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

    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

    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

    Megan's eyes flew wide open the moment she heard this, her expression morphing from the composed one she tried so hard to wear, into one of utter horror."You did what?" She asked, voice trembling.In response to her question, Lily smiled.Anger spiked through Megan's veins in seconds. She shot up from her chair and before she could stop herself, her hands went up in the air, getting ready to land a clean hit on Lily's cheek.But at the very last second, Lily caught her wrist and with surprising force, pulled her forward."Don't be barbaric," she chided, her voice dangerously low. "We're having a conversation like two adults, there's no need to resort to violence. Don't you think so?"Megan's nostrils flared and pulled her hand back. Her lips parted, but before words could come rolling out, the door behind her swung open with so much force that it slammed against the wall.Megan flinched, her heart jumping into her throat as she turned and saw Thomas and Joel standing by the entrance.
