After dinner, Lillian went back into her room and drew a few sketches before she decided to take a rest. She went to the balcony and stood there for a while,enjoying the gentle breeze. Alan knocked before coming in. She looked back and saw that he brought her some snacks. She went to him and took the tray from him. โThank you.โ She told him with a small smile. โNo problem, dear. What were you doing?โ he asked her. โJust taking a break.โ She told him. She took the tray to the desk and put it there. The drawings spread around the bed caught Alanโs eyes. He walked to the bed and inspected the drawing. They werenโt finished yet and were just rough sketches, but they were looking good she had made about 10 sketches. โAre these the ones that youโre drawing for the game?โ he asked her. โYes, they arenโt finished yet, but what do you think?โ she asked him. โWell, they are looking good so far. Especially these three.โ he told her and pointed at the ones he liked. โIโll work on those
The time Lillian spent at the Kingโs villa finally came to an end. She didnโt want to go home, but she knew that sheโd eventually have to. When she got home, Aurora bullied her around the house even more than usual. She pretended to accidentally spill juice on her clothes or bump into her roughly and then blame her for it. One day, while she was away at Zackโs, Aurora threw a tantrum that her favorite earring was gone and that it was Lillian who stole it because she had been eyeing that pair of earring for days. She barged into Lillianโs room and turned it upside down. Aurora found it under the bed and made her parents see this. โSee! I knew that bitch stole it from me!โ she told her parents, holding out her pair of earrings in her palm for them to see. โI canโt believe that after all we did, she would still do this disgusting thing.โ Victor retorted. โDonโt worry, love. We will punish her for this.โ Lisa told her, caressing her daughterโs head. When Lillian came home, Lisa marc
Zack brought her some cold water when she calmed down and sat beside her while Alan stood in front of her with his hands in his pockets. She took a sip from the glass and sniffed. โWanna tell me what happened?โ Zack asked her in a soft tone. She looked at him and told him everything. After she was done, she started crying again, but this time quietly. Zack looked furious while Alan had a calm expression, but on the inside, he was angry as well at her parents. โLillian.โ Alan called her. She looked up at him with teary eyes. โDonโt worry about your education. I will finance you as I sponsor a lot of kids who are struggling with their finances. So, donโt you worry about not getting an education.โ Alan told her. She felt grateful to him and wanted to polietly decline his offer but she was in no position to do so. โThank you.โ She told him with a tight throat. โDonโt worry about it. And you can stay here for as long as you want.โ he told her and then looked at Zack. โTake her to
They went to the dining table together and saw Alan already sitting there, reading his newspaper. โGood morning.โ She greeted him. โGood morning, Lillian.โ He greeted her back, looking at her with a smile. โHow did you sleep?โ โGood.โ she told him. โDo you like the dress?โ he asked her. โYes, itโs beautiful. Thank you.โ she told him. โDonโt thank me. Zack was the one who brought it.โ he told her. โOh.โ she said and looked at Zack, who looked away. She giggled. โThank you, Zack.โ she told him. โDonโt mention it.โ he told her, trying to hide his embarrassment. They took their places in front of Alan, and soon the maids served their breakfast. After they finished eating, Zack cleared his throat, which made Alan look at him. He pointed at Lillian with his head. Alan nodded. Last night, they talked about letting Lillian have a job at the company. Zack promised his father that he would work in the company because Alan always wanted him to join his business, so he agreed. Alan
โAre they idiots? What kind of logic is that?โ He asked her. She just shrugged. โI thought it was normal until I found out that it wasnโt. And then, of course, Aurora took an advantage of that. She told everyone that I was dumb and had failed multiple classes. And that our parents were so embarrassed with me, they changed schools and thatโs why we were studying together.โ She told him. โWow, she was a bitch from the start.โ He said, feeling pissed. โYeah, and hereโs the thing. I never once failed any test, and I always had straight Aโs in class. Meanwhile, Aurora failed her tests and because of that, our parents told the principal to not announce the test or exam results, as it was discouraging. They started bribing the teachers when she could pass her test. And when she sill failed, they would get the teacher fired by saying that, โThey failed her because they didnโt like her.โโ She told him. โYour parents need some serious therapy. As for Aurora, sheโs a lost case. Thereโs no ch
โWhat are you doing here?โ Aurora asked her with a smirk. โDonโt you know that mom and dad are pulling you out of school? They said that they wonโt pay anything for a snake like you who bites the hands of those who feed you.โ Everyone in class started talking badly about her. Aurora smirked, waiting for the horror and hopelessness to appear on her face, but her expression remained unchanged, which annoyed Aurora. Zack place his hand on Lillianโs shoulder and glared at Aurora. โYou can tell your parents that they can shove that money up their asses because my dad decided to sponsor her education.โ He told her angrily. A few students let out audible gasps while Aurora looked at him in disbelief. โThis idiot here? Why? Sheโs stupid and a thief! She has a brain the size of a peanut and she stole my things. Thereโs no guarantee that she wonโt steal from you as well. Sheโs a bloody snake!โ Aurora protested, trying to make him hate her. But Zackโs glaring intensified, and he looked at
