"Lily," Asher held her arm, stopping her from walking into her room and she immediately pried it off his hold. "What do you think you are doing?" .He rubbed his fingers against his palm before he dropped his hand to his side. "I have something important to tell you." "Save it. I don't want to hear it, Asher. Just leave me alone, please." She turned and walked into the room, about to shut the door. "It's about Liam," she instantly froze, and Asher regretted his words. He didn't want to tell her about Liam yet, but he was desperate. Lily removed her hand from the door handle and held up her stomach with it. "What do you want to tell me about Liam? That he's not good for me, that he is a horrible horrible man who wants to hurt me and take advantage of me?" His brows shot up, and she let out a humourless laugh. "Just like I expected. Get over yourself, Asher. Jealousy is not exactly a good look on you, and if you wanted to ruin our relationship, you should have chosen something di

"Are you just not going to tell her?" Christopher asked Asher as they strolled into the airport to pick up Angelica, and Asher shook his head. "She won't believe me anyways, not after last time." "So?" He stopped in his tracks and so did Asher, "You are just going to let it happen?" Yesterday, he heard everything they discussed, every bit of it, but acted the fool when Charlotte turned and saw him. He pried off the dead airpods he attached to his ears the second he noticed her standing, and when she looked at him with a mixture of emotions in her eyes, he just removed it and asked where Asher was. "I'm not just going to let anything happen, Christopher." Asher's response brought him back to the present moment and he sighed. "There's no one else but you that I can trust, everyone on my end is trying to stab me in the back for God's sake, and Lily is not going to hear a word I'm going to say. I'm almost at a dead end, but that doesn't mean I'm going to let anything happen to her. "

"You seriously kicked my man out?" Lily asked as she collapsed on the bed beside Angelica, after helping Liam take his bags to his new room. Angelica spread her arms on the bed and exhaled loudly, her cheeks threatening to burst from how wide she was smiling. "Of course, I did. I've missed my best friend, and both of you are going back to Paris together anyway," she pouted as she said the last line and Lily chuckled, before she crept into her arms. "I've missed you too, Angelica." A comfortable silence settled the second she admitted that, and Angelica wrapped an arm around her as they both drifted to their thoughts. Angelica's conversation with Christopher came rushing to her mind, and her body stiffened. She considered breaking her promise of silence to Christopher and just spilling the truth to Lily. But would she believe her? Her eyes darted to Lily, who was just staring into space and she sighed. All she wanted to do was protect her friend, but at the cost of what? She coul

Lily already accepted her fate that she was going to suffer such a fall that she might hurt her baby, and closed her tear-filled eyes as she awaited the impact of the fall, but a hand immediately wrapped around her, reducing the impact as they both fell to the ground."Liam, you..." her words hitched in her throat when she opened her eyes and looked down and saw Asher grunting in pain instead. "Asher?"Liam, who stood behind her, anticipating the fall immediately ran to her side and helped her up from Asher, and pulled her into him. "Are you okay?" he asked as he helped her to her feet, away from Asher, who was still groaning in pain. When they were leaving the room earlier, Asher, who drove Elle and Charlotte back from the mall, was quick to notice Liam's and Charlotte's glances towards each other, and the slight smirks that followed. He quickly followed after him and Lily, at first, he didn't notice anything different, but he decided to wait to be sure everything was okay, and now

Lily's heart sank into her stomach, and her eyes seemed to go blurry as the room and everyone in it seemed to spin. The taste in her mouth turned sour and she found it incredibly hard to swallow as she processed what she just heard while completely forgetting about the fact that she came here in the first place to thank him for saving her life. "You are going to propose to me?" Charlotte was the first to break out of the shock, and walked into the room. Her feelings were a mixture of shock, disbelief, and ecstasy. She expected a lot of things from Asher, she even suspected him but a marriage proposal was the last thing she expected.Asher swallowed and made sure to keep a pleasant look on his face as he made eye contact with Charlotte. "Yeah, you have birthed my child, it is only right for us to officially become family. I don't want my child being raised in a broken home."A bile rose to Lily's throat, and unable to bear it anymore, she stormed out of the room; her eyes stinging fro

