Victor and Lisa looked at their shocked expression and hoped desperately that she screwed up terribly.
“When did you…” Zack asked, speechless.
“I saw it on your side desk and, well, it inspired me to make the flower goddess.” She told him.
Alan was just quiet. She felt a bit scared that she might’ve done something she shouldn’t have.
“It doesn’t have to be in the game. I just drew her because she looked really beautiful and from what Zack told me, she sounded like a wonderful person, like a goddess as beautiful and colorful as the flowers in full spring.” Lillian told them how she really felt.
It brought tears into Alan’s eyes, which made Lillian panic a little.
Zack came home and told his dad what he saw. “I told you we shouldn’t let her go. They didn’t come here for her out of guilt. They came here because they were scared of you.” Zack told him. “Look son, I knew.” Alan told him. “You knew, and you still sent her away?” Zack looked at him, pissed. “It was her choice.” Alan told him. “Well, she sure is regretting it now.” Zack said, looking away with his hands on his hips. “She made her choice, Zack. And I’m sure she has a plan of her own.” Alan told him. “And that is to get bullied by her parents?” he asked sarcastically.
He was just a few centimeters away from her lips when she brought her finger in between and pushed him away. “We’re not a real couple and nice try, Zack.” she told him, moving away. “Oh, shoot.” He said, pretending like he was just joking around when he felt a bit hurt on the inside. “You should leave. It’s really late. Your dad could be worried about you.” she told him. “Oh, he knows.” He told her, getting up. She looked at him, surprised. “Your dad is really laid back, huh?” she asked him. “You don’t know half of it.” he told her. “See you tomorrow.”
She went to school after work. When she got there, she saw Zack standing by the gate, waiting for her. She ran up to him with a smile. “Morning.” she told him. “Morning munchkin.” He told her with a smile and patted her head. She threw him a weird look as he put his arm around her shoulders. “What is up with you these days? Jeez.” she said, looking at him with a frown. “What do you mean?” he asked her, pretending to not know what she was saying. They walked to class together. “It’s like you’re possessed by a flirting gh
Zack was outside, wandering around. He would always get bored whenever Lillian wouldn’t be with him. He stopped by a bridge and looked at the water in boredom. His phone buzzed in his pocket. He took it out and saw that he got a message from an unknown number. He opened it and saw Lillian in a restaurant with a guy and he was caressing her face. His hand curled into a tight fist, and then he received the location of the place. He ran to the place. He reached there in a few minutes and saw Lillian having dinner with the guy. Zack went inside and sat down at the table behind her. She didn’t see him because her back was facing him. He eavesdropped on their conversation.
After walking for three minutes, Zack regretted what he said to her. “Damn it, you idiot.” he told himself and ran in Lillian’s direction. He found her sitting on the pathway crying silently and sighed in regret. He slowly walked up to her and sat beside her. She sniffed and looked away, wiping her tears with the back of her hand. He grabbed her shoulder, but she slapped his hand away. He sighed and looked down. “I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean what I said. I was just angry.” he explained. “People say a lot of true things in anger.” She told him, looking ahead of her. “I’m not
Days passed by and her parents didn’t try to do any more things to her. Her days went by peacefully, which she was glad for.Her contest was only a day away, which made her quite nervous. Alan invited her parents to give Zack and Lillian some confidence boost, but it was mostly for Lillian since Zack was not nervous at all for the contest.Lillian was already at their house and was revising what she learned once more with Zack before her parents and Aurora arrived. They were called for dinner.Lillian saw that Aurora was wearing a dress that revealed her cleavage very well. She was beaming at Zack, and he was fully ignoring her.“You have an admirer.” Lillian teased him in a low tone.
