LillyI had never been as happy with someone as I was with Jake. Although our relationship came with a lot of limitations, it greatly improved on the quality of my life. i felt alive once again. I had not realised that I had been missing out on a lot for a long time. Having someone that makes you feel safe is underrated. It is the best thing in the world. To know that someone out there is looking out for you because he loves you is one of the best things ever. My fear of Kyle reduced when I was with Jake. The good thing Kyle kept a low profile during that time so I was able to relax. When I saw a photograph of him posing intimately with another woman, I felt relived. At least his focus would be away from me. If he thought those photos would make me jealous, he was barking up the wrong tree. My feelings for him had not been that strong, and had ended long before I ended the relationship.Jake was always there for me. He spent a lot of his free time at my place and I wasn’t complaining

Lilly.“Kyle is here,” Leah whispered.“What?” I said, immediately starting to feel scared. “He’s two rows behind us,” she said.I waited for a minute before turning. My eyes met his. Instead of looking at the stand-up comedian on stage, he was staring at me. The familiar woman behind him was laughing hard at something the comedian had said. Leah’s held and squeezed my hand, giving me some reassurance. Kyle smiled at me and I turned back to face the front. My evening was already ruined. Even the funny lines the comedian kept dropping were no longer funny to me. I couldn’t wait for the show to be over so I could go far away from that jerk. Had he planned it? Did he find out that we were coming? I remembered telling him that I liked that comedian. He probably knew that if Justin Hayes was performing nearby, I wouldn’t miss. When the show finally got done, Leah and I were out within seconds.Most of the taxis had been taken by people who had come out first, those that had been seated

Jake.Lilly’s near death experience changed everything for me. It reminded me of how short life is. I decided that the secrecy was over. I couldn’t keep my love under wraps anymore. It was time to let the world know I loved Lilith Hellman. To hell with my mother, the time had come for her to face the truth. I was not a child anymore, and I no longer needed her to fight my battles. i had grown and needed to stop calling her back to my side at every minor inconvenience. Lilly was in the hospital for two days. I visited her and it was reported to the media. I did not care. The media went into a frenzy, everyone trying to guess why I was visiting the woman who had been a thorn on my side a short while ago. Thankfully everyone who knew what the truth was did not reveal it. When she was discharged, she chose to go and recuperate from Leah’s house. I figured she chose to go there because she needed someone to take care of her. When I heard she was home, I immediately drove there. She seeme

Jake.The birds were chirping and little rays of sunlight seeped through the curtains. I sat up and felt a mild ache on my back. It had been very long since I had slept that badly. After sacrificing the bed for Heather, I had no choice but to lie on the couch. I resented her so much I couldn’t be that close to her. It would lead to temptations that would have terrible effects. I had to let Heather know that I had moved on and had zero interest in her. If she thought we would end up getting back together, she was wrong. I stood up and went to the bedroom of the suite we were staying in because that was where the bathroom was.Clearly, she heard me coming because when I opened the door, she was seated on the bed, nude, and her big fake breasts showing. I didn’t feel anything so I just continued to the bathroom.“Good morning to you, too, grumpy.”I showered as fast as I could and left the bathroom. Heather watched me as I crossed the room and opened my suitcase. I searched through and f

Jake.I spent most of the day with Ashley while Heather sulked off and joined some group of lads. I knew she had called my mother who was most likely was angry at me for abandon her dream daughter in law. She was probably trying to call and threaten me every minute but unfortunately for her, my phone was switched off. She had no power over me without her threats.Ashley and I played several games and toured the island. Several paparazzi took pictures of us. I didn’t even want to know what was going out there. Media houses were probably wondering which of the two women I wanted. I had been photographed with Heather at some point and then with Ashley. I didn’t mind the attention, having gone numb. After losing Lilly, my heart had become numb and most of my emotions were off. That was why I was able to act callously to the two women around me. I did not care about them and their emotions. They were both adults who had chosen to come even though they knew I was not in love with any of th