Lily had the biggest grin on her face as she watched her parents exchange their vows. She had been so distracted throughout the process of preparing for the wedding that she actually almost forgot that her mother was going to walk down the aisle to finally get married to the actual love of her life. Her eyes flickered around the room, and they landed on Asher, who was already looking at her when the priest officially declared her parents as man and wife and the entire hall erupted into claps and cheers of joy.Asher's stomach tightened as he held Lily's gaze. A few days after he declared that he was going to propose to Charlotte, just so he could keep the secret, he felt like he had finally ruined all his chances with Lily, and when she spent the last few days ignoring him as much as she could, his suspicions were confirmed. But right now, as they both held each other's gaze as the crowd clapped and cheered for the newest couple, a glimmer of hope flickered at the pit of his belly.T

"Meet me in the general study in 20 minutes," Liam whispered to Charlotte and quickly walked away before she could get a chance to come up with an excuse to not meet him like she has been doing since the news of Asher's coming proposal. He was sick and tired of her cat and rat game that started since the talk of the proposal started flying around, and he was going to put an end to it today. A sigh of exasperation left Charlotte's lips as she stared at his retreading figure. She has been doing her best to avoid him the past few days because of what Asher said, and she couldn't even understand why. She didn't buy the proposal gimmick, but somehow, it had swayed her in her plans.Turning to excuse herself from Asher, she found him looking at Lily so intently and her heart dropped. Years ago, when Lily told her about her crush on Asher, she decided to hit on him out of spite, but eventually she found herself falling for him, and that was when everything fell apart, she began to notice h

"So..." Lily started, hoping to break the awkward silence as she and Asher walked back to the venue, and he turned to her with an arched brow. "Well, I never got the chance to thank you for saving my life and my baby's life." Her hand found her bump, and she rubbed it gently.Asher's eyes instantly went to the baby bump, and he swallowed. He wanted to tell her it was nothing.... He only saved the life of his lover, and a baby that was most likely his, instead his lips tugged in a small smile. "It was nothing.""Also," she rubbed her lips together, "Congratulations on your upcoming wedding, or rather proposal. I wish you all the best with the life you will be building with her."His breath hitched and he held her gaze, his eyes searching for an atom of dishonesty in her words, but either he was bad at reading her, she suddenly got better at hiding her feelings, or... she meant what she said, and the mere thought of that made his heart dropp.It felt like he was relieving what drove the

As soon as the sun set in the sky, Lily immediately tapped Liam awake to inform him that they were leaving for Paris, immediately.She had maintained a happy face throughout yesterday, despite the doom that was lurking over her head, just so she wouldn't ruin her mother and father's happy day, but the day was over. She had spent the entire night reading the news that kept popping up, and drafting plans to help manage the situation, which she was yet to fully understand the gravity of till she goes back to Paris."Do we really have to leave so early just because of that?" Liam asked, fake yawning and rubbing his eyes. He was aware of Lily's pacing throughout the night, but he pretended to be deeply asleep as he enjoyed the show. At a point he even considered secretly recording her, just so he could show Charlotte later on, but he had no means to do that at the moment."Are you seriously asking that even after hearing what I just told you?""I mean the situation is already a mess, us le

"Lily," Grandpa Larkin was the first to notice her, and Lily immediately smiled and walked over to him. Instantly he pulled her into a hug, the both of them had barely spent any time together because he had been sick, and he was available briefly at the wedding. She felt incredibly guilty for having him go through all these troubles just to get her sorry ass out of the mess she was webbed in."I see you are dressed, are you leaving now?" he asked as they pulled away from the hug, and the room seemed to grow even much quieter than it was when he beckoned on her, and when Lily looked, all eyes were fixed on her.She chuckled and bobbed her head."I really didn't think you guys would be awake, and I assumed... hoped, that you were all too tired after the wedding to check the news. Guess I wasn't so lucky."A chair creaked against the floor, and Angelica, whom she thought went home with Christopher last night, was by her side a few seconds after. "We are more than happy that we are helpin
