TWENTY ONE
CHAPTER TWENTY ONELILY“Oh my God, Welcome.” she says as she opens the door to let us in.At first when I heard him say something about introducing me to some woman, I felt myself get pissed that Nickolas wanted me here to probably to see another woman. I remember thinking; the nerve of this man. But now that she stood before me I realize how much I have misjudged.The woman standing before us looks elderly even though she still looks extremely beautiful. I can picture how she must have looked when she was younger. She must have had all the young men at her fingertips in her prime. I wonder why we are here though.I see her eyes light up as she looks at me and I wonder why. She keeps on staring at me and I can sense a sort of deep affection in her heart but for some reason this does not bother me. She goes in for a hug with Nick as he heads in and turns to me to give me a welcome hug as well. Her arms wrap around me for a very long time but I do not protest, it has been a while since

CHAPTER TWENTY TWONICKOLAS“I see you people found the bedroom.” Ingrid says as I turn around and see her standing in the doorway. I know how this must look so I immediately let go of Lily’s hands on the bed and get up.I see the smile form on Ingrid’s face as she steps into the room holding a tray with a cup on it. She hands it over to Lily.“Drink this.” She says, “It will help with the anxiety.”“How do you know I have anxiety issues?” Lily says as she takes the cup from her. I can see the steam coming out from the cup.“I noticed the movement you were making with your hands earlier, right before you dashed away.” She sits on the bed beside her. “I used to do that as well. I found out that a mix of Rose leaves and lemon always did the trick.”Lily takes a sip of the cup in her hand while looking at me.“That really does help and it tastes so nice. I think I will need the recipe for it.” she says, as she laughs.“I will think about writing it down for you the next time you visit. T

CHAPTER TWENTY THREELILYI do not know what to think as I continue looking up at the entrance into the park.“What are we doing here?” I finally ask in a small voice“To loosen you up a little. You are too uptight.” he says, grinning at meBefore I can figure out a sharp enough retort at his accusations, he grabs my hand and we walk in. He pays the toll at the gate and we go into the park.Walking in front of him now, my mind can not stop wondering about what was going on back there. This is not the first time he made that move. Coming so close to me that I can smell his cologne and feel his breath on me.What game is he playing here? He did a similar thing on the boat last night and just at the last second he pulled away. He is definitely doing it to spite me at this point or maybe because he knows I still have the stupid hots for him. I was no longer a child, I wanted to tell him and whatever he had planned was not going to work.Questions are racing through my mind at this point a

CHAPTER TWENTY FOURNICKOLAS“That was not fair. You cheated.” I hear her say as she takes a spoon of the ice cream.“You are the one that ran before I was even ready. I think that disqualifies you from calling me a cheat.” She gives me a mean glare as I laugh.“No it doesn’t, you are faster than me so I had to even things out.”“Yes it does. You cheated and yet you still did not win. What else could I have expected from a Blake.”As soon as I say it, I see the change in her countenance. I definitely struck a nerve with that one.“I am sorry.” I blurt out.Why was I even apologizing? I was not wrong about it. That was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw her start running before I was even ready. “It is fine.” she says.I keep on watching her face from the corner of my eye as we stroll back to the yacht. I am not supposed to even care what she thinks, I should not have apologized for speaking the truth.“Why do you do that?” she asks me.“Do what?” “Well one minute you a

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE LILY I hear the fireworks explode in the background behind us but then again I am not sure if I am imagining it or if it Is actually this magical. The world seems to stand still, narrowing to a singular point of connection. The world around us melts away, leaving only the two of us, suspended in a realm that I do not quite understand. His lips are softly placed on mine as we are involved in this dance of longing and surrender. I feel myself leaning in closer, my body is yearning for more of his. What am I doing? I keep letting these words echo in my thoughts but for some reason I can not pull away from him. It feels like a gentle exploration, a delicate mingling of souls. Our mouths move in synchronization, a harmonious duet composed of emotion and desire. I can taste the sweetness of anticipation on his lips, a mixture of vulnerability and ardor.

