Lily blurted out. She saw through the man and knew that he was lying. Royal mother turned and glanced at lily whose eyes were focused on the man seated on the floor. Kayden Diego and Justin turned and saw Lily and the Royal mother standing at the door of the hall. Lily was looking too serious with the annoyance on her face. The man on the floor tried to turn to see the person who spoke but couldn't. The fetters used in chaining him was too firm to leave him a space to turn. "Come over lordess and prove what you said" Kayden Diego instructed. He watched his Luna as she took majestic steps forward. Royal mother followed and wants to see what would unfold. "This man is a liar my lord!!. He is a spy sent by the vampire lord to find a secret" Lily thundered. Turning to the man she scowl "Why don't you tell his highness that you were sent and failure to be successful will lead to the execution of your wife and children" As she stood in front of the man, she seemed to be x-raying
She arrived so swiftly like a wind. Lily almost thought she disappeared there all of a sudden. Lily recognized her at once. She was the one she met at Kayden's study that night who wants to be the lordess and asked the alpha to chose her( Envy) over her, his mate. Ignoring Lily she greeted"Good morning royal mother". Royal mother felt a little uncomfortable with Envy's approach but didn't put it it to heart. "You are here so early Envy. How are you doing?" Royal mother replied. But Envy was staring at Lily with utmost contempt and the latter spare her no good glance at all. "I am fine royal mother" she answered arrogantly. Royal mother squinted at how unpleasant Envy stared at the lordess. Before royal mother could say jack, Envy spoke "this is the human, your daughter in-law right?". Royal mother was unhappy how Envy spoke. She didn't even pay any respect to Lily as the lordess neither did she even greet her. Lily is not totally human but Envy categorized her completely to
Lily waited and looked at her mother inlaw to state what she wanted from her. Royal mother placed her hands on Lily's shoulders and said: "Promise me that you'll always wear this pendant for me" She requested looking very solem. Just that? Lily thought. She would be more than happy to wear it. If that's the simple request that royal mother was going to make, gladly she would give the promise. "I promise mum. I will always wear it wherever and whenever" Lily promised. She saw the brightened look on Royal mother and wondered if that pendant holds so much significant to her heart. "Thank you. That pendant used to belong to my daughter Xena. It was gifted to her on her last birthday by Kay. But she didn't get to wear it before her death" royal mother explained as the memory of Xena flashed through her mind. "Mum!, See what brother gifted me. Oh! It's so beautiful mum! This is the best gift I've ever received in my entire life" that was Xena's voice travelling in her memory. Three
Kayden Diego sat with his legs crossed as he watched his mate. She looked pretty and smart and holding a sword, she looked like a female warrior. Envy was standing with her sword dug into the ground, waiting for Lily. She was more than happy. She wondered if lord Diego would still keep this damn fool by his side as the lordess when the prisoners fest on her over the night. Lily heard Kayden called out to her telepathically, she paused but didn't look his side. "Defence first and same time master her methods of attack. Then lunch a deadly attack on her unawares". Lily smiled faintly before taking the few steps to stand before Envy. She doesn't know where her confidence came from, but she felt like a champion already. For the first time since meeting Envy, she saw her smile. She really smiled at her? Oh she must have start counting her victory already but she's definitely going to count her losses at the end of the day. The whistle was blown and the fighting officially began:
At this time, they were both just stepping out of the bathroom. Kayden had insisted they bath together. He doesn't feel like taking his eyes off her. She had impressed him greatly. Just that day, she had given him surprises, one after the other. First, she exposed the hidden agenda of the vampire spy, next she talked senses into him and this evening, she proved her worth to the entire werewolf clan and made him proud. He didn't lose face rather she made him respected the more and earn the respect of everyone in the entire clan for herself. His so proud of her and he felt happy that she's his Luna. "How did you fight with Envy and even won the contest. I am the only one in the entire clan that have an advantage over her" Kayden asked out of curiosity. He still can't fathom how strong Lily is to have overpowered that girl. "I can't explain myself. I only remember that I was acting under instincts. I found myself been driven by an inner force. But I would prefer to assume that
She least expected to see Lily sitting high there beside his highness. She looked so little below them. What a high level of humiliation. The one she detested and even refused to acknowledge as the lordess is seated today to decide her fate. Looking at Everyone present, Alpha Kayden commanded "Envy, before this Royal Court, state what your offense was?" Envy was chained and she could only whine in vain to free herself. She looked with hatred in her eyes towards Lily. This woman, she would end her life soon. She had made her ashamed and humiliated, she will make her pay for it. "I have done nothing wrong, your highness," Envy replied stubbornly. She will not accept any more defeat. Even if she was going to die, she would not accept her wrong. She was certain her father had pulled some strings that's why she didn't end up in the Ravens cage the previous night. He would have to pull more to enable her to gain her freedom. "You mean to say you went to the dungeon for committing n
