Lily opened her eyes as Mark told those words. “Do you think people do not love you?” Lily asked him.
“They do I guess but, I am not sure,” Mark replied.
“Your family members love you,” Lily stated. Mark chuckled which confused Lily. “So, the same logic of love applies there? You hear beats increase crazily seeing whom you love?” Mark questioned her.
“No, what are you saying? That is for two persons being in love with each other, romantically. Family love is different. Ahh, it is so difficult to explain to you. Okay, let say, for example, someone in your family gets injured badly then you might have been scared. Why are you scared? Because you love him/her,” Lily asserted.
“I don’t get scared. I think he/she got hurt because his/her own fault,” Mark asserted. Lily looked at him in disbelief.
“So, you don’t love them?” Lily asked.
Mark felt Lily’s head on his shoulder. He slightly turned his head and saw she was sleeping which amused him. “How can she fall asleep in just 10 minutes?” Mark wondered and turned off the TV.Mark was not moving at all from his position as he was afraid if Lily’s sleep could break by that. Mark carefully placed his hand on Lily’s nape and made her lay down on the couch there. “I shall leave, I guess,” Mark thought and stood up but, then he stopped.“Lily” he called out her name but Lily did not respond.“What are you doing? Disturbing her sleep?” Mark’s other side of mind told him. Carrying Lily in a bridal style, Mark took her to the room, upstairs. Pushing the door, he walked inside Lily’s room and went to her bed. He gently put her down on the bed and covered her from the blanket, before switching off the lights.A few hair strands which had come ahead her
“Lily, have your meal,” voiced a man who was sitting at a long chair around the dining table. Facing him, Lily was sitting on the other end of the table. There were variety of cuisines placed over the table and two maids were standing beside him.“I do not want to eat,” Lily proclaimed. She was confused seeing the surroundings. “Who are you? It has been a week but you did not tell your name,” Lily opined.“The name is Lucian Addain. Only you have the right to call me by my name, Lily,” Lucian huskily said and smirked at the same time.“Let me go. I do not belong here,” Lily sternly said. Lucian’s eyes turned blood red and he stood up from the chair. He came near Lily as his tall figure hovered over her, both hands on the shoulder. Lily lifted her head up to meet his gaze.Lucian grabbed Lily’s chin using his two fingers. “You cannot leave this place. You are mine and I am yours,” Lucian stressed his words. Lily knitted her brows and slapped
“Tell,” Mark again told Lily with a stern look.“It is nothing,” Lily refused to tell. “Now, Get down the bed and go home,” Lily stated as she pulled the blanket up. Mark did not force Lily further. He got down the bed. “Take care and thank you,” Mark stated. Lily nodded and put the blanket there. “I will see you off till the door.” Mark gave a nod and the two went out of the room.As Mark stepped out of Lily’s house, he turned back and peered into Lily’s eyes. Lily waved at him. Mark passed her a faint smile and went to his car. He almost opened the door but then came back which startled Lily.“What? Did you forget something?” Lily asked him.“Yes. Close your eyes,” Mark told her.“Why?” Lily asked with a raised brow.“Just close your eyes,” Mark stated.Lily closed her eyes. Mark smile
Lily after buying the groceries came out of the general store. “I did see him but he is not here anymore. Where did he go to?” Lily wondered. She started walking towards her house. Her phone started buzzing and she answered the call. “Max,” she read out the name that was appearing on the screen.“Hello.” Lily answered the call.“Sis, what are you doing?” Max asked.“Going home after buying some groceries. What about you?” Lily asked.“I am doing nothing,” Max replied.“I knew it,” Lily stated. “Why did you call?” Lily asked him.“Why? Can I not call my sister?” Max asked.“No. You call me when you need something. Tell me what do you want?” Lily asked him again.“Our neighbourer’s daughter is giving me headaches. Please do something and throw her out of my l
“What about the fallen Angel?” Jasper asked curiously from Lucian.“The fallen Angel was supposed to be dead but a Devil saved her,” Lucian asserted and looked at Mark who averted his gaze from him. “So, the Advocate unit of Devils asked for Mark’s presence,” stated Lucian.“Why did they not ask for me 6 years ago- the time I saved her?” Mark asked Lucian.“The incident was not reported to them,” replied Lucian.“Then, is this not considered as incapability of Reporting Subsection? Why did this come to their notice at the time when the future King is going to be selected? Isn’t this suspicious?” Mark asked, peering into Lucian’s eyes.“Mark, don’t talk like this with Lucian.” Lucius warned his son.Lucian smiled and then clasped his fingers together. “This incident has nothing to do with the future King’s selection. You are right. Reporting subsection isn’t doing its work efficiently and effectively so, they are being punished severely. Soon, they
“Now, you followed me?” Lucian asked with a grin.“What are you planning?” Mark asked with a stern look.“Nothing,” replied Lucian and snickered. He walked past Mark and went in. Mark followed him up. Lucian moved his finger in air and in seconds everything was set back to its place. He sat on the sofa chair and gestured to Mark to sit on the other who did so.“I am here for a month and happened to find this house. Coincidentally, I found Lily lives beside mine house. Ahh, I don’t know but I am feeling happy. Oh, sorry. I forgot you don’t know what happiness is!” Lucian proclaimed and then smirked.“You planned this out when you see her and saved her. Do you think I am a 5 Year old kid who do not understand things? I can enter your mind. Forgot?” Mark asked and then looked around the house.“I am also living here. The room to the left is mine. You can take the right room,” Mark proclaimed and smiled.“You are not living here. Get out from here,” L
Lucian was reading a file when he heard the clanking sound of door. “Don’t even try to step in if you don’t want to get hurt,” Lucian said loudly when Mark broke the door and it fell on the floor. “Oops, sorry. I did not mean to use more force,” Mark said as he stepped in.Lucian rubbed his forehead and then glared at Mark. “Stop breaking the things in my house. It won’t do anything good,” Lucian stated with a slight anger in his tone.“You did the same thing with me when I was in the Netherlands. Forgot? Those 4 years were so tough for me because of you,” Mark muttered and sat on the edge of the bed.Lucian touched the roof of his mouth using his tongue and then gave a chuckle. “So, you are here to trouble me or you are here to look after that human?” Lucian asked.“Both. I have to be around her as she can she us and even ghosts,” Mark replied.“You mean in our devil form?” Lucian queried.“Yes.”“So, you are protecting her?” Lucian asked.
Lily was chatting with Bella on the phone regarding work when she saw the balcony door of the house opened a figure came outside. “Mark,” she murmured. Mark looked at her and gave a tiny smile to her.“Why did you not sleep till now?” Lily asked while putting the phone inside her pocket.“I hardly get sleep,” Mark replied.Lily giggled. “Liar! You were sleeping so soundly last night and in the morning you woke up late,” Lily muttered.“Even I don’t know why. But I think it is because you were beside me,” Mark asserted. Lily’s eyes grew bigger as she heard Mark. Her heart flustered and she could not meet Mark’s gaze.“I was kidding. Lucian and I have some work outside so, we are going to leave soon. You must sleep. It is quite late,” Mark stated, looking at Lily.Hearing Mark, Lily met his gaze and scratched her head. “You were kidding?” Lily mumbled and slightly laughed. Mark caught her words but, did not consider to speak further. “Go inside and
