WE HAVE A PROBLEM…Lilliana gulped, taking him in from head to toe when the boy stopped next to her and shoved one of his hands in his pocket in a lousy pose. Now that she was seeing him sober, she realised he was really tall and handsome. His body though not as toned as Jake's, she could tell he exercised too."This is Daren, Daren this is my girlfriend Tessa and her girlfriend Lilliana" Jake introduced them to each other, not knowing the three have already met. Daren raised a questioning eyebrow at the introduction making Jake let out a soft chuckle before saying " ...It's not that complicated" "What good luck you have" Tessa mouthed out to her bestfriend before leaning forward to shake Daren's hand.“Nice to see you again Daren" Jake scowled, looking between his friend and girlfriend. What did she mean by meeting him again?? He was only gone for a week. Unaware of Jake's inner turmoil, Daren nodded returning Tessa's smile. Letting go of her hand, he turned to Lilliana and greeted

HOURS LATER...Getting back home from the hospital, Lilliana tiredly made her way up the stairs to her room. Slamming the door shut behind her, she slid down the smooth surface in a slow defeated motion. She hugged her knees closer to her chest, tears welling up in her doe eyes and buried her face in them. Her shoulders shook slightly as sobs left her trembling lips. The whirlpool of emotions she had been bottling up all this time inside her small body flowed down her cheeks onto her forearm and finally her knees in a form of silent tears. Normally, she'd wait for her father to come home to share all of her problems with but the feeling of despair was too overwhelming for her to keep inside anymore.Sensing her owners distress, Snowflake got up from her sleeping bed and slowly padded toward the sound of the girl's sniffles. stopping a few feet infront of her, she barked "Woof!!" and nudged her with its wet muzzle to get Lilliana's attention.The girl looked up from her arms and turned

REOPENING HEALING WOUNDS...Damon waited until he was sure that Lilliana was fast asleep before going into his bedroom. He changed his clothes, put on something less restricting and grabbed his car keys before jogging down the stairs to the front door. He got in his car and drove out of the residence, leaving behind twelve men to guard the girl. Two men patrolled inside the house, keeping a close eye on Lilliana's bedroom while the rest of the men patrolled outside the mansion, heavily armed and ready to shoot on suspicion.He drove to the eastern warehouse, where the man he tortured was still being held captive. He needed to have a quick chat with the idiot he allowed to live the last time he was there. Pulling up outside the seemingly abandoned building, he jumped out of his car and rushed inside. His men bowed in respect when he walked past them but he hardly noticed, engulfed in the flames of his own anger. Sensing this, some of his men instinctively moved out of the way when they

CAUGHT IN THE ACT…To celebrate their win, Lilliana and Daren along with their friends had regrouped back at the Barnette residence. They sat by the pool, and Tessa being her usual self had gone and brought out a bottle of wine from the family's wine cellar. Out of all four of them, Lilliana had only two glasses of the fruity yet slightly bitter red liquid but they were enough to get her drunk like she had actually drunk the entire bottle… thanks to her low tolerance of alcohol. She was a blubbering mess and stumbled all over the furniture.Standing at the door, Lilliana said “See you tomorrow” waving a goodbye at her friends and waited until their car was out of sight before walking back inside the house. She went into the living room and got her phone from the coffee table. She dialled her father's number and put the phone over her ear as it rang, waiting for him to pick up.“Hey princess” the man picked up after the third ring, sounding out of breath.“Hey dad, we won the competiti

Admittedly, she was drunk this time and Damon having had sex with her could be considered as molestation as she was not in the right state of mind to neither agree or disagree to anything. But that seemed to be the least of Lilliana's problems, she didn't care if she was drunk and had sex with her father's best friend. She only cared what the said man thought of the magical night they spent together. Sitting alone in the living room with the tv playing, she kept checking her phone every now and then for a text from him but was greeted by her smiling face instead of a notification everytime. She grew agitated with every second she spent without a reply to the many texts she had already sent to Damon.Brzzzzt Brzzzzt!! Her phone finally buzzed with a call. Looking at the screen, she jumped out of her seat when she saw Damon's name and received the call."I'm in a meeting, what do you want??" The man asked, before she could even start with her pleasantries. The coldness in his tone givin
