Lillian POVIt has been two weeks, and I haven’t seen Asher much since that night, and that is because I have been avoiding him. I don’t know how to approach him or what to say to him. Anytime I think about how foolish I have been, I just feel disgust running through my body. I know we are both at fault, but I am not ready to face the reality of our actions yet. Maybe I am now being the coward I called him, but right now, running away from my problems seems to be the best. And besides, he has been busy with Alma’s children.They told Asher to pretend we don’t know what was going on because, mysteriously, Jose was back, and he gave the excuse that his daughter was terribly sick. Asher sent out spies to confirm this, and they said none of his children were sick; in fact, they don’t live with him because they are all grown, so that further confirmed what Mirabel said. I don’t know what is happening; it’s Rico who has been updating me. I should probably be there in the meetings they are d
Lillian POVI quickly flipped the page of the sketch as he walked towards me. It was a suspicious act with the way I flipped it too fast, but he didn’t act like he saw it and just sat beside me with the tray on his laps.“Hey,” he said, and I just smiled awkwardly.“Irish said you haven’t eaten all day, so I brought food for you,” he said. I cleared my throat.“Yes, thank you,” I said, taking the tray. But before I could take it, he let go of it, and the tray floated in the middle of us. He did that a lot in the past, so it did not faze me. I opened the food, and I noticed it was a lot.“You brought yours here too, didn’t you?” I asked, looking at him. He chuckled.“Yes,” he said. I rolled my eyes at him, facing the food. There were pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs, fruit salad, and other light foods. I served myself the pancakes and served him the waffles because he likes them more than pancakes. Then I poured honey on it, adding scrambled eggs by the side.“You still remember,” he s
Lillian POVI pulled back, my forehead on his, as I breathed out, looking down at his plump lips. He wrapped his arms around my waist, not saying anything."You talk too much," I said, my voice raspy."I don’t mind being shut up like that," he replied. I chuckled, looking into his eyes."Do you forgive me?" he asked."No," I said, making him frown."Make me love you again, then I will forgive you," I said, knowing I have nothing against him."So, you are giving me a chance?" he asked."Yes, don’t disappoint me," I said. He smiled, giving me a kiss."Thank you; I promise not to disappoint," he said. And I chuckled, unwrapping my arms from his neck. I am just going to pretend he doesn’t have an erection."Asher!" a shrill voice yelled, and I turned back, and Jasmine was there, staring at us with tears falling down her eyes, and I wondered why she was crying; he is both our husbands, so why the tears?"How could you do this to me?" she cried, dropping the tray in her hands. I came down f
Lillian POVIt has been two weeks since the discussion with Asher, and we have both been working on our relationship. We haven’t kissed or done anything intimate because we are taking our time. We have gone on dates, done a lot of work, done things we enjoy doing, and had fun with Zira and Darius. The maids and guards have been looking at us a lot, and Rico told me everyone is happy to see us together, well, everyone except Jasmin. It didn’t feel nice that we left her out, so I invited her to brunch today with me and Asher. They both don’t know what I am up to, but I just figured if we all want to live peacefully, we have to be on good terms, hence the brunch."Are you expecting someone?" Asher asked, looking at me curiously. I looked away from the door."Yes," I said, knowing there was no need to hide it since she would be on her way."Who?" he asked."Jasmin," I replied, taking a sip of my drink. He frowned."Why did you invite her here?" he asked. I breathed out, holding his hand.
