Derek’s POV
Caster is my younger brother, the middle child of the family, my parent’s favorite son, and our last-child favorite sibling. I mean, he’s an embodiment of perfection and it has always been like that from the start. We were particularly close at some point until I discovered that our parents were trying to stop the budding friendship between us because they thought I would badly influence him. I didn’t wait for them to say it to my face, I changed college since we attended the same college just to let him live his life the way they wanted.
He’s a top lawyer at one of the biggest firms in the state and also one of dad’s legal representatives. My parents wouldn’t stop singing his praises every day and I haven’t been to my parents’ home in years because of that shit. Now, I’m surprised why he left their home for mine.
“What the hell are you doing in my house, Caster?” I asked him, turning away from Lily.

LILY’s POVI’ve always seen Derek as a handsome devil but seeing his brother, Caster almost made me change my perception of Derek. He was a better version of his brother in terms of looks and I hope it was the same in terms of attitude. A family doesn’t deserve to have two sons with the same attitude as Derek. One cursing sailor is enough!Avoiding Derek and his brother for the rest of Sunday was easy since they both mostly stayed in their rooms while I stayed in mine. I could only hear the doors being closed and opened at intervals. I only sneaked down at midnight to get some snacks when hunger almost crippled me.Monday mornings were the worst, not totally my best day but it’s a reminder that I have to get up and sma

“Derek Miller!”I almost melted as I turned to see Derek leaning against a car, wearing a casual outfit and a sunshade in front of my department building. He was busy doing something on his phone. A thousand questions ran through my head as I tried to reason why Derek will show up in my department without notifying me. Did something happen? Did someone die? I know Derek wasn’t nice enough to pick me up at school.Some girls were waving at him but he ignored them. I never knew Derek was that popular until today, even Scarlet had stood rooted at a spot as she continued staring at Derek with her mouth hanging open.As soon as his eyes landed on me, he signaled. I swallowed hard as beads of sweat appeared on my face. I w

We ended up going to the restaurant that he had mentioned and true to his words, it was close to the roadside but I haven’t seen any sane person taking a deserted road just because he wanted to mess up with me. I agree he hates my guts but at the expense of our lives is unbelievable.“Come on, get out of the car,” He instructed, opening the door on his side. I looked at him, with a question dancing at the tip of my tongue.“I thought you said you were picking up something. Would it be necessary for me to go with you?” I asked, hoping he’ll say no and I would happily wait behind.He clicked his tongue. “Did I say that? When did I say that?” he squeezed his eyes. I blinked as I took in his lies and deceit.“You said so just now, Derek. You said…” He interrupted me.“Get down and let’s have lunch. I don’t want mom on my case asking me why I d

Derek’s POVThe terrible beeping of my phone woke me up and grudgingly, I removed the phone from the table stand beside the bed and picked up the call without checking it twice.“Good morning, sleeping beauty,” Henry sang into my ear. I removed the phone to see that he was actually calling with Sebastian’s phone.“What the fuck do you want?” I snapped.He laughed. “He’s awake. The demon is awake,” I could hear Sebastian saying something to him on the other end of the line.“Yeah, that’s what happens when you wake people up so early in the morning,” I nagged. I sat up on the bed and became transfixed at a spot when I saw who was beside me. I closed my eyes in utter embarrassment when I remembered I’d brought her to my bed last night. I had wanted to avoid a situation where she would hurt her neck and my mom will have to come dow

LILY’S POV My eyes widened as I realized where I was. Derek was not in sight and I was grateful for that one thing. I stood up from the bed as if it was on fire and walked towards the door. On a second note, I turned back to where Derek’s laptop was and I was surprised to still find it there. I quickly ran towards the desk and took a seat, tried logging into the laptop but then, I remembered I didn’t know the password.How was I supposed to submit the assignment if I didn’t even know his password? I ran my hand through my hair, scattering it in the process. My head was in a mess. I stood up, ready to run into my room, get my phone and call Derek. Just as I turned, the wall clock, glared at me. I almost dropped to the floor out of shock. It was almost past eleven in the morning, classes start by ten and the assignment was supposed to be submitted by 12.I turned back, picked up the laptop, and

Derek’s POV“Little devil,”I heard as I stepped into Andro’s shop. It was evening and I’d left the office after I made sure I didn’t utter any statement about the document on my desk. An architect came in to ask me about my plans for the work, I told him I wasn’t informed about any work. He left disappointed and I was surprised my dad didn’t barge into my office for the rest of the day till I left.“Hey, Derek!” Henry gestured from the other side of the shop as I walked in. I decided to ignore the first person who had called me little devil because I didn’t want to believe he was actually in that shop right now. It wasn’t possible.“Derek,” A hand landed on my shoulder before I could walk closer to Henry and I frowned, turning to face Luke with an infamous grin on his face.“What the fuck do you wa

LILY’S POV I’d left school few minutes after I realized I’d missed a test and an assignment all in the same day. I bite my lip as I tried to suppress the tears, I didn’t want to cry anymore because it was useless crying over a spilled milk. I took in a long breathe before I stepped out of the cab I’d taken home. Scarlet wanted to go home with me but I stopped her. She needed to attend the next class and not take the path of failure that I was about to embark on for the second time.“Mrs. Lily,” Q called out as he opened the gate. I smiled at him, entering the house with him right behind me.“Is everything okay?” he asked.I shook my head. Nothing was okay, everything was practically wrong. “Everything will be fine, thank you,” I told him.“Are you sure? Do you need me to call Boss? If there’s anything going on, I can call him

LILY’S POV The next day, I woke up early because I had an early morning impromptu class. The information was broadcasted in the night to inform us of the 8 am class. I groaned as I read the message again, hoping I had read wrong and it was 10 am instead. It was the first time I would be having an impromptu class and how much I hate it already.A knock resounded on my door just a message entered my phone. “Hold on,” I yelled to whoever was at the door as I opened the message from Scarlet. She said she would be picking me up by 7:20 am which was twenty minutes from that time. I was not yet fully ready and I needed to get ready quickly to be able to meet up.The knock resounded again. Confusingly, I dropped the phone without replying to Scarlet and without thinking twice, I ran towards the door and opened it. It was Derek that was on the other side of the door. I swallowed hard taking in his appearance
