Lilly Pov The lunch was better than I expected, and I knew I had to start thinking more rather than be dependent on goggle and books after all they are written by people and it also mostly about their personal opinion that are written down Ai seem more useful in this sort of emotional thing. I've been so cut up thinking about emotions and how to create emotions that I seem to be forgetting my real goals I have a mission and wasting time thinking about unnecessary stuff is time consuming so, I think it better to move in with or even marry him and experiment faster it will also enable me to put my to into more benefiting goals. Emotions are unpredictable and can arrive without warning. One moment, a person feels joyful and carefree, and the next, a wave of sadness or anxiety washes over them. It's like emotions are playing a game of hide and seek with humans, leaving them wanting more and ending at some point in life. But the journey of identifying emotions is an exciting one.
"Daughter just announced the news being fake by just showing your face in the press, and father, will take care of the rest. That's a reassurance from me. " I need to convince her at all cost, the shares that are dropping are very bad for me. Although her been declared dead meant I can take control of my company, she's my (MMM) money-making machine. The shares dropping meant wifey and my little Helena have to stop their manner of spending. I don't really have much savings with me since I used it to bribe all those useless stakeholders who later went against me. I need help, and no one in the company is telling me anything about whether investors have been found or not. At first, I didn't want anyone to invest to show her incompetency to the board members, but now I'm worried. What can I do in this situation other than subcon? The situation on the ground is not really helpful at all, "Father, you do not need to worry about the shares anymore because I've already found a
It's been two weeks since I last saw my brother, and I was really curious about his love life or rather him falling in love at first sight, which is quite unbelievable. Any update? Have they gone on a date yet? Did he find her? There are so many questions that need answers, which only he could answer. Drake isn't telling me things, so I better go get answers from him myself today. I drove my car, which my mom just gave me as a gift for sending a girl to my brother's bed although not successful, but my effort was rewarded. I went straight to his office. When I got in, I saw him sitting behind his desk, expressionless and busy as always. What a workaholic! "What's up, bro?" I have told you to always knock before coming into my office, or do you want me to deny you access forever?" he said. "Come on, bro, I will take correction next time." "What do you want?" he asked, trying to dismiss me. But I wasn't having it. "So, how is it going with the mysterious woman, you know, th
Jerry left his brother's office with a head full of questions and a racing heart. This was not what he had expected at all. The cold, calculated Ray was head over heels for someone he had only known for two weeks. Jerry couldn't shake the feeling that this was moving way too fast, but he knew his brother well enough to understand that pushing too hard would only make Ray more determined. As Jerry drove home, his thoughts wandered to their mother. She had always been the voice of reason in their family, the one person Drake truly listened to. If anyone could make sense of this whirlwind romance, it would be her. And if Jerry played his cards right, he might even score another reward. That evening, Jerry sat down with their mother, Michelle, over a cup of tea. "Mom, there's something I need to talk to you about. It's about Ray." Michelle eyes sparkled with interest. "Oh? What has he done now? I hope he got a girl pregnant "Mom! Jerry exclaimed "Fine continue I won't interr
My greatest dream is coming true, and my heart is filled with immense joy! Although Ray falling in love so quickly with an unknown woman within two weeks was surprising, this proves that my son is not gay. I've always thought he was gay and liked only men, but this new development proves me otherwise. The thought of having grandchildren is really thrilling, and this will give me the opportunity to show off to all my friends who have theirs and have been making me feel awkward about my son's sexual orientation. This will shut them all up! I don't even care if the girl is from a lower social class; I'm finally getting a daughter who will do girl stuff with me and show emotions, not like my Jerry (son) who is weird and only shows interest in cars. But this is the right moment to share this amazing news with my husband, so I called him immediately, and he picked up on the first ring. "Hello, my love," the response came in with a voice that sounded half asleep. "Honey, you wouldn't beli
Lilly Pov Ugh, focus, why dost thou elude me?! I have a goal in mind, but my brain is a jumbled mess of ideas, like a Pinterest board on steroids. I want to achieve this goal, but my mind keeps wandering off on tangents, like a dog chasing squirrels.What's in a kiss, anyway?The Internet explained it in this manner like a magical moment where desire and circumstance collide, teaching us about patience, purpose, and timing. But let's be real, a great kiss can lead to great sex, and if I'm feeling all the emotions from just a kiss, imagine what a night of passion could bring!Consultanting the internet again was not a great ideaBut wait, what's this? I've kissed him, and it felt amazing, but now I'm thinking about taking it to the next level. And by the next level, I mean getting naked and doing the horizontal tango. But why?! I mean, I know I want to feel more emotions and all, but is this really the way to do it? I'm basically thinking, "Hey, let's have sex and see if I c
