Author's PovA month later Lily smiled as she stared at the lunch box in her hands walking towards the company Cyril told her about. She wanted to surprise him, she had been trying to learn a few dishes so she could cook for him. She still remember their small interaction where he confessed he never was able to taste homemade food, her heart still felt heavy for him remembering his words.Cyril lost his mother during the delivery, she lost too much blood and couldn't he saved, it was a miracle that he didn't die. While his father was never there for him, he was always busy with his business and never was attentive to Cyril. Lily didn't like prying in someone's past especially when she had decided to built a different future with him, so she didn't push him much to reveal much when she realized how hesitant and reluctant he seemed.It was too early to open up about their deep secrets so she decided to give them a little time, Lily also shared about her family and why she didn't want t
Author's PovLily stirred in her sleep steadily opening her eyes, she habitually forwarded her hand to grab her phone from the side table but instead her hand met with something hard making her clear out of her vision. She moved her hand slightly feeling something like flesh under her palm, it was warm yet so hard making her snap her eyes to the person laid beside her in panic.Her wide blue eyes met with bare tanned flesh of the man laid beside her, he didn't have any restrain on her, they were just laying beside each other without making any physical contact but Lily still felt blush rising up her neck burning her whole face. She gulped when Cyril moved in his sleep turning his body in her direction still being deep in sleep.She gulped watching this unusual sight, his face was really like an art, her lips parted as she moved her pupils all over his face drinking in his every feature like she was painting his image in her mind. Her head tilted slightly letting her flashy ocean eyes
Author's Pov"No Alex, I don't think I can come back two months before the competition." She mumbled looking through the completed material placed in front of her, there was something missing in the painting, she laid down her whole heart yet she wasn't satisfied."It's your brother's marriage and you're going to skip it?" Lily chuckled at his grumpy voice before placing her brush down."I definitely won't, I will definitely come back a month before the wedding, but if I tried coming back this early my work will be put backwards." He sighed not wanting to argue with her anymore as he knew how much this competition meant to her."Alright, tell me about yourself, how are you doing? Did someone disturbed you?" As expected of her protective older brother, she was sure he was going to ask her if anyone tried hitting on their sister.Liliana badly wanted to share her whatever the relationship she had with Cyril with her brother but thinking of the extreme reactions she got from them after s
Author's Pov"Club, party, and shopping, are these the only things matters to you, you told me you will be joining your father's company soon but you didn't why?" Lily asked her nonchalant friend who ordered a drink for herself standing near the bar of the crowded club they came to.Charlotte glanced at her in irritation before swallowing the shot in one go, "Let me enjoy a few days of my freedom Lily, soon I will have to handle my father's business and also get married to make more alliances, my father already announced that his business isn't going well from sometime, so yeah I will be married soon so let me enjoy this time." Lily's eyes instantly saddened hearing her friends words.Lily already knew about Charlotte's father condition, it was inevitable that one day she will be married to some powerful man to make alliance. It had been going on for ages, her mother married her father for the same purpose and now Charlotte would be following the footsteps of her ancestors. Lily was l
Author's PovBehind the partition inside the car, the light sounds of kisses echoed, the man couldn't get enough of her as he rained multiple pecks all over her face before trailing them down her neck. She parted her lips breathing increasingly letting the starved man latch on her like an untamed beast.Cyril didn't waste a second and pulled her inside the car before shutting the partition and ordering the driver to start the car before settling the petite woman on his lap. He removed her heavy coat and muffler, the heater was on yet the heat erupting from their bodies set them on fire of desire and want.Lily was nervous, anxious and fearful, she felt every other emotion except unwillingness, she wanted this, she wanted him and she was sure of what she had decided on. She held onto his shoulders as the man zipped down her dress letting it fall on her shoulders loosely, the man took the advantage and thrusted his face in her cleavage.She urged her back letting out a soft moan making
Author's PovIn the middle of the night, Lily stirred in her sleep hearing some noises near her, her tired heavy eyelids were blinked apart as her vision slowly went towards the silhouette of the man standing beside the bed wearing his shirt. Even his hair looked freshly showered, she coughed a little finding her throat extremely pained because of all the screaming he forced her to do last night."Cyril," Her soft hoarse whisper entered his ears as he instantly turned around buttoning his shirt, he looked at her sleeping doe eyes staring at him with her red puffed cheeks, her lips curled into a small pout looking hella tired, it was obvious she could fall asleep again within a second.His eyes softened unknowingly watching her looking at him with concerned filled gaze, he walked to her side, "Sleep, I got an urgent call and its important." He mumbled bending his head to her laid frame as she frowned deeply."At this time, what kind of business is this?" She whispered, Cyril chuckled b
