Five years Later

CHAPTER SIX.

LILA.

Lucien.

Five years Later.

It's been five years now and Lila was still nowhere to be found. It was just like she disappeared from the surface of the earth.

"I hope you are okay?" I whispered under my breath, my hands under my chin as I let out a sigh, feeling tired. For the past few days now, I have refused to step foot at home.

It doesn't even feel like home anymore. All the decorations were suddenly changed, and when I asked why, Lily said her taste had just changed, which was obviously a lie.

Another reason to prove she wasn't the one who stood by me in my hardest for a year. The air at home felt suffocating and empty. Countless times, I tried moving on, to pretend Lily was whom I made love to all these years, but nope.

Even the sex was terrible. I always forced myself to cum. It got to a point, I couldn't bear to touch her again. I needed my strawberry girl, the woman I couldn't do without putting my nose into her neck every time I gave her little bites that made her squirm in my hands.

Just thinking about it, about her, was making me hard in my pants. I groaned, facepalming myself and just needing answers, a way out of this. I needed to make things right.

My girl and child were out there. Probably would be five or four years by now. 

'Was the kid my carbon copy, do they have everything they needed?' These were the thoughts that ran through my mind every single moment.

I tried looking for Olivia, Lila's best friend, but she too was nowhere to be found, according to my private investigator, she was in her country, Tuscany.

Her father, A rich tycoon was the boss in that place but still no match for me. I just found out this information yesterday night, and I plan on setting out as early as possible tomorrow morning to where Olivia is. I would have gone today, but I had a banquet I couldn't miss tonight, being hosted by one of my best bud.

I know either Lila was with Olivia, or she knew where she was because why on earth did Olivia abandon her entire life here and just disappear? Except she helped Lila escape. She did have such influence.

Lila's parents didn't even care that Lila was nowhere to be found. It was just like a dog left to them. Only her father does try to reach out to me once in a while if I have heard anything.

The father was surely aware of the switch but refused to say anything for fear of his wife. Lila's mum. My insides coiled just at the thought of her.

I never really was a fan of her, just endured her presence because of Lily.

My eyes were drawn to the news playing on TV, and I scoffed. The press had started their speculations again.

Five years back, they claimed Lily was pregnant due to a bulge, not knowing she only ate too much. They even went to the extent of photoshopping, a picture of us both looking so in love.

I, myself, almost believed it if not that I knew the truth and nothing of such happened. My phone rang, snapping me out of my thoughts. 

I looked at the caller ID and couldn't stop myself from snorting in disgust.

'What did she want?' I pondered, as I picked up the call.

"Lucien". Her annoying voice came on board, and I struggled not to smash the phone in my hand down on the table in frustration.

"What is it?" I tried not to growl, feeling my skin heating up.

"Where have you been? You have not set foot home for days and I have been so ill". She whined, like an insect and I could feel my skin crawling in irritation.

'God, when did Lily start to affect me in such ways?'. I wondered. To think I used to be so much in love with her, I could take a bullet just to see her smile.
