Elena couldn't be happier as everything got settled between Willow and Aiden. A wedding date was fixed afterwards. It was in the next month. Yana was still not so happy with all this happening but she didn't have anything to say or do not when Willow looked so happy with it and everyone had already accepted the relationship. Shane could feel Yana was blaming him for making all this happen. Though he didn't do anything like that, he didn't entertain the thought of coming clean. Willow was more than just happy and it only mattered to him. The next day when Shane went to another company for a business meeting, Nathaniel was with him. Just when he opened the door and was about to get down of the car, his eyes caught the sight of Lilian entering the same building as well. Shane got paused for a moment and sat there still. "Aren't you getting down?" Nathaniel asked him with a frown. Without uttering anything, Shane got down and again turned to the entrance. Lilian wasn't there anymore.
As much as Lilian was sure she would get this job, it didn’t go down that way. And it didn't happen just for once but several times. No matter how well her interview went, she wasn’t called for the job.At some point she took it as if it were an indication that she shouldn't actually live here but leave only or someone was behind it. She shrugged off the latter option as the first one seemed to be right to her. But she wasn’t leaving before Aiden's wedding. It would hurt Aiden and she didn’t want to do it again. Just before the wedding preparation got started, Karen suggested they should shift to a resort and hold the ceremony there. Everyone accepted the idea gladly. Aiden and his parents were seeing through Karen's thoughts but they weren't left with the option to say otherwise. When the wedding date was a week due, all of them were shifted to the resort. Settling down in their respective rooms, they got downstairs and sat in the living room and started gossiping. Shane was sup
Not being able to sleep, Lilian was out to have some fresh air. Job rejections shouldn't matter to her anymore as she had already decided to leave. But yet something about it was bothering her.She was so sure that someone was behind it. Someone was out to get her. And she wanted to find out about the person before leaving. She had a pretty good idea about it though and she didn't know what she had done to earn it except for _"Lilian?" A soft manish voice from beside interrupted her chain of thought and she turned to the person, startling. "What are you doing here now?" Shane asked her normally."Getting some fresh air I guess." Lillian shrugged and shot a question to him, "What about you?""For the same reason as you." Shane replied, somewhat hurt for she didn't look happy or something seeing him. If anything, he could name it, she was disturbed. Still, he didn't budge. He wanted to talk to her. So, he tried again, "How is the preparation going on?""Good." Lilian answered. "Your
When the sun rays flickered through the curtains, Shane stirred in his sleep and opened his eyes. But immediately, he felt he really shouldn’t have. His headache was so severe, his head felt like splitting in half. But when his eyes caught sight of Lilian peacefully sleeping beside him, his headache was forgotten for a few moments. He stared at her calm face. A few hair strands came on her face and he involuntarily reached his hand and tucked them behind her ear. His hand traced her cheek softly in the process. Lilian opened her eyes yet his fingers stayed on her cheek stubbornly. He didn’t put any effort to pull them back as well. Lilian didn’t seem to mind it anyway and smiled at him. Shane stared at her as something stirred within him.Their staring moment came to an end real quick as a realization dawned upon them. They weren’t supposed to wake up together this way.They sat up straight immediately. As the comforter slipped down, Lilian's eyes widened finding her with no clot
Lilian though thought about leaving the town after Aiden's wedding, she didn't know why she changed her mind. She wanted to reach Shane at the wedding party but didn’t get the chance. No, if she wanted she could but she didn’t know what to say to him then.But just after the day of Aiden's wedding, she tried to reach Shane. Though she was still clueless, she knew it was inevitable with the blurred lines between them demanding some clarification.So, she tried to call him. It was switched off and then she got to know about his out of town meeting. She waited for his call or a text and kept staring at her phone. But nothing came. Neither his call nor his text.She called him several times as well but it was switched off then. She typed a message only to delete it instead of sending him. It continued until Margaret appeared at her doorway.As much as she was frustrated and unhappy at the turn of events, she couldn't help appearing happy as after Aiden's wedding, the family was more than
6 Years LaterA cartoon show was coming on television and Angel, a five-year old girl was sitting on the couch, watch it. She would have enjoyed it on some other day but not today. She looked sad. "What happened, Angel? Why are you looking sad, baby?" Vina, the nanny of the girl asked her again but Angel didn't answer this time as well. From the time she got her back from school, Angel wasn't cheerful as ever. Vina could feel she was sad but no matter how much she tried, the little girl wasn't saying anything. She thought of calling her mother but dropped the idea at last thinking her mother would call her in some time anyway. But when the call didn’t come as expected, Vina could feel she was busy. So, she didn't want to bother her. Instead, she thought of taking Angel out to the park to play and to have ice cream. She agreed to go to the park but her mood didn't get better. All she kept staring at the little kids at the park. Sighing, she got Angel home and called her mother. A
Angel was having her ice cream and walking by the sidewalk with Vina trying to hold her hand. But as always, Angel was in a cheerful mood and almost jumping all the way.But then she got bumped into a young man. "Watch out." Angel said angrily as the ice cream was dropped from her hold.The young man she bumped into stopped in his track hearing the voice of a little girl. He turned only to find the little girl glaring at her. She didn't look scary anyway but cute. She seemed so cute to him that he got staring at her. "You dropped my ice cream and you ruined my dress as well." Angel complained looking at the ice cream fallen on the sidewalk and then pointing at her dress where it was stained. "I am sorry, baby girl. I didn't mean to. It was an accident. I am sorry." The young man apologised involuntarily."It's not okay." Angel pouted. "Angel, it’s okay baby. He didn’t do it willingly and said sorry, right?" Seeing Angel like this, Vina tried to handle the matter as she took out so