A date means different things, but in today's case, this date is not a romantic date nor a talking stage dare either. It's more of a confession date. Today, I get to show him my true self to avoid future misunderstandings and seek his permission to use him for my emotional experiment. ********* A few minutes later ******** "I was surprised when I received your call for a date, but I liked it, though," Ray said after he settled down i decided to have tte date at my place after all reporters are swarming everywhere. "I have something to discuss with you," I said, looking at him. " I'm all hear," he responded, looking at me expectantly "I'm sure you know I'm different from every woman you've ever met. I mean, every woman you've ever dated, literally. I want you to understand that I feel nothing - no emotion of any sort." He looked at me, confusion written all over his face. "Wait, you don't feel anything? Like, no emotions at all?" he asked, trying to take in what I was sayi
'Let get marry' These words kept ringing in Lilly's ear. All she wanted was sex not marriage. Even if i knew that I'm different, marriage was the last thing I was expecting. And is this the only way I could prove to him that I could offer commitment? Why marriage, This is the 20th century. Do we need to get married for an experiment? This seems more than I expected, perhaps I could do it with someone else but I don’t want someone else to touch me, my head is basically having an overdrive, I just need to calm down and experiment somewhere else. That I better idea, I'm done with this, sex and marriage are two different things and shouldn't be used in the same category. "Ray, I'm sorry, but I can't, I guess our personal relationship ends here then," I said, trying to stand up " Wait! don't you want to experiment with me any more, it not a bad idea to marry me, you know. I'm the most eligible bachelor in New york, and I'm very rich and handsome, so it is a win-win situation." h
Liliana’s voice wavered, but her anger burned steady. “What about the girl who grew up feeling unwanted?” she demanded, her hands trembling at her sides. “Do you have any idea what it’s like to be your daughter? To live a life where love was a distant dream?” Her breath hitched, her throat tightening. “Liliana’s life was miserable. Mine was too, growing up with you.”Evelyn flinched, her lips parting in a silent protest, but Liliana didn’t give her the chance to speak.“You said you were trying to protect me,” she continued, her voice thick with emotion, “but your protection felt more like a cage, Mother. Every single day, I felt trapped, suffocated by the life you built around me. I was always seeking, always pleading for freedom, even when I knew it was impossible.”Evelyn’s eyes shimmered with unshed tears, her expression contorted with guilt and confusion. “I—I only wanted to keep you safe…” she whispered.Liliana let out a bitter laugh, shaking her head. “Safe?” she spat. “You ca
Liliana’s breath caught, and she took an involuntary step back. “So you didn’t see her—my twin—after that? You didn’t even try to stop him?”Evelyn shook her head frantically, tears spilling down her face. Her shoulders trembled as she clutched her arms, her entire body wracked with guilt. Perhaps she was too caught up in her emotions to notice that Lilly was referring to someone else, her words laced with an underlying recognition that she herself hadn’t fully grasped yet.“I tried, Liliana,” Evelyn choked out. “I begged him to tell me where she was. But he wouldn’t answer. He just kept saying it was necessary, that I wouldn’t understand. And then he disappeared.” She sucked in a shaky breath, her voice barely above a whisper. “He left me alone. With no way to find him. No way to find her.”The air in the room felt suffocating. Lilly’s nails dug into her palms, her hands clenched into tight fists at her sides. She was shaking, fury and betrayal crashing over her in violent waves.“Yo
Lily felt like her Liliana entire existence was a sham. She had been living a lie, dead believing in a lie and the truth was only now beginning to unravel. The man who had tormented her, whom she thought was her father, was actually not her biological parent. It was a shocking revelation, and she couldn't wrap her head around it. How could this be? How could her whole life be a fabrication?As she grappled with these questions, Lily's emotions were in turmoil. She felt like she was vibrating with anger and frustration, and she couldn't seem to calm down. Her existence, her identity, everything she thought she knew about herself was a lie.And to make matters more complicated, she had just discovered that she had a twin sister, who was somehow seven years older than her. It didn't make sense - how could two people be twins, yet be born at different times? It was a mind-bending concept, and Lily was desperate for answers.She hoped that the explanation she was about to receive would be