Author's PovLily was busy reading the novel she just started yesterday, her eyes instantly widened when she read the next lines which left her utterly speechless. Lily had read a lot of smut books even some bdsm related, but this was the first time she was reading something so explicit and kinky, the male lead was a freak indeed, the female lead was a prostitute in the story and the male lead was trying to find a way to fill the void he was having from the last few months.Satisfaction was no where near him, the man was a sex maniac but from some months he just couldn't gather the usual spark and satisfaction he used to get. He had came to the club to meet his business partner who arranged a strip tease for him and for the first time in last 6 months he was seduced, badly fucked. Lily gulped when she read how the female lead named Rosy removed her thong before she laid her body over the male lead Alessio, he groaned throwing his head back when she grind her hip against his hard groi
Author's PovCyril stood in the balcony of her hotel room with a light cigarette between his fingers, his eyebrows were furrowed, lips continuously puffing out unhealthy amount of smoke and the weird feeling creeping against his chest were all so unsettling to him. His eyes momentarily went towards the woman cuddled inside the heavy warm blanket wearing his shirt.Even the cold wind caressing his bare chest couldn't suffice the fire burning in him. All the thoughts messing his mind didn't even let him see how the cigarette ended and it soon left a small tingling sensation over his fingers as he let it fall on the misty floor. He palmed the railing gazing at the empty swimming pool area.Cyril helped Lily to settle here and she just had a month left in her hands, last night she told him while they were bathing that she will start her last painting tomorrow and after this month she would need to return to London because of her brother's engagement. She naively promised to call him every
Author's PovLily wiped her tears watching the window of the plane with her heart still aching with utmost pain. She had never thought she would have the privilege to see Cyril this way one day, this time he actually remember what she wanted him to. From the very start when he came back wanting to claim her again, she badly wanted to wear a simple apology from him.Her heart was never at ease and whenever she felt it softening towards him, she reminded herself that how that egoistic man didn't even care to accept his wrongdoings and apologise to her. And now when he did, she couldn't feel any movement or acceptance in her heart for him.She sighed closing her aching eyes, she had accepted the fact that he did like her now, he was really drawn to her like she was to him once but the pain he caused her was too much for her to find in her to forgive him. She wished, she really did wish to forget everything and find her happiness again which was connected to him but she couldn't. She just
Author's Pov"I remember it!" Cyril said with his eyes holding hope and a weird light that Lily had never before witnessed in them. He took deep breaths trying to calm himself before he finally pulled something out of his coat's pocket.Her eyes froze for a second as she stared at the thing in his hand. The confession card she wrote to him, she gulped when she noticed the brooch similar to the emerald bracelet he gifted her attached to his coat. The same gift she prepared to give him on the day she wanted to confess to him. Her eyes felt heavy and for a second she felt them welling up in sadness. "You once told me, you will become soft and forgiving whenever you see someone holding your gift with them even after years." Her blue misty eyes snapped to his as she actually was surprised at his words, he remembered her words so clearly made her slightly stun."The day I found them in your hotel room, I was confused, I didn't understand what I was feeling for you at that time, I just want
Author's PovLily huffed in annoyance when her apartment's door was knocked revealing another parcel, it didn't take even a second for her to guess who sent these. Grabbing it she walked inside before finding small stuff toys in them. She remember telling him how she preferred gathering small toys than the big fluffy ones.Her eyes stared at the box filled with the small dolls of her favourite movie characters, Harry Potter. There was a time she used to share with him how she will do anything to collect dolls of the characters of this movie. She noticed the only character she shared how much she loved, she had a weird hate and love relationship with this one character and there were dolls of his.Severus Snape, there was something about his story which always made Lily love him for what he was yet hate him for the choices he made. She always hated him for not moving on and destroying himself for the woman who never for once looked back at him, she loved him for the devotion he had for
