Chapter 89"Ouch," Eliza uttered as soon as Lily's knife touched her cheek. Frederick was to the rescue and shed the blood on the small cut that Lily gave her using the small white cloth. "You should take it easy, Lily. She's a newbie," Frederick commented. Lily shook her head with a playful smile for him."You were hard on me when you trained me," Lily mentioned unbelievably. "None in this world would take her easy," Leonora said while playing with the knife in her hand. "I'm fine," Eliza said and disregarded the small cut. "You have to learn how to fight not for us, but to defend yourself. I would never be fine dying without trying to fight," Rafael discussed as he sat on the grass. The entire area was full of them, practicing their skills for the war. "Where's Paul anyways?" Frederick asked."He's still with my Uncle," Lily replied. "I wonder if they have another lead for Aemon," Leonora mentioned. It's been five days now since the accident. The war is near to end once that b
Chapter 90It was filled with screaming from the innocent people who were involved in the war between them. The gunshots going around makes their ears ache. Lily was behind the car, holding her gun while breathing fast. Her other hand was holding her belly with a small smile on her lips. She never thought that she would actually face danger without Aemon beside her. "Lily," Leonora called and sat beside her with the gun. "All our men are here now, your Uncle just arrived.""What about Paul?" She asked."He's still not answering," she replied. "They are killing all the innocent lives here," Lily said and now stood up. They are not aiming for them yet. All they wanted was to clean up the place before they killed each other."Gather everyone and be ready," Lily ordered Leonora.She was scared. How can she hide that when it's running through her spine? In her entire body? It's fear that's eating her. But not because of what might happen. But because Aemon is not with her. She's so scare
Chapter 91"I want his head," Lily said with her weak voice. "Lily!" Eliza shouted and now showed up running towards her. She was bleeding with all the wounds she just got."Are you okay?" Aemon asked and cupped her face softly."As long as the baby is fine," she uttered, catching her breathing. "We should leave," Eliza said. "No," Lily disagreed and stood up by herself beyond the pain that felt like hell in her entire body. With her knife on the shore, got washed with the water and cleansed the blood that painted it earlier, she picked it up and held it tightly."I said I want his head," she uttered. "What?" Eliza asked in surprise."I think you should not be here," Frederick said and held Eliza on her wrist."Gosh, your arms are bleeding, Frederick!" She exclaimed hysterically. "Use this," Leonora said and handed her a long knife bigger than her small knife. "I will do the honor," Lily said firmly. "That's brutal," Paul whispered. She looked at the ocean as soon as she began
Chapter 1"Sir, your grandmother is outside," his bodyguard whispered in the middle of his business meeting. His blue eyes that resemble the color of the sky remained at the man who was discussing a lot in front of them."Mr. Cooper, she's coming here if you don't come out immediately." The secretary now intervened while he was still listening. They all know who is the person who can give a threat to a man named Aemon Cooper; it's his grandmother who can make him kneel if necessary. He doesn't fear death, but he fears his grandmother. "Sir—""Reschedule the meeting," before his grandmother could even set foot in the huge room, he quickly stood up from his chair and left the room without explaining anything to them. "What?" they whispered when he suddenly left when the speaker was near to end the discussion. Aemon clenched his jaw when he saw his grandmother coming to the room. Good thing, he left early before she could start a show there. He gave her cold stares and continued walk
Chapter 2 "What is that, Lily?" her mother asked in her fuming and tough voice as they both entered their house. Lily was still furious with them. How can they mourn when his father just died but none of them open their eyes and seek justice? They all pretended blind, even her mother who definitely knew that her father's death wasn't an accident. "I have no idea what you're talking about," Lily answered innocently. Her mother immediately cackled at her daughter. She also knows that she is not innocent of what she just did in front of the people earlier. "Don't fool me, Lily. You are my daughter, I know you well!"It was like a fire just burned between them and Lily couldn't calm herself anymore. With her eyes filled with pain and anger, she looked back at her mother. "Then maybe you also know that your husband's death was not an accident," you can clearly define that she was enraged by her sturdy voice along with her blazing eyes towards her mother. Her hands were crumpled, tryin
Chapter 3Her 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
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
