Lily's POV:

I froze where I was standing. Sudden fear gripped me. All I could hear was my own racing heartbeat. I know it was me they were talking about. I knew it was me he was talking about.

I didn't know what to do or what to say. This sudden fear was overwhelming. I felt the whole place spinning around me. Laughing at me.

I took a small step back. But Ace saw me. He instantly looked at me and froze too. He looked like he couldn't believe that I was here.

I felt wetness in my eyes drifting on my cheeks.

Come on, this can't be real! Why the hell am I crying?

Then I saw it. Regret on his face. And this was the first time I actually understood why it was there. Because he meant what he just said.

I felt a sob coming out of me. Before it could, I turned and ran.

I ran ignoring the fast beating of my heart.

Daniel was right. God, why didn't I believe him?

"Lily! Wait!" He shouted behind me.

I didn't listen. I ran. I rushed inside the front door of the suite and ran inside my room. But

    Lily's POV: I opened my eyes finding it hard to adjust my vision. The ceiling was too high. My head hurt and why was the bed so uncomfortable all of a sudden? I looked around and my eyes fell on my bed which was actually far away and I, myself, was on the floor. I quickly sat up which I shouldn't have because sudden dizziness washed over me. For a second, I thought yesterday never happened. For a second, I thought it was all a dream. But it wasn't. Everything was real. I remember getting panicky yesterday. I was so scared and lonely. It was like someone stabbed at the center of my heart. I went over on my bed, brought my knees closer to me and wrapped my arms around them. I didn't want to go downstairs acting like nothing had happened. I couldn't bring myself to do so. I didn't know what to do. I felt so lost. Something inside me felt broken. I was still sitting there when somebody knocked on the door. I didn't reply or move. "Lily. Please open the door." Grandma's warm w

  • His Possession   Forty Two

    Lily's POV:When I opened my eyes, I knew he was gone. He left even if he said he won't. I sat up and looked around. Last night felt so unreal. It felt like a dream. Maybe it was a dream after all.I leaned my head on the bed rest as a sinking feeling gnawed in my stomach. I looked beside me and froze. It wasn't a dream. There was a familiar white lily beside me.He had came. And left. But why? Why was he making it much more harder for me?I touched it's petals with my fingertips as tears filled up my eyes before falling down my nose. He said he'd never leave me and I was such a fool to believe him again. I was such a fool to ever trust him.I'm so tired of crying.I took the flower and threw it at the wall. I hate myself for still loving him. How could he have just come up in my room? He knew I didn't want to see him. I hated him.I was so busy crying that I didn't even see grandpa coming inside.He looked at me probably surprised, then came towards me."Lily, what happened?" He aske

  • His Possession   Forty Three

    Lily's POV:"So, where did you go yesterday with Stella?" Grandma asked curiously as we sat down for breakfast. I had no appetite but I knew better to have breakfast than add more questions in my already full list.I looked at anything but my grandparents."She said she needed to show me something." I answered. She looked at me for a moment, then nodded. Maybe she was waiting for me to go on but I guess I had nothing to elaborate."That's good. You should hang out with her more often." She said with a smile. I rolled my eyes internally and decided to finish my food as quick as possible. I really need sometime alone. To think."I'd be going to the library in a while. Just wanted to meet Jade." I said.Grandpa nodded without saying anything.Soon when I finished, I headed off to the library. It was still the same from what I remembered. The walls were painted the same peach. And of course, the big brown shelves full of books. My eyes traveled to the desk, just at the left, where my favo

    Lily's POV:I opened my eyes to find myself in a really different place. It wasn't my room. A room I've never seen before. I sat up with sudden panic coursing through my veins.Where am I?I looked at the bed I was on. This room was big and nothing like mine. I peeled the comforter off me and found myself in soft pink shorts and a tank top.I do not own these clothes!I was getting more frantic than before. My head was throbbing badly. I wasn't in my room. I wasn't in my clothes. Where am I? Why do I not remember anything from tomorrow?I stood up as fast as I could and reached for the door knob. Part of me was expecting that it would be locked, but it wasn't. When I got out, it was a whole new view. That must be the lounge. I looked around frantically for someone but there was no one here."Hey. You're up so early." Somebody said from behind me. I jumped back and looked at her. It was Arianna."Why do you look so horrified?" She asked, confused.I took my head in my hands trying to

