Lilly Library Duke Novels & Stories

Lily’s POV The car ride to Lucas’s office was silent, except for the faint hum of the engine and the occasional beeping of his phone. I kept my eyes on the passing skyscrapers, trying to shake the strange nervousness settling in my stomach. Why was I nervous? I had no reason to be. This was a business transaction, nothing more. But as we pulled up to the massive glass building with "Hawke Enterprises" displayed in bold letters, I couldn’t ignore the way my heart pounded.

“If she doesn’t want to go home, she can serve me here. She knows what I like and dislike.” I stiffened, dread settling in my stomach. If Lex agreed, Sade would have power over me again. I would never forgive him for that. I peeked up at them. Lex’s face remained impassive, unreadable. Was he about to agree? Was I about to be thrown back into a life of torment? “I’ve made up my mind,” Lex said at last. “Lilly will not attend to your needs. I have something better for her to do.” “Good,” Sade said, a smug smile on her lips. “Come along, Lilly. You heard Alpha Lex.”

Scrolling through her text, an unknown number draws her attention. “Hello Lily, I know you don’t know me but I think you should take up Mr.Holland’s offer. I think the enterprise would be the best for you to achieve whatever dreams you have as a business administrator. I’m looking forward to seeing you. Damson needs you. From Fin” Who was Fin? was what ran through Lily’s mind. Damson needs her for what? Confusion runs through her. Lily cannot deny that working at the company would do more good for her career path but she felt indebted to Mr.Holland also seeing that it was his wish she felt terrible.

The girl Frank had brought over was uncouth and impolite just because she'd saved Warren's life once. "I heard your mother say that you're skilled in medicine," Dorothy started. Lily said humbly, attempting to gain Dorothy's favor, "I'm studying at Janovin Medical University, majoring in medicine. If you feel unwell, please feel free to ask me anything." "You're a top student, it seems." Dorothy wasn't wowed. "You have a good daughter, Karen." Karen praised Lily openly, "She's excellent, that's true. She treated Mr. Landon from the York family once."

“Thanks for getting me lunch, Andy. My ribs are killing me.” He gives me his signature lopsided grin, “No problem, babe.” “You think she’ll be bothering us again?” I ask while nodding over to a still unconscious Maddy. “If she has any brains she wouldn’t. Shit, Lily, you beat the hell out of her and didn’t even break a sweat. Seriously, even wounded you never so much as flinched. You stood in the same damn spot the entire time. I’m the next King of Wolves, and I’ll never try to go against you. You’re as scary as the devil himself when you’re fighting,” Duke says.

Lilly said with a sigh, “we both know what we’re allowed to discuss and not to discuss. Allowed to discuss that I’ll be going to be leaving for Juilliard, for my violin, but nothing about the bond between Kenny, Axel and myself, the size of the apartment, oh that our wolves are already awake. Think that sums it up beyond the I’m only just meant to be friends with Kenny and Axel, not their shared girlfriend, thanks to the Goddess herself and the triad bond.” Luka chuckled, guiding Lilly toward the dining hall. "When did my little sister get so sarcastic? But you've got it right - stick to the script. Juilliard, violin, friendship. Nothing about triad bonds or shared girlfriend." Lilly rolled

The Duke's London townhouse on fashionable Park Lane was four stories high, and had many elegant rooms available for what was commonly known as a "squeeze." Cassy saw immediately why it was referred to that way when she stood beside the dowager duchess to greet the guests who had been invited. Lilian didn't make it because she was sick, but she sent in a letter telling Cassy that something amazing was going to happen.

Stella asked her daughter "That stupid girl thought that Lelia's crippled husband was a big man. She thought he had a hidden identity. Today, she stalked Duke to find out that identity. Duke works at a horse farm. Bella saw him enter the horse farm and asked the porter about him. She asked him to make sure the Duke works there," Lilly said and started laughing again. "Lilly, is there something you are hiding from me?" Stella asked her looking at her eyes. Hearing this, Lilly got a bit nervous and said, "No, Mom, there is nothing I have hidden from you. I have told you everything."
