Lily's POV.
I look at myself in the mirror the next day like ten times before thinking that I am looking just fine. I am wearing a long sleeve turtle neck black top with a high waist grey pencil skirt. I am borrowing the grey coat from Emma and also black heels as our feet are of the same size.
"Good Luck." Emma says as I come out of my room.
"Oh I really need it." I say as I hug her and take my sling bag.
"Are you sure you want to go to your apartment today? You can stay here." Emma says.
"I know but my things are there." I say and wave at her as I leave the apartment.
We woke up early and I had breakfast with
Lily's POV.I am sitting on the couch with wine in my hand while Ryan talks with his brother as he gives them bourbon. I smile when Theo jokes to make me relax in his company. I must say that Ryan's brothers took the news of me being his girlfriend very well."How about we all go out for dinner?" Noah asks."Or maybe we can order in?" Theo says as he winks at me."What do you say, Lily?" Ryan asks."I already made dinner for us and I have made extra as usual and also brought a cake as I got the job," I say."You got it. That's a great baby." Ryan says and I look at him oddly."Eww. Ryan, nobody calls their girlfriend a baby an
Lily's POV.I went back to my apartment in Richard's car as he insisted that his driver would drop me soon enough. And that he does, I thank him and go towards Mr. Lennox's apartment.I inform him about my moving and his wife asks me to have dinner with them. She insists on it and I agree. Mr. Lennox asks me if I need any help and I assure him that I don't have much to pack.I take out some boxes from the basement and he helps me to put them in my apartment. I close the door after he leaves and start naming the boxes with marker. I stuff kitchen things in three medium size boxes and one big box.Then it takes only one big box to put my books. I put curtains and other trivial things in two medium boxes. Then order pizza for lunch. As I eat it
Lily's POV.Today is Friday and I have plans for Ryan's surprise plans. His birthday is tomorrow but as I know he will be busy with his family, I have only today to celebrate his special day with him. So I completed my work as soon as possible then went to different stores to pick up his gifts.First I went to the watch store where I bought a gift for him and I wanted some inscription written on the back of it. I pick it up then go to the next stop to my friend's house. All the paperwork is done and she tells me a helper would bring my gift to me at a given time.Then I go to the bakery and pick up the cake I ordered for him. I am so excited. I know he would be shocked to know about my surprises. I hurry back to my apartment and start making dinner whose small preparation I did in the morning on
Lily's POV.A month passes by after Ryan's birthday and I still feel like we are still in the beginning phase of our relationship. In this month many things happened like Teddy is growing up way too fast.He is still a bit chubby because of all the pampering he gets from everyone and all the sleep he gets. He is so adorable that even if he ruins some of my cushions, I can not stay angry with him.My one month in my new job was also very great. I got many compliments from my colleagues for handling every situation tactfully. And Vance was happy to have me as his assistant as he would get more time for Kathy who has become more dangerous according to him because she is pregnant with a boy.They came to know about this in the second week of June. Now Kathy
Lily's POV.The next day, Ryan comes to my apartment but Lady gives a warning bark. I calm her down and let her know that Ryan is part of the family. She sits aside but still looks at Ryan for sometime."I came here as soon as they left." Ryan says and kisses me."Why?" I ask teasingly as I go behind kitchen island."To check, if you are okay or not." Ryan says as he follows me and I raise my brows at him."Like this." I say as his hands go up my thighs."I have to check thoroughly." Ryan says as his hands reach its destination."I would be late for work." I say as I try to control my moan.
Lily's POV.I look at the time for the tenth time, Ryan has yet to arrive. I made so many things for dinner. I made his favourite grilled cheese sandwiches with tomato soup which has croutons too. I also made his favourite salad of vegetables and corn and also some mozzarella sticks.For the main dish, I made lasagna bolognese and for dessert we will have brownies which I brought from Emma's house. I also arranged romantic music along with lights just like Ryan did once for us on our two months anniversary.I even dressed up in his favourite color and the dress which I wore the first night in Vermont. The first night we took one step ahead. The night I lost myself and found a new me in his arms.As I feed Lady, I hear the jingle of keys and stand
Lily's POV."Listen carefully. I was with Ryan yesterday and he told me that he is getting back with Freya and soon they are going to announce their engagement." Vance says and I am shocked to my core. He is getting engaged."But we have to stop it as I heard Freya talking to someone on the phone." Kathy says."We should stop their engagement because you heard her talking on the phone. Why?" I ask."Freya was talking to someone saying that as soon as their engagement is announced, not only will his father come out from the edge of bankruptcy but also she will get enough funds to invest in her boyfriend's company too." Kathy says."But isn't her boyfriend Ryan right now?" I ask in confusion.&n
Lily's POV.We get inside the elevator and I act like I don't care who the hell he is. Ryan has no right to be jealous and upset when we don't have any relationship between us anymore. I feel uncomfortable and hot at the same time as I am standing beside Davis.I am starting to hate elevators nowadays as they remind me of not doing so many things. I hold on my breath and stay stoic as we go down. But when we get off Davis gets a good look at Ryan."You are Ryan Anderson. Hi, I am Davis. We met at the wedding." Davis introduces himself."Hi." Ryan says politely."And you know Lily." Davis says."Yes… I do. So where are you both going? Maybe I could drop you both." Ryan says."No thanks. We are going out on a date and I know you won't like becoming a third wheel." I say with a smile.&nb
Lily's POV.Two Years Later….."Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear, Adam. Happy Birthday to you." I sing as I bring a small cake for my sulking son in his room on the morning of his birthday."Dada?" He asks as he looks behind me."He will be here soon honey." I say and sit on the bed."No." Adam says to the cake as I bring it closer to him."Baby bun, Daddy called me to let me know that he would be here with a big surprise for you." I say."Suprise?" He says as he fumbles."Yes. A big surprise."
