Chapter 47 SECRETS
Mart was attending to a few documents his father had asked him to review when his phone rung. He glanced up from his desk and rolled over his chair to it. “ Hey, Lilia, what's up?” He said, supporting the phone with his shoulder as he scanned through a folder.
“ We lost Aimscious.” The words came like blow to his face. “What?..” The file fell off his hand, he couldn't believe his ears. “ What do you mean by we lost Aimscious?”
She was sobbing over the phone and Mart knew he wasn't lying. “ Talk to me, what happened?” His face washed with guilt.
“ I really don't know~ all I heard was she committed suicide.” The phone instantly dropped to the floor. No words came even though he wanted to ask more. For once, he regretted what he had said to her. His thoughts kept racing after each other.
“ Hello?...hello, Mart, are you there?” She called over the phone but had no reply. The phone went silent there after.

Lilia scanned at the phone in her hand and scoffed. “ I hope he doesn't beat himself up so much.” She said with a snare in her voice. She dropped the phone with a giggle. “ It's not like he killed her ~” She laughed.
“ It's all over, Lilia... I finally won, Mart is all mine now.”
“ All this because of a guy?” The voice behind drew her attention. She turned to see Kingsley at the door, her lips remained stuck in her mouth with nothing to say. “ You disgust me, Lilia.” He continued in rage. His patience all dried out.
“ Who the hell is this Mart guy?” He roared, disappointment and betrayal washed on his face. He never thought all along their love was just to kill time for Lilia.
At first she thought to make up an excuse but on a second thought, she felt she had nothing to loose even if he calls it a quit. “ I don't think I'm obliged to answer that, Kin~ I don't have time for your drama.”
She just trod past him as if nothing had happened. Kingsley was dumbfounded, he couldn't get himself to say anymore. This is not the Lilia he had known and fell in love with all along.
HOSPITAL
FLASHBACK
The surgery was finally over~Jasmine and Prince rushed over when they noticed the doctors approach. “ How is she, doctor?”
He sighed. “ Well, the worst is over but she's still yet to gain consciousness. For how long she's going to be like that, I can't tell.” He answered. Prince quickly thought of a plan. Right– it finally clicked.
Since their father's hospital was the biggest and well equipped one outside the country, it wouldn't be hard admitting her in. He thought.
Mr Scot was one of the biggest and richest investors in the country. Almost all the huge companies and institutions had 60% of his investment to run. Prince saw this as a great opportunity to ride on.
With plans well made, he asked the doctor to officially pronounce her dead so he could fly her out of the country without public notice. At first, Mr Phillips, the doctor in charge disagreed to his plea since it was against the work ethics but then he gave in after much effort from Prince. He finally managed to convince him.
“ Will she be alright?” Jasmine asked when he returned to the ward.
“ She sure will...she's a strong girl.” Prince assured. “ I've decided to fly her over to dad's hospital in Mexico. She'll be safer over there but to hide her identity I've asked the doctor to pronounce her dead.”
“ What?~ I'm not in support of this.”
“ Do you have any other idea to safeguard her safety?” He asked but she couldn't answer. “ What if she finds out...I'm not sure she'll be happy about that.” She finally expressed. Prince stared at Aims's pale face with concern.
“ I'm sure she'll understand ~it's for her own good.”

Nina was in disbelief when the truth was revealed to her. Aimscious wasn't dead~it was all a set up by Prince. He wanted a way to keep his sister safe for the meantime while he fished out the person behind the video and that was the only idea which came to mind.
“ How is she now? ” Prince asked as he approached Nina who was sitting on a chair beside her bed. She had her hand wrapped in hers. “ Ah...well, still the same, she is hanging in pretty well.” She said, gazing up at his face as he towered over her. “ Have you made the flight arrangement?”
“ Yes... ” He nodded. “ We'll be set in two days~ I spoke to dad, he said they'll be at the airport when we arrive.” Nina smiled, “ That's a relief.” She said.
“ He'll like her to stay with him for her studies after her recovery.”
“ That's good news.” Nina was glad to hear that. Atleast, she'll be much safer over there than with her here. She thought. Knowing how she barely survived this, she didn't know what the next would bring. “ It's better for her to stay with your dad, I agree with him.” She said.
*****************
Soon, the long waited day for her departure arrived. It was a private flight set to take off early Saturday morning. Jasmine helped Nina pack a few of her stuff along with some documents she might need.
They were getting ready to move her to the ambulance headed to the airport when a knock intruded. “ Yes?” Prince said, thinking it was the doctor or nurses but to his surprise, it was Kingsley.
They weren't an outsider~their cover were blown. He thought but why he didn't know was that, Kingsley had fair knowledge of their plans. But that wasn't the reason he visited.
“ I know the culprit behind the video.” He announced, their gazes washed with curiosity. “ Who was it?” Jasmine was the first to ask.
“ Lilia...she was in on it with the Principal.”Download Novelah App
