Lilian POV “Since the rain is pouring outside, you can stay here tonight,” I said to Jensen with a smile, looking out the window at the rain that was still falling outside. I was just saying, since clearly with this bad weather outside, I would let him sleep in my apartment. He chuckled too. “That’s so sweet of you. Thank you very much, Lilie,” he said, sipping his tea. “You’re welcome. Please make yourself comfortable,” I said, and then stood up. “And if you don’t mind, you’re going to sleep on the couch, okay?” My house wasn't big, and it only had the triplets' room and mine. There was another room that I was thinking about getting for Ruby when she was a little older and wanted to have a place of her own, but for now the room had become an attic or something, which I used to store old things. “I sleep wherever you want me to sleep, Lilie,” he replied with a simple smile. Would he sleep wherever I wanted him to sleep? He may not have sounded malicious or anything, and the e
Lilian POV Jensen and I were exchanging caresses and sharing the air we breathed. My lips even hurt because of the desperate kiss we gave each other, I still felt in a complete frenzy, that kiss hadn't been enough. “I missed this so much, damn…” he stammered. His strong arms around my waist, him hugging me like he never wanted to let go. It was simply so good to have him here with me, it was the beginning of my entire life being summed up in this, in this contact I had with him, in this crazy and desperate moment. “I missed you so much too, Jensen…” I shuddered, feeling my body completely at the mercy of his touches. “I don't know anything about my life anymore, I just want you, Lilian…” he whispered to me as if it were a secret or as if it were a sin to say that or wish for something like that. I sighed heavily, feeling so involved in him at that moment. I stood up desperately, holding his hand. “Please come with me.” I ask as if I were begging. “Yes, of course I will,” he
Lilian POV The next morning, when I woke up, I almost jumped out of bed when I saw Jensen Grimes lying in my bed. I was wide-eyed at the image of him sleeping there all cute in my bed, and for a moment I was so confused, so shocked, not knowing what to interpret with that, but my confusion ended quickly when I remembered everything that had happened the night before, and it hit me like a big shock wave. I remembered him throwing pebbles at my window in the middle of the rain, getting wet. Likewise, I remembered the two of us talking deeply, and then there were kisses and more kisses… I remembered the two of us drooling on the bed, and then things got dark. Good heavens, had I been late with Jensen Grimes? How crazy! “Oh, my God in heaven. Please let this be a lie…” I said, covering my mouth with my hands as I looked at him there on my bed, but Jensen woke up and looked at me. “You're awake, darling,” he said lazily with that morning voice of his that was drawling and then attra
Lilian POV It's a surprise for me, Jensen stayed there at my house that entire Sunday. He actually managed to make something for the kids to eat, which really surprised me because I didn't know he had evolved that way, and then he stayed with the kids late with me, making up for yesterday when he had ended up leaving from the children after having promised them that he would stay with them all day. The triplets, being children, had totally forgotten what had happened the day before, and today they were interacting with him with the greatest lightness and the greatest happiness. That was the advantage of being a child; you had this ability to forget things that didn't please you very easily. “Who wants some lemonade?” I asked, approaching them with a tray with a pitcher of lemonade and glasses for all of them. Jensen and the children were on the porch of the house, playing cards and just having fun. The day was cool and somewhat sunny, despite the smog caused by yesterday's rain.
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
Lilian POV He 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 fac
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
Lilian POV Jensen 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 shou
Months had passed since the moment Lilian and Jensen had united forever, and the mansion, already full of life and joy, now seemed to be living a new chapter of great happiness. The afternoon was calm, but the atmosphere inside the house was buzzing with anticipation. Lilian, in labor, was preparing to give birth to the couple's fourth child, and emotions were running high.Jensen, visibly nervous, paced back and forth. His feet tapped the floor with a constant rhythm, a reflection of the whirlwind of thoughts that wouldn't settle. He paused briefly, looking at the door of the room where his wife was being assisted by the nurses. His mind couldn't find peace, thoughts of what might happen spread, even though he knew Lilian was in good hands."You need to calm down," said Philip, the couple's friend, who stood by Jensen's side. He knew how anxious Jensen could be, and his calm had always been a pillar of support. "She's strong. And you'll be an incredible father, no matter what happens
Lilian's POVI returned to the garden where Jensen was waiting for me, his attentive gaze fixing on me as soon as he saw me. He had a way of noticing when something wasn't right, and this time was no different. He had gone to check on the children, but now, he was there, as if he knew I needed him more than ever."Hey, love," he said softly, kneeling beside me. "Is everything okay?"I looked at him, and the answer just escaped me. "I'm so happy for her, but at the same time so sad. She was a part of all this, of us, and now... she's leaving..."Jensen looked at me with silent understanding, as if he knew exactly what I was feeling. He extended his hand, and with a serene smile, he pulled me close, wrapping me in his embrace. "I understand, Lilian. I felt it too, and I know how important she was. But life goes on, and people need to take new steps. And you... you've always been wonderful with her."I gave a faint smile, the weight of his words enveloping me in a comforting way. I knew