Asher POVI walk down the hallway, heading to the room. Today has been a bit of a long day. After brunch, I got an emergency call. The girls in the military zone were rebelling, and I had to go there to intervene. I have been there before, but not all the time because I wanted to spend time with Lillian. The whole place is dark and silent because it is late in the night, and I know she would have slept. I got to the room and opened the door. She was sleeping peacefully on the bed. I went towards the bed and sat on the edge, looking at her.I looked at the rise and fall of her chest. Even in her sleep, she looks so beautiful. I am so happy we are on good terms now. I want nothing to come between us again, and I just want to spend my remaining days loving her like I should. I bent down and kissed her forehead, then I adjusted the covers, covering her well. I stood up, heading to the closet. I removed my clothes, kept them in the basket, and headed to the shower. I breathed out as the wa
Lillian POVAsher and I walked down the hospital hallway hand in hand, each with different thoughts. It has been two weeks since we officially got back together, and those two weeks have been filled with non-stop fucking—garden, study, closet, on the floor, bathroom wall, our quarters hallway, every damn where, and at some point I wondered if the guards were hearing us because he never fails to make me scream out my lungs, but thankfully he is a demon and he can block out my screams from everyone except him, and boy did he make sure I scream.We have also been checking on Jose and his crew, and we have concluded that we will attack in two weeks' time. Today, however, during the meeting, we got information that they rushed Jasmin to labour. She has been in labour for about 2 hours, and we just got another piece of information that she has given birth, so we are on our way. Asher doesn’t seem too happy, and I am sure he has forgotten about it. I am happy about the child, even though now
Lillian POVToday is D-Day, the day we will be attacking the shadow monsters. Actually, we had to wait a bit because we wanted Jose to be there so Octavia could capture him. According to the spy, Jose is in their base, and now we are going to attack. I won’t lie, but I am probably the least interested in this war or whatever it is. I just want peace and to forget everything linking to Alma, but I know that would be a lie because Mirabel is really a pain in the neck. She barges in when I am in the garden, and sometimes Asher is there with me. I have warned her to stay away from my garden, but she said, and I quote, How can I stay away when my best friend is there and I am bored? I don’t know how I became her best friend, but all I know is that whenever she bursts in again when I am with Asher, I won’t even bother telling her to leave and just focus on the sexy man in front of me."Where are you?" Asher’s soft voice breaks into my mind."I will be there; give me five minutes," I mind li
Lillian POV"Lillian," a voice called, shaking me. I turned around slightly, opening my eyes."We are here," Asher said. I sat up, looking around, and everywhere was dark and gloomy. This gives me that chilling feeling that hell gave me. I can’t believe I slept throughout the journey. I must have been tired, I thought, yawning."Where is my helmet?" I asked, touching my head. He carried it up, placing it on my head."I removed it because it was too heavy for you to sleep," he said, adjusting my hair. Then he turned me around on Sky. I looked down, and I couldn't see anything, but I felt like there was something here. Suddenly the wind became very harsh, blowing us harshly, but Sky flew through it, and it was like we were sucked into another dimension because in front of me was a big mansion.There were monsters flying around; there were growls, howls, and swords clashing. This place was dark; hideous monsters made themselves known, and the air smelled like death. I pull down my helmet
Asher POV The music changed and was louder; the whole place was dark. The door opened, revealing Archie. Silver is on his right, and Dean is on his left. The three of them wear the same golden robes. The robes are long, flowing behind them. Their hair was gelled backwards, and their faces were void of any emotion as they walked in perfect sync. I feel proud looking at Archie. He looks so much like Silver; the only difference is his hair. They could mistake them for twins, and his aura matched Silver’s. They both have the same aura; now I get why Dean never wants to be king. In terms of power and strength, he is no match for Archie; Archie is powerful for his age. But one thing I know is that their bond is very strong, and they will always look out for each other. I heard someone sniffing, and I turned to Lillian, who was cleaning her tears. "Please, not now," I begged in my mind, holding her hand. "Look at them, Asher; I just wish my father was here," she said. I sighed. "He will
Five Years LaterAsher POV"Are you ready?" I asked, entering the room with Zira behind me. She breathed out, looking back at me."Yes," she said, standing up and stretching her back. I chuckled as she adjusted her hair. I peck her cheeks, rubbing her small bump as she breathes out."You look so dazzling in this dress," I said, admiring her golden dress. She is wearing a stunning gold dress. The dress is long, tightening her curves in the right places, including her small but obvious bump. The back of the dress is low, showing her beautiful and creamy skin. I used her long hair to cover her back, as I didn’t want anybody staring at her. She rolled her eyes."Not now, Asher," she said, turning to face me. I chuckled, still adjusting her hair."Is everyone ready?" she asked."Yes, we are waiting for her honourable majesty to be done with her dressing," I said."Okay, let’s go," she said, checking herself out again."Mom, you look good. Let’s go," Zira said. Lillian turned to her, lookin