  • His Possession   Forty Five

    Lily's POV:I was doing my best to find something that could really distract me. For instance, I started taking out and placing the books again in the shelves which gave me an eye roll from Nicole. But I really didn't care what she thought. I wanted this night to end somehow.When all the books were done arranging, I looked around for something else. The event would probably be starting in fifteen minutes now. Nicole was so busy swooning over the people that were coming in, there was no chance she would be a great company. Even for a night.I went over to the farthest shelf, where no one was, and sat down with my back against it. I took out a random book and started rummaging through it's pages. I'm sure Jade would be too busy to even notice me here."You chose a perfect spot." Somebody said from behind me.I looked up in astonishment. I was sure nobody saw me coming. I saw a boy with a handful of books looking at me with a grin. He looked probably taller than me, with tousled blond h

    Lily's POV:I've always thought, I knew everything about my life. I thought, I knew my parents. I thought, my life was no more than an average teenager's life. But it wasn't. I knew nothing about it. I knew nothing about my own parents. All I knew was a joke, a lie for me.I leaned my head on the window of the car, Ace made me sit in. After the incident in the library, I felt pretty numb and useless.When he had taken me out from there, I'd reluctantly followed."Where do you want to go?" He asked, staring at me. I looked at the green shrubs cornering the library and thought for a while. If only I could go back in time. If only I could've done something."I don't want to go anywhere." I whispered.I wanted to jump off a cliff and drown at the same time. I had no idea what I would do now.He nodded slightly and started driving. The silence was somewhat comfortable as cool air hit my face.Would I ever feel the same again, now that I know my memory was wiped off? Would I ever feel happ

    Lily's POV:The first time I woke up, it was around 3 am. I looked around adjusting my vision until I saw who was in front of me. I don't know why, but every limb of mine blew out a sigh in relief when I saw his face. Maybe because a part of me thought that he would go away.But he didn't, which was good.I placed my fingertips on his face before moving them up in his hair, enjoying the feel of it. He furrowed his eyebrows unconsciously as if tensed about something.How can he possibly be tensed about something when he's sleeping?I smiled and snuggled closer into him, placing my head on his chest as he tightened his arms around me. I closed my eyes with the comforting sound of him breathing just beside me.The next time I woke up, it was pretty much the morning. And this time, Ace was all wide awake, tracing small circles on my back. I pulled away a little and looked up at him. He stared back at me, his eyes shining like he just saw something precious."I thought you weren't gonna wa

  • His Possession   Forty Eight

    Lily's POV:The talk with my grandparents had been pretty normal. I told them everything that had happened in the library. They were partly relieved and partly concerned."I'm going to stay with him." I had said.They both had looked at me funnily as if they couldn't believe I was saying that. But in the end, they had accepted. So, here I was, back in the suite, sitting on the familiar couch and talking to Stella."You actually broke up with him when I told you not to?" She asked, probably frowning. Instead of accepting the fact that it's fine now, she was still stuck on that same spot. That's how she is."Sorta." I said apologetically.I was probably expecting one of her long speeches."Never mind, who cares? The thing is I'm happy you both are fine. Do you know what that means?" She asked excitedly.I was partly relieved that I got no lectures."What?" I asked curiously."We could go on double dates." She said, probably jumping.I rolled my eyes pathetically. She sounded more excite

    Lily's POV: When you decide something special, thinking that it'll surely go right and then it turns out into one of the biggest disasters. Okay, not that big but it gets ruined? How will that feel? Really bad. That's exactly what happened to me. Today was Ace's birthday. I had decided the plan probably weeks before. I had decided to make this day a really special one for him since all he does is well, work. I woke up extra early today. Still when I woke up, Ace had already gone to his work. Sometimes I think how can he even wake up so early? Anyways, that didn't matter. Because today it was best if he kept busy in his work beause I needed everything to be perfect today. Not even one mistake. So, the reason why I sacrificed my sleep this early is because I needed to make a cake. Cake only takes an hour. So why don't I make it later and sleep now? Well, that's because I am not your most perfect cook here. I barely know how to make pancakes. So you might guess what will happen wit

