Previously, before chapter 24…

The security footage from that morning told the story in pieces, and it took some time before all the pieces fit together, enough to make sense.

A little after nine o'clock, Damian had walked into the company lobby, majestically, like he owned the place. He came to a halt abruptly, turning back. Within five minutes, he was back. He walked into Lily’s office, dropping his leather bag on her long desk. Then he opened her refrigerator in the other corner of the offic

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   IN THE ARMS THAT SAVED ME

    Lily’s POVThe steady, rhythmic beep... beep... beep... of a heart monitor was the first thing that anchored me back to reality. I forced my eyes open, the chandelier hanging from the stark white ceiling blurry at first, before the terrifying memory of the crash rushed back into my mind.Beside my bed, a man in a lab coat adjusted a drip. It was Dr. Evans, the chief physician from the hospital partnered with Adrian Atelier.“Ah, you're awake,” Dr. Evans said softly, checking my vitals. “You're a very lucky woman, Miss Lily.”Lucky? It didn't feel like luck, not with the clots of blood I could see on my hands and clothes.I looked at him in disbelief, almost annoyed at how relaxed he seemed.He continued anyway. “I hope you don't mind that your call was picked up on your behalf. You were deep in sleep.”I didn't say a word. I only let my eyes drift around the room. I could come back to that question later, but right now, the room itself looked too familiar to ignore. Like it belonged t

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   FOR THE LOVE OF LILY

    Damian’s POV“You can speak now,” I said, my voice tightening. He had almost gotten me into trouble, and that was nothing to overlook.“I have…”“Do I need to have your brains hit hard before it lets you figure out what to do right now?” I gritted my teeth, opening the car door and getting into the back seat.“Black & White Entertainment and Co. Limited, please,” I told the driver, adjusting the tie around my neck. He nodded before setting the car in motion immediately.“I’m so sorry, sir,” he responded. “I will be careful next time.”“There might be no next time because it looks like you would mess things up before then.”He didn’t say a word.“What’s the update with the order I gave you?” I asked.“Everything is set. You can start acting on it now.”I ended the call, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips. I couldn’t wait. I literally couldn’t wait to see her face afterward.I ran my fingers through my hair, reminding myself that I needed to do this. Because somehow, I had been f

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   Terrific As It Sounds

    Adrian’s POV I had sighed for what seemed like a million times while I thought about how stupid I must have looked, right in front of her, and even Damian. How stupid of me to think there might be some connection between her and Gary, or even Kathryna. They died five years ago. I knew about it. I saw their bodies with my own eyes, so there wasn’t supposed to be any possibility of someone suddenly appearing who could spike my memories and make me want to think they were them. “Might be some kind of mix-up, or even a coincidence,” I thought out loud, pacing around my office. I felt suffocated enough that all I could think of was going outside for fresh air. I hadn’t been sleeping well lately, and somehow, I still hadn’t made peace with Damian’s involvement with Lily. I didn’t know which bothered me more, the fact that he was dating Lily, or the fact that he came from Gary’s family, and I knew how much he cherished that family, and Kathryna. He could easily be planning to get back at

    Previously, before chapter 24…The security footage from that morning told the story in pieces, and it took some time before all the pieces fit together, enough to make sense.A little after nine o'clock, Damian had walked into the company lobby, majestically, like he owned the place. He came to a halt abruptly, turning back. Within five minutes, he was back. He walked into Lily’s office, dropping his leather bag on her long desk. Then he opened her refrigerator in the other corner of the office, finding it empty. He rubbed his temples, shut the fridge, and left.After a few minutes, Damian walked into Lily’s office. He was carrying a small, sealed catering tray. Inside it was a glass bottle filled with a deep red drink as well as two glasses. His face showed nothing out of the ordinary as he set them in the middle of her desk. Then he opened the door and pulled it shut behind him, walking down the quiet hallway outside the executive offices. He stepped into the media room across the

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   ALMOST

    Lily’s POVMy legs lost balance as soon as Adrian left my office. I felt my fingers go cold as I grabbed at my neck, gasping for air. This was the second time in five years I'd run into trouble with the allergy that runs deep in my family. Lingonberry juice was the drink that had nearly wiped all of us out one Sunday, long before Adrian did what he did.Damian rushed over to me, his eyes carrying so much fear. I couldn't speak. I was wheezing. The drink had already started circulating through my body, threatening to drain the life out of me, but I managed to point at my bag, hanging on the coat stand.He lowered my head gently and bolted for it.After what felt like hours, he came back to where I lay on the ground, helping me sit up, his arm supporting my neck as my body sank against his. He pulled out the prescribed auto-injector and pressed it into my outer thigh. I gasped at the sting, drawing in air before I collapsed back into his arms.A few seconds later, my eyes snapped open,

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   WORSE OF ALL

    Adrian’s POVMy fingers almost turned white as they tightened around the pulpit at hearing the last question. Those questions were exactly what I expected, but I had thought the tech team did a good job keeping away those kinds of questions that could make the company trend again for the wrong reasons.At this point I was getting more irritated. The cycle of fixing everything about the stock, watching it drop again, and working to sort it out again, the dread of that loomed and made me more irritated and angrier. Ellyn noticed this because she walked up to me, whispering in my ear that I didn't have to answer. But I had to. I needed to. Especially because Lily, who had been deeply immersed in her phone earlier on, now had her full attention on me.“What a way to get your attention,” I said to myself mentally, weirdly grateful to the journalists who had asked those questions. It was like they were seeing me falter in front of everyone around the globe just because some twenty-two-year-

  • Don’t Make Me Love You   Aftermath

    Lily’s POVI woke up to beeping sounds I could not make out. My eyes felt too heavy to open all at once, but I forced them apart slowly and looked around. Strange faces I had never seen moved to and fro at every corner of the room. The air smelled of antiseptic and medicine. That smell gave me a sm

    Lily’s POV“You missed work today, ma’am?” Charles asked as he shut the door behind him. He walked into my room, holding the file I had requested earlier.“I called in sick,” I replied, grabbing the file from his hands and opening it quickly. It contained detailed information about Adrian’s whereab

    Lily’s POVI was walking down the company’s lobby, heading toward the logistics department, when I stumbled upon a chaotic scene. People were scattered everywhere. Some stood with their phones raised, recording, while others whispered quickly, passing gossip like it was fresh bread from the oven.

    Lily’s POV“Sir…” I whispered, but he didn’t let me finish. His lips crashed against mine again, harder this time, and his hands slid under my dress. My back hit the cold wall of the stall, and I shivered from the way he was touching me.He spun me around and bent me over, my palms landing on the w
