last update Last Updated: 2025-04-19 01:14:58

“Do not mess this up,” Alex said, and I glared at him.

“Don't you think you should be the one trying not to mess things up? We have successfully gathered enough information on how to set up a meeting with him, so don't mess it up.” I said and pointed my lips.

“Oh boy, I am so tasty.”

“Then find water and drink.”

“But I don't want to get off the car just in case he sees and recognises me.”

“We followed Mr. Philip up here to know what he was up to, but that doesn't mean we can't go ahead and pretend like we are two lovely couples in love who came to have fun at a club.”

Alex and I never planned on following Mr. Philip, but after wasting most of Alex’s time, he later decided to give him a listening ear. Just as we planned, we offered him an offer he couldn't resist.

Alex was able to schedule a meeting for me with Mr. Philip, but just as we were about to leave, that lady appeared. The way she commanded Mr. Philip has me curious about what their relationship could be.

    When Alex and I got back, we found the house empty. I was worried because it was already getting late, but there wasn't any sign of Eric or Lilly.“Are you sure you are not supposed to call Eric and know if everything is okay?”"Relax, Jess; they are both practically fine, so let's just eat and wait up for them. I am starving.” I shook my head at how hopeless Alex looked. He only said that so he could eat. I glared at him before I started setting the table.I kept looking at the door every second, waiting for the doorbell, and when it finally came, I quickly rushed to the door, ready to question Lilly.My words seized in my mouth as I saw how she looked. A frown was sitting on her face, and the way she walked past me showed that she was pissed about something.“Lilly, are you okay?” I called after her.“I'm fine; I'm just tired, so I will be going to sleep. See you in the morning.”“But what about dinner?” I asked, but she was already storming upstairs. What on earth happened? What go

    Lilly? What on earth is she doing here, and did she just pass out? Walking up to her, I reached out and brushed her hair away from her face. She really passed out.“Lilly, wake up.” I said, shaking her slightly. I really don't think she will be waking up sooner. I carried her and headed back to the house.When I walked in, I found Jess in the sitting room. She came rushing towards me immediately when she saw the passed-out Lilly in my arms.“Oh my God, what happened to her?”“I don't know; I think she followed me into the house.” I said, and Lilly's eyes widened in shock. I understand why she was surprised; she thought I might have attached her without knowing.“I didn't touch her, Jess, I promise, and besides, I think I'm beginning to be able to control myself lately.”“How?”“Can I at least take her to her room?” I didn't blame her for acting with suspicion. I nearly killed Jess the last time she walked in on me when I was in between my dragon form and my human form.Once I'm in tha

  • FATED TO BE WITH YOU    CHAPTER 33: OLD MEMORIES

    It took me a while to locate my old street, but when I did, I couldn't help feeling so happy. As much as my life has turned upside down here, I still have memories that are sweet enough to remember.When I located my house, I stood at the front gate as I remembered the happy family I used to have. My memories all came rushing back to me. It seems I threw them all away eleven years ago.“Miss, are you looking for someone?” I turned when I heard someone’s voice behind me. I was too distracted to notice her earlier. The woman standing in front of me should be in her late fifties or early sixties. She had a hat on with her glasses resting on top of her nose. Her brown eyes looked warm and shone with kindness. Why does she look so familiar?“Yes, I mean no; I was just passing by.”“If you are looking for the family that once lived here, then you are not going to find them. A tragedy befell them years ago. They were such lovely couples with their beautiful children. It's really sad that bad

    I have no idea how long I stood in front of the crime-fighting firm that used to belong to my dad. But now that monster has taken it all away. How much further is he going to break me up?First it was my parents, then Michael, and most of all, my life. The wonderful life I had going on for me was ruined by him.How much more is he planning on doing? I was angry, pissed, and furious, but I just couldn't get myself to walk in there. Approaching him is ruining every plan I have with Eric and the others.I stood there like it was the end of the world. The sound of my phone ringing snapped me out of the little wall I built while standing in front of Mr. Philip’s office like a lost puppy.I took out my phone, and it was Eric, so I picked it up.“Lilly, where are you? How come you are not home? Jess just told me that she couldn't find you at home.”“I went to see Mr. Philip.” I plainly replied.“What? Lilly, where are you now?” I heard the panic in his voice.“Standing in front of his office

