Love in Chaos CHAPTER 11: Meeting My Mother in law
The next day, I arrived at the mansion, still dazed by its striking beauty and magnificence. As we drove through the massive gate, my anxiety grew. I tapped my fingers nervously all the way to the house, and then I was led to the patio where a brunch was set up. "Hi, Lily," Jessica, Thomas's mum greeted me with a smile. She gestured with her hand for me to take a seat at the table, which was filled with an array of appetizing treats. There were freshly baked croissants, smoked salmon with cream cheese and capers, a platter of artisanal cheeses and charcuterie, parfaits layered with Greek yogurt, granola, and berries, alongside glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice and mimosas. I sat down, my eyes taking in the lavish spread before me. I salivated gushing over the delicacies, but I dared not show it for fear she’d view me as a hungry girl. "Hello, ma'am," I said, forcing a smile. "Welcome," she said. "Thank you." "I believe you and my son got to know each other bett
Love in Chaos CHAPTER 12: THE PROPOSITION
Lily’s Point of View A message popped up on my phone; it was from Thomas. It read: "Come out, I’m outside." Surprised, I walked to the living room and opened the door."Hi," I said, with a smile."Hello, Lily," he said."Come on in," I said, welcoming him inside.I watched as he looked around my house appreciatively. It wasn't as luxurious as his mansion, but it was a big, beautiful house and very cozy."You have a beautiful home," he said."Thanks," I replied. "Please sit. What can I offer you?" I asked.He gazed at me. "With your present financial condition, what do you have?"Was he serious? I thought. Some things are better left unsaid. It was the truth, but it was bitter. We didn't have much anymore, but we still had some decent refreshments to offer, even to a billionaire. I still had my savings from my work."I suppose I can get you some fresh juice," I said, dashing off to the kitchen before he responded."Thank you," he said as I offered him a glass of chilled fresh orange
Love in Chaos CHAPTER 13: SURPRISE VISIT
Lily’s Point of ViewThe next morning, as I tussled in my bed, my legs wide apart, I slowly opened my eyes. I caught a glimpse of a male figure sitting by my bed, staring at me. Blinking to clear my vision, I saw Thomas’s face. I had to be dreaming. I squeezed my eyes shut and shifted, my butt up in the air, trying to shake off the illusion. But when I opened my eyes again, he was still there, a grin on his face.“Good morning,” he said, his voice cheerful.“Morning,” I replied groggily. I glanced at my alarm clock and was shocked to see it was past 10 AM. I scrambled up. “How did you get in here?”“Your mom let me in,” he responded casually.I sighed. “You have to go back to the living room while I get ready for our day together.”“Very well,” he said, standing up. His eyes roamed over me appreciatively, making me pull the sheets over my short shirt and shorts. He seemed a bit disappointed as he left.I jumped off the bed, quickly made up, brushed my teeth, and ran into the shower. A
Love in Chaos CHAPTER 14: WHO IS SIMON?
