Lillian Of Turin Novel Spoiler Novels & Stories

Slowly, every horrifying detail of how my life suddenly went up in flames in a span of three days started falling into place like a nightmare I couldn't wake up from. “The man–” I mumbled in a trembling voice. Lilian’s smirk deepened. “Finally catching on, are we?” her eyes twinkled with satisfaction. “Clever girl. It was all part of my plan,” she paused. “Just a few casualties along the line.” “Casualties?” I mumbled. “You killed him!” I gasped, finally understanding why it sounded fishy that the man suddenly killed himself. “Suicide was convenient, don't you think?” Lilian shrugged nonchalantly. “Tied up everything neatly.”

“I only met him once, and he threatened to kill my son if I didn’t do it. Please, I’m begging you. My son is all that I have.” Am I supposed to pity or believe her? Most people break under torture. Others only break when family gets dragged into it. But the information she just gave me wasn’t enough to survive eight hours of pain. Whoever sent her must be powerful enough, enough to make her not spill his name easily, even after being threatened with her son’s safety. Someone else was hiding in the shadows, and pulling the strings. “Please, help me, Liliac,” she says, now she knows my name. “He is all that I have.”

She sighs heavily on the phone, “Yes, people do that. Jesus Lilly, you should. We don’t want you getting cozy with a serial killer, now do we?” “Well, if he’s a serial killer, then you have a pretty good description of him and his friends, plus the surveillance cameras from The Bar.” “You are so literal, Lillian. I was just kidding, but seriously you didn’t even check to see if he had Insta or F*?” I roll my eyes, “You know I don’t have any of that shit.” “Humph, you really should get on this fantastic bandwagon called life.” “I’m quite happy with the status quo, thanks anyway”, I chuckle, “Listen, I gotta go.”

She is stronger than she thinks. “I told you everything when you were my friend. Why would I have lied to you then and what makes you think I will tell you anything now?” Lilith sits up, fire blazing in her eyes. Yes. I needed her to become mad. “But what are you not telling me?” I push again. “I told you everything!” She yells at me flinching themoment her lungs expand covering her ribs with her one hand. “Tell me again!” I shout jumping up from the bed. I start to pace up and down, listening to every single word as she goes over her story again, but this time she leaves out the Crazy part. The part where his eyes changes, where he suddenly have a change of heart.

“I never intended harm.” “But you caused it.” Lillian finally looked up. “You’re not your mother, Sophie. You don’t know how to wait. You don’t know how to temper fire. And fire — when uncontained — burns everything. Even the people it loves.” Sophie blinked. And for the first time in years… She saw a villain in someone who once held her hand. Lillian walked over to a drawer and pulled out a folder. Thin. Elegant. Burnett-sealed. “I kept this from Mary. I was meant to deliver it to you when you’re much older. But I never did.”

Chapter 16: Lilian POV: I conducted chemical tests on the nitrate and observed that it had been tampered with. Based on this evidence, I concluded that it was undoubtedly a criminal act. Drew, the unpleasant individual, had previously vowed to make my life miserable. Thus, I strongly suspected his involvement. To ensure the safety of the remaining medication I had available for Eli-Dad, I disposed of it, as it was highly probable that it too had been sabotaged. Following that, I proceeded to Lucas' apartment to discuss the matter with him.

Clutching the bag to my chest, I sprinted toward the door, the heat chasing me like a living, breathing predator. But just as I burst outside, relief flooding my chest, a force slammed into me. I hit the ground hard, the air knocked from my lungs. My bag spilled across the dirt, the precious crest and photo tumbling free. Lillian stood over me, her lips twisted in a sneer. Her usually pristine appearance was marred by soot, but her expression was cold and calculating. "I knew you would try to escape, you worm." she hissed, her voice venomous. "I saw you in the garden with Lucas. You think I didn't notice? That little act you pulled, letting him touch you, letting him want you?"

"How did you find us?" The man removed his hood showing his chocolate hair and dark eyes. "You can't hide from your fate forever Lilliana." "Sweetie. Can you go get your father? He's in the study." Lilly placed the child on the ground placing herself between the man and the child. "I told you I don't want to be involved in this. We went before the war so we could be left alone. How did you find us?" Lilly’s hair started to glow with a red hue, basically signaling for the man to back down.

Toby mumbles words to Cedric and Jane, and I watch as they perform many tests. Cedric pushes both Lilly and Bastian’s beds almost together but not touching. Jane then takes Lilly’s small hand and places it in Bastian’s big one. “Is that necessary?” Luther stands with his arms folded around his chest and his eyebrow raised. Toby doesn’t answer right away. He injects both Lilly and Bastian with something, then walks over to my family and me. “It’s essential if you want Lillian to survive. For some reason, both went into severe heat and rut without marking. Though it’s not unusual for the female to go into heat when she meets her mate, for it to be so, bad Lilly would harm herself...” Toby shak

she dismissed him haughtily. Kiran’s eyes bore into her. “What secrets are you keeping? Tell me!” “Who the hell do you think you are? Why should I tell you?” Lilian curled her lip. “If I hadn't been afraid you’d cut the threads—if the person before me wasn’t you—I’d have killed you a million times. Kiran York, you’re nothing but an amateur to me. If you can master Level Seven of The Joyful Odyssey, I’ll tell you the secrets about Zara and the Threads of Fate.”
