Chapter 86 Lilian POV I waited along the hallway after Ren went to speak with the doctor about the arrangement to deposit Dad's body in the morgue. I couldn't deny the excitement I felt even amid the pain when I heard he was coming over. We hadn't talked in a week after the incident at the hotel, and since he said he was going to give up, I thought he already went back. I thought I was going to wallow in pain alone without anyone there for me, but when I realized that he was still here, I was elated. I sat on the bench in the walkway and buried my face between my palms. My eyes were dry of tears, so I just sat doing nothing. I thought my Dad was going to be fine, I thought he was going to come out strong, but I was mistaken. I sat there for thirty minutes before he finally showed up, and I stood up as soon as I smelt his familiar cologne. He walked up to me gracefully. "His body has been deposited in the morgue, and the preparation for his burial will begin shortly," "Thank you,
Chapter 87Lilian POVRen had been there for me since the last two weeks that my Dad had been buried, and although the pain is still there, Ren was there to fill up the space, and denying the fact that I felt something for him now was the last thing I would do. Even if I did, deep inside me, I knew that I was just deceiving myself.We would be leaving for LA first thing tomorrow morning, and our things were ready, but deep inside me, I wasn't ready to leave this place. I still wanted to stay back here and spend some time with Ren.It was night already and Ren had not yet returned home after he left three hours earlier, and I was worried about him. For the fifth time, I dialed his number as I sat on the couch in the living room, but just like every other time that I dialed his number earlier, it never went through, and it got me scarier as many thoughts came parading my mind. What if something bad had happened to him out there? What if he got into an accident and his phone stopped work
Chapter 88Ren stared back at her wordlessly, not knowing what to say. This was something he had waited almost all his life for, something he had always daydreamed about... The day he had wished and prayed for every time. It was finally here, and everything still felt like a dream to him."Lil...ian?" He called to be sure this wasn't a dream. Slowly, he touched his lips and blinked his eyes."I love you, Ren," Lilian said again, and this time, he pulled her into his arms and claimed her lips. It was literally their first proper kiss together, and he felt like never stopping this. The way her body made him feel, the way his heart beat rapidly, he knew that yes, this was love. He was finally experiencing love. Although he had been with women in the past and even with Tracy, none of them ever made him feel the way this lady was making him feel. None of them had ever made him so helpless the way Lilian had made him. He kissed her slowly and tenderly until they were breathless, and when he
Chapter 89Lilian POV"Babe, are you ready?" Ren's voice sounded from outside the room before the door opened, revealing him. He was graced in a pair of black trousers and, a purple button-up shirt that had the sleeves folded up to his elbow. His hair was styled beautifully in a wavy style, and all I could say was admit that he looked cute."Why are you staring at me like that?" He asked after he walked inside the room and covered the distance between us. He pulled me close and, our bodies pressed hard against each other, and my heart fluttered. It had been two weeks since we started dating, and those days had been the best of my life so far. I couldn't pray for any life happier and sweeter than this."You look cute," I admitted, and he raised his eyebrows as he pouted his lips."Feels good to hear that from you. You look gorgeous too, my love," He smiled at me heartily as he tucked the strands of hair on my forehead, behind my ear. Furthermore, he wrapped his arms around my waist and
Lilian Sanchez The sound of my blaring alarm pulls me out of my deep slumber, and I force my eyes open as the blurry ceiling welcomes me. Again, I have woken up to deal with the miseries of my life and choose whether to stay alive or get thrown into depression and probably end up committing suicide. I know that I will eventually have to choose between the two. What do you expect from a young innocent lady that got nothing all her life, but bullies and rejection from the world? My name is Lilian Sanchez, twenty-one years old chubby, short and ugly young lady. The only child of my sick father and my mom who was said to have divorced my father and abandoned me when I was just six months old. I have no idea about the reason she had to make that decision. What would've pushed her to abandon her six months old baby? That is the question that has been disturbing me for years now, but I never got an answer to it. What do I even expect? Maybe I was so fat that she couldn't stand my presence
Lilian SanchezThe past three days have been the worst days of my life. I am used to people bullying me for my look, but the only person that ever referred to me as a 'pig' is my stepmother, but hearing it from a stranger for the first time hurts so much. If anyone ever told me that an innocent-looking man would be so mean, I would never have believed the person. Trying to get myself distracted with the novel I bought recently, the sound of the knock on my door pulls my attention, and I groan angrily. Not that I need anyone to tell me that it's my annoying stepmother. What does she want now? "Lilian..." Her voice sounds from outside, confirming my curiosity. "Yes, ma'am Felicia," Standing up from the bed, I stride to the door and pull it open, revealing her ugly-looking face. "Good morning, ma'am," "This is why you're not losing weight. What time is it, and you're still sleeping?" She scoffs as she rolls her eyes. The last thing on my mind now is to argue with her. I have no stre
"What are you doing?" Her hands tremble nervously as she presses her back hard against the wall like she wants to disappear into it. Her heartbeat increases rapidly whilst clenching her fingers tightly around the towel wrapping around her chest like she doesn't want it to fall off. "Don't make that face, Lilian. I didn't bring you here to enjoy life in my empire, OK? You're here to satisfy me..." He pauses as he finally lets the robe falls off his body, revealing his half-naked body with just his brief on. She tries not to drool at his perfectly toned abs, his firm nipples that keep screaming for her attention, but the more she tries to resist the urge to stare, the more she find herself looking down there. "Yeah, that right there... You like what you see, huh?" His hush voice brings her back to reality, and she snaps her eyes up to see him walking toward her, and her heart quivers. "I don't like pigs... I mean, look at me. I am handsome, wealthy, and I have women throwing themselv
The next dayThe sound of the knock on the door pulls her out of her deep sleep, and she snaps her eyes open as she springs up to a sitting position. Glancing at the wall clock that's at 10:33am, she quickly jumps off the bed and rushes to open the door. It's so late in the morning, how come no one woke her up before now? Pulling the door open, the hard glare of a young lady wearing the maid uniform welcomes her. "Good...""Don't you know the time to wake up? This is why you're not losing weight. Gosh! You irritate me," She utters in resentment as she stares at me with a disgusted expression on her face."Good morning," She greets the maid politely instead. It isn't her fault to insult her, but her stepmother's. Maybe she wouldn't have been here in the first place if it weren't for her that sold her out to this monster here. "Save it for who needs it, please. Mr. Ren is getting married today, and he will be having guests around later. Don't show your face in the living room. You w
