"Fred, I'm so glad you're here." She was so relieved to see another known face that she cared less and just hugged him tight. He didn't return the embrace but she didn't mind.
"How did this happen?" He sounded disturbed and understandably so. It was only a matter of time before the media would take this news everywhere.
"I…" Lily began to explain but she stopped when she saw Fred was looking over her shoulder with a frown. She turned to look at the woman that had come in. She was a ginger head and she was in her pyjamas. Her eyes were heavy with sleep and swollen from crying too much.
"Your son has killed my son!" She held Fred's collar tight and squeezed. "That untrained brat has taken his life."
"Sarah he's fine." Fred sighed, taking her hands off him. "He's o

Mama Johnson ran back to the house and first of all contacted Roman. She tried to find his number on her phone but she was too disorganised to be able to do anything right.There was no response from his end and so she tried to find the driver that had brought Lily here but he was nowhere to be found either. Different thought processes ran through her head. Her daughter was likely to be killed and there was nothing she could do about it.Lost on what to do, she dialed her other daughters to let them know what had happened."What?!" Gaby gasped, "I'm driving to that mansion now. This definitely has something to do with them. We have never had to deal with something like this before."She was beyond furious that Roman wasn't answering any of his phone calls especially during such a huge emergency.She knew she should find her sister first but she was scared and she didn

Lily thought she was going to faint at the sight of the pool of blood that was gushing out of her husband. She couldn't tell where the shot had hit him because his chest and arm were soaked through his shirt.The bastard was grinning like he had been victorious and was now aiming his gun at Lily. Roman pushed her out of the way and dodged the bullet before it was shot.That must have angered the stranger because he was now making his way towards them."Put your hands up, your weapons on the floor." A deep voice bellowed and within seconds, a few police officers were flooding the small shack.Whoever he was, he was astonished to see that the police was here and so he acted in shock, trying to run out even knowing it was impossible.He aimed at one officer but a colleague was faster and shot at his hand, causing the gun to fall out of his grip.The brunet

He stared at her blankly for a moment and when realisation dawned on him, a bright smile appeared on his face."My God, Lily." He spread his arms and she stood to her feet to receive his embrace in a warm hug while Roman's eyed widened simultaneously."I haven't seen you in forever." She commented, pulling away, still holding hands with him, the only thing Roman could focus on.She was lying, he was one of her old classmates she used to stalk on Weber and she'd known he was hot guy but he had never posted a picture of his medical life."Me neither, wow, here you are and you're still as beautiful as ever." He smiled."Thank you." She blushed. He'd been her high school crush and they weren't really close but they had been good friends at the very least and although they dated for a week in middle school, their communication wasn't deep."If you are done with th

Kim pulled away from James and hid herself under a blanket. "What on earth are you doing here?!" She looked genuinely frightened. In her panicked state, she turned to look at James, "you said you locked the door!""What the hell is going on here?" Lily narrowed her eyes, unable to take it in. Her phone beeped in her hand. She raised the phone to her face, it was a text from Jerry.'I think we should fix a date when we can physically talk and get to know each other better.' the text read.She locked her phone, deciding this wasn't the best time to keep a conversation.Kim sprung to her feet, yanked Lily into the room by pulling her wrist and earning a small shriek from Lily. Kim locked the door behind them and double checked before holding Lily at arm's length."I need you to promise me that nothing you saw just now will get to anybody." Kim began to say, desperation filling her v

Not sure she had heard him right, Lily stood to her feet and blinked at Jerry whose smile was now wearing off into a look of genuine confusion."Are you okay?" He asked her, noticing how the colour had been washed off her face."What do you mean by I am pregnant?" She asked him, hoping he would just wave it off as some silly joke but then that look of confusion on his face widened and he shook his head."I'm surprised you didn't know, I thought to take it since I was doing a general checkup." He thought it wasn't a very good idea now.Lily didn't wanted to wait to hear what else he had to say. She just wanted to leave and go back to the comfort of the room she had shared with Roman and see the pregnancy results for herself."I'm sorry Jerry but I have to go." She announced, standing to her feet."You don't look very okay." He pointed out and she forced the most fake smile

Lily had completely forgotten that she actually had a brother in law, come to think of it, in laws at all. She wasn't expecting Adrian to be back from his trip so soon, she thought he would be gone all year, maybe it was something millionaires did.She blinked at the scene in front of her. He'd caught Kim and her 'brother'.She was so glad that she hadn't been the one to break the news to them. Turning to look at Roman, she could tell he had put two and two together and had figured out what was going on as well."Adrian I swear, it's not what it looks like." Kim began to wail while James ran down the flight of stairs without bothering to put his clothes on. It was a good idea because goodness knew what Adrian would do to him if he even stayed a bit longer.Adrian turned to look at Roman with cold, dead eyes. "Is dad home?"Roman didn't look phased by what was going on. "Nah." He shrugged.

Roman stood up after her immediately and trailed behind her as she made her way to go upstairs, "where are you going?"There was no response.Lily got upstairs and noticed that Adrian and kim had taken their issues to their bedroom. As complicated as the whole matter was, she truly wished they managed to resolve things."Stop following me!" She snapped when Roman came into the room with her. She hadn't been disgusted by someone's attitude in such a long time."This is my room, I can go wherever I want." He reminded her, sitting by the edge of the bed. Lily didn't argue with him, instead, she focused on her closet and began to pack a few clothes."Where are you going?" She could hear the mockery in his voice and when she didn't respond, he softened his tone, "I'm sorry about earlier okay? I didn't mean it like that. I know you did nothing with him, i just think you don't stay safe

RoMan didn't give an explanation. Instead, he came up to her side and pulled her away from Kim. He held her shoulder for a minute and stared at her blankly."Roman, what's wrong?" Lily stood still, waiting for him to say something. Instead, he went to the closet, stuffed random pieces of their clothing into a mini travel bag. He held it in his weak arm and pulled a plain t-shirt over his head.He held her hand and took her out of the room while she stared still in utter confusion. She met Kim's confused gaze before heading down the flight of stairs.Fred was still waiting in the living room when they got there. He had a frown plastered on his face, "you can't be serious, where are you two fucking headed?"He trailed after them as Roman did not bulge or let go of Lily.Lily wanted to complain that he was holding her too tight but she was still so confused and was barely able to fi
