Third person perspective"I'm not as cheap as Angeline!"Lillian turned around and left after saying that."Alpha!" Angeline covered her face with her hands, her eyes red as she looked at Ismail with a pitiful look.But Ismail glanced at Angeline with indifference, furrowed his brow, and quickly caught up with Lillian.Due to the dim lighting and the crowd inside the bar, he could only watch Lillian's figure from a distance as she moved through the crowd. By the time he made his way through the crowd and exited the bar, he couldn't see Lillian anymore.Ismail paused at the bar's entrance for a few seconds. After looking around, he finally decided to go to the riverside. He noticed from a long time ago that Lillian liked to go to the riverside, no matter if she was angry or sad.When Ismail arrived at the riverside, he saw Lillian crying there. He slowed down and stood behind her. Staring at her, he said with a gloomy face, "Before I explain to you the relationship between me and Angel
Lillian's perspectiveJust a moment ago, I had a terrible dream. I dreamed about Ismail finding out I was pregnant, and he got so angry that he choked me and forced me to the windowsill with each step. We were on the 30th floor of the building. If I fell, I would die upon impact. Nevertheless, Ismail grabbed my neck and pushed my upper body out of the window, threatening me with gritted teeth to either die or have an abortion.I cried and begged him to let us go, yet he only spat two words: "Dream on!"I finally woke up, but the moment I opened my eyes, I saw Ismail standing by my bed, holding the drip bottle in his hand.My heart skipped a beat in an instant, because I had no idea what he wanted to do and whether he knew that I was pregnant.A cold smile formed on Ismail's face as he shook the bottle in his hand. "Medicine to protect the baby? Is this necessary?""What do you mean-" I instinctively placed my hands on my abdomen, wondering if my baby was safe.Only when I felt that th
Lillian's perspectiveIsmail observed every single one of my reactions. It seemed that he had calmed down over the night and was no longer behaving madly. However, his cold eyes were still as daunting as ever.He unfolded his hands before his chest and put them down, then took a few steps forward to stand before my bed. He stared at me and said, "Didn't you always want to know how my mother left this world?"I was stunned. For a moment, I did not understand why he suddenly asked this question.I once asked Ismail about his parents, but he had avoided this topic resolutely. At that moment, I understood that the death of his parents had left a deep scar in his heart. I should not have poked at his wound. Hence, since that day, I never asked about his parents again, even if I had always been curious about them.Seeing that I did not answer him, Ismail continued, "I was kept in an incubator for two months since I was born. I was only a few months old,
Lillian's POVMy body recovered after staying in the hospital for two days.However, my mood did not improve at all.I remember when Ismail left the ward the previous morning, he said that he would give me two days to think about it before giving him an answer.Then, he left and did not appear until then.Ismail hoped that I would get rid of the baby and was sure that I would. I had never been in such a difficult situation as I did in the past two days.Twenty minutes later, Ismail showed up.He stood in front of me and looked at me. He asked calmly, "Have you decided?"I sat on the edge of the bed, obviously waiting for him to come over. I looked at him and said in a calm tone, "Ismail, let's get a divorce."Yes. This was my decision after thinking for two days.Ismail's face changed slightly. His temper sparked. He asked coldly, "What did you say?""I said I want a divorce," I repeated.I initially
Lillian's POV"You've threatened me enough. You should go back with peace of mind, right?" I sneered.Mira seemed to feel that she would be looking for trouble if she stayed any longer. She gave me a few last words of advice and turned to leave.After Mira left, Queen Meylani came up and told me that I should not stay in the bedroom all day for the sake of my baby.Although I did not want to go out, I had to listen to Queen Meylani, so I decided to take walk in the garden.The Amus family house was huge. It was so big that it took me a whole day to finish walking the place. I walked from the main house to the backyard and slowly strolled through the garden full of flowers.The ancestral temple of the Amus' family was up ahead. Ever since I snuck in that place, I had never gotten close to it again. I did not encounter anything spooky. I would still be afraid whenever I thought of it.As I stared at the ancestral temple from a distance, I felt my hair stand on end.I stopped and did not
Lillian's POVI glared at him angrily. "That's very childish of you.""I forgot to tell you that the doctor said that I can't bleed too much and I can't be infected. Otherwise, I would get hemophagocytic syndrome." He was still smiling. He gently stroked my lower abdomen. "Do you know what that is? It's an incurable disease. It's even worse than leukemia and cancer..."His voice became softer and weaker. Then, his body sank down and he fell beside me.I stared at him blankly for a moment. Then, I instinctively cried out in a low voice, "Alpha! Are you okay?"I did not expect that he would suddenly faint. He was fine just now. How could this happen...Ismail had always been in poor health. He lost so much blood after getting drunk. Was his illness recurring? I did not know what to do at this moment.I rushed to get the first aid kit in a panic. I dialed the doctor's number with one hand while I cleaned the wound on his hand with the other.The phone was connected, but it was cut off af
Third person POVIsmail did not want to make Queen Meylani unhappy, so he followed Hazel out of the dining room to have his wound treated.Once Hazel was done, Ismail went back to the dining table to have breakfast. By then, everyone else had finished eating. At the dining table, there were only Queen Meylani, Hazel and him.Hazel could sense that Queen Meylani had intentionally stayed at the table, so she took a piece of bread from the plate and said to the two of them, "Queen Meylani, Ismail, you guys enjoy your breakfast. I'll go to work first."After Hazel left, Queen Meylani turned to Ismail and said, "Did you manage to find the girl that the witch asked you to find?"Ismail did not expect that his mother would suddenly ask this question. He stopped eating and said, "Not yet.""Did you even try to find her or not?""I did. I couldn't find her," said Ismail."Who is this girl? Why is it so hard to find her?" Queen Meylani became anxious. Lillian seemed like she did not care about
Third-person perspective.In the store, Ismail was lounging on the sofa and flipping through a magazine when his phone pinged. He quickly finished skimming through the article in the magazine before he reached for his phone and clicked on the message:"Your card has been charged $1600."He had given his secondary card to no one else but Lillian, while the rest of the women he commonly paid off using cheques.He'd given her the card back then because she had returned the clothes, and he'd needed her to repurchase them. She had never swiped the card again until the one thousand-plus dollars this day.He was wondering what she'd spent the money on when the door of the locker room suddenly opened. In waltzed Katrina, clad in a seductive dress, standing in front of him with a smile. "What do you think? Is this okay?"Looking her up and down from head to toe, he stuffed his phone back into his pocket and stood up from the sofa. He raised his uninjured hand and adjusted the rose on her shoul
