Semua Bab Rejected By My Husband, Desired By His Billionaire Brother : Bab 51 - Bab 60

Lily pulled out her phone as soon as she walked out of Thomas's office.When she was sure that she’d gotten far enough, she dialed Aaron's number. The line rang only for a split second, before it was answered.“Sunshine?”Lily was a bit taken aback. Not by the name—no, she'd weirdly come to terms with that—but because of how different Aaron's voice sounded on a call.She'd been too occupied and pumped up to notice it when she called him earlier. But now that she was hearing it again, he sounded like a fucking—“Lily?” The very same voice that had caused her thoughts to wander, snapped her out of those same thoughts. “You okay?”She blinked a couple of times and cleared her throat. “Yeah, I'm…I'm fine. I just wanted to find out what happened to Jordan? You know, after we left and–”“He's being taken care of by Abel,” Aaron interrupted, but he didn't sound rude. He sounded almost polite and considerate, if Lily dared to say.“Why'd you ask?” Now it was Aaron's turn to question her.“I h

Lily always hated the morning sun streaming through her curtains, along with the faint chirping of birds that greeted her ears as she stirred awake. It gave no room for her to curl back under her duvet and drift off back to sleep after many hours of her brain running a marathon at night, entertaining thoughts that weren't exactly necessary.But unlike other mornings, today was a different case. She woke with the chirp of the birds with her mind sharp, her resolve firm. Today, she had one goal—visit Jordan fucking Wellington.As she slipped out of bed, the memories of what happened yesterday still lingered like smoke in her chest. It made her stomach churn in a nauseous way, but she didn’t allow that deter her. She needed answers and today, she was going to get them.After a quick shower, she got dressed in a fitted cream blouse tucked into dark jeans, pulling her hair into a neat ponytail and slipping into her flats. There was no time for glamor.Taking one last look in the mirror,

Aaron didn't let go until they had arrived besides Lily's car.“So,” he started as he slipped his hand out of her and tucked it into his pocket.Almost immediately, the absence of his palm hit Lily, along with the cold breeze. She flexed her palm a couple of times to distract herself from the sudden absence.“Did you get the answers you wanted?” He asked. Lily nodded slowly. “Yeah. I did.” Then she offered a small smile. “Thank you, Aaron. Really.”He chuckled, a deep, warm sound that made her feel oddly light. “You’ve been thanking me a lot lately,” he teased and took a step closer. “If you really want to thank me, then…”Reaching out, he gently took her hand before she could react.“…let me be your escort to the upcoming auction event,” he said with a glint of mischief in his eyes.Lily blinked at him, caught off guard, before letting out a soft laugh. “Isn’t that asking a little too much?” She said.Aaron only smiled, tilting his head slightly like an innocent devil. “Not really.

Megan's eyes flew wide open the moment she heard this, her expression morphing from the composed one she tried so hard to wear, into one of utter horror."You did what?" She asked, voice trembling.In response to her question, Lily smiled.Anger spiked through Megan's veins in seconds. She shot up from her chair and before she could stop herself, her hands went up in the air, getting ready to land a clean hit on Lily's cheek.But at the very last second, Lily caught her wrist and with surprising force, pulled her forward."Don't be barbaric," she chided, her voice dangerously low. "We're having a conversation like two adults, there's no need to resort to violence. Don't you think so?"Megan's nostrils flared and pulled her hand back. Her lips parted, but before words could come rolling out, the door behind her swung open with so much force that it slammed against the wall.Megan flinched, her heart jumping into her throat as she turned and saw Thomas and Joel standing by the entrance.

The auction day arrived faster than Lily anticipated.By evening, she was all dolled up, dressed in the outfit she and Annabelle had picked out a few days prior with her hair elegantly pinned into a loose bun.Behind her, Mary gushed at the end result of her handiwork."Your mistress, you look so beautiful tonight," she complimented, eyes glimmering. "So many beads are going to turn tonight."Lily chuckled.When she heard her phone vibrate, indicating the presence of a message, she grabbed it off the vanity table and saw a text from Aaron.[I'm here. Are you ready?]The text message read. Reading it, a small smile curved on her lips and she replied.[Be down soon.]With that, she gathered her things and with one last 'thank you' and several more praises from Mary, she hurried out of her room.Arriving at the Grand foyer, she spotted Joel walking in. The moment he saw her, his eyes brightened."Oh my, Little flower, you look gorgeous!" He exclaimed. "You'll make all the young boys swoo
