CHAPTER 42: DANGER ZONE

last update Terakhir Diperbarui: 2025-04-21 16:02:04

When we arrived at my dad’s company, I was so tensed. I was scared of facing Uncle Phillip after all these years, but most of all, I was raged with anger.

He was involved in what happened to my family, but yet he lived a comfortable life while I suffered.

“Hey, are you okay?” I turned when I heard Eric's voice behind me.

“Yeah, I'm good. Are the reporters ready?”

“Yes, we just need to wait for Jess to give us an entirely permit."

“Okay, I can do this,” I said to myself as I kept taking a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves down.

“Hey, relax; you look so tensed.” Eric said, holding my hand in his. I looked up at him and found him staring at me with nothing but concern in his eyes.

“I just don't know how to face him. It has already been eleven years, but it still feels like it all happened yesterday.”

“I know it's difficult, but I want you to know that I will always be by your side.” He said, pressing a kiss on my cheeks. I smiled at him as I stepped into his arms, lovin' the warmth I

  • FATED TO BE WITH YOU    CHAPTER 43: HAPPY MOMENT

    "Congratulations, Lilly,” Jess said as she pulled me in for a hug.“Thank you so much, Jess. It wouldn't have been possible without you three. I bless the day Alex found me.” I said, hugging her back.“I made a fist,” she said and dragged me to the dining room while Eric followed.“I also helped,” Alex said, raising his hand like a child seeking permission to talk.“I know Alex, and I'm very grateful.” I said and hugged him. He hugged me back as he slightly patted my back.“You are welcome, Lilly, but I think it is time we pull away because someone's eyes are shooting daggers at me.” He said as we pulled away from our little hug. I found Eric glaring at Alex and couldn't help giggling.“Guys, let's eat; our food is getting cold.” Jess called after us as we all took our seats. Anna helped us in ditching out the food as we gisted and talked over our success.I have never been this happy in years. It almost felt like a dream. When we were through with dinner, Alex insisted the men do the

    She was wearing my oversized shirt, her hair dripping wet and tangled from the shower. The fabric clung to her curves, accentuating her feminine form. Her eyes sparkled as she gazed up at me, a hint of mischief dancing in their depths.She padded softly across the floor, her feet bare and her movements graceful, as if she were gliding towards me. I couldn't help but be drawn to her, my heart racing with anticipation. I set my laptop and glasses aside, watching her every moment.As she moved closer, I could see the faint outline of her legs beneath the shirt and the way the fabric hugged her hips. Her hair dripped water onto the floor, creating a tiny puddle that reflected the light. She didn't seem to notice, her eyes fixed on mine with a playful intensity.I felt my pulse quicken as she drew nearer, the air between us electric with tension. The shirt was unbuttoned just enough to reveal a hint of her chest, and I found myself wondering what lay beneath. She stopped in front of me as

    I sat on the bed with my legs hugging my chest. He was fine, and we were both perfectly fine until that side of him showed up.He is probably angry at me; I never should have pretended not to know what he was going through.I know he told me to stay away, but I don't think I can. I need to talk to him. It's been over twenty minutes since he went to the bathroom, and I just can't help being worried.I summoned my last courage and went in search of him. I stood at the bathroom door without knowing what to do. Should I knock or call out for him?With how quiet it's in there, he could hear me. Wait a minute, why is it so quiet in there? He usually has the shower on whenever he is going through this, or else he passes out. My eyes widened in shock as I started banging at the door after noticing it was locked from the inside.“Eric! Eric! Please open up.” Just like I thought, there was no response. I panicked and continued banging and pushing the door with all my strength.I don't know how,

    I woke to find myself in my room. I was confused and a little scared when I remembered what I saw in the bathroom. I panicked as I pushed myself up into a sitting position. My body ached all over.I was surprised to find Jess sleeping beside me. Thank goodness she was okay.“Jess,” I called out, shaking her awake slightly.“Lilly, you’re up,” she said. I could see how worried she was.“What happened?”“I found you and Eric passed out in the bathroom.”“Eric! What about Eric? Is he okay? Was he taken to the hospital?”“Hospital? What do you mean?” Jess asked, confused.“He was massively bleeding when I saw him passed out in the bathroom.”“What? He was bleeding, but his wound was just a cut. It wasn’t that much.” The expression on Jess's face was that of someone curious about something.I was surprised because I knew what I saw. Or was I hallucinating? No, this doesn’t make any sense. I know what I saw.“Lilly, are you sure you’re okay?” Jess asked.“Yeah, I'm fine. What time is it?”“

