Author's Pov"My poor daughter, you went so much on your own. " Amelia, Lily's mother said caressing her cheek as tears filled her eyes. Lily looked down not letting another tear out because of that man anymore. She wordlessly crawled forward burying her face in her mother's stomach as she hugged her tightly, "I am sorry mom, I disappointed you again." She whispered but this made her mother instantly peck her forehead holding her tightly in her arms."No, you didn't, it wasn't your fault, he just never deserved such a pure woman like you." Amelia caressed her head while Lily finally opened her bloodshot eyes looking up in her mother's soft ones."Really? You're not disappointed of I being so weak?" Amy sighed shaking her head."You're not weak my love, you're so strong that even when you were going through so much pain alone, you didn't break down, only strong person could handle such a pain with maturity like you did, I am so proud of you." Amelia said smiling through her tears as s
Author's PovLily frowned watching the packed luggage of hers as she laid leisurely on the bed, her eyes steadily went towards the ceiling feeling a weird burdened sensation engulfing her insides. She palmed her heart hearing its rapid throbbing, she bit her inner cheek blinking a few times. Something wasn't right.Lily had no idea what was wrong with her but the moment she finished packing her things, she had this weird feeling something like she shouldn't go back there, but finally accepting the fact that it was just because of what happened to her last time there made her feel this way. Brushing the creepy feeling away she tried closing her eyes to take a short nap only for her room's door getting softly knocked."Oh, Sis, come in please." Lily smiled watching her soon to be sister in law pushing her head in her room asking for her permission.Serenity smiled walking near her making Lily sit up as well, "How are you?" Lily nodded her head assuring her."I am good, I just missed you
Author's Pov"Cyril," The man laid there stirred in his sleep as the soft familiar voice pulled him back from the nightmare he was used to embracing before.His red hazel eyes slowly parted letting them meet the worried blue hued ones, her big ocean eyes stared down at him with an unfamiliar concern which he hadn't seen in anyones eyes for him before. She gently palmed his cheek caressing his beard jaw with her soft thumb. "Are you ok?" His eyelashes flickered at her question, was he OK? He had no idea, the man he had became today didn't hear these questions before so he couldn't come up with any answer as well.She leaned her chubby face closer to his not pausing the warmth from her thumb rubbing away his burdened heart, "Nightmare?" She whispered making the rigid man finally nod wordlessly bringing a small smile on her full lips."It's fine, it was just a dream nothing else." No it wasn't. Sometimes he also wished it was just a dream but it actually wasn't. He had lived those momen
Author's Pov"Lily," Liliana blinked coming out of her trance as she stepped back from the window turning around to face the person.She smiled softly watching her older brother standing there cladded in his casual clothes, his slightly wet hair indicated that man just took a shower after coming back from his gym. "Alex, good morning." Alexander didn't smile back or shared the same softness as hers. The deep frown settled over his forehead directed his worry towards her."What happened princess? You don't look good to me from the time you have turned." Lily gulped looking away from his sharp green eyes.Liliana always knew how hard it would be for her to actually hide away her pain and sadness from her family, she was the closest to her older brother and father. As expected, Alex had suspected her while her father asked this same question yesterday. She came back from Russia three days ago and she knew no matter how much she tried to act like she was OK, her father and brother would e
Author's PovLike a maniac, Charlotte entered the villa and surprisingly no one stopped her from invading the place only to find Cyril sitting there with a glass of wine cradled in his hand, two of his men were standing behind the couch he was sat at with his leg crossed. His cold sharp eyes steadily hoisted finding her dishevelled frame standing there.Her veil was nowhere to be found, the end of her white gown was filled with dirt, her tied glued bun now was a mess, she took a shaky step towards him, "Why?" She whispered looking at him with her teary bloodshot eyes as she glared at him fiercely.He was the one who pursued her relentlessly to get her agree to marry him, and when she finally agreed to be with him, he destroyed her, she thought he was the desperate one between them for this marriage but he looked completely a different man now, she couldn't even recognize him anymore when he stared at her with his empty cold eyes, the once held desire and affection for her was nowhere
Author's Pov"Cyril," The man stiffened for a second hearing a familiar voice as he looked up finding Charlotte standing there, his eyes raked all over her frame finding her in the bridal dress for which they came there to shop.He gave a curt nod, "It's fine, if you like it get it." He mumbled before leaning his back against the couch looking back at her father with whom he was having another business conversation.Charlotte gritted her teeth as she glared at both men, they came here specifically to buy her wedding dress but her father called him out of no where, she was more angered with the fact that Cyril asked him to come to the shop and instead of helping her with the dress, they started discussing some company matters.Charlotte's father's company wasn't doing well in the past few years, but this year the market value of the company's shares declined to the massive level which forced him to reach out to Cyril and ask for him to arrange the marriage and even Charlotte this time
Author's Pov"Here." Cyril looked at the key that Shawn placed on the office table in front of him, the man stood with his hands joined behind his back looking at his boss with calm eyes. Cyril frowned at him before shaking his head asking for an explanation."Это ключ от ее номера в отеле," Cyril glared at Shawn before glancing at the key. (This is the key to her hotel room,)"I asked you to bring the tie I left there not to give me the damned key!" Any man instead of Shawn would have run for their lives seeing the anger in their boss' eyes but Shawn was with Cyril from the very first time he started working on his plan. He knew everything even the darkest secret of his life which no one other than Cyril knew."Прошу прощения, босс, но я попросил этот ключ у одного из наших сотрудников. Я не могу пойти туда, так как у меня рейс через час. Если я пойду искать ваш галстук, я опоздаю на свой рейс, а проект действительно важный, и кроме нас с вами о нем никто не знает." Shawn knew where
Author's Pov"Cyril and I are getting married next month." Charlotte announced keeping a smug smile plastered over her face as she stared at the stilled woman before her, Lily's eyes were stuck on the invitation card, it was made with two colors green and black, she might had considered Cyril not taking interest in such things if she didn't know the obsession he had with green color."Well, I know you wouldn't come but I still wanted to invite my friend to my wedding, or maybe after today ex-friend." Charlotte mumbled widening her smile as she sat there gracefully.Lily finally cut her stare away from the card and looked down, Charlotte was waiting for her to break down, cry and be in the state she had never been in front of her but instead her smile dimmed when Lily chuckled lowly letting out a small laugh which made the woman seated there frown deeply at her unusual reaction."What's so funny?" She snapped making Lily look up, and she cleared the slight doubt that Charlotte had tha
