Lily shook her face out of his grip. "Roman I'm sorry but I can't. I just can't keep doing this. You lied to me not once, not twice, how do you expect me to believe whatever you have to say?" She attempted to stand on her feet but failed due to the excruciating pain she felt in her foot.
Roman crouched so he could lift her up but she wouldn't let him. He shook his head at her, knowing he wasn't leaving her here to drown in pain.
"You might not want to talk to me but you are hurt and you need my help. I'm not going to leave you on your own injured, there's no point fighting it." With that, he picked her up and led her back to the shed. Cassie was not waiting inside by the time they got there and Lily sighed in relief. She couldn't deal with both their presence but it was better Roman than Cassie.

Roman was already awake by the time Lily sat up in bed. She was tired and exhausted. They'd had the most silent sex last night and Lily could only think of what next she had to do."I want to go home now." She stated, not turning to look at him. She feared that meeting his eyes would force her to change her mind but she really needed the space to think.Roman nodded and got to his feet, "I'll wait for you outside, you can clean up and get ready in-""No, I want to leave now." She shook her head at him."Alright." His voice was low and he sounded just as tired as she was. She wondered if he'd had any sleep at all. She didn't want to care but she hoped that he got enough rest.Roman helped her to the passenger seat and got on his side.Lily sighed, bracing herself for another moment of silence. It was going to hurt her ears but she couldn't bring herself

Lily clicked the send button. It really was like any other afternoon. Her students were busy working on a class assignment and she had decided to pass the time by scrolling through the Weber app. What other way to stalk her old classmates than on one of the world's biggest social media platforms. She had to know if they were doing better than her.Martha was now a fashion designer, Kelsey was a stay at home mom with three children. Lily's mom never let her hear the end of it. 'You should have your own children soon.' She would cry.The only different thing about today was how while scrolling through her feed, the most random thing had popped up.'Click here to apply to be Roman Dalmain's wife.'"What?" She had chuckled.Roman Dalmain was one of four Dalmain children. Everyone knew who the Dalmains were. They owned multi millionaire brands and one of the world's largest retail websites, shopdalmain- where one could literally buy everything. [L

Lily placed her hand bag on her dressing table. Her cats were waiting by the door, as always. "Hi Sammie, Catrina." She greeted them and they followed her into her bedroom.She lived in a small apartment, in a block with five other tenants and no one got in one another's business.Her job as a middle school teacher was suitable for her. She couldn't be more-happier; that was a lie, she could.Making herself a meal of toast and eggs, she ran through her emails, waiting for her toast to be ready."When the first two were reminders of the teachers' meeting, she thought the third unread message was spam and was about to move it to the bin when the subject of the email caught her attention.'Congratulations, your application was approved.""But I didn't even apply for a job." She said to herself. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped after she read the body text. She had been selected as Roman's wife. She laughed in a shaky voice and shook h

Friday was finally here. It had been the longest three days for Lily.She was ready.No she wasn't.But she didn't put too much thought into it. Another lie, she completely did.She had taken a local bus, that was how much she could afford and while in the bus, someone had smeared her white gown with orange soda and that was when regretting her actions began.She had chosen the white shirt gown with the floral waist belt because it made her look 'rich.' It was expensive. 'Who sells clothes for a hundred dollars?' Mama Johnson had wondered.But here she was anyway.There was so much to do, and know. What type of questions would they ask her? She wondered as she stared at the building across from her.Her thoughts were disrupted when a splash from a puddle stained her dress.She shrieked in horror. The driver of the black range rover parked in front of her right away."Look what you've done!" She c

He felt her eyes on him and when their gazes locked, her soul left her body. This man was staring at her like he was a demon. He lacked emotions and intimidated her. She looked away and stared at her feet instead, as if they held so much importance."What do you mean send her in?" One of the men opposed. He looked way older than the other three and his hair was grey and thinning.Roman shrugged one shoulder, his eyes on Louise. "Do exactly as I say."Lily could not stop thinking about how she had spent the last few days on the internet, searching through this man's profile yet she had managed not to recognise him in their first encounter.To be fair, he looked like a completely different person in that white shirt and black shorts.Louise clearly took Roman's words, and left the room to do just as she had been told.Lily wished she hadn't left because now her anxiety was rising above the charts. Taking the details of the office i

"I think there's a mistake." Kim stood to her feet sharply. "I'm Kim!""Why would you choose this woman, she clearly had nothing to say, what has gotten into you?" His father banged his hand against the table aggressively."I got this email, I was supposed to get married to you! Are you just going to send me back like that?" Kim sounded like she was about to burst into tears."She's right. I don't understand how there was a mix up in the first place but sending her back is not the right option!" Their dad argued."I'll marry her then."Silence filled the air and everyone turned to look at the owner of the voice, Adrian.

"Your bedroom?" Lily looked around, wearing a look of confusion. Her face dropped in realisation, she was standing in his room."Oh my goodness, I'm not used to these halls yet so I-" she stopped, taking steps backwards after realising that he was taking steps towards her."Wh- what are you doing?" She swallowed."You didn't tell me the interview you were heading for was to be a wife." He said in a low bass voice."You didn't tell me you were the interviewer either." She tried to sound unaffected by his words but her voice was breaking her heart and deserting her.Something about him just seemed to terrify her. Was it his higher class? Or his expressionless

A knock on the door interrupted and Lily wondered what the hell had just happened.Roman pulled away slowly and cleared his throat before proceeding to speak, "come in." He called with a look of doubt on his face.It was another maid.Lily doubted she would be able to keep up with so many people."Your sister is here, sir." She announced.Roman shrugged. Emily was a celebrity. Not that the rest of them weren't famous, but she was in the entertainment industry and she was always away working."The whole family will be here for the wedding?" Lily wondered.
