His Possession One
Lily's POV"Here you go, dear." Jade said, giving me the newest pile of novels she had managed to collect for me. I just caught a glimpse of the first book's cover and my stomach had already started doing a giddy dance.I smiled at her gratefully, taking them in my hands. "You're the best, Jade." She waved her hand, dismissing it. Jade was like an Aunt to me. A caring Aunt. Probably my first Aunt since I had none. For real. This library was where I mostly spent half of days in. She happened to be the librarian here. And when it came to my love for books, she knew me too well.I was a proud bookworm, after all.I headed for a nearby table with the books in my hands. I couldn't wait to open them up and indulge in them. It was like going into a completely new dimension, where only you and your imagination lived.Geez, I'm thinking into this too much.I sat down on one of the wooden chairs and was about to go through the first page when my phone rang. Frowning, I took it out from my poc
His Possession Two
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
His Possession Three
Lily's POVI was wide awake. Laying on my bed and looking up at the ceiling. At our family. Mom, Dad and me.I still remembered that day when we had taken that picture. We had gone off to the beach and stayed in one of the cabins there. I still remembered when a crab had bitten my finger and I had cried. And I still remembered how my mother had shushed me and how my father had bought me a stick of candy floss to make me smile.That crab bite had hurt a lot. Stupid crab.A smile crept up on my face. Even if the crab bite was painful, it was still the best day. And then mom had asked a random girl to take our picture. Mom and Dad were looking in the camera, while I was looking at them.I had only been four back then. Just four and so young.I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.I hadn't known if I should've gone back to the bakery. I wasn't even sure if Steve would've wanted me back again after my sudden outburst yesterday. I had just ran off, without giving him any explanation.And
His Possession Four
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
His Possession Five
Lily's POV"Lily." Stella broke the silence before sitting beside me. "What's wrong?"I was sprawled on my bed with a blanket over me. Stella had come over to my house and was now kind of getting annoyed since I wasn't replying to her. At all. I could've lied to her and said that I was sick. Having a fever. Or maybe going through some stress disorder? That wouldn't actually be a lie."I'm having a fever." I murmured, closing my eyes.Two days had passed since I'd eaten anything. At least that's what grandma had said. Which wasn't exactly true. I hadn't gotten out of bed. I hadn't felt like getting out of bed.I was scared."You're such a bad liar. I thought we didn't keep secrets." She frowned.We didn't. But how was I supposed to tell her about Ace? Him and his stupid deal? She'd just blame herself.Maybe I should get over it. Maybe I shouldn't think about it at all.But part of me knew how I couldn't do that. Grandpa wasn't being treated. Days were slowly passing by without him be
His Possession Six
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
His Possession Seven
Lily's POVMorning started out pretty badly since Stella decided to drop by my house. Not just that, but she even came up in my room, threatening to spill cold water over my face if I didn't wake up.That was the only reason why I woke up and trudged downstairs with my drowsy state, still in my pajamas.I was so not a morning person. As I moved downstairs, Grandma and Stella were seated around the dining table, waiting for someone. Probably me."What was so important to ruin my sleep? I literally just slept three hours ago." A small groan escaped my lips as I slumped down on the couch.That was the truth. Sleep hadn't come easily last night. Especially since all I could think about was today. And what was about to happen this day.I was scared of leaving my own house. I was scared of leaving my grandparents. "Yeah, we can see that, Lily." Stella eyed me.Something was definitely wrong with them. The tense atmosphere said so. And I was literally tired of facing such kind of atmospher
His Possession Eight
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
