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
It was yet another painful evening in the Clinton family, for the servants who prayed day and night, to see the end to the fights and schemes of one of the wealthiest and influential dysfunctional families in Snow city. Just like every other servant, 22 years old Saffron went about with her chores in the kitchen, but for some reason, she had been having an ominous feeling ever since she woke up that morning. However, she brushed the feeling off, assuming It was going to be another hellish fight between the Clintons again. So she made provisions to seek a day off tomorrow morning to escape whatever might be happening in the family, because, when the Clintons fight, the servants don’t escape the aftermath.Everyone in the Clinton family walks on pins daily, fearing that they might fall into the family’s unending schemes to bring one another down, so who was Saffron to not be scared for her puny life? One might ask, what are the Clintons fighting for? Well, the Clintons owned a large c
Ten minutes passed and Saffron asked permission to return to her quarters. It was already late into the night and she was starting to feel lazy. She assumed it was her body calling her to go to bed. The subordinate didn’t speak but stepped out of the way for her to leave. However, just when she was about to walk past him, Saffron began to feel weird. She clutched her chest as she felt her heartbeat accelerating. Her organs were burning and her head was starting to become heavy. “What is wrong with me? Please, help me! I feel... hot! My inside is burning up!” Gerald watched her without a word as she started to tear at her own uniform while screaming for help without offering her one. Instead, he locked them inside the room. Saffron’s throat started to turn dry as her gaze turned blurry. Before she knew what was happening, she swayed and fell toward the subordinate, but he stepped aside and let her body fall like a sack of grain. Almost twenty minutes later, Caspian came out of the
He knew she was stunned. He knew he was sending her on a suicide mission, but the unfeeling Caspian didn’t care. He ignored her and sauntered to the dressing table to get his hair dried. At the same time waited patiently for her reply. “F–First Young Master, I’m sorry I won’t dare to–“ He abruptly cut her off with the words; “You wouldn’t dare to offend them but you didn’t think twice to offend me?” How was she supposed to tell him that she didn’t understand how it happened? Who would believe her part of the story?Staring at her reflection from the mirror, he commanded with a threatening tone, “You have a month to think about it and give me a positive answer, otherwise, I’ll give you hell, Saffron. Now, get out!” …Until Saffron left the room with her disheveled uniform, her mind couldn’t register what just happened. There were too many things for her brain to take in. What totally shut her mind from thinking was his proposed deal. How can she kill the sons of Mr. Clinton? Not o