Lily’s Point of ViewI searched my wardrobe and found a corporate outfit, one of my old work dresses. I chose a black suit with tailored pants and a white camisole underneath. I packed my hair in a bun, grabbed my bag, and headed downstairs. Through the window, I saw that the driver had arrived. "Bye, Mum," I shouted."Bye, Lily," she echoed as I shut the door.I entered the car, and we headed to the infamous Weston Global. As we arrived, I took a moment to appreciate the gigantic building, its glass exterior mirroring the sun. Taking a deep breath, I walked in. A personal assistant was already waiting to take me to Thomas. We arrived at his glass-walled office. He was hunched over his desk, engrossed in a pile of papers. “Hello,” I said softly, watching as his gaze lifted and his lips curved into a smile.“Welcome, Lily,” he said, standing up. He walked over, kissed me on my lips, and guided me to a chair in, front, of his desk. “You have a beautiful office,” I noted. My, eyes scan
Love in Chaos CHAPTER 15: IN THE ROOM WITH THOMAS
Lily’s Point of View I walked around the room admiringly. It was huge. “This will be your room soon,” he said, capturing my lips in his, deepening the kiss as he took off my jacket. I pulled away. “We should stop,” I said. “Why? You’ll be my wife soon,” he said, pulling me back to himself and kissing me again. His hands swiftly unbuttoned my shirt. I tried to resist him, but his grip was strong. I used my strength to push him away forcefully. “Stop,” I said. “What is the problem?” He asked, irritated. “This was your suggestion, to spend the day in my world. I usually end, my day with a woman in my bed and now we’re about to be married. That makes you the ideal woman for me to spend the night with,” he said. “We’re not married yet,” I said. “I can’t have sex with you before our marriage; my beliefs won’t allow it.” “What does that matter?” He asked with a hunger set to devour me. “I am attracted to you—that’s no secret—and I will be your husband soon. We might as well s
Love in Chaos CHAPTER 16: REVEALED INTENTIONS
Lily’s Point of View As I followed the lady to meet Mr. Geoffrey Weston, my heart pounded, feeling as if it might leap out of my chest. He was sitting in a quiet part of the mansion, sipping scotch from a glass. I walked in, watching him from behind before moving to stand in front of him. “Hello, Mr. Weston,” I said. “Hello, Miss Stack. I was glad to hear you were here. It’s good to know you are warming up to my son,” he said, gesturing for me to sit next to him. “Would you like a drink?” he asked. “No, thank you. I do not take alcohol,” I replied. “I see,” he smiled. “Did I tell you that your father always spoke so highly of you!” he began. “So when he told me you were his most priceless possession and agreed to have you marry my son, I knew you’d be a fitting wife for him.” “Sir,” I started, “I don’t think this would work. We are different people. We’re not compatible.” “You are seeing it wrongly, young Miss Stack. It is that difference that makes you uniquely
Love in Chaos CHAPTER 17: THE ENGAGEMENT
Lily’s Point of ViewMy life had turned into a roller coaster of the same routine. I visited the mansion, Thomas visited me, and we ended up in a restaurant or at one point Thomas’s office at Weston Global. Either way, my days were increasingly centered on marrying into the Weston family. As usual, I stood at the towering mahogany double doors of the mansion before the butler, Abraham opened the door. This time, I wasn’t alone. My mum was beside me. We exchanged glances as the door opened and we walked in. “Welcome, Mrs. Stack, Miss Stack,” Abraham said, his lips parting in a warm smile.“Thanks, Abraham,” I said, flashing a smile. “Thank you,” my mum said, a half-smile on her lips. He ushered us in. Again, I became tense. It had gradually become a habit anytime I was around a Weston. I guess the fear of the unknown choked me.“It’s nice to have you in our home again,” Jessica said welcoming my mum with a kiss on the cheek and then me.Mr. Weston gently shook our hands, welcoming a
Love in Chaos CHAPTER 18: THE SHOCK
Lily’s Point of View My eyes blinked slowly open, and I saw all their eyes peering at me: my mum’s, Geoffrey’s, Jessica’s, Thomas’s, and even his—Si, or should I say Simon Weston's. I closed my eyes again, unwilling to see him. “Lily, open your eyes, please,” Thomas’s voice rang in my ears as my eyes fluttered open again. I soon realized he held my upper body in his arms. “Lily, darling, are you okay?” My mum’s voice echoed. I could see all their worried looks, but I froze, numb. It was like the weight of it all—my father’s death, the contract marriage, the love who left me and turned out to be my soon-to-be brother-in-law— came crashing down on me. “Call the doctor,” I heard Geoffrey say as Jessica rose from her bending position to swiftly carry out his instructions. “Let me take her to my room,” Thomas said. “I’m fine,” I finally spoke in a weak and low tone. Everyone stared at me, surprised including Jessica, who was phoning the doctor. “I want to go home,” I said a
