Chapter 3
Her life is a total mess. She feels like a dog obeying her cruel master. Her father's death was being hidden and now, they are controlling her marriage. It feels like this is not her life anymore but her Uncle's life. Lily was thinking profoundly. Isn't it funny? She's still trying to think of how to escape them when she knows she can't. The knife kept dancing in her hand as she was playing with it. Her father taught her a lot. In terms of fighting, standing for herself, but here she is, couldn't even speak for herself.
"Lily, are you done?" it was her mother who invaded her room without knocking. That was when she stopped playing with the knife and kept it in her purse.
"I am," she replied, but didn't glance at her mother. Even though she tries hard, she just can't look at her.
"Lily, please don't make any trouble. That family is a huge family, just obey us and stay silent."
Now, a bitter smirk goes on her lips. She stared at her mother unbelievably with those words she said. She's lecturing her as if she's a troublemaker when they are the one who keep making troubles in her fvckin' life.
"I am sometimes thinking if you are really a mother,"
"This is also for your own sake, Lil—"
"I know what's good for me…but all of you are shutting me up," she said in a sturdy voice before I marched out of the room and left her alone there. They are tying her on her neck so hard. She doesn't even see a future with that man they want me to marry. How can they make her marry him when we don't even know each other?
If only her father is alive, he won't let this happen. Now, she's all alone. And everyone around her is her enemy.
"What's his name?" she asked while they are on their way to her Uncle's house. Lily was acting like an obedient child when she was planning to make some trouble before going there.
"Aemon Cooper," her mother immediately answered. She was glad to hear that her daughter was asking that without knowing that she was about to deceive her. Lily nodded and stayed silent. That name sounds expensive indeed.
"I see," she uttered.
"I'm gonna buy some dessert," her mother said to their driver as they stopped at the cake shop. Lily was ready to run and make her mother anxious. "Stay here, I will be quick."
She didn't respond. "Don't follow me," she said to the driver before she ran so fast as her mother went inside the shop. Lily ran as fast as she could in the middle of the road, not thinking of her dress or even the sweat.
"Miss Lily!" their driver yelled from afar. That made her smirk.
Meanwhile, Aemon was driving and was on his way to the said place.
"I'm on my way," he said on the phone. His grandmother is already near there and she just can't stop calling her grandson.
"Don't be late. This is an important matter, it's your wedding, Aemon."
His eyes shut for a while and sighed. Here she goes again.
"I'm on my way so I won't be la—godd*mn it!" He quickly stepped on the brake before he could even hit the girl wearing black off shoulder dress.
"Aemon? What happened?!" Now, his grandma is anxious thinking that he was attacked by their enemies again. But then, it was different. The girl was not an enemy. Aemon was wearing his cold eyes when the girl knocked on his window as if she was being chased.
"Just wait for me there," he said and ended the call. A tiny smirk drew on his lips when he realized who the girl was.
Lily David, his fiancé. He quickly opened the door at the passenger seat and she did not waste any time to go in.
"First, I'm sorry for that. But can you please just drive and take me with you?" she asked, chasing her breathing. Lily looked behind them to check if her mother was coming towards her. Sweat is all over her face. While Aemon couldn't look away from her beautiful face.
D*mn, she's prettier with this distance. Her beauty is addictive.
"Not a problem," he said and started to drive again. "What's happening?" Aemon asked, pretending not to know her. Well, he was about to deceive her. She's probably trying to run away from their wedding that will happen soon enough. Maybe she was really stubborn that made Aemon become interested in her even more.
"I know you're a stranger, but I'm trying to make some trouble for my careless mother. Fvck, they want me to marry someone without my consent!" she took a deep sighed before she started to open her purse and wipe the sweat on her forehead.
Aemon gulped and bit his lower lip for a moment. Who can resist a woman like her? He was right, she's trying to run away. But then, she doesn't even know that he's on his way to the place of their dinner.
"I'm about to marry someone too," Aemon said while trying to keep his eyes on the way. Lily beside him is distracting.
"Really? You're okay with it?" she asked unbelievably.
Aemon nodded. "Yes, I'm interested in the girl."
Lily has no idea that the man she's with is actually her fiancé. Aemon was trying to refrain himself from smirking.
"Good for you...what's your name?" Aemon was indecisive if he's gonna tell who he is to her. She probably knows his name. But then, they are already near the place.
"Wait," Lily uttered when she saw the house of her Uncle. Her eyes widened as she stared at the man beside her.
"I'm Aemon Cooper," he introduced as he drove inside the land of Lily's uncle. Her lips parted as Aemon introduced himself. It seems like she was playing her own game. The man she's with is actually her fiancé.
"Fvck you," she cursed out loud as soon as Aemon parked the car. He simply smirked before he finally looked at those exquisite eyes of hers.
"Nice to meet you, fiancé."
