LILIANA SPENCER…..
I let Killian take me out of the venue to the car. All the way tears kept streaming down my eyes. “Lily, don't take his word to your heart. You know he's hot-tempered. And will always spout nonsense in anger. He didn't mean that.”Killian tried to console me. But there was no word that would make me feel good.“Killian. I know Zade more than anyone else. And remember one thing people always don't spout nonsense in anger. Sometimes people speak the truth in anger, what they can't say normally and keep inside their hearts. So, never take the words said in anger lightly.”Killian didn't say anything after that and guided me to the car and held the door open for me. I got into the car and settled in the backseat.I watched him walk over to the trunk and he came back in a minute holding a first aid box in his hand.“You burned your hands in order to save Gianna. Still not asking for ointment. Are you a fool!” Killian scolded me rightfully, taking my hand in his applying ointment on the burnt skin.“This pain is nothing compared to the pain I'm feeling in my heart, Killian.” My chin touched the upper chest as I hung my head low trying to hide my tears.Killian sighed heavily. “Honestly I never thought Zade would still run after her even after having you in his life. Don't worry, he will not leave you. You will always be yours.” Killian tried to cheer me up. I pulled my hand out of his when he was done.“He was never mine, Killian. Even though Gianna was away from his life, his heart was always with her. As if she took his heart away with her. Have you seen him this happy in these years? No, right? How would he be happy when his heart was not with him?” My voice was on the verge of crying.“Don’t feel sad, Lily. No one can take your place, no matter what. You’re our Luna. You will always be. Have faith in the Moon Goddess. She will make everything right.” He patted on my head and closed the door then settled himself on the passenger seat. Then we drove off to Meadows House.We don't live in the pack house, as he left the pack house after our marriage. As he didn't want to accept me as his mate but his father forced him to accept me and make Luna.I don't know what Zade wants but I'm sure Gianna is not up to any good. She had clearly told me that she would snatch my Zade from me. Now what should I do?Life is so surprising, I was advising Luna Athena to leave her mate if he started developing feelings for someone else. But now I understand how hard it is to leave our Mate.Advising someone indeed is easy but when it comes to your turn only then you will understand how hard it is to do that....“Gamma, Jace. Don't you dare lie to me? Gianna is inside with Zade, right?” I asked him furiously as he was stopping me from going into Zade’s cabin.“No, Luna. Please trust me. He's in a meeting with a client. That's why I'm stopping you from going there.”Gamma Jace defended himself.“Gamma Jace is telling the truth only, Lily.” A sweet voice came from behind. I didn't have to turn to confirm whose voice it belonged to.Gianna stood before me holding a sweet smile on her face. “Gamma, Jace. Please excuse us.” She said to him in an overly sweet tone. And he left from there.Then Gianna glanced at me from head to toe. “I really don't see anything special in you then from where you get so much guts to show attitude always. You know you are not meant to be with Zade. You are just a big mistake, nothing at all. You don't have a family, you are not from a good background, and in looks, you are nothing compared to me.”Gianna flipped her hair back showing attitude. While she was getting on my nerves.“Pch! There is no need to compare you with me. Because my servants are more beautiful than you. You are not even worthy of being a servant in my house. Let alone become the Luna of Silver Lake pack.” My hands turned into a ball as I tried my best to keep my calm posture.“What made you think that you could take my place? Do you know the word status? This word is not made only for a girl like you. I advise you something, don't aim for the moon, you are not worthy of it. Zade is only mine.”That’s it! I lost my temper and slapped her hard right across her face and she fell onto the floor. And to my bad luck in the meantime, Zade came out of his cabin and found his ex on the floor.“Gianna!” Zade immediately rushed to her and helped her to get up on her feet. Then he cast me a dangerous glare.“What's your problem, Lily? Why are you bullying her like this?” Zade screamed at me in extreme anger.“She was talking nonsense about me,” I yelled back.“Enough! I don't want to hear anything from you. Are you really the Liliana I know? But I don't think so. When did you change so much? It's my office. I don't want any chaos here. We will talk at home. So, Please go back home. I know you won't disobey me.” I felt my eyes burning as my vision got blurred. I didn't realize I was crying until I heard Beta Killian saying not to cry.“Please, Luna. Let me take you home. I'm begging you.” I put on my shades to hide my tears and walked off from there.“Why can't he see her true face, Killian? She behaved like a saint in front of him and never left a chance to insult me.” I broke down and cried when we settled on the car.