Lilian's face flushed with the darkest shade of red when she realised the density of words that left her mouth. Her dark orbs were sealed with Richard's stretched eyes, and she pursued his gaze, looking at her index finger that pointed at her chest area where she was burned earlier. She met his amber stares again, feeling too embarrassed to the farthest point of the galaxy. She lowered her limb, squeezing it to be punished while biting her lower lip in discomfiture."I... I w-will help myself with that." Her tomato-red face declared, shuttering on some simple, effortless words. She wanted to dig her grave and disguise herself somewhere far away from his sharp, penetrating gaze. "Y-yeah, here." Richard handed her the tube hesitantly, the awkwardness between them making the scene more intricate.Lilian found herself getting up in the awkward silence, and Richard said nothing, not even looking at the girl as he stared somewhere aimlessly. Her feet started treading to exit the room robot
(Flashback)"Girls, I think I warned you about this. You know that I can suspend you, right?" A boy stood there firmly, his hands folded on his chest, looking at the group where Lilian was stuck. He was wearing a black T-shirt and wore a grey shirt on it. His ripped black jeans added beauty to his sharp features, especially his amber eyes that stood prominently in his black attire. According to what the fresher had learned in this month's college journey, this handsome-looking boy was named Richard Tucker, and he was the student council president. She had also heard that he came from a very well-off family and was the most popular guy in the entire college since his junior-ship, the crush of almost every other girl."We were just talking. She is one of us." The leader of the bullies asserted, walking to the front towards the senior guy. Lilian looked at Richard, seeing him clicking his tongue and a sarcastic chuckle leaving his mouth before he articulated, "Oh really? Then let me as
Lilian stared at herself in the mirror, a white flowery tank top and brown casual jeans hugging her pale, milky skin. She reviewed herself up and down, but still, she couldn't claim in her mind that she had the worthy appearance to walk by Richard's side. Yes, that busy, extravagant, intimidating and heavenly handsome man was supposed to tag her along. But no matter how many dresses she tried, it wasn't enough to match his standards to be a suitable couple. The colours she adored differed from what Richard preferred, making her wonder if there were even the slightest possibilities of reaching each other in this broad diversification they represented. Even their likings, the things they preferred, the things they enjoyed and the group of people they shared in part of their life were totally contrasting; even the drinks they preferred were different. How did she even fall for a man so much more distinct than her?Finally giving up on messing her wardrobe more than it already was, the gi
The car touched the road, with the final destination being the biggest mall in the city to ensure a mystery for the couple who had their hearts thousands of miles apart. Lilian sat in the backseat beside the man she had crushed over for ages, holding Aiden on her lap as she fed him milk from the bottle after this little monster seemed to be hungry out of nowhere. The mother watched her baby suckling hungrily, fondly looking at his wide-open eyes that stared at the roof of the car for some time and then at his mother again, playing the circle of glances as if he was trying to show her something. Maybe this little guy over here was trying to tell her that they could open the roof in this high-status vehicle, which she was completely unaware of. After drinking some of his feed, the baby refused to take the nipple of the bottle inside his mouth, telling his mother that he had had enough. Smiling, Lilian closed the bottle cover and returned it to her handbag. She wiped his mouth, taking a
Lilian looked at a similar t-shirt. It was the duplicate of her chosen one but it was more like a mirror image of what she had selected. The lassie looked up at the owner of the other piece, meeting the amber eyes, which widened a little more than usual. She glanced back at her chosen T-shirt and then at Richard, the coincidences tingling her brain in amazement. It's funny how it was so similar yet different, and she couldn't break the eye contact they were maintaining for no reason.The couple stared deep into each other's eyes, having similar clothes in their hands and their faces flustered in charisma, awakening something new. That lovely sight caught one grandma's attention as she was passing by. The duo looked beautiful, and with the baby fast asleep in his father's arms, it caught her special attention at the fact that they didn't keep the infant in the stroller like young people these days do. She smiled at them warmly."You guys are cute." She remarked, and Lilian's face flush
(Flashback)"Stop kidding.". Lilian spoke out with her eyes wide open like an owl. Amidst a boring, life-energy-sucking event, they offered her a delicious cookie to enlighten her soul. They must be joking with her, right?"No, I am serious. Let's sneak out." Nia replied with a damn serious face."But what if somebody found out that we are missing?" Lilian questioned. Wouldn't people quickly notice that they were missing in the party hosted by their family, primarily when it was hosted for her sister and her husband? Though Rosie Evans was a calm and soft woman most of the time, if something triggered that woman, she could even be the boss of Hulk you shake in fear in front of. Lilian didn't want to jeopardize her life when her sister didn't live in the Evans household to share the wrath or protect her from the hazardous attacks."We will just say I wasn't feeling well, so we left." Her elder sister suggested, and realization came into her tiny brain. She didn't think of it all this