“I have been patient with you and your bitchy attitude for long enough! But this is too much!” Alan snapped at Aurora. “Lillian can never be compared to you because you have no respect for anyone.” he looked at Lisa and Victor. “And you, too, are to blame for her shitty and spoiled attitude.” He looked back at Aurora. “And you would never become my daughter-in-law even if Zack begged me to. I am not letting anyone like you join my family only to ruin it!”He made himself clear.Aurora stormed out of the room, and Lisa ran after her.Alan glared at Victor.“Never bring that brat in my house again.” he told him.He then lifted
The next morning, Lillian woke up early and got ready. She was glad that she had left a pair of dresses from the last time she stayed here. She was feeling even more nervous now that today was D-day. Alan dropped them both at the school and then Mr. Owen took them to the place where the contest was being held. When they got there, they saw a lot of different students from the elite school and this made her even more anxious. Zack noticed that. “You kid look around for a while, since we’re half an hour early. In the meantime, I’ll get both of your names entered.” he told them and went away. Zack bumped into her shoulder with his, which
`~1000 Years Later~The world wasn’t the way it was anymore. Technology had advanced and new species were discovered on multiple planets.Everything had changed in the universe except for his love for her.“Mr. King, the spaceship to earth is ready.” His secretary told him.Zack waved his hands dismissively.Everyone he knew had died or left him. His father died from poisoning. Lillian and Shadow died from old age, and Olivia never showed herself to him.Lillian was right. He would regret the day his father would die, and he did. Because of that day, he couldn’t make it to his father in time. He could only hold his lifeless body and cry.Years ago, he told Olivia not to heal him and let him be because that was his punishment, but she wouldn’t let him be and in the end saved him from death and that was how he was alive today.Zack got up from his seat and walked out of his office. He took the spaceship back to his home.When they got back, his secretary offered to drive him home, but h
Blake aimed at her head and pulled the trigger.The bullet hit her head and bounced off because of her dragon scale.She got up angrily and looked at him with a deadly expression.“You’re forgetting something. Dragon scales aren’t easy to pierce.” She told him with a growl.He knew that he would certainly be in trouble if she caught her, so he ran away, but Lillian wasn’t going to let him escape this time.She took out her wings and chased him in the air.Zack grabbed her phone and quickly sent Olivia their location because he feared that the way Lillian was angry she was bound to do something that she was going to regret.Blake was just in front of the staircase when she pushed him as hard as she could. He fell down the stairs and landed at the bottom, groaning in pain.“What you did to all of us, I will make you pay in full.” She told him with hatred, landing in front of him.“You don’t have the guts to kill me.” Blake told her, getting up.Lillian pulled her leg and kicked him so h
“What?!” Zack asked in shock, getting up. He gripped the phone in his hand.“It seemed like he had drunk some vampire blood.” Max told him.“How?” Zack asked in a more composed tone.“We don’t know for sure, but we… found dragon scales in his room. I suspect that the dragon might have come back for revenge.” Max told him.Zack looked at Lillian. She raised her eyebrow at him.“The same mistake was made last time. Don’t repeat it again.” Zack told him.“But young ma-.”“But, nothing. Do you understand me? And you will not take any actions without my approval. Do you understand me?” Zack told him in a cold, hard tone.“Yes, young master.” Max told him.“I’ll be there in a few minutes.” Zack told him and ended the call.“What happened?” she asked him, seeing the worry in his eyes.“... Someone has poisoned the vampire king like my mother.” he told her.“How?” she asked him, getting up and ignoring the fact that he just referred his father as the vampire King.“I don’t know. All I was tol
Lillian drove to the villa in her car and after driving for a few hours, she finally reached it. She got out and looked around. She smiled a little as the memories of this flooded her mind.The gates were open, so she went straight inside. She slowly walked inside and looked around.Lillian walked up to the pool first and smiled, remembering how Zack teased her here.She then went up to the room she stayed in. when she went in, she was surprised to see Zack there.He was sitting at the desk with his head resting on the table in the other way. He had his headphones on him.Lillian took a deep breath and walked towards him. She stopped in front of him and looked at his face. His eyes were closed, but the distress was clear on his face. The sunlight was hitting his face, so she lifted her hand and blocked it with her hand.Zack felt it and opened his eyes to see what had happened when he saw Lillian standing there. He lifted his head quickly and took off his headphones while looking at h
