His Possession

Lily's POV"It's one of my favorite places here and I love it." Stella said, leading me on the street.I was walking beside her as we left the library, where she had asked me to be this morning. We were hopefully about to reach the place she had been constantly bickering about.I couldn't help but notice the cold breeze today. The clouds looked like they might burst any moment. It had been like this the past few weeks, raining frequently.I wrapped my arms around my peach sweater. I had chosen a casual wear, my peach sweater, jeans and my sneakers. I would've pulled a hoodie over myself but I'm not sure Stella would've taken me along that way. She was that kind of person who didn't go around anywhere without her heels."Believe me, the croissants there are just amazing!" She continued.I hadn't slept much last night. My mind had been filled up with thousands of those questions and disturbing thoughts. I wanted grandpa to be fine. I wanted my family back again. I wasn't paying much at

Lily's POV"Here you go." I directed a small smile towards the lady before placing her order on her table.Phew. This shit was hard.It was quite a lot of hard work. Especially when you had to go from one table to another in just a second. Or sometimes, even in a mini second.I pulled back a strand of my hair away from my face. I'm sure I looked like a total mess. I had told grandma about my job in the morning. Of course, she hadn't looked anywhere near pleased with it. But I had to do this. I needed to help grandpa.What I had said was, "It's okay. I want to do it willingly, Grandma. By the way, these vacations are boring me anyways and I don't even find these books interesting nowadays."She had nodded and accepted it all. I knew she wasn't believing me. Especially on the last part about books. She knew how much I adored my books given by Jade. But what's the danger in lying? And lie is always for a reason.I had decided to enjoy these vacations before University started. But then

Lily's POVThe second I entered my house, all I heard was silence. Where was Grandma?I took off my sneakers and went towards the lounge. I felt guilty for keeping grandma worried. She didn't need this in between all of the stuff that was already happening.Or maybe she wasn't home yet.I was wrong when I went inside the lounge. There they were. Not only Grandma, but Stella too. "Grandma?" I broke the tense silence.Both of their heads whipped in my direction and then, they were rushing towards me."Lily!" Grandma spoke up, relief quite evident in her voice. "Where were you? I've always told you to take your phone with you."I laughed nervously, trying to ignore Stella's glare. Both of them sometimes acted a lot protective. And that did went up to an annoying level."I forgot. But I'm fine. I just lost my way." I said, partly telling the truth. I couldn't have said how three drunk psychos were after me. I was tired and exhausted and I just wanted to sleep.A worried frown formed on

Ace's POV"I might be busy." I spoke up, dismissing my secretary.I was beyond exhausted and these meetings wouldn't just stop. Walking towards the suite, I realized how Sofia was still walking beside me.Not right now.I dragged a hand over my face, urging myself not to grain out loud. All I wanted was some sleep. At least, one hour."Ace!" She hissed beside me.I barely controlled my annoyance and looked at her. "What is it?""Lily's here." She gestured towards the suite.Lily's here?Dammit! She had to arrive today. How did I forget that?"Right." I nodded slowly, walking ahead more eagerly this time. "You showed her everything?"She nodded, a little too frantically. Meaning she needed to say something else too."And?" I asked."She was asking where you were." She glanced at me, carefully arranging the papers I had given her.She was asking about me?How unusual."I'll see about that." And then I dismissed her too.She nodded and walked the other way, towards the elevator. When I w

Lily's POVI spent the rest of my life in the library. Almost.It was the only place apart from my room which seemed comfortable enough to roam around. Even if the library was huge, there was this something about the tall shelves filled with books which somehow felt comforting.I didn't actually see anyone here besides me. Which was more than fine.Picking out a random book, I sat down on one of the soft black couches around one corner.The books here were kind of interesting. Historical. Crimes. Psychology. It gave a sort of mysterious aura to this place, confusing me even more.Especially since Ace had indirectly pointed out that I was in danger. He told me not to leave this place by myself.But why?I wasn't in danger my whole life. I never remembered my grandparents ever telling me not to leave the house by myself.Did that mean that I was in danger just because of Ace?I frowned at that, shaking my head slightly. It would be better if I not thinking into this too much. It clearl
