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
"Can you please shut up now? I will figure it out myself, so please leave me alone for a moment!" Rosie retorted over the phone angrily and cut the call in frustration, her nostrils flaring as she inhaled an ample amount of air to battle the chaos inside her mind.Lilian looked at her mother worriedly, wondering what might have transpired to turn this calm individual into a wild being."What happened?" The daughter inquired, seeing her mother squeezing the mobile phone in her hand tightly. Rosie glanced at her daughter, rubbing her temples. At the same time, she sighed deeply, trying to be more composed to behave appropriately in the medical space."Harry's secretary keeps calling. He was talking about some important deal and all... I don't know what to do." She informed."Is it an urgent matter?" Lilian asked, her eyebrows frowning at the topic she hadn't thought of. Who's going to look after their company now? Her mother was a professor at the u
(Flashback)Lilian blinked her eyes in confusion at her sister's remarks. How could she be the reason for their unity? As far as she remembered, she wasn't a friend of Richard or something like that. The query was plastered on the younger's face so evidently.Nia beamed at her as she talked about the recollection, "Remember the time Rich saved you from the bullies?"The younger one nodded, the fresh remembrance of the moment since she started liking this guy in front of her, who was ostensibly her sister's man now. Before Nia could put more words to her statement, Rosie looked at her younger daughter in concern and stupefaction."Bullies? Lily, you didn't tell me anything like that!" The mother exclaimed, setting down her knife and the fork.Lilian sighed, passing a glance at her elder sister in frustration. She had asked Nia to hide this distressing event from their mother, considering not to increase worries in her already stressful life. Their mother was a typical woman of a cautiou
Lilian sauntered into her room, feeling the chamber she missed so much. It was calling her in yearning, wanting the owner to provide the fondness and consideration she used to give. It was a marvellous space that embraced her in her highs and lows. This attic was given her authority after multiple attempts at crying and weeping like a cranky child. The younger girl used to share a room with her elder sister, but growing up, she demanded her own space. The Evans house had no area left to award her, but being the most pampered child of the family, the parents renewed the attic below the roof of the house in a friendly, cosy space. Lilian liked this space; the little vintage theme she demanded was so worthy of comfort.The girl walked towards the window, gently touching the yellow lightning. She had hung it beautifully in her college days. She clicked the button, and the room enlightened with the bravest vintage colour, asking her to hug the bed tightly. Lilian looked out of the window.
"Do you know the password?"Lilian walked back through the chain of her thoughts when Richard's voice travelled through her ear, asking for her presence in the present. She looked at the handsome man sitting on the chair across the table with a demanding face for her answer. Did she tell you that the single loose strand of hair from his well-styled hair which was hanging on his forehead looked so gorgeous on this handsome man? Also, did you notice how heavenly he looked in his chest-tight shirt and not wearing his blazer to show his toned muscles? He was that precious piece of heart she didn't want to show to anyone."It's evansco9323, with the E and N capital." She replied, not diverting her eyes away from the serious man who typed her spoken words on the keyboard of the laptop. That gorgeous guy put on the silver metal framed glasses on his nose bridge as he opened the device he was going to work with. Lilian couldn't blink her eyes at the mesmerizing show and she was the only audi
"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