    When I entered the house, I found her asleep on the couch in the living room. A wave of guilt washed over me—she must have fallen asleep waiting for me.I sat beside her, watching her peaceful expression. My heart skipped a beat as I stared at her. She looked so beautiful. I reached out, brushing a few strands of hair from her face and tucking them behind her ear.I didn’t mean to wake her, but her eyes fluttered open, locking with mine. I jumped to my feet, taking a few steps back.For a brief moment, I had forgotten how dangerous I could be to her.“You’re back,” she whispered, sitting up and hugging her knees to her chest.“Yes, I just got in,” I answered, avoiding her gaze.“I waited for you. I even made dinner. Are you hungry?” Her voice was calm, almost emotionless. She didn’t sound angry, but I couldn’t read her either.She stood and began walking toward the kitchen. I reached out, grabbing her hand to stop her. She turned slowly, her eyes drifting from my hand to my face.“I t

    “Alex, where are you going?” My voice carried a sharp edge as I watched him, fully dressed and ready to leave, leaving me behind without a second thought.“To hook up with some girls,” he replied, a teasing smile tugging at his lips.I marched up to him, planting myself firmly in front of him, our faces mere inches apart. “You wish,” I said coolly, spinning around and heading back to the couch. I picked up my phone, pretending to be engrossed, even as irritation bubbled under my skin.“You don't believe me, do you?” he asked, amusement lacing his tone.“Nope, not one bit.” My gaze didn’t leave my phone.“Do you actually think I can’t get any girl I want straight into bed?” His voice grew more playful, daring me to rise to the bait.“Do you actually think any girl in her right mind would want anything to do with you?” I shot back, smirking as I caught the widening grin on his face.He approached me with deliberate steps, bending over until his hands rested on the couch on either side o

    I lay in bed with Lily nestled in my arms, her soft breath steady as she slept. A sense of peace washed over me since I had shared my past with her, but there was still a heaviness in my chest. I hadn’t told her everything. I wanted to, but something held me back. Maybe it was the sadness in my eyes that she had sensed, because she wouldn’t let me say another word.“You should tell me tomorrow,” she had whispered earlier, but I couldn’t wait. This secret had been eating at me for too long.“Why aren’t you sleeping?” Her small, hoarse voice broke through my thoughts, pulling me back to the moment. I stared at her, feeling her warmth against me, her body pressed into mine.“I just have a lot on my mind,” I replied softly, cupping her cheek and brushing my thumb over it. The simple touch felt like a lifeline, something to hold on to. “There’s something I need to tell you, Lily. If I don’t say it, I don’t think I’ll be able to sleep.”Our eyes locked, both filled with unspoken words. I co

    I sat across from Alex as Dr. David and Eric appeared to be in a deep conversation. Alex seemed lost in his own thoughts, his expression heavy with worry and exhaustion. He looked so disheveled, like he was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders. Unable to bear seeing him like that, I instinctively reached out, my fingers brushing through his unruly hair.“We’re going to wait by her bedside until she wakes up,” I said softly, my voice breaking the tense silence. “And if she sees you like this, it might cause her to pass out again.”His questioning eyes locked onto mine, silently asking for clarification. I offered a small, reassuring smile.“Why don’t you go up to the third floor and take a bath? Change out of these clothes. You can borrow some of Eric’s—it’ll help. If Jess wakes up and sees her own blood on you, she might really freak out.” My words were gentle, but I hoped they carried enough conviction to make him act.For a moment, he just stared at me, his face a mask

