Semua Bab Once Rejected, Now Desired : Bab 221 - Bab 230

Darwin's POV: My fingers stroked her hair and I relished in the softness of her breathing as she slept in my arms. It was peaceful, even more peaceful than I'd expected. But inside my head, thoughts raged and it kept me awake. Most of these thoughts were pleasant, taking me back to the moments I shared with Lillie before she fell asleep. We had gone from kissing and caressing each other softly to being outrightly bold and dominant. Lillie showed me a part of her I'd never seen before, a part I wanted her to continue showing. Guilt settled in. It was directed at making me feel awful for doing this with Lillie, knowing fully well what relationship she had with David. But a part of me didn't care. And that part of me was the part that had enjoyed it. The part that wanted to continue this without having to sneak around. There was a bond I felt when I was with her. I couldn't really place it but I fucking loved how she made me feel. I'd never felt this way in my lif

Darla's POV: Over the days, Logan and I became close. With each passing day, we were closer the past day, enjoying his free time in the garden. His free time because I always had the time to do whatever I wanted while he had to work and take a few breaks. The first time I went to find him in the garden was the day after he brought me flowers to apologise. I'd gone to bed, thinking about that day, how I didn't know he was the one knocking on the door, the surprise that came with seeing him and hell, how he was insistent on speaking to me when I didn't want to have anything to do with him in that moment. So the next morning I woke up, the first person I wanted to see was him and that roguish mop of hair on his head. While I had breakfast with the family, all I could think of was him and I kept drifting apart from conversations until it was time for me to leave. I didn't fail to pack lunch for him. I was going to make him taste everything he didn't have the chance t

Lillie's POV: Today was a really busy day for me as it was wash day. Thankfully, Logan had nothing doing today so he was able to help me. Grumpily though. "You always help without complaining," I said to him as he mumbled about being tired and sleepy. "But I am tired right now," He sighed and leaned against the wall behind him. "Can't I have some rest?" I wiped my hand over my dress and turned to him. I knew Logan more than anyone else and I knew that he wasn't tired. There was something wrong. "Is something wrong?" I asked. He scoffed. "Should there be anything wrong?" I shrugged. "I don't know. But you don't look like your usual self." "Is it because I decided not to help?" "Not at all. Your aura is just not it today." "Well, I am a person and on some days, I don't feel good and I just want to be left alone." He wiped his hand over his apron and stalked off, leaving me surprised. Deciding I was going to have a talk with him later, I

Several days had passed, but Darwin and I still remained steadfast. We met at random spots, shared kisses in dark corners and made love to each other once it was dark. And tonight, while getting ready to clean, all I think of was meeting Darwin at our usual spot and making love. I drew close to the door leading to David's study. This was my last cleaning for the day so I was more than excited to finish it up. But when I pushed the door open, I found David seated before his desk and poring over a book before him. And as soon as he saw me, he went suddenly still and his once expressionless face was masked in annoyance. I stood by the door, waiting for his approval for me to come in and continue my cleaning. I could tell he didn't want me here. Or maybe he was just mad at me for everything that had been happening. I knew he gave Darwin and I his blessing, but a part of me didn't believe it. A part of me didn't believe that David could easily and casually tell us both t

Lillie's POV: I was doing last minute cleaning for the day, as there wasn't a lot to be done, when Logan rushed into the wash house, breathing heavily. I straightened and watched as he bent, pressed his palm into his belly and continued to heave, raising my brows in askance. "What's wrong this time?" Swallowing, he wiped the sweat from his face and pointed towards the Palace's yard. "Don't you hear it?" I realised that I was too focused with other things that I didn't even hear the noise coming from there. I made my way towards the entrance of the wash house and as the noise became louder, I turned to Logan in askance. "What's happening outside?" "You're not going to believe," He placed a hand on his waist. "There's a mob of angry people outside right now and they're threatening to destroy the Palace. A few properties have been ruined in their anger." "Shit," I cursed under my breath, my eyes darting around the room. I was almost done, but I didn't want to
