*** A few weeks later ***Christopher pinched the bridge of his nose as he walked into Asher's study. "Did you pour all the alcohol in the world on your body and marinate in them? Why does it reek so much? "Asher spun around in his chair, and faced Christopher with a bored look on his face. It was true that he had been drinking, he had been drinking a lot, especially after what happened with Lily. He desperately wanted to reach out and hold her, to smile at her, to make excuses and exempt her from it all, but at the end of the day, the Morgan blood ran in her veins, and he wasn't letting a single one of them out of hook, even if it was going to cost him his soul. "For someone whose wedding is in a few hours, you look miserable as hell." He rolled his eyes and stood up. "Did you submit the papers?" Christopher sighed, and made himself comfortable, nodding. "I did." Asher smiled and nodded. For weeks now, his plans to bring Nicolas Morgan had been brewing and being set into motio

"Lily!" Asher yelled when he finally saw her after searching for the past 7 minutes, and Lily froze.Her hold tightened on the suitcase, and her heart lurched to her stomach. "It can't be, it can't be, it can't be." She chanted to herself, refusing to move a muscle, till she felt his hand enclasp around her wrist and spin her around. "It's you, " he breathed out, panting and trying to catch his breath. "Thank God I found you."It took a few seconds for Lily to fully process that she was standing right before Asher, and he was staring at her like he found his reason to breath again, and today was supposed to be his wedding day. She immediately snatched her wrist out of his hold and created some distance between them, and Asher's face fell. "Don't. touch. me!" She said, her teeth firmly clenched, as Asher tried to reach out to her again. "Lily," he called out softly, "please..."" Please?" She scoffed, " are you seriously saying please right now? ""we had a deal. " He said and insta

"Are you sure you want to go?" Elle asked as they walked into the airport, reluctant to let her daughter go a week after the other one ran away and disconnected her line.Lily smiled, tight-lipped, before she pulled her mum into a hug. "I'm going to call and text you regularly. I'll also keep an eye out for Charlotte, I'm sure she's just grieving because of the turn of events." She placed a kiss on Elle's cheek and moved away. "I'll miss you, Lily. It's sad we didn't get to spend much time before you leave." "You can always come and visit me, Dad." Lincoln's eyes widened, and it took his brain a few seconds to process the fact that she had just called him dad. "Did you just?" She smiled and nodded. It felt weird calling him that, but it was definitely a start. Lincoln breathed out a laugh and pulled her into a quick hug. "I'm happy to hear you call me that.""Attention passengers flying on Flight 123 from New York to Paris. Boarding will begin shortly at Gate 17. Please proceed to

A small smile formed on Lily's lips as she pulled into her company's driveway. If there was something she was certain about, it was that seeing her company's building will always always put a smile on her face, because 7 months ago she didn't believe she would come this far in just a few months. While she made her plans to move here, she completely rejected all of her family's advances to help her set up her own company. Her grandfather even offered to buy her a building and give her all the capital she needs, but she completely refuted all that because she wanted to build something for herself. Down payments from the clients she got from Mrs Darby's wedding, and the investments she managed to procure are the reasons she managed to skyrocket herself from the bottom barrel to the top 60 in Paris. Her phone pinged with a message from her PA, and she immediately drove into the parking lot and parked. Picking up the phone, she checked the message and it was an email notifying her that

Asher marched into the house, and all the helps immediately shuffled away from him. The head butler had warned everyone earlier that he was in a sour mood, has been for the longest time, and everyone tried their best to stay out of his way. He looked like he could have anyone's head on a plate right now, and with the power he wielded, he can, and he will get away with it.A relieved sigh left everyone's lips once he walked past them and walked into his study, but he slammed the door so hard the house shook, and they scampered away again.He hated coming home, it reminded him of the thing he lost, of the person he lost. Coming back to his house in New York was the worst; her scent and her presence lingered everywhere, their pictures that he couldn't bring himself to bring down haunted him each time he walked through the front door. He thought getting a new house would make it better... it didn't. it ended up making him miss her more, in his other house, at least he could see the thing
