By 10 am the next day, Lily had gotten into her car and driven to the courthouse.

The drive there, much to her dismay, was filled with the churning of her stomach, a feeling of unease, and the tiny bit of joy she could bring herself to derive from finally getting William out of her life.

Pulling into the parking lot of the court, she sat there for a few seconds, preparing and composing herself for the next few hours. Then, after drawing in a fresh breath of air, or at least, what she'd like to consider a fresh breath of air, she opened the door and climbed out, striding with all the confidence she could muster to the entrance.

Upon entering the building, she spotted Mr. Linford.

"Uncle Linford," She called out with a gentle wave and a warm smile as she approached.

"Hello Lilian," Marcus Linford returned her greeting, pulling her in for a gentle hug when she got close enough.

The embrace lasted for a few seconds. Lily took the chance to enjoy the warmth that she had missed, before pul

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By His Billionaire Brother    Her Worst Mistake

    Hearing him speak up and announce the new bid, Lily's eyes flew open and her head snapped in his direction, shock written all over her face.A hundred million dollars? For one necklace? Was he crazy?Sensing her stare, Aaron met her gaze and smirked, unfazed by the price he'd called."I told you if you wanted something, you should let me know." He stated.Lily blinked, momentarily dazed, unsure if she’d heard correctly. But Aaron didn’t miss a beat. His gaze remained fixed on her, confident, calm… and smiling, like he knew exactly what effect his words had on the entire room, on her.Against her will, there was a tiny, familiar flutter in her chest.She swallowed, wetting her throat that had dried up as she looked away, directing her gaze to anywhere but his watchful gaze.But even after she'd looked away, Aaron continued to stare. And the corners of his lips curved upwards when he noticed the color making its way to the tips of her ears.Her expression remained so calm and composed,

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By His Billionaire Brother    Auction Clash (3)

    An hour had gone by in the blink of an eye.Lily sat through that time watching different auction pieces go by, but unfortunately, none of them was any of the two she came for tonight.A sigh left her lips. She was starting to feel impatient, and just as the thought crossed her mind, the next auction piece came on stage.It was a diamond necklace with a ruby pendant the size of a fist. The lights danced off the jewel, making it shine and glitter beautifully.The crowd immediately fell into an awed silence while Lily's eyes widened with recognition.The eyes of Hera. That was the item her grandfather wanted her to snag. Apparently, they needed it to please a high end client who of course in turn, was going to bring in bastard money.With her eyes gleaming with interest it lacked the half of the auction, Lily sat up straight, tightening her hold on her bidding paddle.The shift was subtle, barely noticeable by other people, but Aaron easily noticed this. He glanced at her through the sl

    William, for the life of him, couldn't bring himself to understand what the bellboy just said.The stoic mask he always wore like a second skin completely peeled away and his brows knitted together, displaying the confusion that coursed through his vein like the blood in his body.His eyes remained on Lily, or rather, Lilian's form, watching as she carried about like what had just been said was a fact everyone should know.Except, it wasn't!William was married to her for five years! Five whole years, yet he didn't know this. Of course, he'd done his background check on her when his grandmother first brought her home.The result showed that she was just another middle class lady ready to jump aboard the wagon of the rich.But, that wasn't the story. In fact, what was playing out in front of him right now like a cinematic movie he wasn't taking a liking to, was far from the truth he'd known all these years!For some reason, that angered him. The fact that she'd lied to him all these ye

    Everything around William seemed to fizzle into background noises as his eyes landed on Lily.She looked gorgeous, draped in a dress that hugged her curves. Her hair was pulled into a sharp ponytail, and the makeup she wore was minimalist, yet, still managed to make her look like a celebrity attending the Grammys.In short, she looked nothing like William remembered.If he thought he'd seen a different version of her at the courthouse, then he hadn't seen anything yet. Tonight left him speechless. But amongst the voiceless static going on in his brain, one question managed to surface.What...what was she doing here?His eyes then drifted to Aaron who stood beside her—hand perched casually on her lower back—and his gaze darkened before he knew it.And with him? He thought, a sense of displeasure bubbling inside his gut.His jaw clenched and his hands curled into tight fists.Isabella, who noticed the change in his attitude, followed his line of sight. Her eyes widened the moment they la

  • Rejected By My Husband, Desired By His Billionaire Brother    The Auction

    The auction day arrived faster than Lily anticipated.By evening, she was all dolled up, dressed in the outfit she and Annabelle had picked out a few days prior with her hair elegantly pinned into a loose bun.Behind her, Mary gushed at the end result of her handiwork."Your mistress, you look so beautiful tonight," she complimented, eyes glimmering. "So many beads are going to turn tonight."Lily chuckled.When she heard her phone vibrate, indicating the presence of a message, she grabbed it off the vanity table and saw a text from Aaron.[I'm here. Are you ready?]The text message read. Reading it, a small smile curved on her lips and she replied.[Be down soon.]With that, she gathered her things and with one last 'thank you' and several more praises from Mary, she hurried out of her room.Arriving at the Grand foyer, she spotted Joel walking in. The moment he saw her, his eyes brightened."Oh my, Little flower, you look gorgeous!" He exclaimed. "You'll make all the young boys swoo

    The door clicked shut behind William as he stepped out of yet another tiring meeting and into the corridor.Behind him, Jerome was on a phone call. He nodded a few times before ending the call and fixing his attention on William with a tentative gleam in his eyes.“Sir,”William barely looked back, barely acknowledged his call, but Jerome knew he was listening, so after a second, he continued.“I just got word from HR…Lilian Arkwright…rejected your request to meet her.”William’s strides slowed and he looked over his shoulders, finally acknowledging the assistant.“What?” He asked.“The new Vice President Of Arkwright Conglomerate rejected your request.” Jerome repeated, but with each word he said, he could feel the atmosphere around his boss becoming colder.Then suddenly, William scoffed. No, he didn't scoff, he chuckled. He chuckled because somehow, he found this information funny.The new Vice president of Arkwright Conglomerate, the very same one who had rejected his proposal, ha
