Lily’s POV The wedding reception was just as amazing as the church ceremony. Even though I was surprised the couple refused to exchange vows, the bride’s beauty was all I could think about. She didn’t look excited or happy throughout the ceremony and she had a frown etched on her face which she hid anytime she was introduced to guests at her wedding reception. “Why did your friend refuse the vows?” I asked Derek on our way home. The couples left a few minutes earlier than we did. What couples leave their own wedding so early?“He said he was busy,” Derek replied. I shrugged, not believing what he had said. “The vows wouldn’t take more than five minutes or even less, I can’t believe a groom wouldn’t say the vows at his wedding because he was time conscious,”“It was an arranged marriage,” He finally replied and I still di

Derek’s POV I took a step closer to Lily, not sure what to do or say. After Lucas had said those horrible things the other day, I was expecting something crazier or less crazy about Lily or how my mom found her. When my mom first introduced her, I wasn’t in my right senses to actually think about her name but now, it suddenly made sense. “My mom gave you a new name last year,” She nodded. “Yes for a reason that I can’t tell you,” She replied, breathing heavily. “Why?” I inquired. She had been repeating the words for some reason because she doesn’t want to say what I actually want to hear. “I’m sorry,” “I’m not asking you to apologize because you haven’t done anything wrong, I’m just asking you to tell me why you’re Lily Miller instead of whatever name you’re supposed to bear,” After a long silence, she managed to say. “It’s a long story,” “Luckily

LILY’S POV On Monday, Mrs. Miller called me as I was getting ready for classes. The college has been reopened and the administration said they were in the process of investigating the cause of the riot and those behind it. Mrs. Miller asked me what happened between Derek and me and I had no answer. I know it was my fault, I was the one who told him the story behind my name and when he wanted to know more, I flopped. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Miller,” I apologized. I sat back on the bed, instead of leaving the house with the phone pressed to my ear.“Lily. You don’t have to apologize for anything. I only want to know how it happened. Why did you tell him?” She asked again. “I don’t know what to say, Mrs. Miller,” I denied instead of telling the truth.“It's okay, my dear. The only problem is how persistent Derek can get. If he finds out one, he&rsq

LILY’S POV “Good afternoon, Miss, how may I help you?” “Hello, I’m Lily Miller and I’m here to see Derek Miller,” The text I received from Mrs. Miller was about Derek and she told me he was at work, sick, and being too stubborn to leave so his father demanded I bring him home. On my way here, I’d tried calling his number but he wasn’t picking up. I tried calling Q as well but he also didn’t pick up my call. If I say I wasn’t worried, I would be lying. “Do you have an appointment with him?” She asked and I nodded. “I think I do,” I answered. The lady nodded, she looked down at her laptop, checked then looked back up at me. “I’m sorry Miss Miller but I’m afraid you don’t have an appointment and I can’t find your name on the visitor log as well. I’m sorry,”“You’re saying I can’t see him without an appointment, right?” I asked here. She nodded with a smile again.

LILY’S POV “Are you being this nice because you’re sick?” I asked as he cleaned my tears with his finger. I wasn’t crying because he stood up for me earlier but I was emotional because he made me take his hand despite not knowing anything about me.“Is it weird?” He asked, laughing. I nodded. “Really weird. It makes me want to ask where the sailor that I know is?” “Sailor. Arianna is a bad influence,” I wanted to tell him it wasn’t Arianna who called him that even though she triggered it. “She’s a cool person,” I commented. That’s all I could say for the two times that I’ve met her.“Cool? Maybe when she’s not trying to plot my death. She keeps calling me her favorite cousin and still, she wants to suck the life out of me every minute,” I&rsq

Derek’s POV “You were the last person I was expecting to see in my house this evening,” Caster clicked his tongue, and walked into the kitchen. I got discharged from the hospital a few minutes ago and arrived at my house to meet Caster eating at my dining table. It wasn’t something I’d expected in any way and that was the same way I didn’t expect to be hospitalized yesterday at the hospital. After the doctor ran some tests and found out it wasn’t anything major, I was surprised when he said I had to stay back for the day so they could monitor my health status. I argued for a long time but he won’t change his decision or bulge and I didn’t have a choice but to stay. Remind me next time not to use that damned family hospital again. “I thought you died,” Caster replied, walking back into the dining room. I cocked my eyebrow. “Were you disappoint

LILY’S POV What I wasn’t expecting was Derek’s reaction. I had thought he would flip, get angry, and question why I decided to go to a party but he didn’t. He stared at me for a minute before nodding. “That’s okay, you don’t have to ask for my permission about that,” He shrugged his shoulder. I kept on staring at him. I had a strange heavy feeling in my stomach. Why am I disappointed about his response?“You can come with me if you want to,” I asked him. He pointed to himself and laughed. “You must be joking,” “I’m serious,” he raised an eyebrow and shook his head. “I should attend a party organized by a group of kids who wants to appear cool to their fellow student. That’s ridiculous, Shortcake,” He snorted. I didn’t see anything wrong with him attending the party with me

LILY’s POV“Girl, you look so good,” Scarlet gushed as she moved closer to me. She placed her nose on my neck and sniffed. I moved my shoulder and shifted her head while giggling. “You smell like a bag of money, God!” I laughed. “What’s up with you, tonight?” I asked her. Scarlet wasn’t the type to layout compliments like that. I don’t know if she was as reserved as I was or if she was giving out the same vibes she got from me but she had never been that loud about how I looked or how I smelled. It was Friday night already. When I told scarlet I would be attending the party with her, she was super excited about not going alone. She decided to pick me up tonight by eight and this was two hours after Derek left the house. He didn’t say anything about the party or asked me to be careful like I expected from him. I was actually surpri

DEREK’S POV I was at the club when Q came to inform me that Lily had called my phone. It was unusual and I knew she was supposed to be at the party as well. Thinking something could be wrong, I walked out of the club because of the noise and called her back. I didn’t act as though I could remember she had a party to attend before I left home even though I was dying to ask for every little detail about the party. “What’s wrong?” I asked as soon as she picked up the call. “Can you pick me up?” She begged. Her voice was shaking as she sounded so desperately. “FUCK! Where are you?”“I don’t know, it was Scarlet that has the address,” I searched my pocket for my car key and marched towards the parking lot. “Open your Google map and share your location with me. I’ll be three in a minute,”&

LILY’S POV My heart aches for you, Lily and yes, I’m crazy about you,” My world went silent almost immediately and all I could feel were butterflies fluttering inside of me. My heart raced at his words and I didn’t know what to make of them. “Derek!” his name was the only thing that made sense. That was all I could bring myself to say. I thought he had played me earlier when he waited for the bad guy to attack me before he intervened. I was so mad at him that I ignored him throughout the ride even though a part of me wanted to cry in his arms.“Fuck it,” his groans dragged me back to life and made me realize he was right in front of me. I grabbed hold of his hands as I looked up at him. There was a burning passion in his eyes and I found myself arching my body towards him. This was the man I hated, the one who haunted my dreams and reality, the same person I can&