    When we arrived at the party, the security guy stopped us to ask for an invitation, which Jess showed him, and he let us pass. We stepped into the big, beautiful mansion, and I gasped at the beauty of the house on the inside.Even though the outside was cool, the inside was way cooler. The lower floor of the house was packed with ladies; each had their own dress code. And their dresses were beautiful; maybe this was why Jess got me a dress, or else none of my dresses would have met their standards.This looks like a ladies party. I couldn't find a single man around here, except for the waiters.“I can see you like what you see,” Jess said, calling for my attention."Yes, this place is beautiful. What did you say the gathering was about again?” I asked her as I kept admiring the beauty of the environment.“Vivian is going to be modelling a particular dress this night for a brand, and the plan is to ruin the dress or perhaps let her ruin her dress.” My mouth went open as I stared at Jes

    She was way too quiet on our ride home. I know she was angry back then, but what she did was cool. I decided to let her cool off before giving her some credit for a job well done.Vivian is going to get a dose of her own medicine. Now she will understand how it feels.“Lilly, Lilly, we're home." But she didn't respond to my calls. I got off the driver's seat and went over to open her door for her. It was only then that I discovered that she had fallen asleep.So that's why she wasn't responding to me all this time. It seems the drink she took has taken over. How on earth am I supposed to get her inside?Maybe I should get Eric; I'm sure he wouldn't mind carrying her to her room.“Any problem?”“Oh my God, Eric, are you trying to scare the hell out of me?” How on earth did I not hear him approaching? I can't believe I have the power to hear sounds that are metres away from me, but I can never hear Eric approaching.“What happened to Lilly?”“She had a lot to drink, so can you help me t

    I literally turned my wardrobe upside down, looking for the perfect dress to wear. Thanks to Jess, who offered to help me arrange my room, which was now looking like a mess, while I took a cab to Eric’s office.When I arrived, it was almost noon. I went straight to his secretary to ask if he was around.“I'm sorry, ma'am, but Mr. Sarton clearly told me not to let anyone in. You will have to wait or come back later.”“Tell him it's me, Lilly; he would ask you to let me in.”“I can't; he instructed me not to call him for any reason until he says so. I know you want to meet him, but I can't go against his orders, or my work is at stake.”I sighed. I walked over to the waiting couch and sat down. I hope he was okay; the only reason he wouldn't want anyone in is if he is in pain like the last time.Maybe Alex can help; I'm sure he can enter Eric's office without permission. I decided to call Alex, but then remembered that he and Jess would be meeting with Mr. Philip today for the final con

    It was already getting late when I decided to see Peter off. He insisted on being the one to see me off, but I had to convince him to leave it for our next meeting.When we both passed my parents house, I felt her presence. She was in the house; that witch is in my house. I felt anger consume me. How dare she enter that house after destroying my life?“Lilly, are you okay? You seem too quiet; is there something on your mind?” Peter asked, and I quickly smiled, hiding my anger.“I'm fine, Peter; you worry too much.”“Do you want to come in and say hi to my mum? You can even sleepover; we have extra rooms for guests.”“I had love to, but not today. I promise I will come by another time.”“Come visit soon, okay, and stay safe.” He hugged me before saying goodbye. I turned and started walking down the street. Even though the street was lit up with street lights, I still felt like I was being watched.I hastened my footsteps, and so did she. She was hiding in the shadows, so I couldn't see

