Prologue: The Pigeon Falls Hard
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The air gushed through the windows, the curtains dancing and celebrating the beautiful moment. The dim light of the full moon entered the room, enlightening the smooth milky skin of two humans who shared the depths of the ocean, drinking the wine of love slowly and lustfully. The heavy breathing, thumping heart against the ribcage felt like a piece of music playing in the background, becoming rapid every other second. It was a beautiful moment that she awaited for ages.
Lilian bit her lower lip between her teeth, trying to calm her stupid heart going crazy at the moment. Her eyes stared deep into his, the amber collarette of his blue-coloured iris enchanting her from the first time she saw him. This man above her was just so fine. Every single detail of him felt remarkable like one in a million carvings. His sharp nose, silky and slightly long hair, the smooth skin which even an angel would envy, that sexy mole just on his lower lip and finally his ocean-deep eyes... Maybe God had spent ages making this beautiful sculpture.
Lying under him on the giant king-sized bed in his bedroom, Lilian gripped the sheets tightly as she watched him lower down to approximate the remaining distance between them. He stroked her cheek gently like a feather, his attention on those rosy-tinted lips as he lowered more, their lips touching each other. She closed her eyes, her heart beating with an inhuman speed and her chest heaved up and down with deep respirations. His lips were so soft and this man over here smelt terrific. Was she this impatient?
Richard Tucker, her husband was finally giving her the love she was yearning for, reciprocating the love once she thought was one-sided. She had craved him enough.
His cold attitude, rude remarks and rigid personality! She didn't know why she would love this guy so much. She tried to keep her heart in the cage but she couldn't. The pigeon just flew high in the air. She often felt afraid of how hard she would fall one day after his rejection but that was all the past, now he was there, sharing the warmth she wanted.
Lilian pushed her head up a little, pressing her lips against his, wanting to let him know that he had her consent.
"Nia…" He breathed out as he kissed her but the lass felt an incredible chill inside her body. The heart which was screaming so loud a moment ago turned so silent to be worried. Her breath hitched and she opened her eyes. Her pigeon had fallen so hard.
He opened his eyes, realizing that she was not responding to his kiss at all. He saw her eyes, a thin layer of tears coated on her sclera. Her eyes... It spoke everything.
"Lilian... I... I can explain!" He shamelessly said, not apprehending the graveness of the matter. He had called some other woman's name in the peak moments, wishing he would know how that thing hurts.
Lilian gulped her thick saliva, pushing her husband off her with all her might. She gathered herself, getting up from her bed but...
He held her back, gripping her wrist, "Lilian, wait, let me explain!"
She clenched her hands into a fist, turning to look at him with tears falling down her cheek, "It's enough now. I can't bear this anymore. I really can't. Everything between us which never even existed ends now, here at this moment Richard Tucker!"
She flicked her hand from his grip, running barefoot out of his room. He followed her back, calling her name but she didn't care. The burrowing feeling inside her heart was starting to suffocate her. She just ran towards her room, almost stumbling upon her own feet.
Slamming the door in her husband's face, Lilian was too hurt to say or even see his face. She denied his presence or his voice to reach her ears as she locked herself in the bathroom. Sitting under the shower, she let cold water slap her numb body.
All this time, she saw her husband's little gestures changing. Richard didn't leave her on hold, he wasn't that rude, he even gave her the meds when she was sick last week. But you were an idiot Lilian! Such small things didn't mean that he had started liking you. This man never cared for you and he never would.
But still!
Why would he be so heartless? Why did he even give her hope? Why would he play with her poor heart?
God, that hurts a lot. She had been so foolish, literally a big fool. She shouldn't have opened the cage of her heart. No, wait! She shouldn't have fallen for him in the first place.
Lilian cried hysterically with the embracement of the cold water, wishing for a lot of things if they didn't happen. She had loved the wrong man at the wrong times, how was she supposed to go back now? She was married to this heartless man who was trying to show his soft side, giving her false hope but wait, that softness, that love and care in his eyes wasn't for her in the first place. It belonged to some other woman, it belonged to Nia.
