view moreLily waited purposely until 8:30 to return to Asher's home. She didn't want to move in before the time he gave her and have him think she is still going to submit to his whim all the time. The Lily he was previously married to might have done that, but not her... She was going to play the part of a wife that is married only on paper very well this time around. Her heart however broke in disappointment when she walked back into the house with the two suitcases she walked away with, and he wasn't even home yet. She bit down hard on her bottom lip, to keep its trembles from the gazes of the servants, who were all overjoyed to see her. Lily knew the excitement wasn't because they loved her so much, but because now their jobs were secured. Marie had told her Asher's threats last night. "Let me help you, ma'am" the voice of the driver interrupted her thoughts, and with a small smile, she let go of the suitcases and he carried it up."I am glad you are back, ma'am" Marie said, and Li
Lily stared wide eyed at the man brooding over her. What the hell was he doing here? Out of all the things she had planned for herself today, opening her door to receive Asher Allard wasn't one of them. Did he come to deliver the divorce papers himself?Her grip on the door knob tightened the second that possiblity crossed her mind. She knows that he has been looking forward to getting rid of her, and now that Charlotte is back in the picture, serving him the divorce papers must have made him so ecstatic that he decided to deliver them himself. She took a deep breath and readied herself for it."What are you doing here?" She asked, meeting his gazeAsher's eyes bore into hers for a while, and he could see the confidence blazing in them. He couldn't help but wonder what he did that made her serve him the divorce papers, and stare at him with such hard eyes. Her gaze has always been soft and tender towards him, but today... He tore his eyes away from hers and glanced over her shoulders,
Asher watched the sun set high in the sky with so much indignation. Eyebags had formed under his eyes from last night's sleep deprivation. He had stayed awake all night, listening for any sign of Lily coming back, but he heard nothing. Once the clock struck at 12 AM, he knew she wouldn't be coming back that night, but a part of him believed she'd be back first thing in the morning. The employment of the housekeepers were tightly linked to her absence or presence, and he knew her well enough to know that she would burn herself for another, yet... She still wasn't back at half past 10.His eyes darted to his bedside clock, and he clenched his fists tightly to keep himself from smashing it against the wall. It wasn't just the time that annoyed him, it was the freaking clock itself. Two nights ago, he had a classic vintage one sitting on his desk, now, it has been replaced with a boring black clock.. the same one he had before he married Lilly, and it infuriated him. When he walked into
After a week of plotting and planning her escape, Lily was finally ready to leave. Her two suitcases that she had spent the past week filling up with her things she didn't sell or donate laid at the foot of the bed.Even though she had spent the past week preparing for this day, she couldn't help the ache that she felt. After five years, five years of giving her all to a man who didn't even appreciate it in the slightest... She was finally leaving, but she was leaving with nothing but a broken heart.Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked around the room she stayed in all those while. She had taken off all the decorations and changes she made in the past year, returning it to the lonely room it was the first night she slept in it. She thought that she would at least spend her wedding night with her husband, but he cast her away into a room, a lonely room that he never crossed the threshold of. It hurt a lot at first, but she learnt to live with it... But not any more.Taking a very
Lily stared at herself in the mirror with a small smile on her face. She had hurried into the bathroom after making his dinner to play her little dress up game. She knew that he would never look at her for longer than 2 seconds, he never has. Throughout the 5 years of their marriage, he treated her like an eyesore, it felt like looking at her for longer than 5 seconds would cause his eyes to bleed, yet she always played dress up for him, it was a fantasy game. Maybe if I dress up well today, he would look at me, he however never did.Her eyes trailed over her lean frame, and she felt the bitter taste of rejection in her mouth. She wasn't exceptionally beautiful, but anyone could glance at her twice at least so why... She clenched her hands tightly on her red robe, and she forced herself to subdue the bitter thoughts rising in her mind. He made it clear to her five years ago that she was nothing but a token for a successful business deal, nothing more and nothing less. He had told her
