Lilian POV“Finn? What a surprise to see you here,” I commented, actually being surprised to see him there on my door. He hadn't called me or anything, which made me wonder what he was up to.“Hi, Lilian. How are you doing?" he asked as he hugged me in greeting.I smiled at him. “I'm great,” I replied. He was dressed casually and looked fine. I hadn’t seen him since Friday night, when we were at Milo’s. He had left after getting into arguments with Jensen, looking very uncomfortable. I felt bad for him, since I didn't like what Jensen had done to him. But he was here today, so I could conclude that he wasn't upset anymore, at least not with me.“I'm sorry I showed up unannounced, but I just wanted to see how you and the kids were doing,” he said, looking a little disconcerted. The simple, dark blue t-shirt he was wearing suited his dark skin perfectly. Finn was tall, a little taller than Jensen, and Jensen was 6'2. He was thin but muscular, and his dark eyes were serene and protectiv
Lilian POVHe and I were walking down the street next to each other. The afternoons in that neighborhood were very quiet, children played side by side, cars passed along the street, and everyday activity happened everywhere. “Today is a beautiful day,” I commented after a while as Finn and I walked side by side. I could see my house a few feet away, and if I looked toward the porch, I could still see my triplets and Jensen there.Finn wasn't saying anything, he had an expression and looked a little stiff. Was what he had to say to me that worrying? I thought he was going to talk about our ruined date on Friday night, or maybe he was going to say something related to that, so I didn't know how I was going to respond to that since I was already having something with Jensen, something that I still hadn't defined, but it was still something. “Um…” he cleared his throat, looking around, trying to find a way to say what he had to say. At that moment we had stopped on the street facing eac
Lilian POV“I'm talking about myself, Lilian. You know I love you very much, and I want you so bad...” Finn said it softly and then kissed me right there in the middle of the street.I gasped into the kiss, my thoughts so confused that I couldn't even reciprocate properly. Finn had one hand on the back of my neck and the other on my waist, pulling me closer to him as he deepened the kiss. His mouth on mine was so enveloping, so addictive, that if I hadn't been so confused I would have ended up reciprocating. That was the first kiss he had given me after all these years that we had known each other.He slowly walked away, looking straight into my eyes, his eyes were heavy on mine, full of meanings. “Think about what I told you, okay?” he said to me, and I nodded.“Okay,” I replied, and he gave me one more kiss, but now right on my forehead, with affection and walked away. “See you,” he said, and I waved to him.“Thanks for visiting,” I thanked and then turned to go back to my house,
Lilian POVJensen sighed, “This time is different, this time I will fight for you, and I won't let anyone take you from me,” he said to me, making me look at him.“For that, you need to have me first,” I told him. “And know that this way you are not having any success.”He looked at me, annoyed. “Why are you saying this? All this because of the kiss the cop guy gave you? I mean, it only took him kissing you for you to change your mind about me so quickly?” He asked, looking like he didn't believe my words.“I'm not talking about Finn, Jensen. I'm talking about us,” I said to him, denying what he was thinking. “If you go to Finn all the time, you forget that you and I still have a relationship to resolve. Finn isn't the problem here, Jensen. The problem is that you and the fact that you easily lose trust in me.”He sighed, looking conflicted. “This is crazy, if I didn't have trust in you, I wouldn't be here. I already told you that I regret doing what I did in the past, I shouldn't ha
Lilian POVWhen I rang the doorbell of that mansion, I felt a little odd doing that, it must have been because I had never needed to ring the doorbell of the house. After all, I was always the lady of this house, but today things have changed, in fact, things have changed since yesterday when I divorced my husband. The divorce had been so sudden that it took me by surprise, Jensen suddenly showed up at home demanding a divorce, and that caught me off guard. He had even packed my suitcase and everything, just waiting for me to get home so he could send me away. That had been humiliating, but I was going to stay strong like I always had. I sighed, adjusting my sweater to ward off the cold outside, and waited a little longer. I had looked in the garage and noticed that the cars were still there, indicating that Jensen was still at home, I had come there with the excuse that I needed to get something personal of mine that he had left out when he hurriedly packed my bags, anxious for me
Lilian POV"Excuse me, lady. I would like to know how much this flower costs,” a smiling five-year-old girl with beautiful light eyes asked me, pointing to a bunch of red flowers in one of the rustic vases on the shelves of the flower shop.I smiled big at her, my heart melting with love. "Aw...! You are such a lovely girl. You don't need to pay, I'll offer you the flower,” I said, taking the bouquet of red roses and giving it to her, who returned the gesture with a big smile.“Thank you, beautiful lady. I'm going to offer these flowers to my Mommy because I love her so much,” she said, still smiling, extending her hand to me, and offering me the roses.“Aw… thank you, my little angel. You are so lovely." I took the flowers and kissed her on the forehead, caressing her light hair. My little daughter was adorable and so kind, sometimes I wish she never grew up so I could always have her so cute and loving for me. She and her two brothers were the triplets I had after my marriage. Afte
Jensen Grimes I was in a business meeting with the person in charge of Rustburg and investors. As my company worked in the construction sector, the investors, together with the mayor, wanted to remodel the city to become a more attractive and powerful economic center, so they hired Grimes companies.“This plan is really brilliant, we are all moving towards progress,” said my assistant Philip, agreeing with the mayor and investors. On the table in the mayor's meeting room were blueprints of buildings and a model showing what the new city would look like.“Have you warned the people of Rustburg that you are going to demolish their little town and build another one in its place, Mr. Mayor?" I asked glumly. With a glass of whiskey in one hand and a cigar in the other, my distant gaze was aimed at the window of the mayor's office.That small town was very precarious, but the air was pure and good to breathe. Instead of the extreme noise pollution of Michigan, I could hear the sounds of na
Lilian POVIn that unlikely moment when he entered the flower shop, it was as if the universe was playing a trick on me. After so long, he was there. Shocked, I backed away, almost falling to the ground. I was so focused and worried about my boys that the last thing I could think about at that moment was him."Lilian…?" He spluttered, looking shocked to see me as well."You…? What are you doing here?" I asked, still not understanding.The boys ran towards me, holding on to my leg. “We brought him for you, Mommy. He's your boyfriend now,” they said, all excited."Oh, he's handsome," Ruby said, also smiling at the man. Oh my God… What was going on…? I didn't know what to do or how to react.“I saw them up on the hill, I thought they were lost, so I brought them back here. They are your children, right?” Jensen asked, his voice sounding calm, although he was still visibly surprised."Yes, yes. They are my kids…” I replied, arranging my hair behind my ear, still in awe of the events. The
