*Thierry POV*BACK TO PRESENT____After reminiscing about the past, I felt my heart tighten, and all hope was lost."Shit!" I cursed and sprinted out of my room in search of Lilith. I have completely forgotten that it was because of her that I had to remember my past.They have taken her sister away from me, and I will not allow her to be the next. I think Boris is right; I will make her mine forever."Lilith!" I called out and forcefully opened her door, but I couldn't find her in the room.My heart began to pound faster. Hope Ezekiel hasn't taken her." I muttered in fear and began to shake vigorously."NOT AGAIN!" I screamed out and was about to race out to find her, when I then bumped into her barely, making us fall on the floor. I reflexed Swifty to shield her body from the hard impact while I took the pain."Arrghh!" I groaned in pain, still having her on top of me. She attempted to pull away, but I held her close instead."Don't move," I mumbled with my eyes closed, enjoying her

*Author POV*Lilith took a step back as Sebastian attempted to touch her. He strode further, but before he could get a hold of her, his friend interrupted him."Hey man, just calm down and let her be; since they are there to entertain us, let them do so, and then we take things from there," Dominico proposed."Makes sense," he simply mumbled and went to sit back. Lilith let out a sharp breath of relief.The three of them moved to the other end of the large lounge, which has three sprouting poles.Killian took the first pole, Lilith took the middle one, and Jenny took the last pole.They positioned themselves for their dance moves, and immediately as classical music filled the air, they began to dance Sensationally.The ladies began to swirl around the pool, twisting and whining to the beat.The Four men seated couldn't take their eyes off them; their eyes locked into their bodies intensely as they sipped their glass of vodka.Seeing all eyes on them Lilith felt disgusted but didn't sh

*Thierry POV*I was playing with the sliver pistol that was in my hand as I whispered the lyrics of my childhood favorite poem, "My Mother."Inside the pitch-dark room was no other than the presence of two of my bodyguards and a set of family members, or should I say in-laws?Well, we have Mrs. Monica Peters and her daughter, Sarafina Peters, and Jason Artemis, the family and husband of Lillth, the ones that conspired and sold her to us."I don't know why you brought us here! Free us this minute, you scumbag!" Jason shouted in pain. Blood was oozing out of every part of his body; he had been badly beaten and tied to a metal pole, while the other women were just tied to a wooden chair and hadn't been touched.Boris, make him keep shut," I ordered, watching him move from his spot to go And perform my instruction given."You!" I pointed at the one known as Lilith's mother, which of course was all a facade."Tell me your story and why you trafficked her; be honest!" I warned.The woman s

*Lilith's POV*I was busy twisting and turning on a very soft and comforting something. What's that? Of course, it's a bed."Wait a bed! How?" I flutter my eyes open in bewilderment. How the hell did I get into a bed? The Last thing I could remember was Thierry being in an affectionate State with me and saying, "Oh, I slept off!"I climbed down from the tall and massive bed only to discover I had even changed into a new pair of Pajamas.I look around my surroundings, wondering what I am doing in this luxurious place. From the looks of things, this might be a penthouse.To confirm my guess, I peeked out of the huge window only to be greeted with the beautiful view of a pure blue sea! "Is this an island?" I wonder, feeling kind of excited, but now is not the time for that; I have to find out what I'm doing here."Hello! Is anyone here!?" I screamed out at the top of my lungs as soon as I opened the bedroom door; however, I came across a durable wooden stairs leading down to the living r

*Lilith POV*"Thierry!" I called at him as I snapped back to my senses due to the ringing sound coming off of his phone.He hissed and reluctantly moved away from me. I used this opportunity to cover myself with the blanket, feeling a little shy for what just happened; if not for that call, we would have done the deed.I watched as he picked up his phone grumpily and swiped it open, and the next thing I saw, his expression darkened, and he clenched his fist and unclenched it."Take care of yourself and don't leave the room until I return; I will be back." He spoke in a distant tone and exited the bedroom, leaving me confused."What could that be?" I wondered and sighed._____&______I am currently sitting beside a poolside, sipping a cup of hot chocolate tea. It's been three days since I last saw Thierry. I feel abandoned and confused, but this can't stop the fact that I have missed him so much, Making me question myself about what I feel for this man."Babydoll!" I froze. "Am I dream
