LILIANA SPENCER…..
A smile broke into my lips as I looked at the reflection before me in the mirror.The face looking back at me was flawless and so beautiful. It left me speechless. Lucy, Noah, and Cassie were smiling at me."You are smiling all the way to your eyes, my Luna." Cassie, my personal maid said, holding a mischievous smile on her face."Is it really me?" Pointing my finger at the mirror I asked Cassie to confirm that I wasn't hallucinating."Yes. It's really you, Luna" Noah, Beta Killian’s sister, gave me the response while grinning ear to ear."Now tell me how it is?" Lucy, my makeup artist asked me, pushing Cassie aside."It's beautiful," I told her from my heart. I didn't expect that from her."Now it's time to get dressed now." Saying that Lucy pushed me to my dressing room. I put on my red gown which was off-shoulder with a long slit from the front. My long slim white leg will be exposed when I walk. I came out from my dressing room and Cassie helped me to wear my golden color sky-high heels with straps."Now you are all ready, my Luna." Cassie cheerfully announces clapping her hands."Mark my words, every eye will be on you at the New Moon festival party. You are so beautiful that no one can resist your beauty. I'm afraid that someone will abduct you." Cassie giggled saying the last line.“Don’t worry, no one will dare to put their eyes on what belongs to Alpha Zade. They are aware of the consequences.” Noah said and I smiled shyly.“I’m so excited how Alpha will react after seeing Luna. I’m certain he will fall in love with my Luna again and again.” Cassie teased me, making my cheek flush.“Now you all go. Alpha will be coming anytime soon.” I tried to shoo them away before Zade arrived in our room.“Are you ready, Anna? I don't want to be late for…..” Zade walked inside the room opening the door and stopped saying when his eyes met mine. The trio left the room in a rush after bowing their heads to him.I noticed how his eyes traveled on every inch of my body from top to bottom admiring my beauty. I didn't miss how his eyes darkened seeing me. But it vanished the next moment when his eyes found mine again.“Let's go. We are getting late.” Here comes his cold reply. Not a single word of compliment. In four years of our marriage, not a single word of compliment has come out of his mouth. Now I have stopped expecting to get it from him. It can be I'm not beautiful in his eyes or it can be he doesn't know how to compliment someone. He's very bad at expressing himself.“Why have you bathed in perfume? I like your natural fragrance. I have told you many times not to use them on you?” Zade yelled at me. I was confused. Should I take it as a compliment that he liked my natural fragrance or should I take it as a scolding?“I will remember from now on. It will not happen again.” I said meekly then walked close to him to help him with his tie. He could never tie his tie properly.I could feel his heated gaze on me when I was busy helping him with the tie. I felt like melting away under his intense gaze. So to avoid the awkward situation I tried to lighten the environment.“You know you are looking more handsome in this suit that I had chosen for you? But did you like it?” I asked him in a soft tone and waited for his response.“It doesn’t matter if I liked it or not. What matters is It suits me. And I know you will choose the best for me. You know very well what is good for me. I never doubt your choice. You know me better than myself. So, yes. I always trust you blindly. Because I know you love me crazily.”I looked up instantly to meet his eyes which were looking back at me. But to my dismay, there was nothing in his eyes except coldness. I flashed a smile and pulled him down by his tie to place a soft kiss on his forehead.“I know, you don't feel the way I feel for you. But I believe one day I will be able to win your heart.” Saying that I let go of his tie. But he didn't move nor look away. He was still looking into my eyes. It was a complicated expression he was holding in his face that I could not put my finger on.“What if you failed to win my heart?” His question stunned me but I composed myself and flashed a wide smile.“It doesn't matter to me. I love you so much that my love would be enough for both of us to spend the rest of our lives. It's okay for me if you don't fall in love with me. You just stay with me forever. And don't stop me from loving you.” He didn't say anything, just pulled back and looked away.“Let’s go.” He forwarded his arm for me to hold and I happily held his arm and we both headed outside to leave for the New Moon festival. It was held in Alpha King's place. It took three hours for us to get there.I might say the place was decorated beautifully. As we walked inside the venue some Alpha and Luna approached us to talk. My eyes shined and my heart squealed with delight seeing the Lanterns hanging over a distance.“Luna, Liliana. We know you have a handsome mate and you are afraid someone might steal your man in your absence. But we are your friends. You have to draw out some time to spend with us too. Come with us.” Luna Athena teased me while asking me to join them.“It's nothing like that. I trust Zade. Even if someone tries to approach him he will never lift her, let alone betray me. I have full faith in him.” I said confidently while beaming with pride.