LilyI would be always grateful that Wade was with us right now. If it weren't for his help I don’t know if I could still go on with life given the hardships I had faced.When Aiden told me that he wouldn’t be able to find a new job for me at the Packhouse, I must admit that I’ve lost all of my remaining hope. But I kept on acting tough and act as if I wasn’t toring apart on the inside especially in front of my twins.However, Wade knew me so well that he was still able to figure out what truly happen given the fact that I didn’t tell him a thing. It may be from eavesdropping on my conversation with Aiden, but still, he was able to find a solution to my problem which I thought I could never overcome.Today would be my first day of working as his secretary, and I have already made a clear promise to myself that I will do everything perfectly for Wade to think that I truly deserve the place he’s given me.Though I still couldn't believe how Aiden can easily say to my face that he won’t
LilyThe nap I was talking to got out of hand that I didn’t notice how long I’ve been asleep. I was only determined to opened up my eyes upon having a sudden feeling of someone’s presence with me.I pushed my heavy lids to open and my body instantly jolted awake seeing Wade. He was sitting on his swivel chair with his arms folded as he watched me… probably sleeping?My boss just caught me sleeping in working hours just right inside his office!I could feel my face heating in embarrassment.“I-I’m sorry. I apologize,” I mumbled, fixing my hair, tucking a couple of strands behind my ears.“I didn’t mean to sleep. It was just,” I was caught off guard in finding my next words.Didn’t I mean it? I think I actually did.I looked back at him and seeing his blank gaze still fixed on me just caused me to panic even more.He’s probably mad.I could feel my heart skipping beats in nervousness as I tried to compose a reasonable alibi to explain to Wade. I just got this job, I couldn’t afford to l
LilyAccepting the fact that I won’t get any decent answer from him, I just waited until his car came into a halt at the parking lot of a fine dinning restaurant we just passed by.“What are we doing here? I thought I’m gonna help you decide on buying something important?”And again, without responding to my question, he got out of the car and opened the door for me.“Let’s go,” he remarked, upon noticing that I am not moving nor have any plans on hopping out.“I am asking you a question. Why can’t you seem to answer it? I am confused so just answer me,” irritation was audible on my monotone voice.“Alright, I’m sorry. It was inside.” “You mean a shop inside a restaurant? Are you really kidding me?” “No, I’m not. Please, just come with me. Trust me on this one.” He offered his hands to me which I then took.Little did he know that I trust him more than myself.I let him pulled me until we reached inside. But what made me confused much more is to see that the restaurant was empty. Th
LilyLeaving me dumbfounded, Wade smrirked before shutting the car door between us and make his way to the driver's seat.I had no idea how I managed to stay with him inside the car as he drove us back home. We were both muted, weighing on each other’s silence.We got back home and still no one bothers to speak. And I am determined not to break the silence between us first. I still even couldn’t believe that I did it!I was at fault, too. I let him kiss me and I kissed him back.The next morning, I was up early as I didn’t even got the chance to sleep last night with many thoughts lingering on my mind.I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast and I realize Wade was already gone with the door of his room wide open and his car that’s not by the the driveway anymore.Maybe that kiss was just nothing to him, but it means something bigger to me!I was kind of annoyed with that idea pinned on my head the whole time.“How did the dinner went, Mommy?” Zoey sweetly asked as she pulled out a
LilyAs soon as Wade dropped me off in front of the main gate of the Packhouse, I only waited for him to successfully leave before rushing inside.If I can’t do anything to save our Pack from him, then I should ask someone with the authority to do so, right?And Aiden is the only person I could think of. We may not have a good conversation after I aksed him to give me a job, I am ready to forget all of those in order to save the Pack who stands as my new home.I make sure to call Wade’s lawyer first and told him what Wade told me to beforte I searched for Aiden around the entire Packhouse and upon finding no one, I asked a couple of Pack members who might know if he’s going to come at the Packhouse today. However, the only answer I got is that they have no idea.Desperate and left with no other choice, I rushed upstairs, to Wade’s office to call Aiden. I pushed the door open and was taken aback to see Aiden inside. I just left hid office a couple minutes ago after the making th phonec
LilyI forced myself to stood back up with my palm covering both my cheeks.“I’m sorry, but do I know you for you to just slap me twice?” I was trying to keep my voice low and sound respectful even though she clearly didn’t have any towards me.“Of course, how would you know me,” the woman snickered, fixing her hand bag that she’s carrying before flipping her hair.“Well, I am just the mother of the woman who’s now in misery because of you!”She was about to slap me once again when I blocked her hand with my arm.“I had no idea what you’re talking about. I don’t know who your daughter is and I never caused anyone’s life misery,” I defended, pushing her away from me.Tucking a couple strands of my hair behind my ear, I bow down my head as I walked past her to leave.“I am Iris’ mother,” she announced, immediately making me stop from stepping away.“You ruined the life she was dreaming about and now you have the guts to act so innocent?!” Hastily turning around to face her again, I saw
LilyIt took him a several seconds just staring right into my eyes as if he was weighing my expression.“What documents?”I blinked once and a few drops of my tears fall down. It’s funny how he is still trying to save his ass when he is obviously caught red handed.“Are there any more documents you were hiding that you cannot figure out what I have seen?” I bitterly laugh, wiping my tears away.Even though I couldn’t see any reason why I should be crying in the first place, hearing him deny everything right in my face only made me understand how easy it is for him to lie.“I already saw everything, Wade. From the financial records you were keeping down to all of the Pack members of our Pack—” “It’s not what you think it is.”“How could you do this to our Pack when we are already suffering? How much money do you plan stealing, huh? Isn’t your wealth enough for you?!”“I’m not planning on stealing anything!” he yelled just to stop me from spilling further.I was caught off guard after
Lily“You’ve just got to believe me, Lily. Trust me on this one.” He held both my hands, squeezing them gently.“Give me a reason to believe you. Tell me what is it going on with our Pack that Aiden could be part of. Tell me and I promise to believe you.” His grip on my hands eventually loosened as he slowly shook his head.“I am yet to prove everything, Lily. I just need more time to gather all the proofs I need–” “Did I even ask for a proof? Why can’t you see it, Wade? I will always believe you, just give me something to believe in. Tell me what is it,” I sobbed, desperately wanted to know what he means.He let out a deep sigh, consuming the remaining space between us. His palms reached and cupped my cheeks while his thumb wiped my tears away.“I can’t tell you about it right now,” he murmured.In frustration, I moved my face away, pushing him away from me.Why does it feel the amount of trust I have in him weren’t reciprocated at all. He doesn’t trust me the way I trust him which
