They were driving to the villa and Alan himself was driving the car. When they were leaving, she saw the pissed look on Aurora’s face. This was the first time she was not given something she wanted. Internally, Lillian felt happy that she didn’t get to have her way this time. She looked at Zack, who was sitting beside her and scrolling on his phone. Then she looked at Alan in the rearview mirror. “How long will it take to reach there, Mr. King?” She asked him. Alan sighed in defeat. “Just call me Alan. I told you countless times.” He told her. “Sorry, I just don’t feel uncomfortable calling you out by your first name.” She told him apologetically. “But if you keep saying it, then you’ll get used to it.” He told her. “Feel lucky that he’s not asking you to call him dad.” Zack said in a bored tone. Lillian looked at him, confused, while Alan laughed. “That’s a great idea!” Alan exclaimed. “You can call me dad too if you want.” She gave him a nervous smile and sat back down on
She sat near the edge of the pool and moved her legs in the water. After a few minutes, Zack joined her, wearing only his swimming trunks. She looked back when she heard footsteps and saw him half naked. He had a good build, six-pack abs, and a very toned body. He was like a model. “What are you staring at?” He asked her and looked at her suspiciously. “You could be a model you know with that body.” She told him. ‘Done that.’ He thought. He walked closer to the pool. “It’s boring.” He told her. “What do you want to do, then?” She asked him. “Haven’t really thought about it. What about you?” He asked her. “I wanna be a graphic designer.” She smiled at him. He looked at her. “That’s why you’re always drawing.” He said. She nodded. “I love drawing.” She told him. “That’s good that you know what you want to do.” He told her. “Yeah. By the way, what’s with the sudden renovation?” She asked him. “Don’t even ask. It was annoying.” He told her. ~A few Hours ago~ Zack what’s
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. “Thank you.” She told him with a small smile. “No problem, dear. What were you doing?” he asked her. “Just taking a break.” She told him. She took the tray to the desk and put it there. The drawings spread around the bed caught Alan’s eyes. He walked to the bed and inspected the drawing. They weren’t finished yet and were just rough sketches, but they were looking good she had made about 10 sketches. “Are these the ones that you’re drawing for the game?” he asked her. “Yes, they aren’t finished yet, but what do you think?” she asked him. “Well, they are looking good so far. Especially these three.” he told her and pointed at the ones he liked. “I’ll work on those
The time Lillian spent at the King’s villa finally came to an end. She didn’t want to go home, but she knew that she’d 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 Zack’s, 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 Lillian’s room and turned it upside down. Aurora found it under the bed and made her parents see this. “See! I knew that bitch stole it from me!” she told her parents, holding out her pair of earrings in her palm for them to see. “I can’t believe that after all we did, she would still do this disgusting thing.” Victor retorted. “Don’t worry, love. We will punish her for this.” Lisa told her, caressing her daughter’s 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. “Wanna tell me what happened?” 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. “Lillian.” Alan called her. She looked up at him with teary eyes. “Don’t worry about your education. I will finance you as I sponsor a lot of kids who are struggling with their finances. So, don’t you worry about not getting an education.” Alan told her. She felt grateful to him and wanted to polietly decline his offer but she was in no position to do so. “Thank you.” She told him with a tight throat. “Don’t worry about it. And you can stay here for as long as you want.” he told her and then looked at Zack. “Take her to
They went to the dining table together and saw Alan already sitting there, reading his newspaper. “Good morning.” She greeted him. “Good morning, Lillian.” He greeted her back, looking at her with a smile. “How did you sleep?” “Good.” she told him. “Do you like the dress?” he asked her. “Yes, it’s beautiful. Thank you.” she told him. “Don’t thank me. Zack was the one who brought it.” he told her. “Oh.” she said and looked at Zack, who looked away. She giggled. “Thank you, Zack.” she told him. “Don’t mention it.” 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
“Are they idiots? What kind of logic is that?” He asked her. She just shrugged. “I thought it was normal until I found out that it wasn’t. 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 that’s why we were studying together.” She told him. “Wow, she was a bitch from the start.” He said, feeling pissed. “Yeah, and here’s the thing. I never once failed any test, and I always had straight A’s 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, ‘They failed her because they didn’t like her.’” She told him. “Your parents need some serious therapy. As for Aurora, she’s a lost case. There’s no ch
“What are you doing here?” Aurora asked her with a smirk. “Don’t you know that mom and dad are pulling you out of school? They said that they won’t pay anything for a snake like you who bites the hands of those who feed you.” 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 Lillian’s shoulder and glared at Aurora. “You can tell your parents that they can shove that money up their asses because my dad decided to sponsor her education.” He told her angrily. A few students let out audible gasps while Aurora looked at him in disbelief. “This idiot here? Why? She’s stupid and a thief! She has a brain the size of a peanut and she stole my things. There’s no guarantee that she won’t steal from you as well. She’s a bloody snake!” Aurora protested, trying to make him hate her. But Zack’s glaring intensified, and he looked at
`~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
