Until She Was Theirs

Lilith's POV I had nearly sprained my ankle, but he hadn't even stopped to look. Theo grabbed his keys and left, just like that. Leaving me in a pile of my own disbelief.Still feeling conflicted, I made my way to a bar, where I currently was. The bartender gave me a sympathetic glance each time he refilled my glass, maybe it was the way I stared at nothing, or the way my fingers trembled every time I picked up the drink.People came and went around me. Laughing, talking and touching. Some eyed me, probably wondering why a woman in a tailored dress was drinking alone with mascara smudged around her eyes."Another glass?""Yes." I dead panned. Was he even smart at all? I nudged my empty cup in front of him. Of course that meant refillHe chuckled under his breath, reaching for the bottle. “Rough night?”I didn't answer.He poured anyway, sliding the glass toward me with a small nod. “Guy trouble?”Still, I didn’t speak.He leaned against the counter, arms folded. “You know,” he began

Lilith's POV Cassian's question kept on throbbing in my head.'Was it really worth fighting for?'My marriage, Theo, a space in his heart once more. I kept thinking over it on my way back home, maybe when I got back I could sit and have a talk with him. Maybe there could be a way to sort this out.The driver pulled up outside our gate and I stepped down from the cab, tipping him a satisfactory amount and making my way in. The house was quiet, even though I saw Theo's jacket on the couch. He was in.I moved upstairs quickly, the eerie silence making my footsteps echo louder than it should. Then I heard giggling, soft, playful, feminine noises. Alarm shot through me as I climbed the remaining steps two at a time. The door to our bedroom was half-closed. I pushed it open without thinking.There he was. Theo, and Selene. His secretary.They had no clothes on. Not a single sheet covered them. The room reeked of sex. Her head tossed back in laughter until she saw me, until they both did.

Lilith POV‎“Theo…. He did what?!” I stuttered, i was enraged hearing him say Theo had sent someone to him. “Lilith I need you to calm down, okay?” He said spreading out his hands trying to calm me down. “Calm down? Calm down? What the fuck do you mean calm down? He's gone too far with this,”“He's going to pay for this,” I said about storming out of the room, when I felt a hand hold onto my wrist. I traced the hand up to see Nolan’s pitiful face looking down at me.“Don't do it Lilith,” he said, calmly.“We should be grateful at least that Cassian wasn't hurt,” he said making a bit of sense but I wasn't about to agree to that just yet. I wanted the whole of hell to rain down on Theo for all his atrocities.“You say we should be grateful that Cassian wasn't hurt, but what if he was?” I said sadly, my eyes slowing gathering tears that threatened to fall.“But I wasn't,” Cassian said.“Still doesn't change the fact that Theo sent someone after you,” I said almost breaking down. “And

‎‎Lilith POV‎ I tossed about on the bed, my hands locked on the duvet, trying to find the perfect spot but I guess that was just my illusion, perfect spot? On this king size bed? This was beyond the bed but my thoughts and worries were killing me slowly. I looked up the time on my phone, it was 12:00 AM, I sat up abruptly seeing the time. I was always an early to bed person. By 9:00pm I was already cuddling my sheets or my husband. I sighed out of frustration, slipped out of the bed, walked out towards the living room and ended up seeing the light from the basement turned on. I walked downstairs to check why it was turned on.“Hello? Anyone down here?” I asked, walking slowly towards the wine cellar and ended up seeing a masculine figure sitting down. All the hairs on my body rising up in alert. He turns to look at me, my feet planted on the ground in defense, I think I remember a thing or two calian taught me about defending myself. “Hey, hey Lilith it's me, calm down,” he sa

Lilith's POVI walked about the house aimlessly, bored, tired from doing absolutely nothing. I checked around the house hoping to see maybe one or two things I could do, like get myself occupied but it turns out I had completely done them all. I had binge watched all the movies on my list and now I had absolutely nothing to do.“I think I'm just going to step out,” I said to myself underneath my breath and soon after I was out of the house dressed in a simple casual outfit a blue fitted jean, a body hug top and my hair packed up in a ponytail and of course with my dark shades.Since I am new to the area , I might as well just try out new spots in the area. My gaze caught sight of the coffee cafe nearby. I hurried over there quickly.The door bell chimed as I entered the cafe, the warm ambience was just right and perfect for me right now, the whole interior decor was just really beautiful. The bustling noise of the city didn't just lessen; it completely vanished, swallowed by the gentl
