I need y'all's support. So please show me some love 🥺✨❤️🌈
"Lily?" Alex stared at her with an expression fixed on his face that almost made her melt.She couldn't help but wonder if Alex, who was standing a few feet away, had heard everything she said to Maya.His expression shifted to a mix of concern and uncertainty, as if he wasn’t sure if she’d even want him there.“Alex…” She said again as she rose to her feet, suddenly feeling awkward, as if she wasn’t quite sure what to do with her hands. “What are you doing here?”“I came looking for you,” he said, stepping closer. His gaze was steady, searching her face for any sign of how she felt. “I thought maybe we could talk?”Lily’s heart stuttered. She opened her mouth to speak, but the words wouldn’t come out. Behind her, she felt Maya’s gentle touch on her shoulder. “I’ll catch you later, okay?” Maya whispered with a smile. She gave Lily’s hand a light squeeze before she slipped away, leaving Lily and Alex alone under the soft shadows of the trees.For a moment, neither of them spoke, the s
Lily paced in the quiet corner near the steps, her heart racing in her chest. Her mind was filled with fear and worry, replaying the image of Lexa’s smug face after she’d caught her and Alex kissing. She turned, seeing Alex standing nearby, watching her with confusion and concern.“Lily, what’s wrong?” Alex asked, stepping closer. His tone was gentle, but she could hear the underlying confusion. “Why are you so worried about Lexa? It’s just a picture.”Lily bit her lip, trying to calm herself, but she couldn’t shake the fear gnawing at her. She looked down, unable to meet his eyes. “Alex… you don’t understand. Lexa’s not just going to let this go. She’ll… she’ll tell everyone. She’ll tell Liam and Lucas.” The thought of it alone made her stomach churn.He tilted his head, still looking puzzled. “So? I don’t see why that’s such a big deal. We’re friends, aren’t we? And besides…” He reached for her hand, his fingers brushing hers softly. “I’m not ashamed of what happened between us.
The hallway was filled with laughter and whispers, each comment feeling like a bite against Lily’s skin. Every student seemed to have their phone out, the picture of her and Alex kissing splashed across countless screens. Each glance stung, each mocking grin made her fists tighten. Lily’s heart pounded, torn between the shame bubbling inside her and the anger burning at Lexa.She looked sideways at Maya, who offered a supportive smile. “Hey, just breathe. You don’t have to do this.”“I do.” Lily’s voice was barely a whisper, but it was thick with determination. “She can’t get away with this.”Maya hesitated, glancing over her shoulder as if hoping Lexa would simply vanish from their lives. “Okay, but… don’t let her get to you, alright? That’s exactly what she wants.”Lily nodded, but her focus remained locked on the lockers ahead, where Lexa stood with Lucas and Liam. She could see Lexa’s smug smile from here, as if she’d been waiting for Lily’s reaction, savoring every ounce of
Lily went after Alex and when she stopped him, the pain in his face was unmistakable.His gaze burned into Lily, a mixture of disbelief and heartbreak fixed onto his face. His shoulders slumped as he looked at her as though struggling to piece everything together.“So, it's really true?”Lily took a shaky breath, forcing herself to meet his gaze. “Yes, Alex. It’s true.”Alex stepped back, running a hand through his hair, clearly struggling to hold himself together.“Why didn’t you tell me?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. “Why did you hide something this… this huge?”“I didn’t want you to treat me differently,” she said, the desperation creeping into her voice. “Alex, I didn’t want you to see me as some title or duty. I wanted you to see me… just as me.”He shook his head, his face twisted with a mixture of anger and disbelief. “And you thought lying to me was the way to do that?”“It wasn’t lying,” she protested, but her voice sounded weak, even to herself. “I just… I d
