Book By Lily Collins Novels & Stories

"I like her too. I've noticed her every time she's been here. Smart girl. Polite. Sensible. And since she knows our business, things stay in the house. If she agrees, we have no objections." Of course they'd already studied her. Lily had been to the mansion multiple times — mostly when my schedule was too loose to justify going to the office. She'd worked in my home office, shared a few lunches with the family… but this level of enthusiasm? Over just her name? They were already pairing us up, mentally decorating the wedding venue, planning our kids' future schools. I sipped my coffee. Did I like Lily? No. Not the way they were imagining. But she was… familiar. Efficient. Quiet. Bearable.

*Lily* I tapped my pencil on the book consistently, breaking the profound silence that had settled over the weekend in my room. My phone kept buzzing with calls and texts from Adrian, but I ignored it, pretending to be deeply focused on the complicated biology stuff in the book, acting like I was really into it.

Lily? 3rd post, "Breaking News: Dr. Lily Jayden, the so-called 'dedicated doctor,' accused a top sponsor of harassment. Her charms have been said to have helped her move up the ladder in more than one way. #fakelily #shamesless." As I watched the hateful comments and posts flash across the screen, my blood was boiling and my vision got blurry with anger. These weren't just whispers; they were a full-on attack on Lily's character meant to break her up.

Talk about Disney, but a beautiful beast this time. "Dude, how did you find out what books she read?” he drew out a hardcover and pushed it back in. “Lily doesn't watch porn; she just crosses her legs and reads em. Damn, these designers know what they're doing.” Adler frowned, and Rune caught the twist. Turning fully to him, he leered, “Judge from your reaction; just stick with admiring the covers because these pages are Pandora's boxes for real, so why the hell are we here? You gonna talk or what?"

I found Lily in the east wing library, seated cross-legged on the rug while Alice colored aggressively on a sheet of paper. Sunlight painted the room gold. It didn’t touch the tension. “You’re back,” Lily said without looking up. “Yes.” Alice held up a scribbled page proudly. “Da!” I crouched beside them. “That’s abstract,” I told her seriously. She beamed. Lily’s lips twitched before she suppressed it. “She’s exploring chaos theory,” I added. That earned me a look. Almost amused. “How bad?” she asked quietly once Alice focused on her crayons again.

The next day, Lily began her research in the library when Rhye brought her coffee and sandwich. "What are you reading, sweetheart?" Rhye asked her. "Reading about demons and werewolves' politics." "Um-there is nothing more than them being our mortal enemy and our own politics is boring." "I know that, but I'm also looking for something." "Something?" "Yes, I mean, something about supernatural scents. What I smell in the campground, I want to know more about it."

I groan at the thought of working the rest of the day. Lilly on the other hand jerks into an upright position, embarrassment and shame fills her face. Her eyes dart to the watch on the wall and the look of terror that floods her face almost has me laughing. But that would be very bad for the trust. “No need to worry. What I do in my office when the door is closed is nobody's business. Neither is who is with me at that time.” Her eyes meet mine and she bites her lip. My hand moves to her neck and I lead her lips to meet mine in the first kiss I have ever had with her. She tastes just like her homemade cookies. Like chocolate, caramel and coffee. She kisses me back with shy eagerness.

said Jisung admiring her guts. “You went to library?” asked Lily when she observed books in his hand with college stamp. “Yeah. This morning. I came early for that” said Jisung smiling. “That’s great. I also do that sometimes. I am crazy for reading.” said Lily with a smile. “You are?? Oh My! Me too!!! And this time one book caught my attention. I really like this book ‘Centuries Apart But Still With You’. It’s really interesting. Modern girls travelling to old era. Gives different kind of vibe, don’t you think?” asked Jisung in an excited tone.

And together with the people she loves and a second life the god has granted to her, she will continue fighting. And this is her Misadventures...The Misadventures of Anastasia Collins. . . . . . . . The end. *+* Eliot smiled when he spotted his favorite place around the area. He sit down on the grass and leaned on the tree behind him. Then he suddenly remember that he wrote something on that tree. 'I bet you could sometimes find all the secrets of the universe in someone’s hand.' The phrase that he wrote was still there. He wrote that because he was feeling emo and lonely. But surprisingly, someone notice it and even replied to it.
