Lily's POVRumors about me and Rage spread like a wildfire since that night. People are now calling me mistress, attention seeker, relationship wrecker and all. I don't mind, though. I don't care anymore. The moment Rage disrespected my femininity, I decided to forget about my feelings for him. It won't be easy, but I'm not stupid to chase some guy. Staying in this hellish marriage is enough."Are you really okay? Lily, he dragged you. I saw it with my own eyes!"I shook my head and lifted my face to Louie. "I'm fine, Louie. Just don't tell mom.""I can promise you that but gossip has wings. It will eventually reach your mom in no time. And your mom is friends with Rage's parents, Lily."I heaved a sigh. "I don't want her to worry.""You can't take that from us, Lily. We're your family and your stupid husband is hurting you."I stared at her. "You know the reason why I can't leave him,
Lily's POV"Lily!"I saw Josh standing in front of me with his backpack. He waved at me while smiling, so I smiled and waved back.He jogged towards me. I won't deny the fact that this man is handsome. He's also kind. If I'm not married, I'd probably ask him out myself. I chuckled at that thought."You're going home?"I nodded and smiled. "Yeah. How 'bout you?"He scratched the back of his head. "Well, I'm hungry. So, I will eat before I go home."I nodded. I feel like he wants to say something more, so I waited."Uh… Can I invite you to dinner?"I stared at him. He's really inviting me? What's gotten into him?"I know it sounds so fast and—""Sure." I said and smiled.His eyes widened. "Really?"I chuckled. "It's your treat, right?"He smirked. "Yeah. Shall we…"I nodded
Lily's POV"Don't you fcking dare cheat on me, Lily!"I laughed sarcastically. "What? I can't cheat but you can? Did this hit your pride, Rogue? You deserve it!"He grabbed my wrist and pushed me against the wall. His sharp eyes glared at me and as if seeping through my soul. His jaws were constantly clenching and his expression was becoming darker and darker.The corner of my lips rose. "What will you do? You'll hurt me? You know you can't scare me again, Rogue. I've seen the worse of you and I'm already used to it."He gritted his teeth. "You really are a bitch, huh? After seducing my father, you're now with another man."I smirked. "Do you want me to seduce you too? Too bad, I don't like your personality."I opened the door and looked at him coldly. "Leave. Leave me alone, Rogue. I already have enough problems."His blazing eyes raked my whole one last time before he stormed out of my unit. He even slammed the door of his unit.I squeezed my eyes closed and locked the door. I caress
Lily's POVMy whole face was red because of so much anger when I went back to my department. Rogue's arrogant and disgusting words were constantly playing in my head like a freaking broken CD. It's ringing in my head and I feel so fcking small and humiliated.My feelings for him are slowly fading and hate is replacing it.What? Give him a head? Is he really insane? Does he think I'm stupid to please him like that? He's really dirty. He's really sick!"Why are you so red?"I lifted my face only to see my senior looking down at me. I swallowed hard and shook my head.He shot an eyebrow up and fixed his specs before he went to his table. He's constantly glancing at me with suspicion in his eyes but I ignored him to avoid misunderstandings. I spent my remaining hours at work doing my job. It's exhausting but at least it made me occupied that I completely forgot about Rogue's kiss.I didn't even realize I'm in the same elevator with him in the condominium tower. I gasped upon realizing it
Lily’s POVI can’t think rationally. All that’s clouding my mind was his lips on mine. Kissing, biting and teasing my lips. I couldn’t say no. My own body has completely betrayed me. I can’t deny it anymore. I want him. I want him so much and it’s killing me to know that he’s doing this because of lust. We’re only doing this because of lust but why does it feel so right?“Ohh!” A lewd moan escaped my eyes as Rogue’s big and warm palm caressed my bosom underneath my shirt.I bit my bottom lip and arched my back. My hands searched for his shoulders and I scratched his skin.He was doing something in my body that I couldn't resist. The way he kisses me feels so different. It's as if he's mine but who am I kidding. I am fully aware that he's owned by another woman.I don't know how long we've been kissing. I just found myself on my bed while he's on top of me, worshiping my body.His fingers were wandering all over my body and it's sending shivers and tickles."Rogue!" I screamed his nam
Lily's POV"Good job, Lily."I gave my colleague a faint smile. Although I like the team's treatment, the undeniable exhausting work in my new department is draining me.It's been a week since my last encounter with Rogue. I heard he fled to another country that very day and he's still not back. I even heard he's with Mari who visited her parents abroad.I tasted bitterness as I remembered our last conversation. I was worried that day because I was sure he'd get back at me for insulting him. But…he left. Strangely, I somehow feel disappointed.Who wouldn't? After he gets my innocence, he'll fly to another country with his woman. What a total psycho!I wiped the sweat in my forehead the same time I saw Josh approaching me. I'm in the canteen. I went straight here after I checked the deliveries of the new products."Lily, are you okay?" Josh asked worriedly as he sat on the chair in front of me.I smiled and nodded at him. "Yeah. My new department is a busy place."His eyes softened. "I
Lily’s POVI entered the powder room and washed my face. My forehead creased when a male cleaner entered and his eyes landed at me."Sorry, miss."I shook my head. "It's okay. You can proceed with cleaning."He nodded and smiled while I went back to washing my face. I was slightly bending forward to wash my face properly. After that, I grabbed some tissue in my bag and wiped my face.My lips parted when through the mirror, I saw the janitor behind me, shamelessly looking at my butt.I quickly faced him with anger. "What are you doing?"He flinched and immediately turned his back. He started mopping the floor without even apologizing to me.I gritted my teeth and quickly fixed myself. I marched out of the powder room, not even bothering putting lipstick on.What a pervert!Shaking my head, I went back to my table."You okay, Lily? You look upset?" A colleague asked me. She was looking at the file on her table. She looked so busy.I smiled at her and shook my head. "Don't mind me."She
Lily's POV"Strip."My eyes widened at his words. What the fck?A devilish smirk curved in his lips as he moved even closer. I flinched when his fingers reached my face and caressed my jaws. He moved his lips closer to my ear. My breathing stopped when he became so near. I could hear his heavy breaths. I could smell his addicting scent."You'll do what I want if you don't want your colleagues to suffer."He looked into my eyes again and his eyes darkened with lust. "Strip, Lily."I shook my head. His expression changed, so I immediately spoke again to negotiate. "Not here, Rogue. Please… You can do whatever you want at home. I won't complain. Just not here."He stared at me dangerously before his lips curved into a smirk. "I see you don't want your stupid boys to know your dirty little secret."I swallowed hard. I'd rather him think that way."Alright! I want you naked on your bed tonight, Lily. Be fcking ready."I was so freaking nervous. I know him and he'll definitely do what pleas
Lily’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
