Lillian's POV

It felt like torture waiting for Amari's operation to end.

I felt like I was standing on the cliff...I felt like I was on the verge of death.

It felt like an eternity.

I stared at the operating room intently waiting for someone to come out and tell me that the operation was successful and my daughter survived.

I want to hug Amari tightly.

I want to shower her with kisses.

I want to see my daughter.

"She'll be okay," Marcus voiced out.

I turned my head on him and I can't help but treat him coldly.

I know it was an accident but I am blaming him. I needed to direct my anger on someone because if not I would lose my sanity.

"She better be Marcus because if something happens to Amari I won't forgive you until I die,"

He fell silent.

He tried to reach my hand and hold it but I brushed off his hold.

"I shouldn't have agreed to this setup," I said. I fought his gaze. "It's hard forcing ourselves into your world Marcus,"

He shook his head and tried to hold my hand again but I did

    Lillian's POVI got lost in his eyes again but I won't let myself be drawn to the burning fire of my desire."Stop Marcus," I firmly uttered looking at him blankly.He fell silent. He stared at my face and while looking at him I could tell that he was in pain."Why is it so easy for you to push me away?" he painfully asked.I am in pain too every time I push you away.God knows how much I want to be with you again but we can no longer force it.You already have your own life.You already have Alice and you are having a child with her."This isn't right Marcus. You already have Alice and you are having a child with her, why can't you just fix your relationship with her?" I saw how his jaw clenched."Stop being an asshole and man up." When I could no longer take the tension that surrounded us I walked away.I stepped out of the hospital to get some fresh air.I saw a wooden bench so I decided to sit there.I needed some time to think.I let the cold wind embrace me. I just sat there s

    Marcus's POVIt was empty.The moment I stepped inside the room where Amari was admitted.All I saw was the used hospital dress and her messy bed.I just got back from work.We were fine when I left.Where did they go?I can feel my knees shaking as I walk towards the bed that Amari used.I started throwing the blanket on the floor and almost flipped the bed looking for my daughter.Filled with rage I threw the pillow on the floor and sat on the bed as I grabbed my hair tightly out of frustration."Fuck!" I shouted."Where is my daughter Lillian?" I asked even though no one would answer me.I roamed my eyes around trying to find some clue on where they might have gone but I stopped when a small note caught my attention.It was Lillian's handwriting.'We can no longer force ourselves into your world Marcus. Just live a happy life with Alice and your child. I'm sorry,'I tightly held the paper until it crumbled."You can't get away from me Lillian. I won't stop until I find you and I wi

    Marcus's POVPain.Rage.Betrayal.That's what I felt as I held the note that Lillian left.She deprived me of my right again to be a father to Amari.I already lost five years and I haven't made up for those years that I missed but she is hiding Amari again.Hoping that they hadn't gotten far I stepped out of the room and started searching for every corner of the hospital.I decided to go to the security room to ask for CCTV footage but they didn't allow me to review it."I'll fucking pay just let me in!" I insisted but three guards held me to stop me from stepping inside the room."I'm sorry Sir but we are following protocols and we can't let anyone have access to the CCTV footage unless the higher-ups give you permission,"They won't let me in no matter how hard I try.Having no choice I decided to leave the hospital and drive towards their old apartment.It took me a few minutes to reach it and when I arrived it was all empty.Their things are gone and it looks completely abandon

Familiar scent. Familiar face.I long for him and I know Amari too but staying with him made everything chaotic.Staying with him means ruining the life he is building with Alice."Our family own a small house here, you can stay there as long as you want. You can treat it as your home,"Lucas said while he was busy putting all our things inside his car.Once done he faced me and flashed a warm smile."You will like it here. It's peaceful staying in here. I usually go here whenever I am looking for inspiration to paint. Almost all of my pieces are created here," he said then he took Amari from my arm.Amari fell asleep from hours of travelling.I watched Lucas as

If it turns out good then Mommy might consider selling it," I said as I focused all my attention on mixing the colour.I used to paint as a hobby but Lucas encouraged me to sell it so I tried and it turned out good.I have been displaying my artwork in exhibits but under an anonymous name since I am still afraid that people will judge me instead of appreciating the piece that I made.I want

