Love in Chaos Chapter ONE: HOW OUR LOVE STARTED
Three Years Ago Simon Imagining my cold heart turning warm seemed impossible till Lily Stack came into my life six months ago. From the moment she walked into my office, hair dripping wet and clothes drenched, seeking an internship placement, she had my attention. The spark in her eyes was something I couldn’t resist. I saw in her eyes the fire I had in mine five years ago when I started Siwes Ltd. Hers was filled with a desire for more and mine with a drive for survival. If I were to break out from the Weston dynasty, I had to build my own. Hardwork, sacrifice, determination had brought me this far. Sitting as CEO of a financial service company that operated globally and had amassed a worth of over $30 billion dollars in just five years of its inception. In all that time, I had no interest in anything else until her beautiful brown eyes bore into mine. I started off only intrigued, wanting to know more about her. Unwilling to let her out of my sight, I handed her a job by my s
Love in Chaos CHAPTER TWO: FALLING FOR LILY
Simon Before now, I thought kissing her would permanently bind me to her spell and I couldn’t allow it. Distraction was a luxury I wasn’t prepared to afford. Not now, I still had revenge beclouding my better judgment. I’d be terrible for her. None of that mattered now; I was about to be entrapped. Damn…I knew I had lost the battle. "Yes, I want to kiss you," I admitted. "You can't. I work for you," she said, her voice trembling. "You do," I acknowledged, yet it didn't stop my hands from caressing her arms. "That's against your principle. You don't have romantic relations with your employees," she said restating my words back to me, trembling under my touch. "No, I can't," I agreed, yet my hands continued their slow exploration. "You're not the type of man that kisses his employee in his office during work hours," her words said one thing, but her actions betrayed her. "I'm dying to kiss you," I confessed. She placed her hands on my chest and softly moved them
Love in Chaos CHAPTER THREE: CONFLICTS OF THE HEART
Simon I couldn’t leave things as they were. I had to fix it before it was too late. I strode into Lily’s office, a space I had deliberately created for her so I could watch her through the glass. It had slowly became my favorite hobby—looking at her through the glass with a cup of coffee in my hands. As I stepped into her office, she was already clearing out her desk into a box. “Lily,” I called. She looked up at me, then her hands got busy again, packing her stuff. “My Lily,” I said softly. She stopped and turned to face me. There it was again, the spark in her eyes. This time, it seemed like she wanted me just as much as I wanted her. My body screamed at me to grab her in my arms and kiss her over and over again. But I didn’t dare oblige, not until she spoke to me. “I’ve thought about it, as you asked me to,” she said. “Yet, I can’t help but feel that as long as you’re keeping a part of you away from me, we’d end badly.” I moved closer, putting my hands around her waist, m
Love in Chaos CHAPTER FOUR: THE DECISION
As we arrived at her apartment, we gazed at each other, unwilling to separate. The chemistry between us was stronger than either of us could suppress any longer.“Would you like to come in… just for a while?” she asked, seeing the surprised look on my face. The look she saw wasn’t resistance if that’s what she was thinking. On the contrary, I was delighted.“Yes,” I said eagerly, a smile slicing my lips. She flashed her beautiful smile that shone in her eyes too.She had a decent apartment, I noted, looking around. It seemed a bit expensive too. I bet her rich father covered the bills; she often talked about him fondly. “You have a beautiful apartment and quiet too.”“Thanks,” she smiled. “I live here alone; it’s usually me and the silence,” she said.It struck me that in the entirety of the time we spent together, we never met outside the office. On weekends, we communicated through emails or text messages, but I couldn’t bring myself to take her out on a casual date. I admit I had b
Love in Chaos CHAPTER FIVE: RISING PASSION
Simon Marriage seemed like a good idea. I didn’t think it hasty considering I’ve known her for six months. She was the right woman for me, I could feel it in my gut and I desperately wanted to touch her. I’ve been with so many women but never have I been eager to be with anyone as I was with her. If my rising libido was the push I needed to abandon my fears and marry the only woman who understood me beyond my success or wealth, then now was the perfect time to seal the deal forever. “Let’s get married,” I said again, with more confidence. “I heard you the first time. You don’t know what you’re saying,” she said, pulling away from under me and standing up. “You should leave,” she added, sounding a bit upset. “Lily, I meant what I said.” “That’s crazy. Do you want to get married for sex? Can you hear yourself? There’s so much more to marriage, and the fact that you demean it like that—and even me. What, you thought I’d jump at the idea and swing my legs wide open for you becau
Love in Chaos CHAPTER SIX: MARRY ME
Simon My eyes took in Lily’s stunning figure as she opened her apartment door. Her red netty nightwear clung to her curves, revealing glimpses of her skin beneath the ruffles. My gaze locked onto hers, noting the firm, almost upset tone in her voice as she spoke. “I didn’t think you’d make it,” she said, her hand resting on her waist. “I’m sorry,” I began, stepping inside. “I had a meeting with a foreign investor that dragged on longer than I thought.” “I waited for you all day,” she replied, a hint of frustration in her eyes. “I already ate the dinner I made and was heading for bed before you came.” I moved closer, pulling her soft body against mine. “Forgive me…my Lily,” I whispered in her ear. “It’s okay,” she said, her gaze softening as it met mine. “You’re here now. How did the meeting go?” “It went well. We came to an agreement.” “That’s good,” she smiled. “You smell good,” I said, inhaling her sweet scent before pressing my lips to hers, savoring the delicious
Love in Chaos CHAPTER SEVEN: TURNING POINT
Present Day Lily The rain had started just as we stepped out of the church, a perfect blend to the day already soaked in sorrow. My mum and I were dressed in black, our mourning outfit befitting for the grief that squeezed our hearts. She still looked as fashionable and elegant as she did every other day. I suppose I looked graceful as my mother had picked out my dress. Her hand was cold in mine and her sunglasses hiding the tears I knew streamed down her face. My own eyes were swollen and dry from crying, I could barely see. The service had been long. I barely registered in my mind words of comfort from friends and family. I kept thinking about Dad, how I would never hear his laugh again, never feel his arms around me in one of his warm hugs. As we descended the steps, I just wanted to get home and curl up in my bed, away from everyone and everything. I needed to drown out the noise. As we reached the end of the church steps, a sleek, black car screeched to a halt facing us.
Love in Chaos CHAPTER 8: THE FIXED PATH
Lily I sat on my bed, wrapped in a blanket against the evening chill, staring at old photographs of my father. Each image was a memory, of the past that felt so distant now. My fingers traced his smiling face in a family photo, tears blurring my vision. How had everything fallen apart so quickly? Mom stood at the door, hesitant. "Can I come in?" she asked softly. "Yes, Mom," I said, my voice barely a whisper. She settled on the bed beside me. "I'm sorry for leaving," I said. "Don't say sorry. I'm the one who is sorry," she replied, her voice breaking as she started to cry. "I'm sorry we didn't tell you. I was trying to protect you." "What happened, Mom? What is going on? I don't understand," I said, my tears mirroring hers. She sighed deeply. "Your father was a gambler. I'm sorry we didn’t tell you. How could I tell you that he lost all of our money?" "I don't understand, Mom. How did Dad lose it all? What happened? When did he start gambling?" I asked, my voic
