2024-10-29 19:42:56After the ceremony, when Adrian had gone to attend a meeting, Kim had hurried to seclude James from the rest of the party, not wanting to raise any suspicions.
She knew Fred was not happy with her on this and she especially didn't want to get on his bad side. It was bad enough she had paid someone to be her father today, it would be worse if they found out she was in a relationship, or at least used to be in one.
"What are you doing here?" Kim whispered once they were out of hearing and sight.
"What am I doing here?" James had bloodshot red eyes. "Kim, you are fucking getting married while we are in a relationship, and you're asking me what I'm doing here? The fuck?"
"I know things look weird but I can explain." She sighed. "You know I love you, and I would do anything for you but babe, this is about me, my career and love isn't enough, I need more than that."
"Wow." He sniffed, "and you didn't think it made any sense to end our relationship first?"
"I-" she started to say but was interrupted by Fred's appearance.
"Good timing." James scoffed, "there's something you need to know about your daughter in law, a few things in fact." James told the confused looking man and more than ever, Kim wished the ground would open up and consume her, right that instant.
James was going to burst her fetal bubbles and there was nothing she could do about it.

Lily reflexively moved close enough to hug him. She was still trembling in fear from the man's actions and so Roman held her tightly against him. He was leaving, holding her hand tight when the huge man stood to retaliate. He threw a punch at Roman's back.
Roman didn't expect it and it sent shock right through his spine but he didn't let go of Lily. Instead, he held her hand tighter.
Lily screeched and without too much effort, Roman struck a fist into the stranger's nose and while the man was distracted by the bleeding, he pulled Lily out of there.
Neither of them said a word until they got into his car.
"Thank you." She broke the silence in a whisper.
"You see this is what I was trying to avoid." He had anger laced in his voice, yet he was speaking a little too calm for his own good.
Lily knew he was right this time. She was still anxious from her encounter and so she texted Gaby about the event and told her she would be going home.
"I didn't know you were following me." She said a few minutes into driving.
"You think I'd let you go by yourself?" He responded.
The car that drove her there was trailing behind them slowly.
"Thanks for helping me." She sighed, unable to figure out how she had mixed the address up in the first place.

When they got back, Lily thought it felt nice to feel this type of privacy even though there were so many people in the house.
"I'd like to take a shower." She said when they were in his bedroom. He had cleaned up the romantic setup and that kind of got her feeling a bit upset.
"Okay?" He was undoing his buttons and it was difficult for her eyes not to drift to his hard toned chest. She tried to distract herself with his jet black hair but her eyes studied his pointed nose, pink lips and chiseled jaw instead.
"Um-" she turned around, "is there a robe?"
"The staff customised a closet for you, look in there." He nodded at the walk in closet. He was in nothing but his boxers. How was he not uncomfortable?
She hurried to the closet, grabbed a robe and vanished into the bathroom.
Her worries dissolved at the sight of the bathtub. It looked extremely comfortable. She filled it by clicking on the button that said warm water on it.
"Nice." She complimented the calming sound that came with the gushing water. She took her clothes off and hung them on the bathroom sink along with her robe.
It was bigger than the bathroom in her other bedroom. It had a shower space, a door that led to the toilet. The room was completely white and brightly illuminated with fluorescent bulbs.
She stared at her reflection in the full length mirror and admired her body for a second before her smile faded at the realisation that she was no longer single.
She gasped when she heard the door click and reflexively hopped into the bathtub to hide her nakedness, not minding that she wet her hair.
Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped when she saw that Roman had walked in, completely naked.

Warning: mature.Lily thought she would pass out from the way her heart was thudding, asking to be let out of its cage. For some reason, she couldn't look away from his dangling manhood. She had not been privileged to see one so close up before."My eyes are up here." Roman cut her thoughts short."How do you expect me to look at them when you're naked? What are you even doing here?" She managed to direct her eyes to his."Taking a shower?""Okay but I'm in here?" Lily read the lines out, he was acting so oblivious, it was starting to annoy her."And I'm not complaining?" Roman walked towards a cupboard beside the

Lily took a long bathe and when she went back to the bedroom, she was relieved to find that Roman wasn't there. She didn't think she could face him now after what had happened between them. What had she even been thinking in the first place? Fucking him?She changed into a pair of warm pyjamas and hit the bed, she would go to work as early as possible to avoid him the best she could.*Lily's dreams of going to work early were shattered when she woke up to Roman dressing up. His body was silhouetted so she knew it was still early morning hours. The lights were out except for a few night bulbs.He was doing the buttons on his shirt when she sat up with a stretch."You are going to work with me." He said, not turning around to look at her. He must have sensed her movement and figured she was awake."What?" Lily frowned, breaking her yawn off."You are going to work with me." He repeated, tucking his blue shirt into his pants and s

