FATED TO BE WITH YOU CHAPTER 52: A MEETING WITH MICHAEL 3
I sat at the table reserved for Mr. Sarton and me, my gaze fixed on my wristwatch. I had arrived ten minutes early, hoping to gather my thoughts before he arrived. Now, with only two minutes left until six, I felt an uneasy restlessness creep in.The restaurant was eerily empty, devoid of the usual bustle. It was only when the waiter flipped the "Open" sign to "Closed Temporarily" that I realized the entire place had been booked. Rumors about Mr. Sarton's preference for privacy were evidently true.I took a slow sip of my drink, my eyes returning to my wristwatch. The hands aligned perfectly—6:00 p.m. sharp. Yet, there was no sign of him. I thought he was a man who valued punctuality. Just as doubt began to fester, the bell above the door chimed, signaling someone’s entrance. My eyes darted to the door, and there he was—Mr. Sarton.He stood tall, exuding the composed demeanor I had seen countless times in his photographs online. But something was different—he was wearing sunglasses. O

The setting sun cast its warm glow through the open window, the horizon in shades of gold and crimson. I let out a weary sigh, my gaze lingering on Alex as he focused on driving. Though he kept his eyes on the road, I could tell he was deep in thought, burdened by something he wasn’t ready to share.“Alex,” I called, breaking the silence.He glanced my way briefly before returning his attention to the road. “Yes, Lily?”“There’s something you’re not telling me, isn’t there?” My voice was calm, though my heart felt anything but.“Something like what?” he replied, his tone too casual, an obvious attempt to deflect.“Never mind.” I shook my head, frustration simmering beneath the surface. “I’ve just been feeling off all day—like everything’s spiraling out of control. First, I find out Eric was with Vivian while I was waiting for him alone, and then this woman, who’s supposedly my aunt and responsible for my parents’ deaths, injures Jess. All because of this stupid necklace around my neck

I was furious. How could he do that to Lily? I knew he was supposed to tell her the truth, but why did he lie to hurt her? Why did he say such hurtful things to her?I angrily marched towards his room to confront him after I watched Lily’s brother literally drag a weak and messed-up Lily out. On getting to Eric’s door, I could hear his groans. Knocking on the door, he didn't seem to be responding, so I tried opening the door and realized it was locked.I didn’t hesitate, kicking the door open as I was met with Eric, his back turned to me as he stood close to the window.“Why on earth would you say that to her? You obviously care about her, but you said all those hurtful things to her. Answer me right now, Eric!” I demanded, feeling my own anger boiling.And then he turned to face me, his crystal green eyes giving off a light as they met mine. “What on earth are you talking about?” he asked, his voice deep, cold, with a mixture of something unfamiliar.“Eric? Are you okay?” I asked whe

I cried until there were no tears left for me to cry. I was drained, both physically and emotionally. I couldn't feel anything—it was as if my heart had stopped beating. Finally, I pushed myself off the bed and let my wandering eyes take in the room I was in. I was too stunned by everything to realize when we arrived at Michael's house. All I knew was that I shut the door, wanting to be left alone.How long would all this continue? My parents were killed because of that stupid key. I lost Michael and endured the most painful years of my life with my stepmother and her children—all because of that same key.Just when I thought I could finally breathe, when I thought I had found people who cared about me, it turned out they were using me all along.I pushed myself to my feet and headed straight for the door. I needed some air, and staying here wasn’t helping. Without thinking much about it, I stepped out and took in the unfamiliarity of the house I was in.“Don’t you think you should ch

Michael's POVHer words cut deep as my grip around her tightened. She loves him. My little Lily… she fell in love. The thought left a bitter taste in my mouth. As I held her, I felt her body grow heavy against me.“Lily. Lily, wake up.” My voice trembled, but there was no response. Panic surged through me as I gently tried to push her up, but her knees buckled, and she nearly collapsed. I caught her just in time, pulling her close to stop her from falling.I couldn’t believe it—she had passed out. My hand instinctively pressed against her forehead, and the heat radiating from her skin confirmed it. She was burning up.Without wasting another second, I carried her back to her room. My heart raced as I tried to bring her fever down, but my mind kept replaying the sorrow etched on her face. It was a new kind of pain—one I couldn’t shake, no matter how hard I tried.“I’m sorry, Michael,” Jenny’s voice broke the tense silence. She had been quiet for a while, but now her words felt like dag

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

“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

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

“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
FATED TO BE WITH YOU CHAPTER 69: TRAPPED IN THE WAVES
“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
FATED TO BE WITH YOU CHAPTER 68: JEALOUSY; FURY 2
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
FATED TO BE WITH YOU CHAPTER 64: FIGHT WITH THE WAVES
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