Lillian woke up before Shadow did and went to the bathroom. After taking a shower and changing her clothes, she went to the kitchen to make breakfast. She was craving something sweet for breakfast. She made waffles with bacon and a big bowl of cereal. As she slowly munched on her breakfast, she scrolled through her phone looking at her news feed.She finished her breakfast and got up to put the dishes away, then she went to check on Shadow, who was still asleep.She went to the living room and sat down on the sofa. The ring on her finger caught her eye. She smiled, looking at it, and suddenly was reminded of Zack.Lillian sighed and looked out the window of her living room, thinking about how she met Zack and how he saved her. Of all the things they had been through. She knew that there were some things she needed to talk with him about.Suddenly, a phone call interrupted her thoughts. She picked her phone and looked at the caller ID. It was Olivia.“What’s up, Liv?” she asked her aft
She turned around and gasped, while cupping her mouth with her hands.“Lillian, since the first day we met, I’ve known that you would be mine for life. You brought so many changes in me that I didn’t even know was possible. You are my happiness and the only reason that brings a smile to my face. I want to give you the best things in life because you deserve them and I want to spend my whole life with you. Will you give me the chance to let me take care of you for until the day I breathe my last? Will you marry me?” he asked, looking at her while holding out the ring in front of her.Tears started to form in her eyes.She nodded and took out her hand for him.“Yes.” she told him in a low tone.He felt like the happiest man on earth as he got up and put the ring on her finger.Lillian hugged him tightly and then leaned back a little to kiss him.When they broke their kiss, Shadow whipped the few tears that escaped her eyes with his thumb.“I love you.” He told her.“And I love you.” She
Zack went to his villa and went to the bedroom Lillian stayed in. He sat down on the bed and looked at the empty room. He remembered the memories he had here and smiled sadly. He laid down on the bed on his back and looked at the ceiling.“How I wish I could go back in time and fix everything.” he said in the empty room in a low tone.Taking a rectangular box from his pocket, he looked at it. He remembered that it was her birthday, and he didn’t find her by coincidence. He had been looking for her around the city to give her the necklace he bought for her as a birthday gift.He opened the box and took out a four clover pendant out of it. The reason he picked this pendent up was because from now he wanted her to be lucky and happy in her life. He didn’t want her to suffer anymore in her life, but when he saw the way she looked at him, he knew that they could never be what they once were.He missed the past when they were close and happy and wanted to go back to those days desperately,
After dinner, they took a walk together for a while. The moon was shining brightly in the sky and there were a lot of stars twinkling in the night sky. Lillian looked up and wondered.“Do you think that there are aliens on other planets?” she asked him.“I don’t know. I only know about this planet. Why did you ask that so suddenly?” he asked her.She shrugged.“It was just a random thought.” She told him and then asked one more question she was wondering about. “What about parallel universes?”“Babe, I have no idea. I am no scientist.” He told her and added. “But maybe there are, and we don’t know that they exist yet. Like humans don’t know that dragons, vampires, werewolves, etc. exist.”She nodded.“Maybe.” she said and looked at him with a smile.“Wanna stop by your parents before we head home?” he asked her.She nodded.They walked back to their car, but when they reached it, they saw Zack standing beside it. They stopped in front of him.Lillian looked at him with mixed feelings.
Several days passed by and Lillian felt closer to her parents than ever before. She spent most of the day with them and even did work while sitting with them. Her parents were proud of their daughter’s accomplishments and they were also grateful to have her alive and well in their life.Shadow felt a bit lonely though in these past few days since she was spending more time with them rather than him, but he tried to be understanding towards her because she got to be with her parents after so many years. He imagined doing the same if he met his parents like this in this world. Though having her distracted was also good for him because he had more time to secretly go around and make preparations for proposing to her on her birthday.He had to check a lot of restaurants before he found a good one for her. He later went to a bakery and gave an order for a two-tier chocolate mousse cake.The night before her birthday, she slept with her parents and left him alone at the house, which left hi
