MasukCHAPTER 139LilyThere was a different kind of peace I felt as I finally went home. It was more than nice to see Lila like that. In a position where it looked like she was begging. In a position where she was begging for her freedom. Nothing could be compared to that. I pushed the door open, and I was more than glad when I heard my mom in the kitchen. She had returned before any of us. It was a shame that Lila didn't see that the person that had brought her up was also involved in what was causing her pain. As I headed upstairs, I hurried straight to the mirror, with a smile on my lips. I was already glowing. Who would have thought that Lucien's mom was a bad bitch? The whole thing was her idea. I didn't know what she stood to gain, but she was the one who brought up the idea of abducting Lila. I couldn't help but agree to it. That was literally my fantasy this whole time. A giggle escaped my lips. As soon as I slipped my clothes off, I heard the doorbell go off. I frowned, quickl
CHAPTER 138LilaI might have fallen asleep sometime. Because my the time I woke up, my eyes were blindfolded again, and I could hear footsteps. My sense of hearing was the only thing that I depended on. My sense of smell was almost useless. The only thing that I could smell was the latex of the cloth that the person wore, and the dust and metal rnyat was already there in the room. And I knew where that one came from. “Good morning, Lila,” my abductor said, and a shiver ran through my spine. It was morning already. People had to be out searching me. In my head, I could make our the kids crying, and asking where I was. Olivia can only lie so many times that I had work. But even she had to be worried. I didn't have my phone on me, and my hands were still tightly tied behind my back. “Please, just let me go. I don't know what use I am to you.”“I've told you before,” the person said. “You will be og use when you're gone. When. The people who are close to you cry. And then, they would
CHAPTER 137LilaMy head was hurting as I woke up. It was hard to even open my eyes. I sniffled, waiting to smell the fuel that wouh have poured out of the car. There was nothing. Only dust. There was a ringing sound in my ear, and my head was bent to the side, making my beck hurt. I groaned as I opened my eyes, taking my surroundings. I tried to raise my hands to press my head, but it was bounded to my back as well. What the fuck?My eyes were slowly adjusting to the dim light. I was sitting on a wooden chair that seemed more than sturdy. My feet were also bound together. I managed to raise my head, crying out from the pain. The room was huge and dark. Furnitures at the end of the room was covered in white cloth. The door was metallic, and I could smell the rust iron. I almost gagged. I recognized the place more than anything. It was Lucien's mother's basement. I remembered when they were purchasing the house. She made sure that she had gotten a huge basement. It was on the top o
CHAPTER 136LilaMy whole body was shaking as I scanned through the documents. He was being adopted from an orphanage that was close by. The address, date, name and everything was there. I could barely believe what I was seeing. Was that why she wanted to kill him? Because he wasn't hers? Because she wanted to property that came with his death? But… the kids were there. Were they going to be the next victims. A shudder ran through my spine. If she could try to put an end to the person that she practically raised, then who were the kids that she wouldn't try to end. No wonder she wanted Lily as her daughter-in-law. She knew that the both of them had almost the same vision when. It came to things like this. I would have never supported something like that. I tried to stand up, but my legs betrayed me, and I fell back down on the chair. I needed to get to the orphanage first. Thankfully, it wasn't even far from here. I tried a second time, as I managed to find my way downstairs. The
CHAPTER 135LilaImmediately I woke up the next day, the first thing I did was get the kids ready for school. After I dropped them off, I headed straight to the one place that I couldn't stop thinking about. I was definitely stressed out, but there wasn't much that I could do after all. I could at least try to contribute to finding the person that wanted to put an end to Lucien. My fingers were wrapped so tightly around the stirring wheels, that my knuckles turned white. I was staring right at Lucien's mother's house. The last time I was there, she was literally accusing me of hiding her son's child. She wasn't wrong. And this time, I was hoping that she could confess to what she had done by herself. If she wasn't, then I could at least find something that I could use against her. I stepped out of the car, ringing the door bell. Within seconds, I could hear footsteps on the other side of the door. The door was suddenly pushed open, and I came fade to face with Lucien's mom. There
CHAPTER 134Lila My mom finally stopped the car in front of Henry's place, and I took breathing exercises before I even made my way out of the car. I didn't know how I was supposed to react about anything just yet. I was between crying and smiling. Depends on whatever was in that chip. My mom held my hand like she knew that I was going to be overthinking. “You don't have to worry about anything, Lila,” she whispered again, abd I nodded at her. “Everything that we need will be there, right?” I asked, and she bit her lips. Thwre was no sure answer. But it didn't matter. We weren't going to sit in that car forever. “Why don't we get in the car and find out?” She asked, cocking an eyebrow. I have her a small nod as I got out of the car. That was when I noticed how.mucb my knees were shaking. If I was somehow found guilty, I didn't know how I was going to feel about myself. She pushed the door open, and we managed to locate one of the many small doors that belonged to Henry. She knoc
Chapter 19 Let goLucien I watched as she walked away, her hips swaying softly behind her and I couldn’t take my eyes off her. she had a pull that was magnetic, it pushed me in even when it should have pushed me away. I wanted her, against all.Lily’s hands tapped me, waking me up from the daydre
Chapter 12A date LucienI stared at her number on my phone all through the night like it was the highest prize I had won. By the time I woke up in the morning, the award I had won was far gone from my mind. It wasn't until I turned the news on that I remembered. It was indeed a peak that I had w
Chapter 16Dinner againLilaThe call ended a few minutes later and I could finally focus on getting ready for dinner. I wanted to make sure that my second impression was just as great as the first one.Once I finished, I wore my dinner dress. A modest dark blue gown that was just above my knees bu
Chapter 15LunchLilaI stared at my phone, a message had come in from Lucien. He hadn't stopped texting since I had consented to lunch with him. It was pathetic.He didn't think I knew he had lied about having lunch with the rest of his team. I had just looked past the lie so he would think I actu
