Uh ohhh!! Has Lily digged her own grave?
“The gang Louis belongs to is SNAKERS and I know who the gang leader is,” Lily revealed, biting her lips nervously. Her heart was racing and her hands were shaking. She never thought that she would let the secret out so soon. Saying it now, she realized that she might have dug her own grave.Tony looked like he had seen a ghost. He knew Louis was a dangerous man but hearing what gang he belonged to made him wonder how Lily had coped with such a man for five years.Only a person who had been living under a rock wouldn’t know who the SNAKERS were. Their unknown boss controlled half of Paris and even though they were known for their illegal deeds, no policeman or detective was brave enough to go after them.“What the fuck, Lily?” Tony sighed and shut his eyes out of frustration. “Why did you have to meet a man like that? I can't imagine what you must have had to endure. Keeping a secret like that must have been hard.” Tony sympathized with her, caressing her face with his palm.“Does he
Lily spent the rest of the day thinking of a way to meet with Louis. Even though she sounded confident while talking with Tony, the truth was that she was scared deep down. Even after living with him for three years, she was still terrified of him. When she left Louis, knocked out on the ground a few meters away from the hospital, she was convinced she would have no reason to return to him. But, here she was, looking for a way to speak to him without getting killed or kidnapped. She would be incredibly lucky if Louis didn’t harm her when she met with him. With shaky hands, Lily pulled out her hold phone from the drawer and switched it on. She held her breath as the phone came back to life after days of no usage. As expected, the phone dinged repeatedly as soon as it came alive. There were countless texts and missed calls from Louis. He had been sending a new text every day since she left, followed by calls. Lily couldn’t believe that he was the only person who still called or even
When they arrived at ‘The Fred’s’ it was already 6:02 pm. Tony turned off the car engine and turned to Lily only to see her hands shaking and her face pale like she had just seen a ghost.“Lily?” He called out but her mind was far gone. “Lily!” He called out again, loudly this time, and also tapped her. Thankfully, she jerked back into consciousness, blinking her eyes severally.“Y..yes?” She stammered with fear written all over her face. Tony understood that she was worried and nervous about meeting Louis so, he grabbed her hand slowly and pulled her in for a hug.“I’ll be watching every second of your conversation, Lily. You have nothing to worry about.” He assured and Lily nodded slowly. “All you need to do is swap his phone with yours since you said they are both similar, then, you’d use the restroom and install the app into his phone. I’ll take it from there, okay?” He explained and Lily nodded again.“I got it. Thank you.” She whispered as she pulled out of the hug. “I’ll go in
As Lily stepped out of the restaurant, her body shook with fear, and her mind was disturbed. She knew Louis well enough so, she was certain he wasn’t a bluffer.‘Would he harm Tony?’ She thought as she took slow strides out of the building. Lily knew it would kill her if anything were to happen to Tony because of her.Lily was still deep in thought when she felt her body crash into a wall….a person, rather.“I’m so sorry.” Lily apologized without raising her head and was about to leave but was pulled back by this person. Wondering who it was, Lily lifted her head only to be met with Tony staring at her.“Are you okay?” Tony asked with a worried expression. “You’re going in the wrong direction. The car is this way.” He pointed in the opposite direction and Lily looked around, finally realizing that she had been walking to the wrong street when the car was the other way.“Oh…” She blinked and bit her lips nervously.“What happened in there, Lily? What did he say to make you this way?” T
Later that night, Lily tossed and turned in her bed as thoughts of her meeting with Louis filled her mind. There was a voice in her head telling her that she needed to let Tony know about Louis’s threat but, Lily kept ignoring the voice and pushing it to the back of her head. She felt that she had bothered him enough with her problems, so, she was going to try solving this without his help. “You know that’s not possible, Lily.” She whispered, facepalming herself as she groaned loudly. As much as she hated to admit it, she needed Tony if she wanted to put Louis in his place forever. So, with a new conviction, she jumped to her feet and headed to Tony’s room, completely forgetting that she was only putting on flimsy nightwear with no underwear. Without second thoughts, Lily knocked on Tony’s door slowly and played with her fingers as she waited for a response. Fifteen seconds later, the door opened to reveal a bare-chested Tony and loose gray sweatpants hanging on his waist.
Lily’s body stiffened as soon as his lips came down on hers. The surrounding air was thick and, for the first time in a long time, Lily forgot about her worries. All that mattered to her at that moment was the feel of Tony’s lips on hers. She would be lying if she said she had never imagined this moment, but none of her imagination could compare to the reality she was now living in. ‘Tony’s lips are on mine.’ She thought briefly, butterflies swarming in her tummy. His lips were soft, and his kiss was gentle, nothing like Louis's. Because of Louis, Lily despised sexual acts of any kind, but as she sat under Tony’s hold, trapped in his gentleness, she realized that she didn’t want that moment to end. Sensing her brief hesitation, Tony bit down on Lily’s lips, causing her to gasp and part her lips. He used that opportunity to deepen the kiss, plunging his tongue into her mouth. The warmth from his mouth caused a moan to slip out of Lily’s lips. She shifted closer to hi
“You are no different from Louis! All you people want is to control my life. I am not a fucking child!” Lily screamed and stormed out of the dining table, her body shaking in anger.‘Lily! Wait.” Rachael tried to stop her but Lily paid her no mind.When Rachael turned to Tony, she saw a gloomy look on his face and immediately knew that he was hurt by Lily’s words.“She didn’t mean it, Tony. You know that, right?” Rachael asked calmly and Tony nodded before running his hands through his hair.“I know, Rachael but, there must be some truth in what she said for her to have voiced it out. Maybe she has been having that thought for a while.” He sighed, pain written all over him.“Now that I think about it, she isn’t so wrong. We need to get her consent before doing things for her. It doesn’t matter if what we want is best for her. She is not a child that we can make decisions for. We still need to ask for her consent.” Rachael explained calmly, hoping it would make Tony understand Lily.Sh
After their heartfelt conversation, Tony and Lily finally went downstairs to finish their breakfast and head to the hospital. As Rachael saw them walking down the stairs with their hands intertwined, a smile appeared and a sigh of relief left her lips. “I guess all is well then?” She asked with a cheesy grin that made Tony roll his eyes while Lily blushed before nodding slowly. “All is sorted out now.” She replied, smiling from ear to ear. “I won’t be taking any bodyguards to work though, nor will I take a leave from work. He understands that now.” She added, looking up at Tony, who had a repentant look on his face. Rachael shifted her gaze to Tony, raising her brows at him, asking if Lily was right. “Yes, Rachael. Lily won’t be doing any of that. She has decided to face her fears and fight them.” He replied, staring at Lily with pride. “Oh! That was completely unexpected.” Rachael said, her tone laced with pure shock. “But, I believe in you, Lily.” She added with a
