The Billionaire’s Pet 94.
Lily's POVI took a shuddering breath, my tears subsiding as I slowly pulled away from Aiden's comforting embrace. His presence alone felt like a balm that soothed me, and I found all the trauma I had carried around for years slowly ebbed away.I wiped my tear-stained cheeks with the back of my hand, managing a weak smile as I looked up at him. "Well, looks like I've managed to wet your shirt again," I noted, a snort of laughter coming out of my lips. "I should start carrying tissues around or something."Aiden chuckled softly, his eyes filled with warmth. "You know what, Lily? I'd gladly let you wet any of my clothes any day," he replied, his voice holding a hint of playfulness. "As long as I get to hold you tight like this, I am perfectly fine."His words caused a surge of emotion within me, and my heart skipped a beat. Despite the pain and darkness that had haunted my past, that I had just dug up from my memory, this man still loved me like no other.It made me feel extremely grate

Lily's POVSlowly, obeying his command, I began to strip, silently releasing the tiny buttons of my cotton dress from their constraints.I let the dress fall from my shoulders, exposing my lacy blue bra, the same colour of his eyes and the pool around us. Aiden stepped between my legs and made as if to hug me."Hold still." He whispered, then unhooked my bra as well. The cold rush of air made my nipples pull up in taut, almost painful buds. Instinctively, my fingers moved upwards to caress them.But he was already lifting me into his arms, holding me so that we were huddled together against the pool, my breasts crushed against his chest as he pulled me tightly against him.His lips found mine with such alacrity that I was left short of words. He kissed me with such all-consuming passion that I moaned, my own tenuous control shattering. Aiden's hands were all over me, molding me, arousing me. For the first time, I realized exactly why this man could make me respond as no one before.

Lily's POVThe eerie silence that followed the gunshot sent a jolt of fear coursing through my veins. My heart raced as I scanned the surrounding area, trying to pinpoint the origin of the alarming sound."Did you hear that?" I asked, my voice trembling with unease, as I turned to Aiden for reassurance. His expression mirrored my own apprehension, his eyes scanning the perimeter with furrowed brows."Yeah, I heard it," he replied, his tone tense as he surveyed the estate grounds for any sign of danger. "It's probably just... just..." He trailed off, his words faltering as he struggled to come up with a plausible explanation."Just what?" I pressed, my voice tinged with anxiety. "That sounded very dangerous."Aiden's gaze flickered towards the distant tree line, his jaw clenched with determination. "It's probably just my men doing some target practice," he finally offered, though his words lacked the conviction to fully ease my fears."But what if it's not?" I countered. My voice was b

Lily's POVAs I stood frozen in the doorway, my heart plummeted at the sight before me. Aiden's tear-streaked face moved upwards to meet mine, and his arms cradled Cook's lifeless form. Panic surged through me, my mind reeling at the sight of blood staining her clothes.The gunshot....had it met her?God!"Aiden, what happened?" I choked out, my voice trembling with fear and disbelief. "What the fuck happened? What the fuck happened to Cook? Tell me!"Aiden's gaze met mine, anguish etched into every line of his expression. "The bullet met her. She was in the kitchen when it happened."Waves upon waves of horror came crashing down on me. At first, I felt immobilized, like my feet had turned to marble, like I could not move even if I wanted to. And then I defrosted and melted into a heap of anguish beside the unmoving Cook.As I knelt by Cook's side, my heart clenched at the sight of her pale face and the blood staining her clothes. Desperation clawed at my chest as I reached out to tou

Ricardo's POVThe long pier overlooked the Hudson River, and the Statue of Liberty loomed in the distance like a silent guardian of the city. I was standing on the pier, trying to let the cool air from the river wash away my fears.Sighing loudly, I stared at the small fishing boats that floated lazily on the river's surface. But my thoughts were far from the iconic monument or the floating boats before me. Instead, they were consumed by one burning desire: to hear that Aiden was finally dead.The mere thought of his demise filled me with a vile sense of satisfaction, coursing through my veins like a toxic elixir. For years, I had plotted and schemed to rid myself of that pestilential thorn in my side, and now, it seemed, my efforts might finally bear fruit.Maybe....just maybe that Mitch man would be successful in killing my archenemy. Then I would kill Mitch and dump his body in this very river.But even as I relished the prospect of Aiden's demise, there was a nagging voice at the

Lily's POVAs Aiden and I sat in the waiting room of Doctor Youn's office, my heart raced with a mix of happiness and anxiety. It had been a week since Cook's tragic death, and the pain of losing her still lingered like a heavy cloud over our heads.Yet, amidst the sorrow, there was a tiny ray of hope as we waited to see Lucas. Even though Aiden and I had lost Cook to death, there was still the joy of knowing that my brother was alive and well.Aiden sat beside me, his hand clasping mine tightly, a silent reassurance that we were in this together. "It feels like forever since I last saw him," I whispered, my voice barely above a murmur as I stole a glance at Aiden. "Do you think my brother is okay?"Aiden's eyes softened with concern as he turned to me, his grip on my hand tightening ever so slightly. "He's a fighter, Estelle, at least from all you've told me about Lucas." He replied, his voice a low murmur. "He'll pull through, I know he will."I nodded, trying to push aside the nag

Lily's POV"I thought... I thought I was going to die," Lucas choked out between sobs. "When those men... when they shot me, all I could think about was how I would never see you again."My heart shattered into a million pieces as I listened to his anguished words. The realization of how close we had come to losing each other flooded my mind, and tears streamed down my face once again."Oh, Lucas," I whispered, my voice trembling with emotion. "I can't even begin to imagine what you went through. But you're here now, and I'm here. We made it through together."Lucas dried his tears, his gaze was wary as he looked at me. "I suppose you'd want to hear about how I got shot," he said, his voice tinged with hesitation. "You might have wondered..."I smiled gently, reaching out to hold his hand. "Lucas, I already know everything," I assured him. "I know about what happened, about your dealings with Ricardo. You don't need to explain anything to me."Confusion flickered across Lucas' face as
