I clutched my stomach and doubled over with a soft, pitiful whimper the second Lucian’s mother turned her back to reach for the medicine cabinet. The pain I performed was so convincing that even I almost believed it for a second. My face twisted, eyes watering on cue, breath coming in short, shaky gasps.The moment she faced the shelves, my expression smoothed into perfect calm. No pain. No struggle. Just quiet satisfaction.Sophia saw it.Her eyes narrowed into slits. She stepped closer, voice low and venomous so Lucian’s mother wouldn’t hear.“You’re so pathetic. I know you want Lucian for yourself. You’ve been trying to get rid of your own sister because you want him, you little witch. I will make sure your plan never succeeds. I will destroy every single scheme you have. And guess what?” She leaned in, almost smiling. “I’m going to your mom. I’m going to tell her everything you’ve been doing. Then I’ll make Lily my friend and use her to destroy you.”A small, unbidden smile tugged

Lily’s pov I walked out the front door and saw him immediately.Lucian was already waiting in front of his car, leaning against the driver’s side like he had all the time in the world. The second our eyes met, everything else Mia’s stare, the heavy air inside the house fell away.“Lucian,” I said, the word coming out happier than I meant it to.I didn’t walk. I threw myself at him. He staggered back half a step from the force of it, arms wrapping around me automatically.“Sorry,” I mumbled against his chest, suddenly feeling childish.“It’s nothing, my girl.” His voice was low and warm. He opened the back door instead of the front, which made me pause.“Lucian… what are you planning again?”His eyes dropped to my lips for a second before lifting back to mine.“Nothing. I just want to spend some time with you in the car first. I want to take you somewhere after.”I tilted my head. “Where?”“It’s a secret.”I climbed into the back seat. Lucian walked around and slid in from the other s

Lucain pov The sun had started to sink by the time we finally left the private stretch of beach. Lily’s hair was still a little messy from my hands, her cheeks faintly flushed, and every time she looked at me she smiled like she was holding a secret only the two of us shared.I drove slower than usual on the way back. One of my hands stayed on the wheel; the other held hers across the center console, our fingers laced together. Her thumb traced small, absent circles against my skin. Neither of us spoke much. The quiet felt comfortable, heavy with everything we had just done and everything we still felt.When I pulled up in front of her house the sky had already turned a deep blue-gray. I kept her hand in mine a second longer before leaning across the seat. I pressed a slow kiss to her forehead, lingering there.“I will never stop loving you.”Lily’s cheeks went pink almost immediately. The shy little smile that followed made something in my chest tighten all over again. I watched her

Lily’s pov Nora moved closer to me, her voice low.“Are they back together again?”I looked at her, not knowing what to say, then back at Lucian. He had noticed me. Without making a scene, he gently removed Sophia’s arm from around his.“Were they together before?” I asked Nora quietly, still watching him start walking toward us. “Have you seen them together before?”“No.” She shook her head. “I was just surprised to see her with him again. You know… before she left, before the whole incident happened, she was always around Lucian.”“I know,” I replied, my voice flat.Nora studied my face.“Are you okay?”“Yes. I am.” I forced a small nod. “I’ll get going now. Seems Lucian has something to tell you.”She gave me a warm, quick hug before slipping away into the crowd of students. The moment she left, the ache in my chest sharpened. I didn’t even want to hear him out. Was I jealous? I knew I shouldn’t be… but it still hurt seeing them walking together like that.He was almost at my side

Chapter 90Lily’s pov I found Mia near the gate just as she was about to leave with Sophia. I kept my voice calm and clear.“We won’t be going home together. If Mom asks about me, just tell her I’m with Lucian.”Sophia’s eyes twisted for a brief second something sharp and ugly flashing through them before she forced a small smile.“Okay.”That was all she said. I didn’t linger. I turned and walked straight toward Lucian’s car.When I opened the back door, Sophia was already sitting inside.The air felt heavy the moment our eyes met.“What is she doing here?” Sophia asked Lucian, her tone tight.Lucian didn’t even glance at her as he answered.“She’s coming home with me. If you’re not comfortable with that, you can get out.”Sophia’s face hardened.“Yes. I will get out. I can’t ride in a car with someone who framed me.”My eyes widened.“Framed you? Who framed you?”She let out a short, bitter laugh.“Stop acting innocent. You think I don’t know you were the one who put those things i