  • His Possession   Fifty Three

    Lily's POV:I picked up the plates as grandma and grandpa went over in their rooms to sleep. Grandma had invited Ace over for dinner today. I had been kind of excited while on the other hand, Ace was making sort of excuses. He was darn nervous. But that hadn't stopped me from dragging him to this dinner.I went over the dishwasher as I felt an arm snaking around my waist. I didn't jump or flinch this time. Because I knew who it was.Things have changed since then. Almost a month had passed since Valtor's death, me getting kidnapped and Ace saving my life. I could never call him my father. Because he couldn't be. A part of me always said that he wasn't my father and this all was some sort of mistake. He had been so cruel.I would usually black out or get serious headaches because of the drug he injected in me. The doctors tried their best to neutralize it, but it still left some side effects. Even if I tried to forget everything that had happened, I would always know that a part of me w

    Lily's POV:Beep...beep...beep.I tried opening my eyes but they were stuck. I tried moving my hand but it also wouldn't budge. I felt numb and weak and all my mind was screaming was to sleep. So, I gave away to sleep and everything went blank again.The next time I woke up, my eyes would still not open as if somebody had placed stones on them. I had already slept for I don't know how long. I didn't want to sleep anymore. It was like when you get that feeling of numbness when you wake up after sleeping so long. You can't sit up but you don't want to close your eyes too.I did everything I can to muster up the strength and opened my eyes slowly. It was hard adjusting my vision but soon I saw a white floor above me. No, it was the ceiling. A clear white ceiling.I blinked twice to adjust my vision."She's awake! She's awake!" Somebody squealed from beside me.I slowly turned my head to see Stella, looking at me worriedly.Her eyebrows were scrunched up in concern while she bit her botto

    Lily's POV:Once again the door opened with a loud bang as shadows came in inside. I was in the exact same spot, where I had been before, with eyes closed."Wasn't that odd, now? First attacking then leaving all of a sudden?" A manly voice asked with curiosity.That one wasn't Daniel."That isn't odd. Who would give their own life for this slut? That Morwood chickened out." Daniel said with a chuckle.I must admit, that did bring a bit pain in my chest. It almost made me believe that Ace really backed off. But he wouldn't. He had promised me. I just needed to believe in him."Shouldn't she already wake up? I mean, that dose wasn't even that strong." The other person asked.That other person didn't seem to have that rude aura around him. Because he slightly seemed concerned. I felt a slight nudge on my shoulder which I didn't respond to.Why should I wake up when all I would do is watch their dumb faces until the truck stops?But I guess it wasn't a choice. I had to wake up. Daniel nud

    Lily's POV:"Ace?" I whispered in his arms.He slightly looked up and nodded questioningly."Please don't leave me this time. I'm scared." I whispered pulling on the chains that were binding my wrists on the wall.Even if it was that dark, it didn't feel dark when he was there. It didn't even feel painful if he was here. He just made it much more easy to bear.He kept his chin on my head and kissed my hair."We'll go through this together, Lily." He murmured in a reassuring voice.That almost reassured me. "You will go, then?" I asked getting scared all of a sudden.He pulled me apart gently and caressed my cheek making me lean onto his touch."I will get you back, Lily." He whispered.At least, he wasn't leaving me for now. I leaned my head against his chest and closed my eyes. It was a dream. I knew that."I will get you back, Lily.".....Thud! Thud!I jerked open my eyes and scrambled over to Ace but found nothing where he was. He wasn't there.It was a dream.I ignored the burni

    Ace's POV:"What are you fucking here for?" I shouted at the cowering guard.My head was spinning with anger. If Zack hadn't stopped me, God knows what I would have done to him."Ace, calm down! You aren't going to help things like this." He said pushing me away from the guard.She wasn't there. She wasn't in that room when I got back. Why had I left her alone? Why had I not taken her to a much safer place?"I need to find her. God knows where she would be!" I racked my brain for a solution.The thought of her hurt and alone. That was enough to rise that anger again."Ace, you will find her. Get this all straight, first. This won't be easy, we're handling the biggest gang leader here. At least try to control your anger. It won't help." He said trying to make a point.Anger my foot. Right now all I wanted was to kill that bastard. Shred him into pieces if he even touched her.I won't let that happen."The police is already searching around the area. We will find her." He said moving tow
