"I will be there in 5 minutes, Mom," Lilian replied, trying to sound brave and calm, the opposite of what she was battling with the storm inside. She cut the call with her shaky hands and looked at the screen with her blurred vision. Her lower lip trembled in threat of tears; she glanced around the room haphazardly to determine what to do. Her lungs felt short of breath as she started hyperventilating, and her legs were too feeble to stand. There wasn't any clarity in her foggy mind to think straight.Aiden was asleep on her mattress, where she had tucked him in, but there was a high probability of him waking up. Her mother was alone in the hospital, and she needed to get there the fastest way possible. But how was she supposed to go? Who was going to take care of Aiden? What would her mother's condition be at this moment? All alone, without anyone by her side! But all of the above, was her father going to be okay?"What happened?" She heard a faint voice in the background, but her br

"Can you please shut up now? I will figure it out myself, so please leave me alone for a moment!" Rosie retorted over the phone angrily and cut the call in frustration, her nostrils flaring as she inhaled an ample amount of air to battle the chaos inside her mind.Lilian looked at her mother worriedly, wondering what might have transpired to turn this calm individual into a wild being."What happened?" The daughter inquired, seeing her mother squeezing the mobile phone in her hand tightly. Rosie glanced at her daughter, rubbing her temples. At the same time, she sighed deeply, trying to be more composed to behave appropriately in the medical space."Harry's secretary keeps calling. He was talking about some important deal and all... I don't know what to do." She informed."Is it an urgent matter?" Lilian asked, her eyebrows frowning at the topic she hadn't thought of. Who's going to look after their company now? Her mother was a professor at the u

Lilian sauntered into her room, feeling the chamber she missed so much. It was calling her in yearning, wanting the owner to provide the fondness and consideration she used to give. It was a marvellous space that embraced her in her highs and lows. This attic was given her authority after multiple attempts at crying and weeping like a cranky child. The younger girl used to share a room with her elder sister, but growing up, she demanded her own space. The Evans house had no area left to award her, but being the most pampered child of the family, the parents renewed the attic below the roof of the house in a friendly, cosy space. Lilian liked this space; the little vintage theme she demanded was so worthy of comfort.The girl walked towards the window, gently touching the yellow lightning. She had hung it beautifully in her college days. She clicked the button, and the room enlightened with the bravest vintage colour, asking her to hug the bed tightly. Lilian looked out of the window.

The closeness felt euphoric and Lilian's muscles were too stiffened to show any movement with her mind too cloudly to think of any sane thoughts. She couldn't take her view off the lips in her vision, they felt so soft and kissable. Her hand unconsciously reached up to the side of his face, caressing the masculine skin on the cheek of his beard. Those lips were the same one she always dreamed of and now, they were just a few centimetres away from her. That part of the skin of his body was crying at her for the touch and Lilian was slowly leaning in with her fuzzy insane brain. "Oh my, sorry. Jesus!" A voice vibrated in the surroundings and Lilian realised the situation she was in. She instantly moved two feet apart from that elegant male, looking in the direction of the door with guilty eyes. "What's the matter?" Richard asked in a dangerous tone to Jack, who was standing in the doorway covering his eyes with his hands. "I was just here to say that you can also go home, sir. We ar

Lilian allowed herself inside as she twisted the door knob and entered the small forbidden area beyond her reach. Her brain cells screamed out to limit her boundaries that were embarking on the hazardous words of her husband when she crossed this door without a permit. For someone who was hurt so many times, why was this girl so foolish to dig a deep grave for herself?The lady shuts off the door behind her with the slightest of noise and her eyes skim through the darkest atmosphere of the blackish walls. The bright sunrays were trying to enlighten the space but they were blocked back by the thick material of raven silky curtains. The lights were still off but in the slight luminance with her dilated eyes, Lilian could see a sleeping body on the giant bed of the master bedroom. She squinted her eyes but failed to notice further details in the blurry atmosphere.Her feet walked up to the window and her hands gripped the silk material to slide it open a little. The light travelled in wi
