"Trent, I think your dad's illness is deteriorating day by day. You're only fifteen but you're his only child and heir to his entire empire. You know you have to take all those responsibility" Assistant Mu said. He looked at Trant and look at his father whose eyes were closed shut, breathing terribly. Assistant Mu has been with the family since Trent's father was in his early 30s. "I know" Trent answered. He looked at his father one more time before walking out.
His mother died when he was only one week old and now, his father was incapacitated on the bed and he has to take over the entire business at the age of fifteen, Trent felt very sad about this. He took his dairy and walked out of the vacation house where his father was kept safely. Trent walked to the beach side, he sat in front of the moving water then he began to write some words into his dairy. Trent was doing this when sad was mistakenly thrown on him. "The fuck!" He cursed and turned sharply to the direction it came from. Anger flushed his face but when he saw the face that threw the sand on him, his anger immediately settled. He looked at the girl as if he had seen an angel. She walked to him quickly and began to dust his body. She was as pretty as the sunflower, My lily, he said in his heart as if he had planned the name before. However, Madine began to dust his cloth saying "sorry" each time. Then, Trent gained himself, he frowned and said; "It's fine" He said and pushed her again away. "You're such a slob!" He said and walked out. Madine watched his retreating figure, she frowned as well and turned around. "You're the slob!" She yelled before walking out completely. Next Day; Madine took the little book off her reading table and set out. She was heading to the ocean side again. She wanted to see him again so she could give him his diary and even mock him for keeping a diary. Ha! Madine had gotten to the living room when Nadine walked over to her, she looked at her twin sister with scorn and said; "Dad's little perfectionists" She scowled, folded her arm and rolled her eyes. Madine sighed and didn't say anything. She ignored her twin sister and walked out. Madine reaches the ocean side, she looked in he direction Trent walked pass with hopeful eyes. Madine waited and waited but he didn't come. She sighed, scoffed and threw the book to the floor. She turned around and who saw frightened her so bad, she yelled and almost fell but the slender, tall and handsome guy held her by the waist. Her eyes closed, her lips pouted as if she was ready to be kissed. Trent scoffed and said; "Why do I feel like you like me already" He said. Madine opened her eyes wide, pushed him away and stood well. "Why will I ever like you. You're not even handsome" She lies, didn't mean it but her pride wouldn't let her say the truth. Trent scoffed and looked away from her. Then his eyes found his dairy on the floor, he walked to it and picked it up. Relieve washed his face as he thought he had lost it. Then he turned to Madine in anger and said; "Did you read my diary?!" He raised his brows in anger. "Scoffs. Why will I read your diary. It's probably full with names of girls you've fucked" Madine retorted. Her words seemed to pissed Trent off, he frowned, turned his back and sat down on the floor. Then Madine felt bad so she bent to his level and said; "I have a diary too. I don't want others to read mine so why will I do that to others?" She said truthfully. Her words like magic soothed his heart. He smiled and said; "Just like a lily." She smiled. Everyday, Trent and Madine would meet at the ocean, talked, smiled and played with each other as if they were dating. Until the last day, Madine family was going back home, they only came to Malibu for a vacation. Trent face became very sad, he wished he could claim her at that moment but he knew he had so many responsibilities to shoulder. He would never have time madine yet, he would have to choose between Madine and the whole company. "Will you wait for me?" He blurted. Madine turned to him sharply, she smiled and nodded her head. Then he held her hand and said; "Tell me a mark on your body and I'll come and find you" Madine thought of what he said, smiled then raised her top, she showed him a small black dot below her belly botton. "Oreo's family. When you come to our house, just tell my parents you want to marry their child and I'll come right out to you" She said. "My sunflower, My lily" He said and hugged her so tight. "I love you Trent" She said, her eyes glimmering under the sun. "I love you lily" He replied, hugged her until she had to go. ***** Ten Years Later: OREO's HOUSE: "Madine, why are you being so mean to your sister? You know she is not as strong as you" Mrs Oreo said. Madine rolled her eyes and looked away from her mom. Every time, her parents always took side with Nadine, they always gave the excuse that she was not strong enough just because she once had a kidney failure and Nadine was always taking advantage of it. "Mom I know. I get it, she is not strong enough but why do I have to give her the car I bought with my hard earned money because she couldn't save up enough money to buy a car. You give her more money than you give me so why don't she save up and buy a car or better still get a fucking job since we both we to college!" Madine yelled, frustratedly. She was so angry. Her parents were always preferential and she never complained not even once. She had to work very hard to get most things even when Nadine didn't work at all, she still didn't complain but Nadine was never satisfied. Nadine always wanted everything she had even though she doesn't get as much care as Nadine got. "I said it mom, I will not give her my car. You bought her a car before and you didn't buy for me. She sold hers to buy just one Gucci bag so now I have to give her mine? No way!" Madine said and stormed out in anger. Mrs Oreo called her until she was out of sight. "Mom!" Nadine looked at her mom with tears eyes and sat down on the chair. She began to cry as if she was cheated. Meanwhile: Madine drove out of the house in anger, tears rolled down her eyes as she drove through the tiled road. She increased the sound of the song playing, crying her sorrow out. She felt cheated. She felt as if her parents loved Nadine more than they love her. She was always doing better than Nadine but they have never seen her once. They preferred Nadine each time. Gave her things to Nadine. Gave her the least because of Nadine and didn't take her out sometimes because of Nadine. Maybe if she had kidney failure too, they would love her. She closed her eyes for two seconds, opened them back and a big car approached her, madine tried the break but it didn't work, her heart beat scaled and fear covered her whole body. Her hands shook as she was faced with death, she turned the car and it hit a tree which sent her to an unconscious state after she hit her head against the stirring wheel.