Lilian POVThe night was calm and pleasant, with a gentle breeze caressing my face and soft lights illuminating the garden. I was there, sitting with Jensen, enjoying the tranquil moments of the party. The laughter of children and the soft sounds of celebration still echoed through the house, but for a moment, the world seemed to shrink to just the two of us.Jensen held my hand and smiled. "It was a perfect day, wasn't it?""Yes, it really was," I replied, resting my head on his shoulder. "I feel so happy that we managed to pull all this off."We sat in silence for a few minutes, simply enjoying each other's company. But then, a familiar figure approached from the garden. It was Sadie, with that wide smile that always accompanied her."Hi, Lilian! Mr. Grimes! Congratulations, really, your wedding was wonderful," she said, smiling sincerely as she approached. "Everything was impeccable, and the kids were so happy. I've never seen them so excited.""Thank you, Sadie. I'm very glad you
Lilian POVIt was an ordinary day. The sun came through the windows of the house, illuminating the room with a golden light. Children were playing in the yard, their laughter filling the air. I was in the kitchen, tidying up some things, while Jensen seemed mysteriously busy somewhere in the house. "You're very quiet today, Jensen. What are you up to?" I asked, half joking, while washing some fruit. "Me? No big deal." He replied, appearing in the doorway with a mischievous smile. "You're terrible at keeping secrets." I laughed, drying my hands. He just shrugged. "Trust me. Just come with me." "Now?" I asked, surprised. "Now." He took my hand and led me to the conservatory. When we entered, I noticed the atmosphere was different. Flowers were scattered across the floor, forming a path to a small table where there was a velvet box. My heart started to race. "Jensen..." I started, but he interrupted me with a tender look. "Let me speak first, Lilian." He took a deep bre
Lilian POVDays after everything that happened, we were back in Richmond, at our home. Or rather, in Jensen's mansion. I knew things would never be the same, but I also knew we no longer had to carry the weight of Kate or any other threat. She was tried and sentenced to many years in prison for killing Finn and screwing Jensen and me. It was a relief, but not a cure for everything we went through.The children and I, to my surprise, were more excited than I imagined, despite all the turbulence we had experienced, we returned to the mansion, because it was what felt right. I didn't want to be away from Jensen again. He was always in my thoughts, and more than ever, I knew that our family needed to be together.When we arrived at the mansion, Jensen was there, waiting at the door, with that comforting smile. He seemed more relaxed now, maybe because we'd finally gotten through the storm. When he saw us, his face lit up, and he stepped forward, arms open to welcome the children."Welcome
Sadie POVI woke up to the sound of my alarm clock, but to be honest, I had literally barely slept. I spent the night tossing and turning, thinking about Micah. How was he? Was he alone? Had he eaten anything? I need to see you.I looked at the clock. It was still six in the morning, but I couldn't stay in bed. With a heavy sigh, I got out of bed and went straight to the bathroom. I washed my face, trying to shake off the tiredness that seemed to be clinging to me, and got dressed quickly. Nothing too elaborate: jeans, a t-shirt, and a sweater. In the kitchen, I made some toast and a cup of coffee. My stomach was upset, but I knew I needed something to eat to get through the day. As I nibbled on the toast, my mind continued to wander. The image of Micah that night never left my head, his expression of pain mixed with determination. Micah had done a lot of stupid things, but he had also put himself at risk to protect us. It didn't erase his mistakes, but it was a gesture I couldn'
Jensen POVThe hotel where we stayed seemed like a perfect refuge, a relief after so much tension. Me, Lilian, Sadie, and the children needed this rest. Ruby, Rory, and Ryan were visibly shaken, and after all the tension, it was difficult for them to relax. The shadows of fear were still present in his eyes, and it made my heart sink. I knew I couldn't let fear rule their night.After they had a quick snack and settled in, we managed to get them into bed, although it wasn't easy. They were scared, not only of the situation with Finn, but also of everything they had experienced. The simple act of sleeping seemed to frighten them, as if their dreams might be interrupted by something darker.Lilian and I stayed beside them for a while, speaking quietly, trying to make the environment as comfortable and calm as possible. When Ruby finally closed her eyes, I covered her with the sheet, kissing her forehead softly. Rory and Ryan were calmer, but they still exchanged nervous glances. I sat o
Kate POVWhen I found out Finn was in New York, a fire came over me. Every cell in my body was on fire. He didn't deserve to live in peace after what he had done. Not only because he ran away with Lilian, but because he stole everything I had. Every penny I had earned, he took. But I knew. I knew this had to end. I would find him. And when he did, he would pay.Anger wouldn't let me rest. I followed him, without hesitation, for every step he took. Like a shadow, I entered the city, my hands shaking with anger and anxiety. I didn't know exactly what I would do when I found him, but I knew it would be something he would never forget.That night, fate gave me an opportunity. I saw Finn's car approaching the deserted road, its headlights illuminating the darkness of the night. I stopped my car halfway and got out, the cold wind hitting my face. It didn't matter. I was ready.Finn stopped the car when he saw me. He came down, looking surprised. He was probably thinking it wouldn't be that
Finn Sawyer The sound of sirens echoed in the air, getting closer and closer, like a relentless predator in search of its prey. I pressed hard on the accelerator, feeling the vibration of the engine roar beneath me as the speedometer rose. The car rocked slightly on the uneven asphalt road, but I couldn't waste time."Finn Sawyer! Stop the vehicle immediately!" The metallic voice came through the speaker of the police car behind me."Dream on," I muttered under my breath, turning the steering wheel sharply to enter a dirt road. Rocks flew against the windshield, but I didn't slow down."Finn, Sawyer, this is your last chance! Park your car now, or we will use lethal force!"I laughed, but there was no humor in it. Did they think a warning like that would make me stop? All I knew was that getting caught was not an option.Police car lights shined brightly in the rearview mirror. "Come on, come on..." I murmured, my eyes searching for an opening, an exit.The road narrowed further, be
