Even though it was already midnight, Mykel hastily dressed while Lily watched. Neither of them spoke, both feeling nervous and excited about the discovery. After Mykel finished dressing, he faced Lily. Without saying a word, he kissed Lily on the forehead, surprising and delighting her."After this fight, we will start anew," Mykel declared. Lily nodded and smiled. Mykel sealed his words with a gentle kiss until they both ran out of breath."I will go now," Mykel said, which Lily agreed to. Lily accompanied Mykel until he reached the door."Take care," Lily said to him. Mykel left immediately to accomplish his mission that night. Meanwhile, Lily went to sleep. A whole day passed without Mykel coming home. Lily felt hesitant to message him, afraid of disturbing him. When Lily woke up the next day, Mykel was still not by her side. So, she spent the whole day watching television.By noon, her attention was immediately captured by a news report on television.“In today's breaking news, au
Six years later…Mykel drank with Clyde at a well-known bar. It was not the first time he drowned himself in alcohol to forget about Lily. He was deeply frustrated with himself for his impulsive actions back then. Since Lily disappeared, all he did was search for her. He practically combed the whole world to find her, but until now, he still has not found her.Two women approached them. Both of them sat on their laps. Clyde immediately smiled and hugged the woman sitting on him. Meanwhile, Mykel gave a sharp look to the woman on his lap, making her feel uneasy, but she did not back down."Get off me or you will pay for it," Mykel spoke with a deep and authoritative voice.Instead of standing up, the woman smiled and took Mykel's statement as a challenge."Then, make me pay, Mr. Frost," the woman replied with a flirtatious tone.Without saying a word, Mykel promptly stood up, causing the woman to fall from his lap and shout in pain. People glanced in their direction, and Clyde chuckled
Lily Gray stood up and savored the moment as she walked towards the stage. It was her last chance to participate in the Fastematics contest, as it was her final year in college, and as usual, she secured first place again this year. As she stepped onto the stage, her classmates erupted in applause and cheers, celebrating her victory. She received the medal around her neck and shook hands with everyone on the stage. She could no longer count on her fingers how many times this had happened in her life. As those who knew her would say, she was an overachiever. “Lily is truly perfect. How can a girl like her exist?” A man from the crowd asked his seatmate. Later, they both giggled. Because of her exceptional intelligence and beauty, it was no wonder that many men were enamored with her. Standing at 5’8” tall, her naturally well-shaped body is evident. She has mesmerizing eyes that seem to speak and reject her from trying to hide her emotions. She has a high nasal bridge and prominent, we
After setting the table, they started eating and continued talking. Lily had her first bite of beef Wellington when her mother shifted the subject to Kevin."How is Kevin?" Mrs. Gray asked with a smile playing on her lips."We are done, Mom," she answered straightforwardly while focusing on her food."What? Why?" Mrs. Gray asked."He cheated on me," the young woman said to her mother, looking down. She noticed her father's clenched fist, showing his anger."Are you OK, honey?" Mr. Gray had asked."I am fine, Dad." Although hurt, Lily had chosen to be happy so as not to upset her parents. Her mother had reached out and gently stroked her hand."You are still young, honey, you will find someone who will love you until the end," her mother said, offering comfort and hope. Lily smiled at them.“Don’t worry, Mom. I will be fine,” she replied. Reassured, Mrs. Gray let go of her hand."Anyway, your graduation will be in two months from now. We will have a big party, OK?" Mr. Gray said. Lily
Lily looked at Mykel and bowed in embarrassment."I am sorry for dragging you into this, Mr. Frost. I just really want him to leave and stop bothering me," Lily said, but Mykel just looked at her."Anyway, thank you for saving me," Lily added."I did not save you. I was trying to get on his nerves," he bluntly replied, causing her to nod. She did not understand why she seemed disappointed with Mykel's answer."Still, thank you. Anyway, we are going now," Lily said, turning to Allison. Allison nodded, indicating their agreement to leave. As Lily was about to turn away, Mykel quickly grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him. Lily was startled but could not react, distracted by the fragrant breath she smelled. His hands were gently holding her, and she could not understand what she was feeling. She felt as if she was floating in the clouds from his hold, a sensation she had never experienced before in her life.“But you are my date tonight,” he said, surprising her."I just got car
Lily hurried home after settling the matter. Upon arriving, she immediately prepared to study. She was sitting in her study chair when she heard her cell phone beep. She opened it and saw a message from Kevin.Kevin: Why does it have to be him? You know he’s my rival.Unnoticed by Lily, her tears suddenly started to fall. She felt she had wasted her time on someone like Kevin, who was manipulative and a cheater. Minutes passed, and she continued to cry. However, she did not reply to him. She let him think whatever he wanted. Her attention shifted when her phone beeped again. This time, it was an unknown number popping up.Unknown Number: Are you free tomorrow?Lily raised an eyebrow at the message. She never replied to unknown numbers, so she ignored it and focused on studying until ten o'clock. Later, she went downstairs to drink water. Entering the kitchen, she noticed a man with his back turned. She recognized it was his father drinking water."Dad?" she called. Her father turned a
Lily stood transfixed, staring at the towering building of M&B Construction Co. She did not want to return there, not wanting to encounter Kevin, but she was there for Mykel. Taking a deep breath, she started walking inside the building. She felt the stares of people around her, probably aware of her recent split with Kevin. She got into the elevator and this time headed straight to the floor where Mykel's office was located."I'm sorry ma'am, but we don't allow visitors without an appointment," the secretary told her. Lily felt as if all the pain from when she caught Kevin cheating on her resurfaced. She cleared her throat to adjust her voice."Can you tell him it's Lily Gray? He's expecting me to come," Lily said to the secretary. The secretary nodded and quickly went into the office. Soon after, the secretary got out with a smile."Please come in, ma'am," said the secretary."Thanks," Lily replied with a smile in return.She entered the office and the first thing she noticed was ho
As anticipation lingered in the air, she found herself meticulously preparing for the upcoming date. Time seemed to slow down, each passing moment carrying the weight of expectation. Choosing the perfect outfit, she looked at herself in the mirror. Glancing at the time on her cell phone, she realized that she only had forty-five minutes left. She hurriedly finished getting ready. The countdown added a subtle thrill to the air as she readied herself for the anticipated date. He exited the room and went straight to the garage, entering his car. He headed to their dating place. His first date was named Patrick Alvarez. Mr. Alvarez was the CEO of an architectural firm in their area.Lily arrived at the dating place ten minutes before the agreed-upon time. For the last time, she checked her reflection on her cell phone and quickly got out of the car. Upon entering the establishment, her date, Mr. Alvarez, was already there, so she greeted him promptly."Hi," she said and immediately gave h