“She’s always like this. She's a poisonous snake. It's better to stay away from her. I know her. But Zade never listened to any words against her. I have tried many times to make him realize that she's not a good girl. But he never listens to me. He blindly loves her and trusts her.” I heard my heart shatter inside my rib cage. Because he even trusted her over his own mate.I came to meet him to sort things out between us. As he didn't come back home last night. I thought I would apologize to him so that he wouldn't be mad at me anymore. I can't bear his ignorance. It killed me. But everything went wrong and the situation became worse between us. I don't know how to solve all of this. And how am I going to make him believe that I wasn't at fault at all?...I have been eagerly waiting for Zade in the living hall. The clock hands were reading nine-thirty-five pm. I had prepared all of Zade’s favorite dishes. The food turned cold but he didn't arrive yet. I felt my eyelids become heavy and slowly closing but I jolted awake hearing the sound of a car scratching coming from outside implying that Zade was back.I ran to the door and saw him approaching me with all his glory. My eyes twinkled and my heart squealed in delight seeing him. But to my dismay not for a single moment his eyes met mine. He just walked ahead toward the sofa ignoring my presence. I braced myself together and handed him a glass of water like always.He gulped the water and placed the empty glass on the table before him. “You must be tired, go get freshen up, while I reheat the food.” Saying that quickly I turned to leave for the kitchen but my next move halted in mid-air when I heard his voice.“Stop Lilliana. We need to talk.” My heart almost stopped sensing the tension in the air. I turned to him holding my breath and found him in a serious mood.“Please, sit here.” Zade motioned me to take the seat across from him so I sat there like an obedient wife.I heard him sigh then he looked up to meet my eyes. “Let's Divorce.” His words gave a whack on my heart with a thorny lash. There were no emotions in his eyes when he said those painful words to me.LILIANA SPENCER“Let's Divorce.” His words gave a whack on my heart with a thorny lash. There were no emotions in his eyes when he said those painful words to me. My heart clenched painfully making it hard for me to breathe. The tears that were forming in my eyes fell helplessly. “Is it…. because of Gi….Gianna?” My voice broke down even though I was holding my fist in a firm grip to stop myself from breaking down. “It's nothing like that. It's good for both of us. We both are tied in a meaningless relationship. A relationship cannot survive with one-sided efforts. You have been trying your best to save our marriage life. When I could not move on from my past. You deserve better, Lily. I don't want you to suffer anymore.” I kept silent. My heart was fragile and breakable, yet he still had the guts to tear my worth apart. How can he be sure, I will be happy away from him? I was happy thinking that he was beside me even though he didn't love me. I opened my mouth to say something bu
LILIANA SPENCER…..I never thought our marriage would end up like this. I really believed I could make a place in his heart. As he has a big heart of gold. I still remember that day, four years ago, at the coffee shop where I used to work, I accidentally spilled cold coffee on a customer because a customer bumped into me from behind. But that hot-tempered person, despite me asking for forgiveness several times, was not convinced and in anger, he took hot coffee from a waiter and threw it at my face. But before it could land on my face someone stood before me saving me from burning. When I looked up I met with his forest-green eyes which were looking back at me. I was mesmerized by his beautiful eyes. The man was tall and well-built. He had a perfect jawline and his hair was combed meticulously. His every move was graceful and calm. His brows were arched together in concern. And he asked me, “Are you alright?” An icy-cold voice came out of his throat. It was low and hoarse and i
THREE YEARS LATER……The night was still young and many luxurious cars and reporters geared up with cameras and equipment at the gate to the Royal Phoenix Hotel. The Royal Phoenix Hotel was the most prominent in D.C. It had gabled roofs, large bay windows, and decorative sculptures. The interior was similarly designed. The Golden Wing Age Group was hosting a party here tonight and had invited the business tycoons of D.C. to the event. A black Benz pulled over before the hotel. The Miller family was one of the Mighty Three, the top three most reputable families in D.C. Their financial power and Influence were undrivable in D.C.“It's Alec Lightwood. Alec Lightwood is here.” Loud cheering sounds came from reporters and they rushed over with their cameras. Alec Lightwood stepped out his feet from his car on the red carpet elegantly. He was dressed in an all-black suit while wearing his charming smile on his. After him, a gorgeous woman dressed in a Royal Red gown got out of his car.
