Chapter 17"Why would I do that?" he asked and began walking away with his hands buried in his pockets. The music was playing that made it hard for Lily to speak clearly with him. "You're the one who told me that I can ask for your help!" she exclaimed, trying to be heard beyond the music. Everyone has their own worlds. Drinking, smoking, flirting, and dancing. So, this is what they call a bar. But then, all the people she can see walks and moves with authority and power, just like the man she's with. "Did I?" he asked and chucked. He is obviously taking her as a joke. "I am not joking here, Frederick." Lily said coldly, already upset. That made Frederick stop from walking. In the middle of the crowd, Frederick looked back at her and finally faced her again with the thinnest deceiving smile on his lips. "Why me? You can choose Leonora and Rafael…or your husband," he shrugged. Now, she gets why he is being like this. It seems like he just can't believe that Lily chose her among th
Chapter 18Lily fell asleep as Aemon carried her in the room. To hear what she said hurts him. It's like a knife stabbed on his chest. He feels weak to find out what Lily felt all along. Well, she was being true. He hasn't told her anything about him, even the darkest past he has. While Lily, she kept telling him everything, showing her how torn she is. "Stop it," Paul said when they were both getting drunk. Aemon called him to be here just to drink with him. He did not listen and continued drinking. "You can't blame her, Aemon. She's your wife but you're being a stranger to her," Paul said and yawned. "It's hard to tell everything, especially the past I have. I'm not over it," he clenched his jaw and massaged his forehead. "Well, you have to. This marriage won't work if you will always set a huge boundary between both of you." "I need time, Paul...I thought that was what we need," he sighed as he smirked weakly. The next morning, Lily was alone in the room when she woke up. The
Chapter 19"Is this his house?" Lily asked as she walked on the long pathway with his extensive house in the end. Her eyes were busy roaming around. His land is really huge and wide just like theirs. "Yeah! I have been here once," Mica commented and giggled. Yes, she brought Mica with her to be safe. Lily and Aemon just got along yesterday. It was the first time she felt like she's really married when Aemon told her everything. Even the past he had with Frederick. She now heard both sides and it seems like they feel the same. Pride is the only barrier between them. None of them will carry it down. "He is alone here?" Lily asked again when they were near the house. It's really silent. "Yes, just like Mr. Cooper before you came…he brings her girls here though," Mica whispered in the end. Lily simply shook her head. What should she expect from a womanizer like him? He definitely lost count of how many women he brought here. "Don't tell me Aemon brought one before?" she asked in panic
Chapter 20"Invade me, Aemon Cooper." As soon as she muttered that, Aemon blocked her lips with his lips. Their tongues began to fight like swords. She could not help herself but to close her eyes while feeling all his touch. His hands are traveling all over her body. He even removed all her clothes in one snap. She just found herself naked in front of him. "Sh*t, Aemon." Lily cursed when he licked her neck while massaging her prestigious mountains. "Ahhh! Ohhh!" she moaned when Aemon licked her nipples like a lollipop. He doesn't look like a man with no experience. All his moves give her so much pleasure that she can't help but to scream her moan. "I'm coming in, Lily." He whispered while they were both chasing their breathing. She spread her legs wide open and was prepared to be marked by Aemon. "What are you waiting for?" she asked when Aemin froze for a while and hesitated to do it. "Are you virgin?" he asked all of a sudden. Is he really asking this in the middle of what th
Chapter 21"She is a painter," "It seems like Aemon Cooper finally have his weakness,""She's the perfect bait to tame Aemon," Her eyebrows crossed as she heard those noises. She still feels weak that she couldn't move a bit yet. Her entire body was frozen for a moment as her consciousness was still coming back. When she blinked her eyes repeatedly, a blurry image was shown to her. She can see three men wearing black with a mask, hiding half of their faces. Guns, there were guns in their pockets and knives around their waists. Her whole body feels heavy. "W-Where am I?" she asked in her weakest voice. The three men stopped talking when they heard Lily speak. All their eyes were drawn to her, looking so weak while all her hands and feet were tied together. "Look, who's awake!" The one man said and giggled before he excitedly went in front of her. Lily buried her nails on her palm in order to pull herself back to her senses. Because at that moment she woke up, she felt like she was
Chapter 22Do you believe in bad spirits who possess people? Because on that day, maybe Lily was possessed by a devil. Her hand holding the knife that she buried on the man's chest shivered. She fell on the floor weakly as if she lost all her strength after seeing what she just did. Her hands filled with blood and this man who's dead with his fingers cut around him. Maybe she was losing her mind. Everything is now processed in her head. She was the one who killed him and did this cruel thing to him. Lily was trembling in fear. She did not just kill, she killed brutally. "Lily!" Aemon's deafening voice echoed in the entire place when he saw Lily sitting in front of the dead body of the guy. But it was not what he only noticed. His wife's hands are covered with blood. Lily was glued on the floor. She can't move a bit while looking at the guy. The devil they saw at her earlier vanished as if she just pulled herself back to her senses after ending two people's lives. "Holy hell," Fre
Chapter 23The room was silent. Lily was alone with all the paintings she painted before. All these paintings were hers when her father was alive. Now, she was only staring at the white and blank canvas in front of her. She was holding the brush in her grasp with a lot of things in her head. How is she supposed to start? Her hands were afraid to begin and paint dirt on this tidy canvas. She couldn't think of anything to paint. "You don't have to force yourself," Aemon uttered as she entered the room in peace. She pulled herself back to her senses and nodded. "Yeah, it's kinda hard." She replied. Before, there was her father who guided her in everything. Her father gives her tons of ideas and tells her what she has to change and to improve. He was there with all these paintings around her. And every painting she painted before there was a memory behind it. "What do you have in mind?" he asked as he pulled another chair and sat beside her. Lily froze and was lost for words at that mo
Chapter 24The woman was standing on the balcony, spreading the smoke from her cigarette in the air. The only person who cannot leave her mind was her, the new Cooper. "You know we have to defeat Aemon," the man said beside her and blew out a smoke. They were both looking in the sky, contemplating. The Coopers are not really easy to defeat. They are too strong to sue and they always block their way. "We still have bullets to shoot," the man said and threw the cigarette on the floor before stepping on it. The man beside her cackled. "Really, huh? Now that they have Lily Cooper?" he cackled and shook his head. They both didn't expect that she'd become like that. She was innocent, like the normal humans around. Her face is angelic and it is far from what they have seen. She looks like a monster, worse than that. "She is still the weakness of Aemon Cooper. As long as she's there, we have something to defeat Aemon." The woman now said. As they both witnessed, Lily becomes his weakness