Early next morning, Alpha Kayden went to exercise with his warriors and give them a little more training and gearing. Instructing them to see themselves as the brave clan warriors that they truly are. Towards noon, Alpha Kayden bade his parents farewell and went to his study with Lily ready to teleport back to the human world. Like how Lily held him when they left the human world, he instructed her to do the same. Only this time she held him passionately and placed her head on his chest. She didn't know how it happened this time as well but only opened her eyes to see they were in his study. This was where they took off from and they had returned again. She looked up at Kayden Diego and saw him towering over her with a smile. His usual royal robe had changed into a polo and a jeans trousers. He looked nothing like mysterious as he was in the werewolf clan. "Why do we take off and return through the study? Can't we take off somewhere else?"Lily asked like a little kid. Kayde
"I promise I won't leave you" Lily assured him. She said the very word Kayden wanted to hear from her. Kayden Diego felt really excited at Lily's words. "Sure?"he asked, seeking for an affirmation. "Absolutely," she replied. Kayden Diego bent over and kissed her temple. "I love you very much," he confessed. He doesn't know this is how love makes someone behave. He never thought he would ever love anyone but alas, he fell in love with Lily and wished he had known and possibly loved her earlier. Perhaps this fear he's hiding in his heart wouldn't have been there. "I love you too," Lily replied and smiled quietly. Wasn't this the same lord Diego who once yelled at her and told her he doesn't want to talk to her. He now confesses his love to her and even made her promise not to leave him. "Tell me something darling, why are sounding like someone who's afraid? Why do you think I will leave you someday?"Lily inquired. Kayden Diego fell silent for a long time before he decided to tel
He wondered if Lily felt any remorse for what she's done to his mother? She's behaving like she doesn't even give a damn. He was taken away by the police in handcuffs with his father. But his father said nothing. He doesn't know why he couldn't say a word. He was injected with an unknown drug by one of Lily's men. Had they turned him into a dumb man? Damian's mother was taken to a prison hospital. No one cared to investigate what led to her falling into a state of unconsciousness. Having settled everything, Lily sighed audibly: She'd taken her revenge and felt an inner satisfaction. Her parent's killers have been brought before the law. They were going to rest in peace and be happy that their daughter did what she was supposed to have done a long time ago: severe every relationship with Damian and sent him to jail Lily ordered the servants to give the mansion a thorough cleaning and remove everything that resembles or belongs to Damian Cross and his family. She would retur
"Get some rest, you'll be coming out as the Lily Cruz everyone thought was dead, tomorrow" Kayden announced to her. Now was the best time to act. Damian is powerless and is facing the battle of his life right now. His wife Anna has her own story to tell. No one can make a report about what happened that day, on the contrary they will be surprised when police come after them. "Tomorrow? I was going to still play around with Damian more" Lily pretended to be unhappy. She wants to see Damian Cross and Anna Brook pass through a second phase of her torture. "Is tomorrow too early? We need to strike while the iron is hot" If they delay, Damian Cross would recover and create a scene. And that may get them delayed." As for Damian Cross, you have dealt with him enough, let the law take over" Kayden Diego declared. "Ok. But how do I appear tomorrow?"Lily asked. That has been bothering her for a while now. Since everyone except Harold Aaron believed that she was truly dead, how will peopl
Anna Brook started sobbing audibly. "Lily, please spare him for old times sake and let's take him to the hospital. I am begging you". Her husband had suffered severe pains and even passed out. The least that can be done to him was that he should be taken to the hospital but alas, Lily wants to wake him up with a chilled water? Seeing the bodyguard's blood stained hands, she can imagine what Damian Cross was going to look like. He had lost his ability to father a child, but his life should be saved. The once naive and fragile Lily had turned into a monster. "You should start worrying about your own calamity rather than your dear husband"Lily declared and looked at her with hatred in her eyes. She should worry that Damian Cross would not be able to make love to her anymore. She had helped him to have true erectile dysfunction. Soon Damian Cross was dragged out and he was bleeding. The smell of fresh injury filled the entire hall. Kayden Diego and Justin would surely have been rea
