INICIAR SESIĂNLilyâs POVThe event was going smoothly until we had an uproar from outside the palace. Darius stood up immediately and walked towards the exit of the event hall. The noise grew louder as Darius went outside the hall. The crowd began to murmur amongst themselves as they all wondered what was happening. I could see the confusion written on their faces. âWhat do you think the problem is?â Amaya asked, confusion written on her face as well. âI have no idea whatâs happening,â I replied, my eyes scanning the crowns for some clue. I waited for Darius to return but I didnât see him after some minutes. Suddenly, I heard the sound of glasses being shattered and I stood up from my seat immediately. I knew at that moment that all was not well, I became scared when Darius didnât return on time. Lucien ran in after a few seconds and began to scream. âRun for your lives! We have been attacked.â He screamed.I could see blood stains on his clothes as he walked towards me. My heart missed a be
Authorâs POV It was the day of the event and the palace bustled with people. The sun shone brightly on Lilyâs face making her skin glow differently. Everyone had something to do including the guards and the maids. Lily walked gracefully with her beautiful glowing flowing behind her to the event hall. Everyone was stunned by her beauty and elegance. Her beautiful gown accentuated her fine shape and the event hall lightened up immediately when she entered.Her presence in the hall wasnât one that could be ignored, she drew everyoneâs attention with her graceful steps as she strode towards the chair that was already arranged for her. The chair was placed next to Dariusâ chair; he had ordered the guards to arrange the chairs that way. He was speaking with Lucien, his most trusted guard. He was so engrossed in the conversation that he didnât know that Lily was standing behind him. He almost lost his balance when his eyes met Lilyâs when he finally turned back. âOh my goddess, you are
Lily's POVâWhere are you going?â Darius asked as I stood up from the couch and began to walk out of the chambers. âIâm heading to my room,â I answered without turning back to look at him. I had already had enough, I couldnât wait any longer. I just wanted to be in my room.âAre you okay, Lily?â He asked again, I was sure he noticed the pain in my voice. âIâm fine,â I replied sharply. I couldnât believe Darius was seriously asking me if I was okay after what the chief had just revealed. I walked back to my room with a heavy heart, my legs felt weak as I climbed the stairs. I was still trying to process what the chief maid had said. I couldnât believe that the chief maid could collaborate with Selene after everything she had done. She was well aware of the way Selene had attempted to kill me countless times but she failed. The news that shocked me more was Alpha Malik helping Selene to escape from the palace. I wondered what the hell they were planning. It was obvious to the bl
Dariusâ POVI pondered over what I had planned to tell Lily. She had declined once and I was sure she was going to do the same again. I decided to summon the courage and ask her anyway. That was the only way I thought I could save our relationship from crumbling. âIâm sorry for everything that has been happening lately.â The atmosphere in the room was tense. âThat was an uncomfortable way to start my conversation,â I thought to myself. I realized that I had just made things more awkward between us. She smiled weakly without saying anything. âI have not been myself lately, Lily. Iâm not comfortable with the fact that you have been avoiding me since Selene escaped from the palace.â I started. I didnât expect her to give up on us so easily because of the asshole. I had missed her so much, I find myself thinking about her every time. âIâm sorry, my lord. I was overwhelmed by everything that happened. Iâm scared of what Selene might do next, my lord.â She mumbled with a shaky voice.
Lilyâs POVI couldn't concentrate on buying the things I went to the market to get. Amaya kept tapping me to get my attention whenever payment needed to be made. I had planned to go far away from Darius and Selene so that they could have a happy life together. I was sure that Selene would never stop until she got what she wanted.I tried my best to take my mind off Darius but I couldn't, the more I tried to push him off my mind the more my heart got attached to him.âIs this okay, my lady?â Amayaâs voice interrupted my thoughts. âYes, thatâs fine.â I replied flippantly. âWe have got all the items on the list, my lady. The guards will be here very soon to take them to the palace.â Amaya said. I had planned to evade the palace without Dariusâ knowledge after the memorial service of his parents. I wanted to pay them one last respect before leaving even though they never treated me with respect. They had also supported Selene to be Dariusâ Luna. They were not convinced that a weaklin
Authorâs POV The vibe between Darius and Lily diminished slowly after Selene escaped from the palace. Lily woke up that morning with a slight headache, she had planned to go the market the day before. The palace had been bustling with people moving up and down in anticipation for the upcoming memorial service of Dariusâ parent.Darius had instructed her to handle and watch over all the meals that would be cooked after th chief mad had been confirmed to be the one behind the guard who was poisoned and Seleneâs escape. The chief maid had been locked up for days and Darius had also planned to make her confess to him. She had bluntly refused to tell him who had sent her to help Selene escape. It was as though she had sworn an oath that she wouldn't disclose the person who had sent her. A knock sounded on Lilyâs door suddenly and she took her gaze to the wall clock. She looked surprised when she discovered that she had over slept. Lily had planned to the market with Amaya. âCome in,â
