THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS GUYS I LOVE THEM ALL AND THEY MEAN SO MUCH TO ME!
PS - Alfred doesn't tell Bruce because he thinks he should find out on his own and Lily is like his daughter and respects her decision. I know you guys hate Diana, but I promise she'll change. Oh yeah, before I forget, I know that Bruce is rich, but it'll just look weird that he's giving his own money to orphanages (Just trust me on this. It makes Batman more of a criminal so that gives more people in Gotham a reason to hate him, which include the police, not Gordon, and the mob... and maybe even the Joker? Anyone?
Lily screamed through the cloth, struggling against the grips of the knots. Oh Lord, I hope someone finds me, she thought. She growled angrily thinking back at Batman. How dare he treat her this way? However, she had to admit, it was sweet of him to get that money for those children. Lily had also send money to the orphanage and even sending letters to Allie, just like she promised.
I need to get out of here, she thought. She again screamed louder trying to get someones attention and hopefully they'll hear her.
"Dave, do you hear something?" asked Cynthia, as they walked past the parlor. Dave shrugged and motioned her to stay silent and maybe hear the scream again. Their eyes widen when they indeed heard the scream. They opened the door and found Lily... well, to them, Belinda.
"Oh goodness. Dave go untie her while I go get some help," she said running the other way.
Dave untied her hands first then went for her legs. "Thank you," she said, when she took off the cloth from her mouth. Dave gave her smile as he looked up at her, but his smile quickly fell when he looked into her eyes. Lily gasped knowing that Dave found her out.
He was about to saying something, but Cynthia came in with the people from the party, including Alfred. "Miss Rose, are you alright?" he asked
"Yes, thank you," she said looking at Dave, who looked like he had just seen a ghost.
"Aahh! They stole my money!" yelled Mario. People started to scream when their stuff was also gone including the wedding gifts.
"I'll call the police," said Alfred.
Lily fingered the Batarang in her hand. She didn't know if she should tell the police or not.
She still felt Dave's stare on her. She was afraid he might talk and then her plan would be ruin. She slowly walked to him, making sure she wasn't highly noticeable. "Meet me by tomorrow in Lily's bookstore. We have to talk," she whispered. Dave gave her a sharp and nodded.
"The police is here," announced Alfred. Lily almost smiled seeing Derek with Gordon and other officers. It looks like he had moved up his rank because of the change of his attire. He was still handsome like always.
"What happened here?" he asked.
"My money and these people's money were stolen. What are you going to do about that?" said Mario angrily. Derek glared at him. He never liked him and knew he was doing some dirty business.
"Calm down, Mr. Costa. We'll get to the bottom of this," said Gordon glaring at Mario.
"Yes and we found her tied up in here," said Cynthia speaking up. Derek turned his attention to Lily. She prayed that he won't notice who she was too.
"Hello, ma'am," he said. Lily smiled politely. "What's your name?"
"Belinda Rose," she answered. He smiled at her; she was very beautiful indeed. Meanwhile, Diana was standing at the side glaring at Derek and Lily, feeling jealous all of a sudden.
"Excuse me, but why were you even here in the first place?" asked Diana angrily. "Seems a little suspicious don't you think?" Diana was tiered that this woman, whoever she was, was getting all the attention. I'm the bride, dammit. I should be getting the attention not her.
"Please, Mrs. Wayne. We will handle this," he said giving her a hard look. Diana felt hurt by the way he talked to her and slowly stepped aside.
"Miss..."
"Belinda please," she said smiling.
Derek smiled back. "Belinda do you know who did this to you?"
"Yes, uh, here," she said handing him the bat-shaped weapon.
Derek eyes furrowed touching it. "We've seen this in a lot of robbery scenes lately. So Batman was here." It was a statement more than a question.
Lily nodded. "But he said that he would use the money to donate it to the orphanages."
"But, miss, that is still robbery, which is a crime," he stated. Lily shut her mouth knowing that she couldn't do anything to protect Batman.
"What's going on here?" asked Bruce coming into the parlor.
Derek rolled his and looked at him. They still were in bad terms on what happened a year ago. "Well, it seems, Mr. Wayne that you and your guests were robbed and Miss of the Rose was tied against her will by none other than Batman."
Bruce looked at Lily, which made her feel butterflies in her stomach just like before. "Well, I'm sorry Miss Rose."
Lily regained her composure and said, "Well, there's no need to because Batman did not harm me in anyway and I even forgive him for tying me up because I know what he did was noble."
"Robbery isn't noble," Bruce fired back.
Mario laughed inwardly seeing this. The girl has some sass.
"Please, there's no need for discussion. Miss, do you think you can accompany us to the police department and give us testimony," asked Derek.
"Don't you think she's had a rough night, Parker?" he asked angrily.
"I don't think that any of your business," snapped Lily. "And no Officer Parker I wouldn't mind," she said following him out the door.
Damn that woman is frustrating, he thought. But still very beautiful.
Diana was sitting in Bruce's bed in her white night gown, waiting for him to come. She sighed as he came from the bathroom in boxers. He smiled sweetly at her and pulled her to him.
"I'll try to make you the happiest woman on earth," he told her. In his mind, he was seeing Lily, with her big smile and beautiful brown eyes looking up at him. He leaned in trying to kiss her, but she moved her head.
"What's wrong?" he asked as he felt her tremble in his hands. "Oh, I know. You want me to treat you like a virgin." He said kissing her neck.
Diana started remembering what happened earlier today. Feeling Mario's disgusting hands over her body, kissing and licking. "NOOO!"
Diana pushed Bruce away from her, crying. "Don't touch me! Please don't touch me," she sobbed.
"Diana, what's wrong?"
"N-Nothing, Bruce. I just can't. I'm sorry. I can't," she said running out the room. Bruce thought she had gone crazy. Isn't this what she had always wanted? He sighed and went into bed. He turned his head and looked at the flowers next to him.
"Why, my beautiful flower? Why?"
