Lilian Bryant Novels & Stories

The room goes silent and everyone focuses on him, “It's astonishing to have all of you here, it means you're willing to fight for your leader and we appreciate it. As you know, we're going to war tomorrow and, as such, we should be prepared, you might have been brief about what to expect, but Ashanti is going to give you guys detailed information” I walk forward and pay attention to the men and strong woman in the room, these are people willing to fight for reasons they don't even know, and I appreciate the loyalty. We're almost forty if I'm not mistaken. I look around and watch as they look at me with eager eyes, Caleb gives me a nod and I smile, “Some of you may know me, others don't, but

When Lynne finished her rant Midnight huffed and stomped her foot "I hope you die tonight." She stormed out of the room and Lynne just stood there certain with her choice. ___________________________________________________________________ The night came slowly for Lynne and the fight she had with Midnight was still fresh on her mind but she brushed it to the side because there was a more important matter at hand. Why would she care about the brat, she was doomed anyway that doesn't change the fact for Lynne to pity her. She was at her range again to let off steam and ease her nerves, as Lynne fired another knife to its target, a small rustle from the bush made her stop midway, she eyed the

Lilian stood silently, her expression unreadable as she observed the exchange. Lily’s face flushed with embarrassment as the realization hit her. Lilian had been there the whole time, witnessing everything. Worse still, she would have seen the invitation Lily had sent earlier—the one clearly meant to exclude her. Now, there was no hiding the fact that her presence wasn’t entirely welcome.

"I'll go find the chairperson first. Meet you inside." Before he could respond, I slipped out of the car and into the glittering throng. I headed for the administrative offices, but rounding a corner near the service entrance, I heard familiar voices. Hannah. And with her… Lilian Grace. Lilian. One of the students I'd anonymously sponsored through design school years ago. She was brilliant, fiercely independent, and now a lead designer at Lumina Corp, a major player who had publicly bowed out of this particular bid due to other commitments.

I slump in my chair and sigh, “I don’t know what to do.” “Explain” “I’m sorry. I-I can’t” I don’t want her to see my shame, my failure. “I am here for you, Lillian; I am always here for you, and I will support you no matter what you have done or haven’t done. Do you understand me? I love you, Lillian. There is nothing you can do that will make me feel ashamed of you” I look away; she hit the nail on the head with that one. “Lilly, is this about Dean?” I look at her sharply but don’t say a word, “I know he isn’t good to you. I know you keep it to yourself.”

Lilian maybe also sensed that and tried to come clean, "Look, I am sorry for lying to you. I shouldn't have but I never considered myself as a Marshall girl after I left my home nor I had thought of getting back in this town ever. It's just a coincidence. And I am not here to pester you for something. I know I am not qualified for any job at your company. So I won't mind if you don't allow me to work here. I can just work in some other company or something." Shane shrugged her explanation for her lies and raised his brows confused, "Aren't you going to leave the town?" "No, I want to live here for now with Aiden. Our deal was to get Lahaina out of your life and it's done already." Lilian rep

a calm voice said behind them. Caleb and Jane looked up to see Lilian resting against the door frame, watching them with her hands crossed. "If you step into that car and drive off to whoever this Brian is, I can assure you that nothing is going to change. Those two bitches in there," Lilian pointed into the house. "They'll continue to fight over my brother's heart while you'll be curled up in a probably uncomfortable bed, crying into your pillow. So you decide, Jane, you're his wife. Are you willing to fight for the one you love, or you'll just run off like a coward that I know you're not?"

“Bastien has handed many of his company affairs to Miss Lilian lately. That shows a lot of trust.” Lilian smiled at once. “Yes,” she said. “Bastien trusts me because I’ve proven myself. I’ve always relied on my own ability. I’m not like some women who only move forward because they have a man helping them.” Her eyes came to me when she said the last part. But I did not react. Kian looked at Lilian and asked, “What did you study?” Lilian paused. “Business management.” “Where?” Kian asked. She named a school quickly, but her tone had changed.

With Felix supporting her, she saw no need to humble herself further. Sure enough, Lilian grew frantic as she gripped Luke's arm with a pleading look in her eyes. Her parents already knew about everything. "Help me! Or Mom and Dad will be furious with me. If Sean hears about this, I'm done for. I really know I was wrong." Who would have thought that a woman with a past working as a hostess at a bar would have such a powerful patron supporting her? And that person even commanded the respect of George, one of Yartford's most infamous figures.
