Lily's POV I woke up feeling a bit drowsy. I had a romantic dream in my sleep with a major character that looked familiar. No wonder when my alarm which I set at 6 AM woke me up, I was too lazy to get out of bed to prepare for my day. At that moment, I felt like going back to sleep to continue my dream. "Just hope it will come true." I wished myself what I had seen in my sleep before I stood up, I've been sitting on the bed for over thirty minutes. It's now 6:35 AM. "I'll be late for work!" I immediately sprang up from my bed, I can't afford to lose early customers out of lateness. They're those who come early to request flowers. Just here, the special order of yesterday flew into my mind. I have a great customer I'm so eager to see. I dressed my bed, walked to the sink to brush my mouth, then I took about twenty minutes to wash myself. My hair is damp, thick and heavy from the wetness that it's a heavy load. Drying it is now a necessity but I have no dryer, I haven't bought it yet
Lily's POV "Good morning Miss." He greeted me in a deep, manly voice. A warmth cascaded over me. His husky voice could make women swoon. He was going real formal. Gosh! This turned me on."Good morning sir." We said almost at once. He reached out for my hand, I gave it out and we shook hands. "How was your night, hope you're doing great this morning?" I'm amazed at his concern. "Yes, I'm doing good and you?"“How about your brothers or you chose to come here alone?” I teased but he turned his head around to look if people were watching or if anyone heard. “Are you in need of my brothers or myself,” he snapped but in a low tone. I chuckled quickly. “Just kidding.” I heard his breath-in and I hummed. “Let's be formal for today,” his face returned to seriousness as he said. “Formal beyond here, we will slowly start to fall for each other again, falling into a proper relationship.” I slightly arched my brow, wondering what he really meant and why. He knew my thoughts. “Because I'
Lily's POV Vincenzo had dropped the image he wanted me to recreate on my Facebook account, as well as other details he wished to be added to the portrait. Upon getting my tools from the mall, my color pens and all the necessary tools, I set to work starting from 8 PM. Knowing I had important work to attend to, I returned from work early, slept from 2 PM to 6 PM where I woke up and got my dinner ready, ate it and rested for a while watching some movies on my phone. The work Vincenzo gave me was a tough one for beginners but it wasn't for me, my artistic skills were really a talent I was born with before learning it in school. It was an honor to have him assigned with such a major task. The huge amount he promised was sent to me, still my joy was intense but I wouldn't let it disrupt my work. I will rejoice much after. I took to drawing at a tender age, eight to be precise. At ten, I was already drawing like a semi-professional. It wasn't a task for me but a hobby. At 12 AM, I was
Vincenzo’s POV“Those bitches will pay more than they can take for maltreating my mate and daring to lie to me. They can never deceive me.” I swore, beating my chest. I was too furious to say anything yet to Lily even when the call was still ongoing. Didn't they know that I did this on purpose? That I put Lily with them knowing fully well they will treat her badly, so I use this to breach the agreement we made and not marry them. I'll reward them for helping me eliminate their dad in another way but first I must punish them for daring to ill treat my girl. Right from the first time I set my eyes on Lily, my heart can't rest. Then I wished she was mine but I had to make her mine, Ava and her sisters can't in any way be compared to her. All I wish is that I could turn back the tides to the time I met them, I would erase the romantic tension between us and make it strictly business so no one would have to hurt Lily. "I think you must be staying close to your shop?" "Yes." "And you'
Vincenzo’s POV A VC notification came up on my screen, I clicked on the accept, turning my bedside lamb a bit brighter so the room would get more illuminated for Alessandro to see me. "Who's the girl? Do you have her pics?" The curiosity in him was already showing, matters like this didn't fail to place him under suspense. "She's not using her pics on her profile, you need to see her yourself. She is…." He didn't let me talk further as he cut me off with a gesture of his hands. "I know already, she looks like an angel. Before YOU can get attracted to a girl aside from your girl, she must be extraordinarily more beautiful than Lily?" This was an indirect taunt, a bait to hear what I'll say. "She is but I don't think I will get her." I began my series of lies. "Why?" Alessandro frowned at me. "A one-night stand is not so hard, especially for a man like you. You're well-built and a rich bastard." Laughter erupted from us but I remembered something. " Not looking for a one-night sta
Lily's POV With my troubled heart preventing me from sleeping, a thought to calm it down with an imagination of having some sweet session with Lily sets in. With both of us in her undies I would caress her body from her face down to the shoulders, linger a bit there before moving to her hands and the side of her breasts.After she's comfortable with my touches I would move on to her tommy, nibble it a bit. My hand traces down to her panties, "how do you feel?" I ask in a blush, I'm sure she will say with a blush "ecstatic." That would just be the perfect word.After I had gained her confidence, I would move back to her bra behind where the hooks were. A smile lighted in my face in my imagination, Lily is shy, perhaps innocent. Her inner being is screaming 'take it off, take it off.' I would do as it says and take it off. "Wooh!" My eyes widened in shock and my mouth gasped at seeing the delicious boobs of my crush giggling before me. Lily tries to make some slight movements while on
Lily's POV THREE WEEKS LATER I didn't dream of this, I never even thought of it that my business would flourish so big. Within three weeks after Vincenzo gave me my first work, I'd bought a big departmental Arts Store and employed over thirty expert Artists to be doing the work for me. But I didn't want to expand it up to this point, Vincenzo encouraged me. “You're the queen, you shouldn't be working for clients any longer. I should be your first and only client,” he said with pride and I blushed. Of course, he is my first and last major client. Others mostly came to buy flowers and I wouldn't deny the fact that I got up to eighteen clients after he got his work, but with the money he paid me, I was too busy finding a better store for my new profession. To his request of not working for clients, I playfully lashed back at him. “If I don't do it, then who will?” “You could employ Arts experts, I'll pay their monthly salary.” My ears couldn't hold this good news. I squealed and
Vincenzo’s POV“You're signing up forever as the Royal Beta and as punishment, you're having no mate. Seems you're too weak as a man with a mate.” Alessandro taunted. I smirked. This punishment sounded funny, at the same time really touching. “As for you Christian,” Alessandro moved over. “The Royal Gamma will be best for you. You have a degree in military strategy, was trained in a foreign military Academy and you handled military affairs back then at the Western Union Pack.” I witnessed the new assumption of positions, even the rest of the staff in the palace but I wanted something. All that went on after Adriel and Christian got their position was a puff of the wind. “I'm eager to have the gender reveal!” I constantly shook my kings, disturbing them until they suspended everything they had to do to follow me into the hospital. “I'm very important as well,” I declared inside the car. I watched as my mates smiled at me. “Yes you are, darling. We have to get married soon, then cr

Lily's POV I started with the sales of flowers, something really simple while watching the main business further. From here, I would switch directly to real arts, designs and painting. Lours Street was really a commercial street, there was nothing you would sell which would not attract patronage. On my first day, I had about twenty-one customers coming to buy flowers and an amount of eighty dollars to call profit. I had started on a good note, more good things I believed were coming my way.I opened a new account. LuxDesigns. I made a post about my artistic skills on my social media channels in the evening as I finished preparing myself dinner and eating it. I felt moved to do this because I wanted to attract more clients especially for portraits. "I'm interested," a comment suddenly popped up through the notification popping on my screen. My heart leaped for joy. It's my first customer! "Was he waiting for me?" I wondered. I clicked on his profile pic. A handsome young man in bl
