His Possession Eight
Ace's POV"I might be busy." I spoke up, dismissing my secretary.I was beyond exhausted and these meetings wouldn't just stop. Walking towards the suite, I realized how Sofia was still walking beside me.Not right now.I dragged a hand over my face, urging myself not to grain out loud. All I wanted was some sleep. At least, one hour."Ace!" She hissed beside me.I barely controlled my annoyance and looked at her. "What is it?""Lily's here." She gestured towards the suite.Lily's here?Dammit! She had to arrive today. How did I forget that?"Right." I nodded slowly, walking ahead more eagerly this time. "You showed her everything?"She nodded, a little too frantically. Meaning she needed to say something else too."And?" I asked."She was asking where you were." She glanced at me, carefully arranging the papers I had given her.She was asking about me?How unusual."I'll see about that." And then I dismissed her too.She nodded and walked the other way, towards the elevator. When I w
His Possession Nine
Lily's POVAll alone.I was all alone in a dark place. Nothing was there. The darkness was seeping deep into me. I could not hold it much longer. It was suffocating me.Consuming me.I opened my eyes in a sudden jerk. My throat felt dry. Looking around, it took me a whole minute until my vision adjusted.It's fine. It was just a dream. I'm fine.I rubbed my hands over my face and closed my eyes to level my breathing. My throat still felt dry. My insides felt like they were twisting themselves.Water.I needed water.I stood up groggily from the bed and headed outside, opening the door. My head felt light as if I had been dehydrated for days. Frowning I went towards the familiar kitchen when I saw him.Ace.And a part inside me breathed out in relief when I saw him. I hadn't expected to see him here. Not in the morning especially. Since he was always busy with his work.But after that strange dream, I was glad to know that I wasn't alone in this big, empty house.I slowly went over tow
His Possession Ten
Lily's POVI spent the rest of my life in the library. Almost.It was the only place apart from my room which seemed comfortable enough to roam around. Even if the library was huge, there was this something about the tall shelves filled with books which somehow felt comforting.I didn't actually see anyone here besides me. Which was more than fine.Picking out a random book, I sat down on one of the soft black couches around one corner.The books here were kind of interesting. Historical. Crimes. Psychology. It gave a sort of mysterious aura to this place, confusing me even more.Especially since Ace had indirectly pointed out that I was in danger. He told me not to leave this place by myself.But why?I wasn't in danger my whole life. I never remembered my grandparents ever telling me not to leave the house by myself.Did that mean that I was in danger just because of Ace?I frowned at that, shaking my head slightly. It would be better if I not thinking into this too much. It clearl
His Possession Eleven
Lily's POVI opened my eyes in clear frustration when the alarm clock didn't stop ringing like crazy. Reaching out with my hand, I searched around for it before pressing down the snooze button. Then I rubbed my eyes and sat up, slowly looking around until my eyes stopped at the black alarm clock. Which clearly wasn't mine.This wasn't my freaking room either.Slowly, realization dawned upon me and I came to remember what had happened yesterday night.But I didn't sleep on the bed, did I?I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion.On the other hand, this room was very much like Ace himself. The walls were painted a light shade of grey and a big closet door beside the couch I remembered sleeping on. It smelled like him.God.I drifted my mind off from Ace and stood up. I really had the most satisfying sleep last night. Something about this room was comforting.Or maybe it was just the fact that I hadn't been alone in this room last night.I really needed a shower to get these thoughts out of
His Possession Twelve
Lily's POVAfter that incident, Ace took me back home. To his apartment.The whole ride back went on in complete silence. I clutched onto Ace's jacket around my shoulders, looking out of the window the entire ride.The easy plans always turns out wrong at one point. Mine turned out pretty bad. Worse.Thoughts kept on clouding my head.Why were those two black clothed men after me? Why did my parents sign a contract with a gangleader? Who was that gangleader? What sort of excuse was I to make up this time in front of Ace?I was very much aware of Ace glancing at me time to time. I needed to figure out who's the gangleader.When we reached the familiar Stone apartment, I internally breathed out a sigh of relief. After that horrifying encounter with those men, I was more than glad to be here.I felt safe here.The silence remained as we went inside. Once we were in the familiar suite, I shrugged off his jacket and placed it on the couch. My shirt was soaked and sticking all over my body
His Possession Thirteen
Lily's POV"It's so out of this world." I said exasperatedly, slumping my head on the table. "And hopeless."Stella had still not overcome her surprise on seeing the huge library, looking around in complete awe. We both had a thing for libraries. And the library here in Ace's apartment was amazing.I had been trying to search around in this library for things that could somehow tell me more about Valtor. But I hadn't found anything last night. So now, I really had to ask Stella to come over and help me out."Come on, Lily." She finally overcame her surprise and looked at me. "You think we could find something about him in such a huge place?"I inhaled deeply at that. That's what she didn't understand. I couldn't give up. I didn't want to give up.Her eyes trailed across my face and she must've seen the look of irritation on my face for which she sighed and nodded. "Did you try searching among the newspapers?""Newspapers?""Well, there must be some newspapers here in this huge library
His Possession Fourteen
Lily's POV Sitting in front of Grandpa was just like old times.The only difference was, back then he used to smile at me and talk to me. But now, he was just lying still -unmoving- with different types of machinery around him. He was looking healthier than before and that was something."Come on Grandpa, it's boring sitting here without you saying anything to me." I whispered, leaning back against the chair I was sitting on, beside his bed.Since I couldn't think of doing anything this morning, I had decided to pay Grandpa a small visit in the hospital. And thankfully, Zack had been kind enough to drop me here in his car.Well, almost.I had called him after having some breakfast. He had answered the call almost when I was about to hang up. And he had practically grumbled all along to not wake him up before noon. Ever.Somehow, I really don't know how, I got in his car and he was driving me to the hospital. Not to forget his early morning driving skills, jeopardizing my life.But st
His Possession Fifteen
Lily's POVThe next few days, as much as I tried to distract myself, all I could think about was him.Valtor Vencarlo.There was this something about that article Stella had sent me, that just didn't settle well with me. Of course, random killings never settle well with anyone. But the mere thought that he could've been somehow involved with my parents was disturbing.That's why I found myself being determined to find out more about him. Even though I clearly remembered Sofia's words,...I don't think Ace would want you to dwell in such stuff.I knew that. Ace really wouldn't like the thought of me snooping around his apartment in search of some information on a gang leader either. But that's the only thing I could've done.Like I said, I tried distracting myself. But each time I found myself thinking back to my parent's death. The same parents who left me without any answers.What else was I supposed to do?I really couldn't have ignored the uneasy feeling inside me. As much as I wan
