When a waiter reached them, Shane and Lilian got settled on their seats again and Shane gave an order for food, something Lilian wasn't familiar with but she didn't say anything though.

When the waiter left, Shane turned to Lilian. Thinking of something, he spoke up, "As you already know, I am Shane. Shane Lockwood, CEO of Lockwood Corporations."

"Family business?" Lilian cut in but the next moment, she regretted it as Shane's expression got changed into an unpleasant one.

"Well, it's true that it's my family business. But I didn't inherit the company because of this only. I had earned this title after many years of hard work. Getting the company just like that was not one of the things I was spoiled with. And my father still holds the highest position as the Chairman of Lockwood Corporations." Shane explained much to his irritation.

He had always wanted to do something on his own. But because of his father's health condition and with an intention to put an end to the family disput

    Shane was totally unprepared for this. What should I do now? Shane got asking himself. Being an orphan wasn't her fault. His grandma was never going to make a fuss with it, he was sure about it but his not knowing it..Well, it's your turn now, Lilian.Lilian thought to herself and came to make up, "Shane, I am sorry. I know you don't like it whenever I say this. You have told me many times not to think and even talk like this but we can't lie about it, right? Granny, I mean Ma'am needs to know the truth."Shane stared at Lilian's face confusedly as it took him some time and finally when he realized her thought, he tried to reciprocate that way.He also added his words to put some more cents' worth to this drama, "Yes, Lilian. How many times do I need to tell you not to feel or say like this? You aren't alone. I am with you. You can just think of my family as yours." as he thought he didn't make any mistake asking help from this girl after all. She really knew how to sell her lies.Fr

    When Lilian was out of his sight, Shane stood there still for a few moments and then walked to Karen's room. He really didn't think Lilian would have to stay somewhere else other than his place. "You really had to do this granny?" Shane stood at the entrance of her room. Karen was sitting on the couch and talking to someone over the phone. Seeing him, she cut off the line saying, "I am calling you back after some time." "Who? Lahaina?" Shane entered the room and stood in front of her. "Anyways, what's the problem with Lilian living here? It's not like we were going to share the same room" Karen got her eyes widened at Shane's words and stood up, "That's out of the question, Shane. And why are you worrying like this? I am sure you must have left your black card with Lilian. Didn't you?" Shane fished out the black card from his wallet and threw it on the coffee table in front of the couch, "Here is my black card. Yes, I agree, I offered it to her but she declined it that moment

    Margaret, Aiden's mother was in the kitchen preparing their dinner. Seeing Aiden at the entrance, she got somewhat confused. It has been barely a few minutes since Aiden had left for a party and he was back already. She spoke up, "Why are you back, Aiden? Weren't you.." but couldn't complete when she got the sight of Lilian entering the house following Aiden. She narrowed her eyes and turned to Aiden as if asking who was the girl? Reading her facial expression, Aiden volunteered the answer, "She is Lilian, Mom. Our Lilian." Christian, Aiden's father who was sitting in the living room immediately turned to Aiden hearing his words and then shifted his gaze to Lilian. Margaret and Christian immediately made their way to Lilian. "Lilian?" Lilian smiled brightly but her eyes brimming with tears as she also took steps forward and hugged Christian, "I missed you, Uncle." Margaret caressed her hair as she spoke up being all teary, "Lilian? Where were you, dear? We searched for you every

    Shane just got to close his eyes for at most 20 minutes before he got wide awake. The same thought was going on in his mind. "Did I make this girl helpless? Where could she be now?" He couldn't help but get angry at Lahaina. For this girl, he had to do this. Otherwise, he would never get Lilian here to make her go through all this. He was angry with Karen too. What would have happened if she let Lilian stay here! He couldn't just understand. Did he just make her homeless to get his future remain planned according to him! Did he become selfish! Though it came from him only, the right instant, he was enraged. Selfish was a word, he hated with a passion. He couldn't digest it to get himself described with the word.He wasn't selfish. He never was and that's why he was here, handling business. Otherwise, he loved his dream of having a career as an artist. He wasn't sure he would have been world-famous but he made himself familiar with his paintings in his earlier days of college. And

    "Are you even hearing yourself?"Shane couldn't help almost yelling at Karen. "Why will Lahaina live with us here? That too with Lilian here!" "Why? Doesn't she trust you?" Karen shot back, "Let me check who's more compatible with this family." Yeah, that's right. But... Elena couldn't get to agree with Karen and supported Shane, "Granny, don't you think you are pushing it way too much? Let Shane decide whatever he wants to do." "Exactly." Willow joined in supporting Shane. Shane got trying to recall a moment when his two sisters supported him, even in front of their granny. No, there wasn't any. He frowned at them thinking what's the matter with them? Karen too was shocked facing their strange behaviour. Clarke should have supported her. But no. Karen thought and tried to get control over the situation, "Clarke, why aren't you saying anything?" "Mom, let them be. We have forced Shane once. I don't think we should do it any second time." Shane was shocked to see his father reall