“Wow! Lucky girl.” Luna Athena patted my arm while Alpha Jasper stated.“I must say, Alpha Zade. You are a lucky guy to have such an understanding and amazing Mate. You must have done some good deeds in your previous life due to which you got a Mate like Luna Liliana. She blindly trusts you.”“Yeah, you’re right.” Saying that he pulled me more into his arm while serving my arm. And I felt heat rush to my cheek making me flush.“Men are not trustworthy. It is sheer foolishness to trust men.” Luna Athena spat at Alpha Jasper while glaring at him.The environment was getting heated up so I tried to ease up. “Luna Athena, come with me. I have a lot of things to share with you.” I pulled her with me to a corner away from there.It was clear, they fought before coming here. Small fights between husband and wife are common. Until it's become a threat to your relationship.“What was that Luna Athena? You are a Luna. Losing patience like this doesn’t suit you. You should get a hold of yourself. Learn to Keep the conflict between you two confined to your room, don't let it become a public matter. It will only make things worse.” I tried to make her understand but she just smiled sadly.“I know. But when he was praising you and telling Alpha Zade about being a lucky person to have a mate like you it felt like he was mocking me for doubting him. His relationship with Miss Lisa is way too close. But he keeps saying that they are just good friends. You tell me, would you allow a girl to go so close to Alpha Zade?”“I would never allow that until my man showed any interest in her. If you find your man, let her come close to him, don't say anything, just keep your distance from him.Sometimes you just gotta leave people alone to see where you really stand in their life.”“And if you see he doesn't care about you then leave him. Forcing someone to be with you who is not into you anymore is sheer foolishness. I hope you make a wise decision, dear.” I patted her arm and she pulled me into a warm hug.“Wish me luck, Lily.” She said, squeezing me a little and I smiled.“Isn't it Gianna!” My world stopped spinning on its axis at the mention of that name. I felt my heart skip a beat and instantly pulled away from her to see the owner of the name.“Alpha Zade’s Ex is back!” Luna Athena exclaimed in utmost shock. But my condition was worse. The scene took away the earth which was under my feet till a moment ago, the whole sky fell on me within a moment, when I saw Zade hugging Gianna with a smile. He never smiled at me in our four years of marriage.Is my marriage at stake?LILIANNA SPENCER……I stared at the woman clinging onto Zade. She was indeed looking very innocent and beautiful. While dressed in a white and gold evening gown, her beautiful black hair was straightened and hung loosely on her back. She had minimal makeup on her face which made her look like a fairy. But when did she come back?“Look, Luna Liliana. Now your marriage is also at stake. Better you tighten your rope before he slips away from your clutch. It is not too late yet. Don't let others take what is yours. Be careful.” Saying that Luna Athena walked away toward the bar. ‘How am I supposed to hold him back when I could never make him mine even after four years of our marriage? Let alone making him mine. I was not able to bring a smile to his lips. Now look how happy he is with his love. His long lost love.’ Zade's eyes locked with mine as I was looking at them even Gianna noticed me and flashed a smile my way. Leaving Zade she approached me. I was confused about how to react. “
LILIANA SPENCER…..I let Killian take me out of the venue to the car. All the way tears kept streaming down my eyes. “Lily, don't take his word to your heart. You know he's hot-tempered. And will always spout nonsense in anger. He didn't mean that.” Killian tried to console me. But there was no word that would make me feel good. “Killian. I know Zade more than anyone else. And remember one thing people always don't spout nonsense in anger. Sometimes people speak the truth in anger, what they can't say normally and keep inside their hearts. So, never take the words said in anger lightly.” Killian didn't say anything after that and guided me to the car and held the door open for me. I got into the car and settled in the backseat. I watched him walk over to the trunk and he came back in a minute holding a first aid box in his hand.“You burned your hands in order to save Gianna. Still not asking for ointment. Are you a fool!” Killian scolded me rightfully, taking my hand in his apply
LILIANA SPENCER“Let's Divorce.” His words gave a whack on my heart with a thorny lash. There were no emotions in his eyes when he said those painful words to me. My heart clenched painfully making it hard for me to breathe. The tears that were forming in my eyes fell helplessly. “Is it…. because of Gi….Gianna?” My voice broke down even though I was holding my fist in a firm grip to stop myself from breaking down. “It's nothing like that. It's good for both of us. We both are tied in a meaningless relationship. A relationship cannot survive with one-sided efforts. You have been trying your best to save our marriage life. When I could not move on from my past. You deserve better, Lily. I don't want you to suffer anymore.” I kept silent. My heart was fragile and breakable, yet he still had the guts to tear my worth apart. How can he be sure, I will be happy away from him? I was happy thinking that he was beside me even though he didn't love me. I opened my mouth to say something bu
