View MoreLily’s POV“What’s wrong with you?” I asked angrily after I pushed Rogue against the wall. I dragged him to the warehouse where no one would see us or listen to us. I don’t know what his deal is but I really hate it when he interferes with my life. He just won’t stop manipulating me, huh?He clenched his jaws and stared at me darkly, “I should be the one asking you that, Lily. What’s wrong with you? Why are you talking to that man?”I shook my head in disbelief, “Not because you’re my husband doesn’t mean you can completely control me. I am not your possession, Rogue. I will talk to anyone I want to talk to and you have no say in that.”His eyes sharpened even more, “Why do you even want to talk to him, huh? Are you interested in him?”“Can you hear yourself?” I asked angrily. “You unjustly fired the person and now you’re thinking ill of our friendship? Josh, I don’t have the time to be interested i
Lily’s POV“Carry the table inside.”I gritted my teeth and pressed my palm against the table. I turned to Rogue and shot him sharp gazes. He looked at me with furrowed eyebrows when I stopped the two male employees he called to transfer the table inside his office.“What? You want a new table?”I hissed, “I want my previous position, Rogue! I don’t want to be your secretary!”I could feel the employees around watching us. They seemed curious, shocked and scared especially when Rogue’s expression darkened.He clenched his jaws, “I fired my secretary, Lily!”“It’s your problem! I want my previous position not this.”He took a deep breath as if he’s restraining his anger. I was glaring at him while he’s looking at me with a cold expression on his face. His lips were in a thin line and I can feel the tension that’s making the employees around us stiff.If he really wants us to get along, he should know that manipulating me would only intensify the cold war between us.He clenched his jaw
Lily’s POV I was drinking coffee while massaging my aching head when someone entered my kitchen. Obviously, it’s Rogue. I should really change my passcode so he won’t be able to come here whenever he pleases. “Let’s go to work together.”I didn’t react to what he said. I continued sipping on my coffee while staring at the island counter. Right! I have to work today and surely, everyone in the company heard about what happened at the party. “Lily, I said let’s go to work together.”I lazily lifted my arm. “No need to repeat. I heard it the first time. It’s just that…I’m not interested.”He clenched his jaws as he stared into my eyes. “I’ll appoint you as my secretary.”That’s when I lifted my face and looked at him. “What did you say?”“I think you heard me the first time, Lily.”I gritted my teeth and glared at him. “I will resign if you do that!”He tilted his head and took his phone out. He called someone and said… “Hello? You’re fired.”My eyes widened. “Who’s that?”He smirked.
Lily’s POVI angrily sat on the stool of the bar and ordered a drink. The female bartender smiled after pushing the glass of drink in front of me., “Men problems?”I scoffed, “A devil problem, I’d say.”She chuckled, “I hope he’s better than the British devil in Armani Lucifer Morningstar or the expensive drink won’t be worth it.”I sighed and my forehead creased when I saw Rogue entering the club. Oh shit! Did he just follow me after I walked out of the party? I still can’t believe what he did, alright? He introduced me to everyone as his fiancee. A fiancee? Really? Not that I want him to introduce me as his wife. It’s just that his confession will surely change my life—oh especially in the office.“Speak of the devil,” I whispered as I stared at the man who immediately spotted me among the crowd.The female bartender chuckled which made me look at her. She shrugged her shoulders and grinned, “Hotter. The drink is on the house, babe.”My forehead creased as she turned her back and le
Lilys’ POV The slit of the dress that Rogue sent was too high. It’s almost showing my groin. I rolled my eyes and shook my head realizing I don’t have another dress to wear so I have to put up with this. Sighing, I put some light makeup on and curled my hair. I grabbed my pouch and looked at the door when I heard it open and closed. I’m inside my room so I couldn’t see who opened the main door but there’s only one person who knows my passcode. “Lily.” Right! The impatient Rogue Harrison couldn’t wait for anyone. Especially me. I lazily opened the door and caught him looking at his wristwatch. My lips parted after I saw him in a black suit. He looked dashing now that his hair was fixed properly. I looked at him from head to foot and when I looked at his face again, I realized he’s also checking me out. His lips parted when his eyes landed on my face after roaming his eyes all over my body. He cleared his throat as his eyes burned with desire. “Are we late? Let’s go,” I said as I a