Author's PovFlashback Cyril silently watched her laid beside her asleep frame, she looked so serene, peaceful and something like need to stare at her, he didn't mind watching her without even blinking his eyes. He had many nights in her embrace before but never had he ever before wished to just watch her without taking his own rest. He raised his hand to touch her puffy cheeks when suddenly her phone laid beside on the side table started vibrating. He ignored the three calls that came in a row before he heard a tinge of notifications. Cyril knew it wasn't ethical to peak inside her phone, but he wasn't ethical anyways.He grabbed her phone and saw a few messages from the name Alex, initial messages contained the questions about her well being, he was about to close the phone when his eyes fell on the next message which paused him. He narrowed his eyes feeling a flaring anger seeping through him as he opened the message.Darren called me today, he wants to meet you to discuss about
Author's PovLily stirred from her sleep feeling warmness all over her, she tried to push the heavy blanket wrapped around her away but to no avail, it didn't even budge. Finally groggily opening her eyes, she looked down only for her eyes to snap up the next second as she realized why that heavy blanket wasn't getting off her.It wasn't a blanket, it was his arm. She instantly sat up roughly throwing his arm away only for him to wake up with an irritated face. "Never knew you wake someone who took care of you whole night like this." She frowned at his words watching him as he leisurely sat up on the bed stretching his stiff muscles.Lily looked around realising that it wasn't her apartment. She was again in his room making her almost jump off but before she could do so, he grabbed her body jerking her towards him. She gasped out grabbing his shoulders as his strength pulled her tiny frame over his making her fall against his chest.Not giving her a chance to move away, he grabbed her
Author's PovLily entered her office room startling the manager the moment she looked in the young women's eyes, "What is wrong with you?" The lady said looking at Lily with concerned eyes. Lily's eyes were bloodred looking damn dull and tired, she cleared her hurting throat and gave a small nod."It's ok, I am fine." She mumbled dragging her feet to her painting which she started three days ago, her first painting submission was today and she had to complete the details till night.The gallery manager stared at her as she tied her messy hair in a tight bun and grabbed the paint brush, from the looks of her it seemed like she hadn't been feeling well, and in this condition, she definitely wouldn't be able to work properly. The manager didn't want her to work in such a condition, she might ruin the painting and it will only increase her workload.She walked out of the office and just when she reached the main hall, she caught the sight of their CEO heading towards the elevator, "Sir,"
Author's PovLily had many assumptions related to his painting, she thought it might be their intimate moment or maybe the beautiful kiss they had in the heavy snow. But never had imagined him painting nothing related to them or their moments instead, it was just her. She was smiling brightly with her eyes sparkling the way they used to when she looked at him in the past. Her one palm was rested on her cheek, her partially curly hair down and her big blue stones shined through the art making her stunned for a second at how perfectly he had painted her. The way she smiled, the way her eyes sparkled whenever she was with him and the glow on her face, everything was on point.She was so stumped that she didn't even notice when he walked behind her, her body jumped in surprised when he wrapped his arms around her placing his chin over her shoulder. And surprisingly this time even she didn't move or struggled like a wild kitten that she was doing from the time she came back."Remember you
Author's PovStanding near the door, Lily bit her thumb nail watching the exchange happening between her victim and the doctor. Shawn was standing beside her keeping his usual stern stance intact. The doctor wrapped his whole head with the bandage ailing the spot she burst open with her angered hit. Cyril's bathrobe which he got changed into after getting hit was had a few stains of blood but the towel he was wearing was another story."The driver is waiting for you, you should leave miss." Lily snapped her guilty eyes towards Shawn before blinking in understanding. She glanced at the closed eyes man hissing in pain, she felt a few emotions in her heart but the most prominent ones were Satisfaction, and guilt.Lily carefully left the room making sure that he wasn't looking at her. She really had done number on him, the doctor prescribed a few tablets for him and after talking to Shawn left the room. Cyril was holding his head internally groaning at the pain, her strength was unbelieva
Author's PovSitting on the single person bed, he stared down at the woman sleeping on him, her head was resting on his lap as her lower body was resting on the small portion, his body was massive which almost covered the whole bed if he hadn't let his half body off it. Cyril couldn't sleep, the moment he felt her soft breathing indicating that she had embraced a peaceful slumber he opened his eyes and left her body only her to stirr a bit letting her head fall on his lap.His let his back rest against the cold wall as the bed had no headboard, he unblinkingly watched her sleeping trying to find the answer to her question, why he couldn't just let her be? He was the one who wronged her, he simply was interested in her and had his way with her through deception, he got everything he wanted from her yet after hearing about her return he wanted nothing but to bring her back to him.And the fact that she didn't know the power he held was beyond the ones her family held might make her hope