    “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

    I saw the shock on Jess’s face and felt a pang of guilt for putting her on edge. I just couldn't keep it to myself any longer. I wanted to tell Eric, but I couldn’t bear the thought of him spiraling back into his self-loathing.“What? If she didn’t kill Eric’s parents, then who did?” Jess asked, her voice trembling as she tried to recover from the shock etched on her face.“I don’t know, Jess. I didn’t want to believe her when she said it, but deep down, I felt she was telling the truth. She mentioned that exposing the dragon heart to the world had attracted other creatures, but I still don’t understand why Eric’s parents were caught up in all this. They didn’t have the dragon heart—my mom did. So why didn’t they come for my parents eighteen years ago, before my aunt showed up?” My voice cracked under the weight of my thoughts, every word exposing the turmoil in my heart.“This is going to shatter Eric if he finds out,” Jess said, her voice heavy with sorrow. “We can’t tell him, Lily.

    I stared down at our entwined hands resting against my waist as Eric’s steady breath fanned my neck. His body pressed close to mine, and for the first time in forever, everything felt… right. I wished, desperately, that the world could pause here, in this moment, so I could stay in his arms forever.Turning slowly, I shifted to face him, letting my gaze linger on his sleeping face. Peaceful, serene—it was such a stark contrast to the chaos we faced. I reached out hesitantly, my fingertips brushing against his cheek. My touch was light, almost reverent, as I leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to his cheek.“Why are you awake?” His deep, hoarse voice startled me, his eyes fluttering open to meet mine.“I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t dreaming,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper. “I’m trying so hard to stay in this moment with you, but… I can’t stop thinking about everything—the chaos, the danger.”Eric’s brows furrowed slightly as he pulled me closer, his arms wrapping prot

    Lily's POVHe dragged me to his room, shutting the door behind him with a decisive click as he locked it. Yet, I wasn’t scared. This wasn’t my first encounter with Eric’s dragon side, but the absence of his usual glowing eyes told me that Eric was more present this time—or at least a part of him was. I just couldn’t understand why his dragon side was fully using Eric’s body while keeping him locked away.Once the door was closed, it took him a moment to face me. When he finally did, his crystal-green eyes were back, their glowing light burning into mine.“What’s your deal? Were you pretending to be Eric? Jess and Alex don’t seem to know that something’s off about you.” His words dripped with amusement as he began closing the distance between us, a smirk playing on his lips. If he thought he could use that face to intimidate me, he was sorely mistaken.“You’re here, my mate,” he said, dragging the word ‘mate’ out deliberately, as though daring me to notice. His hand reached for my chee

    “What? Lily, are you insane? There’s no way I’m letting you leave!” Michael’s voice cracked with panic, his wide eyes brimming with disbelief. The mention of Terranovae sent a visible wave of unease through him, making me wonder if he recognized the name.“I’m sorry, Michael, but I’m going,” I said, my tone firm despite the trembling in my chest. “Nothing you say will make me change my mind. I can’t just sit here, waiting for her to end his life. I need to warn them about what’s coming.”Michael’s jaw tightened, and the lines of his face deepened with worry. “But why, Lily? Why would you even want to go there?” His voice softened, but I could still hear the tremor of fear beneath it.“Because she threatened me, Michael.” My voice broke slightly, but I pushed on. “She used Eric’s life to lure me in, and… she said Mom and Dad might still be alive.” My words hung heavy in the air, and I watched as Michael’s expression crumbled, shock and pain etching across his face.“What?” His voice wa

    I gasped, my eyes snapping open as shock coursed through me. My heart raced as I found myself back in Michael's house. The throbbing headache from the nightmare lingered, but I knew this was more than just a bad dream.It was a message.She had told me all those things for a reason—so I would go to Terranovae. But did Terranovae even exist? A world ruled by demons? What was I even saying? Could I be like them? If what that woman said was true, and Mum was a demon, then I might be one too.Panic clawed at my chest, my thoughts spiraling into chaos. Eric was in danger. Everything she said echoed in my mind, threatening to drown me. But it was her last words that haunted me the most.Could Mum and Dad truly be alive? Had they been held captive all these years?“Lily!”A gentle tap on my shoulder jolted me, and I turned sharply, my heart pounding, only to find Michael’s worried face staring back at me.“You scared me,” I muttered, my voice trembling as I struggled to steady my racing hear