ZADE MEADOWS……I woke up to the constant ringing of my phone. The moment I opened my eyes I felt a rush of pain in my head forcing me to clutch my head between my palms. I felt my head pounding nevertheless, I looked for my phone which was still ringing on the bedside table. I swiped the answer button without looking at the screen. “Hello!” “Zade, something big has happened. Someone had purchased the company shares in large quantities. The buyer now owned 51% of the company shares. Now that person is the Major shareholder of the company who can be a threat to your position.” I froze in my place. My headache became worse hearing the news. “Who is the Buyer?” “G.M.”“That's it.”“We could not find out the full name. But don't worry he will come to the shareholder meeting at 11. So please, get yourself together and come to the office.”“Yeah, I will be there. But this headache is killing me.” I groaned. “I know you have a hangover after what you did last night. But whatever you did
GRACELYNN MILLER…..Zade’s face was worth watching when he saw me walking into the meeting room. And his jaw almost touched the floor when he heard my real name. “Is there a joke going on here.” Zade’s chair fell back when he stood up with a jerk roaring like a mad bull. I had to close my eyes because of the high-pitched sound. “Liliana, what's all of this? It's not a soap opera but my office. You can't play a drama here.” I took a deep breath to calm myself then I snapped my head at him. He looked really pissed. ‘If you are like this now then how will you react when I take over your company?’ I wanted to laugh my butt off thinking about his reaction. “Mr. Meadows, what made you think that I'm making a drama here?” I raised my brow at him. “And if you forget who are you talking to right now so rudely then let me remind you, that I'm the Major shareholder of your company. You can't disrespect me like this. I will not stand it. I know, you must be shocked after discovering all of
GRACELYNN MILLER……He was a jerk and always will be a jerk. How could he hurt me again? He's hurting the same place again and again. When he apologised to me first I thought he had changed. But he proved me wrong the next moment when he said I trapped Alec for a better life. So it was clear from his side he thinks of me as a money-minded gold-digger girl who is after money. And I had chosen to marry him for the greed of money. He thinks so low of me. I don't understand what I had seen in him back then to fall in love with a jerk like him. I think I was blind back then.“Hey!” I halted on my track when Beta Killian stopped in front of me on the ground floor. “Good to see you again. Welcome back. I don't know what to call you now, Gracelynn or Liliana.” Killian sounded cheerful. So I flashed him a smile. “I wish I could say the same to you. I'm not happy to see you. And yeah, you can go with Gracelynn. That Liliana you used to know, died long ago. So there is no need to recall her any
GRACELYNN MILLER…..I stared at her in utmost shock. “Huhh!” I shook my head at her nonsense. “You know, Gianna. You have gone mad out of jealousy. How can you say that Zade is in love with me? When he himself renounced me for you, his first love. Because of you, he has not even kissed me in the four years of our marriage. You have no idea what hell I have been through in those four years of my marriage.” I let out a bitter laugh, looking at the other side. “Now you are telling me, he has feelings for me. Really! Do I look like an idiot to you that I will buy your words? If you are in the mood to joke with me then please don't. If it was before then I would have laughed at your words but after my divorce joke felt like poison to me.” I noticed how she sighed heavily. “I know you will not believe me. But it won't change the truth anyway if you believe my words or not. But let me tell you, I don't care if he loves me or not but I love him. And I want him in my life. No one can take
GRACELYNN……“What's wrong with that?” Zade’s husky voice made my stomach twirl. “I don't like it. I hate it when you come close to me.” I said quickly and looked at the other side in anger. In the blink of an eye I found myself pinned against the wall, my hands above my head in his tight grasp. Zade was dangerously close to me. His warm breath caressed my face and sent the chill of desire down my spine. I looked down, not wanting to meet his eyes that weakened my knees many times before. But he made me look into his eyes by holding my chin with his forefinger and thumb. I stared into his eyes which were holding some unknown emotions I could put my finger on. “I don't care if you say you hate me. Because I know you still have feelings for me in the corner of your heart. So don't lie. I know you very well. You can change your name to whatever you like. But your heart will remain the same. And your heart loves me.” His face was emotionless. But his overconfident attitude pissed me of
