Lilith POV I blink my eyes multiple times due to how surprised and confused I was when Don Thierry held my body so close to his; if not for the cozy atmosphere, I would have been choked to death by his actions."I'm fine, sir; it's just a little fall." I informed immediately when I heard his chest rising and falling faster."Is he scared or worried for me? Why?" This question kept popping in and out of my head.He released me, and he turned serious. "I know, but be careful; you haven't worked the money we used to purchase you, so don't think of dying." He stated.Immediately after I heard those words from him, I felt my heart and hopes shred into pieces. "I guess I was expecting too much from him; what was I even thinking? That a person like him could ever care for me? Oh Lilith.""Am I communicating?" He barked, and I shrieked in fear before responding,"Yes, sir!""Good!" With that said, he stood up from her before she walked away from my room.I breathe out, feeling frustrated. "
Lilith POVONE WEEK LATER...Lilly, hurry up!" Flora screamed at me as she dragged my travel trunk away while I was trying to keep up with her steps from behind."Goodness! Can't you slow down a bit?" I complained immediately and managed to catch up to her.She hissed at me after shaking her head. She put our luggage into the bus boot before we hopped into the bus.Jahi, Precioux, and Kilian were already seated inside, so immediately we got inside, the bus driver started the bus, and he began to drive us to the contest destination.FIVE OURS LATER.After a long ride, we got off the bus and walked into a large hotel.Flora walked forward to the receptionist's counter. "Good morning, Miss; we are the contestants of the vipers." She said it with a smile.Oh, you are all welcome to the global hotel and event center; please have your pass card." She stated this before handing the card to Flora."You will find your suite on the thirteenth floor." She informed me with a professional smile.A
Lilith POV"I will slice off your throat and feed it to the vultures!" I replied in my head, fuming in anger for putting me in a sad mood earlier."Miss Lilith?" The man called at me, and I jerked up from my thoughts."I'm so sorry. I will first appreciate my supporters for their support; I will distribute the prizes I won to the less fortunate; and lastly, I will serve the people with my whole heart." I answered with an unsteady voice because I have lost the confidence I once had."Alright, Miss Lilith, thank you for your time. We would go through your answers while you wait in the hall for the results, please." The middle-aged man announced, and I smiled sadly at them before standing up from my seat."Damn!" I facepalmed myself immediately. I got outside, and my chest was rising and falling at a rapid pace, making my breath move slightly slower than usual.MINUTES LATER......We all saw the woman named Bianca Cowwells walk onto the stage again with a professional smile on her face.
Author POV After the exchange of pleasantries, the young man offered a seat for Flora, and she quickly sat down with a smile. She tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear before saying, "I'm Flora Vipers, and you?""Liam Axford," he said to her with a smile."Wow, nice name; it seems you are quite a visitor here." She started a conversation. "Oh! Not really darling." Liam replied to her, making Flora blush at the mention of the word 'darling.""I actually came here to attend a friend's party tonight; it's just that it will be hosted in this hotel, so I had to lounge." He explained it to her. "Nice!" Flora nodded her head; she was still brainstorming how to keep the conversation going."Do you want to attend? I'm sure it's really going to be fun?" He proposed to her with a charming smile. "Really!" She muttered something out, feeling delighted to get such a request.Liam nodded at her before keeping on his cutlery and then began to eat the food that had been served. They kept th
Lilith's POVI felt my body struck by several shockwaves at the turn of events."Have you gone insane?" Let go of me right now!" I yelled, still feeling confused about what was happening."Why? Lie that you don't want me? I saw the feelings you have for me in those eyes of yours, so admit it, you want me, right?" He blunted out to me."Jeez! Fine, you caught me, but you belong to somebody else, which is my friend. Now let go." I begged."No, I want you, not her!" He declared, barking back at me before pressing his lips against mine, that the kiss was rough, intense, but soothing, and I felt really drunk by it."Goodness, Lilith, you can't betray Flora," I spoke in my head, and the next thing I knew, I felt his fingers sip into the open part of my gown at the side of my breasts before finding their way to my nipple.He pitched me hard while his other hand was roaming on the rim of my pants. I felt my body heat up in a second, and his chamomile scent made matters worse as it completely
Luckily for Thierry, before the bullet could hit him, his men had already pulled him away.They raced with his half-dead body to the car and immediately drove him to the nearest hospital.After he was admitted and operated on, a message was sent to Don Air.HOURS LATER........"Where is my son?" He barked at the doctor in rage as soon as he entered the hospital. The young doctor, who was just exiting the theater room after finishing the operation, flinched back in fear."Please calm down, sir; he was lucky to be brought here on time; the operation was successful, but he is still in a critical condition." The doctor explained.Don Air glared at the young doctor without saying a word before turning to face his son's bodyguard."Where did he go to that made him almost killed?" He demanded in a deadly tone, making the men fear if their lives would be spared."He went to Master Ezekiel Wells' resident!" Jace blunts out quickly while secretly taking a step backwards to avoid the man as muc
Author POVThe moment Lilith realized two members of their team had been eliminated from the competition, she felt really down.The only person that she called a friend has been removed, leaving her with only Kilian and Jahi.With a tingling pain in her heart, she walked back to her room in order to go and take a rest.Flora wasn't able to say her goodbyes to Lilith because when you are eliminated from the contest, you must leave immediately.Flora and Precioux could be seen carrying their travel trunk with a sad smile as they exited the building and entered the vehicle that would take them back home.Flora wasn't actually sad because she failed in the contest; rather, she was sad because she wouldn't be able to spend more time with her new-found lover. Nevertheless, they both decided to keep in touch after the intimate night they had together.____&&&____During the evening, Lilith was sent to go and fetch the outfit they would be wearing for tomorrow's task since Flora, who used to
Author POV"You stinky bitch!" Jahi groan in rage and race towards Lilith; she pulled her hair hardly, delivering a series of slaps at her face.The other contestants stared at the two ladies in awe; the fight, or rather beating scene, caused a ruckus in the dressing room due to some good Samaritan trying to separate them.One succeeded in pulling Jahi away from Lilith, but she was still vibrating to go back and teach the girl a lesson."You! I'm going to kill you; how dare you ruin my dress?" She barks at her."I don't; I swear I'm not the one, please." Lilith began to cry and beg, trying to defend herself. She didn't open the boxes to check if the outfit was okay or not because she thought there wasn't any need for that.She really couldn't understand how the dress got torn like that, but in Jahi's eyes, she was the one who tampered with it."You better be ready for what you have signed up for." With that said, she stormed out of the room.In the corner of the room, Killian could be
