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 drying her hair. She turned off the dryer when the dressing table vibrated with a notification from her phone. She took a quick glance and read the sender's name, "Black Dragon" She quickly placed the dryer down and unlocked the phone to read the message.
"You idiot, she was not meant to die. Better fix this before things get out of hand"
Abigail quickly replied "Stop with the name-calling, I did exactly what you told me. How is it my fault the outcome" Sent was the message Abigail read on her screen.
She waited for a reply. 2 minutes passed, 3 minutes, and 5 minutes and Abigail started typing another message when a message came in from Black Dragon
"Watch your words idiot, or shall I remind you of who I am". Abigail froze, images of a dark room and a man with bloodshot eyes hissing like a beast flashed before her eyes. She shut her eyes pushing the memories away. She sent another message
"No need to remind me of who you are. I have not forgotten, Satan!" She quickly sent another message "What now, she is really gone forever" Her phone buzzed with another message from Black Dragon,
"I know, move to the next plan and don't mess it up again". Abigail read the last sentence again,
"Don't mess it up again." She deleted all the messages and tossed the phone to the bed furiously.
"A little while longer, Satan". She thought "Just a little while longer"
She finished drying her hair and applying some cream to her skin. She opened her wardrobe and searched through her clothing and picked up a long red velvet dress with a split on the slide and a very low back. She smiled and put the dress on.
She put on some light makeup and admired herself in the mirror. Abigail has an alluring charm. The dress showed her perfect curves and made her more attractive. Satisfied with herself she stepped out of her room and went downstairs to the dining area. She found Mr Shawn and the baby sitting in a rocking chair. Mr Shawn was feeding the baby.
"Going somewhere?" asked Mr Shawn
"Yeah, but looking at this sorry sight, I just lost interest," replied Abigail as she walked towards Mr Shawn and took the baby from his hands.
"What are you doing," asked Mr Shawn.
"Helping" replied Abigail. "I am your wife too, forgotten" she added
Mr Shawn sighed and allowed Abigail to take the child from him.
"So, what is her name," asked Abigail.
Mr Shawn replied, "Lily, Lily Shawn" he shut his eyes and stopped the tears threatening to fall.
"Wow, you named her after her mother? tsk tsk"
Mr Shawn shot her a look and stared furiously at her and said between gritted teeth,
"You have a problem with that" "
No, I don't, just asking," she said nonchalantly.
She took the baby upstairs and laid her in the cradle and gently closed the door behind her. She came back to the dining area with a bottle of wine in hand.
"Here, let's drink" she suggested
"I don't have a reason to drink" blurted Mr Shawn.
"Well, I do, she was my cousin. You think I don't miss her? or you think I wished her dead?" Tears started falling from her eyes.
She poured a drink into the glass and handed it over to Mr Shawn "Here"
Mr Shawn stared at the glass of drink and took the bottle from her
"I don't trust you," he said and drank from the bottle."
She smiled inwardly and put on a pitiful face as if she had been wronged. She took a seat next to him. In one shot, she poured the drink in the glass down her throat. Mr Shawn gave her a look and stared at the bottle he was holding. His hands went numb and the bottle fell from his hand. Before Abigail could react a piece of glass gave her a cut on the leg.
"You idiot, there is nothing in the drink," Shouted Abigail.
She got up angrily and was about to leave when she slipped and fell butt-first to the ground due to the wet floor from the wine. She yelled in pain. Mr Shawn quickly got up realizing what was happening in an attempt to help her but she pushed his hands away before he could touch her.
"Get away from me" She yelled and crawled out of the dining room.
Mr Shawn saw the thrill of blood on the floor following her and quickly went for the first aid kit. Abigail went into her room and took off her clothes and saw a cut on the back of her thigh with a glass still stuck in it. She tried to remove the glass but it hurt so bad. Mr Shawn barged into the room with the first aid kit. Upon seeing Abigail in that sorry state, his heart softens and he quickly walked up to her. He gently removed the piece of glass from her skin and cleaned the affected area, applied some medicine to it and covered the wound with a plaster.
He realized Abigail was just wearing a panty after he was done taking care of her wound. She quickly covered her chest realizing the situation herself. Mr Shawn had his eyes fixed on her unable to stop looking at the beauty in front of him.......
