CHAPTER 53: Shopping.
Ethan Sterling sat inside his luxurious Rolls-Royce Boat Tail as the vehicle moved smoothly through the city's streets.He was seated in the rear, dressed in an immaculate black suit. Sarah sat beside him, while Lily occupied the other seat, still trying to adjust to the new life she had suddenly become part of.A luxury SUV followed behind them, carrying several of Ethan's trusted men, including Sam, one of the security personnel Ethan had gradually grown fond of.Lily looked through the window at the expensive buildings and shops passing by.She still found it difficult to believe that the man sitting beside her was her older brother. Just a few days ago, she had been struggling to pay her bills and worrying about work, how to please her manager.Now, she was sitting inside one of the most expensive cars in the world, heading to a boutique. Lily looked down at the simple clothes she was wearing."You know, I already have clothes."Ethan raised a brow, his head tilted you the side.
CHAPTER 52: Gavin's Fury
The hug was awkward at first, of course it was because they were both not used to this kind of sibling-closeness. Ethan was not a naturally expressive man. He rarely showed warmth. But slowly, carefully, he rested one hand on her shoulder and the other on her back. Holding her gently as he pulled her more into his embrace. ‘She is here, I found her at last, I have a sister’ A heavy feeling of responsibility settled in his chest. It was mixed with relief. After days of searching, combined with the feeling that his sister was out there suffering. At last she was finally in his arms.Lily felt his steady heartbeat and little by little, her shoulders loosened. Her arms tightened around him.For the first time since the Hernandez family passed away, she felt safe, less scared and most of all, she had a family,A tear slid down her cheek and dropped on his shirt. Just then, a soft cough sounded from the doorway."Ahem."Ethan and Lily jumped apart. Lily quickly rubbed her eyes while Et
CHAPTER 51 : The Reunion 2.
Just as Sarah stepped aside, Lily walked in.She wore a cream sweater. Her black hair was brushed back. Her face was clean, though still bruised. Her eyes were steady. Lily stopped near the doorway."Sit," Ethan muttered gently. "Please."Lily crossed the room and sat in an armchair opposite him.Sarah glanced at both of them. Then she quietly stepped out and closed the door.Silence settled in the room.Lily kept her hands together in her lap. Her fingers were twisting. She stared at the carpet. Her mind was still racing from everything that had happened.Ethan on the other hand watched her. Seeing her this closer even made him see the resemblance so much. Not just the resemblance to him, but to the little girl in the picture. Lily had grown so much in his eyes. One of the things that didn't change about her was her lips, and that tiny mole near her nose. Ethan felt the weight of every year they had lost.He cleared his throat. "I did not expect any of this," Lily met his eyes.
CHAPTER 50 : The Reunion 1.
The convoy rolled up a long, curved driveway lined with tall trees.At the end of it stood a pair of black iron gates, twice the height of a person. Two guards in black suits pulled them open, and the vehicles passed through one by one. The black Rolls-Royce Phantom led the line.Inside the Phantom, Lily sat very still, her eyes glued to the window. She had not said a word for the last twenty minutes.The car slowed and stopped in front of a massive building. It was white and gold, with tall pillars, a wide staircase, and a fountain in the courtyard. Lights glowed along the walls and guards stood at every corner.'Is this a hotel?' Lilly wondered. A driver opened the rear door. Ethan stepped out first, then he turned and offered his hand.Lily hesitated. Then she took it and climbed out. Her shoes touched the driveway. She looked up and her mouth fell open.The mansion was enormous. It stretched wide on both sides. She counted three floors, then four. It had a grand entrance, huge
CHAPTER 49 : Ready To Listen.
“Apologise to her” Ethan's voice was stern. The girls were stunned, then the first girl, whose arm was bleeding, lifted her chin."Who do you think you are?" she blurted. "Do you know who my father is?""I do," Ethan muttered casually. "Then you should know he will...""Your father owns three commercial buildings downtown," Ethan's voice stayed calm. "The second girl's father runs a trading firm. The third one's mother sits on the university board."The girls went pale."I know about every complaint Lily Hernandez filed against you," Ethan went on. "I know about all you have done to her, the threats, harassment and assault. I know you have been trying to force her to sign over her land.""That is a lie!" the third girl shouted."I have records."The girls fell silent."Let me explain something to you," Ethan walked slowly toward them. "What you did is not a school prank. It is assault. It is coercion. It is attempted fraudulent transfer of property. Depending on the evidence, you c
CHAPTER 48 : Apologise To Her
The next afternoon, the university campus was loud and busy.Students crowded the paths. Some carried books, others could be seen laughing with friends. A group played music near the fountain.Lily walked out of the campus canteen holding a small paper bag. It held a sandwich and a bottle of water. It was all she could afford for lunch. She slipped it into her bag and headed toward her classroom.Her cheek still had a faint bruise from the slap at the restaurant. She kept her head down.'Just get to class. Just get through the day.'This was the thought in her head as she turned onto the long path that led to the lecture halls. She was halfway down when three figures stepped out from behind a tree and blocked her way.Lily stopped.It was the same three girls.Their faces were hard, and their arms were folded. This time, they did not bother to hide in an alley. They stood in the open. Students passing by slowed down and stared, of course the onlookers were eager to know what this con
