Узнайте большеI stared at my reflection in the bathroom mirror, my hands gripping the edge of the sink as I took slow, shaky breaths. My eyes were swollen, rimmed with red, and my face was blotchy from all the crying. No matter how much I tried to steel myself, the pain still clung to me, a dull ache in my chest that refused to fade.I turned on the faucet, letting the cold water run before cupping it in my hands and splashing it onto my face. The chill shocked my skin, grounding me in the present. I repeated the action a few more times, feeling the tightness in my face ease slightly. Then, I grabbed a small towel, wetting it with the cold water before pressing it against my puffy eyes. The cool fabric soothed the sting, giving me a moment of relief.I breathed deeply, counting in my head.One. Two. Three.I needed to pull myself together.Zara was probably expecting me to lock myself in my room, drowning in my own misery. She would want me to be broken, shattered beyond repair.But I refused to gi
The fact that Kai didn’t come after me felt like a blade sinking into my chest. It wasn’t just the betrayal that hurt—it was his silence. His inaction.If he had cared, if I had meant anything to him at all, he would have followed me. He would have tried to explain, to tell me I hadn’t just imagined the fragile connection we had been building. But he didn’t.He stayed.With her.The realization made my stomach churn, a sick feeling crawling up my throat. I wrapped my arms around myself as if I could hold my breaking heart together. The garden, which had always been a place of peace, now felt too quiet, too empty. The scent of flowers, once comforting, was now cloying, making my head spin.I sank onto the nearest bench, my legs barely holding me up. My hands trembled as I pressed them against my stomach, a protective instinct kicking in. The baby. Our baby. The child growing inside me—a child who had no idea what kind of world they were coming into. A world where their father didn’t ev
Climbing into the car, I carefully placed the platter on my lap, making sure it wouldn’t slide around during the ride. As the driver closed the door and walked around to get into the front seat, I pulled out my phone, debating whether to text Kai.Instead, I just leaned my head against the cool glass of the window, watching as the car pulled away from the house. The trees blurred past, the golden light of the setting sun casting long shadows across the road.A strange sense of peace washed over me. Today had been productive, and I had really enjoyed spending time at Selina’s place. The warm atmosphere, the laughter, and even the smell of freshly baked cookies had made me feel at home. It had been a nice distraction from everything that had been on my mind lately.The car moved smoothly down the familiar road leading back to Kai’s mansion. The sky had darkened slightly, the golden hues of sunset fading into soft purples and blues. I sighed, hugging the platter of cookies closer to my c
I nodded and followed her, my mind still stuck on everything she had just said. The pain in her voice, the way her hands had trembled—it all stayed with me.We reached the front door, and Selina pulled it open. A tall, blonde man stood outside with a bright smile on his face. His blue eyes sparkled with warmth, and he looked effortlessly charming in a simple white button-up shirt and dark jeans.I could already tell this was Elliot before Selina even said his name.“Lily, this is Elliot,” she introduced.Elliot stepped forward and held out his hand. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Lily.” His voice was smooth, friendly.I shook his hand, noticing how firm his grip was. “Nice to meet you too, Elliot.”He didn’t stop smiling as he looked at me, his gaze lingering a little longer than expected. “I have to say, you are absolutely stunning.”Heat crept up my cheeks. I wasn’t used to random compliments like that, and I glanced at Selina, who just smirked knowingly.“Come on,” she said, waving f
Selina picked up her phone from the counter and quickly dialed a number. I watched as she spoke to the florist, her voice warm and confident. She laughed at something he said before nodding, even though he couldn’t see her. After a moment, she hung up and turned to me with a smile. “Elliot is on his way. He said he’d be here in about fifteen minutes.” I nodded, still processing the fact that the florist was a man. I didn’t know why it caught me off guard—maybe because I had always pictured florists as women. But of course, there was no rule saying men couldn’t do the job just as well. I shook off the thought, not wanting to sound narrow-minded. Meanwhile, Sophia finished placing the last batch of cookies into the oven. The scent of warm chocolate filled the air, making my stomach growl softly. She wiped her hands on a towel, then turned to look at us. “All done,” she announced, smiling. “These should be ready in about fifteen minutes.” Selina gave her daughter a fond look before
