Chapter Two

“David Gilbert is here tonight and he is talking to some people, trying to get investors,” Russell answered with seriousness in his old wrinkled face, the moment i heard what my old man said, I was on instant alert, i searched the room, spotting my enemy, he was the one who had made me the cut throat business man I had turned into.

“It is far too late for him, by tomorrow morning his company will be mine, no matter what he tries tonight,” I said with a sneer, the sound of David's name caused anger coursing through my vein.

As i watched David, a beautiful woman approached him, stepping up on her tip toes to kiss him on the cheek, david didn’t even bother to turn and acknowledge her, which she did not seem to notice, the man noticed nothing around him if it did not have dollar signs on it, not even his stunning daughter, my eyes narrowed to slits, I hadn’t seen Lilith for ten years and those years had been very good to her.

Her dress was skin tight on top, dipping low in both the front and back, her curves were even more pronounced now that her body had matured, she had dark hair, which was swept up in a classic bun, with tendrils floating around her delicate face.

Her dark brown eyes had once mesmerized me, they had a hypnotic quality, with their deceiving innocence shining through and the thick, dark lashes surrounding them.

I was angry at the tightening in my pant at just the sight of her, She had nearly destroyed me and yet I still wanted her, my full revenge included her though, so i would have her in my bed again and then she would be begging me not to leave when I was done with her.

“I’m leaving now father, he won’t make any progress tonight and tomorrow is a busy day for me, I appreciate you calling, though,” i said, then turned away and walked out of the room, without looking at my back.

Lilith Pov:

I spotted Finn across the room and my insides went up in flames, I narrowed my eyes in anger at the man as he walked around like he owned the place, i knew the kinder, gentler side of him but that boyish side was long gone, He may have never really existed beyond my imagination.

He was the boy who had taken my virginity and promised me forever, I thought back to that summer so many years ago, i had waited at the abandoned church all day hoping something bad had not happened to make him run late, when the sun had faded from the sky i had finally had to admit he wasn’t coming. It had all been lies.

I watched him now, as he turned and walked from the room, despite his back turned to everyone in the room, Finn was by far the sexiest man in the room, with his custom tuxedo and piercing blue eyes, He had a delectable body, even though he sat in an office all day, my heart fluttered, remembering those long summer nights of running my hands and tongue down those hard muscles.

I had no idea my world was about to flip upside down, I was soon to learn the man i thought of as my hero, my father, wasn’t who I really thought he was, this would truly be my last night of innocence, when morning came, nothing would ever be the same again.

As Finn disappeared around the corner, i couldn’t help but think back to the summer ten years ago, it had been a time when I had really believed in fairytales and magic. I had grown up very wealthy in the small town outside of Washington, my father owned a multi-million dollar company and i had always had more than most people could ever hope to.

My father had chosen our home in the small town, i had thought so I could live in a nicer area, I later learn my father really choosed to live there so he could be the big man on campus, he liked lording his wealth over all those around him but i didn’t know any of that then. I had been young and naïve, i had learnt in the next few months how much my father had kept from me.

My mother died during childbirth so I never known her, and my father never remarried, though he dated a lot of women, none of them really acknowledged my presence, in return i didn’t get attached to any of them, sometimes, i thought it would be nice to have a woman help me pick out a dress or teach me how to do my hair, the staffs was great and always spoiled me a bit, which irritated my father.
