Semua Bab Rejected By My Husband, Desired By His Billionaire Brother: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Despite her promise to Aaron, Lily didn't return to his place after the meeting.It wasn't intentional, left for her, she would have driven back to his place, snuggled into the warmth of his body, listened to his voice and forgotten all about meeting Viktor Kane.But that was the thing with fear, once it takes hold of you, your body automatically goes into autopilot.Some people call it the flight or fight reaction.In this case, Lily's body had chosen flight and everything happened too quickly for her to process.One second, she was storming out of the restaurant, regretting allowing her greed get the better of her, nearly wheezing like a chicken and grabbing her chest like somehow, doing that would magically make the unbearable, suffocating tightness disappear.The next second, she was back at the familiar confines of her room, specifically, her bathroom, hunched over the toilet, puking her guts out.The sound of her wretching filled the bathroom, bouncing off the walls like voices

Augusta’s food has given Lily something else to think about other than the return of Viktor and William's unpleasant visit.By the time she finished her last plate, those two encounters felt like a bad memory.Aaron watched her from beside her, chin pressed against the back of his palm.He didn't eat as much as she did, but he certainly felt full from the reactions she'd given each time she took a spoon.“Feeling better?” He asked.The sound of his voice snapped her out of her little world. She looked up from the homemade ice cream in front of her and gave a soft nod.“A thousand times.”Aaron nodded along. For a second, his lips parted. Lily watched his expression, the way his eyes darted to the side briefly, contemplating, before he pressed his lips into a thin line.It was obvious he wanted to know what made her show up the way she did after leaving all smiles and happiness in the morning.“You're curious aren't you?” She asked, another spoon of ice cream going into her mouth.The

The slap vibrated through the air of the green house, stunning Lily herself more than it did William.She stared at him, then looked down at her hand and although she didn't regret hitting him for his stupidity, she did regret overreacting.Perhaps this was what he wanted, a reaction out of her. And she had just given it to him on a silver platter. Gritting her teeth, she shot a glare his way. “I don't know where, or who you got this crap from, but her your heads out of the gutters, William.”William blinked at her, slow and too calm for her liking. Like he had expected her to react this way.His hand still lingered on his cheek and when he let it slide down, it was to bend and pluck the envelope off the floor, before holding it in front of her with an arrogant confidence.“So you're not pregnant?” The question squeezed Lily's chest and no matter how she tried to ignore it, panic with a mix of dread, was settling heavily in the pit of her stomach.Instinctively, she threw a glance A

Aaron watched her leave and didn't stop her, not because he didn't want to, it because he was pissed by the decision she had ultimately made, but because he knew if he did so, if he stood up and grabbed her by the wrist right here and now, that would alter that course of everything in a bad way.A way so bad that the very nightmare he dreamt about, will come true.She'll see what a truly disgusting person he was, covered up by the smiles and air of aloof he threw around like a second skin, the messed up child that could never heal from past trauma.And after seeing all that, she'll run. She'll lose him, and the brightest light in his dark life would disappear.So despite the ache in his chest, despite the fact that his sunshine was going to fade for a short, painful while, Aaron didn't stop her as she walked out.At the sound of the study door closing, he allowed his shoulders to slouch and buried his face in his palm.This was for the better, he told himself, yet, he couldn't find it

Two days rolled over in the blink of an eye.Lily, waking up to the sound of her phone going off, took one look at the screen and realized the peaceful days she's had with Aaron we're just about to come to an end.With a sigh, she answered the phone, pressing it flat against her cheek."Tommy," her voice came out raspy from the hours of sleep.Behind her, the sheet rustled and soon, she felt Aaron's hand drape around her waist and his face nuzzle into the crock of her neck."Two days, Little flower," Thomas's voice came from the other side, edged with worry and slight anger. "You've been gone for two days and never for once thought of calling?"Well, she has. But honestly, Lily didn't have the strength to deal with Thomas's questioning. The unexpected, yet sought after peace Aaron's presence provided was too much of a snag to throw away.But, not like she'll ever confess that. "Sorry," she muttered, turning over and allowing Aaron to bury his face in her chest with a sigh. "I was abou