LILIANA SPENCER…..I never thought our marriage would end up like this. I really believed I could make a place in his heart. As he has a big heart of gold. I still remember that day, four years ago, at the coffee shop where I used to work, I accidentally spilled cold coffee on a customer because a customer bumped into me from behind. But that hot-tempered person, despite me asking for forgiveness several times, was not convinced and in anger, he took hot coffee from a waiter and threw it at my face. But before it could land on my face someone stood before me saving me from burning. When I looked up I met with his forest-green eyes which were looking back at me. I was mesmerized by his beautiful eyes. The man was tall and well-built. He had a perfect jawline and his hair was combed meticulously. His every move was graceful and calm. His brows were arched together in concern. And he asked me, “Are you alright?” An icy-cold voice came out of his throat. It was low and hoarse and i
THREE YEARS LATER……The night was still young and many luxurious cars and reporters geared up with cameras and equipment at the gate to the Royal Phoenix Hotel. The Royal Phoenix Hotel was the most prominent in D.C. It had gabled roofs, large bay windows, and decorative sculptures. The interior was similarly designed. The Golden Wing Age Group was hosting a party here tonight and had invited the business tycoons of D.C. to the event. A black Benz pulled over before the hotel. The Miller family was one of the Mighty Three, the top three most reputable families in D.C. Their financial power and Influence were undrivable in D.C.“It's Alec Lightwood. Alec Lightwood is here.” Loud cheering sounds came from reporters and they rushed over with their cameras. Alec Lightwood stepped out his feet from his car on the red carpet elegantly. He was dressed in an all-black suit while wearing his charming smile on his. After him, a gorgeous woman dressed in a Royal Red gown got out of his car.
ZADE MEADOWS……I woke up to the constant ringing of my phone. The moment I opened my eyes I felt a rush of pain in my head forcing me to clutch my head between my palms. I felt my head pounding nevertheless, I looked for my phone which was still ringing on the bedside table. I swiped the answer button without looking at the screen. “Hello!” “Zade, something big has happened. Someone had purchased the company shares in large quantities. The buyer now owned 51% of the company shares. Now that person is the Major shareholder of the company who can be a threat to your position.” I froze in my place. My headache became worse hearing the news. “Who is the Buyer?” “G.M.”“That's it.”“We could not find out the full name. But don't worry he will come to the shareholder meeting at 11. So please, get yourself together and come to the office.”“Yeah, I will be there. But this headache is killing me.” I groaned. “I know you have a hangover after what you did last night. But whatever you did
GRACELYNN MILLER…..Zade’s face was worth watching when he saw me walking into the meeting room. And his jaw almost touched the floor when he heard my real name. “Is there a joke going on here.” Zade’s chair fell back when he stood up with a jerk roaring like a mad bull. I had to close my eyes because of the high-pitched sound. “Liliana, what's all of this? It's not a soap opera but my office. You can't play a drama here.” I took a deep breath to calm myself then I snapped my head at him. He looked really pissed. ‘If you are like this now then how will you react when I take over your company?’ I wanted to laugh my butt off thinking about his reaction. “Mr. Meadows, what made you think that I'm making a drama here?” I raised my brow at him. “And if you forget who are you talking to right now so rudely then let me remind you, that I'm the Major shareholder of your company. You can't disrespect me like this. I will not stand it. I know, you must be shocked after discovering all of
GRACELYNN MILLER……He was a jerk and always will be a jerk. How could he hurt me again? He's hurting the same place again and again. When he apologised to me first I thought he had changed. But he proved me wrong the next moment when he said I trapped Alec for a better life. So it was clear from his side he thinks of me as a money-minded gold-digger girl who is after money. And I had chosen to marry him for the greed of money. He thinks so low of me. I don't understand what I had seen in him back then to fall in love with a jerk like him. I think I was blind back then.“Hey!” I halted on my track when Beta Killian stopped in front of me on the ground floor. “Good to see you again. Welcome back. I don't know what to call you now, Gracelynn or Liliana.” Killian sounded cheerful. So I flashed him a smile. “I wish I could say the same to you. I'm not happy to see you. And yeah, you can go with Gracelynn. That Liliana you used to know, died long ago. So there is no need to recall her any
