THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS GUYS I LOVE THEM ALL AND THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO ME! THIS CHAPTER IS JUST STRICTLY WHAT HAPPENED IN THE PAST YEAR AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING NOW.

PS - If anyone is interested in what the characters look like go to my profile and click on their link. I have a picture for at least every person from this story and my other ones as well. If one of their links don't work, please let me know and I'll fix it.

Background information - I forgot to mention Lily's age which is twenty-one now, but in the beginning of the story she was twenty (I know underage drinking, but work with me). And unfortunately, since Lily took birth-control pills to keep her menstruation regular, she did not get pregnant.

One year later: London, England

Lily breathed heavily as she swam laps on the pool club house. It's been a year that she had changed her name... well, not legally. Lilybell Adams was dead now. After all the crap she went going with that name, she was now Belinda of the Rose. A fierce woman that won't let anyone get in her way, even Bruce Wayne.

Lily loved... loves him, but Belinda hates him with all her might. She had stopped calling her friends from Gotham. She just needed time to redo her life. And she's done a marvelous job on that.

Her Great-Aunt Liz was a successful woman and an independent, Lily's inspiration on what she wants to be and she achieved it. Lily was rich now. She had just turned twenty-one and in her father's and mother's testament, it said that she will inherit all their money and properties.

Lily never really cared about money, but if it helped on her revenge she was going to take it. Lily hired a trainer to help her lose weight. And after a year of hard work, she had managed to lose everything. Now, men would look twice whenever she passed them by. A lot of them ask if she'd liked to go into modeling, but she'd always say that modeling is only for wanna be rich spoiled brats that don't know how to do anything of importance so they just stick to models just because they have a pretty face. Of course, she doesn't mean that about every model, just the ones she has met.

"Bell!" called her aunt, as she got out of the pool Lily groaned at her name.

"Aunt Liz, I told you to call me Belinda. Lilybell is dead," she said drying herself with a towel.

"I won't call you that ridiculous. You were born as Lilybell Adams and in my eyes you will always be that. Not Belinda of the Rose," she spat. Lily just laughed making Liz laugh too. "You will never be Belinda, Bell, until you stop loving that man you left."

Lily cringed. "I don't love him anymore," she said turning away. But, who could she kid. Lily still loved Bruce, even after all he did to her, she was more in love than ever with him.

"You were never good at lying, Bell," Liz said putting a hand on her shoulder. Lily turned and looked at her aunt. Though she was sixty-five, she was still beautiful, although she looked paler and thinner everyday. The only family she had left was dying of cancer and she could do nothing to stop it.

"Are you going back to Gotham now that you look like this? No one will recognize you."

She shook her head. "I can't I have to take care of you Aunt Liz."

"Me? An old woman, Lily. I already lived life. It doesn't matter if I die." Lily was about to protest, but Liz went on. "But, you Lily. You have a life ahead of you. Go to Gotham, find the man you love. I'm sure you had a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? Aunt Liz, I saw him sleeping with another woman!"

She shrugged. "Was he actually having sex with her? Maybe he was passed out and they tricked you," she said walking to the car. Lily stood there trying to take in what Liz had just told her. She remembered seeing Bruce's sad face, hearing his cries for her to listen to him. But, no. She had to be strong. Watch out, Bruce, because when I go back to Gotham, I will have my revenge.

Gotham, USA. A Week Later

"I can't believe I'm getting married," groaned Bruce, looking at himself in the mirror, putting his tux on. There has not been one day that he had not thought of Lily, but he knew that it was time for a change. He agreed to marry Diana because one she has always been there for him, even to satisfy still wanted needs - not that it was working-, and two, that she'd respect his memory of Lily because that was special for him.

"Then why go through it, Master Wayne?" Alfred was afraid that it would come to this. Bruce wasn't the same man he use to be. Before Lily, he would screw around with girls all the time. And when he did have Lily, he was the happiest man on Earth. Now that he has lost her, he was depressed most of the time. And angry, which he would get out on when he was Batman.

Luckily, he was still Batman. Recently, Batman has been donating a lot of money to the Lost Lamb Orphanage that Lily use go to. Everyone, wondered where the money came from and even go as far as accusing him of robbery, but it all came from Wayne's pockets.

"Because Alfred I just need to move on. Lily obviously hates me."

"Yes, but you still love her not Diana. Your marriage won't be the best one."

"Lily will always be in my heart, but I need to move on."

"Oh, mommy I'm so happy!" said Diana excitedly as she looked herself in the mirror. She was truly a beautiful bride to be.

"Diana, baby, are you sure about this? I mean, do you honestly think marrying Bruce is the right thing?" Candice isn't really Diana's biological mom, but she has raised as her own. When Diana found out, she wouldn't speak to her mother for two months at least until she was kidnapped by the mob. Apparently, Diana's father, who is her biological, was also getting involved with the mob and decided to kidnap Candice to get to him. Luckily, thanks to Derek's help, who was promoted to Chief Inspector, they got Candice safe and arrested the mob, who was apparently being run by Mario, but they couldn't convict him because they couldn't get any proof.

Diana stayed quite for a moment remembering the night Derek had made love to her. It was breathtaking just thinking about it and a year without it made her yearn for his touch. But Bruce, in her mind, was the one that she wanted.

"Of course, mother. I love Bruce." Candice sighed and hoped that Diana wasn't making a big mistake.
