Chapter 56 Ren POV I touch my lip for the umpteenth time and smile excitedly like a teenager that just had his first kiss with his crush. I didn't know what came over me, but the only thing I could think of when I saw her was to kiss her, because I have really missed her so much. The last three months without her by my side have been the worst days of my life, and when I couldn't take it anymore, I had to put everything on hold and travel down here to see her, but I couldn't have told her about it, yeah? Still lost in thoughts, my phone suddenly starts ringing and I quickly answer it when I see that it's from Rhea. "Hey, brother," Her sweet voice sounds through the phone, and I smile as I lay on the bed, staring up at the ceiling. I wouldn't have taken this bold step if not for Rhea that made me realize that I really want Lilian. She told me to go for her, and when I told her that I wanted to come here, she motivated me and gave me every reason to do this. 'Mak

Chapter 57Writer's POVShe stares back at him, shocked about his confession. She pinched her thigh to be sure she wasn't dreaming, but it was reality. The man who dreaded and bullied her so much was really sitting in front of her and confessing his love to her, when she was planning to end things today, and move on with her life.For seconds, her heart freeze in her chest, and her brain couldn't process what to say. It was the first time in her entire life someone was going to confess to her, and she didn't even know how to react. Yes, she was supposed to be excited, not because she had feelings for him, but because someone finally confessed to her, but she was rather disappointed. She just lost a few pounds, and he now found her beautiful enough to be with her?"You love me? Why?" She finally spoke up, and he bit his bottom lip."I don't know...""When did you start liking, or loving me, rather? Was it today?" She asked as she clenched her fingers under the table, feeling a bit nerv

Chapter 58Lilian POV"Nate?" I called to be sure I wasn't hallucinating, and the shocked expression written on his face showed that I wasn't really hallucinating. Nate was standing in front of me. The person I'd been dying to see for months was standing right in front of me.He quickly helped me up to my feet, and I pulled him into my arms, hugging him tightly as if he would run away from me again if I was easy on him. Tears brimmed in my eyes and soon found their way out, and he patted my back.After the hug, we finally went to sit on the bench at the side of the road to talk."It has been a while. How have you been?" He asked me, and I sighed briefly. I haven't been fine since he left, it felt like a part of me left me all this while, and seeing him now made me so excited that I wanted to hug him over and over again until I smelt like him."Why didn't you say goodbye to me? Did I tell you the thing I wanted was your money? You could've at least said bye to me, right?" Thinking abou

Chapter 59Ren POVI tossed on the bed for the umpteenth time, unable to sleep. As much as I didn't want to think about the rejection, I just couldn't help it. Yeah, I want to tell myself that, hey, man, it's ok. That's how fate wants it, but still, I can't help but think about it, because it hurts so much. My heart can't take the pain and I just feel like putting my head deep inside the water for some time. Who knows, maybe I will feel relieved if I do that.The sound of my ringing phone pulled me back to reality, and I lazily reached out for it. Rena must've called to ask about how the proposal went as she was the one on the phone. I took a deep breath and sat up on the bed before I swiped the answer button."Hey, Ren. What's up?" Hearing her voice made me a bit nervous."Yeah, I'm fine. How about you? How is life over there?" I asked her and heard her sigh."It's pretty frustrating, especially with mom here. When are you coming back, Ren? Mom has been on my neck asking of you every

Chapter 60Lilian POV'So, don't forget that I won't stop chasing you' Thinking about that every damn time was messing with my head, but what the fuck could I do? "He must be a joker," I mumbled and scoffed, packing my hair up in a ponytail. I had just gotten back from my morning workout, and getting ready to go see Nate at his house. We had plans that I was going to go over to his house today to make food with him. It was Saturday, so going out wouldn't be a problem, right?Pushing all the thoughts disturbing me to the back of my mind, I dragged myself into the bathroom sluggishly with the remaining strength left in me after the workout. I would definitely be fine after a shower, and that was all I needed right now.After I was done bathing, I walked back into the room and took my time to make myself up to look pretty, after which I selected a pretty dress from the closet and slid into it. I couldn't help but admire myself as I stared at my reflection in the mirror, and seeing that

Chapter 61Lilian POVIt was fun cooking with Nate. I had no idea he was a great cook until today, and I enjoyed every second spent in the kitchen with him. It also gladdened my heart because it was a way of reducing work for the maid, and seeing the excitement on her face when I served her food told me that I made the right decision coming here to cook today."I didn't know you were so good at cooking," I broke the awkward silence as we ate in the dining room later, and he raised his gaze to look at me, and smiled."Yeah. You can't grow up with my mom and not know how to cook as her child. I learned it from her," He replied to me, and I could only admire his perfection. What would it look like to have such a handsome gentleman that could cook and do things, as my man? I would be the luckiest bitch on earth, trust me."Your Mom must be a good disciplinarian, I guess," I smiled at him, and he nodded his head."Yeah, I won't say you're wrong if you say that. She was really a good one, a

