~Bastian's POV~

She was here. Ellara and Sofia. They looked so happy and peaceful. If I hadn’t failed them, this is how they were supposed to be, filled with happiness when they were with me.

I trailed after them through the wild field of sunflowers and lilies, the air fragrant with their scent, fresh and unpolluted. It was clean. It was refreshing.

An overwhelming sense of peace washed over me. I had finally left it all behind. I could finally rest, rest from the guilt, the pain, the hurt, and the failures. My parents, my sins, my regrets, it was all behind me now. That was a good thing. That’s what I should have been thinking.

So why was my peace being interrupted by the green-eyed, red-haired spitfire I left behind? Would she be fine? No, I didn’t think she would. Knowing Lilith, she would blame herself.

I had heard her crying, soaking me with her tears, yet I couldn’t open my eyes. My eyelids were too heavy. No matter how hard I tried to move, I was stuck.

  • Craving Daddy's Bestfriend    Chapter 57: Are you ready?

    ~Beatrice's POV~I was sitting in the lawyer's office when my phone started ringing non-stop. The first call was from my assistant."Madam, you need to see the news," she said, her voice shaking. "It's about Lilith."My blood went cold. Those bastards! "What about her?""Turn on Channel 7. Right now."I grabbed the remote and turned on the TV in the lawyer's office. What I saw made me feel sick.There was a picture of my daughter on the screen. The headline read: "POLITICIAN'S DAUGHTER ARRESTED FOR MURDER."The news reporter was talking fast. "Twenty- two-year-old Lilith Morrell, daughter of politician Beatrice Romano, has been arrested for the murder of Jessica Williams. The victim was a maid who worked for the wealthy Lockhart family."I felt like I couldn't breathe. This was happening too fast."The murder took place at the old pier last night. Police found strong evidence linking Miss Morrell to the crime," the reporter continued.Then they showed a picture of me. "Her mother, Be

  • Craving Daddy's Bestfriend    Chapter 56: Murder

    ~Lilith's POV~I woke up to the sound of my phone buzzing. The room was still dark. I looked at the clock. It was 3 AM.Who would be texting me this late?I picked up my phone and saw a message from an unknown number. My heart stopped at first until when I read it.~"Miss Lilith, this is Jelly. I have something very important to tell you about Mrs. Ellana's death. I think I found evidence. Meet me at the old pier at 4 AM. Come alone. This is dangerous but you need to know the truth."~Jelly? This late?I sat up in bed, my mind racing. Why would Jelly contact me? And what evidence could she have about Ellana's death? Could this be another trap? Another message came through.~"Miss Lilith, I'm sending you some pictures. Look at them carefully. Mrs. Lucy and Mr. Alfonso killed Mrs. Ellana. I have proof. I was there that night. I am finally willing to submit all the evidence since I am working for you now."~My hands were shaking as I opened the pictures. The first one showed Ellana's ca

  • Craving Daddy's Bestfriend    chapter 55: I am too old for you.

    ~Beatrice's POV~I was still staring at my phone, my hands shaking as I remembered that horrible night thirteen years ago. Rebecca's cruel message. Those pictures. The way my world had fallen apart in that moment.The pain was still fresh, even after all these years. The betrayal. The humiliation that followed consistently after. The way Marcus had chosen her and not even Lilith. And now, he is acting and protraying himself as the saint and I the evil one."What are you thinking so hard about that you didn't notice when I entered your room?"Thomas's voice pulled me from my dark thoughts. I quickly put my phone face down on the nightstand, my heart jumping."Nothing," I said dismissively, not looking at him.How long had he been standing there? How much had he seen? I felt exposed, vulnerable and he didn't have to do anything at all, that's how much of a chokehold he had me on.Thomas didn't say anything at first. He just walked toward the bed and sat down. I could feel his eyes on me

  • Craving Daddy's Bestfriend    Chapter 54: July 14th.

    ~Beatrice's POV~I silently entered my daughter's room. Looked at her sleeping face. Looked a face that looked exactly mine when I was her age. She had her my eyes and her father's red hair just like Thomas.I sat closed to her and gently rub on her face. I had wanted to just let everything go. Forget I ever had a daughter after all, I have hurt her so much. I hated myself and how I lost myself after the betrayal of Marcus." I am sorry, my sweet girl. I am so sorry. I am only trying to protect you and myself. I am sorry for letting my rage for the Lockharts hurt you. But, I swear, I was only saving you," I whispered in between tears.I stood up, not wanting my tears to fall on her and wake her up. I wish I had been around and not let her get involve with Bastian. I wish Marcus wasn't such a foolish man and he had actually protected his daughter.I closed Lilith's bedroom door softly and walked to my own room. My hands were still shaking from everything that had happened tonight. The

  • Craving Daddy's Bestfriend    Chapter 53: I chased him.

    ~Lilith's POV~"Watch out!" I screamed.The sound of a gunshot filled the air. Then everything went quiet.I saw Uncle Thomas fall to the ground. Blood was spreading across his shirt. The man with the gun was also down, but I couldn't see him properly."No, no, no!" I screamed.Without thinking, I broke my promise. I jumped out of the car and ran toward Uncle Thomas. My legs felt weak. My chest was tight. I couldn't breathe properly.I fell to the ground beside him, crying so hard I could barely see."Uncle Thomas! Please don't die! Please!" I sobbed.My hands were shaking. My heart was beating so fast it hurt. I felt like I was drowning. Like the world was spinning too fast.This was all my fault. If I hadn't been so stupid about Sebastian's text messages, Uncle Thomas would be safe. He would be alive."I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry," I kept saying over and over.I couldn't catch my breath. Everything felt fuzzy and far away. My chest was so tight I thought I might die too.Then I

  • Craving Daddy's Bestfriend    Chapter 52: Watch out!

    ~Lilith's POV~The text message made my whole world stop.~Lilith, are you good?~It was from Sebastian. My hands started shaking as I stared at the screen."Lilith?" Uncle Thomas's voice seemed far away. "Are you okay?"I shook my head, still looking at my phone like it might disappear. Another message came through.~Lilith, where are you?~Uncle Thomas walked over to me. "What's wrong?" It sounded shook and worried but that didn't make me to lift my eyes from my phone.I couldn't speak. I just held up my phone so he could see the messages.His face changed completely when he saw Sebastian's name. He took the phone from my trembling hands and read the messages."Is it possible for him to be awake, Uncle?" I asked. The question was racing through my mind over and over. "Could Sebastian really be texting me?" I didn't want to think of any other possibility. I sincerely miss him deeply. So bad, my heart aches just at the mention of his name. "It's possible, Lilith," Thomas said slowly
