Paperwhite Lily 소설 & 이야기

White flowers for my innocent daughter. He'd also brought bags of candy and small toys. Chocolate chip cookies. Gummy bears. A coloring book with princess themes. Things that would have delighted her beyond measure. Liam knelt, arranging everything with a solemn care that broke my heart. Then he did something that shattered what was left of my heart. He knelt, and with the sleeve of his expensive suit, he gently wiped the glass over Lily's photograph. He polished it until her smile shone through, bright and clear.

“It’s nice to see you again, Miss Collins.” “Lily. You can call me Lily,” she said, smiling. I nodded and gestured for her to sit. As she settled, I turned to the helper nearby and instructed, “Bring us another set of hot tea and a cup of black coffee for me.” “Right away, Alpha,” the omega bowed before leaving. Once we were alone, I leaned back and asked, “So… what brings you here?” Lily reached into her bag and pulled out something that caught my eye—a fancy envelope with gold writing and a wax seal. She handed it to me with a smile, like she was hiding something exciting.

“Relax. It’s probably a gift. You get packages all the time.” “Ava,” he said louder now, crossing the room fast despite the pain, “don’t open it.” That tone made her pause. Her fingers hovered over the tape. “Why are you yelling?” “Because I told you not to...” She pulled the tape anyway. The flaps opened. White petals spilled into view. Full, thick blossoms. Long green stems. Elegant. Expensive. Lilies. Ava smiled before she could stop herself. “Oh. These are beautiful.”

Lily thanked him and hurriedly arranged the flowers in a vase, her eyes gleaming with appreciation. After the floral display, Kade handed her the small gift bag. Intrigued, Lily carefully opened it, her heart racing with anticipation. As she unveiled the contents, her cheeks flushed crimson—a pair of sleek leather handcuffs and a discreet box. A set of three silver balls on a string, reminiscent of the ones from the previous night, greeted her surprised gaze. Kade, with a wicked smile, looked at her expectantly. Lily was left speechless, caught between embarrassment and a sudden surge of excitement. The unconventional gifts stirred a mix of emotions within her.