    “Lily, Lily, wake up!” A voice whispered in my ear. My eyes fluttered open, and I was met with nothing but darkness. A sharp pain throbbed at the back of my head.I couldn't understand what was happening or where I was. Looking around, I couldn't pick up a single sound or light. But the strange thing was—I was still floating. Then it hit me. I was still beneath the sea. Panic shot through me as I immediately swam up to the surface, but that only made my fear intensify.Nothing made sense. When I reached the surface, the moon that once shone brightly on the sea’s horizon was gone, leaving me and the vast body of water swallowed in total darkness.But the moon wasn’t the only thing missing—the storm had vanished too, leaving the sea eerily silent. A chilling stillness settled over me, and worst of all, I was completely lost, with no way of finding my way back to shore.I turned left, then right, but all I could see was endless water stretching around me. A shiver ran down my spine as pa

    “Lily, stop! Please!” Eric’s voice was desperate as another wave slammed into me, knocking me back for the tenth time. I was exhausted, but I didn’t care. That was until Eric stepped directly into my path, blocking me.“Move out of my way,” I said, my voice laced with warning.“No, this is insane!” he shot back, but his words only stoked the fire of my anger.“Why is it insane? Let me guess—you don’t think I can make it to Terranovae, do you?” I asked, staring him down. He avoided my gaze, and that hurt more than the waves ever could. He didn’t even have a shred of faith in me.“Lily, I’m just worried about you! I don’t know what that dragon told you, but the skills he taught you? They’re useless! He’s just setting you up to get yourself killed. Let’s go back to the shore. You’re soaked, you’re freezing—please!” He reached out to touch me, but I stepped back, anger flaring.I stared at him in disbelief. How could he say that to me? “I don’t need you to worry about me, Eric! Worry abou

    I walked into the sitting room and found Lily on the couch, her figure slouched as if the weight of the world rested on her shoulders. She seemed lost in thought, so much so that she didn’t notice me enter.It took a moment before she finally looked my way, and the exhaustion in her eyes hit me like a punch to the chest. Guilt twisted inside me, sharp and unrelenting, as I realized how much pain I might have caused her. I opened my mouth to apologize, to say something—anything—but the words refused to come out.“I see you’re ready. Let’s go. I’m sure Jess and Alex are already waiting for us,” she said, her tone flat, her eyes distant. She didn’t wait for a response as she walked past me and headed outside. All I could do was quietly follow her, the weight of her coldness pressing down on me.When we reached the car, I moved to open the front passenger door for her, hoping she’d sit beside me. But instead, she slipped into the backseat without hesitation, creating an invisible barrier

    I stared at him, utterly confused. What is he talking about?“How do you usually do that?” he asked, his eyes scanning me intently.“Do what?” I replied, unsure of what he meant.“How do you always walk in without me hearing you? You did it in the bathroom, and now again. I wouldn’t even have known you were standing behind me if it weren’t for your scent calling my attention to you.” His words made me frown as I instinctively sniffed the air and glanced toward the bathroom, trying to understand what he was referring to.“You smell so good, and I can’t help but admit that your scent was the first thing that kept me grounded—especially the night we met. You know, after witnessing the death of Eric’s parents, it awakened a fierce, protective side of me. A side that always wants to keep him safe. A side that wants to keep us safe.”His confession didn’t just leave me stunned—it set a whirlwind of thoughts racing through my mind.“What? Did you just say you witnessed what happened to Eric’

    I stood in front of the mirror, fidgeting with the hem of my swimsuit. It felt like it exposed far too much of my body, leaving me vulnerable and self-conscious. Maybe I should’ve ordered something more modest, but it was too late to change that now. With a deep sigh, I grabbed my bathrobe and headed to the pool, knowing Eric’s dragon side was already waiting for me.A part of me wished Eric, the calm and composed version of him, was in control. But deep down, I knew this was my chance to connect with his dragon side, no matter how intimidating he could be.When I reached the pool, he was already in the water, sitting casually with his back to me. The tattoo on his back drew my attention immediately, as it always did, its intricate details glimmering in the dim light. He must have sensed my presence because he turned to face me, his glowing green eyes locking onto mine. A smirk curved his lips, an expression so different from Eric’s usual demeanor that it made my heart skip a beat.Hi

