Just the beginning

Betty went up to her room. She was utterly frustrated, she couldn't continue like this. She would head back to school once her parents were back which was just in two days time. She felt relieved at least for a while as she laid on the sofa

"Lily!" as she stood up. She hadn't seen her anywhere

"Where would she be?" She went out of her room and was about to head outside again. She was lily come out of her uncle's room. She went over to her but lily didn't say a word and just followed Betty to her room. Betty noticed that she looked weak and tired and left her to rest but her mind was bothered about what lily was doing in that room

"I need to find out more" he said surprising everyone

"Why? Do you like her?"

He stood up.

"Yes I do she's perfect"

"But I don't think Dilan would?" nix added

"He will he just needs time"

"What of if he doesn't?"

"He must! I can't die without having a heir" he said with finality and left the room.

"What did you find out about her?"

"Nothing"

"Why?"

"She seems cold"

"What of from Betty"

He was speechless for a while

"Try to find something from her you can leave"

Nix knew he had to find a way to help not just Dilan's parents but dilan too

"But ...Betty" he sighed as he went to his room in deep thoughts.

The next morning nix started his move on Betty. She ignored him the whole day but he was still not moved.

The bell rang.

"Mum!!" Betty hugged her mum

"Betty darling how are you?".

"I'm fine mum I missed you so much"

"I missed you more" The young man was just behind watching the two women hug each other

After a long while they were still hugging each other he coughed and they both looked up.

"Daddy I missed you too" Karin felt like tearing up.

"I missed you too tiny daughter",and he hugged her back Jenna joined the hug it was such a romantic atmosphere.

"Can I join?" Noah grinned

"Sigh" as everyone turned to Noah. Noah could feel the glaring eyes at him from his brother but he didn't mind. He walked up to him his eyes still fixed on him as if talking to him telepathically. Karin and Noah headed upstairs.

Jenna and lily continued their conversation as nix helped her carry her stuff.

"I need more information"

"And why" Noah didnt say anything and turned to leave

"She's my future daughter in law" and he left

After unpacking Betty and Jenna had a long talk till Karin joined them

"Mum I'll be leaving for school by next week"

"Why don't you come over here?"

"No mom besides am almost done"

"She makes sense" Karin added

"I'll miss you my baby" she said cuddling her

"Me too mom...and you too dad" Lily had a wonderful night with her parents. She left them to be alone and headed to her room but nix was by her door

"Oh lord" she gasped

"I heard your leaving?"

"Yes?"

"Why?!"

"Because I want to"

He fell silent for a while

"I'll miss you" and he turned to leave

"I'll not" she replied

"Just give up nix you can't get me ever!" she added

"Oh little snub its just the beginning" he pinched her cheeks and walked away leaving Betty rooted to the ground speechless
