18. You Always Come Through For Me
“I’m so sorry for my clumsiness, sir. I’ll handle it.”
However, Alexander didn’t say any word.
Lily went out and came back with one of the cleaners of the company, in a jiffy, the office was clean and neat again.
Standing before him, Lily apologized, “I’m so sorry, sir.”
“It’s not your fault. You may leave,” he said, but his face was filled with immense pain. He looked like someone in serious agony. Although Lily didn’t know exactly what is wrong with him, Lily felt bad for him.
“Erm… Sir… Are you fine?”
Alexander Bell looked at her weakly for a few seconds, took a while before he responded, “do I look fine to you?”
“Oh…” Lily was dumbfounded. What was wrong with her? Why was she acting concerned? She better take her leave. “I’ll take my leave, sir.”
As she turned to leave, Alexander spoke, “my ex wife….”
Lily turned to him quietly.
Alexander continued after a few seconds, “she divorced me many years ago and vanished. I have searched every hooks and crannies of the earth for her but I didn’t find her. But I found her today.”
“Oh… That’s a good thing, sir. Perhaps, you can make your marriage work again, sir…”
“I found her dead body.” He stated.
Lily’s heart sunk painfully, “oh my God! I’m so sorry, sir.”
He nodded and said, “I love her so much!” He lowered his head in agony and shook his head in pain. He raised his head slowly and set his face on her then suddenly bursted, “are you really not the woman that was used to drug me six years ago? The woman that made me have sex with her at Kakao club six years ago? Just be honest with me.”
Club? She had not even been to club in the past twelve years. “I’m not the one, sir. I’m not the type that visits club.” But as Lily said this, she remembered the dreams she used to have, always finding herself at the club being fucked mercilessly by a man who seem to be drunk.
“That woman look like you…” Alexander Bell said.
“I’m not that woman, sir. I’m not a club type at all,” Lily answered.
“You may leave,” he said.
“Sir… I do have a request to make from you,” she said. She did you know if this was the right time to make such demand seeing that he had just lost the love of his life.
“Go on,” he spoke.
“Can you please help me to stop living in Drake Bell’s villa? I’m being made to live there against my will,” she demanded.
Alexander thought for a while and said, “Leave now!”
Lily furrowed her brow in embarrassment. She should have known better not to ask him for help.
She immediately dissapeared from his presence.
When it comes to the issue of Drake Bell, he can’t just interfere. Same way, Drake Bell can’t just interfere in his issue. Why should she even help Lily? A woman who looked like the woman who was used to destroy his marriage.
Yet, he couldn’t seem to get her request off his head so when it was later that day, Alexander placed a call across to Lord Bell. Once the man answered, he greeted him respectfully.”
“Alexander, how are you?”
“I’m fine, father. Drake Bell is holding a woman in his house against her will. You know I’ve been banned from interfering in his affair but this woman being made to live in his villa against her will is my secretary and it’s affecting her mental health. Please tell him to let the woman go.”
“You are already interfering in his affairs, Alexander,” Lord Bell said.
“But he’s directly interfering in my affairs to, father. This woman is my secretary,” Alexander said.
After a moment of silence from Lord Bell’s end, the old man spoke, “okay, I’ll speak to him.” He quickly added, “But I can’t guarantee that your request will be answered. You know Drake can be stubborn.”
“He will respect your command, father. I believe you can do this for me.” Alexander persuaded his grandfather.
They exchanged a few more words after which the call came to an end.
When Lily returned home that day, she walked straight to her room, on opening the door, she furrowed her brow on seeing Drake Bell seated calmly on her bed.
“What in the world are you doing in my room? I thought we agreed that you wouldn’t come to my room without my permission?”
“That was before you informed my grandfather!” Drake Bell stood angrily, “what do you know about my family? How dare you bother my grandfather with such a boring matter?”
“Your grandfather? I have never spoken to him so I don’t know what you are talking about,” Lily said.
“Whom did you tell that I’m forcing you to live here with me?”
Lily thought. The only person she told was Alexander Bell. “Why?”
“Cause whoever you told definitely inform my grandfather.”
“Good for me, I guess. Will you let me go now?”
“Never?” Drake Bell walked up to her and grabbed her two shoulders, “did you think I was joking when I said I can’t let you go? There is no one born of a human, old or young that can make you stop living here. Not Alexander, not my grandfather, not my entire family!” There were already hard veins in his forehead. “You are mine!”
Lily looked at his obsessed face and was scared to even utter a word. It was as if he would break the bones of her shoulder if she dare to say a word. When he saw how hard he had been holding onto his shoulder, he let go of it and took steps back.
Why was he this obsessed about this woman? He can’t really explain. The same woman he despised years ago is now the woman he wants with everything within him.
“Can you…. leave my room? I’m tired and need to rest?” Lily selected her words carefully.
When she saw that Drake Bell wasn’t responding nor reacting to her words, she spoke, “when you eventually marry Amelia, will I still keep living here?”
Drake Bell didn’t even want to think about that. If not that his mother was forcing him, how could he dare to engage Amelia talkless of planning a wedding with her.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“It’s my mother who’s forcing me to marry Amelia, I do not like her.”
“I don’t care if you do.” Lily said and went to drop her bag on the bed, “honestly, I’m already having headache. Can you leave already.”
Drake Bell stood and said, “should I get you drugs or invite the doctor?”
“The headache is as a result of stress. I’ll just take my bath and rest. I’ll be fine. Can you leave now?” Lily asked.
Seeing how she was persistently sending her away from his room, Drake Bell’s heart shrinked sadly, he then walked out.
Lily sighed, “I’m glad you are having a dose of all the pain you caused me when I was married to you.” She mumbled as she went to take a shower.
Whereas, Amelia sat before her mom, lamenting angrily, “mom, not only did Drake Bell like Lily, even his uncle does. You should see how Mr. Alexander defended Lily publicly. Mom, am I not beautiful?”
“Of course you are beautiful, my daughter,” Mia comforted her daughter.
“Drake and I are engaged yet he still allowed Lily to be living with him. He doesn’t even give me attention, I don’t know what to do anymore.”
Mia hummed and said, “Drake Bell is an upright man, if he finds another man fucking Lily, don’t you think it will disgust him?”
“What are you talking about, mom?” Amelia asked.
“We’ll set a man up to rápe her and have it on tape, then play it before Drake Bell. Let’s see if he will still have the mind to keep liking her. Infact, we can go ahead and release that nude tape to the public, that way, her reputation will be ruined forever.”
A wicked smirk formed across Amelia’s mouth, “how come I didn’t think of this…” She was so happy at the plan and the possible outcome, “but mom, how do we go about that?”
“Why don’t you leave that for me. Once the tape is out, I’ll send it to you,” Amelia said.
“That’s why I love you, mom. You always come through for me, “Amelia stood and went to hug her mom.
A couple of days later, after work hour, Lily went straight to the underground garage of Yenny Designs. Just as she was about to enter the car, she heard a voice call on to her, “Lily…”
