Author's Pov"My poor daughter, you went so much on your own. " Amelia, Lily's mother said caressing her cheek as tears filled her eyes. Lily looked down not letting another tear out because of that man anymore. She wordlessly crawled forward burying her face in her mother's stomach as she hugged her tightly, "I am sorry mom, I disappointed you again." She whispered but this made her mother instantly peck her forehead holding her tightly in her arms."No, you didn't, it wasn't your fault, he just never deserved such a pure woman like you." Amelia caressed her head while Lily finally opened her bloodshot eyes looking up in her mother's soft ones."Really? You're not disappointed of I being so weak?" Amy sighed shaking her head."You're not weak my love, you're so strong that even when you were going through so much pain alone, you didn't break down, only strong person could handle such a pain with maturity like you did, I am so proud of you." Amelia said smiling through her tears as s
Author's PovLily smiled softly watching the crowd gathering around her side of exhibition where all her paintings were set. She felt a huge burden lowering from her heart finding a reason to smile again, yes this was it. This was the exact scene she had waited to enjoy for years and now finally she was able to see it, there was no way for her to feel sad or think about the terrible two months she had.The exhibition was held by the infamous painter of the Russia, and a few investors, all of the judges will rate the paintings according to their creativity and critic followed by the audience's choice as well. There were a few pros and cons of this exhibition especially for Lily as if she lost this competition. She will have to use her brother's help to organise a gallery event for her which she most definitely didn't want to.But if she won, in which she didn't have much confident still, if she did she will have the privilege to work in one of the judge's company where she will be assi
Author's Pov"The winner of International Art Competition is, Liliana." The massive rounds of claps erupted from the crowd as Liliana with a bright smile approached the stage, but the moment she stepped on the stage her smiled dimmed a bit when she noticed the man holding the award, she gulped as her steps faltered slightly but regaining her composure she smiled at the other judges and shook their hands before nearing the man who hadn't removed his eyes from her from the time he casted his vote.The vote which wasn't given to her by him. Everyone thought that Cyril will choose her series especially with the way he stared at her painting longer than any other judge but to everyone's surprise, he stepped away and voted for the painting which the first judge did. But thankfully her paintings were appreciated by the audience and the last judge, she had the highest votes in audience choice category and also 3 out of 5 votes from critics which made her the winner.Liliana smiled at the au
Author's Pov"Ms. Liliana, you will have to join the company from tomorrow onwards, also you remember tradition right?" Lily stared at the smiling woman who supposedly was Cyril's company's head of gallery. Fortunately she was a sweet woman, Lily nodded her head and the woman smiled widely before leaving her alone.Tradition, she remembered it. It was years long tradition to bring a gift for the judge in whose company the winner would be selected. And now she has to give that bastard a gift as well, she scrunched her nose in disdain. She wouldn't want to spent even a cent on that lousy man but she knew it was the tradition and she solely couldn't change it, her lack of respect towards this culture might bring bad impression on her professionally.Lily went to the church for a peace of mind, when she was little, her mother and aunt used to bring her and she eventually grown this habit of visiting church whenever she felt down. Taking a seat on the bench she stared at the people praying
Author's PovThe very next second her arm was grabbed by a large hand as he roughly jerked he'd pinning her against the canvas, it shook a bit but didn't fall making her snap her wide eyes to his blazing narrow ones. Her hands instinctively snapped to his chest as she tried to keep a distance between their bodies but Cyril's focus stayed over her troubled face."What do you think you're doing?" Lily mumbled trying to push his body back but he kept her near him glaring at her."What's the meaning of this?" His deep voice snarled against her face earning a small sarcastic smile from her."Why? Didn't like the artistic representation of your actions?" Her sarcasm instead of making him angry brought a small chuckle from his lips as he leaned his face closer to her ignoring her hands which were trying to push back his chest."There were so many memories of ours, and you found only this worth being painted?" Lily suddenly fell silent, she didn't want to tell him how to cope up with the hear