    “Lily, is not going to be easy,” Jess said, but that was not what I wanted to hear.“It has never been easy, Jess, and I’m done waiting around for some miracle when we can end this. What I need right now is everyone’s support. With you, Alex, and Eric, I believe I can do it,” I said, taking her hands in mine. I needed her to see how much I wanted to get this done.“Lily, I believe you can do this, but we don’t have much time. We need to make it back to Terranovae before Eric’s second transformation. I spoke to Eric’s dragon side, and it wants us to find the heart before the second transformation, or both the dragon and Eric will be lost. If that happens, a beast shall be born. It doesn’t matter if Eric or the dragon is in control—they will both go wild because they’ve been together since birth,” Alex said, leaving Jess and me staring at him.“Okay, I’ll help you, but first, I need to heal myself. I can’t help you if I’m this weak,” Jess said, and in that moment, all I wanted was to hu

    Just as I suspected, Lily was still sitting in the exact spot she had been when I left earlier. But now, she looked far worse—her face blotchy and swollen, as though she'd been crying the entire time.Eric stood silently at the doorway, his eyes fixed on her. He looked utterly heartbroken, his pain written plainly across his face as he watched Lily in her despair. She hadn’t noticed our presence yet, lost in the dark cloud of her thoughts.And then, her head lifted, her glassy eyes locking with mine for a brief moment before shifting to Eric. Recognition flared in her gaze, and in the next heartbeat, she flew into his arms.Understanding they needed this moment, I stepped out of the room, giving them the space they so desperately needed. I headed toward the sitting room in search of Jess.When I walked in, I found her curled up on the couch, her legs hugged tightly to her chest. Even in sleep, exhaustion clung to her like a heavy weight, her face taut with tension. The sight of her vu

  • FATED TO BE WITH YOU    CHAPTER 63: BENEATH THE SEA 2

    I watched as an enraged roar tore from the dragon’s mouth, reverberating through the water like a violent storm. His massive body shifted with a rippling motion, scales shimmering ominously from his head down to his long, spiked tail. In one swift movement, he swung the deadly appendage toward me.The sharp, menacing spikes aimed my way forced me to dart aside, narrowly avoiding his weapon. He charged at me with terrifying speed as I swam deeper into the sea, frantically searching for a place to hide. My gaze landed on a large rock near the ocean floor, and I surged toward it. But before I could reach it, the dragon beat me there, cutting off my escape.His wings unfurled, creating a shadow that enveloped me, while his spiked tail lashed menacingly through the water. Those piercing green crystal eyes locked onto mine, burning with fury. The intensity of his glare was suffocating, a silent declaration of his rage. He didn’t just see me as prey—he saw me as an enemy.I had nowhere to ru

    “No, no, no, we need to find him! Alex, do something!” Lily's frantic cries filled the room. Her face was a portrait of horror, her pale skin only adding to the starkness of the moment. Tears streamed down her face, and her breath came in sharp gasps, the kind that made my chest tighten with worry. I feared she might pass out if she didn't calm down.“Lily, please, look at me. I need you to calm down!” I pleaded, my voice trembling with urgency as I reached for her. But she recoiled, her body trembling violently, only intensifying my concern. I turned toward Jess, who had been standing behind me, silent and distant. The look on her face told me she was too devastated to help.Why is Eric doing this to me? Everything is spiraling, and I'm losing control. How am I supposed to handle Jess, let alone Lily?Before I could even try to speak, Jess moved toward Lily, gently approaching her before pulling her into a tight hug.“It’s okay, we’ll find him. But I need you to calm down,” Jess said
