At the Rothschild’s mansion. Lily got home and went straight to her room. Her grandfather was sitting in the sitting room but she didn't even notice. The old man watched her climb the twirling stairs until she disappeared before he returned his gaze back to the event on the TV. He saw everything that happened at the event. Didn't she say that her heart was dead? Just today and she couldn't even hide it from that child. The old man smiled and shook his head. “How far can you go, child?” He heard how deep their connection was. They were like mother and child. He suddenly sighed as his gaze down casted. It was his fault. If he had taken that boy five years ago, his granddaughter wouldn't be sad right now. On second thought, if he had taken the child, Caspian who had been turning the country upside down in search of Saffron would have caught on. “Margaret!” the old man called. “Yes, Master,” an old woman hurried over from the kitchen and bowed slightly to the old man. “Lily just a
“Do you remember what your father told you and your brothers on the day Saffron died?... He told you that Old Man Anderson wanted the Clinton family to use their resources to look for his granddaughter.“However, the next day, he rejected a meeting with the Clintons and ever since then, he had been suppressing the Clintons and putting pressure on the business… I want to boldly assume that Saffron and Lily have a connection, otherwise, Alex wouldn’t go up to her, nor would a heartless businesswoman like Lily care about Alex to the extent of giving him her Trophy.”As though a light bulb went off in his mind, he snapped, “Where is the invitation card to the Rothschild evening party?”“I left it in the car when you asked me to throw it away.” Before now, Caspian had only heard of Lily but never saw her as she also don’t show herself on TV. When he suddenly received an invitation from old man Anderson to attend the party, he thought the man was up to no good. How could someone who neve
Time was slowly ticking away and soon enough, some free spirits were already on the dance floor. Lily finally put on her beautiful mask, thinking to find herself a serene place to sit, away from the rowdy crowd. All of a sudden, someone crept up on her and his calm voice made her freeze.“Ms. Rothschild, can I have this dance?” Caspian…What the hell is he doing here? She didn’t invite him... Unless... Her mind snapped. It was her grandfather. So this was what he was talking about? She looked around the place for her grandfather and saw him drinking an laughing with his friends. Maybe he felt her gaze on him, he looked her way and beamed at her with his wine glass raised. “Cunning old man,” she mumbled under her breath. Caspian was already here. It would be unwise to ignore him. She slowly focused her mind. His hand was outstretched. She trailed her gaze up to his black mask and back to his hand. She knew that a day where she would have to speak to this man would come. She had p
At the parking lot... Lily strode to her black car. Before entering, she turned to the guards following her and ordered, “I want to be left alone. Watch over my grandfather. Tell him I won’t come home tonight.” The guards didn’t want to obey but after thinking it through, they nodded and stepped aside. Lily got into the car and fastened her seat belt. Just as she was about to start the car, she saw Caspian standing in front of her car. She looked through the window, Caspian’s guards and hers were in a standoff. At this point, she knew he won’t let her drive off if he didn’t get the audience he wanted, so she unlocked the door. When he entered the front passenger seat, Lily queried, “What are you doing?” Clearly she was displeased. “We need to talk.”“Schedule a meeting with the company. I don’t entertain– ““No, Saffron, this is not about business. Five years ago– ““It seem you won’t give up harassing me. Get down from my car, otherwise I’ll press charges for harassment.”“I’ve
Meanwhile, almost an hour later, at the bank of the river, far from where the accident happened, Caspian was performing resuscitation on Lily who didn’t look like she’d be waking up any time soon. “Saffron!” he yelled in panic and went back to applying pressure on her chest. “Please, don’t leave me again, I beg you. Wake up! I can’t continue living without you!” He pressed and pressed, still nothing but he didn’t give up. His eyes had turned red from crying. Caspian was almost going crazy as he pleaded with her to wake up. After countless struggles, she suddenly coughed out water.“Saffron?” He watched her slowly open her eyes before he hugged her with so much force that he almost squashed her. Not until she powerlessly patted his back did he let go. He wiped his tears, “Thank you for coming back to me. I’m glad you didn’t leave me again.” Without warning, he sealed her lips and kissed her desperately for a long time before he pulled away. Lily was conflicted. Did he truly love h
“No.”“Why? You have no sympathy for traitors.” “Because you’d be sad if I killed her.”Lily turned her head, meeting his gaze. “But I was dead.”“I never believed you died.”“Why? I could have burned to ashes in that flame.”“No body was found.”“But the news said otherwise.”“I made everyone believe so. I needed to fetch out everyone who was involved… and I did.”“But you didn’t hurt Celina.”He stretched his hand and brushed off the strand of hair from her face while saying, “You wouldn’t know.”“If you tell me, I would know.” Caspian gazed at her face for a long time before he pulled away and got up. “We should hurry along. I can spot light coming from up there.” He pointed to his right. Lily looked in the direction and indeed, there was a glow. She got up and the two resumed their walk. “After I found out, I didn’t kill her not because I couldn’t, but because she once saved my life. However, I couldn’t let her go scot-free, so I took power from her father.” “But she’s still
“They were in love?” “So it seemed.” “And your parents?” Lily queried. “I made my father resign and sent him and my mother to our ancestral home. They won’t return until I’ve dealt with Sebastian.” “What do you intend to do to him?”“He doesn’t deserve a jail sentence.”“Why? He’s still your brother after all.”“He aided Celina to kill you. He attempted to take my life several times… I could have forgiven him and just handed evidence of his wrong doings to the court, but he went as far as to produce a virus which turns humans into hybrids.” Lily froze and her mind jolted back to Madam Evelyn’s son’s condition… Was that it? As if he read her mind, Caspian further said, “The man you were almost forced to marry was a victim of Sebastian’s virus.” “What happened to him?”“I took him to my facility. The antidote is almost complete.”Soon enough, they arrived at a small town. They breathed a sigh of relief and went in search of a means of communication. Not long, they found a phone
Warning: R18 chapter. As the water touched his tanned skin, his tensed muscles slowly relaxed and he slowly closed his eyes to bask in the pleasure, in spite of the discomfort from his rod and the lust his mind was nursing. All of a sudden, he felt her butt pressed against his rod as she bent over to wash her legs. She bolted up and apologized, “Sorry, it was unintentional.”Hell, it couldn’t be any more intentional! Caspian swallowed, “I– it’s fine,” he said it was fine but his rod was throbbing and his heart was beating erratically. Seeing she was looking at his erection, Caspian made an attempt to cover it but it was for nought. Lily shifted her gaze away but blushing cheeks and tried to speak but decided against it and flattened her lips. “You can stay in front,” she moved away to create space. “And you?... What about I just leave?”“You’re wet already... I might also use your help to scrub my back.” Caspian opened his mouth to speak, but changed his mind and nodded instead