Two years had passed since their wedding. She was bound by her parent's words while he had his obligations but one thing for sure, it wasn't a marriage out of love.
After their marriage, Lilian started falling for him even if she knew that she wasn't supposed to. There were some forbidden lines she was crossing, but still, her silly heart skipped a beat. The young innocent and naive woman had started experiencing the softness of the petals, forgetting the thorns pointed at her directly. But somewhere she always hoped that he would reciprocate her magical feelings but in the middle of the chaos, she had forgotten the most important thing.
Richard Tucker, the CEO of the multi-billion company, her lawfully wedded husband was married to the love of his life before she came into his life. She had somewhere forgotten the fact that she was his second wife. That second which always comes after the first!

The newlywed bride was seated on the bed in the centre, all dressed up in the white fluffy princess gown waiting for her groom. The room was extravagant and exotic, the raven theme making it tempting enough to be stuck at the same point for several seconds. Her husband from a few hours back turned up to be excessively obsessed with black and now that she noticed, she had witnessed him in black almost all the juncture. Even his belongings had shades of black! What do we call that? Yes, black beauty! He was an undeclared black beauty.Lilian swayed her feet back and forth, scanning the chamber with her eyes like a street canine searching for food. This was going to be the place where she was going to stay for a long time, maybe her whole life. Who knows?"Why is he taking so much time? Is everything okay?" she wondered, tired of waiting for almost an hour now. Getting up from the bed, the 26-year-old walked towards the window. She brushed the soft silky curtains, her hands dangling wit

Lilian bit her lower lip between her teeth, her hands gripping the fabric of her gown while she was standing in front of the door. It was screaming at her to go away, advising her that it wasn't the wisest choice to be there. She thought a lot. Should she just leave her phone like that and save her life? It was a lot better than standing up against that rude and mean male. But again, she had to have it back sometime or other. Sighing, the young woman held up her hand, tapping the wooden door two times lightly. She was alarmed to apply more pressure, presuming that the human being behind this timber was quite temperamental. The clock's big needle passed one more digit but she was still standing there, debating with herself if she should knock again. With courage, she tapped again and squeezed her hands into each other, the anxiety eating her flesh bit by bit. "One last time!" The words conversed inside her mind as her hand lifted again, her knuckles approximating the premium material

Lilian opened the door. An unfamiliar maid was standing there with an impatient look on her face as she quickly bowed to her madam and addressed the issue. "Madam, the young master is crying so much. Can you please come and try to calm him down?" she said. Revived from the land of fantasies, the young woman just nodded and enacted her way past the maid as she strode towards the anticipated room. The sound of crying Aiden filled the hallway. Lilian felt irresponsible for sleeping despite this chaos. This had never happened in the hospital when she was working there as a nurse though. Was she that much weary? Not more than a few steps far and she noticed a few maids already standing in the doorway. "Excuse me!", she exclaimed and made her way through the populace, her eyes catching the wailing tot of a 2-month-old in the arms of the aged woman. She was the same old lady she had encountered previously, maybe the appointed nursemaid. She was trying to feed the infant against his will
My Billionaire, I Wish I Loved You A Little Less 4: The Morning And The Man
It was a beautiful morning. The sun had just shown his face to the world, asking people to leave their lazy beds and snap off their sweet tooth dreams to face reality. Some were still behind the curtains, not wanting to let the sun's rays pass across their window and disturb one of the most precious moments. Feeling rejected, the sunrays travelled back to their origin and kissed the lonely sky to open its spectrum of beautiful colours. The crimson sky was now looking like an artwork on a canvas to be sold for millions of dollars. The different shades of colour will perhaps give you a complex mixture of nature's beauty, hypnotizing you at the gigantic depth it held in the wide field of its magical craft of blending colours.Across the east of an exquisite mansion, a young lady was sitting on the balcony with an infant on her lap to appreciate the playfulness of the sun and the sky. The baby in her embrace was wrapped in a warm piece of feathery clothing while he rested his back on the
My Billionaire, I Wish I Loved You A Little Less 5 The Wrong Request