Mr. and Mrs. Oreo rushed to the hospital. Mrs. Oreo was already crying so bad that she breath was starting to hitch, her husband held her as well as Nadine Who looked very scared, fragile and breathless. "Dad, I have to tell you something, " She said with tears in her eyes. Her lips quivered, she looked very frightened. "You can tell me later. Your sister needs our full attention now" Her dad said. She nodded, but her finger as tears burned the back of her eyes and rolled down her cheeks. Just then, the doctor in a white shirt approached them. He looked at Mr. and Mrs.
Oreo With scrutiny as if he was watching what to say to them. He sighed, bent his head, raised it, and said; "Your daughter, her head hit the stirring wheel in a very dangerous way. She is saved from death now but I can't assure you she will wake up soon. Maybe if you pray well, she'll wake up soon but for now, she is in a coma" The doctor said. Without waiting further, he walked out. "Oh, my daughter!" Mrs. Oreo cried, she held her husband tight as more tears rushed down her eyes. Nadine cried bitterly as well, she hugged her father, buried her head on his chest, and wiped very much. Two Months Later; A young man who held so much power sat in the car, his leg out, his arm on the car's window. He was seething in anger, someone had offended him and he would never spare that person even though that person was a woman. Just then, two able men with big chests and big bodies dragged a woman by her arm to the front of the young man. Trent took off his black glasses, so black you can't see his green eyes from them. He looked at the girl with blonde hair in a waitress uniform. She stood in front of him shaking as if she had seen a demon. "Why did you try to poison me?" He asked, calmly. He didn't have to shout. The girl raised her head, stunned, she said; "I didn't... I would never poison you." She stammered, scared of what the man might do to her. "I will not ask again," He said, clicked his tongue, and looked sideways. He put on his dark glasses again. Immediately, she fell to her knees. With a shaking voice, she said; "I swear it wasn't poison I applied in your drink. It was a sleeping tablet and a lady paid me to do this. She said she want to sleep with you and carry your child that's all" She said truthfully, shaking and crying. Trent looked at her, not surprised, it wasn't the first time. "Find the lady, destroy her career. You see this one, find the manager, tell him to demote her. Next time I come to this bar, I wanna see her as the cleaner" He said. The said screamed, fell on her knees but before she could say anything, the guards carried her away. Trent sat well in the car, beside him was Assistant Mu. "I think it's time to get a wife" He advised. "I know. It's time to get my woman." He said. He smiled at the thought of her, "My lily" He added. "Who is she? From which household? Tell me, I will find her. The company has ranked #1 in the world, you got it up to that level. You are the youngest and richest CEO. You're very handsome with compelling green eyes. Whoever she is, you can get her." Assistant Mu said. "Oreo. That's her last name. I was so obsessed with her, I didn't get to know her name," He paused and looked at Assistant Mu. He smiled while he said; " you know that feeling? When you're so in love and you don't care about any other thing? She completely stole my heart. I didn't want to know any other thing. I wanted her to be mine and that's why I have her my name, I called her Lily. I knew I wanted to be with her " He explained so beautifully that even Assistant Mu knew Trent was madly in love. "Oreo, we' 'll find her. Her parents' vacation house is at Malibu, just right by your father's vacation house?" Assistant Mu asked to confirm. Trent nodded then he smiled. "We found her. Remember that vacation house your father didn't like, the one he gave out because your mom didn't like the design? Yes, that particular one, he gave it to one Oreo Family, they have two..." Before Assistant Mu could finish, Trent cut him off saying; "Take me there. I want to get married in the next two days" Assistant Mu smiled. He touched the driver and the car moved. An hour later, they arrived at Oreo's mansion. Trent without the driver opening the door for him got down and walked in first. Majestically, waltzing all-powerful aura, he walked into the mansion. Assistant Mu smiled behind him, he was proud of him. In seconds, Trent was already in Oreo's living room. Mrs. Oreo was the one in the living room at the time, she was surprised, he wasn't expecting to see such a prestigious, Tall, slender, and handsome man in her living room. She thought