Lily’s Pov
He nodded, “Your parents took you home before I could wake up and before rrry farrily arrived For years we searched for you and coincidentally we found you through your grandmother I’ve always wanted to meet the heroic qul who saved my life without thinking I guess that feeling gradually developed into love
“Oh my gosh!” exclaimed, surprised:
Lance smiled, “Yeah, I didn’t tell you because I don’t wanna overwhelm you, Lily, but I understand if you don’t want to continue with the marriage
I was shocked, “I was worded you wouldn’t want me again after all the drama that has happened here, Lance. Especially, since I was married before and the whole thing is a mess”
Lance smiled and touched my cheeks as he tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear
“I would never not want you, Lily,” he said.
His words broke my heart as the wouls of the doctor sounded in my mind. The tears I’ve been holding for the past few weeks broke like a dam and ran down my cheeks.
“What did I say wrong?” Lance asked, concen etched in his voice as he hugged me
I bawled my eyes out, my body shaking in the process, I cried because I knew that once he heard what I had to say he wouldn’t want me again beried because despite everything I’ve done today it doesn’t change the fact that Andrew and Kira hurt me beyond repair
I couldn’t stop crying, my heart ached as he held me in his arms. He was too perfect, after everything I’ve h through I didn’t deserve to be with him I couldn’t drag him along with my shit.
“I’m sorry.“Tered
“Talk to me. Lily” be coaxed.
I pulled away from him, wiping my tears with the back of my hands, “I’m sorry.”
Then I ran while he ran after me. I ran into the ballroom, my eyes red and puffy My brother and parents saw me and they got worried.
“Lily” they all called after me including Lance but I didn’t stop.
Tran from my own wedding party I just wanted to go home and curl up into a ball while I bawled my eyes out. As
I saw my driver, I hailed him. He hurried to bring the car.
I
Just as I was about to enter, Andrew stopped me.
“Lily, I swear I had no idea. You have to believe me, I’m so sorry” he cried
I saw he was holding the envelope and it was torn, meaning he had seen what was inside. I had packaged the
content of the doctor’s report so he would see what he and Kira did to me
I pushed him away. “Stay away from me.”
Then I climbed into the car as the driver sped away. All through the ride I didn’t stop crying. My phone was buzzing as my parents, Adam, and Lance tried calling me and texting. It became annoying. I had to turn off my phone.
I arrived back home and went into my room, slamming the door as I took off my dress. I stared at my reflection in the mirror and my hands touched my stomach and a sob escaped my lips
All the pent–up emotions that I had buried and channeled into rage came to the surface now as intense sadness Now that I had gotten my revenge there wasn’t anything left except to face the reality that I would never be able to
have children.
Grabbing a robe, I wrapped it around myself as I lay down on the bed and kept crying. I cried until the tears wouldn’t flow again then I curled myself into a ball and resigned to fate.
I don’t kn
how long I stayed in that position but I must have slept off because the next time I felt a soft touch on my hair, I opened my eyes and I saw my mother. It was daybreak outside.
“How are you feeling?” she asked me worriedly.
I sighed and sat up on the bed, my head ached and my eyes hurt from yesterday but I managed a smile.
“I’m alright, Mom. I’m sorry for making you worried,” I lied.
My mother shook her head, “No, Lily. We are your family and we want the truth. What happened last night? Lance is worried about you, he told us what happened but none of us could understand why that would make you sad.”
I smiled bitterly, “I don’t wanna talk about it, Mom
My mom sighed, “If you don’t want the marriage we can call it off. We already said you shouldn’t pressure yourself”
“Yes, Princess. If you want us to move just say the word and if you want that asshole in jail then tell me,” my
father added
He was standing in the doorway with my brother and they both had a worried expression on their faces
“All these wouldn’t bring back what I lost,” I said and started crying again.
My family looked confused
“What did you lose, Lily? What are you not telling us?”