Lilian watched her mother-in-law showering Aiden with lots of kisses, cooing and squishing him. She talked to him in some code language and their eyes communicated for some secrets. It was a delightful bond to see and the little guy seemed quite fond of his grandma. While the little one sucked on his scrumptious meal, his eyes watched the diamond sparkling thing around the neck of the elderly lady. It was very captivating to his new soul who still had to discover this petty world."He looks much calmer now. The last time I recall, he wouldn't stop crying no matter what we did," Helena Tucker stated as she smiled with wrinkles forming around her eyes.Dressed up in straight brown pants and a white shirt, she was looking fresh and elegant. She had minimum premium accessories despite the huge stock loading in her bank account and her face was still glowing despite her growing age. Lilian's womanly instincts wondered about the beauty products resulting in this magic. Her mother-in-law was
My Billionaire, I Wish I Loved You A Little Less 6 A little Time With Him
Lilian looked at herself in the mirror. With the white knee-length apparel she wore with her black hair falling off her shoulders, she wondered if she looked presentable to go out with the future heir of Tuckers. A simple and sober look she preferred felt inferior after seeing the gigantic fashionable people at her wedding. The prestigious Tucker clan had high status and it was her responsibility to maintain herself properly as she was now a member of this house. She didn't want people to point at her as a disgraceful daughter-in-law of a multi-billionaire established family. In the large field of roses, a small jasmine felt hard to fit in but it was still trying. "Does Mama look okay, baby?" Lilian asked the 3-month-old lying on the comfy mattress of her bed as she was done getting ready. The baby was dressed in a black romper which had a white lily flower in the right corner at the level of his chest. Somehow the colour suited him as much as his father and the little guy looked fa
My Billionaire, I Wish I Loved You A Little Less 7 The Petal Bloomed
Lilian followed Richard as he entered the pediatric clinic room. Aiden was still relishing being with his father, not leaving the comfy embrace he was cited. The naughty baby teased her about how he could take all the attention of the man she dreamed of without much effort when she was a helpless hard worker aiming for a no signboard. She had walked behind that handsome fella, everybody gaped at but he refused to even skim at her for a mere couple of seconds, dissolving all her yearnings she held unconsciously. She was stupidly wishful to harbour him to check on her if she was still accompanying him and not lost somewhere in a magical way. But to be awakened, he never even once looked back. It was a quick realization of the certitude, Lilian didn't know she craved his attention this densely. Was it just a crush or something more than that? She was puzzled, her brain becoming retarded every time she tried to sort her way out.The hospital procedures were so simple. Richard had filled o
My Billionaire, I Wish I Loved You A Little Less 8 The Past She Wanted To Change
Lilian's finger caressed the baby's soft skin, sleeping peacefully in her lap with his hands curled in a tight fist. Her hands held the human of a few kilograms to safeguard him from each bump the car felt. The wailing that left a scar in her heart still scared her, and she didn't want to intrude on the endearing sleep he attained after lots of drudgery. Her baby adopted a porcelain colour in contrast to his usual warm ivory pale skin, and she still had the dried stains of tears on her cheeks, a flimsy heart attack she suffered when she saw her infant in ache. Is being a mother arduous, or was she having a tough time because she wasn't the biological mother? This baby in her arms was precious; she had promised to devote herself to this tiny soul without a mother. She didn't want him to grow up without a mother and be in despair, where he would sob over for not having a mother. 'Mommy loves you a lot baby.' She said in a subtle whisper and leaned in to kiss his forehead while patting

"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 Billionaire, I Wish I Loved You A Little Less 38 The Drunken Disaster
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
My Billionaire, I Wish I Loved You A Little Less 37 I Love You... So Much
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
My Billionaire, I Wish I Loved You A Little Less 35 The Proximity Once Again
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
My Billionaire, I Wish I Loved You A Little Less 34 One Of The Greatest Sins
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
My Billionaire, I Wish I Loved You A Little Less 33 Hellishly And Heavenly
"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
My Billionaire, I Wish I Loved You A Little Less 32 Vocalisation of Her Feelings
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
My Billionaire, I Wish I Loved You A Little Less 31 His Forever Shadow
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
