As It Seems By Lily Kershaw Novels & Stories

"Is there any problem, Mrs. Lyla?" "She keeps asking for Sage." Elijah spat out in disgust and began to take his leave. I tried to stop him, but I was immediately stopped by Lyla's hand. Her expression was deadly when she stared at me, but she kept the look of an angel when she was staring at Elijah.

Later that night, Lily opened her inbox and found a strange email. No subject, no sender name. Just a line: "Watch your back. You’re playing in a bigger game than you think." Attached was a P*F: a conversation between Natasha and someone named Jimmy. Lily’s heart pounded. Jimmy = Justin Millar! She skimmed through the messages. It was simple official conversation, but nothing criminal. Still, Natasha and Justin were in touch behind the scenes. She picked up her phone and texted Nany:

Maybe Barton & Myers would send someone else. Maybe he was worrying for nothing. But something inside him tightened. If she is there… I’ll keep my distance. I owe her that. He repeated it until he believed it. Or tried to. Lily took a break in the living room, letting Gillian play some soft jazz music to calm her fraying nerves. She opened the workshop website. Her cursor hovered over the speaker list. She shouldn’t look. She shouldn’t care. But she scrolled anyway. There it was “Guest Keynote Speaker - Name withheld (New York)”

I said softly, “we’re going to perform this bond correctly. One way or another, we’re going to see that through.” I sensed her shock over our link, then cautiousness and a delicate, terrible longing. "And if I don't want that?" she asked. “Then we’re going to do it the easy way, the simple way, the way it was designed to be done the first time. But no more of this agony, no more unfinished links that ruin us both. We could do better than the hell I’ve put us through.” Lily had been silent for so long I was beginning to think she’d passed out again. But as we arrived at the palace gates, she murmured the words that quickened my pulse with hope I had believed to be lost to me forever.

The serene ambiance of the sprawling estate provided a stark contrast to the turmoil that churned within Lily's mind. After her conversation with GM Forest about Liza, Lily needed a moment of solitude to gather her thoughts and make sense of the situation. The weight of the mysterious messages pressed upon her, confirming her suspicion that they were indeed sent by a woman. The pieces of the puzzle seemed to align, pointing towards the possibility that Liza, her fiancé Blake's former personal assistant, was the sender. But what was Liza up to? That question lingered in Lily's mind, fueling her determination to uncover the truth. As Lily walked along the manicured pathway, she found herself d

I'm just someone who came to ruin their happiness in the name of an alliance. "Where did she go?" Lily whined, with tear-filled eyes, as she could no longer see Tris's reflection in the mirror. "I want to see her." "Lily darling," I knelt down beside her. "Tris is a really shy wolf. She's not as strong as your grandma's," I said, looking at Mrs. Teresa to come to my rescue.

She decided and let Nile handle the rest of the transaction. ‘Yes, milady.’ “So, what’s next…” She muttered as soon as the call ended. As Verosha was in the middle of checking the live footage on both sides of her properties, she began to notice something blinking. She made her AI system, Lily to project what she was seeing over the computer screen. It was alarming to Verosha. “Wait, a minute…where’s Lium’s map…” she thought of something when she recalled what they’d talked about before. She grabbed the map that her husband already put some markings and when she placed it over the projected blinking footage, she sighed heavily.

Ares grunts at Lily's curious, piqued question. Jordan leans and hands her phone to Lily. Upon glancing at the picture, she pulls the phone away and hides her face with a towel. "Lily, what is it?" Claire wonders. Lily gestured to glance at the picture as Claire took a look. She, too, covers her mouth. "Thea," Claire snorted. "You've got to see this." "Thea!" Ares cried out, almost had my heart jump out. "Don't look." I grab the phone. "Why are you being uptight? It's just a tattoo."

Ashton said with a little smirk and looking towards him " Why don't you understand Ashton? She thinks whatever you are doing for her is all because she is your assistant and she don't leak any information " Lisa said coming towards Ashton " Let her think whatever she wants to think" Ashton said standing up from there " But why ? " Ethan asked him looking towards him angrily " Because I don't want to hurt her " Ashton said looking towards Ethan and his back was facing the door of Lilly room " But you are hurting me " Lilly said standing on the door holding the wall so that she can stand straight

It was a treasure guarded by secrets. Lily opened it immediately. She had no hesitation and no second thoughts. Her eyes moved across the pages hungrily. Searching. Digging. Wanting more. Needing more. And every entry made her angrier. *** Charlie was nervous before his presentation today. No one noticed. I did. *** Lily’s jaw tightened. Of course she did. Elara always noticed. That was the problem. *** Charlie looked happy today. I think happy looks better on him than confidence. ****