Chapter 62Ren POVIt's ridiculous how I'm still trying to hang around her when she already made it clear to me that she doesn't want me, but trust me, there's no way in hell I was ever going to give up on us. I mean, I won't ever do that."You are just wasting your time, man," my subconscious mind reminded me as I packed up the food I just made in the kitchen, but I quickly dismissed the thought. I was ready to murder any bad energy and negative thinking, giving myself all the hope I could gather even though it didn't seem like it was going to work."This is ridiculous, Ren. You are going to humiliate yourself," again, my subconscious mind said to me, but I rolled my eyes dramatically and walked out of the kitchen, heading to my room to have a quick bath, and once I was done, I got dressed and went to check myself out in the mirror. Being clad in a pair of Gucci black trousers, and an expensive Valentino button-down shirt that was gifted to me on my last birthday by Rena, and I style

Chapter 63Lilian POVI stared at my reflection in the mirror, and the beautiful young lady staring back at me made my heart flutter. How I suddenly became so pretty was something I couldn't wrap my head around, but was a dream come true for me.The thought of Nate crossed my mind, and my heart fluttered as I blushed. We were going out to have fun tonight. From going to the Park, to the beach, and finally to the restaurant. He didn't mention that this was a date, but what would you call this if it was not a dinner date?"Go for him, Lilian. This is your chance," I whispered and smiled at my reflection, then took a deep breath and picked up my phone which just had a text popped on the screen. It was a text from Nate, so I quickly opened it.'I'm waiting for you outside' Said the text, so I quickly checked myself out to be sure everything was intact, and when I was sure, I finally grabbed my handbag from the bed and strode out of the room elegantly. I hastened my steps so I could get to

Chapter 89Lilian POV"Babe, are you ready?" Ren's voice sounded from outside the room before the door opened, revealing him. He was graced in a pair of black trousers and, a purple button-up shirt that had the sleeves folded up to his elbow. His hair was styled beautifully in a wavy style, and all I could say was admit that he looked cute."Why are you staring at me like that?" He asked after he walked inside the room and covered the distance between us. He pulled me close and, our bodies pressed hard against each other, and my heart fluttered. It had been two weeks since we started dating, and those days had been the best of my life so far. I couldn't pray for any life happier and sweeter than this."You look cute," I admitted, and he raised his eyebrows as he pouted his lips."Feels good to hear that from you. You look gorgeous too, my love," He smiled at me heartily as he tucked the strands of hair on my forehead, behind my ear. Furthermore, he wrapped his arms around my waist and

Chapter 88Ren stared back at her wordlessly, not knowing what to say. This was something he had waited almost all his life for, something he had always daydreamed about... The day he had wished and prayed for every time. It was finally here, and everything still felt like a dream to him."Lil...ian?" He called to be sure this wasn't a dream. Slowly, he touched his lips and blinked his eyes."I love you, Ren," Lilian said again, and this time, he pulled her into his arms and claimed her lips. It was literally their first proper kiss together, and he felt like never stopping this. The way her body made him feel, the way his heart beat rapidly, he knew that yes, this was love. He was finally experiencing love. Although he had been with women in the past and even with Tracy, none of them ever made him feel the way this lady was making him feel. None of them had ever made him so helpless the way Lilian had made him. He kissed her slowly and tenderly until they were breathless, and when he

Chapter 87Lilian POVRen had been there for me since the last two weeks that my Dad had been buried, and although the pain is still there, Ren was there to fill up the space, and denying the fact that I felt something for him now was the last thing I would do. Even if I did, deep inside me, I knew that I was just deceiving myself.We would be leaving for LA first thing tomorrow morning, and our things were ready, but deep inside me, I wasn't ready to leave this place. I still wanted to stay back here and spend some time with Ren.It was night already and Ren had not yet returned home after he left three hours earlier, and I was worried about him. For the fifth time, I dialed his number as I sat on the couch in the living room, but just like every other time that I dialed his number earlier, it never went through, and it got me scarier as many thoughts came parading my mind. What if something bad had happened to him out there? What if he got into an accident and his phone stopped work

