Semua Bab FATED TO BE WITH YOU : Bab 31 - Bab 40

When Alex and I got back, we found the house empty. I was worried because it was already getting late, but there wasn't any sign of Eric or Lilly.“Are you sure you are not supposed to call Eric and know if everything is okay?”"Relax, Jess; they are both practically fine, so let's just eat and wait up for them. I am starving.” I shook my head at how hopeless Alex looked. He only said that so he could eat. I glared at him before I started setting the table.I kept looking at the door every second, waiting for the doorbell, and when it finally came, I quickly rushed to the door, ready to question Lilly.My words seized in my mouth as I saw how she looked. A frown was sitting on her face, and the way she walked past me showed that she was pissed about something.“Lilly, are you okay?” I called after her.“I'm fine; I'm just tired, so I will be going to sleep. See you in the morning.”“But what about dinner?” I asked, but she was already storming upstairs. What on earth happened? What go

It took me a while to locate my old street, but when I did, I couldn't help feeling so happy. As much as my life has turned upside down here, I still have memories that are sweet enough to remember.When I located my house, I stood at the front gate as I remembered the happy family I used to have. My memories all came rushing back to me. It seems I threw them all away eleven years ago.“Miss, are you looking for someone?” I turned when I heard someone’s voice behind me. I was too distracted to notice her earlier. The woman standing in front of me should be in her late fifties or early sixties. She had a hat on with her glasses resting on top of her nose. Her brown eyes looked warm and shone with kindness. Why does she look so familiar?“Yes, I mean no; I was just passing by.”“If you are looking for the family that once lived here, then you are not going to find them. A tragedy befell them years ago. They were such lovely couples with their beautiful children. It's really sad that bad

When we arrived at the party, the security guy stopped us to ask for an invitation, which Jess showed him, and he let us pass. We stepped into the big, beautiful mansion, and I gasped at the beauty of the house on the inside.Even though the outside was cool, the inside was way cooler. The lower floor of the house was packed with ladies; each had their own dress code. And their dresses were beautiful; maybe this was why Jess got me a dress, or else none of my dresses would have met their standards.This looks like a ladies party. I couldn't find a single man around here, except for the waiters.“I can see you like what you see,” Jess said, calling for my attention."Yes, this place is beautiful. What did you say the gathering was about again?” I asked her as I kept admiring the beauty of the environment.“Vivian is going to be modelling a particular dress this night for a brand, and the plan is to ruin the dress or perhaps let her ruin her dress.” My mouth went open as I stared at Jes

I literally turned my wardrobe upside down, looking for the perfect dress to wear. Thanks to Jess, who offered to help me arrange my room, which was now looking like a mess, while I took a cab to Eric’s office.When I arrived, it was almost noon. I went straight to his secretary to ask if he was around.“I'm sorry, ma'am, but Mr. Sarton clearly told me not to let anyone in. You will have to wait or come back later.”“Tell him it's me, Lilly; he would ask you to let me in.”“I can't; he instructed me not to call him for any reason until he says so. I know you want to meet him, but I can't go against his orders, or my work is at stake.”I sighed. I walked over to the waiting couch and sat down. I hope he was okay; the only reason he wouldn't want anyone in is if he is in pain like the last time.Maybe Alex can help; I'm sure he can enter Eric's office without permission. I decided to call Alex, but then remembered that he and Jess would be meeting with Mr. Philip today for the final con

I woke up to the sound of someone sobbing beside me. It was Lilly; why was she crying so much?"Lilly,” I called her. My voice was so weak, and so was I."Lilly,” I called her again, but she shook her head continuously with her eyes closed. Her hands held mine tightly."Lilly, open your eyes.”“Eric?”“Why are you crying?”“I'm sorry”“Then open your eyes." I managed to push myself up and lean close to her. Her cheeks were all flushed. How long has she been like this?“Then open your eyes." But she shook her head, refusing to."Lilly, please just open your eyes.” I cupped her cheek, wiping her tears off her face. I was glad when she opened her eyes and stared at me. There was disbelief in her eyes for a moment.“Eric?” I smiled at her. She caught me off guard when she rushed into my arms, wrapping her arms tightly around me as she sobbed.“Lilly, why are you crying?” I asked again, not understanding why she was crying so much. It breaks my heart to know that she is hurting.“I missed
