Third person POV :After Lillian left, Chloe immediately said angrily, "Mom, I refuse to raise other people's child. It's not like I can't give birth to my own child."What was more, the child belonged to the woman she hated the most. Just thinking about it made her feel disgusted.Mira patted her hand and smiled comfortingly, "Although the child might not be as adorable as your own, he's your protective talisman. Lillian is right. Without the child, you'll be tortured to death by Queen Meylani when you return to the Amus family. On the contrary, with the baby, Queen Meylani will be good to you for the sake of her grandson.""But what if that little b*tch, Lillian, goes back on her word and return to the Amus family to get her son back? Then, wouldn't I be finished?""Don't worry. She might not even be alive by then," Mira said with a sinister smile.Since she had chosen this plan, she decided to make her plan more long-term oriented. As for Lillian, the scourge, Mira had no intention
Lillian's POV :"Didn't you want me to drink it? So, come and drink it with me. Otherwise, if I don't live to be thirty years old... you will be a widow. How pitiful that would be.""But... this is medicine and I'm not sick..." He kept walking towards me with the bowl in his hands as I back-pedaled until my back hit the sofa."This is traditional Chinese medicine. It won't kill you." Ismail briefly glanced down at the bowl of medicine before looking at me again. "I thought you cared so much about me, but you aren't even willing to make such a small sacrifice for me. It seems that you are no different from other women...""No... I just..." I was tongue-tied, not knowing how to explain things to him.If it weren't for the fact that I was pregnant, even if the medicine was poisonous, I would be willing to drink it for him."Clearly, you don't dare to drink it." Ismail turned around and walked towards the trash can, wanting to pour the medicine away."Wait, don't." I hurriedly grabbed his
Lillian's POV :"Yes, but it doesn't hurt. Mother, don't worry.""He bit your hand. How does that not hurt?" Queen Meylani hurriedly waved at the doctor. "Quick, help Luna with her wound."While we were talking, Queen Meylani helped me to the sofa and sat down.The doctor began to clean the wound for me. Queen Meylani held my other hand and warned, "Chloe, you must avoid Ismail the next time he has an episode. Don't be foolish and stay in the room, allowing him to bite you. Do you understand?""Yes, Mother," I replied obediently.After my wound had been bandaged, the pain subsided. I persuaded Queen Meylani to go back to her room and rest. However, she was still worried. She looked at Ismail on the bed and said, "Why don't you go and sleep in Ismail's room? I'll ask Seth and Lena to come down."Seth and Lena lived on the third floor. They were probably fast asleep since they did not hear the commotion.I shook my head. "It's alright. I took a long nap in the afternoon. I'm not tired a
Lillian's POV :How was that possible? His drip finished two hours ago and I did not feel a pulse.When Ismail saw me standing there in a daze with my face full of tears, he pulled me to bed. Then, he pulled my other hand and placed it on his wrist where his pulse could be felt."Do you feel it? I'm still very much alive." He laughed.Yes, he was very much alive at this moment, but he wasn't earlier!I finally came to my senses. I hit his arm with both hands and yelled, "You lunatic! You did that on purpose!"Ismail grabbed my left arm in a hurry and glanced at my wound. "Be careful not to hurt your wrist.""It's none of your business! You b*stard!" I was so angry. I really thought he was dead because of my carelessness. I felt incredibly guilty, yet he was here messing about with me?"Look, you were the one who almost killed me because you fell asleep. Now, you're scolding me?" Ismail showed me the needle that had been pulled out by him. "If I hadn't woken up in time, you would have
Lillian's POV :I pushed the door open and walked in, only to find that Ismail was not in the room. So, I walked out to the terrace and stood there. I saw at a glance that Ismail was lying on the lounge chair by the swimming pool, looking at his cell phone.The weather was great that day. The sun was shining and there was barely any wind. It was a perfect day to be outdoors.I turned around and went downstairs.Ismail was the only one by the pool. It was so quiet that I could only hear the birds sing. The Amus family house was located in the middle of the suburbs. It was more than ten kilometers away from the city where the air and scenery were terrific. It was a great place for people to live in.I usually spent a lot of time by the pool but rarely saw Ismail there.When I was about to approach Ismail, I unconsciously slowed down and carefully leaned towards him. Then, I squatted behind him and peeked at his phone screen.I was sure that he was watching a movie, but I was wrong. He w
Lillian's perspective"It's fake." Smiling, I sat up from the lounge chair, raised my phone, and said, "It's just a virtual marriage in a game.""A game?" When Hazel looked at my phone screen, the surprise on her face became more intense. She turned to Ismail and grinned. "Ismail, you must have plenty of time, huh.""It's her influence." He jutted his chin at me.Hazel laughed. "So it was. I guess there's truth to 'choose your friends wisely'.""He was so bored and jealous that he went ballistic in the game." My voice got lower with each word. But he still heard me. He reached out his hand and pinched my ear, warning me to watch my word.I chuckled and swayed his arm off. "Did I say anything wrong?"The two of us chatted and laughed. We didn't seem as serious and cautious as we usually were in front of everyone. Hazel looked us up and down, then began to join in on the laughter.After a while, I finally remembered to ask Hazel, "By the way, Hazel, are you here for me or him? Is somet
Lillian's perspectiveOur date this time was surprisingly smooth. Not only did we go to Ocean Park, but we'd also had dinner outside. Then, we went shopping nearby as per my request.It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that I felt that my legs go numb from all the walking. I stole a glance at Ismail and found that there was already an impatient look in his eyes.Despite not wanting our date to end so soon, I could not put him through more of this. I could only say, "Come, let's head back."In fact, it was already beyond my expectation that he had not suggested this himself."Are you sure?" He lowered his head to look at me."Absolutely." I nodded.He was not interested in shopping at all. After hearing what I said, he turned around and walked to the parking lot of the restaurant.While he went to get the car, I waited at the exit.Next to the restaurant was a large-scale babywear store, which happened to be offering a discount for their anniversary celebration. I couldn't help
Third-person perspective.At this time, in a high-end bar, Ismail and Tristan were indeed drinking, but their main purpose was to catch up and not to drink, so their drinking was relatively restrained.Ismail looked at the time and was about to leave when a young woman suddenly walked in from the door of the private room. The woman was charming and had a blazing hot figure. As soon as she entered the room, she cast an alluring glance at Ismail and said, "Well, well, if it isn't the Alpha. I haven't seen you for a long time."Then, she made her way to Tristan, snuggled up to him, sat down, and put her red lips on his. The two tacitly shared a deep and passionate kiss.Crossing his arms in front of his chest, Ismail leaned back on the sofa and glanced at the two of them. "Your secret affair is still going strong?""Don't call it that," she said in a sing-song voice as she let go of Tristan. Then, she sighed. "You still haven't accepted me, have you, Alpha? You're breaking my heart.""I