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
The car finally arrives at the school. Nora and Lily got down and the driver found a place to park. Nora walked into the receiving area. They went through the necessary process and Nora was glad she came with Lily. Finally, it was time for Nora to leave and Lily to be sent to her new class.Lily felt very sad looking at Nora leave but she didn't cry. The teacher held her little hands and walked her to her class. She tried to cheer Lily up by asking a few questions, but Lily was either quiet or would open and close her mouth like a goldfish.The teacher finally arrived at Lily's classroom and she handed her over to the class teacher. Lily was sent inside. She saw a lot of other children. They were all looking at her."Lily, this is your new class. They are all your new friends" said the teacher smiling.Lily had no expression on her face as she stared blankly at them. The teacher led her to sit with the children."I am Kate," said a little girl once Lily was sitting down comfortably."
Derrick sat in the back seat of the Rose Royce. He seems to be lost in his own thoughts. The driver looked at him twice from the rear-view mirror. He smiled to see Derrick's calm demeanour. He was usually giving off a very cold demeanour.George asked, "School was fun today?"Derrick said nothing but rather gave him a cold stare and turned to look outside the window. The driver smiled and the ride continued in silence.The Mingle family is extraordinarily rich and powerful. They own the entertainment industry, ten luxurious hotels and five Estates. For anyone to leave in any of their Estates you must be a top government official or extraordinarily rich and powerful. Fifteen minutes passed and the car arrived at the villa. Derrick got out of the car, gave the butler a nod and walked straight into the house. Derrick changed his shoes and headed for the stairs leading to his room. Before he could enter his room, his dad called out to him from his study. Derrick opened the door and thre
In a city called Villa Milpa Alta, a borough in Mexico City which lies in the southeast corner of the nation's capital, bordering the State of Mexico and Morelos. It is the second-largest and most rural of all the boroughs with the lowest population. "Yes, when is she arriving," the man on the call asked."Okay, that is no problem at all. You just need to give me my usual" He said laughing sarcastically.He put the receiver back on the phone. Just then the door opened and the cold wind blew in. Standing at the door was a woman in a black chevron maxi puffer coat. She had her face covered with a black scarf and wore sunglasses. She walked into the inn and politely gave the man a gentle nod in greeting. She placed a gold card with a tiger symbol on the counter. The man looked at it and said to the woman."Come with me." The man used the back door of the inn and the lady followed him. At Shawn's residence, Lily was happy about her newfound friends, especially Derrick. She enjoys going
Lily, upon exiting the coffee shop, runs into someone causing her to spill her coffee and burn her hand in the process. She wanted to lash out at the person for spilling her coffee but she recognized the person to be Derrick, Derrick Mingles her childhood friend. Without thinking, Lily placed the coffee down on the table next to her and hugged him. The man was taken aback by the lady's sudden hug and was unable to react. "Derrick, Derrick, I am so happy to see you again. I miss you so much, really really miss you" Lily said in one breath happily while hugging the man. "What did you say?" came the voice of a lady. Lily moved back from the man to see a woman who appears to be in her early thirties. She had rather a cold expression on her face. She was wearing a tailor-made glamorous dress. You can tell by just looking, that the fabric used in making the dress is very expensive. The dress was long and flowy with a split side. With one leg forward and hands akimbo she revealed a rather
The first thing Nora noticed about Lily when she walked to the kitchen was the red patch on her hand. Surprised she asked"What happened to your hand""Huh! O, that, just a little accident" replied Lily.She was not ready to share the details of what led to the burn on her hand. Nora who was very concerned drew closer to Lily to inspect her hand."Don't worry Aunty Nora, I just spilt coffee on my hand accidentally?" said Lily trying to calm Nora down with the excuse it was nothing."What happened, how did you spill the coffee to sustain such a serious burn" enquired Nora."Errrrr, I missed my step and spilt the coffee? coffee," Lily said clearing her throat."Yes, does what happened" she lied.Nora shot her a look, with a calm expression on her face and a much more relaxed posture she asked"Interesting. Have you become so smart now you think you can lie to me?" asked Nora"Huh, no no, aunty Nora" she stammered"Okay then, tell me, what happened exactly," asked Nora getting the first
Lily was in a hurry to join her friends to listen to their school band perform but bump into Derrick by accident who caught her and prevented a fall. The two had their eyes locked on each other for 10 seconds before snapping back to reality.Derrick let go of Lily after she had steadied herself but the two could not stop staring at each other in silence.Lily had a mixed feelings of surprise and embarrassment. She smiled awkwardly and lowered her beautiful long eyelashes. Derrick broke the silence"What is your name""Lily, Lily Shawn" She replied smiling awkwardly.Derrick wanted to ask if they have met before because he was getting the feeling of familiarity seeing her again but he stopped himself before he could ask and ended up rather asking"What brought you here""Oh!, an old school reunion party" replied Lily.Lily was feeling a mixture of joy and fulfilment within herself. Even though she could not explain why she was feeling that way about him looking at the situation now, sh