Roman held her so tight, she began to feel choked but that did not take half of her worries away. She kept shaking him as if her efforts would bring him to wake up but it didn't."Help!" She yelled, thinking she sounded dramatic. But then, what if he wasn't actually sleeping and was having trouble waking up because of an underlying health condition? The thought of it made her even more determined and she called in a louder voice, "help, somebody!"Suddenly, he snapped his eyes open and sprang up.He turned to look at Lily still breathing heavily."Are you okay?" She expressed her concerns. Her face was twitched into fear and her breathing pattern was odd."Should I get you some water or something to drink?" She wondered, attempting to get up and do just that but he held her hand to stop her movements and then he pulled her into a tight hug."Please, don't go." He muttered under his breath.Lily nodded again at his shoulder and p

Kim stepped out of the car to the feeling of warm air. She closed her eyes and inhaled the beautiful scent that accompanied their arrival."Don't you think you are filming too much?" Adrian pointed out, coming down after her.She set her phone down and shrugged her shoulders. She had no interest in having any conversation with this man especially after his behaviour last night and so she just proceeded to meet the rest of the family where they were alighting from their cars. "Coming from someone whose sister films everyday of her life for millions of strangers to see." She muttered.She narrowed her eyes and folded her hands across her chest. "Where's Roman's ride?"The attendants were offloading their luggage from the truck on the other hand.Fred was in a vintage shirt and a pair of shorts. He took his sunglasses off as if that would help him see much better and looked around, noticing for the first time that his son's car was actually nowhere to

As soon as Kim announced that she had seen them, the rest of the family that had already suspected they would be in the tent and had been trailing in the same direction came to see for themselves and they all widened their eyes.Lily and Roman had not been expecting the sudden intervention and so they remained intertwined for a moment.Kim was the only one who didn't look away.Fred cleared his throat, his back against them, "we were looking for you two."Lily wanted the ground to swallow her. The family had just seen them both naked and fucking. Roman pulled out, not seeming to care."Do you have warm clothes, ours are soaked." He raised his eyebrows at Kim and frowned when he realised her eyes were fixed on his cock. She met his gaze and eventually looked away with a smirk on her face."We have in the car..." Adrian responded."How did you find us? We tried to contact you." Roman said as they both got into their we

Lily gasped in shock.She thought she had heard him wrongly. The features of the boy in the image started to make sense to her since she had wondered why he seemed so familiar in the first place."Girlfriend?" She swallowed, surprisingly losing her voice to a crack.Roman looked like he was shocked he had said his thoughts out loud. With a sigh, he lowered his voice and put the picture back into the book and stuffed his hands in his pocket. "Was.""You don't have to lie to me." She said, unable to hide the hurt that flashed through her voice.'she's dead.' He said like it was nothing."Oh." Lily blurted and felt her heart warm instantly. "I'm so sorry." She sighed. She knew she was supposed to feel sad but a part of her felt relief that this woman in question was not a part of his life anymore."What happened?" She wondered"I don't want to talk about it " he said, putting the book away. Now that his brain cells had

Lily stopped smiling when she noticed her husband's glare. Not knowing what to say, she forced a smile, "so we will catch you around later?""Oh you will." He had his eyes fixed on Roman as he said the words.Lily held Roman's hand and pulled him forward so they could head to their destination."You don't seem to like Flynn very much." She pointed out."Stay away from him, he's a fucking bastard." Roman spat out, hatred laced through his voice."Why?" Lily couldn't hold back from asking."He's the bad egg. He's with mom." He simplified his response."So why is he here then?""Emily is still in touch with him and thinks he is still family no matter what. Of course, she would invite him." He shook his head, "let's not talk about him, tell me about you. I don't really know stuff about you." He stuffed his hands into his pockets, changing the topic.Lily thought there was more to the story but she didn't pu

Lily had no idea what this feeling she had was but she knew she wasn't feeling good.She hid away from sight, not wanting to be spotted and not wanting to see what they were doing anymore.She hurried towards the elevator, ignoring Louise's calls for her and leaving the building as quick as possible.It had been a bad idea to stop by in the first place but then it was a good thing to know her place in his life now, whatever feelings of attachment she had been having, it was going to break off now.*Roman closed his laptop. It was time for him to head back home and for some reason, he was looking forward to it today.

Roman was already awake by the time Lily sat up in bed. She was tired and exhausted. They'd had the most silent sex last night and Lily could only think of what next she had to do."I want to go home now." She stated, not turning to look at him. She feared that meeting his eyes would force her to change her mind but she really needed the space to think.Roman nodded and got to his feet, "I'll wait for you outside, you can clean up and get ready in-""No, I want to leave now." She shook her head at him."Alright." His voice was low and he sounded just as tired as she was. She wondered if he'd had any sleep at all. She didn't want to care but she hoped that he got enough rest.Roman helped her to the passenger seat and got on his side.Lily sighed, bracing herself for another moment of silence. It was going to hurt her ears but she couldn't bring herself

Lily shook her face out of his grip. "Roman I'm sorry but I can't. I just can't keep doing this. You lied to me not once, not twice, how do you expect me to believe whatever you have to say?" She attempted to stand on her feet but failed due to the excruciating pain she felt in her foot.Roman crouched so he could lift her up but she wouldn't let him. He shook his head at her, knowing he wasn't leaving her here to drown in pain."You might not want to talk to me but you are hurt and you need my help. I'm not going to leave you on your own injured, there's no point fighting it." With that, he picked her up and led her back to the shed. Cassie was not waiting inside by the time they got there and Lily sighed in relief. She couldn't deal with both their presence but it was better Roman than Cassie.