she was dreaming so she called her husband to confirm it for her. Mr. Oreo rushed out. When his eyes met Trent's beautiful green ones, he almost bowed because of how much affluence Trent was emitting. "What... can I offer you?" He stammered, his wife pinched him, moved forward, and said; "What is your prestigious, honorable and Amiable self looking for at our house, sir," She said. Trent didn't say anything, he was looking for something else. A picture. The only picture in the room was the picture Mr. Oreo, Mrs. Oreo, and Nadine took together. "Where is she?" Trent walked to the picture and pointed to Nadine. Mr. and Mrs. Oreo turned in the direction. "Well, she..." They stammered. ..Just then, the door flung open and Nadine walked in, holding a lunch box, hair packed in a bun, looking as innocent as ever. Beads of sweat on her forehead like she had been working too hard. Trent's eyes fell on the lunch box she held first, then he traced her exposed lap all the way to her innocent face. "My Lily" He called.
Just then, the door flung open and Nadine walked in, holding a lunch box, hair packed in a bun, looking as innocent as ever. Beads of sweat on her forehead like she had been working too hard. Trent's eyes fell on the lunch box she held first, then he traced her exposed lap to her innocent face. "My Lily" He called. Nadine's face lit up, she didn't smile, she was surprised. Trent moved past the three adults, he stopped in front of Nadine. He looked at her from her head to her toe. Her face was slender, white, and pretty. Her lips were pink, full, and kissable.
Her facial features were overly pretty. Then he looked at her hair, black and shiny, so pretty. "Can I touch you?" Trent asked. Nadine was still getting over her shock, she nodded her head, her cheeks blushed. "Did he just politely ask her?" Assistant Mu asked no one in particular. Trent has never been polite in his entire life so Assistant Mu was more than surprised when he politely asked Nadine if he could touch her. Trent smiled and touched her waist, he pushed her closer to himself. Nadine gasped, She dropped the empty lunch box. Trent touched her waist to her stomach, gently while looking into her hazel eyes, he raised it. "Is it you?" He asked. Nadine didn't say anything. He took two steps backward, heaved a huge sigh, and bent over to look at her tummy. His eyes went all over her white clean tummy until he found it, the tiny mark under her navel. His eyes blew in excitement, he widened his teeth and looked up at Nadine. "It's you. It is you" He said, fact lit. He hugged her so tight. Nadine widened her eyes when he pushed her into him suddenly and hugged her. Her arms dropped beside her as he hugged her right. "Don't you remember me anymore?" Trent asked. He thought Nadine didn't remember him anymore because of the way she was behaving. Still, Nadine didn't say anything. She was just looking at him, surprised as tears burnt the back of her eyes. "Mom" She called as if scared. Mrs. Oreo walked to her daughter immediately, hugged her, and faced Trent, she said; "Please leave. She is overwhelmed right now" Assistant Mu understood this, he walked to Trent, held his arm and they both walked out. As Trent walked out, he said; " She should be hugging me like that instead. Like what the fock is this whole chest for?!"He beat his chest comically and walked in front with a cold face. Assistant Mu smiled behind him. In Nadine's Room: A well-decorated room with a lot of designer bags and shoes. "Why did you cry like that?" Mrs. Oreo asked when she had calmed down. Nadine looked up at her mom and said; "Because the doctor said Madine won't wake up anytime soon" She answered, pausing to take a breath. "It's Madine he came for." Her mom said. Nadine snapped her head and looked at her mother wondering how her mother knew Trent Hustin came for Madine and not her. "I know because you both are my daughter. You don't have a mark below your navel, Madine does. How did you get one?" She asked. "It's not a real mark mom. I was cleaning Madine up and I saw the mark below her navel. I wanted to be both Madine and Nadine to you so that's why I drew it there. I didn't even know I would meet Trent Hustin here." Nadine said tears burned the back of her eyes as she talked. She looked very innocent and fragile. "Nadine, you will get married to Trent" Mr. Oreo chipped in, walking fully into her room, sitting beside her, and touching her face. The mother and daughter looked at him. "No dad I can't. He came for Madine and not me so let him marry Madine. Moreover, I have my relationship " Nadine shook her head, protesting, looking at both her mom and dad. "James, leave