After school, the driver picked her and Zack up and drove them to the company. When they got there she got off the car. โGood luck on your first day.โ He told her from the car. She looked at him nervously, standing outside the car, and smiled a little. โThanks. Iโm going to need it.โ She told him. โDonโt worry about it. Even if you make mistakes, remember, itโs okay if you canโt do something or donโt know how to do it. Youโre learning new things.โ He told her. She nodded. โIโll be waiting for you at home,โโ he told her and waved her bye. โTake care and donโt stress yourself too much.โ She waved him back. โBye.โ She told him. โSee you later.โ He told her and then gestured to the driver to set off. When he got home, he went to his room and changed out of his uniform. Someone knocked at his door. โCome in.โ He said. Max came over and looked at Zack. โIs there anything I can help you with, young master?โ He asked him, his eyes were glistening with hope. โNโฆo.โ He told him an
Zack was at home doing his usual stuff, but he was feeling more bored than ever. He turned on the TV, but it bored him as well. He wondered how she was doing. After a few minutes, he started getting irritated because he was feeling so bored. So he went downstairs to find Max, but when he walked down the stairs, he saw Lillian limping as she entered the house. He went down quickly and frowned at her as he inspected her. โWhat happened? Why are you back so soon? And why are you limping?โ He asked her. She didnโt say anything and just hugged him. He looked at her, surprised. โWhat happened?โ He asked her. โJust stay like this for a while.โ She told him in a distressed tone and hugged him tighter. Silent tears escaped her eyes. He realised she screwed up at work and that's why she was like this. He hugged her back and rubbed her back to comfort her. โItโs okay. You did good.โ He told her. โNo, I didnโt. I messed up everything.โ She told him through a tight throat. โDid dad sc
`~1000 Years Later~The world wasnโt 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.โMr. King, the spaceship to earth is ready.โ 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 couldnโt 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 wouldnโt 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.โYouโre forgetting something. Dragon scales arenโt easy to pierce.โ 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 wasnโt 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.โWhat you did to all of us, I will make you pay in full.โ She told him with hatred, landing in front of him.โYou donโt have the guts to kill me.โ Blake told her, getting up.Lillian pulled her leg and kicked him so h
โWhat?!โ Zack asked in shock, getting up. He gripped the phone in his hand.โIt seemed like he had drunk some vampire blood.โ Max told him.โHow?โ Zack asked in a more composed tone.โWe donโt know for sure, but weโฆ found dragon scales in his room. I suspect that the dragon might have come back for revenge.โ Max told him.Zack looked at Lillian. She raised her eyebrow at him.โThe same mistake was made last time. Donโt repeat it again.โ Zack told him.โBut young ma-.โโBut, nothing. Do you understand me? And you will not take any actions without my approval. Do you understand me?โ Zack told him in a cold, hard tone.โYes, young master.โ Max told him.โIโll be there in a few minutes.โ Zack told him and ended the call.โWhat happened?โ she asked him, seeing the worry in his eyes.โ... Someone has poisoned the vampire king like my mother.โ he told her.โHow?โ she asked him, getting up and ignoring the fact that he just referred his father as the vampire King.โI donโt 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.โWhatโs up, Liv?โ she asked her aft
She turned around and gasped, while cupping her mouth with her hands.โLillian, since the first day we met, Iโve known that you would be mine for life. You brought so many changes in me that I didnโt 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?โ 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.โYes.โ 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.โI love you.โ He told her.โAnd I love you.โ 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.โHow I wish I could go back in time and fix everything.โ 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 didnโt 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 didnโt 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.โDo you think that there are aliens on other planets?โ she asked him.โI donโt know. I only know about this planet. Why did you ask that so suddenly?โ he asked her.She shrugged.โIt was just a random thought.โ She told him and then asked one more question she was wondering about. โWhat about parallel universes?โโBabe, I have no idea. I am no scientist.โ He told her and added. โBut maybe there are, and we donโt know that they exist yet. Like humans donโt know that dragons, vampires, werewolves, etc. exist.โShe nodded.โMaybe.โ she said and looked at him with a smile.โWanna stop by your parents before we head home?โ 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 daughterโs 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
