and sank to the ground. Luis went to his car and called Isabel."Hello Isabel, are you busy?" he asked "No, what's up?" replied Isabel "Kindly come over to Derrick's, he is not alright. I just told him about his father," replied Luis "Okay, I will be there in 10 minutes," she replied
It was 6 am in the morning and the hospital was already busy with medical practitioners moving up and down the hall. Mr Shawn carried a worried expression on his face, pacing up and down the hall. Any medical practitioner he tried to approach avoided him like he was some kind of a plague. "What is going on?" he thought to himself, "why are they not saying anything"Six hours earlier, Mr and Mrs Shawn were watching a late-night movie with Mrs Shawn lying in the arms of Mr Shawn who was running his hands through her hair. There was a knock on the door."Was that a knock, I heard?" asked Mrs Shawn.The knock came louder than before."Yeah, it is, but who could be visiting at this hour of the night," asked Mr Shawn. "My love, let me check""Don't, it's late," said Mrs Shawn."Scared again? (He kissed her on the forehead and got up to leave). It's nothing, you will see." he saidMr Shawn opens the door and was shocked to see who it was. Before he could say something Mrs Shawn walked to t
At the graveyard, Mr Shawn held the little baby in one arm and a flower in the other hand looking at Mrs Shawn's grave."Forgive me, my love, forgive me, for all the pain I have caused you," he apologized and looked at 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 places the flower onto the grave and read the inscription on the gravestone 'Mrs. Lily Shawn, 5th June 1994 - 7th March 2021.'"She was still young, very young," He thought and left the graveyard.He looked at the baby sleeping in his arms while walking toward his parked car. He fastened the sleeping baby to the back of the seat. Ensuring she was ok. He went around the car to the driver's side, took one last glance in the direction of the graveyard 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 the drawer and started
Mr Shawn snapped back to reality and apologized immediately. He hesitated before making his way to the door. Abigail got up and held his hands before he could leave. Mr Shawn paused unsure of what to do. His mind went blank. Abigail moved closer and wrapped her hands around his waist and he froze. She placed her head on his back and her hand rubbed his chest region. Mr Shawn was struggling in his mind to break free from her caressing. Abigail whispered into his ears from behind him "I want you, Adam""Dammit (cursed Mr Shawn) what is she doing," he thought.He grabbed her hands and stopped her from touching him but before he could break free, Abigail quickly stood in front of him and hugged him"Please, don't go".He tried to push her away but she whimpered causing him to quickly hold her by the waist thinking his forced push may have caused her to wound her leg again. She seized the opportunity and kissed him on his lips. He couldn't hold back anymore as he carried her to bed. Took
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 said "Sir, Lily is 5 years 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 I find with you," said Nora."No need, get a