Author's PovHis searing kiss came completely unexpectedly, she didn't even in her wildest dreams thought of him doing anything like this especially when all she did was to insult him from the time they again met. Her struggles went frantic wanting him off her body but his massive strength held her on the spot.His tight grip on her chubby wrists made want to cry in frustration, she had never thought her hands could be this small compared to his. His one hand was enough to restrain her both, tears blurred her vision in both pain and disgust. His kiss wasn't just a simple one, it held the pressure of wanting to possess her, the need to glue them to his in order to make her realise the power in held.His body was thrusted between her legs in a way that even if she tried to kick him she couldn't have any access to his body, but still she didn't give up, her struggles didn't subside even for a second. While his kiss was as needy and harsh as it was initially. He made sure to force his ton
Author's Pov"What do you think you're doing?" Lily screamed when Cyril effortlessly walked towards the one bed plastered on the corner dragging her with him because of their hands being clapped with the handcuff.He sat down gracefully tugging at his coat, she stared at him in pure disbelief becoming speechless for a few seconds, "Are you retarded? I said ask him to let me out and open this!" She once again struggled trying to flap her hand out of the handcuffs but to no avail.Cyril looked up at her with a small frown like he was confused, "But you wanted me to locked up? It's just exactly what you wanted." She closed her eyes taking a deep breath, she didn't want to do something in her anger after all her anger had always been her biggest enemy, she hardly contained herself together in anger."You misbehaved with me, kissed me against my will! You should be the one locked here not me!" Cyril smirked shrugging in response."That you should ask the officer, he locked us both here." S
Author's PovLove, what was that? She never knew, she never experienced it in her whole life except for the love her family showered on her, but the one which she craved to experience by her partner never was granted to her, she had only one boyfriend her whole life, in her high school when she was pursuing her degree. He was a weird guy who seemed to be in love with her only until he proposed her, afterwards he started showing less and less interest. Until she finally realised why he was with her. He belonged to a well settled family, one of the richest to be precise and she knew he wasn't after her title of being a storm but he was after her body. He made a bet with his friends to sleep with the girl who was rumored to have no boyfriend or night stands, she got to know it after Xander Storm, her father threatened to run his car over him if he hurt his daughter which made the little scary guy run away but on the day of their break up he confessed about the bet ruining her faith and

Author's PovLily frowned watching the packed luggage of hers as she laid leisurely on the bed, her eyes steadily went towards the ceiling feeling a weird burdened sensation engulfing her insides. She palmed her heart hearing its rapid throbbing, she bit her inner cheek blinking a few times. Something wasn't right.Lily had no idea what was wrong with her but the moment she finished packing her things, she had this weird feeling something like she shouldn't go back there, but finally accepting the fact that it was just because of what happened to her last time there made her feel this way. Brushing the creepy feeling away she tried closing her eyes to take a short nap only for her room's door getting softly knocked."Oh, Sis, come in please." Lily smiled watching her soon to be sister in law pushing her head in her room asking for her permission.Serenity smiled walking near her making Lily sit up as well, "How are you?" Lily nodded her head assuring her."I am good, I just missed you
Author's Pov"Cyril," The man laid there stirred in his sleep as the soft familiar voice pulled him back from the nightmare he was used to embracing before.His red hazel eyes slowly parted letting them meet the worried blue hued ones, her big ocean eyes stared down at him with an unfamiliar concern which he hadn't seen in anyones eyes for him before. She gently palmed his cheek caressing his beard jaw with her soft thumb. "Are you ok?" His eyelashes flickered at her question, was he OK? He had no idea, the man he had became today didn't hear these questions before so he couldn't come up with any answer as well.She leaned her chubby face closer to his not pausing the warmth from her thumb rubbing away his burdened heart, "Nightmare?" She whispered making the rigid man finally nod wordlessly bringing a small smile on her full lips."It's fine, it was just a dream nothing else." No it wasn't. Sometimes he also wished it was just a dream but it actually wasn't. He had lived those momen