"I will be there in 5 minutes, Mom," Lilian replied, trying to sound brave and calm, the opposite of what she was battling with the storm inside. She cut the call with her shaky hands and looked at the screen with her blurred vision. Her lower lip trembled in threat of tears; she glanced around the room haphazardly to determine what to do. Her lungs felt short of breath as she started hyperventilating, and her legs were too feeble to stand. There wasn't any clarity in her foggy mind to think straight.Aiden was asleep on her mattress, where she had tucked him in, but there was a high probability of him waking up. Her mother was alone in the hospital, and she needed to get there the fastest way possible. But how was she supposed to go? Who was going to take care of Aiden? What would her mother's condition be at this moment? All alone, without anyone by her side! But all of the above, was her father going to be okay?"What happened?" She heard a faint voice in the background, but her br
Doctor Brown sighed as he looked at Rosie Evans. The lady was already a mess, looking so miserable with her messy hair and swollen eyes. She was held bravely by her daughter whose eyes tinted the fear she was pretending to hide."I told you to be careful the last time I visited Mrs Evans. It's dangerous to skip meds, particularly when he was unwell just a few days ago." Dr. Brown spoke out. He might look rude to any third individual, but the doctor was more like a family friend. He was a close friend of her father and had been treating Harry for many years now. He was often invited to their family functions, and he did the same, earning enough rights to speak such words."But is my dad okay?" Asked Lilain, impatient about what she should be hearing in the first place instead of some nagging.The man in a white coat glanced at the young lady, a subtle smile forming on his face at the courageous role she played despite being the youngest in the family, "Well, he is out of danger now, bu
"RICHARD TUCKER! COME OUT NOW!" Lilian climbed up into her husband's arms as she screamed through the button of her belly, disbalancing him a little. His right knee flexed at the sudden attack of the disaster but he managed his posture before he descended from top to the floor miserably. All the multitudes in the surroundings paid attention to the couple who looked relatively more fun than anything else at the moment. It was the perfect art to record this moment to gain more likes and followers on social media. Not forgetting to mention that the businessmen also decided to engage themselves so that most of the suited men exited the hall, just to look at the ongoing scene, especially when the name of one of the biggest billionaires was yelled out loud publically."Fuck," Richard uttered with profanity, gripping the woman in his arms tightly and stepping down the stairs as he decided to walk towards the garage instead of waiting there for misery."Hey, where are you taking me? My husb
Richard walked up to the empty table of the two and eyed the familiar satchel kept on it without anybody's claim. This green-suited high hegemonic person was finally left alone by the people and the clock was intending to hit the time of midnight soon. Some people had already started leaving these expensive surroundings and the man of Tucker's house too, decided to wrap up and head home at once.He looked around the region, trying to locate his partner but failed to find a similar personality in the proximity. The man glanced back at the white leather, picking it up as he wondered about the location of the woman he had brought along."Was she perhaps in the washroom?" Richard thought and pivoted his way towards the area of refreshment. With his steps leading towards the desired area, the high-status man passed on a professional smile to the populace who greeted him as he walked by. As he sauntered through the empty hallway towards the restroom, the memories of a few hours back starte
Lilian watched Richard get up from his seat and adjust his suit before he looked back at her for approval. She looked around at the people who seemed to be so determined to have this couple on the floor to entertain them. Never in her life interested in dancing with some other guy, she was uncertain to distinguish between the hell and heaven of this opportunity.The lady wrapped beautifully in a silky white garment forwarded her gaze to the handsome male standing in front of her with his extended hand. She looked into his amber eyes deeply, expressing her nervousness and anxiety to the fellow. The masses of the surroundings seemed to be shelving for her actions but a little nod from her husband pushed a cup of courage into the lass as she took his hand and got up from the chair as well. Lilian could suppose the lookout of every regard as she sauntered to the beautifully embellished dance floor. It felt like walking on the foam of a cloud, slowly and gently. She glimpsed at the man be