Damian Cross blinked his eyes several times to be sure he wasn't in a dream land. He stared at the woman in front of him as fear gripped him. He tried to move back to possibly hide himself but he discovered he couldn't even lift a foot. This is Lily Cruz, she's not dead? Damian Cross felt his heart was beating very fast. He was shivering. Though still having his mouth taped, he knew his lips were shivering like being in a cold harmattan morning. So it wasn't Harold Aaron who was behind his abduction like he thought? Ahhh no wonder the fellow has so much of a confidence to misbehave. He probably had discovered that Lily was still alive a long time ago. Damian Cross stood with his eyes wide opened and stared like a stricken lunatic. Anna Brook suddenly felt a drop of pea in her undies. Her whole body was covered in goosebumps. She was sweating already. Her heart beat almost skipped. Lily was alive? Lily stood and watched their surprised gazes and how it turned into panic
Justin narrowed his brow and gave her a scrutinizing stare. She is definitely Anna Brook, the lordess friend who was helping her satisfy her husband. She doesn't look like a good person. Why would the lordess never discover her personality? Justin stare was filled with a cold aura that Anna Brook almost shivered, at his gaze. She unconsciously stepped back and held her mother-in-law's hands. The latter was also breathing heavily from the young man's stare. "If I had passed through the securities, would I have been able to hear and record your arguments?And know that you murdered Lily Cruz?"Justin finally answered. But none of the two women could answer him. Standing up abruptly, Justin ordered "Come along willingly or I bundle you like a stack of papers. Make your choice, I don't have time to waste on silly things like you" The two women started moving backwards. Obviously they are thinking how they'll escape. Justin just watched them and gave a wicked grin "Someone come, tie
A kind of anger rose within her. Why would Damian Cross be laughing when he saw her parents merged into the wind and disappeared? He should be sympathizing with her but he was doing the opposite. Was he happy that her parents had disappeared? But before she could reprimand him for his behaviors, she saw him bring out a dagger and was going to drive it into her throat when she started screaming: "No!, no!!noooo!!!" Then she woke up with a start and saw that Kayden Diego was holding her tightly in his arms. She was sweating profusely and her heart was beating very fast. She was shivering and held Kayden Diego as if she was going to melt into him. "A nightmare again?" Kayden Diego asked. It's really been a long time since she last had this kind of a nightmare. He was now tapping her gently on her back like a little baby that was being coaxed. Lily started crying. She snuggled herself into his chest as if he was going to vanish out of her sight. Cheng Bo cuddled her and allo
This was exactly what Damian Cross wanted. Seeing Harold Aaron's unpleasant stare, he chuckled "What's in there that you don't understand!" Damian Cross inquired and was obviously happy putting the fellow where he should be, at his call and beckon. "You fired me Damian? I worked with Lily's father and I also worked with boss Lily. None of them had any issues with me but you who just took over the company a few days ago have fired all the old staff and today you did the same to me?" Harold Aaron seethed. Damian Cross felt a little uncomfortable with what Harold Aaron said. If a company was going to make progress, one shouldn't discard the old hands, especially those who knew the in's and outs of the company. And Harold Aaron was like an asset. But his ego would not make him bulge. If Harold Aaron can condescend and beg him he might decide to retain him otherwise, he should go. He'll surely find someone to fill the vacuum. He doesn't want Harold Aaron to feel he was indispensable.
He froze when he saw her. He blinked several times and pinched himself. He wanted to be sure his wishes had come true. He really was seeing his boss? Lily saw the shock on his face and stepped out completely from behind Kayden Diego. She didn't say anything, just folded her arms behind her. She looked wronged and seemed very unhappy. "Boss Lily!!"Harold Aaron screamed out in joy and went to her, hugging her amidst so much excitement. He was not supposed to hug her, but he was too excited and threw caution to the air. "Let go my woman" Kayden's voice was cold. He won't tolerate it even though he knew Harold Aaron was too excited at seeing Lily Cruz and his happiness had made him hug her out of premonition. But he won't allow it to last beyond a few seconds. Harold Aaron immediately withdrew and bowed apologetically. He passed a glance at Kayden Diego and at Lily before dismissing the questions popping in his head. He would come to that later but now he was happy seeing his bos
"Harold Aaron!!" He could be more reliable than anyone else. "My assistant. He's more reliable and knows the in's and outs of the Cruz cooperation" Lily said. "Tell me a little about him?" Kayden asked. "Harold Aaron worked with my dad for years. After Damian killed my parents, I took over the company and retained Harold Aaron to be my assistant. He was faithful while being by my father's side and so he was to me too" Lily explained briefly. Kayden was pleased with Lily's analysis. That Harold Aaron might be just who they needed right at that moment. "He will be with us soon," Kayden declared and stood up. He had to inform Justin to pass a message to the bodyguards and assign them their first job. "Do you need his contacts?" Lily asked. At least with his contacts, it would be easier to track him down. Shaking his head, Kayden replied "There's no need" and went out of the door. In the Cruz cooperation, Damian was furiously stamping his feet on the floor. Harold Aaron had dared