    Lahaina is also going to be at my place.Shane's voice echoed in Lilian's mind.What would she do? What if Lahaina recognized her? Though it had been a long time, Aiden recognized her. So, she wasn't sure about Lahaina.Lilian was considering if she should tell everything to Shane especially the truth about her identity. Would he believe and help her?Believing wasn't the problem though. The actual problem was Lahaina."Come." Shane said and walked to his car only to stop after a few steps as he didn't feel any presence beside him. He turned and found Lilian still in her place and she seemed to be in deep thought. "What happened?"His voice got Lilian out of her thoughts."Shane, I have some work to do now. I will be at your place in an hour."Before Shane could ask what work she had gotten to do in an unknown place, his phone rang off.He took out the phone and seeing the caller ID, he couldn't get to ignore it."Wait a moment." saying this to Lilian, Shane answered the call, "If it’s

    "I know." Lilian smiled at Shane. "But then I thought why do I need to be picked up to get my home, right?" Shane nodded at her smilingly and parted his lips, about to say something but Lahaina interrupted, "It's not your home yet." She couldn't believe Shane had chosen this girl over her and she was already considering Shane's place as her home. "Well, it's going to be very soon." Shane countered. "Lahaina, I really love Lilian and I don't think I will ever be able to think of someone else as my life partner other than her. So, you had better stop running after me now." Lahaina parted her lips to say something but nothing came out for a few moments. Shane was happy to think that Lahaina was going to stop now and they wouldn't have to drag their drama anymore. After all who would be this shameless to willingly become a third wheel? But no. Lahaina had to prove him wrong. She wasn't going to back away, "I can't Shane. I thought of you the same way you thought of her." "Really?" Li

    "Watch your words, young lady. She is my friend come sister_in_law." Willow uttered in a stern voice to the salesgirl. "I am sorry, Ma'am. I didn't know." Willow dismissed her apology statement shrugging and turned to Lilian, "Lilian, it's my boutique. And no way, I am taking money from you." Lilian tried to say something but Willow spoke up remembering her earlier behavior, "Don't tell me you.." Lilian got totally silent and Willow turned to the salesgirl again, "Pack the dresses, I chose earlier." Before Lilian could say something, the girl was already on her way to do as she was told. "Willow, please. It's not necessary. I have enough dresses. I don't need all these." Willow turned to her and making a serious face, she spoke up, "It's a 'thank you' gift for you." Lilian was bewildered. What did I possibly do for her to thank me! Lilian asked hesitantly, "Thank you! For what?" "Well, you will get to know but not now." Willow shrugged. Leaving that thought aside, for now, Li

    After Julian was done with his work with Shane, he got up and turned to leave. Shane was about to concentrate on his work again but Julian stopped and turned to him.Making an expression like he almost forgot the most important thing, he spoke up, "By the way, you didn't tell me.""Tell you what, Jules?" Shane asked, his voice irritated.Shrugging it off, Julian asked his question with excitement, "When am I getting the chance to be your best man?""What are you talking about?" Shane asked appearing clueless. "Don't pretend, okay?" This time Julian got irritated, "I am asking about your wedding. When are you two getting married?"His words hit him differently. This time he got what Lilian was trying to say actually. What right she was talking about back then got clear to Shane.But_"What? Please, don't tell me you are still going to say you don't believe in marriage and all. You two have already wasted so much time. Don't drag it like this." Julian said sternly and Shane stared at

    Angel was sleeping peacefully beside Rose. Within just a few hours, both of them got mixed so well. Lilian thought as she stared at them smilingly. She tossed on the bed for hours but didn't get to fall asleep. Not wishing to disturb their sleep, Lilian got down from the bed. After properly setting the comforter on them, she walked out of the room. She closed the door behind her trying to make less of a sound. Thinking of what to do, she headed for the pool just like she used to do when she lived here. But instead of walking in the garden, she sat by the pool putting her legs into the water. She shivered feeling cold at first but she sat still. As she stared at the water of the pool, her whole life started flashing in front of her eyes and then there was just Angel. And now Shane. The smiling face of Shane appeared into the water. She smiled back but it got vanished when his voice came as well, "What are you doing here without sleeping?" making her realize he was there for real.