Chapter 4"Why do you have a knife in your purse?" Aemon asked after deceiving the stubborn Lily. She was still in awe while looking at Aemon beside her. Yes, she made some trouble for her mother but it just backfired on her. "I can't believe you're asking me that after deceiving me," she said in regret. Now, she just realized that this man already knew her when she knocked on his window earlier. Aemon only pretended not to know her like they were completely strangers. "I should get to know my fiancé," he said annoyingly and even smirked at her. "I'm not gonna marry you," Lily said confidently as if she could not really marry Aemon. He simply chuckled before getting out of the car and leaving her alone. In the next minute, Aemon went to open the door for her. "You can't stay there," he said, trying to stop himself from smirking. That annoys her and he can feel it, it's all over her face. "I bring a knife so I can kill people that I am annoyed with," Lily uttered as soon as she go
Chapter 5"I am coming, Dash." Lily snaps herself in the mirror after wearing her earrings. She's simply wearing a beige coat that pairs with her beige pencil skirt. Her hair was tied in half while a piece of hair was hanging in front of her face. Her beauty is indeed distractive and addictive. One look and a man can easily fall for her. "Hurry up, loser." Lily rolled her eyes before hanging up. "Where are you going?" her mother asked as she opened the door of her room. How can she ever have a good day if she always sees her mother? Sometimes, Lily thinks that marrying that man named Aemon is definitely the better way to avoid her mother. "I'm going to meet my friend," she simply answered, not looking at her. "Who's your friend?" it almost made her chuckle. "Dash, who else?" she replied sarcastically. "You can't spend much time with him, Lily. Aemon is on his way here. Your engagement will be tonight," she rolled her eyes again and again. Why is she acting like a caring mother
Chapter 6"D-Dad... " Lily's hands were cold and shivering as she kneeled on the road in front of her father who's lying lifelessly. She could not identify him anymore with the blood covering his entire body. Tears keep falling down from her lovely eyes and down to her cheeks. "D-Daddy…" She started crying a river as soon as she tried to touch him...but then, she couldn't do it. She can't bear to touch those wounds from the shots on his body. "Who did this to you?" Lily asked in anger. People are around them, watching her cry aloud all the pain and anger while embracing the dead body of her father. There are bullets on the road—tons of bullets as if there was an attack here. "Daddy, don't leave me!" she cried all over again, ignoring all the people's eyes on me. Lily doesn't know what to do or how to fvcking react. She couldn't let go of him in her arms and she didn't even know if she could. "Lily," her mother caressed her back while the tears from her beautiful eyes were alread
Chapter 7 "He died because of the accident," his Uncle said to them while Lily was not by herself, sitting in the hospital. Her hands and her white uniform are covered with the blood of his own father. She couldn't think properly after what she saw. "It was a cruel accident," her mother added. "Accident? That is fvcking ridiculous, Mom!" she shouted with a glimpse of anger from her voice. Tears couldn't stop from falling in her eyes. She knew she was torn apart and that she just wanted to die as well. Her father died and how is she supposed to continue her life the next day without him? Can you believe it? Her mother is turning a blind eye to the real death of her father. Lily can't just understand why she is acting like this. They are all pathetic, making her believe their absurd reason for his father's death. "Lily, there are witnesses who told the police that it was all a car accid—" Lily cackled, mocking her Aunt who was still alive that day. "Car accident my fvcking ass! T
Chapter 8 Lily was in the bathroom, staring at herself in the mirror. After Aemon took a bath, she cleaned herself as well. She even removed all her make up and applied all her skincare. Lily decided to wear a white big size shirt and simple black cycling. Unlike the other girls, she prefers sleeping while wearing a huge size shirt because she feels more comfortable. "D*mn it," she uttered a firm curse. How is she supposed to get out of there and sleep? She used to sleep alone in her bed and now, she's married. They are supposed to sleep together. Thinking of Aemon's masculine body, the warmth of his breathing, his seductive lips, and his perfect face for a man makes everything hard for Lily. "Hey, are you gonna sleep there?" Aemon already knocked on the door when Lily was not coming out from there. He's d*mn worried that something happened to Lily there. It's been an hour and she's still there. On the other hand, Lily inside the bathroom was fvcking nervous and tense. She's even
Chapter 9 All of them are watching him eat. Lily could not even remain eating as she was busy staring at him as well. Aemon looks like a ghost they all saw. This is like a miracle for all of them. He never goes home just to eat dinner. Aemon was so workaholic that he almost used his office as his second home. "How's your day?" he asked and put the cut slices of the shrimp on Lily's plate. She didn't notice that though. Her eyes were too focused on him. "You go home?" she asked like a naive woman. It's not like she doesn't want him to go home, that's what she actually likes. But then, this is just unbelievable after hearing what Mica told her earlier when he was gone. Aemon chuckled and shook his head. He almost cursed in his head after seeing his wife act so cute. "Of course. I have a wife to look at," he replied seductively. The maids giggled and even hit each other a little while watching them. They both look like a sweet couple."You're workaholic, I thought you weren't plann
Chapter 10"I'm so full," he commented while yawning. Aemon went back to his table after eating lunch with his wife. Lily was on top of the world, watching her husband enjoy her food. Good thing her father taught him to cook some dishes when he was alive. He loves cooking and it was all for her mother. She remembers how she always watched him do everything in the kitchen. Maybe that is how she adapted everything. "Are you going home?" Lily asked and sat on the chair in front of his table. The mountains of papers on his desk makes her sick already. This is the reason why he became a workaholic. "Of course…for you," he added in the end without meeting her eyes that were focused on him. He's indeed a busy man, but what Mica told her keeps playing in her mind every time she looks at him. How did he survive all those days? Beyond that, he still became this rich. While her, she couldn't even figure out how she would continue her life. "Excuse me," the door opened after three knocks and t
Chapter 11She began to march away from Lily, creating a distance between them. Aemon's grandmother simply held her small knife from her purse and was waiting for a perfect time to throw it to Lily. "Is that so?" she asked while she was facing her back. Lily was too innocent from her plan of challenging her. "I don't buy words, Lily." As soon as she threw the knife like a piece of paper in her direction, Lily's eyes did not widen when she saw the knife coming towards her. It was so fast like a bullet coming out from a gun. Their grandmother's intention is to only give her a small bruise and not intended to kill the wife of her grandson. "Lily!" Aemon yelled out loud. But it was too late and the knife already touched Lily's left cheek that made the blood come out of her flesh. "What the hell, grandma?! Are you trying to kill my wife?!" Aemon shouted out of anger. His eyes were burning like a real fire. However, his grandmother simply smirked and didn't bother Aemon's anger towards