Kim stopped in front of a bar to order something to drink. She pulled her phone out and groaned at the low percentage before shoving it back into her bag. Adrian had let her go with the escort of a driver and had made up his mind that he never wanted to have anything to do with her ever again.The woman working behind the counter was heavily pregnant, she looked as though she could be on her seventh or eight month and Kim eyed her cautiously."No, I don't drink." The brunette woman snorted and rolled her eyes, "everyone seems to assume that for some reason just because I work here, I'm trying to make ends meet for my baby." She bent to retrieve a pack from the drawer and handed it over to Kim, "and to make sure girls aren't pregnant before they drink, here you go."Kim took

RoMan didn't give an explanation. Instead, he came up to her side and pulled her away from Kim. He held her shoulder for a minute and stared at her blankly."Roman, what's wrong?" Lily stood still, waiting for him to say something. Instead, he went to the closet, stuffed random pieces of their clothing into a mini travel bag. He held it in his weak arm and pulled a plain t-shirt over his head.He held her hand and took her out of the room while she stared still in utter confusion. She met Kim's confused gaze before heading down the flight of stairs.Fred was still waiting in the living room when they got there. He had a frown plastered on his face, "you can't be serious, where are you two fucking headed?"He trailed after them as Roman did not bulge or let go of Lily.Lily wanted to complain that he was holding her too tight but she was still so confused and was barely able to fi

Roman stood up after her immediately and trailed behind her as she made her way to go upstairs, "where are you going?"There was no response.Lily got upstairs and noticed that Adrian and kim had taken their issues to their bedroom. As complicated as the whole matter was, she truly wished they managed to resolve things."Stop following me!" She snapped when Roman came into the room with her. She hadn't been disgusted by someone's attitude in such a long time."This is my room, I can go wherever I want." He reminded her, sitting by the edge of the bed. Lily didn't argue with him, instead, she focused on her closet and began to pack a few clothes."Where are you going?" She could hear the mockery in his voice and when she didn't respond, he softened his tone, "I'm sorry about earlier okay? I didn't mean it like that. I know you did nothing with him, i just think you don't stay safe

Lily had completely forgotten that she actually had a brother in law, come to think of it, in laws at all. She wasn't expecting Adrian to be back from his trip so soon, she thought he would be gone all year, maybe it was something millionaires did.She blinked at the scene in front of her. He'd caught Kim and her 'brother'.She was so glad that she hadn't been the one to break the news to them. Turning to look at Roman, she could tell he had put two and two together and had figured out what was going on as well."Adrian I swear, it's not what it looks like." Kim began to wail while James ran down the flight of stairs without bothering to put his clothes on. It was a good idea because goodness knew what Adrian would do to him if he even stayed a bit longer.Adrian turned to look at Roman with cold, dead eyes. "Is dad home?"Roman didn't look phased by what was going on. "Nah." He shrugged.

Not sure she had heard him right, Lily stood to her feet and blinked at Jerry whose smile was now wearing off into a look of genuine confusion."Are you okay?" He asked her, noticing how the colour had been washed off her face."What do you mean by I am pregnant?" She asked him, hoping he would just wave it off as some silly joke but then that look of confusion on his face widened and he shook his head."I'm surprised you didn't know, I thought to take it since I was doing a general checkup." He thought it wasn't a very good idea now.Lily didn't wanted to wait to hear what else he had to say. She just wanted to leave and go back to the comfort of the room she had shared with Roman and see the pregnancy results for herself."I'm sorry Jerry but I have to go." She announced, standing to her feet."You don't look very okay." He pointed out and she forced the most fake smile

Kim pulled away from James and hid herself under a blanket. "What on earth are you doing here?!" She looked genuinely frightened. In her panicked state, she turned to look at James, "you said you locked the door!""What the hell is going on here?" Lily narrowed her eyes, unable to take it in. Her phone beeped in her hand. She raised the phone to her face, it was a text from Jerry.'I think we should fix a date when we can physically talk and get to know each other better.' the text read.She locked her phone, deciding this wasn't the best time to keep a conversation.Kim sprung to her feet, yanked Lily into the room by pulling her wrist and earning a small shriek from Lily. Kim locked the door behind them and double checked before holding Lily at arm's length."I need you to promise me that nothing you saw just now will get to anybody." Kim began to say, desperation filling her v

He stared at her blankly for a moment and when realisation dawned on him, a bright smile appeared on his face."My God, Lily." He spread his arms and she stood to her feet to receive his embrace in a warm hug while Roman's eyed widened simultaneously."I haven't seen you in forever." She commented, pulling away, still holding hands with him, the only thing Roman could focus on.She was lying, he was one of her old classmates she used to stalk on Weber and she'd known he was hot guy but he had never posted a picture of his medical life."Me neither, wow, here you are and you're still as beautiful as ever." He smiled."Thank you." She blushed. He'd been her high school crush and they weren't really close but they had been good friends at the very least and although they dated for a week in middle school, their communication wasn't deep."If you are done with th