    Seeing Lilian silent, Shane asked again without breaking eye contact, "Answer me. Have you ever regretted it?"His tension mounted higher, the longer Lilian kept her mouth shut."I am asking you something. Have you?" Shane asked, desperate to get an answer."No. I haven't. Ever. Because I loved you as well. I was just afraid thinking it was one-sided." Lilian spoke up, her voice a little louder as if she was trying to hold it within but couldn’t. Shane also got silent hearing her. His heart started beating faster as the realization dawned upon him.Just because of their gap in communication, all this happened. They had already wasted so much time. So, though he was still angry with Lilian for many things, he couldn't ignore the fact that somewhere he was at fault as well.So, without grieving on the past that couldn't be changed, he would like to start afresh. He didn't want Angel to go through any family trouble. She already had enough of this.Shane cupped Lilian's face as he spoke

    "Shane, I know my words will be counted as meaningless now. I am late for years anyway but I am sorry. Please don't snatch Angel from me. I have none except for her and I won't be able to live without her." Lilian pleaded finding Shane silent. "Would you ever consider me in your equation?" Shane asked, his voice lacing with mixed of emotions. Why couldn't she just think of them together in a picture? Just like Angel who went on painting a happy family as soon as she found out about him. He didn't know what he would have done if Lilian had told him but for sure he would have liked to be given a chance to say his words at the very least. And somewhere in his heart, he knew he would have been happy and gladly accepted her. Only if she had just made it to speak to him, he would have been with her all the time. He wouldn’t have missed the time when Angel was growing inside her. The time must had been hard enough for her to handle alone but she chose it for her. She chose to deprive hi

    Thoughtlessly Shane walked ahead and then hopped in his car. But before revving the engine, he didn't know where to go actually. He called Lilian only to get his calls ignored. Well, it wasn’t for the first time, his calls were always ignored by her. Shane thought sadly.He was tired, his body demanding some rest but in no way his mind was up for that. He didn't know where did Lilian go nor did he know what actually was going on in her mind. A scary thought was bugging him but he didn’t entertain that.Instead, he guessed she might have gone behind Aiden. It seemed pretty considerable. He was her cousin and Aiden went being angry with her. And he knew how much he meant to her. Well, every one meant to her something except for him.She wasn't even ready to leave Vina alone in Manhattan. She seemed so concerned for her. But she didn't bother to think about him before disappearing from his life. Now she was most probably thinking of doing the same.No, Angel was in the picture. Being a m

    "You got to be kidding us. What are you even saying? Your daughter?" Julian asked bewildered.Nathaniel stared at Shane before he turned to Angel and then again at Shane. He spoke up joining the lines, "You mean to say you and Lilian?"Shane nodded, "Yes. Angel is our daughter.""What?" Julian seemed to get shocked, "You knew? Then why didn’t I alone know anything about this?""Stop it." Nathaniel let out a sigh and yelled at Julian being irritated. He then turned to Shane, "Where did Lilian go by the way?""I don’t know." Shane replied, his eyes still on the doorway. "Don’t tell me you are thinking of separating Lilian from her daughter," Nathaniel spoke up whatever came to his mind. He knew though Shane was angry at Lilian, he had searched for her. He knew that night Shane was with Lilian. But something happening like this didn’t cross his mind. But whatever he would never support Shane trying to separate a child from her mother."Angel is my daughter as well." Shane moved his gaz

    As Rose lead Angel to her room, everyone kept staring at them. When they were out of their sight, everyone turned to Shane and Lilian. Whatever Shane was saying was hardly believable but knowing him, he wasn’t a person to make stories or assumption like this. "Lilian, is this true?" Karen asked anyway and stood in front of Lilian. She had to confirm it from Lilian as well, "Whatever Shane is saying, is it true?" Lilian remained silent for a moment only to make Karen ask her again, "I am waiting for your answer, Lilian. Is it true?" "Yes." Lilian replied hesitantly. "I just can't believe this. Why did you leave back then? You should have told us." Karen spoke up again with so much excitement surprising everyone. Aiden, Willow and Elena were silent till now but Aiden spoke up this time, "Willow, are you coming with me, or do you want to stay here for now?" Before Willow could say something, Lilian spoke up, "Aiden?" Ignoring Lilian, Aiden spoke up, his eyes still on Willow, "I hav

    It was already afternoon when they reached New York. When the car got parked at the entrance of the Lockwood Mansion, Lilian stared at the proudly standing tall building and all around. Shane got out of the car and rounding, he opened and held the door for Lilian. Angel was sleeping peacefully on the back seat. Must be tired from the journey. Shane thought.He was about to say something but interrupting, Lilian asked, "Shane, can't we stay in a hotel?" She wasn’t being able to get herself ready to face his family all of a sudden. She didn’t think she would have to face them again. Period.Shane stared at her. He didn’t want to disturb her peacefully sleeping daughter. So, instead of uttering anything, he kept glaring at Lilian trying to relay his words. He couldn’t just get what the problem was with her. As much as he was trying to take it normal, she was just going on searching things to agitate him even more. Before Shane could say something, Lilian again spoke up, "You never kn

So, I thought you were just trying to avoid me and_""You can't just assume on your own. I had a meeting to attend. Leave that. Why didn’t you tell me when you found out about your pregnancy? Didn’t I had the right to know?" Shane asked, his voice yelling. "This was an accidental pregnancy. I don’t even remember our time together from that night let alone how did this happen. I didn’t know how you would have reacted knowing this. I didn’t want you to blame me about trying to trap you and all. Knowing your granny, I didn’t want to be in a forced relationship.