Chapter 86 Lilian POV I waited along the hallway after Ren went to speak with the doctor about the arrangement to deposit Dad's body in the morgue. I couldn't deny the excitement I felt even amid the pain when I heard he was coming over. We hadn't talked in a week after the incident at the hotel, and since he said he was going to give up, I thought he already went back. I thought I was going to wallow in pain alone without anyone there for me, but when I realized that he was still here, I was elated. I sat on the bench in the walkway and buried my face between my palms. My eyes were dry of tears, so I just sat doing nothing. I thought my Dad was going to be fine, I thought he was going to come out strong, but I was mistaken. I sat there for thirty minutes before he finally showed up, and I stood up as soon as I smelt his familiar cologne. He walked up to me gracefully. "His body has been deposited in the morgue, and the preparation for his burial will begin shortly," "Thank you,

Chapter 85"I'm sorry, Ms Sanchez, but we lost him," Lilian froze on the spot as she stared at her dad, who had been covered with a blanket. Her head was numb for the next few minutes, unable to process everything that was happening because it wasn't all adding up no matter how much she tried to think it through. Her Dad dying? That was the last thing she would ever accept.Her heartbeat slowed down until she could barely feel it. Her body went cold, so cold that she could barely feel any part of her body. Slowly, she dragged her feet toward the bed, her body trembling fearfully. She finally stopped beside the bed, and her hand trembled as she reached for the blanket and removed it from her Dad's face, revealing the poor man's pale face."Da..." Her voice trailed off as her lips quivered. She swallowed the lump that formed in her throat. Her eyes glistened with tears and in no time they streamed down her cheeks freely.Again, she swallowed nothing and finally turned to the doctor who

Chapter 84One week laterLilian stood in front of Nate's office, her heart pounding hard against her chest. Again, she asked herself if this was what she really wanted, but after giving it thorough thought although it was a difficult decision, she knew that this was the only way out of all the mess. Turning in her resignation was the only way she could get herself out of this mess. The last one week have been filled with her brooding over what happened, and she needed to get herself out of the mess at this point.She breathed in and out, then knocked on the door and waited for him to usher her in. "Come in," Came his calm voice from inside the room. She swallowed nothing as she pushed the door open and peeped inside to see him seated behind the desktop on the desk in front of him. She finally walked in fully and counted her steps toward him."Oh, Lilian, it's you?" Nate looked from his desktop and smiled at her."Good morning," He uttered, and she just nodded, looking everywhere els

Chapter 83Ren stared at the screen of his phone, contemplating whether to call Lilian or not. As much as he didn't want to care about her or worry about her, he couldn't help but worry about how she would be feeling after what happened yesterday.His thumb trembled as he held himself back from calling to check on her, and he eventually tossed his phone on the bed. He was supposed to leave for LA this morning, but he had canceled the flight for no reason. How was he supposed to leave here when Lilian was still here? Even though he said he was going to give up, it was difficult to do."Ugh! This is crazy," He ran his fingers through his hair as he sat up on the bed. He breathed out, then stood up from the bed and dragged his feet into the bathroom where he had a long and relaxing bath, and by the time he walked back into his room, he realized he'd spent an hour and a few minutes back in the bathroom. Not that he had anything to do that morning, anyway.His phone beeped just when he was

Chapter 82Lilian POVI tossed on the bed for the umpteenth time, finding it hard to get some sleep no matter how I tried to force myself to. Staying up for the whole night was the last thing I wanted, but nothing was working out no matter how hard I forced it. How was I supposed to sleep when I just realized that I'd been a fool all along? 'I have a girlfriend' she scoffed and sat up on the bed when she recalled those words. This was all her fault, and not Nate's. She was the one who assumed he had feelings for her, but why did he give her so much hope with his actions if he never liked her?"You have no right to blame him. It was still your fault," Her subconscious mind reminded her, no matter from which angle she tried to look at it from.The long-awaited time was finally here. The next morning Lilian had been looking forward to. She could barely get a good sleep last night, and here she was, awake at 5am for no reason.'Let's meet and talk tomorrow' Just before she was getting re

Chapter 81Ren drove the road, his eyes vision blurred by the tears that brimmed in his eyes. It hurt! No matter how much he tried to pretend that everything was fine, it wasn't just working out."Why can't I just stop loving her? Why do I have to be a pathetic loser?" He pulled over at the side of the road and slammed his hand on the steering wheel, venting out all his anger, but his heart didn't stop burning. Thinking about how obsessed Lilian is with Nate made him feel like he was losing his mind."Don't think about it. She doesn't want you, so you should fucking move on and stop brooding over her," He whispered as he rested his head on the steering wheel, but if only it could be possible to do, he wouldn't have hesitated to.His phone beeped and he checked to see that it was a text from Tracy.'Where are you, Ren? Are you safe? Why are you not answering my calls? I'm going crazy here' he tossed his phone back on the seat next to him after he read through the text that had just pop