Lily's POVI was left with no choice but to step out of the car. Josh already saw Rogue and he looked so shocked as he stared at my face. His lips were parted and totally speechless."Uh…""T-That's…" he trailed off.I scratched the back of my neck and squeezed my eyes closed. "Uh…Josh, he's my… I mean…"I groaned and glanced at Rogue when he rolled down the window and leaned on the driver seat to look at us."What's taking you so long?"This asshole!I looked at Josh again. "He's my step cousin, Josh."I don't know why I said that but I don't have plans to take it back. I saw the shock on Josh's face and Rogue's jaw dropped."Bye, Josh. We'll leave now."I immediately slipped myself inside the driver seat again. Josh was still so shocked that he didn't have the chance to stop me. I drove the car as I glanced at Rogue. His jaws were constantly clenching and his eyes were darkly staring at me."You wanna play hide and seek, huh?" He paused and laughed. "Really? Step cousin? I didn't kn
Lily’s POV“You don’t have plans to go back to your unit?” I asked Rogue while he’s sitting at the edge of my bed. He was puffing a cigarette while I’m sitting on the bed, resting my back against the headboard.He glanced at me and smirked. “Are you really sending me out after I made you feel good?”I rolled my eyes. “Don’t tell me you want to cuddle after sex? You’re not the type to cuddle.”He chuckled. “So do you want us to cuddle? I can fulfill your simple request, Lily.”I grimaced and tightened the grip on the blanket covering my body. I got off the bed and walked in front of him to go to the bathroom when Rogue grabbed my waist and I fell on his legs.“Rogue, what the hell?”I felt shivers down my spine when he licked my earlobe and whispered. “I want you again.”“Stop it! I’m tired.”He chuckled in my ear and hugged my waist. “Let’s start over again.”I froze because of what he said. Confusion filled me and my lips trembled. I can feel my heart racing. I don’t know why he’s sa
Lily's POVMy forehead creased when I saw Josh outside of the Harrison building after I got out of work. He immediately flashed a sweet smile after seeing me. He walked towards me and when he stopped, he handed me three pieces of red rose. My lips parted as I lifted my eyes to look at him.“Josh…”“I want to formally court you, Lily. I know you’re not ready but I’m willing to wait.”I swallowed hard and slowly shook my head. I want to politely turn him down and I will definitely do it now. I was about to speak when I heard gasps behind me.My eyes widened when I saw my workmates from my previous department. All of them are looking at me with either disgust and hatred. Shit!“Look who’s here! A trash and a garbage collector. How’s life after being fired, Josh? And you, Lily. How does it feel to have boys flocking around you? You’re really collecting boys, huh?”“What a slut! First, the president and then now Josh…”“Shut up! Will you stop spreading rumors about Lily? You don’t know her
Lily's POVShould I be happy that I'm finally able to order him around? I don't know. This man is cunning. He must be planning something as I try to tame him. This beast will never be a slave to anyone. He's wild and deceitful. He could have anyone if he's just after sex. Right! He's after something I couldn't find out."Lily, aren't you going to eat lunch?"I lifted my face and smiled. "I'm hungry.""C'mon!"I lifted my lunch box and put it on my table. "I have my lunch box.""So, you'll stay here for lunch?""Yup!"I waved my hand at them as they left. I opened my lunch box and was about to eat when I saw someone entering the office.My forehead creased as he walked towards me. A devilish smirk was plastered on his lips as he neared me.Fck! What is he doing here? He shouldn't be here. People might see him!I pulled myself up. "What are you doing—"My eyes widened in fraction when he welcomed me with a deep kiss. He claimed my lips sensually, pushing his tongue to invade my mouth.I