Lily's POV.I get pampered for whole morning to noon and is given anything I ask for. I eat fruits and light salad and soup as I have to also fit in my bridal dress. I lost some of my pregnancy weight and would soon lose the rest of it.I got ready in my dress which belonged to my mother and the designer had it modified a bit according to modern style. I cried when I first saw her dress which Lucas has taken care of for me. It was really an emotional moment for both of us.The wedding dress is white crepe material with full sleeve and off shoulder neckline. The back and end of the sleeves has lace work. It is buttoned from the back and has a mermaid tail hem. The hairdresser keeps my hair open and curls the end. She puts a beaded tiara and attached the chest level blusher veil over it. And I am ready to
Lily's POV.Two month have passed by and Adam looks so big now. He isn't my red little crying bun anymore. Now he is chubby and so much more playful.First few days were difficult for me as a new mother as I often start crying about little things like when he doesn't burp after feeding or when he wakes many times at night or more than anything when he cries.Viola being there really assured me and also Heather. Viola told me that I just have baby blues and all this thing happens. But if I was upset my boy would sense it and start crying.After that I handled myself. Ryan was a big help too. At night he would wake up to feed the milk I pumped out for the baby. He gave most of his project to Richard saying he needs paternity leave too as he didn't w
Lily's POV.After Christmas, we went back to New York to celebrate New Year with friends and I arranged a small party for our friends and family. It was the first time I hosted any party and it was fun too as nobody could complain about anything for two reasons. First because I was pregnant and second because I was perfect.When the clock struck 12, Ryan and I kissed like every other couple in the room. We celebrated till late. For years, I had no one to be happy with so much other than my family but now that Ryan is here my whole world has started revolving around him.Teddy and Lady have grown up to be so big now. It has become quite impossible to hold them in my arms anymore. But they have become mature enough to understand and take care of me. Through training and exercise, they have become quite sma
Lily's POV.It is November and it is starting to get very cold. And ever since little bun has started kicking he has left every shyness and is always busy playing football especially at night.Ryan thought that my mood would get better after this but little did he know that, that was all just a start. My mood which used to turn every minute, is now taking seconds to change.Today is 15th of November and also Kathy's baby day. We arranged her baby shower last month and I gifted her matching clothes to the one my son would wear. She was on cloud nine thinking our boys would have each other.We even promised to plan our next baby together which I now think is weird but not that much as Kathy and I have become very close to each other in the past thre
Lily's POV.The last two months have been blissful. During weekdays, we work during the day and then at night we go out sometimes to have fun. It is like we are dating all over again but this time not secretly.I enjoyed every minute of it even though some tabloids tried to spoil it by saying that I am not taking care of myself much. It is like I have some disease that should not be spread, so I should not go to work or go on dates.But some good tabloids oppose their thinking. They really appreciate the fact that not only am I working but having fun which I should have, to keep myself happy. Because if I am happy so is my baby.Those news literally get on my nerves some days especially when they try to invade my privacy. That is why Ryan specifically h
Lily's POV.The next week was going smoothly. Ryan and I got settled in our routine around each other.We would wake up together and have breakfast then he drops me at my workplace then goes for his company. Then he will make sure that I had my lunch by asking Lia to make my favourite lunch everyday and his guard delivers it for me.He would either pick me up from my work or send someone to pick me up. Then we will go back home together and have dinner. We would then take Lady and Teddy out for a walk then go to sleep after our sweet love making.I love every minute I spend with Ryan. He takes care of me very much and also assures me of his love on every chance he gets. I love when he showers me with sudden sweet kisses. I love it when he hugs me tightly. I love it when he caresses my b
Lily's POV."Exactly what it looks like." Ryan says as I go to stand near him and he wraps his arm around my shoulders."But dear you should have told us about it before revealing it to the media like that." Heather says."Mom, I was-" Ryan goes to say but Richard interrupts him."You answer to me first, Ryan. You got Lily pregnant, is that why proposed to her?" Richard says with anger burning in his eyes."No. He proposed to me because he loves me just like I do. He didn't even know that I was pregnant when he proposed to me." I say in Ryan's defence, "Look, why don't we all sit down and discuss this calmly. Please.""Lily is right, Richard. We should sit down and talk about t
Lily's POV.I look at Freya as she has lunch sitting beside Ryan and I don't know, rather to glare at her or Ryan. But I don't glare at him as his appetite has seemed to vanish just like mine. I hear the ping of my phone and look at it to see Ryan's message.'Please eat. If not for me then for our little bun.''Okay. But only for you. Please, you eat something too then meet me in the library. I really want to know how she knows about the baby.' I text back.I have some chicken noodle soup which Ryan had ordered for the chef to make for me earlier and see some relief in his eyes. He starts to eat too.When Freya whispered those words in my ears I was shocked but didn't show it on my face.