    Lillian's POV"Are you okay?" Lucas's voice pulled me out of my thoughts.I looked at him and smiled to assure him that I was okay when in fact the thought that Marcus would be my client bothers me.I already called Angel telling her that I had changed my mind and I'll decline the offer but she told me that Marcus insisted since his wife loves my artwork.So they are already married.I haven't heard any news about their wedding well how would I when after leaving I completely cut off my connection with him?I sometimes get tempted to check how he is doing but I stopped myself for peace of mind.I am glad they decided to get married, at least our leaving made them happy."You haven't touched your food," Lucas uttered worry evident in his tone as he looked at me intently.I let out a deep breath to calm myself. "Marcus is gonna be my client," I confessed.It took him a while to process it but after a while, he nodded his head as if my words finally sank in."You accepted his offer?" I

I want to see his face."Lifetime imprisonment," The judge's verdict echoed in the whole room.Instead of creating a scene and defending himself, Dad nodded his head and then shifted his gaze to me.When our eyes met he smiled and a tear fell from his eyes."I'm sorry Lillian," he muttered. "I love you," he added before the guards took him away.I wanted to run after him and hug him but I remained sitting on the bench and watched my father being taken.I didn't notice a tear that fell from my eyes.

    Lillian's POVMy memories are still blurry but one thing remains clear.My feelings for him.I know that I love him. My heart feels happy whenever I am with him.I can't remember some memories I have with him but that won't stop me from marrying this man.When the door of the art gallery opened I felt my heart beating loudly against my chest.My hands went cold so I held the bouquet tightly trying to find some strength and ease the nervousness that I was feeling.I roamed my eyes around.I saw art hanging on the wall and everything looked familiar to me but I can't tell when I exactly saw it or what particular memory it holds.As I took a step forward all eyes were on me. People who are close to us are watching my step closely and it made me even more nervous so I fixated my gaze on him...to the man who can calm my storm.He smiled at me but he wiped something on the corner of his eyes as if he was crying.Seeing him cry made the corner of my eyes water as well but I suppressed it so

A kind of smile that reaches her eyes indicating that she is truly happy."Thank you for not giving up," she uttered.My hand reached for her face and gently caressed her cheeks.I still can't believe it.It feels like a dream seeing her stand in front of me looking at me with her eyes filled with love and happiness."Thank you for coming back," I whispered as my hands gently caressed her cheeks.She leaned her face on my palm and closed her eyes as she found comfort in the warmth of my hand.She looks peaceful to watch.I alway

    Lillian's POVI saw happiness glistening in his eyes as he looked at me.He looked happy when I told him about the glimpse of memory that I had but I wasn't sure if it was mine or if my mind was playing tricks on me.I was confused if I was Lillian or if I was just forcing myself to believe that I was Lillian just to fill the memories that I had lost.Up until now I still can't remember anything and it frustrates me.I am slowly doubting my parents wondering if they are telling the truth or making me believe in lies.But why would they do that? Why would they lie to me?Why am I doubting them just because of this man in front of me whom I barely knew?His happiness was replaced by confusion when I fell silent.He was about to hold my hand but I hid it behind me afraid that if he touched me I might feel something again.Pain crossed his eyes when I refused to be touched by him."What's wrong?" he asked pain filling his voice.I shook my head and avoided his gaze. I focused my eyes in f

    Marcus's POVI finished my work early so I headed home.I searched the house to look for the kids until I heard giggles coming from the garden.I followed the laughter and there I saw Amari sitting on a small chair while painting a flower on the canvas while Augustus was on his stroller playing with his toy.My gaze then shifted to Isabelle.She's smiling while putting some colours on the canvas.She's painting the same sunset that she ruined.Her every stroke reminds me of Lillian.I was taken back to that moment when I watched Lillian draw the sunset.The way she put colour on the canvas is the same way Lillian coloured the sky.I watched her every moment intently and as I watched how she mixed different colors I felt my heart ache.She's Lillian.I am sure she's Lillian but why is she lying to us?Why is she hiding in the name of Isabelle?Does she forget about us?Or maybe I am just being drowned in longing once again making myself believe that Lillian is still alive?Maybe I am j

