*Lily*After meeting guests and selling some of my paintings, I invited William to my apartment. I wanted us to talk without distraction and share more of my feelings with him, and we needed to rekindle the flames within our relationship. He tried to plan a romantic evening for us, but I didn’t care where we were. I just wanted to be with him. "Please excuse the mess. I haven't had a chance to redecorate yet." I had tubes of paint, canvas, and paintbrushes everywhere. "Wow! You have been busy." Willam looked around the room, taking in all the half-painted canvases. "I started a few more projects but wanted to complete the ones I had worked on in my last collection." I stood behind him as he stared at an uncompleted painting of the Eiffel Tower. "William, the care you show for me is beyond what I could have ever fathomed. I don't know what I would do without you…what I'm trying to say is that I'm sorry for breaking up with you and want nothing more than to be in your life. I ca
*Lily*God, what a night. My mind was still in disbelief from the ruined painting selling for one million dollars. It's funny how the things some deem unworthy can be considered worthy by others; truly, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I couldn't believe it. My, how the tables have turned. I didn't have a place to stay last week and was living with friends. Now, I was dating a billionaire with one million dollars in my bank account; it was like a dream come true. I stood in the shower watching the red paint stream down my body from last night's hot and steamy sexual encounter with William. He had taken a shower last night after I had fallen asleep.I was so overcome with excitement between rekindling the flames with him and my artwork selling that I stayed up half the night and crashed a few hours ago.I finished blow-drying my hair, grabbed my towel hanging from the rack, and dried my body. I had yet to unpack all my belongings but managed to find a pair of red leggin
*William*I arrived at my office prepared for the emergency meeting with our stakeholders. Grace provided me with the company's reports for the last quarter, and the numbers were not good. As I entered the meeting room, John wasted no time. "William, what the hell is going on? The stock has fallen by twenty percent." He flung his report across the desk in anger. John had invested the most money out of all the stakeholders. He is a few years older than me, and his tall stature often intimidated the rest of the group, but I was determined to stand firm by my decisions. "Please calm down, John. We are going through a growth period, and I assure you this is normal," I replied, hoping to ease his anxiety. The only thing he cared about was money. "Normal. I've lost fifty thousand dollars," Bob angrily leaned forward. He was one of the first people to invest in LIVO Technologies, and I was shocked to see him so upset. This wasn't our first rodeo of experiencing some financial lo
*Lily*‘Hey beautiful, you up for a date tonight?’ William texted. ‘Yes, I would love to! I was working on a few new art pieces, but I'll shower and be ready in thirty minutes.’‘Great. I'll see you soon.’I rinsed my paintbrush and placed the paint back in my art supplies storage bag before walking to my closet and skimming through different outfits. 'Hmm, I wonder what William has in store for us tonight. Should I go with something sexy, classy, or elegant?' I grabbed my sleeveless tie-back halter mini dress. I opened my jewelry box and searched for the perfect accessories. After shuffling through multiple pairs of earrings, I decided to choose my pink pearls with the matching pink bracelet. I laid my outfit and accessories on the bed and rushed to the bathroom. I didn't want to keep William waiting, as he was always punctual. So, I turned on the shower and let the hot water flow over my body. Tonight would be the first night William and I would be together without
*Lily*I invited William back to my apartment. After our night on the town and dancing underneath the stars, I wanted to top the night off with a special sexual ritual. I grabbed my keys and proceeded to unlock the door when William slid his hands underneath my dress. "I can't wait to be inside you; feel your warmth," he pressed his body against mine, and I could already feel his erection. "Trust me, my love. You’ve got no idea what I have in store for you tonight." William bit his bottom lip as he let out a laugh. I grabbed his hand, led him to my art studio, and lit a few candles placed on the window sill.William had already started unbuttoning his shirt when I stopped him. "NO! I want you to follow my lead tonight. Let me undress you." I slowly approached him, slid my fingers underneath his shirt, and clawed his chest. He bit his bottom lip as he let out a loud hissing sound. "Tonight, I want us to explore each other. Slowly," I gazed into his eyes, ripped his
*Lily*I woke up this morning thinking about how excited I was for this new chapter. It hadn't come without its challenges, but I was proud to say that I had also experienced significant growth. I was constantly finding inspiration for my paintings in various settings, and it's incredible to see how far I've come. As a girl from Minnesota, it may have seemed unlikely that I would thrive in New York and pursue my dream of making it as a painter. However, despite the doubts of others–including my parents, who thought I couldn't make a living painting and urged me to focus on getting a "real" job–I was happy to see them slowly but surely coming around to my way of thinking.At times, I find myself struggling with feelings of fear and uncertainty. I often question whether the current state of my life was too good to be true and whether I was truly deserving of the many blessings and benefits that come with it. It can be a difficult and unsettling feeling, but I try to remind myself
*William*Today had been a hectic day at work. Everyone dreams of being a billionaire and living the lavish lifestyle that comes with it. But few are willing to take on the challenges that come with it. Meanwhile, my stakeholders are trying to scheme against me, bills must be paid, and I must remain mindful of securing my wealth for future generations.My phone began buzzing, interrupting my mindless chatter, and to my surprise, it was Eva calling me. Given her behavior at my meeting, I contemplated whether I should answer her call. It was embarrassing, and now I'm sure my stakeholders are thinking I can't control my daughter. Despite my reservations, I was curious to know what she wanted and picked up the phone. "Hey, Daddy. How's it going? "Umm, it's going well. Why are you calling Eva? I'm not reinstating your allowance." "I'm not calling you for money, Dad. I wanted to talk and wondered if you'd meet me at Dave's Cafe, our old brunch spot."I hesitated, skepti
*Lily*I have been completely absorbed in my art studio within the past few days, devoting myself to my latest collection titled "Divine Energy." The recent circumstances of my experiences have instilled in me an unwavering sense of determination, which I have channeled into my artistry. The result is a series of bold and dynamic pieces, exuding a raw power that I am sure will resonate with anyone who views them. I feel this collection truly represents my artistic vision, and I am excited to share it with the world.As I delved deeper into my artistic process, I was completely consumed by the inspiration flowing through me. Even though I received messages from Rachel, Patrick, and Adam, I made the conscious decision not to respond to any of them at the moment, as I didn't want to disrupt my focus. The only person I briefly conversed with was William, and I must say, I truly appreciated his understanding and respect for knowing I needed to complete my new projects.I was feeling i
