Cole rushed out of the mansion and was stunned to see the man he thought to be a delivery man entering a Lexus car. Cole raised his left eyebrow in disbelief, he rushed to the man. "Excuse me, " Cole said. The man didn't enter the car but faced him instead. "Sir," the man said, still staring at him. "Erm… who are you?" Cole asked curiously. He was really curious about the man's identity and what connection he had with Lily. He practically knows everyone connected to Lily. "I'm Mr Walter's assistant" the man revealed. "Mr Walter '' Cole muttered and it dawned on him who owned the name. Cole has seen him in magazines a few times, he's a new trillionaire. "That means Mr Walter sent you right?" Cole asked and the man nodded. on positive. Cole was shocked, many questions ran through his mind. Why would he send a gift to Lily?How did she meet him?What must be the intention of this trillionaire for his sister?, does he have any interest in her?" Cole thought and that last question
"You are right, it's really beautiful, grandma has good taste, in fact she never wears anything outdated, so I think our assumption might be correct" Lily uttered, trailing her fingers on the necklace, even though it was a turtleneck gown the necklace perfectly matched the dress. Lily smiled at her reflection in the mirror, she faced up. "Kiss me" Lily muttered. "Don't be naughty, I will smear your lipstick" Damien chuckled. "Just a little" Lily mumbled and pouted her lips for a kiss. Damien kissed her a bit with his lips pouted as well. The door suddenly flung open and the old woman walked in.. "Grandma!" Lily snapped and stood up. Damien stepped aside when he saw her. "That was rude grandma" Lily couldn't help but reprimand her grandmother for her impolite interruption. "Why is it taking you forever to get ready?Do you have plans to embarrass me?" the old woman yelled. "No, but you shouldn't have barged in like that, you talk about manners and low class people but your at
The old woman and Cole went back downstairs to meet Walter. Cole took the old woman to Walter, they reached Walter who was still by the counter sipping from a glass of wine, that seemed to be his choice of drink. "Welcome" the old lady said and Walter faced her. Cole and him exchanged knowing smiles. "Thank you so much for the hospitality," Walter said lowly but that lowly attitude was just a facade. "It's a pleasure having you here" the old lady smiled, she seemed to like this man immediately she met him. "I'm highly honoured to be invited to this party," Walter said and dropped the glass of wine on the counter. "I heard about your intentions for my granddaughter" the old lady said, raising her eyebrows for confirmation of what Cole said. "Yes, I'm certain you heard right," Walter replied. "You are such a straightforward man, I really like that" the old lady commended. "Call your sister," the old lady muttered to Cole who was standing behind her. Cole quickly exited from t
"Mr Walter!" Lily cautioned, she couldn't believe this man could be so rude, insultive and sinister. She made a big mistake in almost thinking that he was a gentle man. "I'm sorry for my outburst but this waiter was crossing his limits, how dare he touch you?!" Walter yelled, angrily glaring at Damien who didn't seem shaken by the deadly glare. "That didn't not give you the right to humiliate him in such a way, that was extremely rude and insensitive, I thought you were a man that had respect for people but I guess I was wrong" Lily raised her voice. That caught the attention of some of the guests, they turned to face them, everywhere went silent. "You were really defending a waiter, he was crossing his limits, trying to touch you and you are comfortable with a low life touching you!" Waiter raised his voice too but decided to lower his voice because people were already watching them. "Fine, I'm sorry" Walter apologised, Lily wasn't expecting it that fast but she feels Damien des
Damien balled his fists, he stood still, he didn't move a muscle, that attack ruined his life, it took the life of his parents and his brother. He couldn't still wrap his head around the real culprit behind that attack or the secret behind it but now this new guy, Walter has just given him a lead to finding the missing piece he has always searched for. Walter's actions, words have just shown that he knows something about that attack. "You are the one who can lead me to the culprits or maybe you are the culprit?" Damien muttered lost in his own thoughts. He tried to take another step but Walter's words replayed in his mind. 'New threats might have just arrived in your life'Those words seemed coded but meant a lot. " What are those new threats?Who are you really?" Damien questioned himself. He has never been so confused in his life but one thing is for sure that is Walter having knowledge about that attack. A waiter's shoulder hit Damien's and that jerked him from his thoughts.
Damien stared at the box earlier with doubt in his mind, he didn't know if it was safe or not to open it, it was covered with a flowery wrapper making it more suspicious.. He even imagined it to be a bomb that would explode and kill everyone including him who must be the main target. Damien cleared the doubt from his mind and opened the box, he was shocked when he dipped his hand into it and the next thing was his mother 's locket. Damien could feel his hands shaking not out of fear but out of anger. "What does this mean?" Damien gasped in disbelief… Damien looked around for the waiter who gave him the gift but he wasn't in the kitchen. Damien left the kitchen and went to the sitting room. He looked around but the waiter seemed to have disappeared into thin air. He walked back to the kitchen and stared at the locket, he could recognize this locket anywhere, his mother always, wore everywhere she went, on every occasion and even including that unfortunate attack. Strangely they
"She's just bluffing," Lily muttered and sighed. "When will Dora bring back the baby?" Lily asked pouting cutely, she has missed her child so much. Damien brought out his phone and called Dora. Dora is baby James'nanny, she has been working for them for months now and she has proved trustworthy, Lily can't leave her baby with simply anyone but Dora is a nice and good woman, she takes care of baby James like her own son.. Lily has to win this contract and take care of the baby, making her presentation couldn't work at all. She had to allow Nanny Dora to leave with baby James on a vacation. She's not choosing a contract over her child but the only way to escape grandmother's trap was to win that contract. Damien hung up and raised up his head to face Lily. "What did she say?" Lily asked anxiously, she's missing her baby, the whole saga about Walter hasn't given her any time to call Dora today. "She's bringing James tonight, it's just the traffic that's delaying them" Damien repli
Walter clenched his fist more tightly, his other hand went under the table cringing it. He hopes she's not going to do what he's thinking but that would extremely infuriate him. "I'm sorry…" Lily muttered and paused.. " I can't accept your gift, it's beautiful and I really appreciate your generosity… "Lily resumed but Walter cut in sharply. " I'm not giving this to any charity organisation or an unimportant person, I'm giving it to you, you are special Lily " Walter said rather calmly, he can't believe that he is really calm. "You might not be donating to a charity organisation but I don't deserve this gift. It's duly appreciated that you thought of me and got this but I'm not accepting it. I have to refuse, I'm sorry" She refused the gift and took her hand away from the table. Lily drew baby James's stroller closer to her. The old woman was boiling inside, she felt so embarrassed by her granddaughter's stupid attitude. She can't understand this girl, she just rejected a neckla
