"Lily, are you sure you want to get through this?"I hissed, placing the heated pot of masala on the counter, and waved my hand to cool the heat off. "Yes, I'm sure, Effie. I realized he needed to know; otherwise, I would regret it once I moved in with Birdie."Effie had a large tablecloth from the storage closet of my house. Clark and Sam are grabbing the portable table to put in the back."I know. But you first decided not to tell him, but after returning from the cruise, you changed your mind. You guys had called it quits.""We didn't call it quits; we simply became friends.""But it isn't weird that you're telling a friend he's the father of your child.""Effie, why are you such a mom about Lily and Liam's relationship status?" Clark popped up, holding the table under his arm. "Let the poor girl have her dinner date with her dream guy.""Just the other day, you were going crazy once I told you about it, and you're backing her up?"I turned off the stove and checked the chicken I h

We talked about school and mentioned Sydney. He didn't want to tell her and felt sorry for ignoring her at school after finding out she was a he. I told him I knew Sydney was a boy from his sister. Allison told me how much he had spent on himself to look like a real woman. I wasn't quite sure why Liam didn't realize it when they were - anyways, Allison said he had an operation below so that Liam couldn't tell the difference. We sat quietly between our conversations, gave a few smiles and chuckles, and sometimes looked at each other, wondering who would talk first.Whenever I wasn't looking at him, keeping my head down, I could feel his eyes on me. I quickly looked and found his majestic blue eyes staring at me. I had to look away to hide my face flaring up. It feels weird yet suitable to chat with Liam like this without him acting so cold towards me because of our uneasy relationship, but I wonder what he will think of me once I tell him the truth.I cleared my throat."Hey, what is g

"Lily! Open the door!"I heard Effie's voice shouting from behind the front door, banging like a manic. Morning came, and I got out of the shower. I opened the door, and Effie came busting in."Lily, are you okay?" She was distraught, holding my shoulders. "You didn't answer my calls or texts. I ran here as fast as I could.""You ran?" I lifted my brow and noticed the droplet of sweat on her forehead and her rough breathing."Yeah, I ran, fucking ran like Usain Bolt to get here," Effie exclaimed, swallowing, catching her breath, and exhaling. "Did something happen last night with Liam?""No," I shook my head and placed the towel around my neck, drying my hair as I sat on the couch. "Why?""Last night, he didn't come home until the next day," Effie gave a sly smile. "I assume you two had a good time, but when I asked him this morning, the bastard ignored me."Liam's voice echoed in my head, asking me to get rid of our child. The child grew inside me. Last night I wasn't in my right mi

At school was hard for me to concentrate. Even though my grades started slipping again, I wasn't going to have that problem anymore and try to focus. "Lily, can I speak with you for a moment?" I was about to leave my locker after putting a few of my textbooks inside to meet up with Effie and Clark at the Walker family's diner and heard Sydney call out to me. I was surprised to have her approach me after telling Liam the truth about who she was, but he did say it was bound to happen. "Are you here to get your revenge on me?" I speak in a harsh monotone. Although I'm okay, I'm not okay. Pissed. And already, I lashed out at people who didn't deserve to be spoken to like that. "Actually, no." She grabs my arm and tugs me into an empty classroom with only the two of us as she asks. "What's wrong with you?" I sat on a desk, rested my elbow on top, and laid my head on my hand, looking straight at the window. "I don't know what you mean?" "Yesterday's club," Sydney manage. "You were

I exhale, standing in front of the door of the Reid slash Wolfe's home.I received a text from Effie a couple of days ago asking me to come to her house this weekend for a party.After all, I'm over with Liam. Why would they suddenly host a party? I don't want to see him. I don't even want to breathe in the same air as him. I practically ignored him at school. Sometimes he would try to get my attention, but I just ghosted him. Going here was the worst because he lives here. Effie is my best friend, and I shouldn't say no to her invite because she has been calling and texting me non-stop to come, or she will ask Terry to drag my ass here.And I do not want that.So, here I am. I dressed nicely, which shows a little of my baby bump. I was not concerned about what the family would think once they saw my stomach growing because it was a family party. No other friends are included. I wore a yellow summer dress, knowing the cold weather this month, but I have leggings, UGGS boots, and a ve

I had just realized it the first time she introduced Zara to me. "Auntie?" I glance at Athena, who is sitting on Rex's lap. I see her stomach, and it is still rounded. A bit bigger than mine by an inch."This isn't Athena's baby, is it?" I ask curiously."No," Effie brought the baby up to her face, caressing the infant, then confessed. "She's mine."My eyes shot so vast that you could flick them out of the sockets. My mouth is long and wide enough that a family of chipmunks can nestle inside for the winter. I'm astonished by the news that I had to look at Logan with such a face. He chuckles and nods his head.I looked over at everyone else, and they all gave me the same answer.I shake my head and massage my jaw to get cramps. "Whoa! Rewind and freeze. What do you mean she's yours?""She's my baby.""Effie, I didn't know you were pregnant. I would have noticed by then. But with someone with perfect curves like yours. That isn't possible."No, silly," Effie coo, but it's meant for the

Seema had sent me the address to this place, and I needed to wear the proper dress code. This morning I had just put on a sundress, flip-flops, and a jacket in case it gets cold later.A waiter asked how many, but I spotted the back of Seema's head and ushered myself to her.I made my way to her table and sat the opposite her."Lily, darling," Seema put down a glass of red wine. "You came.""Nana, why are you here?" Not sounding rude, but curious. "I thought you were in India.""I was," pick up her glass and swirled the red wine slowly. "I only came back for business and to see you before I leave tomorrow."That's quick."Okay." I already feel she is here not only for business; otherwise, she would want us to avoid meeting. This isn't a grandmother visiting her granddaughter.A waitress came by our table minutes later and asked for my order."Order anything," Seema says to me.I wasn't hungry. Later I will meet Effie at the mall, shopping for baby clothes for Zara. I still do not use
Liam (Book 2) FORTY THREE
Given the thought and mixed emotions of Seema discovering my pregnancy had just made it worse. I didn't want her to know about the baby, and never. She may be my grandmother, but something about her feels off. That is what Effie felt about having a sixth sense, but she has been through a lot with her. It's not emotional to have this type of empathy. And Devin, something about him made the back of my neck hair go up. Whatever affected Liam that day on the cruise is affecting me too.That guy gives me the creep.I had myself stayed at Effie's house while I cleared my head. I would've done that at home, but I decided to lay low here for a while. Effie said everybody went out. Her sister is at work, and Ares is with Logan and the boys. Rex and Don are at the shop. Seth is hanging out with Terry, still pasteurizing him. The poor man. I don't know why Terry won't give him the uppercut. He got a soft spot for Seth. Logan and Ares are baby-shopping for the first time. Effie wants Logan, for t
