Asher sighed heavily as he drove into his garage, while Charlotte sat at the passenger side, grinning heavily. He knew he was in for it when she randomly showed up at the bar, and when he asked her what she was doing there, she gave the lamest excuse known to man. He still couldn't even figure out how she knew where he was.The second Christopher left abruptly, he knew it was time to leave as well as he couldn't stand to stay with her alone for another second, yet, here he was, trapped with her for the night because she had strongly objected to being dropped off in her own home, and he wasn't in the mood to handle her tantrums, so he indulged and brought her with him."Aren't you excited to be spending the night with me? It's our first night alone in a very long while, Asher." He mustered a smile as he parked and turned off the car. " Of course, I'm happy Char. I've just been worn out by the day's activities." He felt repulsed at the sweetness of his voice as he tried to cajole her.

"I can't believe we are almost done with this" Lily said, smiling, while she and Angelica walked around the Darby mansion, taking in the sight of the almost finished house. All the rooms except 3 had been finished and Lily was absolutely in love with the designs. "Our design really came to life!" Angelica chuckled and gave her the 'Oh please ' look, "it's not our design, Lily. This was all you, I only helped, and it wasn't even with the designs.""There's no need to be so humble, all this is as a result of team work. We did it together." Angelica wanted to defend her stance once more, but decided against it last minute. There was no reason to reject Lily's obvious act and words of kindness. They kept touring round the house, and each room they stepped into, Lily made sure to take a very good picture of it to build her portfolio and also to update Mrs Darby on the progress of the house. "I've been thinking of what to do with the compound," Lily crossed her arms over her chest and l

Lily was bent over the toilet, puking out her guts. Recollecting the story had sent a wave of nausea over her, and now she has thrown up everything she's had to eat today. Everything was so fucking unbelievable. The door creaked open, revealing Angelica, who rushed into the room, her eyes wide with excitement, but that fizzled when she saw Lily being over and puking. She quickly dumped everything she was holding on the floor and rushed over to Lily. She held her hair and patted her back, till she was done throwing up. ""I'm so sorry you had to come home to this, " Lily apologized as Angelica led her back to the bed, but she immediately shook it off. "There's no reason for you to apologize, Lily. You're a pregnant woman, it happens." She smiled warmly as Angelica helped her lie on the bed, "are you sure you feel better now?" Lily wanted to shake her head and tell her no, she doesn't. She feels another nausea coming, and her head was literally spinning because she was still trying

Her eyes darted around the compound, and she had to clamp her lips tightly together to avoid them dropping open from how magnificent the house looked. She always knew that the Larkin family were old money, but she didn't expect this from them. The house almost looked like a cathedral. She looked down at her dress and wiped off imaginary dust. This wasn't what she expected, and now she felt underdressed in her black gown. If she knew this was what she would be coming to, she would have worn a freaking ball gown"Lily," she placed her hand on her chest and took a deep breath, "you've got this! It's just dinner!" The words however did nothing to placate her because she knew it wasn't just dinner. She was about to meet a group of people who were supposedly her actual family, and she had no idea what to do. Initially, she decided that she wasn't going to come, but in order to prove to herself that she wasn't a coward, she found herself right here. Shaking her head, she made up her mind

Lily heaved a breath of relief and collapsed on the couch the minute the last batch of residue was packed out by the cleaners. Shortly after, Angelica joined her on the couch, looking relieved as well. She turned to her with a smile on her face and reached out for her hand. "Thank you so much for overseeing all this." When she got back from dinner last night, Angelica welcomed her with a huge cake, congratulating her on the completion of the house design. Apparently, Angelica hired extra workers to take a night shift just so everything could be finished quicker, and today, Lily finally got to see her design, complete and alive. "I'm really so grateful to you, Angelica. I couldn't possibly repay you enough" "Hey," she sat up, massaging Lily's hand gently with her thumb, "you don't have to repay me for anything, I just did my work, okay? And to be honest, I was impatient to see the design come alive fully." Lily breathed out a laugh, and then pulled Angelica into a hug. "Congratul