Lilian linked her arm with the flexed elbow of the gentleman beside her and walked at his pace in high heels. Her fingers gently grasped the rich fabric of his blazer, keeping her hand upon him like a publicly acclaimed couple. The proximity between the two was such a rare moment; it was only the second time she had locked her arms with him other than the beat of their wedding.The duo entered the significant glamorous hall. Some people greeted their presence while they welcomed themselves in the arena and the girl's eyes skimmed through the gigantic extravagance of the surroundings. The lights were enlightening enough to brighten up even more than the rays of the sunlight and all the people were dressed in high-quality attires to fit the high class of the society. Some waiters and waitresses were walking elegantly while passing on drinks and platters to the wealthy people and a soft soothing music played in the background.Richard's presence being a powerful entity, a few people walk
Lilian's facial muscles curved into a smile when she saw her man gleaming with the loveliest smile ever. He looked like a mesmerizing collection of diamonds to keep staring at for thousands of years, especially his stares which had squinted a little in the tremendous portion of contentment. She averted her eyes to the miniature version of him who appeared to be struggling with one of the hands stuck under his tummy. Chuckling, Lilian turned Aiden back to his previous position and she kissed his cheeks once before getting up from the mattress. She noticed that Richard was also done with his Filmfare and had shoved his mobile in his pocket to pick up the baby on his lap."I am glad I was here," Richard uttered casually and the girl blinked her eyes twice.Did he just talk to her? That's something… unthinkable. After Nia's death, Richard had never chatted to her nicely. Either intimidatingly or necessarily, he kept his words to a minimum and always showed off his bitterness but recentl
Lilian clenched her hand around the tuft of the hair of the man who nibbled on the skin of her neck, heating her body to the level of insanity. She had closed her eyes, calling out his name with the sinful noises leaving her mouth. Trapped in the scene, she was the long-waiting heroine of the movie, finally mating with her hero as per God's wish. In the intimate moment where she dived into her most hidden fantasy, Lilian breathed in deep at the closeness they shared. Her other hand encircled her man's torso as she touched the thin fabric of his shirt. The next instant when she was about to clench on that piece of his clothing, the man above her disappeared into the thin air. The girl opened her eyes, sitting on the bed all alone. Richard was nowhere to be found in the surroundings but her attention was diverted to the shadow in one of the corners of the room. She looked up at the bathroom door, squinting her eyes to scrutinize the person who stared at her intently."How could you do
"Richard…" Lilian called out as she compiled courage. The moment felt so ethereal and accessible, one of that millionth comet which was willing to inaugurate a new bond of existence between the couple.Everything moved in slow motion, the girl watched Richard's eyes directing at her as he paused with his meal. His amber eyes were glistening with the light of the brightest star of the galaxy and for the first time, the anticipating words were ready to coat her tongue for their departure. Lilian's mouth opened up, the two vocal cords closing the distance between them as the production of sound initiated."I…"Before she could pull out more words, a knock on the door distracted the versatile moment. Lilian's eyes widened a bit, realizing the thickness of the dialogue. How could she even think of confessing when the bond of this marriage itself demanded the strong denial of any romantic feelings? What were you doing, Lily?The sound of the taps on the door intrigued the surroundings for
The girl stared at Adam's apple moving up and down with the deglutition of each spoonful of porridge. It threatened her cells to reach the threshold at the intent of action potential. Her husband looked hellishly handsome, and Lilian thanked God for the thousandth time to see him in a piece of cloth. To her mercy, he wasn't flashing his shiny body anymore or else, it would have been another disaster.Outside the window, the sun was already setting down and exiting the day of sunshine. Lilian had successfully managed to convince the sick person to have at least a bowl of porridge and to take a rest from the heavy loads of work. At least for the end of this day! Of Course, it wasn't easy to talk but under the threat of his passionate mother, the task had evolved smoothly. Currently, the lady was sitting in the raven-themed room of the estimated personality where her presence was strongly denied. Though her heart still palpitated while crossing the boundary of the door, the calm and non
Lilian felt something weird yet warm crippling up against her skin, waking her up from her light slumber. As her orbs opened up, the direct contact of her eyes with the amber pearls left her her heart struck. In the window of her retina, she could see his prominent facial features which stood across his noteworthy ocean-deep eyes. The warmness in his gaze reminded her of one incident.(Flashback)Trapped in between the two large hands, the girl poured a river of tears at the most fearful incident of her life. Going to the alley in the backside of college when someone sent the anonymous cheat was the worst decision of her life ever. She had fallen for people's traps so easily, bringing the danger upon herself like an invitation to the party.Now stuck at the point of humiliation, Lilian prayed for God to send a lifesaver to the area where even dogs were denied to wander. With the boy in front of her so bulky, all her defences had fallen to his gigantic strength. She was now going to be
