Lily's POV:

My phone buzzed. It must be Stella. But I wasn't going to take out my phone and check the message. What if, in the meantime, the person behind me catches up to me?

I shuddered at the thought and kept on moving. Somebody was surely behind me. I could hear the footsteps.

My phone buzzed again. Someone was calling now. Maybe I can ask for help. Maybe if it was Stella, she will know that I wasn't still stealing the file and a creep was after me.

I kept my pace and slowly took out my phone as my heart drummed against my chest. It wasn't Stella, it was Ace.

Oh no. Did he find out? Did Stella really run away?

Whatever it was, I quickly answered. There may be chances I could be saved. "Lily? Where are you?" He asked in an annoyed voice.

Maybe he doesn't know.

"I don't know." I muttered aware of the footsteps behind me. I couldn't possibly think about two things at the same time. It wasn't one of my talents.

"Dammit Lily, why does it sound like you're running?" He asked a bit more

    Lily's POV:Almost a week had passed. And there are things bothering me in a good and bad way both.By good I mean, Ace haven't figured out yet about the red file missing from his office. Grandpa is finally getting discharged to come back home.By bad I mean, I don't know what will happen next.Things are fine. Grandpa is fine. But I really have no idea where it leads to Ace's and mine relationship. Because he did make a deal. And that deal stated that it was for me to stay with him until Grandpa gets fine.And now he is fine.If that would've happened weeks ago, I would've thanked the Lord and went home happily. But now's different. And I still can't believe how I can possibly love the guy who forced me to live with him.Did I just say that I love him?I mean, yes, but not that. I don't know if I love him. I like him, of course, I do. I feel the most adorable feeling when I'm with him. I feel the most safest with him. But I don't know if I'm ready for it.I sighed and sat down on the

    Ace's POV:She doesn't love you.She never did. How could have I not seen it coming?That message from that bastard changed everything. How the heck could he have such guts to send me that message? Who the heck does he think he is?She doesn't trust you.Of course, she doesn't. How could she? Most importantly, why? Why would she trust me? All I have done is hide things from her. I've not even told her a single thing.Why the fuck can I not tell her?I took the nearest thing and threw it at the wall.I didn't believe in that message but I knew it held the truth. Even if I didn't want to accept it, deep inside I knew that was true.I messed it up. Everything.I was selfish. I didn't tell her anything because I wanted her only to myself. Who knew she didn't even love me?I was fooling myself!I don't know if she'll ever love me back again.×××××××××××××××××××××Lily's POV:I went over in grandpa's room and saw him looking out the window.

    Lily's POV:Bright sunlight entered my eyes making me cflinch and turn the other way. But that only resulted in making me wince more as sudden pangs of pain jolted up my back. Then I realized I had slept with a sitting position which was a really uncomfortable one. No wonder why my back was complaining. I rubbed my eyes and stood up slowly, grimacing in pain. When it reduced a little, I went to the washroom to brush my teeth.When I came out, first thing I did was check my phone. But there wasn't any message or missed call. How much I wish there was one. I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach but I ignored it as I went down in the lounge.I'll wait some more. Maybe he hasn't...woken up yet?Delicious smell of pancakes hit my nostrils as my stomach grumbled in protest. Grandma saw me standing and greeted me with a smile."Come on, Lily. I was just about to wake you up. How do you feel about pancakes?" She asked.I looked at her with a smile. It reminded me of Ace's pancakes. I tried g

    Lilys POV:Small snowflakes fell on the ground making the whole view perfect. I slowly walked ahead aware of the silence. This silence wasn't creepy, it was comforting. This silence was reassuring.It was almost evening and I had decided to take a walk just outside my house. Because firstly, I needed to check out the snow and secondly, I needed time to think.I walked by a puddle of water which looked halfway frozen. I walked by a cute poodle rubbing its body in the snow with a girl. I walked by beautiful birds chirping. And then I couldn't just continue walking.I was tired. I went off to a tree and sat down under it. It's branches were covered in snow. I scrunched up and wrapped my arms around my knees.I had decided to go over to Stone enterprises, to Ace. Because I'm finally going to tell him. I'll tell him that I love him. I'll tell him that I love him more than anything.A smile formed on my lips as I rested my head on my knees.I must say that I didn't like him in the start. I

    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

    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

    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: 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

    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

    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: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

    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
