It's been fifteen days and Nik hasn't come back. Lily never asked Kai about Nik and Kai too did speak about Nik to Lily. Moreover, he stayed in the car in the parking itself as Mr. Revon Gorgon was so particular about him not coming into the campus and staying outside the classroom. So, with nothing left to do, he asked Hannah and Bryce to contact him immediately if anything happened. It was like any other day for Lily, she came to class and was looking into a new topic, as the teacher was a bit late. "Did you hear this? The Cooper family helped the Denholm from getting bankrupt. It's all over the news." Lily turned into a statue to hear that news. She immediately took her phone and checked. There was a video, she hurriedly connected her earphones and played the video. It looked like a press conference. "With are happy to announce our partnership with Cooper. Well, Mr. Niklaus Cooper is on a business trip, so he couldn't attend." A man in his forties said and all the media people
[1 AM] Lily sat on the bed, looking into some educational videos. She wanted to see Nik and then go to sleep. 'Why is he not coming yet? Shouldn't he be coming by this time? Is the flight late? Doesn't he have his own plane? Then where is he? Will he ring the bell or use the key with security? If he opens the main door by himself, it won't look good if I come outside immediately," she thought, took her laptop, walked to the hall and sat on the sofa. 'Will it look like I am waiting for him?' she again felt. "Ah!!" She again walked back to the bedroom, got a blanket and pounced on the sofa. "I will sleep when he comes." She nodded to herself and felt it would be good if she could hack the phone's GPS. "Maybe I should first learn to hack!" Time passed, and Lily kept yawning and rubbing her eyes while watching the screen. 'Is he coming today or not?' She ran her fingers through her hair and formed a bun in frustration. She looked at the clock, showing '3.05' and sighed for the hundredt
"So, where should I have the party?" Hannah pouted and both walked to the class. "Surprise!" Bryce showed up with a square-shaped medium-sized box. "Happy birthday my dear friend! Here is your gift!" He screamed and gave it to Hannah. Hannah put on a fake smile and gazed at her friend with wet eyes. "WOW! You are crying! You must be touched by the gift!" Bryce pulled her into a hug and patted her. "You will love it when you open the gift!" He patted and said in excitement. "How can I propose to him? Where can I propose to him?" Hannah sobbed and Bryce immediately pushed her away. "I thought of giving a party to you guys at Lily's house and also propose Kai at that time. But now, where can I give my birthday party? Where can I propose to him?" she cried, putting her head up and looking at the ceiling so that her makeup doesn't get spoiled because of her tears. Bryce felt dejected when neither he nor his gift was given importance. But he couldn't see Hannah in tears on her birthday
"Kai, I am taking my wife. Take care of your..." he paused and looked at Hannah who was smiling and comfortably sitting on Kai's lap. "Lover!" Hannah said with a wide smile. "Thanks! Your lover and her friend!" Nik mocked Kai. He then patted Lily's shoulder, "Lily, shall we go home?" "Mmm .." Lily moaned. She woke up and glanced at Nik. "Nik," she called like a kid. "What?" He too came near her cutely. "Did you wish Hannah? It's her birthday today," she said in a childish voice. "Happy birthday Hannah!" Nik wished and gave a handshake. "Won't you give any wish to my friend?" Lily pouted. And Nik couldn't help but pinch her cheeks. "Hannah, what do you want as a gift?" "Are you sure that you can give me?" Hannah muttered, hugging Kai with one hand and the other dancing in the air as she fumbled over her words. "Of course, I am the richest man in the state. Just tell me what you want." Nik asked, folding his sleeves in confidence. "I want Kai as Lily's bodyguard for two
"Why are you here?" Lily screamed."Where should I be?" Nik groaned in pain.Lily looked around, "Why am I in this room?" she screamed again.Nik sighed and closed his ears, "Can you stop shouting? Kai is bringing Hannah and Bryce.""What?" she again shouted.Nik puffed like a pufferfish, stood up, "You keep shouting, I am going!" and then he walked out. He was already frustrated with the call from Lily's mother and the new guests, so he didn't want to be in an argument with Lily and tire himself.Lily jumped out of the bed and groaned, catching her head. "Why did I drink?" she sighed, rotated her neck in pain and walked lethargically out. As she came to the hall, Kai walked in with Hannah in his arms and a bodyguard came in with Bryce on his shoulders. "Where shall I put her?"Nik looked at Lily, "Where will you sleep?""That room," Lily pointed to the guest room."Put her in the guest room. They both will sleep. And put Bryce in the master bedroom." As they were about to walk, Nik
Lily looked at Nik in confusion. "What did I do?" "Didn't I tell you not to speak?" Nik growled and glared at Lily. "Please don't!" he took a deep breath and requested. Thompson sneered and shook his head. "Fine! I just... came to say that you have to attend Denholm's press meet today." "Why? Why? Why would I? You purchased the stocks in your name. You are the stockholder. How is all of it related to me?" "Because you are a Cooper." Nik sighed and pinched his lips. He felt it was completely ridiculous. Firstly, the stocks were brought without his notice and now, his father wants him to attend a press conference with them. "Then you can attend. You are also a Cooper, aren't you?" "Nik!" Thompson roared. And Bryce and Hannah, who were in deep sleep jerked and woke up. They came out to the rooms, to ensure that everything was fine between the couple. "Who are they?" Thompson fumed. Lily glanced at Nik without opening her mouth, just as Nik wanted. "They are Lily's friends," Nik
Kai, Hannah and Bryce started to a beach near Meyers mansion. Nik and Lily decided to check the bridge that Lily was about to jump on a few months back.On the way, Lily made sure that she doesn't look at Nik and kept her whole concentration on the road. The five minutes journey was like an hour to her, because of the tension. She was frightened of her sister and was also worried about what Nik thought about her.Their marriage was just an agreement and she was tensed that Nik could think bad of her. 'Will he think that I a money-minded person? Will he think that an unstable person?'Nik on the other side didn't understand what was going on in his life. What his father said was true, he has changed. He decided to do a contract marriage so that he wouldn't get involved in emotions and stuff. But that's what was happening since he got into the false married. As the love problem wasn't sufficient, Lily's whole family was making him go through various stuff. He felt that once a problem wa
Lily immediately turned to Nik. It was not even ten minutes ago, that they got together and expressed their love for each other. She was worried how Nik might take it seriously, when in fact she actually forgot about the ring. She did keep the ring as a remembrance, but at present, she has zero effection towards Drake. However, what can she do? She can't prove that to Ember and Nik."Really! Did you still keep the ring I gave you?" Drake muttered at the wrong place and situation. His eyes looked curious and filled with love.Ember got enraged to hear that. "What did you just say? Didn't you say that you want to start with me again?" She fumed at Drake and then glared at Lily, "Why did you come here? Why do you want to spoil my life? Is Nik not enough for you?"Lily's heart clenched to see Ember cry and those striking words made her whin. She didn't want Ember to be with Drake, but the situation has become such a way that her good opinion and suggestion were no longer visible. While sh