Evelyn’s voice broke as she began, her trembling hands gripping the edges of the chair she sat on. She couldn’t meet Liliana’s eyes. Her gaze seemed fixed somewhere in the distance, as if reliving the memories she was about to unveil.“When I found out I was pregnant, I was overjoyed,” she began, her tone soft and uneven, every word weighted with emotion. “It felt like my whole world had fallen into place. I was carrying a piece of the love I shared with your father—your father, Liliana. He was my anchor, my safe haven.”Her lips quivered as a small, bittersweet smile appeared, only to disappear almost immediately. “I still remember the tears on his face when I told him. He held me so tightly, like he was trying to hold on to the moment forever. We had so many dreams, plans to build a home, a family. We talked about the little things—what color the nursery would be, what names we’d pick. Life felt… perfect.”Her voice cracked, and she brought a trembling hand to her face, swiping away
Evelyn walked slower when she saw her daughter’s figure from a distance, her voice carrying over, deeper with hurt. “You said you wanted to talk, right?” Liliana’s voice wavered, the tremble betraying the anger she tried to keep steady. She turned slightly, her hands clenched at her sides. “What do you want to talk about? Or are you here just to make sure I’m unhappy?” She laughed bitterly, her gaze falling to the ground for a moment before meeting Evelyn’s. “You know, Mother, if you really care as much as you claim, if you’re really here to make amends like you say, you wouldn’t have done what you did.” Evelyn stayed silent, her chest tightening as she watched Liliana brush at her cheeks roughly, trying to hold herself together. “Even if Ray had done something wrong,” Liliana continued, her voice sharp but trembling, “as a mother, you could have at least tried to hide it. Tried to make it seem like nothing was wrong. Do you know what I did, Mother?” She laughed again, this time s
Ray’s protective instincts flared, his jaw tightening as he turned to Evelyn. “You what?” he demanded, his voice low and dangerous. Evelyn raised a hand, her expression placating. “Relax, Ray. That’s all in the past now. I came here to make amends, not to dredge up old wounds.” Liliana scoffed, folding her arms across her chest. “Amends? Is that what you’re calling this little stunt?” Evelyn smiled serenely, ignoring her daughter’s hostility. “Yes, darling. I’m here to make things right. You’ll see.” She turned her gaze back to Ray. “And as for you, young man, you seem like a good match for my daughter. I’m pleased she found someone who can handle her fire. But why are you cheating on her though.” Ray didn’t respond, his mind racing with questions and suspicions. He could feel Liliana trembling beside him, her emotions barely contained. He placed a reassuring hand on her back, silently promising her that he wouldn’t let this woman cause her any more pain. And that he didn’t cheat
Finally, she swung the door open. There she was. Evelyn Altee stood on the doorstep, her radiant smile as poised as ever, her eyes sparkling with an unsettling calm. She looked utterly at ease, as though she had every right to be there, as though she hadn’t faked her own death or threatened Lilly just weeks ago. “Hello, darling,” Evelyn said sweetly, her voice as smooth as silk. Lilly stared at her, unable to form words. Her mother looked almost exactly as she remembered from the few weeks back, only that this time she looked better and emotional state seems balanced and the guilt and fear from weeks ago was gone. Evelyn’s smile widened, and she tilted her head slightly. “Aren’t you going to invite me in?” Lilly’s lips parted, but no sound came out. A wave of emotions crashed over her—shock, anger, confusion, and an overwhelming sense of betrayal. “Why…?” she finally managed to choke out, her voice trembling with disbelief. “Why are you here? After everything? You—” She broke o
As they walked toward the dining room, Mitchell slowed her pace just enough to fall in step beside Ray, her expression calm but her eyes sharp. When she was sure Liliana wasn’t looking, she tilted her head slightly toward him and mouthed, “Have you told her? Or has she seen the news?”The weight of her question hit Ray like a ton of bricks. His smile faltered briefly before he quickly composed himself, shaking his head subtly in response. No.Mitchell’s lips pressed into a thin line, her eyes narrowing for a moment before she returned her attention to Liliana, who was inspecting a vase of fresh flowers near the dining room entrance.Ray inhaled deeply, forcing a smile back onto his face as he guided Liliana to her chair at the head of the table. “Here you go, baby girl. Sit tight, and I’ll get you settled.”But the moment he stepped back, Liliana’s gaze pinned him. Her eyes were sharp now, missing nothing. “What are you two hiding from me?” she asked, her voice cool and measured, devo
Ray chuckled, his hand gently resting on the curve. “I think it has, love. Our little one’s making their presence known.”Liliana’s cheeks flushed as she stepped out of his hold and dashed toward the walk-in closet, her curiosity getting the better of her. She stood in front of the full-length mirror, turning this way and that, examining her figure with wide eyes.“I can’t believe it,” she murmured, a soft smile spreading across her face as she touched her belly.Ray leaned against the doorway, his heart swelling at the sight of her so captivated by the change. “You look beautiful,” he said warmly, his voice full of love.Liliana glanced back at him, her eyes shining. “I’m fascinated. I mean, I knew it would happen, but seeing it… feeling it…” She trailed off, her hand lingering over the gentle curve.Ray stepped behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist and resting his chin on her shoulder. “It’s incredible, isn’t it? And it’s only going to get better from here.”She turned her
