LOGINCHAPTER 120LilaMy knees buckled at the revelation. I wanted to run out of that place with everything in me. But at the same time, I couldn't just run away. I had to hear everything that they had to say. I looked over at my mom, and she didn't even look sorry about whatever Lily just said. St the same time, she didn't look like she was ready to debunk whatever was just being said. I didn't mistake the smirk on her face. “What do you mean?” I asked Lily. At that point, she was the only one that could give me answers. Lucien. Was by my side immediately, wrapping his arms around me like he was trying to protect me from whatever was happening. The last thing I needed was his protection. I quickly shrugged him off. Lily smirked as well. She took a step back, gesturing at my father. “Ask your father.”I swallowed hard as I took a step towards the only man that could give me an answer at that point. “Whatever she's saying… it's a lie, right?” I was holding on to his every word. My heart
CHAPTER 119LilaI clutched to my gown, with one hand around Lucien's. His presence was the one thing that I needed like my life depended on it. The both of us walked through the house, heading straight to the backyard. On a normal day, my parents would have rented a hall. But they were house Lily now. They were going low on finances. The party was just a little facade. They wanted donations. And knowing them, they were going to get it. “You finally made it,” my mom said, plastering a fake smile on her face. I cocked my head to the side, giving her the exact amount of smiles. “Hello, mother,” I said, but she quickly wrapped me and Lucien. I looked around, trying not to be choked by her perfume. I noticed that people were watching. She was trying to be the perfect mother in front of them. Lucien was the first one to withdraw from the hug. “You're even early this time,” she said, poking my arm in a playful way. I cocked an eyebrow, lowering my voice. “You don't have to try to be a
CHAPTER 118Lila“Daddy!” The kids screamed as they ran through the door that was widely open. I couldn't even help but smile as Lucien came out from one of the rooms. They wrapped their arms around his legs, and he carried the both of them up at the same time. I couldn't help but blush at how strong this man was. And the best part? It totally felt like he was mine. “You made it,” he whispered, looking right at me. I felt my knees do a little buckle. After the party, and the light conversation with Mrs. Cornelli, the both of us have been as thick as thieves. “You managed to convince me.”He smirked. “I literally forced you.”He wasn't lying. He wanted us at the house for a few days, and the kids wanted to spend time with their father. Since the kids were on their summer holiday already, the whole thing seemed to work. I couldn't help but look around the house. It looked significantly different from the last time that I was there. Lucien had made a whole lot of changes since the las
CHAPTER 117LilaLucien turned to look at me like I had suddenly grown two heads. The smile on Rachel's lips slowly grew. “What are you talking about?” He asked immediately. “I don't have to dance with her.”I cocked my head to the side. “It doesn't matter, Lucien. It's just one dance.”He seemed to huff. But then he nodded. “Fine.”Rachel took his hands, leading him to the dance floor, where people were watching them. It was almost like the spotlight was on them, but I didn't want to think too much about it. “Are you okay?” Someone asked, and I turned around to look at a middle aged woman that was standing beside me. “Of course,” I whispered. “Do I look worried?”She shook her head. “You just look like someone stole your man.” She said, bursting into laughter. I allowed myself grin at her. “Don't they look perfect together?” She asked, looking directly at Lucien and Rachel. When I looked at the both of them, they looked nothing less than a handsome man dancing with a witch. Noth
CHAPTER 116Lila“I know that Victoria has asked you not to send us any invites, but you know that you want to. You can at least do this for us, sir,” I said, hating the way my voice sounded. Pleading with businessmen was the one thing that I didn't like doing. It built up their ego, and I couldn't even blame them. I needed the parties and the invites to be able to socialize and make an impression about my outfits. Lucien was behind me, massaging my shoulders as I talked to Mr. Rick. “It would be too risky,” he said, and I could imagine him scratching his head. He was going to be accepting within minutes. He was already considering it. “I assure you, sir. You won't regret it one bit. You would ask yourself questions why you haven't invited us all this while.”“Fine then. I'll send you the invites,” he said. I cocked my head to the side, smiling like he was sitting down there in front of me. “Can you send them now? I want to make sure that you don't end up forgetting.”“Now?” He a
CHAPTER 115Lila Lucien had barely spoken his next words when I walked up to him, kissing him. It was just how I expected it to feel. Passionate. Hard. Painful. He bit against my lower lip, and I couldn't help the moan that escaped through my lips. “I will always have this effect on you,” he whispered, leaning down for another kiss. I quickly kissed him again. Harder this time. He ran his thumb through my nipple, and it felt perfect. Pleasure shot through my veins, down to my pussy. I pressed my thighs against the other, trying to bring in any kind of pleasure that I could create for myself. “People are going to be standing outside that door.” I whispered against his lips. “Do I look like I care?” He asked, making me grin along with him. Lucien slowly undid my dress halfway. My nipples were on full display, and I heard him curse. “Did you come here prepared for me?” He asked, and I smiled. “A little,” I whispered back. He wrapped my lips around a nipple, tugging against my ha
CHAPTER 111LilaMy whole body went rigid. “You don't have to answer that question, Lila,” Lucien said, with his voice loud enough for me to hear. But somehow, my brain tuned him out, barely able to comprehend anything that he was saying..I wasn't just going to go ahead and reveal any secret that
CHAPTER 104Lucien What. The. Fuck?My hands were already balling into fists at my side, but there was no way that I was taking any undue action against a woman. I turned back to look at Lucien. Her face was expressionless. I didn't like that look. I slowly pulled Rachel away from me. She looked
CHAPTER 107LilaOlivia was already in front of the television before I could even get downstairs. “What happened? Hannah asked me to check the news.”Olivia's eyes were wide, and worried. “I got the same news from my uncle. That's the only reason I'm here right now. Checking.”“And coming up, is
CHAPTER 103Lila“Are you home?” The text had been staring back at me for the past two minutes. It was almost like Lucien didn't want to reply me. My fingers were already hovering around the send button for about five minutes, and now, he was doing the same thing. I didn't want to do something hu
