Novel & Cerita Lilliana Reid

wasn't appropriate. superiority. The woman examined me closely and slowly lowered her sunglasses. And right away. Her eyes flashed with dislike. "All right," she said coldly. "This is disappointing." The maid next to me appeared uneasy, and I Frowned in confusion. The woman approached me with a graceful step and stopped right in front of me. "You're Liliana." It wasn't a question. I continued to nod slowly. "Yes." I became very aware of how unattractive I appeared in Darian's baggy sweater as her eyes swept over me once more.

"He recently began attending a preschool." Adan leaned back in his chair; he clenched his teeth as he thought of Leah Jennings, his wife whom he married. Or rather Louella Curran, which was her real name. For the last two years, he had thought about what he did to her to make her betray him like that and take his child from him without so much as an explanation, but he could not simply come up with one. "And her real mother?" He asked his assistant. "She is living with your wife and your child."

"We were just greeting our illustrious competitors. And yours, of course. Don't you remember? From our wedding party. We danced so much." Victoria didn't look at Lila. Her eyes, filled with a hatred that promised a slow death, were fixed on me. "You… wretch. In the middle of the Gala? Is this how you humiliate me?" "Humiliate you? No, darling. I'm introducing our family. Showing the union of the Pierce-Reeds… in all its facets." I gestured towards Lila with my champagne glass. "Lila came from London to support my candidacy… for the award for best performance in an arranged marriage. I think I'm winning."

But i still picked the call anyways. "Hi, please are you by anyways, Miss Selene Woods?" - A feminine voice came from the other end, soft, polite and yet, straight to the point. "Yes, i am she!!. How may i be of help to you?" - I replied in a wary tone. "Great!!. My name is Anne Moreau, i'm a manager at Livelia entertainment and also a friend of the professor." - She introduced herself briefly, her tone filled with strict professionalism. " Oh..." - I gasped.

“Riley could be anywhere, and Ethan… I don’t even want to think about him.” Lila shook her head, voice low. “We have to anticipate her moves. She knows how I think. How I feel. That’s her advantage.” Cade frowned. “Then we’ll force her to react instead.” Good. Keep him alive. Riley watched from a surveillance alcove, hidden behind the shadows of a reinforced wall. She had patched herself together after the explosion, exploiting the chaos to stay undetected. Her knife was gone, but she had more dangerous tools: psychological manipulation, cunning, and a deep knowledge of Lila’s weaknesses.

Fenris whispered, and Lillia’s eyes lit. “Well, I had other interests.” “Don’t tell me, you missed out on your own Veil Night?” Kyla asked, almost shouting as her palm flew to her lips. “And what interest could that be?” Selene asked. Easy. Lillia smiled. “Books.” A collective sigh filled the room from the maidens as they watched Lillia with sudden exhaustion. “That will not do.” Selene exhaled slowly. “You cannot win over His Majesty like that. Well, except you’re reading passionate romance stories that could give you one or two pointers.” She teased and heat crept up Lillia’s neck.

Then a low laugh carried across the water. Lila stepped into the light from the far end of the dock. She wore black leather from throat to boots. The whip hung coiled at her hip. Her hair was pulled into a severe ponytail. Her eyes looked almost black in the harsh light. “You came,” Lila said. Her voice carried clearly across the distance. “Alone. How disappointing. I expected more fight from Dean Breed’s pet.” Jenna kept her voice even. “I came for my family. Let them go and take me instead.”

I walked down the marble stairs with my hand on the railing. The house was quiet. For a moment I felt like I was the only person alive. Adam was a busy woman. Unlike me who stayed in the shadows, Adam liked the spotlight— everything was to help me anyway.

*Tring* Before it could ring again, I pick up the telephone. "Ethan! This is Rita. Come down, I am dropping you home. I will not hear any excuses, I know you are hur-" I keep the phone immediately disliking the female’s tone the way she was trying to flirt with Ethan. Snap that bitch’s head! I stand up, not liking the closeness between me and Ethan. Dakota pulls my nerves to again gawk at our mate's enchanting eyes and swift him off his feet and carry him in a bridal style to the cabin and have him right now.