Nadine out of this" Mrs. Oreo said, she loves the two of her daughter very much and she wouldn't want anything bad to happen or for them to get hurt. James shook his head and said, looking directly at Nadine; " Do you think if Trent knows Madine is in a coma like that, he would still want her? There are a lot of women who want him, do you think he would wait for Madine to wake up? Do you want to lose such a prominent Son in law" Mr. Oreo asked the last one, looked at Mrs. Oreo, and school his head as if disappointed. "And you, you want to lose such a prominent husband?" He added referring to Nadine whose tears were endless. Mrs. Oreo turned to the other side thinking of what her husband had said. It was a jackpot. If Trent truly knows Madine was in a coma, he wouldn't wait for her, she thought. But Mrs. Oreo didn't want Nadine to pretend to be Madine. It's cheating to both Trent and Madine. " Since he doesn't even recognize Madine's real face, let's just make Nadine pretend to be her. After all, he doesn't know her name either" Mr. Oreo uttered. With tears in her eyes, Nadine looked at her mother. Her eyes glistened in both tears and light. "It's just right to keep such a prominent Man." Her mother said. Nadine cried out the tears in her eyes. Then she hugged her parents so well. "I don't want to do it either mom but for Madine, I promised her I would be both Madine and Nadine. I'm trying to keep the family mom so I'll do it. " She said and hugged them again. "Yes, you are. You're such a good girl."Mr. Oreo said. Three days later, Trent came back, Nadine was ready. She did her make-up and wore a body hug gown which flattered her shape. Trent smiled seeing her. She looked very pretty. "My lily" He called. Nadine smiled, walked closer to him, and said; "Trent Arrogant Hustin" She said. Trent smiled, moved closer, and kissed her on her forehead. "You remember I'm arrogant," He said and she smiled. Quickly, Trent faced her parents and said; "Mr. Oreo, I already bought shares for your daughter in the company. I bought shares for each and everyone in the family. You just have to give me names of everyone in your family" He said, his eyes on Nadine. "We are just three," Mr. Oreo answered quickly. Mrs. Oreo looked at him and rolled her eyes. Her heart suddenly ached for her daughter. "He made a mistake, we are four but our last daughter is in the hospital," Mrs. Oreo said. "Noted. By the way, our wedding is in two weeks" He smiled. Nadine smiled as well, she held his arm and rested on his chest. "We agree" The two adults uttered with a joyous tone. Two Days Later; Nadine entered her car, the one Trent just got her. She smiled inside the car like a queen. She drove all the way to the hospital to see madine and tell her again all that had happened. She got to the hospital, parked her car, and walked into Madine's ward. Madine with brown hair, clogged in a cap. Her face was as white as porcelain. Her red lips had turned white, while a tube was passed into her mouth. "Hi, sister" Nadine smiled and waved at her sister. "Can you see my finger?" She asked, a long silence went on. "Oh, no you can't because you're in a coma. You know God allows things to happen because of other things. You know when I tempered with your car that day, I felt very bad. Very very bad that I cried all night but who knew it only happened because Trent was coming to claim you. Ha! I even wanted to tell dad what I did but he was too engrossed with you he didn't listen to me. " She rolled her eyes, took in a breath calmly, and continued. "Do you know the amazing part about this? It's the part where I tattooed the same mark you had on your navel because why? I was there the same day Trent told you to show him a mark and he would claim you one day. In case you have forgotten sister, I have always been in love with Trent. Since I was ten years old but no, you took him to your selfish self! I know that's is the reason why God placed you in this situation because Trent was never yours in the first place. He was mine! Mine and only mine!" She yelled, raising her head to slap Madine. However, her hand seemed to be held up in the sky. Nadine Widened her eyes, traced the hand with pink fingers; "Madine?!" She called, stupefied. "You!" Madine said and slapped her face. Nadine was very weak, it took just that one slap for her to fall to the ground. Anger showed on Madine's face so much, she removed all the things on her body and stood up, she walked to Nadine with anger. "You!" She yelled pointing at her. " How dare you do this to me?!!!" She yelled again walking towards Nadine whose eyes were already red, teary, and swollen with fear.