    Isabelle's POVMy heart started to race.When I stepped inside the cab I held my chest tightly and let out heavy breaths, panting as if I came from a long run.After giving my address to the driver I leaned my head against the window and focused my attention outside.Why am I acting this way?Why did my heart race when he kissed me?"Maam we are already here,"I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard the driver speak.I immediately handed my fare and stepped out of the cab.I stared at the house standing in front of me.It was a white house just enough for a small family.I grew up here they said but this place doesn't feel familiar.I can't remember any memories I have in this house. Even fragments.It's been a year since the accident happened but I still can't remember anything.They are telling me stories but it doesn't ring a bell. I can't find it inside me, the memories they telling.I let out a deep breath and walked towards our house.The moment I stepped inside I heard my

    Marcus's POVI can't look away.I am having a hard time processing everything.She looks exactly like Lillian.Her hair is a bit different since it was cut short but her other features resemble Lillian.The only difference is that she looks at us differently.She looks confused as if she's looking at a stranger."Your name is Isabelle?" I asked still having a hard time accepting that she's not Lillian.She slowly nods her head. "Yes Sir," she politely responded.I saw her gaze shifted to Amari. Her gaze lingered before she looked at me again."My Mom left for a while to process some documents for my father's operation so she told me to look after your son for a while. I am sorry she's in a hurry so she failed to inform you,"She talks so gently.Her voice sounds exactly like Lillian and while I listened to her I felt pain surge in my system.She reminds me of Lillian and it hurts."I'm sorry if we scared you. You look exactly like my late wife so we thought you were her,"I swallowed

    Marcus's POVIt's been a year since she left but I am still mourning. Everything still feels empty and I have no idea if I will ever recover.If Amari isn't here I bet I already killed myself. She's the only reason why I chose to survive each day.She needs a father so I have to be strong and act like I am still okay even though my insides are shattered into pieces."Daddy, where's my uniform?" I heard her shouting from her room.I immediately wiped my hands and hurriedly ran towards my daughter.Upon opening her room I saw her searching her cabinet."It's here. I ironed it earlier," I said as I got the uniform hanging on her cabinet."Once you're done here head to the kitchen and eat your breakfast okay?" She smiled at me and nodded her head.I stared at her face for quite some time before I smiled back.I always do that whenever I miss Lillian. I always stare at our daughter's face because I can see a glimpse of her in Amari.Whenever I look at Amari it feels like she's still here.

    Marcus's POV"Daddy,"It was that soft call that made me lift my head.When I saw my daughter standing in front of me with tears streaming down her face I felt my chest tightened.I can see Lillian in Amari. She looks like her and that made everything feel heavy.I tried to act strong in front of her but when her small arms pulled me into a tight hug the tears that I had been suppressing fell non-stop.I cried on my daughter's shoulder, releasing all the pain and heaviness inside me.I thought after crying the pain and heaviness inside my chest would vanish or somehow lessen but nothing happened.My tears already dried out but the pain didn't subside. It still feels too much.When Amari broke off the hug she cupped my face and smiled at me."Let's go home, Daddy. Let's wait for me Mommy in our house. Let's wait for her in our home,"I bit my lower lip when tears were about to fall once again.I stared at my daughter's face and I can't help but blame myself for what happened.If I just

I need to finish the artwork because he already paid for it. I can feel that Alice doesn't want my presence but she has no choice.When I arrived at the house it was awfully quiet so I started searching for them.I put my things first in the living room before I started roaming around.After a while I heard voices coming from the room upstairs so I traced it.I didn't want to eavesdrop but curiosity filled me especially when I heard my daughter's name.I recognized their voices. It was Alice and Matthew's voices."Why can't we just tell them the truth? Just come with me, Alice. Why do you have to go crazy over Marcus when he is treating you this way?" I hear desperat
