Lilith’s Pov

I kept waiting.

Pacing around the hallway, checking the time every five minutes. Opening Killian’s bedroom door, hoping he'd be lying there… but no. It was empty and cold Like he never planned to come home.

I called him. Again. And again.

No answer.

I texted.

Nothing.

Not a single reply.

Was it the kiss? Was I that disgusting to him? That one moment of weakness, of confusion—did it push him that far away? I didn’t mean for it to happen… I didn’t even plan it.

Was I that unlovable?

Tears threatened to build in my eyes, but I blinked them back. I didn’t want to cry again. Not tonight. I crawled into bed, burying my face into the pillow, trying to breathe.

He’ll be back tomorrow, I told myself.

He has to.

****

Morning came.

But he didn’t.

The first thing I did was check my phone. Still no messages from him. Just one from Emily:

“I'll be back with Maya this morning.”

I sighed. At least that was something.

I decided today was going to be different. I deserved peace, even for j

    Lilith’s Pov I stood there, frozen. My ears heard the words, but my mind refused to accept them.Disowned?My father—my own blood—just said he has disowned me.“You… you can’t do that to me, Dad,” I said, my voice cracking, barely more than a whisper. “I need you right now. You’re the only family I have. I don’t have anyone else to turn to.”He stepped closer, his face hard and unforgiving. “You only care about yourself, Lilith. That’s all it’s ever been. Now my wife is dead. Because of you.”“No!” I gasped. Tears fell freely now. “She shouldn’t have done that. If she knew the truth, she wouldn’t have killed herself. Not for nothing—”“For nothing?” he thundered. “Did you just call your sister’s death nothing?”“You don’t know the truth!” I shouted, the pain bubbling out of my chest. “None of you do! You all keep blaming me, and if the truth ever comes out—none of you will point fingers again!”My father began to clap slowly. Clap. Clap. Clap.“Oh, now you’re trying to rewrite the st

    Lilith’s PovThe old me would have reacted. She would’ve lashed out. Maybe screamed, maybe cried, maybe thrown something across the room just to feel something other than this awful stillness. But now? Now there was only silence.I stood there, staring at him—this man I once thought I could hate more than anyone else. He looked so sure of himself, like his words didn’t just punch through my chest.I took a slow step forward, and then another. I stopped inches from him, my voice low, almost whispering. “Is that what you want, Killian? To keep me close?”He didn’t answer. Not a flinch. Not a blink. Just that cold, unreadable stare.“Fine,” I said simply.And then I turned and walked away—back to my room, back to where I could break without him watching.I didn’t want him to see how vulnerable I was. How every word he threw at me tonight cut deeper than the last. How I wanted to scream. How I wanted to shout and tear this whole place down just to feel like I mattered again.But I kept wa

    Killian’s PovAfter I finished taking my bath, I didn’t go downstairs right away. I sat at my desk instead. Maybe working would help me clear my head. Maybe I could bury myself in files and forget what just happened between me and Lilith.I opened my laptop. Checked my emails. Looked through some documents. But my mind wasn’t fully there. I kept pausing, thinking, going back. I worked for like an hour or so before I finally stood up and decided to go downstairs for breakfast.As I walked toward the stairs, my eyes shifted in the direction of her room. I wondered if she had already left for her father's place. She said she wanted to go. Maybe she was serious.But when I got downstairs, there she was.Lilith.Sitting there, eating breakfast.And Nolan was sitting too, not close to her, but in the same space.I paused for a second.Nolan and I nodded at each other. Just a silent greeting.But my eyes were on Lilith. She didn’t even look my way.Her face looked calmer. Her eyes were clear

    Nolan’s PovShe was asleep.Right there on my couch, her head tilted slightly, her fingers curled loosely over her lap, breathing slow and peaceful like she didn’t just walk into the home of a man who drugged her wine.What the hell have I done?I kept asking myself. Over and over.Why?Why did I do it?I wasn’t supposed to.I told myself I just wanted to see her like this—still, calm, soft. I told myself it was harmless. I told myself I wouldn’t do anything beyond watching her.But even that felt wrong. It was wrong.I should’ve let her go. I should’ve stopped myself. But I didn’t. And now here I was, standing in front of her, frozen.Madness.I bent down, gently picked her up in my arms. She didn’t stir. Her head rested against my chest like it belonged there.This is wrong, Nolan.But I didn’t stop.I carried her to the guest room downstairs, the one with the white sheets and soft lighting. The one that felt like her.I laid her on the bed, then just stood there, staring like some

    Lilith’s PovThe door slammed behind Killian and silence filled the room.I just sat there. Staring.No more crying. I already promised myself that. I wasn't going to let tears win today.But no matter how hard I tried to stop thinking, my mind went back… to the way he kissed my hand. The way his body pressed against mine. I felt him. All of him. And now it’s stuck in my head, playing on repeat.But no. I needed answers. Maya and Emily. What was that stunt for?I got up and searched the house. No sign of them. My phone wasn’t with me either, which was annoying. So I walked straight to my room.And there they were.On the bed.Laughing like nothing happened.I folded my arms. “Why did you guys do that?”I looked directly at Emily. “I didn’t expect this from you. Why are you teaming up with her now? It’s supposed to be us.”Emily sat up, guilty smile on her face. “Oh my god, I’m sorry, baby. I just… switched sides for a little bit. Maya opened my eyes, okay? She means well—for both of y