CHAPTER TWENTY SIXNICKOLASAs I walk back to my room I replay all the events of the day in my head, from the moment we left the boat to the shopping, the visit to Ingrid, the park visit and of course the kiss.With every passing moment I feel myself becoming more and more vulnerable with her. This girl is playing a game here, am I really stupid enough to be falling for it? Maybe she actually does wish to make amends I can never be fully sure.I get into my room and head straight to the mini bar in the room to pour myself a glass of whiskey. At this moment I need something to calm my nerves because I know if I keep on thinking of this for long I will lose my mind.I see what Ingrid was talking about now, taking a sip of the whiskey I realize. I never stopped loving her.I had successfully bottled up all those feelings all this time just for the sake of my revenge and now that she is right here in my grasp, I hesitate.The multiple parts of my mind are engaged in a deep battle, all of

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVENLILYI do not think I have ever seen him so angry as I did last night. I knew he hated me but I had no idea it ran this deep.As I pack my things into my bag and prepare to leave I can not help but think about what might have caused this switch. I mean one minute we are having the most beautiful time with each other, sharing the most intimate moment I think I have ever had with a person.All through the night I could not sleep for fear of him barging in again and this time doing something else. I feel the fear coursing through my body even now as I sit waiting for the cab that I ordered.So this was his plan all along. Get me all comfortable with him and then explode with no form of explanation? No this can not just be it. There must be more to it.I get the call from the driver and I head out of the room, leaving everything that we got the previous day behind and going with only what I came with.I get outside and the morning sky is still dark but I certainly am

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHTNICKOLAS“You are welcome and it is a pleasure doing business with you too.” i say, as I get off the phone. That was the confirmation I have been waiting for since yesterday night. I can feel a huge smile growing on my face as I imagine the turmoil the Blake’s household will be in when they find out what has happened.Since Robert wants to play dirty, It is time to show him that two can play that game and I can roll in the mud as much as he wanted to.I pick up my phone and I dial Scot’s number and he picks up.“Do you know what time it is? Scot says. He is still sleepy eyed and I can hear it in his voice.“I couldn’t sleep last night, I was so mad about what you told me.”“Yeah I figured immediately you ended the call. I had to force myself to sleep though because I have to be at work this morning.”“I could not just let him take a huge swing at us like that and go free Scot.”“What did you do?” he asks. I can see from the tone in his voice that he is wide awake

CHAPTER TWENTY NINELILYI can not believe my ears. What did Nickolas just say? My dad? Kill someone? It is not possible. I know he can come off as a horrible person but that bit is not just possible. What is all this talk about the drugs and all of this hatred between them?My mind is spinning at this point, nothing makes sense anymore. Why would he kill Nickolas' father? I thought they were friends, business partners. Oh dear God. There is something going on here that I do not quite understand.“Dad. What the hell is he talking about?”“I have no idea either.”“You stand here and still deny it. Why am I even surprised?” Nick says. The anger I see in his eyes now is similar to what I saw last night. Deep hatred runs through his body and I am still here left wondering who to trust and who not to.Everything seems upside down at the moment.“Edward has gone to draft the papers.” I say out loud to no one in particular. “That means the warehouse attack is true. Does that mean the drugs a

CHAPTER THIRTYNICKOLASI pull up at my house still grinning. I can not seem to erase the look on Robert’s face when I walked in. The mixture of shock and eventual anger was epic. I should have done it sooner. I get out of the car, lock the door and get into my house, taking off my shirt immediately. I can not still be distracted by this happiness I now feel, there is still a lot of work that needs to be done. This is just one battle that has been won in this long war of ours and I need to always be on my toes. Lily’s face pops into my head as I step into the shower. She appeared extremely shocked to see me, it looked like she honestly didn’t know a single thing about what was going on. I shake the thought out of my head as I continue bathing. She is still one of them after all and when push comes to shove she will always choose them, just like she did all those years ago. I can not allow her pretty face to distract me like it had done on the boat cruise. All feelings for her defi