The car drove smoothly down the road, and I watched as the scenery changed. Trees lined the streets, their leaves swaying gently in the breeze. The houses we passed were big and elegant, each one looking more expensive than the last. After a while, the car slowed down and turned into a long driveway leading to a large, beautiful house. My eyes widened as I took in the sight. The house was massive, with tall windows and a grand entrance that looked like something out of a magazine. The walls were painted a soft cream color, and a neatly trimmed garden surrounded the front yard, filled with colorful flowers. It was the kind of place that made you stop and stare. The driver pulled up in front of the house and parked smoothly. He turned off the engine, then stepped out to open the door for me. I quickly grabbed my phone and slid it into my pocket before stepping out. “Thank you,” I said, offering him a small smile. He gave me a polite nod before getting back into the car. As he drove
I carefully took the small piece of paper Kai had given me, smoothing out the edges before typing Selina’s number into my phone. I double-checked to make sure I had entered it correctly, then pressed the call button.The phone rang twice before she picked up.“Hello?” Her voice was polite but cautious, like she wasn’t sure who was calling.“It’s me, Lily,” I said quickly, hoping she would recognize me.For a moment, there was silence, and then her tone completely changed. “Lily! Oh my gosh, it’s so good to hear from you! How are you?” Her voice was warm, full of genuine excitement.A small smile tugged at my lips. “I’m good! I hope I’m not bothering you.”“Of course not! What’s up?”I shifted on the bed, gripping the phone a little tighter, my fingers pressing into the cool metal. “I actually need your help,” I admitted, tucking a stray strand of hair behind my ear. “The planning committee put me in charge of flowers and decorations for the Moon Festival, but I don’t know any florists
Lily’s POVKai kept staring at me, his silver eyes locked onto mine, making my face grow even hotter. I wasn’t sure if he was studying me or just enjoying watching me squirm under his gaze, but either way, I couldn’t take it. I bit my lip and looked down, feeling shy all over again.After a moment, he let out a small breath and stepped back. “I need to get back to work,” he said, his voice calm, as if nothing had just happened between us.I blinked up at him, my heart still racing. “Oh… right,” I mumbled, trying to snap myself out of the daze he had put me in.“The Moon Festival is around the corner,” he continued, stretching his arms slightly. “There’s still a lot that needs to be done.”The mention of the festival triggered something in my memory, and suddenly, my eyes widened.The festival. The decorations. The flowers!The planning committee had put me in charge of handling the decorations and arranging all the flowers, but with everything that had been happening the last few days
Kai’s POVI leaned in closer, watching as her breath hitched, her fingers curling into the sheets like she was bracing herself. Good. I wanted her to feel that anticipation, to sit in the moment and wonder what I would do next.Her wide eyes locked onto mine, her lips parting slightly, but she didn’t move. She just sat there, completely frozen, trapped between wanting to stop this and wanting to see where it would go."Maybe," I murmured, my voice teasing, daring her to deny it, "you don’t want me to."She sucked in a breath, but before she could respond, I closed the space between us and kissed her.The second my lips touched hers, something in me shifted.I had kissed plenty of girls before—fast, slow, passionate, lazy. I had done it all. But this? This was different.Because it was her.Lily gasped against my lips, the sound barely making it out before I stole it away. She stiffened, but she didn’t pull back.
“You’re such a whore,” my fiancé, Damian yelled, his face twisted with disgust and rage. The sharp edge of his words cut straight through me, leaving me breathless. I couldn’t even find the strength to respond. How could I? His accusation felt like a slap, even before his hand actually struck me.“I can’t believe you slept with someone else and got pregnant,” he added, his voice rising with each word.Pregnant? I couldn’t understand it. It didn’t make sense. I was saving myself for him, for our wedding night. I had never even been with anyone, let alone slept with them. I was a virgin. How could I be pregnant? There had to be a mistake. The positive pregnancy test lying on the floor from where he had thrown it had to be a mistake.“I didn’t sleep with anyone,” I finally stammered, my voice trembling. “I’m not pregnant.”My words barely escaped my lips before my stepmother’s sharp, icy tone cut me off.“You’re a cheap prostitute, just like your mother,” she spat, her eyes narrowing wi...