The final bell rang, and the echo filled the hallways. While other students rushed out, eager to escape the day’s drama, Lily stayed behind, feeling a weight settle over her. She leaned against her locker, her mind racing with thoughts of everything that had unfolded."What if the twins’ father has seen the photo?"The thought hit her with an intensity that made her throat tighten. She knew enough about him to realize he would be furious, perhaps even see her actions as a betrayal of her responsibilities as Luna. And while Lily wasn’t someone who easily gave in to fear, the idea of facing him filled her with dread. The mansion was the last place she wanted to go right now.She sighed, a hit of regret twisting in her chest. But beneath the anxiety was something more—something that hurt just as much, if not more. It was the memory of Alex’s face, his eyes filled with betrayal, and how he had walked away from her, his trust shattered. She couldn’t bear leaving things like this with
Lily stood and watched Alex walk away with intense pain, her hand on her chest as she considered what to do. She felt like if she allowed him to leave, he wouldn't come back to her and just that thought was enough to make her throat go dry.The silence was overwhelming, broken only by the faint sounds of the night outside Alex’s mansion. She hadn’t intended to end up here, but she couldn’t bring herself to face what awaited her at home. Just thinking about it made her stomach twist with anxiety.The weight of everything—the picture, her broken friendship with Alex, and the looming threat of the twins’ father—pressed down on her, suffocating her. Her mind kept returning to Alex as he kept on walking away. He was angry, hurt, and she didn’t know how to fix it. How could she make him understand that her secret had been about survival, about not letting anyone in for fear they’d eventually turn on her?She couldn't just stand there and let him leave without trying her very best to mak
Lily followed the maid down a series of grand hallways, each one more elegant than the last. The soft lighting cast a warm glow on the walls, adorned with artwork and tapestries that gave the mansion a timeless feel. It felt surreal to be here, in Alex’s house, seeking refuge, but there was an undeniable comfort to it as well.She felt a huge feeling of excitement that he even offered for her to stay in his place and she was loving every moment of it.She knew that if Lucas and Liam discovered that she had decided to stay the night in Alex's house, especially after their kiss earlier today, they would totally freak out and call her a slut.But she didn't care. She was focused on enjoying the moment of being in Alex's house as his guest and that was all that mattered to her.“This is your room, miss,” the maid said, smiling warmly as she opened the door to a beautifully decorated bedroom. The room was a bit larger than her entire room back home, with a four-poster bed dressed in lux
As Lily and Alex’s kiss grew deeper, she felt herself melting into him, her heart pounding as their connection blossomed in ways she hadn’t experienced before. She’d kissed people before, but this was different—this was raw, real, and overwhelming. She could feel her heart beating faster just by being this close to him and tasting the sweet warmth that his mouth gave to her.She couldn't stop herself for even a moment to breathe because all she wanted was his.His touch ignited her skin, sparking a fire that had been smoldering between them for too long.Alex pulled back just slightly, his eyes searching hers with a mixture of awe and surprise. “Lily,” he breathed, voice low, almost reverent. “What are we doing?”Lily looked at him with confusion fixed in her face. She scanned his eyes to know what he was really feeling and all she could see was love."What do you mean? I don't understand what you're trying to say" Lily said, her fear being obvious on her face.She didn't want him t
Lily's heart froze when she heard Lucas’s unmistakable voice echoing from downstairs. It felt like her world had gone upsidedown just by his presence and she was terrified of what it would mean now that he has found out where she is.She hadn’t expected him to track her down here, especially not to Alex’s mansion. It should have been hard for him to even come to the conclusion that she would be here. It goes to show that he didn't trust her.The fact that he was here in Alex's mansion means that he has already gone to Maya's house and questioned her.She immediately checked her phone and saw that she has been sent numerous text messages from Maya asking her where she was.Maya also informed her that Lucas had stopped by to ask about her. She wished she had seen the text earlier so she could prepare herself for Lucas's arrival.A chill of apprehension snaked through her as she tried to catch the heated exchange already unfolding below.She knew Alex would be never tell Lucas that she
