Until She Was Theirs のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Cassian's POVMy concern for Lilith grows stronger with every passing minute, I'm so tempted to tell Calian but Lilith is just going to kill me. At least a solution is in progress once she gets the job in Nolan's work at least that should reduce our worries.“Hey Cassian,” a masculine voice said from behind me, making me stop repairing the bike I was fixing. I recognize that voice anywhere it is no one other than the troublesome viper. What could he possibly want right now? I dropped the wrench that I was holding on the table and turned to face him. “Hey viper,” I said, faking as though I was happy to see him.“I see you're repairing a bike, trying to make ends meet right? Huh?” He said, holding his hands together staring directly at me waiting for a response. “Isn't it obvious I'm repairing a bike? And you've got any other job for me? Ain't this been my business huh?” I said, walking closer to him. “Chill bro, no need to bring the heat…” he said, stopping mid sentence and then chuc

Lilith's POVFor what felt like a second, I thought my eyes were deceiving me. I blinked over and over again to be sure that my eyes weren't deceiving me.Standing right in front of me was the conniving snake I never thought I would lay my eyes upon any time soon. What the hell was he even doing here? Did Nolan invite him over? Did Nolan tell him to come and settle our differences? No he could never, Nolan wouldn't do something so annoying like that. A million questions coursing through my mind. The movement of feet, the sound of my breath, every sound around me dulled into a distant background noise. I caught my breath, holding it in forcing my face to comply with me into the kind of calm I've practiced for years being in the business sector whenever a crisis arise.“Well, isn't this a pleasant surprise,” Selene said, her voice light and melodic breaking the silence that ensued between us.My gaze still locked on Theo, a whirlwind of emotion displaying in his face. Surprise first, c

‎Lilith POV‎Getting the job of the marketing manager was big for me and while Nolan and Cassian told me they had a job ready for me, I definitely wasn't expecting a job of being the marketing manager and of course becoming the marketing manager came along with its perks. From the files it was obvious that this position has been vacant for quite some time and I had a lot of space to fill and occupy.I started making plans, signing off documents and making sure everything was attended to, nothing left untouched. I am someone who's very thorough. I had high hopes that if I had fixed my mind on these documents that I would stop thinking about Theo and Selene showing their silly faces in Nolan's office, I lied to myself. I want to make him pay! I want to teach him a lesson! I'm done feeling sorry for myself! That's all I could think about, whilst signing off the documents when a slight knock on the door drew me out of my thoughts. I looked at the time to see that it was 8:00pm, office

Lilith's POVI paced about the living room, my mind racing with millions thoughts and questions, wondering and hoping nothing had happened to Cassian seeing the way he had just left like that.“Lilith please can you just sit down, nothing is going to happen to Cassian,” Nolan said sounding so carefree.“How are you so sure nothing is going to happen? You know how Cassian can be, he could be going after them right now and we're just sitting here,” I said, pacing the room. I was extremely worried seeing how those guys were armed, something dangerous could happened, he could be hurt, heck he could be dying at this moment.I picked up my phone and dialed his line, but it ended up just leading me to voicemail.“Fuck! Where are you Cassian?” I muttered underneath my breath.Nolan walked up to me, strapping me with his hands. “Stop! Cassian is fine I assure,” he said, looking straight into my eyes.“How are you sure?” I asked, my gaze still fixed on him.“Because I've known Cassian for about

The room was dead silent, the kind of silence that only happens when something big happens. The light from the projector flickered out, and for a long moment, no one moved. Then, a loud applause roared in the room hesitant at first, then it kept on building until the entire conference room seemed to echo with it.I sat back on the chair, my hands folded neatly on the table, watching the faces around me as it shifted from surprise to admiration.“Unbelievable,” someone muttered. “We have been trying to get MorganTech for months. How did she?”I wore a small, polite smile, acting as though I did not hear the whispers that followed.“Ms. Lilith,” one of the senior partners said, his voice filled with that mix of approval and disbelief that always made me feel uneasy, “I must say that presentation was... remarkable. You have just secured us the biggest marketing contract of the quarter.”“Thank you, sir,” I replied smoothly. “It was all team effort.”It wasn’t obviously. After I had made
