“You’re not supposed to be drinking this. You’re underaged.” She scolded him. “Do you want to ruin your liver?” She asked him. He tried to reach for the cup, but she took it out of his reach. He looked at her, annoyed. “Why do you care?” He asked her, pissed and annoyed. “Because I’m your friend.” She told him and then, grabbing the wine bottle, she went out. He went after her to take it back. “Give it back.” He told her. “No.” she told him, going down the stairs. “Lillian, I’m warning you.” He told her, following her to the living room where his father was. Lillian put the wineglass and bottle down in front of Alan, who just blinked at her, confused. “Mr. King, I get you are famously rich, but you can’t let your son drink alcohol like that. It’s not good for him. Do you want him to die early or have health complications early in life? Do you have no regard for your son’s life? If you do, then you will not let him drink anymore.” She told him and looked at Zack, who was glarin
“I… I was at a friend’s house. We have a competition coming up and we were preparing for that.” She told him and tried not to sound afraid. “What friend? Is it a boy?” He asked her. She nodded. Victor was even more angry thinking that she did something shameful. “What’s his name?” He asked her angrily. “Zack… Zack King.” She told him. He looked at her, stunned. “Alan King’s son?” He asked her. She nodded. ‘How did she get close to him?’ he thought, looking at her. ‘It might be a good thing. If she’s close to him, then Aurora will get the chance to grab his heart.’ She looked at him and saw her father looking at her. “Don’t be late next time.” He told her. “Yes, dad.” She told him. “You can go now.” He told her. She quickly got away from him before he changed his mind. She went to her room and let out a sigh of relief. “Thank Goodness, I thought I was going to get grounded.” She mumbled and went to her desk. She put down her things and then went to take a shower. After
They were driving to the villa and Alan himself was driving the car. When they were leaving, she saw the pissed look on Aurora’s face. This was the first time she was not given something she wanted. Internally, Lillian felt happy that she didn’t get to have her way this time. She looked at Zack, who was sitting beside her and scrolling on his phone. Then she looked at Alan in the rearview mirror. “How long will it take to reach there, Mr. King?” She asked him. Alan sighed in defeat. “Just call me Alan. I told you countless times.” He told her. “Sorry, I just don’t feel uncomfortable calling you out by your first name.” She told him apologetically. “But if you keep saying it, then you’ll get used to it.” He told her. “Feel lucky that he’s not asking you to call him dad.” Zack said in a bored tone. Lillian looked at him, confused, while Alan laughed. “That’s a great idea!” Alan exclaimed. “You can call me dad too if you want.” She gave him a nervous smile and sat back down on
She sat near the edge of the pool and moved her legs in the water. After a few minutes, Zack joined her, wearing only his swimming trunks. She looked back when she heard footsteps and saw him half naked. He had a good build, six-pack abs, and a very toned body. He was like a model. “What are you staring at?” He asked her and looked at her suspiciously. “You could be a model you know with that body.” She told him. ‘Done that.’ He thought. He walked closer to the pool. “It’s boring.” He told her. “What do you want to do, then?” She asked him. “Haven’t really thought about it. What about you?” He asked her. “I wanna be a graphic designer.” She smiled at him. He looked at her. “That’s why you’re always drawing.” He said. She nodded. “I love drawing.” She told him. “That’s good that you know what you want to do.” He told her. “Yeah. By the way, what’s with the sudden renovation?” She asked him. “Don’t even ask. It was annoying.” He told her. ~A few Hours ago~ Zack what’s
After dinner, Lillian went back into her room and drew a few sketches before she decided to take a rest. She went to the balcony and stood there for a while,enjoying the gentle breeze. Alan knocked before coming in. She looked back and saw that he brought her some snacks. She went to him and took the tray from him. “Thank you.” She told him with a small smile. “No problem, dear. What were you doing?” he asked her. “Just taking a break.” She told him. She took the tray to the desk and put it there. The drawings spread around the bed caught Alan’s eyes. He walked to the bed and inspected the drawing. They weren’t finished yet and were just rough sketches, but they were looking good she had made about 10 sketches. “Are these the ones that you’re drawing for the game?” he asked her. “Yes, they aren’t finished yet, but what do you think?” she asked him. “Well, they are looking good so far. Especially these three.” he told her and pointed at the ones he liked. “I’ll work on those
The time Lillian spent at the King’s villa finally came to an end. She didn’t want to go home, but she knew that she’d eventually have to. When she got home, Aurora bullied her around the house even more than usual. She pretended to accidentally spill juice on her clothes or bump into her roughly and then blame her for it. One day, while she was away at Zack’s, Aurora threw a tantrum that her favorite earring was gone and that it was Lillian who stole it because she had been eyeing that pair of earring for days. She barged into Lillian’s room and turned it upside down. Aurora found it under the bed and made her parents see this. “See! I knew that bitch stole it from me!” she told her parents, holding out her pair of earrings in her palm for them to see. “I can’t believe that after all we did, she would still do this disgusting thing.” Victor retorted. “Don’t worry, love. We will punish her for this.” Lisa told her, caressing her daughter’s head. When Lillian came home, Lisa marc
Zack brought her some cold water when she calmed down and sat beside her while Alan stood in front of her with his hands in his pockets. She took a sip from the glass and sniffed. “Wanna tell me what happened?” Zack asked her in a soft tone. She looked at him and told him everything. After she was done, she started crying again, but this time quietly. Zack looked furious while Alan had a calm expression, but on the inside, he was angry as well at her parents. “Lillian.” Alan called her. She looked up at him with teary eyes. “Don’t worry about your education. I will finance you as I sponsor a lot of kids who are struggling with their finances. So, don’t you worry about not getting an education.” Alan told her. She felt grateful to him and wanted to polietly decline his offer but she was in no position to do so. “Thank you.” She told him with a tight throat. “Don’t worry about it. And you can stay here for as long as you want.” he told her and then looked at Zack. “Take her to
They went to the dining table together and saw Alan already sitting there, reading his newspaper. “Good morning.” She greeted him. “Good morning, Lillian.” He greeted her back, looking at her with a smile. “How did you sleep?” “Good.” she told him. “Do you like the dress?” he asked her. “Yes, it’s beautiful. Thank you.” she told him. “Don’t thank me. Zack was the one who brought it.” he told her. “Oh.” she said and looked at Zack, who looked away. She giggled. “Thank you, Zack.” she told him. “Don’t mention it.” he told her, trying to hide his embarrassment. They took their places in front of Alan, and soon the maids served their breakfast. After they finished eating, Zack cleared his throat, which made Alan look at him. He pointed at Lillian with his head. Alan nodded. Last night, they talked about letting Lillian have a job at the company. Zack promised his father that he would work in the company because Alan always wanted him to join his business, so he agreed.