Lillian POVThe sound of someone crying woke me up from my sleep. I opened my eyes slowly, adjusting my eyesight to the light. I looked up a bit, and I saw Asher crying on my stomach. I looked at him, confused, wondering why he was crying. I have been in the hospital for three days now and my body is feeling better. I have been sleeping a lot and I feel it’s because of the drugs. I have been eating at a slow rate and still vomiting, but otherwise I am fine, so I do not know why he is crying so hard on my stomach."Did someone die?" I asked, putting my hand on his head. He looked up at me, his eyes red, and I wondered how long he had been crying. He didn’t reply to me, instead he hugged me to himself, still crying. The last time Asher cried like this was when we lost our pup and found out we can’t have a child again and I was scared, wondering what happened again."What is it Asher? You are scaring me," I said, pulling back. He moved back, smiling and cleaning his tears."You won’t bel
Lillian POV "For your punishment, your family and you will pay all expenses made in the kingdom. Any expense not covered by the little prince and any expense you make that is not from the money given to you will be paid. All the rank you and your family once had will be removed, and now you are just a common villager. You and your family are blocked from nearing the palace, and as a punishment for deceiving the king, you will spend a complete 10 years on the farm. I would have allowed you to see your son, but you treated him horribly. I will see to it he knows his mother, and if one day he wishes to see his mother, he will be permitted," I said. She fell to her knees, tears falling from her eyes. I know her family is terribly broke because they spent all the money. Yes, I did my research. They are officially blocked from the palace, which means everyone will know of their crimes, and they might never find a good place to work that will earn them enough to pay their debt. Technically,
Lillian POVWe entered the throne room, and everyone was there. And by everyone, I mean the elders, Jasmin, I, and Asher. Everyone greeted us as we entered, except Jasmin. I smirked internally. I am doing this in front of everyone, so when I give her the punishment, the world won’t say I was supposed to kick her out, and besides, she is a nuisance. Asher was a bit confused, as he has not seen Jasmin since the time we visited her in the hospital. We sat down on our thrones, and I just smiled at everyone while they all had confused faces. We are in the morning; we don’t do meetings in the morning."Good morning, your majesty. Why have you called this urgent meeting so early in the morning?" the elder in front of me asked. And they all turned to me, including Asher."Yes, I believe Queen Jasmin here has something to tell us. Perhaps a secret," I said, and they all turned to her. She looked at me back, confused."I don’t have any secrets," she said."Are you sure?" I asked."Yes, I am ver
One Month Later**********************Lillian POVI gagged into the toilet, my stomach turning like something was twisting my intestine."Gently," Asher said, rubbing my back as he held my hair up. I couldn’t reply to him as I vomited all the foods and snacks I ate in the night, my throat hurting. I breathe out, moving back a bit as my body is so exhausted."Damn," I mumbled, opening my eyes, and just seeing my vomit made my unsettled stomach rile up again. I hold the toilet, vomiting every left food in my stomach. After I was done, I sat on the floor weakly."Are you okay?" he asked. I nod my head. He helped me up and took me to the zinc weekly. Then I washed my mouth, feeling empty."You have to go to the hospital," he said, taking my brush."I’m fine," I mumbled."You are not fine; you look pale," he said. I looked at him, and he looked worried, but I can’t go anywhere today as I planned on exposing Jasmin today. Everything is ready; no sickness can stop me."Trust me, I’m fine,"
Lillian POVWe are in the afternoon, and we just got to the palace. The injured warriors have been rushed to the infirmary, and the uninjured have gone to freshen up. We are supposed to freshen up, but Asher called a meeting with the elders, and now we are on our way. We got to the throne room, and they were all smiling. Obviously, the entire kingdom is aware of what happened in the night, and they are all rejoicing, but Asher wasn’t smiling at them. His face was tainted with blood, and it also stained his armour with blood, which he refused to clean. He looked dangerous with his blank face and the bloody sword he was holding in his hand."Your majesties," they greet, bowing. I took my seat while Asher stood."We have heard the news, your majesty. We are victorious, and the kingdom rejoices with you," an elder says."Where are Jose and Martin?" he asked. They looked at each other, confused, and I wonder what he was playing out when he knows they were dead."We do not know, your majest
Lillian POVI don’t know how long it has been, but I have saved so many warriors and also killed so many shadow monsters, and those things are hard to kill, so I electrified them before killing them and that works like a charm. The field is ugly and smelly, dead bodies everywhere. You can’t walk around the field freely. The stench is awful and the monsters keep increasing."You guys need to see this," Silver mind link. I looked at Octavia at the far end. We can’t kill all of them, their strength can’t be compared to ours and if this continues we would get exhausted fast. The warriors are already exhausted and barely surviving."Get everyone to safety!" I yelled. "Okay, you guys go!" she yelled back. Asher came to me and he teleported us to Silver. I looked at the seal and it was twirling dangerously, like the bigger seal she did, water spurting out."It’s changing color," Silver said, and truly the water was changing into a bright pink. Then it twirls harder, changing into a dark red
